HIST DATE OF FINAL PEACE
No Real Pear of Outbreak By th*
Bolshevik In Q*rmany But the
Present Regime la UnsUble.
President Wilson Is expected to ar
rive in Paris on the morning of De
cember 13.
It Is likely, before any meeting of
the allied delegates, he will be shown
some of the devastated districts on
ths western front. It will certainly
not be before the middle or the end of
December that be will meet hie fellow
delegates. Doc*mt>*r 16 Is mentioned
as the probable time for the first meet
ing, but December 20 is the more
likely dato to be agreed upon.
The peace conference proper prob
ably will meot In March or April. It
Is possible now to give a general out
line of the probable courso of the
peace negotiations, although naturally
at this early stage, no definite pro
gram has boen established. The prob
lems are too vast for any Immediate
peace to be fixed without the greatest
danger to future peace and, even with
the coat of maintaining some armle*
1n the field, It Is well not to hope for
a final settlement for many months.
There are many factors in this ds
lay. While It appears there I* no
reaion for foaring an outbreak of
bolsh«v4sm In Germany, there Is abun
dant feason to suspect the present
regime Is unstable and at the mercy
of any absolute coup d'etat.

cause the conference will be held in
France.
President Wilson's disposition Is In
favor of entirely public proceedings,

chamber at Washington, with ths
press representatives given every fa
cility to report certain business. Nat
urally thero will be need of secrecy,
as there Is In the foreign relation*

held and used by tho Americans with
out any remuneration to the owners.
The question has been discussed.
In a leader In The SJoefartatldende,
which stated the percentage of ton

that of uny other merchnntlln fleet in
the world, while the total los of lives
wan about 5 per cent of all Norwegian
seamen. After tho services of Nor

fact Is put at Its face value. Because
American confiscation deprives Nor

In the service of the allies, the Journal
reminds. Norwegian owners thereby
are compelled to order new ships in

"But our American friends, says
this Journal, have as yet refused to
pay us the money we wanted in pay
ment for these new ship*. The Amer
icans are straining tha patience of
their Norwegian friends seriously."

Postmaster General Burleson from
further control of Its 10,000 miles of
