PRES. WILSON 5 WAR TO PEACE PLANS INCLUDE EMINENT ME N
k equires Specialists On Commission - Opposes Congressional Committee
 To Urge Small Body Of Efficient Men Spurred On By National Commer- clal Org ions
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-President Wilson has under consideration the appointment of a reconstruction com mission to develop a comprehensive program for the nations conversion from war to a peace basis The commission would be advisory rather than executive in functions and the plans developed and co-ordinated by it would be carried out by existing gov ernment departments and agencies.
 As now considered the commission would be representative of commercial, industrial, labor. agricultural and so- cial interests; its membership would be small and it would deal with all phases of the great problem of easing the country from war to peace
 To Demand Specialists.
 The president is understood to op- pose the plan of a congressional com mittee preparing a reconstruction pro- gram. He is said to prefer men who can give their entire time to the work and who have made special studies of economic and social problems. The president is said now to be considering what emergency legislation may be necessary, before the government can proceed systematically to turn all re- sources of the country to peace time production.
 How to shut off further war pro- duction without closing plants, throw ing men out of work and causing financial strain, is the most immediate reconstruction problem facing the government. Hundreds of telegrams of inquiry reaching government de- partments today disclosed anxiety of business men over this question and offered many suggestions. As a clear ing house for such suggestions, the reconstruction commission would act. Establishment of such d board was recommended to President Wilson by Professor O. NJ. w. Sprague, an econo- mist of Harvard who has conducted

Although their ranks were thinned hv illness. the workers for the United War Work campaign drive in Maricopa county are going steadily on with the work. Only about half of the county 1uota has been raised, although several other counties have already raised their full quotas.
 The women workers in the residence districts. under the leadership of Mrs. r. w. Lewis are turning in over S1,00O daily. but big sums are needed. Some subscribers are cheerfully doubling their subscriptions and offering to work to secure other subscriptions.
 Glendale, Madison, Liberty, Buckeye and Enterprise have already gone over the top. Mesa is handicapped by the illness of it's chairman, O. S. Stapley, and several of his workers, but the re- maining workers, with fine spirit Of service, declare that Mesa and the ad- joining districts will reach their quotas before the gong sounds.
 Buckeye Best Record
 The entire Buckeye valley has the host district record 10 date, averaging over 100 per cent for all the school districts and with a star record of 9S per cent collected in cash.
 The Baby Hut where Mrs. Donald Dunbar and the members of the Flying Squadron are in charge. picks up many dollars daily from generous passers-b by, and is looking for a star record in the next few days.
 Harry Herz. the newsboy. came across checrfully yesterday with a sub script,on of s25. and many workmen yesterday contributed two days pay following the example set by the rail- road employees in Pima county.
 County Chairman Heard of the Unied War Work campaign, said last evening:
 Spirit of Service
 The workers are giving themselves 10 the cause of raising the money for our boys with a really wonderful spirit of service. The work of the women workers is inspiring, and even with the tremendous task ahead oS us I still be- liove that if the gifts ace made in q generous and liberal spirit Maricopa county will still go over the top all though tonight we only have little more than half the money raised and the only really large subscription we could count on, that of the Standard Oil company, is already in.
 "I now have l6 members in the $500 or more club, and hope to locate at least ten more members before the cam paign closes next Monday.

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 13.-(By the Associated Press.) 1.-The Nieuw Rotter- dam Courant publishes the following account of the former German emper- or's entry into Holland:
 At about 6 o'clock Sunday morning nine automobiles carrying armed offi- cers, drew up at the Dutch frontier near Eysden. AeDutch sentry refused to let them pass. He told the party it would have to wait until the customs offices opened at o'clock
 "A member of the group, stepping for ward, announced he was the German kaiser. This had no effect and the Dutch sentry replied the kaiser could not pass until he had orders to that effect from his commanding officer.
 And so the party waited, the former kaiser talking to some peasant on- lockers. At ' o'clock the party went through the formalities of internment.
 While strolling about the Eysdcn station platform, according to another | correspondent, the ex-kaiser talked volubly about his country estates. | farms and horses. He told how he taught the people to save by presenting every child born on his estates with a savings bank book bearing a balance of ten marks. He jestingly remarked to a Dutch captain that captain's was the worst jcb' he knew. He still spoke of l the German army as my soldiers

