ALLIED COUNCIL
CONTINUED from page u

many has just the same sort of
plan in her air service.
One OF these new types will be an
American model-provided the tests
under war conditions soon to be
made prove the fitness of the Ameri-
can machines.
Standardization of allies forces in
the air is expected enormously to in
crease the output Of aeroplanes-
not only in America, but in other
allied countries as well as facilitate
the re-supplying of parts.
Thus, if a National Cash Register
plant becomes a fabricator of aero
planes and parts, it would instantly
fill rush orders from anywhere on
any front.
1t was Colonel House. according to
the members of two councils who
devised the plan of business like des-
patch of problems before the pam
allies, House discovered in advance
of the meetings that there We're
numerous major and minor partici-
pants who were primed and ready
with speeches.
House believed a fast-worktng,
auickly-deciding board should appear
In the war council and the inter
allied meeting. He wanted to model
! its session along the lines of board
of directors meeting of an American
business corporation. He consulted
Premier Clemenceau. pointed out that
after all one. single speech really
meant just as much as lot of adj
dresses which could reasonably be
expected to last several days.
Clemenceau caught the idea. He
prepared a typewriter statement OF
zone single paragraph, concluding
with the terse phrase:
Lets work.
! The councils did.
! In three days political and military
/ leaders arranged a new business
organization Today most of them
had departed for home There wasn't
a single speech-fest or banquet
during the time the leaders were
meeting. 1t was business from the
word 60 Except for the Standard
cation of aeroplanes it was not made
known today what decision had beer
reached by the meetings The
Italian and Russian situations, it was
certain. played an important part IL
the discussions.
Colonel House announced today he
would remain in Paris for few days

TOXIC, Dec. 3.-Japan is anxious
to hear what the supreme war council
and inter-allied war conference has
decided as to Nippon's future part In
the war.
The Russian Bolsheviki armistice
plans today brought about renewal
Of discussion Of Japan sending troops
to the western fronts.
1t was believed here that the Paris
and Versailles conferences formally
considered such additions to the allies
lighting forces.
Japanese otticialdom was frankly
eager TO learn what decisions had
been reached at these meetings.
Apparently no report has been re-
ceived from Japan's ENJOYS. That
the empire will participate much more
largely in the war, was regarded as
certain by the public.

5,1OO,OOO POUNDS
 OF CANNED PEAS
 FOR SEA SAMMIES

The Navy Department is giving or ders for 5,100,000 pounds of canned peas, to be delivered as needed
 "TheSe orders amount to total of 100000 cases" said Paymaster Gen. McGOwan, Chief of the Bureau of Sup plies and Accounts. "The tentative prices run from 1.15 to $1.50 dozen cans, but all orders are subject to le- vision by the Navy Department, the prices to>be based on the cost plus a reasonable profit. Ninety per cent of the tentative price will be paid to the packers on delivery. The mal.er of cost is being considered by the Bu- reau of Costs and Accountancy of the Department of Commerce, which is as- Sisting both the army and navy.
 "By going to the canners direct we are getting much more satisfactory de- lliveries and are eliminating both the wholesalers and brokers profits.
 "These contracts are being given to the canners in the principal centers of the canning industry, including New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary land, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wis conSin, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Califor- mia, Utah and Idaho"
