WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Con-

all of its own, when it convenes to or

First rumblings of progressives IN

Eollette,) Johnson, of California and
McNary, of Oregon
Capper, of Kansas, is expected to
line up with this group.
This group privately admits it is
preparing to demand recognition and
ample representation on those com

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-The
United States and the allies will see
to 1t that rolling stock provisions Of
the armistice do not work an undue
hardship on Germany, provided that
nation does It's utmost to maintain
order.
This, unofficially, is the government
attitude toward the German women's
wireless appeal to Mrs. Woodrow Will
son and to Miss Jane Adams, of Hull
House, Chicago, received by the war
department overnight. The appeal
declared that German women had
been starving for years, and would
now die from hunger "by millions"
if the associated governments did
not relax the stipulations as to
seizure of railway material.
1t was indicated here that the
governments have no intention Of
modifying the armistice terms. But
at the same time there were indica-
tions that the rolling stock seized
could be placed to aid the Germans

ion.
The United states for some months
has been congregating it's suggest
ions through Colonel House and his
aides. A careful study has been made
with respect to peace adjustments
needed in the near east where new ma
tions have risen out of long oppress-
ion. Safeguarding of these troops will
be one of the chief problems to be
considered. The state department is
maintaining a cautious silence ON the
subject Of the conference. It has done
nothing yet with respect to the Ger
man wireless appeal Tor an carry con-
ference and disposition appears to be
not to hasten matters until Germany
appears more stabilized than at pres
ent.
However, 1t seems likely from press
dispatches that constitutional changes
are in effect in Germany now and that
steps are under way for forming a
stable government
| The main question Is whether any
particular government will stand at
i this time with unrest and revolution
underlying the whole Teuton situa,
| tion.
! More than twenty five nations have
a right to places at the peace table as
belligerents against Germany. These
countries will not have equal voice in
the session, even though technically
entitled to it. Instead, France, Brit
ain and the United States and Italy
will have the main power. Belgium s
claims will be carefully followed as
will the claims of the Balkan nations.
