Fuel Price Limit
On Bituminous
Coal May Go

WASHINGTON, Nov. So
Price restrictions on bituminouS
coal may be removed by the fuel
administration within two weeks.
Fuel Administrator Garfield said
today he hoped to cancel the
price regulations not later than
the middle of December.
Present prices as fixed by the fuel
range from s2.S5 to
$4.95 a ton at the mines.
DR.. Garfield said it may be pos
sible to abandon the zone system
of distribution of bituminOus coal
by the middle Of December. but that
action 10 this end will be taken only
after consultation with the railroad
administration.
The fuel administrator said he
could not take his hands off, the
anthracite situation until winter is
over. This was taken TO mean that
the government will continue its
control over anthracite coal until
the end Of the coal year, April 1,
and that the fuel administration will
continue to function until that time.

general understanding here is that
present plans are TO have the con-
ference first agree 10 the board prin-
ciples of the treaty and leave the
working out Of details 10 further
sittngs.
This would enable the president
TO return 10 the Capitols OF their re-
spective countries so as 10 give their
personal attention 20 affairs of state.
Secretary Lansing. who heads the
delega ton proper. became secretary
Of state in June, 1915. when Will
lam Jennings Bryan resigned rather
than sign a note 10 Germany in the
Lusitania case which he thought
might lead TO war During the three
and a half years that have followed
Mr.. Lansing has conducted many
difficult negotiations for the country
as a neutral and as a belligerent. and
his name appears on all the historic
documents telling the story Of Amer
ica's entry into the war as we'll as
those answering Germany's peace
pleas. which preceded the downfall
OF the central alliance At the time
Of his appointment he was counsel
Tor OF the state department, after a
career as an international lawyer.
which has established his reputation
as one OF the foremost American
authorities on this subject.
White Well known Diplomat.

delegation. is a diplomat of long
oNyvorforca ,vT,o bago,, ne eoc-ot. -,
Of the American legation in Vienna
in 1884 He served as secretary of
embassy at various capitals, repre-
scented the United States at several
great international gatherings and in
1905 was appointed ambassador to
Italy by President Roosevelt Two
years later he was made ambassa-
dor TO France. where he remained
until 1909 His last public service
was in 1910 when President Taft
sent him TO Chile as special ambas-
sador Of the United States for the
celebration of the centenary of
Chilean independence.
Never I'm Public Office.
Col. House has never held public
Office. but as Pres't Wilson's person
al friend and adviser he is credited
generally as having played a greater
part in the present administration
than any other man except the pres
ident himself. He has been called
into consultation at every crisis. and
after going TO Europe in 1914, 1915
and 1916 as the presidents personal
representative TO European govern
ments, he was commissioned TO
gather and organize data TO be used
whenever the time for a peace con-
ference might come. He fastened
to Europe when II became apparent
that Germany was crumbling and
was in France 10 speak for the pres
ident in conference with the heads
of the allied governments when the
terms of the armistice and the basis
for peace discussions were deter
mined.

South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1918-11-30

This announcement was made
last night at the white house. In
the absence of any official ex-
PLANTATION it was assumed that
the president goes as president
of the United States. and that
Secretary Lansing, Mr.. White
and Col. House, and possibly
also Gen. Bliss will be delegates
with ambaSsadorial rank.
1t was recalled that the presi-
dents announcement that he would
go TO France for the purpose of
taking part in the discussion and
settlement OF the main features Of
the treaty Of peace" said that it was
not likely that he would remain
throughout the sessions of the peace
conference and that he would be
accompanied by delegates who will
sit as the representatives Of the
United States throughout the con-
ference"
White House Announcement.
The white house announcement
last night follows:
ct was announced at the execu-
tives offices last night that the repre-
sentatives OF the United States at
the peace conference would be:
The president himself the sec
rotary of state. the Hon. Henry
White. recently ambassador to
France. Mr. Edward NJ. House and
Gen. Tasker II. Bliss.
1T was explained that IL had not
been possible to announce these ap-
pOintments before because the num-
Der of representatives each of the
chief belligerents was to send had
until a day or two ago been under
discussion"
Bliss Appointment, Surprise.
While house officials would add
nothing TO the formal statement.
and no one protesting to be in the
confidence OF the president would
talk. There was only one surprise
in the statement-the appearance Of
the name of Gen. Bliss as one of
the representatives. 1t had been
taken for granted that the general
military representative Of the
united states on the supreme W.T.
council would take part I'm the dis
cussion at Versailles but the gen
eral idea had been he would be at
tached TO the delegation in a mill
tary capacity just as Admiral Ben
son probably will be present as
spokesman for the navy in the great
naval problems 20 be solved.
Only yesterday callers at the
white house gained the distinct i'm
preston that there would be but
three accredited delegates Of full
rank. II was suggested last night that
the name of Gen. Bliss probably was
added at the last moment upon re
ceipt Of information that the allied
powers would include a military
man among their representation.
Premiers 10 Attend.
The premiers of Great Britain,
France and Italy are expected to at
tend the peace conference as repre-
senta tives OF their governments, but
like the president may not remain
throughout the conferences. The

nently assigned as the American mil

American military representative at
the peace conference ne will be as
sisted by staff OF officers. most OF
whom in the understanding here
will come from the general staff Of
the American expeditionary forces.
Admiral Benson has made several
trips to Europe since the United
States entered the war and went 20
Paris with Col House last month
as the representative of the United

council.
Root and Brandeis.
There is discussion, but no official
explanation of why two OF the names
most generally mentioned in the
early speculation as TO the probable
personnel Of the peace delegation do
not appear on the list. Elihu Root,
former secretary of state and Louis
Brandies, associate justice Of the SUI
preme court, were considered in well
informed quarters almost certain TO
be chosen. Recently it has been said
that Mr. Root did not care to un-
dertake the mission and that Justice
Brandies would not be able to leave
the country because of his work in
the court.
No further announcement of the
presidents plans was made tonight
He expects 10 sail the day after he
addresses the new session of con-
gress, and the address probably will
be delivered either Monday or Tues
day. On his ship the transport
George Washington will go the
peace delegation and its army Of
experts and clerical assistants.
In order to avoid confusion and
to save trouble, the war trade
board tonight issued a blanket eX-

all passengers sailing on the George
