Italian ENJOY and
Col. House Discuss
Peace Problems

PARIS, Nov. 16 (By The Associated
Press).-Raron Sonnino, the Italian
Foreign Minister, had luncheon day
with Colonel f. M. House, and, while
the meeting was largely social, some
CT the preliminaries to the Inter-Allied
conference and the peace congress were
discussed.
Italian Premier Orlando is detained
in Italy by the illness of his wife. and
\ the British electoral campaign is large
ly occupying the time of the British
leaders, but the promptness Of tele-
graphic exchange between the capitals
permits the adjustment of many de-
tails without the need of personal con-
tact
In Touch With Wilson
Official exchanges with Washington
also are so prompt that Colonel House
is able to communicate with President
Wilson at the White House within ten
minutes.
The conferences and exchanges will
be suspended Sunday. Colonel House
will take a long automobile tour over
the Marine battlefield and will visit
Chateau Therry.
1T is believed that the informal ex-
changes will continue until the latter
part of November, before the Inter
Allied conference reassembles formal
ly. The voting in the British electoral
campaign until December % may defer
the peace congress beyond that time
Are Expecting Wilson
A semotficial note declaring that
some countries had chosen their peace
ipotentiaries has led to much com
ment on the personnel of the delega-
tons, but no announcements have beer
made, although it is generally acceptec
in Paris that President Wilson anc

LONDON Nov. 16.-Dr. Solf, the
German Foreign Secretary, according
to. a German wireless message, has
sent to Secretary Lansing a note re-
ferring to the article in the Anglo
Turkish armistce requiring German
civilians to leave the Turkish EN-
pire Immediately and declaring that a
literal fulfilment of the article must
cause severe hardships especially to
poor people and appears unreasonable
after the conclusion of universal ar
mistice."
The German Foreign Secretary adds
that German hospitals and asylums for
the blind and orphans--the orphan asy-
lums caring principally for Armenian
children-will be compelled to close
thus causing new suffering among the
Christian population" The German
government, Dr. Solf adds, requests that
President Wilson intervene in favor of
these German civilians being permitted
to remain in Turkey.
The note of the German Foreign Of
flee concerning the repatriation of Ger
man civilians in Turkey is similar to
an unsigned communication received in
Washington Thursday from Vienna, in
which the Austrian government asked
President Wilson to use his good Of
fees to permit former Austro- Hunga-
rian subjects to remain in the Ottoman
Empire.

$50 Reported Lost
AS German Cruiser
Is Sunk by Reds

BERNIE, Nov 16.-The German war
ship Wiesbaden refused to surrender
to the revolutionists and tried to es-
cape to neutral waters. 1t was pur-
sued and torpedoed by revolutionary
battleships, and the entire crew of $50
men, including many cadets, persisted,
according to the "Lokal-Anzeiger" Of
Berlin.
BASEL, Nov. l6-The new German
government has addressed an appeal to
the submarine crews explaining that it
is indispensable that the armistice con-
ditions be Garfield out rapidly.
Guarantees, it is stated, will be given
that the crews will be repatriated af-
ter their arrival in England and will
be discharged as soon as they return to
Germany.
COPENHAGEN, Nov. 16.-The semi
official Wolff Bureau of Berlin denies
that the German training ship Schle-
sien has been torpedoed.
The Wiesbaden was supposed to have
been sunk during the Jutland battle
May 31-June 1, 1916. She was a light
cruiser of 4,900 tons and was built in
1914.
A dispatch from Amsterdam dated
Tuesday quoted the "Weser Zeitung"
as saying the Schlesien had been tor
pedoed by revolutionary warships. Pre-
viously it had been reported that the
warship had fled from Kiel when the
sailors revolt broke out there

