The President spoke as follows:
Gentlemen Of the Congress:

PEACE BASIS :
F in al Negotiations
Will Take Time
Probably Several Weeks Before
Gathering Of Council to Determine
Terms to Be Accorded to Central
Powers

Washington, Nov INTERPRETATIONS
for final peace negotiations will en-
gross American and Allied statesmen
during the next few weeks, while
Marshal Foch and the naval COM
mandcrs see to it that the terms of
armistice which ended the fighting
today are carried out. Thirty days is
the armistice period and since it
hardly will be possible to assemble
the greatest peace conference in his
tory within that time. an extension
-practically is certain to be granted by
the victors and accepted by the van
ouished.
What happens in Germany. in what
was once Austria Hungary and in
Russia during the meantime probably
will govern the solution CT many OF
the complex problems awaiting the
conference. Absorbed in the celebra-
ton Of the German surrender the Of
ficials today were unwilling even TO
discuss for publication the next steps
TO be taken to secure the fruits OF
victory and make future wars. at
least on so vast scale. impossible.
But in a general way what is to be
expected already is known. The vari-
Gus utterances OF President Wilson
and by the premers and leaders of
other countries have been carefully
studied by those who anticipate the
steps This is particularly true of
President Wilson's declarations which
represent. not only the ideas of the
American government but from their
almost unusual acceptance by the En-
tente powers may be regarded as al
ready constituting the framework
which can be clothed with the de-
tails necessary TO round out COM
plete fabric OF peace conventions.
This framework in all probability will
be put into final shape by discussions
among the chiefs of the victorious
powers long before the representa-
tives of the vanquished are called in
to accept or plead for modification

Troops That Have Seen Longest

ization Plans Not Vet Fully Ma
tured

Washington. Nov. 11-Signing Of
the armistice with Germany does not
mean that the great American mil
itary machine will cease to operate
at once. America must play an inn
portant part in disarming and
guarding the enemy and until this
work is completed. even the move
ment of troops to France will be
continued, although on greatly re-
duced scale
During the interim between the
cessation of hostilities and the con-
clusion of the peace conference it IS
assumed that the major portion IF
General Pershing's expeditionary
forces in France must be retained
there. 1t is possible also that for
reasons of international politics some
American garrisons may be kept in
disputed territory even after the ac-
tual peace negotiations have been
brought TO a close.
Troops which have seen the longest
service in France probably will be
returned home soon to be replaced
by new men in this Country who will
perform guard or other duty over
seas. More than one million men are
now in camps in the United States.
The question of disseminating the
calling of men to the colors under
the selective service act with the
ending of hostilities has been under
consideration. 1t is known that
General Crowder's advisers favored
cancelling all outstanding calls as
soon as the armistice was signed,
but this matter must be passed on
by the general staff. The movement
Of large number of men to camp
was due to begin this morning under
the November calls which embrace
about 800 600 men.

ROUMANIA BLEEDING.
Huns Ride Roughshod Over PROSTATE
y Former Enemy.


+ Germany sweeping on to new con.
quests in southern Russia, is riding
roughshod over PROSTATE Roumanla
The tentative peace proffers put
forth to the Roumanians have been
ruthlessly "scrapped."
"Germany," read the dispatch, dated
March 10, considers Roumania at its
mercy and is making demands all the
more exorbitant as the original de-
mands are being complied with by
Roumania The frontier agreed upon
is now being extended at the expense
If Roumania."
Originally the terms imposed were
disastrous enough: Rich Dobrudja,
living along the Black Sea, was to be
parceled out to Bulgaria, who has long
waited the price which Germany bid
for her support in the war. Thus all
outlet to the sea was to be shut off
from Roumania. Rich lands to the
north and westward Berlin gfaciously
bestowed on Austria-Hungary, sop
to the Hungarians, grown bitter
against the war.
For Germany, however, there are
bigger gains to be had. Thus it hap
pens, as officials and diplomats IN
Washington interpret this dispatch
that more must be squeezed from
Roumania and a broader pathway
cleared for the German war machine,
headed eastward.
Earlier advices havetold of the big
preparations under way for the Ger
man drive on Odessa, the leading Rus
sian port on the Black Sea. The
State Department has not been adj
yised that the Teutons have got so
far as Bessarabia, but admittedly the
advices received are belated and han
dicapped by rigid censorship, with
which the Germans veil their move
