His position as expert adviser to the members of the American dele gation and his unusual powers of observation and of vivid descrip ion made his word picture of the "inside workings" of '.he Confer ence especially interesting. Contrary to the opinion held by *ome American* he «a'd there were very few social affairs dur ing the this Conference a* ha* been the custom among previous treaty making bodies. There were only a few dinners, and the Brit ish gave a dance at their hotel every Saturday night.

Prof. Charles Seymour Says League of Nations Hast ened Peace America's preparation for peace wa* outlined and to the surprise of many it was stated that or.e of the first things the president did when this country entered the war was to send to Europe selected ex to prepare data on the ter ritorial and racial situation there.

The American delega tion. he said was considered the - strongest in the conference with regard to facts. His amusing exposition of the characteristics of the ten men"—two from each of the b countries. England, France,. Ital The United States dnd Japan, and their attitudes when weighty ques tions were under discu "big ig v. on. was particularly enjoyable. The utter lack of pose or of any attempt at theatrical effect was the despair of :* who sought to depict what was without doubt, the most im portant conference in the history of the world. The absolute sincer ity and cf these great men and their desire to get the treaty fi ed as quickly a* the complex: uation would permit, the outstanding characteristic of the Conference. art , ts the President RR'ilson'.* method of dealing with important questions was explained as most thorough and painstaking—he told his ex perts that he expected them to pre sent him with facts : that he want ed them to be absolutely sure of the facts: and that he would argue them before the Conference. He stGod at all time* for reparation as complete a* possible and for guarantees as sure as possible with a just peace. He paid a high tribute to President RR'ilson de claring him to be "the biggest man at the Conference."