an undue share in the winning OF the
war and an unfair preponderance OF
authority at the peace table; that IN
two newspapers which aspire to be
considered as part of the metropolitan
press of the country an article was
recently published and given wide cir,
culation which was well calculated
whether intended or nad, to create
dissensions and jealousies amongst
the allied nations and to encourage
the belief in France and Italy espe-
cially that the unwarranted and men
dacious story reflecting upon the arm
les of France and Italy and upon the
great generalissimo of this war, Ferd-
inland Foch, marshal of France, arous-
ed no proper spirit of resentment but
was accepted by our people, as verac-
ious and worthy of credence.
Pro-Gcrman Propaganda.
Let us not forget that prior to our
entry into the war and even after
wards, so far as it could be safely
done without fear of punishment an
active propaganda was maintained to
foster and keep alive a hatred of the
BRitish people, which though original
ly not well founded had been dis
seminated for more than century in
the minds of the youth of our country
by patriotic and well intentioned peo-
Pile who never in the past took the
trouble to analyze and understand
the underlying causes which led to the
separation of the colonies from the
mother country and the war for in
dependence, and that professional ag-
itators processing and doubtless be-
lieving that they are friends of Ire
land, but Who are in fact her worst
enemies, have for generations. in sea-
son and out of season, done everY-
thing in their power to fan the fires
of this unfounded hatred into con-
tinuops action. Rejecting upon this
condition we should be admonished
that every thoughtful American must
feel bound to hold his tongue under
bond for its GOOD behavior. at least
until the problems of peace, infinite
ly more complicated and more diff
cult than those of war are solved ana
the danger of division and disscn-
sion OF the forces of democracy at the
peace table shah have passed. | think
you will agree with me in tho state
ment that every desire for oratOrical
effect, every attempt to arouse cnthu-
siasm and thrill his audience should
be submerged and subordinated to his
sense of Responsibility by every man,

preston to the feeling of the Ameri-

Language Must Be Tempered.
The temptation to self-indulgence
is strong and it would be easy to be-
lieve that nothing which | might say

UNJUST TO CLERICAL FORCE.

Instead of critic2ing the director
general of railroads for raising the
wages and salaries of employees in the
shops and yards here. the Journal has
commended it, The Journal has been
able 10 get figures a little more ac-
curato than those given some weeks
ago. The increase has been much
larger than we imagined, when COM
pared with those paid in 1915.
For supervisory work, the increase
amounts to 80 per cent; for mechanics
about 10 per cent for machinists
helpers and other cheaper labor the
increase is about 10 per cent, and
not too high at that; for common
Iaborers wages have been advanced
l25 per cent.
But there is one class of work that
has not had Justice The clerical
force has had an advance of only
As per cent.
In view of the facts that living eX-
penses since 1915 have about doubled
and that railroad clerical forces are
never well paid, the injustice is be-
yond question.

NEW MEXICO's PROBLEM.

The government at Washington has
informed tho various states that each
community is expected to take care
of the returning soldiers and war
workers While this does not consti-
tute such problem for New Mexico
as it does for the BIC centers of in
dusty, slll 1t means that within the
next few months the city of Albu-
querque and vicinity must absorb APP
pr0ximately two thousand men.
Many of these men will return to
the farms or to business in which they
are Immediately interested, but a
large percentage of them viii come
back to find their jobs filled by men

cause building material is 50 high

present 1t will be some months be-
fore farm and garden work will need
hands.
Every soldier will be discharged and

This is a matter for the best

problem really belongs to the federal
government, but the administration

WHAT WILSON MAY DO.

Practically the entire press of the
United States-democratic as well as
republican - have expressed disap-
prevail of the visit of President Will
son to the peace conference. In this
disapproval the Journal has not join
ed, for the simple reason that it be-
lieves questions may arise between
European powers in the solving of
which the presidents voice may be
vital,
For example, there are undoubted
conflicts of interests between Italy
and Greece. between Serbia and
Greece and between Rumania and
Greece, which will require delicate
handling. Already the C2echo-Slo-
walks have expressed grave opposition
to Italy's claim to practically all OF the
east coast of the Adriatic sea.
While he would act without the
slightest intimaton of saber-rattling,
beyond doubt President Wilson'S opn-
ions on these Balkan problems would
have great weight in the conference,
largely because it would be known
from the beginning that this country
has no FAX to grind"
Also when the Turk finds no shred
of sympathy from America at the
conference, the demands of the allies
regarding the disintegration of the
Ottoman empire will be complied with
without protest.
Turkey should be compelled to pay
an enormous Indemnity to the Arme-
MAN people as some compensation for
the ruin wrought in that country by
the Turkish Huns

from one of the southern states, asks
Hhe Journal for proof that southern
congressman who controlled war Leg
islation were guilty of shifting from

support Of the war
The Journal has complied. The
communication by Mr. Simmons is

asked by him are appended They
are taken from official publications
Of the present administration, there

tute what is commonly called the

Yet the state of Ohio paid in taxes

words, the revenue bills were SO ,pg-
gled that sixteen billion aollarS OF
wealth in eleven southern states WAS

Add Oklahoma to the solid south
and the combined wealth of these
states is about fifteen billion dollars
