REDS AT HOME IN
 RE|CHSTAC PARLORS'

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 13-(By the Associated Press). - Berlin advices dated Sunday are that in it's outward aspects the revolution, as observed in Berlin, is still in a chaotic stage. The reichstag, which is the soldiers and workmen's headquarters, had been converted into an armed camp. Hastily organized and equipped squads of red guards were bivOuacked in the richly carpeted lounging corridors.
 Travel-stained soldiers and sailors slept close to stacked rifles or sat in luxurious arm chairs munching chunks of army bread. Every inch of the floor space of the big gilded dome building was devoted to some phase of the revolutionary organization com mittee. The rooms in which formerly reactionary campaigns were planned were similarly employed.
 There have been no clashes between civilians and red guards. The armed conflicts have been confined to the revolutionary army and officers in concealment, assisted, it is said, by cadets and boy scouts. The new gov ernment strained every nerve to or ganize public utilities, and in this mat ter no complications were anticipated.
 Incoming trains Sunday continued to debark large attachments of sol ] diers. sailors and bourgeois. Parlia- mentary leaders were still absent.

ALLIES PREPARING
 PRODUCTIONS PLANS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Measures to promote close agricultural cooper ation between the United States, Eng land. France, Italy and Belgium, during peace reconstruction, are under consid- eration by these nations. To work out effective plans, an international con- gress of agricultural leaders, inciud- ing belligerent and neutral nations, may be held with the peace conference.
 The general idea under discussion contemplates assigning to each country or geographical district, specializing in particular kind of food production in which 1t can do best. and to elimi- nate the theory that each nation should be self supporting for production of all the food or other agricultural materials it needs. This would be similar to the international pooling of industrial fla cllities and raw materials supply.
 Regardless of the success of this pro- posed plan. it is certain that tre- mendous assistance will be needed from the United States immediately for agricultural reconstruction of Belgium and northern France.
 President Wilson, Food Adminis- trator Hoover and Secretary Houston now 'have these questions under con- Sideration.
Arizona republican., 1918-11-14

although neither President Wilson nor Secretary Baker is now committed to universal training as a national policy. In his last annual report MT. Baker said it was not a question that should be decided while the country was at war.
 Efficient Men to be Kept
 Demobilization of the existing offi- cers corps, both line and staff, forms a separate element of the present prob- lens of the war department. It is cer- tain that efforts will be made to keep men who have shown themselves qualified in such relationship with the government, that their services can be quickly re-secured at need. Pending the completion of plans, resignatiorE are being discouraged.
 Plans for returning officers to their civilian status are expected to provide for army reserve officers corps similar to that used in building up the present army. Similarly it is regarded as prob able that steps toward the organization of an ample enlisted reserve will be taken. The form of the reserve, how ever, whether by vountary obligation Nor by order, will depend upon the military policy to be adopted.
Arizona republican., 1918-11-14

United States entered the war, outlined the general scheme which is likely to be again advocated. modified in the light of war experience and the results of the operation of the selective draft system.
 Training Future Essential
 At this time it was planned to con- tinue the garrisons for the Philippines, Hawaii and Panama on a voluntary basis, by selecting hen who elected army life after they had passed through their periods of training. Out side of these overseas forces, however, the staff proposed to remodel the standing army into a strictly training force composed of officers and non commissioned officers who should be developed into experts in getting raw material quickly into shape and through whose hands, year after year, should pass the classes called to the colors for training.
 Both the commissioned and non commissioned ranks of this training force, it was planned, should be re- cruited from men who displayed abil- ity during their training. There is reason to expect that some similar project will again be brought forward

WAR BOARD ANNULS
 MORE RESTRICTIONS
TRepubIlcan A. P. leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Nov 13.-Several more industrial restrictions. imposed to meet the demands of war, are re- scinded by a series of orders issued to- day by the war industries board.
 By agreement with the food admin istration, the war industries board re- moved all restrictions placed on the use of tinplate in the manufacture of tin containers. thereby permitting manufacturers of many products to substitute the former types of tin con- taincrs for those of paper now being used.
 Approval of the war industries board of the sale for road purposes of as- phalt, road binders, road oils, tar bind CTS and dressings was announced by Fuel Administrator Garfield.
 Restrictions soon to be made effec- tive on the manufacture of oil stoves and of packing for hosiery. underwear and knitted goods. were removed Orders Curtailing the production oi soft drinks and mineral waters also were rescinded by the war industries Board, but it was pointed out that food Administration regulations limiting the amount of sugar allotted soft drink manufacturers arc not modified.
 Deferred building projects amount 5ng to more than twenty millions dol Jars. it was estimated today. were re- 9cased by the removal yesterday of re- sStriCtions on non war buildings.

NO ROOM FOR TOURISTS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-There is no place in Europe yet for the sight seer; for the thousands of Americans who have been awaiting the end of the war to rush over and view the battle fields and devastated cities and towns left in the wake of the great contend ing armies.
 The European embassies in Wash ington already are receiving many ap- plications for permission to take pass age for Europe. It was explained to- day that they have been obliged to reply that not only is there still neeC for governmental purposes of all avail able transportation service, but the continued necessity of the strictest conservation of the slender food re sources of Europe forbids the entry for a long time to come of mere sight seers.

 fications Therefore, when the peace conference meets, it will find before it a fairly well digested program for the conduct of it's business, calculated to keep the sessions well within bounds, not only in the matter of the eXpendi ture of time but also in the range of subjects to be discussed.
 Owing to the number of questions to be considered and the amount of orig inal investigation required to arrange final settlements of many of them, it is expected, that soon after converting, the peace conference will divide the delegates into d number of sub commit tees to deal with different branches of the work, and it is regarded here as certain that it will provide for the ap- pointment of permanent commissions to sit after final adjournment of the con- ference to perform the scores of things that must be done to set the conner cial and economic machinery of the the world at work again.
 A long time, not months, but years, will be required to readjust this ma chinery One high official said today it was a safe rule, based on history, to assume that it will require twice as much time to get out of the war as it did to go through with it.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire


 PEORIA, Ills, Nov. 13-Two men were killed tonight in several explo- slons in the plant of the Western Powder Manufacturing company at Ed wards, Ills, 16 miles northwest of here. Fire which broke out in the factory buildings and spread to adjoining tim Der sent hundreds of inhabitants of Edwards fleeing from the village, in the fear that the great powder maga- zine would explode and destroy the town. One man was reported missing. The danger was later averted. The dead are: Keech Schraeder. Jack Stew art The missing: Chris Frank.
 The shock of the explosion was dis tinctly felt for many miles around and caused the belief in many localities of central Illinois, that the tremors were those of an earthquake.
 At S:45 o'clock the flames were under control and 1t is believed there was little danger, of the magazine explod- ing. Henry Goodwin, first reported dead was found uninjured The bodies of Schraeder and John Stewart were not recovered

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Abolition of the national eight-hour dav and a low ering of war time wage scales are es sential if American mines and factories are to continue to compete in the world of trade, according to William H.

 Declaring the liquidation of labor to be the first and greatest problem which will demand the attention of our industry" MT. Barr counselled facing this problem without resentment or bitterness
 Other speakers urged that the na- tional war board be abolished and that employers and employees be permitted to work out their own deStinies
