France, Nov 2o.--Two hundred and
fifteen American soldiers whoN had
been held prisoners of war by the
Germans were brought into the town
of Revigry early this morning.

Washington, Nov. 90
The peace conference at
Versailles, in all probable
ity, will be a short affair
and President Wilson may
remain for the entire SEES
sion. Information to this
effect, reaching the capital
today, intimated that the
allies and the United,
States already had reached
a practical agreement on
the broad principles which
will form the foundation
Of the final treaty.
With the war won, and
only q brief interval before
the fruits Of victory will be
tasted, no grievances or
differences viii be allowed
TO diaupta the program
: which has been mapped
out by this nation and tho
entente governments.
The presidents reasons
for sending Colonel House
to France was not entirely
fulfilled when the armistice
conditions were formulat-
ed at Versailles.
Although the worst was
over, q new and more dan
gerous period came into
being at that time, and
Colonel Houses chief work
since then has been to act
as the intermediary be-
tween the president and
the heads ST the allied ma
tions in the exchange Of
views that have been going
on as a necessary prelude
to the conference.
It is in the interest Of
harmony that the presi-
dent is going abroad, for
he realizes how fearful
would be a quarrel among
friends at this particular
time. Developments up h
the present time have been
so satisfactory as to indi-
cate "all is well" as far q
the future is concerned.

Washington, Nov 20--Congrat-

tions received by the United
States following the signing of
the armistice terms were made
public today by Secretary Lam
sing. They follow:

Says Baruch.

Washington, Nov. co.--Speculation
which has been rife since the signing
of the armistice as to what govern
ment agency shall be entrusted with
a continuation of the work OF war in
dustries hoard was at least partially
set at rest tonight by B. NJ Baruch.
chairman OF the board. In the course
of an announcement OF new rules OF
restrictions upon industry, he stated
that the department of commerce, or
some such permanent government
agency. should continue the boards
work of industrial conservation.
The transfer OF the food admins
tration's functions to the department
of Agriculture also lends color to the
belief that it is planned to forestall
attempts TO create new governmental
machinery to handle reconstruction
work and problems.
Existing war boards are to be con-
tinued, with reSlction OF force and
functions as occasion demands. until
their legal expiration. and their work
absorbed into the most appropriate
permanent government departments,
ii Is Indicated.
Such a plan. it is pointed out. is the
simple and natural way to carry on
the work without interruption. or the
creation NJ untried and uncertain
agencies having no experience they
would assume.
The department of commerce is the
only permanent government agency
in which the work OF the war indus
tries board would naturally fit. it il
continued. That department has kept
in close touch with industry through
its bureaus OF census and foreign and
domestic commerce. An extension of
this work, to assume the work de-
veloped by the board would be en-.
tirely natural and easy of execution.

of the republican-controllcd con-

This is the Interpretation which
senators and representatives place
upon the action of the president in
summoning five democratic senators
to the White House last night to talk
over congressional matters. While
none OF the senators who were in the
conference will speak with definite
ness regarding the presidents pro-
gram, ii Is generally understood that
the senators were urged by the presi-
dent to hasten the legislative business
in both houses in the short session
from December , TO March 4. If this
could be done, the president would
be able to conduct the business of the
nation without the help OF congress
until December of next year.
1t Is expected that congress will be
asked at the short session to rush
through whatever reconstruction
measures may be necessary, so that
