 The American merchant marine, la bOr problems and the war revenue bill were other subjects taken up at the conference tonight which lasted until about 10 o'clock. The president was said to have reiterated his views on the necessity for great fleet of ships to carry the nations commerce and to that end favors continuation of the governments ship-buildinR program.
 Regarding labor. senators were said to have been told that mainte- nance of utmost confidence between employers and employees is particu- larly essential during the period of reconstruction.
 Retrenchment in federal expendi- lures, as far as is consistent, was said to be desired by the president, who told the senators he already had taken teps to that end. In this con nection, the pending war revenue bill was discussed especially with Senator Simmons. chairman of the senate finance committee. The president asked regarding prospects of it's pas sage. in view of his approaching de- parture for France and was advised by Senator Simmons of the prospect of delay and determined republican opposition to the plan proposed by Secretary McAdoo for determination in the pending measure of 1920 tax rates

 fully wired and the tools were of the best.
 The railway yards at Montmedy and other places along the line that served the Germans as one of their main arteries of communication dur ing their last stand against the allied advance were filled with locomotives and cars ready for use, while great quantities of general stores not men, toned in the terms of the armistice had been abandoned to the allies. Undamaged stores left behind on every road over which the Americans advanced bear evidence of the great retreat
 At Virton was found great salvage dump, where tons of clothing. gas masks and helmets had been brought by the German troops.
 A road near St. Leger over which the correspondent drove just behind the evacuating armies was so thickly covered with big iron German helmets that at times they interfered with the operation of his automobile.
 However. il was not the litter of a battle field that one saw, or even that of disorderly retreat under fire. It was merely the evidence of the pass ing of tired, disheartened foe, who was going home.
 The country generally presented a strong contrast to that fought over for so many years. The Americans camped today in towns, most of which bear no trace of warfare.
 Here and there was one which showed evidences of the fighting at the time the French attempted to check the German march through Belgium. In most of the towns every house was intact. Among the excep- tions are Longuyon and Montmedy where a few torn buildings, the result of American air raids, and aerial photographs of whose scars have long been on file at American head quarteds.
 The roads over which the Amer jeans travelled are in excellent con dition due to their distance back of the former German lines and the linn ited use made by the enemy of motor trucks. This, coupled with the almost constant work upon them by the Ger mans, kept them in a condition almost equal to those of France before the war. The retreating army left on the roads dozens of steam rollers, which had been working almost to the day of its departure.
 Although early victims of the var. Belgium's inhabitants in this quarter appear better off today than the French civilians a few miles back

 The Germans had one hospital in Virton. When they found it incOn- venient to evacuate all the patients, some were left, the civilians agree ing to care for them The mayors prOclamatiOns calling upon the inhabi- tants to care for the sick, feed the prisoners OfNwar and returning civil ians were posted prominently about the city, alongside German orders reg ulating the sale of drinks and desig- mating certain restaurants for officers and others for men. Beside them ap- peared theater bills of concerts and vaudeville. The Germans were not without amusement wherever they stayed and motion picture shows and theaters are preparing to open to- night
 It has been suggested that the ap- parent prosperity of the villages ent- cred as indicated by the quantities or food in the restaurants may not be wholly real and that perhaps is it is more to the fact that the German has seen to it that the restaurants and shops they patrOnized were well cared for. What were seen by the Americans, after all, were but limited stocks.

Bonds of the fifth war loan, to be offered probably in the spring. will be of short maturity, Secretary Me Adoo announced today This was in terpreted as meaning five years or less. The secretary said it is impos- sible. to predict the size or time of flotation of future bond issues, but added that it is entirely clear that the moment has come when the inter ests of the government and the coun- try would be best served by the issue Of bonds of short maturity and that that would be the policy of the treas ury department
 Whether short term bonds might be sold at the interest rate of A per cent set for the past two Liberty loans, or might be increased, remains for future determination. Existing

CONFER ON MADISON
LABOR SITUATION
"Wn the War Oner BY Madison
Wooden Company

At a meeting held in the Office of
Hon. C. o. Small at Madison last Sat
urdav. between Elmer W. Sawyer at
tornev for the Madison Woolen Com
pany. and a committee representing
the labor unions affected by the in
junction proceedings of the woolen
company, Mr.. Sawyer, on behalf of
the company made the following prop
osition.
Briefly he stated that at the present
time with the Liberty Loan campaign
and the new draft coming on soon,
there was an increasing need of har-
mony at home and the union Of all
factions in support of the war and all
war measures; that it was not a time
for local controversies; that there
were union men and women in Madi-
son who would like to work in the
Madison mill but who would not do
so while the strike remained on even
though only technically as the strike
had long since been declared at an
end in fact by the State Board of Ar
bitration and Cancellation; that many
of these people were working at trades
at which they were not as proficient
as at making cloth and that with the
new draft coming on there never was
a time when the government needed
the work of all skilled textile work
ers as II needs ii NoV' hat many tex
tile workers co0.et ~. ndch more
money than they are now receiving by
going in to mill To work, especially
since there had been an increase of
wages since the strike of over thirty
per cent; and that the present con
dition was injuring no one but these
union members.
He stated that in view of these con-
ditions and in the interest of harmony
in Madison during the crisis, the com
pany was willing to dismiss the in
junction. pIpN NtthlllSS anu an ltShl Dl'

the strike, in 50 far as the company
was able to stop them. and to pay the
costs of court. provided the Textile
Union would declare the strike at an
end and make their action in so doing
public
Mr. Sawyer further stated that he
hoped no one interested in this offer
would interpret it as a weakening on
the part Of the company, as ne could
assure them it was not; but that as
he had previously stated it was made
in the interests of harmony in Madi-
son and purely as a win the war
move
1t is understood that the offer has
not been accepted up to this time

and a ready hand have been in wait
