It is generally agreed now that the
world peace conference will meet some
where in Europe, probably in Yer
sailles. Whether or not President VIII
son will attend IS not settled. 1t has
been suggested that he be present at
the opening and then return home to
attend to the vastly important domes-
tic problems that must. be solved. Pos
sibly Americas representatives at the
peace board will include Secretary Lam
sing, Colonel House, Elihu Root and
Justice Louis Brandeis. The. proceed
ings Of the conference are sure to be
protracted, and well informed CORE
spOndents are amusing themselves and
their readers by specializing on the
conclusions that 1t will reach. Briefly,
they predict that Germany will be COM
PEELED to restore Alsace-Lorraine to
France; that Luxembourg will be united
to Belgium that Poland will receive
large additions, including part of Prus-
STA with an outlet to the sea, and parts
of Austria that Serbia will get Bosnia
and Herzegovina that Italy will re-
ceive the Trentino, Trieste and most Of
Dalmatia; that a plebiscite may be
taken to determine the desires Of the
Croats and %Slovenes; that Ukrainia
may get part of Galicia !; that England
is to have Mesopotamia and France
will take Syria, and that Palestine
Will become an Independent state.
Among the many difficult things to be
settled are the conflicting claims of
Italy, Serbia and Greece; the status
of the Arabs and of Armenia !; the dis
position of Constantinople and the
coast of Asia Minor, and the reduction
Of Bulgaria to the weakest of the
Balkan states.
1t is expected that the peace confer
ence will open in the latter part Of
December, after the English parlia-
mentary elections, and already the
representatives of all the small ma
tionalities with grievances are gather
ing in Paris. Many Of the questions, it
is understood, will be settled in adj
n by the entente powers and the
United States.
Turkey Is awaiting in dread the rep
aration demands of the allies. Al
ready the allied feet has passed
through the Dardanelles and dropped
anchor off Constantinople. The men
now in control in Turkey have accused
Talaat Pasha, former grand vizier;
Enver Pasha, former minister Of war,
and Djemel Pasha, former minister of
marine, Of embezzlement and other
crimes, and those worthless have fed
from the capital.
Before the ink was dry on the armf-
stice agreement America began turn
ing to the problem Of getting back to a
peace footing. Its solution will require
the best work Of our wisest minds.
The rehabilitation of the immense
army will be gradual, and the men will
be returned to civil life in the order

suits and with proper regard to the
ability of industries to absorb them.
The National Association Of Manufac.
turers gives assurance that every man
Will find awaiting him the place he
left when he went into the service, and
there is little doubt that there will be
work for all. Innumerable projects
that were suspended owing to the de-
OF the war will be resumed at
once, and the demand for labor on
these public and private enterprises
will be enormous.
The department Of war put a sud-
den stop to the sending Of drafted men
TO the army camps and notified men
between the ages of thirty-two and
~forty-six to return their missionaries
untitled. The men below twenty-one,
now in the camps may be retained
there for a time, for the training and
possibly to replace some of those who
already have seen service in Europe.
AS for the army ON the other side, it
is likely to be there for a good many
months yet, for there will be a big lob
OF policing to be done. The navy and
Marlnes still are taking recruits. Their