EXPECT CASUALTIES WILL TOTAL 100000
 LIST NOW |S 71.390
Republican A. p. Leased Wira1

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.-Officials here estimate that the total casualties Of the American eXpeditionary forces in the war will not exceed 100 GOO, includ- ing the men killed in action, wounded, died of wounds, disease, accidents and the missing who never will be ac- counted for. Some of these who have been missing probably will be ac- counted for when the prisoners are re- turned from Germany.
 It was said today that it probably will be several weeks before the record of casualty can be completed. It is re- garded as almost certain that many of the casualties in the recent heavy fighting by the first and second Ameri- can armies, have not yet been reported Lists also must be compiled of un- reported American casualties in British and French hospitals especially from among the United States forces brig aded with allied units. Deaths from wounds also probably will be reported for some time. while lists of slightly wounded being sent by couriers may be delayed.
 Total Casualties 71,390 | The daily lists for several days have consisted of approximately HOO names daily. Secretary Baker has indicated that a considerable number of reported casualties remain to be given out, but that these will be released as rapidly as newspapers can handle them.
 An unofficial tabulation of published casualty lists, including these of No- vember 12 shows grand total of H. 390 men. Careful estimates made to- day based on knowledge of the battle conditions faeed by the first and sec and armies in the days immediately pre- ceding cessation of hostilities, and on the average lists heretofore. lead off cers to believe that all unpublished and unreported casualties will not exceed 30000.
 | Estimates based on previous records fix the total marine casualties in France at less than 5000

STEEL INSTITUTE URGES CONTINUED
 J. 5. SUPERVISION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Continu- ation of government supervision of the steel industry during the period of readjustment to peace conditions was recommended today by the steel committee of the American Iron & Steel institute at it's first meeting with the war industries board since the signing of the armistice.
 Optimism over the industrial and labor outlook. as affecting the steel industry, during the transition from war to peace, marked the conference. The belief was expressed that there should be no abrupt alteration of price or wage levels.
 The chief purpose of the meeting it was announced, was to preserve in dustrial stability and the discussion covered general trade conditions, na- tional and international. After the conferences officials, in explaining the steel committees recommendation for continued supervision by the war in dustries board, Said that if price con trol were abandoned and the price of steel decreased, those who stocked up with raw and semi finished materials at the fixed price could not compete with those who could go into the mar ket with lower prices prevailing. On the other hand. if the price should in crease, manufacturers with stocks on hand would have an advantage. Gov ernment supervision and price control. it was explained, will prevent any such conditions and stabilize the industry until it is on a peace basis.
 This formal joint statement was is sued by Chairman BaruCh of the war industries board. and Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the steel corporation, after the meeting:
 Urge National Supervision.
 ''The discussion followed general lines regarding trade conditions, both of national and international nature and with the main purpose of pre- serving industrial stability.
 The iron and steel institute com mittee. in the course of it's suggestions made emphasis upon the point that a continuation of governmental super vision of industry for the present, was highly desirable It was agreed that many changes in operating conditions of the steel mills will be necessary in the transition from war to a peace basis Some cancellations and adjust ments in var contracts will follow but owing to the removal of many re- strictions imposed on non-war indus tries, and the immediate demands oi such industries, and probable re sumption of federal, state and munici- pal employments, which had beer temporarily suspended, and the de- mands from abroad for foreign con Struction, which are already taking definite shape, it is believed that the transition can be accomplished in ar orderly and systematic way.
 The discussion was entirely in formal, and was characterized chiefly by a spirit of cooperation between the board and the industry that was as strong as that which existed during the war pressure.
 Further information is to be gath cred and collected for the use of the war industries board for it's further conferences with this and other indus ! tries"
