Ask Wilson To Attend Conference Messages From High Sources in Europe Reach
 Our President. CABINET OBJECTS
 BECAUSE OF RISK No Constitutional Obstacles To Prevent His
 Participation.

Washington, Nov. 13 - Mes sages from high sources in Europe are reaching President Wilson urging that he person. ally attend the peace confer ence that will settle finally the issues growing out of the war. The President, it was said, to- day, has given no indication of how he regards the suggestion.
 Members of the Presidents cabiner are understood 5o be strongly advis- ing against the step, on the ground that it would involve useless risk and would accomplish nothing that could not be accomplished through dele gates.
 There are no definite constitutional obstacles to the Presidents particl- patton in a peace conference to be held in Europe or any other point outside of the United States. On 1core than one occasion the executive has gone beyond the territorial limits without thereby ceasing to exercise his functions. President Roosevelt visit ed the canal zone; President Taf! crossed the St. Lawrence into Can q l. and President Benjamin Harrison crossed the Rio Grande to meet Presi- dent Diaz of Mexico.

PANAMA'S HEAD
 DELIVERS FINE SPEECH ON TERMS

Panama, Nov. 13-After reading the terms of the armistice between he allies and Germany and the ad- dress delivered by President Wilson at Washington, President Porras, of Panama, said on Monday:
 'aThe common victory means more to Latin America, perhaps, than even those who took a more active part in the struggle.
 "The emphasis that has been laid upon the rights of small nations and upon the the right of self determina- ton has been so great that these ideas are established in the interna- tionaI code. Along wiwth this goes the idea of the broader international ism, which means that all nations will draw closer together than heretofore, without the disrust that was inevita- bIe in the old days when internadon- alism too frequently was mixed with exploitation.
 The magnaminity with which the allied nations are preparing to pro- vide food for the people of Germany and Austria is the best guarantee ot the new order of international rela- tons"

STOP OVERTIME ON GOVERNMENT
 SEP BUILDING

Washington, Nov. 13-That the United States government intends to eConomize now that the war is prac- tically over is evident from reports around the Capitol and at War Indus tries headquarters. An official of the Shipping Board stated last night that orders had been sent to the leading shipyards throughout the country to curtail overtime and extra work and to continue with the regular force un til further orders. This means that the shipbuilders will work with a nor nal force and without additional Workmen to their present force. The saving in money will run into mill lions of dollars.
 Contracts for future delivery of in- sulated wire, copper etc, will be can celled, or abrogated, within the next 24 hours. These contracts, which l. the war continued, would run int millions of dollars, will be done away with and the government will be in a position to save all this money with a view of appropriating it for the re- construction of the government in the future.
 As forecasted in leading articles carried by the Commercial, and sub stantiated by statements of the dollar. a-year leaders of the several War Boards in the government service who | claim their services are about to come to an end now that the war is over | dismantling will take place and the | government will economize in every | direction so that additional loans vii not be issued by the government t. meet these obligations.
 These edicts were borne out by or. ders issued to curtai1 in every branch l of the service additional contracts anc the cancellation of prospective con. l tracts which would be absolutely nee. essary in the prosecution of thl | war.
 The orders to the shipyards are 1T line with the edict to all department,
 to curtail expenses. The chaotic con
 dition of world finance makes it nee
 essary for the American people .; prepare for further heavy taxatio1
 and bond issues, Secretary McAdo,
 warned.

All day yesterday there were many explosions behind the German lines, indicating that the enemy was blow ing up ammunition dumps. Ct is not probable that the Germans were destroying ammunition dumps after the signing of the arnistice terms. Because of the congested ca bles it is probable that portions were written on Nov. Il and some unac- countable statements were delivered with and as a part of despatches filed today)
 Very few German soldiers were seen along the front line, giving rise to the belief that plans are under way for the retirement back to their own bor- der.
 The German command will have a difficult task, it is believed, to ac- complish this in time, because since the Americans have cut the Mezieres- l Longuyon line at Sedan, the Germans have but one main line over which to return to Germany. This line runs through Liege.
 | The terms of the armistice forbid | American aeroplanes inside the Ger man lines and inasmuch as no prison
 CTS are being taken, it is virtually
 impossible to get any information as
 to the movements of the German
 army.
 The hours since the cessation of
 hostilities have wrought a wonderful
 change in the front. Silence prevails.
 Ambulances are parked along the
 roads. Laughing troops of American
 and French soldiers are rejoicing over
 their success. It is taken for granted
 that the war cannot start going again. Only one thing stands before it. the work of the German prisoners
 who are reparing the damage German guns and mines have done to the roads of France.
 The celebrations over the signing ot the arnistice in the towns in this part
 of France continue with unabated joy The villages are illuminated for the
 first time in four years.

