HIGH EUROPEAN SOURCES SUC-
CEST PRESIDENT WILSON TAKE
PERSONAL PART IN DISCUSSION

Washington, Nov. l3.-President
Wilson was said today to have given
no indication as to how he regards
the suggestions from high sources in
Europe that he attend the great con
ferences which is to re-establish the
peace Of "a war-torn world.
Most of the presidents advisers,
however, are understood that COM
q lance would serve no purpose that
could not be accomplished through the
delegates who will be appointed to rep
resent the American government and
who will he in constant communication
Vxh Washington.
'Jhould the president decide to at
tend the conference, that fact would
not mean, in the belief here. that Sec
retary Lansing would not he mem.
Der of the American delegation. 1t
was SAID that upon Mr.. Lansing would
fall much of the weight of the heavy
tasks connected with American par
ticipation in the conference not only
by virtue of his high rank but also
because of his wide experience in 9TH
er international conferences.
The proposal Of DR.. Solf, the Ger
man foreign secretary, for a prelimi-
nary peace conference had not reached
Washington in official form tonight
but it is understood there is little prob
ability of its acceptance. Such "A con-
ference is regarded here as unneces-
sary and as likely to complicate use
lessly the work of the general confer
ence when it is held.
Ostensibly DR.. Soils proposal is
based upon the urgent need of Ger
many for food and other supplies, but
it is pointed out that these conditions
will be dealt with by the United States
and the allies in advance of the peace
conference under the general pledges
contained in the armistice and given
by the Supreme War Council ut YER
sailles.
Further assurance on this subject
is given the German government 10y
Secretary Lansing who. in n note to-
day handed to the Swiss minister in
TApy to one from Frederick Ebert.
the German chancellor, said the presi-
dent is ready to consider favorably
the supplying of foodstuffs to Ger
many and to take up the matter with
lthe allied governments upon assur-
ances that public order will be main
tanned in Germany and an equitable
distribution of the food is guaranteed.
In some quarters mere it is suspect
ed that DR.. Solf's real purpose is to
have the preliminary conference dis
pose of political matters, such as the
future of the German colonies and
trade relations between the central
powers and the nations with which
they had been at war in the hope of
being able thus speedily to re-establish
German foreign trade.

HELP THOSE WHO DESERVE
IT, THEN HELP GERMANY

Solf, the German foreign secretary,
has appealed to President Wilson for
help for his people. 1t is not clear as
yet just what kind of help is most
pressing; help seems to be needed in
all directions.
The news indicates that while Solf
appeals for aid to save the German
people from starvation, there lies be-
hind that request an appeal that we
save them from utter anarchy.
All this was to have been expected.
The form of the Imperial German gov
ernment was so utterly autocratic; it
rested so completely for direction upon
the "high command" that nothing what
ever was left to popular initiative.
Highly effective as this organization
was il lends itself most easily TO COM
plete disorganization when the su-
preme rule is broken down.
President Wilson has made perfect
y clear what our further duty Is to-
ward Germany. His statement to
Congress in transmitting the terms of
the armistice made plain the scope of
the work we have yet to do. II is a
mighty responsibility. While wa real
ize its size in general way it will be
slow getting under way and cannot be
until revolution has made further pro-
gress in Germany, as it will, and until
hunger and bloodshed run neck and
neck into anarchy, as may result, that
we will understand fully how enor-
nous Is the task we have undertaken,
Bitter as our feelings now are; lit
tie as we relish the job of saving Ger
many from herself, that job must be
done, and America and her great allies
will do it, with the same painstaking
thoroughness exhibited in the greater
job of freeing Germany from auto
cacy.
Celebrations were held Throughout,
the United States Monday. Business
stopped automatically and by univer.

