PRESIDENT WILSON
 MAY NOT ATTEND PEACE CONFERENCE
Advisers Do Not Want Him
 to Take Needless Risk.

Washington, Nov. 13.-President Wilson was said today to have given no indication as to how he regards the suggestion from high sources in Flu rope that he attend the great confer. ence which is to re-establish the peace of war-torn world.
 Most of te Presidents advisers, however. are understood to consider that acceptance of the invitations would involve needless risk and would serve no purpose that could not be accofplished through the delegates who will be appointed to represent the American government and who will be in constant communication with Wash ington.
 Should the President decide to at- tend the conference-and some ot those usually we'll informed say he has an open mind on the subject-that fact would not mean, in the belief here, that Secretary Lansing would not be a member of the American delegation It was said that upon MT. Lansing, would fall much of the weight of the heavy tasks connected with American participation In the conference not only by virtue of ms high rank but also because of his wide experience in other international conferences and arbitrations.
 The proposal of Dr. Solf the Ger man foreign secretary, for prelim- mary peace conference has not reach ed Washington in official form to- night. but it is understood that there is little probability of it's acceptance. Such conference is regarded here as unnecessary, and as likely to use- lessly complicate the work ot the gen eral conference when it is held.
 Ostensibly Dr. Solf's proposal IS based upon the urgent need ot ter many for food and other supplies, put it is pointed out that these conditions will be dealt with by the United States and the allies in advance oi he peace conference under the general pledges contained in the armlstlce and givnn by the supreme war coun- cil at Versailles. :. Further assurance on this subject IS given the German government by Sec retarv aLnsing, who m note hadeo today to the Swiss Minister in reply to one from Fredrich Ebert, the Ger man chancellor, said the president Is ready to consider favorably the sup. plying of foodstuffs to Germany ahe l to take up the matter with the a,,iei governments upon assurances ch:. public order will be maintained II Germany and an equitable dlstrleu tion of the food is guaranteed.
 In some quarters here, it is suspect
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-11-14

ed that Dr. Solfs real purpose is to have the preliminary conference dis pose of political matters, such as the future of the German colonies, and trade relations between the Central powers and the Nations with which they had been at war, in the hope of being able thus speedily to re-estab- fish German foreign trade.
 All of the old treaties of amity and commerce under which international trade has been conducted between the warning nations automatically have been destroyed by the war and it will be necessary to provide a whole new fabric of trade treaties.
 The peace conference may signify it's own ideas as to how these shall be framed, but it will remain for the individual nations to give these ideas concrete form in special treaties.
 The supreme war council in Versail- les did more than consider the sub ject of armistice and it is now learn ed that for long time preceding the final collapse of the central powers much study and attention was given the subject of final peace in all of it's ramifications. Therefore, when the peace conference meets it will find be- ore it fairly we'll digested program for the conduct of it's business, calcu- lated to keep the sessions we'll within bounds not only in the matter of ex- penditure of time, but also in the range of subjects to be discussed.

MERE ROUTING
 DUTY IN FRANCE:
Americans Are Arresting Germans Who Approach
 Their Lines.

With the American Armies on The Mouse and Moselle Nov. 13. So far as known at the American army head quarters, no disposition has been ris- played to block at any point that part of the agreement providing for the withdrawal of the German troops. It is realized that the reversing of the Gears tof the great broken German machine will not be simple.
 There would have been no surprise among the American officers had the German front remained almost un- changed, but already there appears to have been left immediately in front of the Americans little more than a fringe of soldiers. In some places even that line has been withdrawn so far that the army men on this side do not know it's location.
 The Germans reluctantly abandoned their efforts to continue fraterniza- tion where the lines still were in proximity, but threats to hold as pris- oners any one approaching the Ameri- can lines practically stopped their visits.
 Behind the American line the activ- ity of the supply trains continued to- day aid the troops mobilized, at the

work of the German prisoners. By thousands they are repairing the damage German guns and mines have done to the roads of France.
 They asked: "What will become of the army now? What part will Ameri- cans take as an army of occupation When will be start for homer
 Along the front there was an ab- sence of Germans today. Hundreds came to the American lines yester- day afternoon to exchange greetings but according to reports most of them have started for home.
 Nothing official as to further move ments has been learned.

front settled down to routine duty There was an increasing of leaves of obsence, however.
 Germany's army was moving slow ly along the whole front toward the rear today.
 The American forces remain exact ly. where they were when the armis- tice went into effect
 The marching columns of troops going into battle have been replacing by laughing groups of Americans and French soldiers rejoicing over the success of their great efforts. Every one seems to take it for granted that the war cannot start going again. On- ly one thing goes on as it did. the
