PARIS, Feb. 4.—President Wilson was given an unusual reception hy the Socialists of the Chamber of Deputies. They tried to drown the applause from, the center and right in an apparent attempt to show| " President Wilson that his ideals were their own. When the interpreter in translating the President’s address reached | that part of his speech in which President Wilson spoke of. society of nations, the Socialists rose, shouting:! “Long live the society’ of nations,” and some adding, “down with war.” , (By Aanociated Press.) PARIS, Feb. 4.—President Wilson} has several appointments today. He} is determined, however, that nothing) shall be permitted to obstruct the progress of the commission of which| he is chairman and which now is en-| gaged in perfecting a scheme for the| is concentrating upon that work. While less than two weeks remain before the date set for President Wil son’s return to Washington, it is still! regarded as within the range of possi- bility for the great project not only! to be reported from the commission | but also for the peace conference in| plenary session to ratify the plan and | thus put it fairly in a way to be regis- tered in treaty form within the time limit. There is growing feeling that the treaty of peace should be speedily; perfected, now that principle of the} Society of Nations and many details of its construction have been agreed upon. British Foreign Secretary Balfour, is engaged upon a proposition to fix| the territorial boundaries of defeated | nations immediately and promptly, conclude peace with the enemy as} constituted. The program would then be to go on with the settlement of other ques- tions remaining to be solved under the rules of the Society of Nations. With such an agreement in general principles as has ,been reached, it is held in some quarters-that there may bo no need to treat specifically with such subjects as freedom of the seas, the use of submarines in warfare, the creation of buffer states and even the} delimitation of national boundaries with reference of defensive possi-| bilities. Tho idea is that there is no} necessity to consider the question of defense against a neighbor whose good behavior is assured. Some questions require immediate consideration, it seems generally agreed. These are subjects such as the assessment of damages caused by the war, the responsibility of the war, | the regulation of the use of interna-| tional waterways and railways, dif-| ficulties presented by the present| state of chaos in treaty relations be-| tween nations as one result of war, and treatment of the labor question | by international accord. { Some of these problems will re- quire a long time to settle, notably flicted by the enemy, altho it has been | suggested that an adjustment of this question might be facilitated by the adoption of an estimated gross sum, based on preliminary examinations which already have been made by SOCIALISTS APPLAUD SOCIETY OF NATIONS| PLAN OF PRESIDENT| 'work after the final adjustment of Accorded Wilson in Agreement on Gen-) Hurry Organization | Assembly Set for Renewal of Strife by Spartacans (By United Prenns.) government Thursday, says the Vo waerts.

GOVERNOR CAREY CALLS ON STATE TO HONOR ROOSEVELT FEBRUARY g In the death of Theodore Roos t the nation lost one of its most distinguished citizens. Not only America but the entire civilized world mourns. A character like his isea priceless heritage to all mankind, He was a man of simple habits and loved the plain 4 His standards were efficiency, honesty and loyalty. He had the cou of his con- victions and never wavered from truth and righteousness. It is perculiarly fitting that the people of the Great West should do him honor. He was attached to the West and his fondest hopes and highest ideals were inseparably interwoven with those of our own people. At times when he needed rest and recreation he turned to the pure atmosphere and the solitude of our mountains. Te was a mighty hunter and the big game of the Rockies tried his steady nerve und his practiced eye. His life ended at the culmination of herculean efforts in the interests of all peoples und particularly of the people of his own be- loved country. Through his individual efforts the nation was roused to a high sense of duty and patriotism and to him more than to any other citizen do we owe our successful fight for human liberty. Autifor, Historian, Scientist, Sportsman, World’s Citizen, §t is fitting that we do honor to the illustrious dead. The Congress of the United States has set aside Sunday, February the ninth as the day when it shall conduct services in his honor. NOW THEREFORE, Robert D. Curey, Governor of Wyoming, urge the people of the various communities of the State to set aside Sunday, February the ninth, as the day when meetings und serv shall be held in honor of this great American.
