 WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Prepara-
 tions for final peace negotiations will
 engross American and allied states
 men during the next few weeks, while
 Marshal Foch and the naval command. CTS see to it that the terms of armis-
 tice which ended the fighting today are carried out Thirty days is the armistice period and since it hardly will be possible to assemble the great est peace conference in history within that time, an extension practically is certain to be granted by the victors and accepted by the vanquished
 What happens in Germany, in what once was Austria-Hungary and in Rus sia during the meantime probably will govern the solution of many of the complex problems awaiting the confer ence.
 Absorbed in the celebration of the German surrender, today the officials were unwilling to discuss for publica- tion the next steps to be taken and to make future wars at least on so vast a scale, impossible. But in a general way what is to be expected already is known. The address of President Wilson and the premiers and public men of the entente coun- tries all have been carefully studied by those who must plan the next step and at one time or. another these spOkesmen have touched upon nearly every idea that might be properly in cluded in the treaties. This is par ticularly true of President Wilson's declaration which he presents not only the ideas of the American govern ment, but from their almost unquali- fled acceptance by the entente powers, may be regarded as already constitut- ing the framework which can be clothed with the details necessary to round out complete fabric of peace 
 This framework, in all probability, will be put into final shape by discus sions among the chiefs of the victor ious powers long before the represen- SaNAfCo OA NAC NdAQulonCu dIc to accept or plead for modification of what is to be dictated to them. The work is expected to be carried on much as the armistice terms were prepared, the nations which have taken the largest part in the war and whose voices consequent ly are entitled to gretest weight, pre- pairing the outline, with the spokes- men of the many others with aspira- | tions to be satisfied joining in the dis l when their interests are in- volved.
 Probably the violent changes in the | existing conditions which will result | from the enforcement of the terms of | he armistice will powerfully strength en the earnest desire of all nations | to have the final arrange nents made at the earliest possible | 
 One of the most weighty problems | connected with geographical arrange future of Alsace-LOrraine already practically has been settled oy the acceptance of President Will 'on's declaration for fighting the wrong of 1870, which means uncon- iitional return of the province to France.
 In his address to congress today in with the armistice, Presi- lent Wilson indicated another serious problem that must engage the atten- ion of the peace conference - the question of the stability and compe- ency of the governments with which covenants of peace are to be made.