CASUALTY LIST MAY TOTAL
NEARLY 100, ,0t IN FRANCE

Washington, NJ. I3. Officials es-
innate that the total casualties of the
American expsi'ti,nary forces in the
war will not exceed Zoe U0C including
the men killed in action, wounded, died
of wounds, disease and accidents and
the missing who never will be account
ed for Some of those who have been
missing probably will be accounted for
when the prisoners are returned from
Germany.
II is thought that it probably will
be several weeks before the record
Of casualties can be completed. 1t is
regarded as almost certain that many
of the casualties in the recent heavy
fighting by the First and Second Amer
lean armies have not yet been report
ed. Lists also must be compiled of
unreported, American casualties in the
British and French hospitals espec-
tally from among the United States
forces brigaded with allied units. The
deaths from wounds also probably
will be reported for some time while
lists Of slightly wounded being sent
by couriers may be delayed.
The daily lists for several days have
consisted of approximately 100 names

German people that foodstuffs will be
he given of public order and proper
conditions for distribution, while it
may not appeal to US now as some
thing we desire to do, simply stands
out as one of the jobs that must be
done. There is no escape from it, We
would not permit German prisoners to
starye; in fact the alien enemies in
termed in this country during tn, war
have been, if anything, over fed, so
anxious have we been to hew to the
line of fair treatment.
The presidents plan to undertake
systematic distribution of food, as was
done in Belgium, is n matter of course.
If there are starving civilians we must
feed them wherever we can reach them
II follows that we will do the feeding
in as businesslke and systematic a
way as is possible. There is no SEN
timentalism in doing it; no maudin
sympathy for the German people or
for their criminal rulers. We simply
continue to live up to our standards.
In feeding the starving Of Europe
we undertake almost as large n task
as that of whipping the central en-
pires. Hoover's caution to the nation
that we must continue simple living
is no more than common sense, under
the conditions existing and likely to
exist for many months to come in the
worlds food supply.

"NOTES" OF PRESIDENT WILL
son DIVIDED AUSTRIANS

Triest, Nov. Sin this, one of the
former principal gateways to Austria
Hungary, there is much to throw the
light on the causes of the dual mon
archy's surprise and success of the
attack along the Piave front by the
Italians, surprise to military and
civilians.
Complete plans have been found for
occupation by Aurtro- Hungarian for
ces Of Venice, which was frustrated
last June. Plans were also found of
every ware house, factory and store
house in Italy. 1t was no secret that
the invaders expected TO take Italian
territory as far south as Milan as soon
as the order for another offensive was
received.
One big factor in the disintegration
of the empires political fabric was
the diplomatic writings Of President
Wilson before the entry of the United
States into the war. They were wide
ly circulated and the people have said
that Mr.. Wilson's notes and speeches
gave them an understanding of what
n real democracy was like, and en-
couraged their hopes for liberty.

sal, unspoken agreement. Yet as re-
suit of that stoppage, some branches
of very essential business are badly
disorganzed, and in considerable of n
mess.
The Chicago livestock market, for
instance, was shut down and ar en-
barge declared on stock shipments TO
that market until Thursday, so that the
glutted condition caused by the idle
Monday, may be relieved. One single
market affects huge interests all over
this nation.
Our nation is no more highly organ
lied, industrially, than Germany has
been. We know what happens here at
home when livestock markets close.
We know what would happen if the
local railroad shops stopped running
for week and if trains stopped NOV
ing. We would be on short rations, If
not actually hungry,
BY little comparison we can get a
fair idea of what Is the actual condi-
tion throughout Germany, where, on
top of four years of gruelling hard
ship an entire, finely organized indus
trial and business machine has entire
ly shut down--a nation stopped run
ming as by the turning off of an cleo
trio switch.
Knowing what would be happening
here at home should our own great in
dustrial and financial machine shut
down for a day or week, we may
easily summon a considerable sympthy
for the German people, no matter how
much we may dislike them in the light
of their recent past. They are in a
devil of fix.
Because of this situation in Ger
maGy and It's parallel in Austria we
can understand that our work in Eu-
rope is far from finished. Our armies
must stay on the job until not only
peace, but order is restored. That will
mean many months.
We must take as much care of our
soldiers on this duty Of saving Ger

KING GEORGE AND WILSON
EXCHANGE GREETINGS

London, Nov. l3-King George on
the signing of the armistice sent a
message of congratulations to Presi-
dent Wilson and thanks to the people
of the United States for their aid in
the war. President Wilson cabled n
reply of warm appreciation.
The kings message follows:
"At this moment of universal glad
ness | send you, Mr.. President. and
the people of your great republic, a
message of congratulation and deep
thanks in my own name and that-of

United States for the high and Loble
part which you have played in this
ilerious chapter Of history and free
dom"