SUMMARY OF IMP ORTANT CHANGES
 AND ANIENDNAE NTS IN ARMISTICE

and Brest-Litovsk are nullifed.
 Article 16-Providing free access for the allies into territory evacuated through the German eastern frontier, is charged so as to declare such ac-
 cess is for the purpose of conveying supplies to the populations "and for the purpose of maintaining order," l instead of "or for any other pur- pose"
 Article 17-OriginaIly providing for the unconditional equalization,
 within one month of all German forces operating in East Africa. is substituted by clause requiring
 only ''evacuaton by all German forces i operating in East Africa within 8 i period to be fixed by the allies" | Article 18-Providing for the re-
 patriation of all civilians belonging to the allies or associated powers other ] than those enumerated in Article ,, 1 is amended to eliminate a reservation 1 that any future claims or demands by the allies and the United States shall remain unaffected.
 Article 22-Providing for the sur
 render of 16O German submarines is l changed to read "an submarines now existing" with the added stipulation | that those which cannot take these (take the seal shall be disarmed of
 the material and personnel and shall remain under the supervision of the allies and the United States"
 Further provisions are added re-
 quiring that all the conditions of the
 article shall be carried into effect within II days; that submarines | ready for sea shall be prepared to leave German ports immediately upon orders by wireless, and the remainder at the earliest possible moment.
 Article 23-Providing for the dis position of German surface warships
 has additional clauses requiring that
 vessels designated for internment,
 shall bc ready to leave German ports within seven days upon directions by
 wireless and that the military arma- ment of all vessels of the auxiuary fleet shall be put on shore.
 Article 26-Providing that the al- lied blockade remains unchanged has this sentence added: ''The allies and
 the United States should give consid-
 eration to the provisioning of Ger many during the armistice to the ex- 1 tent recognized as necessary" Article 28-Providing conditions of evacuation of the Belgian coast (from which the Germans actually had been driven before the armistice was sign ed) was changed in minor particulars. Article 34-Providing that the dur ation of the armistice shall be thirty days, and that if it's clauses are not
 carried into execution, it may be re- nounced upon 48 hours warning, has the following added:
 Ut is understood that the execu- tion of articles of three and eighteen shall not warrant the denunc .atton of the armistice on the ground of insuf- fcient execution within a period fixed
 except in the case of bad faith in carrying them into execution. In or der to assure the execution of this convention under the best conditions the plan of a permanent international armist' commission is admitted. This commission shall act under the au- thority of the allied military and naval commander in chief"

Germany is lnS1Stent in its demands that the peace conference he held at once. Dr. W. s. Solf, the foreign sec retary, says that only an early settle ment of the questions arising out of the cessation of hostiIities can save the German people from famine
 In the interim, however, the Ger mans are deprived of even civil ad- ministration in the Rhineland region which will be taken over by the AL iles until the final adjustment of the results of the conflict Allied and United States military authorities will govern country from which Germany agreed to withdraw her defeated le- gions. This new supplement to the arnaistice agreement, it is announced, is accompanied by the surrender oy Germany of all her submarines. Un- der the original armistice agreement only 16O U-boats will be turned over to the Allies.
 The grim spectre of Bolshevis1n has appeared out of the turmoil of revo
 lution in Germany, and has received
 recognition at Berlin. This woul( seem to indicate that the true social ist movement has taken a new turn
 the strength of which is so great tha 1t cannot be ignored. Up till a short
 time ago the BoIshevist element wa so small in Germany that it appeared to be negligible.
 To guard against disorders in Rus sian provinces occupied by German
 troops, the Allies have agreed tha
