PLAN FOR STUDENTS
IN FOREIGN NATIONS
TO RECEIVE LETTERS

WASHINGTON, Nov 13.-Estab-
lishment of system of exchanging
letters between American and For
eign school children, earnestly sup
ported by Ambassador Naon of Argen-
tina and other diplomats, was sug-
gested today by the American Peace
Society here in a letter to it's school
division. Already such a plan is un-
der trial by the New Hampshire divi-
sion of the society and its successful
working out will be followed by it's
institution on a broad scale all over
the country
Under the plan, high school pupils
would be encouraged as part of their
course to prepare a regular letter at
stated intervals to another high school
pupil in some South American or
European country. The letters would
be all co-ordinated, and in some cases
where essential, translated, and then
delivered through the schools of the
foreign country. Correspondence
would be between individuals, so that
the personal element would be encOur-
aged as much as possible.

No Consideration Given Yet
to Question of Changes
in Cabinet For Next

WASHINGTON, Nov. 49, Presi-
dent Wilson was back at his desk in
the White House today, after an alb.
sence of two months, prepared to take
up important foreign problems which
have been held In abeyance pending
the election as well as domestoc ques.
tions. These included the German
submarine situation, the Mexican
problem and number of federal
appointments.
The president was expected to con-
slider first the submarine situation
which is admittedly serious. A sum-
mary of recent developments in Ger
man submarine warfare, prepared by
the state department, was ready to be
laid before him, in addition, he prob
ably soon will confer again with Am
bassador Gerard on the situation.
The president has not even consid-
cred the question Of changes in his
cabinet, according to administration
officials, who characterize as prema-
ture reports that he had decided on
such changes. 1t is possible, however,
that one or two cabinet officers may
not remain after March a.
