WILSON PLANS
PEACE MISSION
Arranges Preliminaries Of
Trip in 2-Hour Session
With Cabinet.

President Wilson in a two-hour ses-
yesterday discussed the preliminary
plans of his trip abroad as the head
of Americas delegation to the peace
conference.
The President. ii was learned, does
not believe that he will experience
any difficulty in directing the affairs
of the country while he is in Europe
During his absence the Cabinet win
meet regularly and he will be kept
constantly advised on everything OF
Importance that transpires here.
No other information was forth
coming from the White House as
to the date of the Presidents de-
parture-save that 1t will be early in
December-or the personnel of the
peace delegation.
Final Choice In Doubt.
1t is believed that the President
may be an actual delegate. and that
after his return to this country he
will be represented at Versailles by
proxy. Col. House. the Presidents
personal advisor. who is now in
France, will serve in this capacity
for him. it is believed. While de-
velopments both here and abroad
make impossible the final choice of
our peace envoys. ii is practically
agreed that the following men will
be among the lot:
Secretary of State Lansing. Secre-
tary OF War Baker, Elihu Root and
Col. House
There remains the possibility,
however, of former President Taft
and Justice Brandeis being number
ed among those present" at the
peace table, and Samuel Gompers.
president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, also has been men
toned.
Invitations Pour In.
Many invitations from cities and
municipalities in France, England
and Italy came to the White House
yesterday. If the President would
ever undertake to visit all the places
that want to see him, and hope to
see him, he would be gone from this
country for a year at least, it is be-
lieved.
Of1cials believe. however, that he
may visit London. Brussels and
Rome-the capitals of three of the
major allies-in addition to Paris,
where he will make his headquar-
ters during the conference. Ar
rangements are now under way in
France to prepare a lavish recep-
tion for him. His ship will be met
by a delegation of French officials,
headed by President Poincare. and
he will be escorted in state to the
Hotel de Vile in Paris

dation of Premier Clemenceau. the
council today voted TO

Sim Feiners
UnUelconne,
Says Dillon

London, Nov. 1s-John Dillon, Irish
Nationalist leader, today made the
following statement:
Il see some Sim Fein leaders are
boasting that they will enter the
peace conference with heads erect.
As a matter of fact. there is not the
slightest chance of representatives OF
Ireland being allowed TO enter the
peace conference.
IF the Sim Fein leaders attempt to
approach the conference in the name
of Ireland. their reception. teeI con-
vinced, will be very painful and also,
to them, of a surprising chara. ter q.

2 Lose LiUes
When Cargo
Ship Burns

The United States cargo ship Ophir
with all her cargo of supplies for the
American Army in France was de-
stroyed by fire in the harbor of Gio-
raltar on November IL. Two mem
bers of the crew were lost. This Of
ficial announcement was made by the
Navy Department last night.
The Ophir was enroute to Mar
seilles. When the fire was discovered
she put back into Gibraltar, but the
flames gained such rapid headway
that it was found impossible to extin-
guish them.
The two engineermen who were lost
were Guy Alton Comstock of Oak

CABLE CONTROL
VITAL TO u. s.,
BURLESON SAYS
Declares Necessity Actual
ed Governments Seiz-
ure of Lines.
ACTION Is PROTESTED
Senator Watson Sees Move
as Plan to Suppress News
of Peace Conference.

Absolute necessity of uninterrupted.
continuous communication for the
government during the period OF re-
adjustment is the reason sscribed by
Postmaster General Burleson yester-
day for the Presidents decision to
take control of the cable systems.
While no reference is made in Mr.
Burleson's formal statement explain
ing the cable order TO the protest
Of Clarence Mackey. head Of the
Postal Cable system. it was init
mated by a high postoffice official
yesterday that a further statement
would be forthcoming in a few days
The cable order is to be made the
subject OF political discussion in
Congress. 1t was also made clear
yesterday when Senator Watson. Of
Indiana, announced that in the SEN
ate on Thursday he would make a
speech in which the subject would
be handled without gloves.
Night Letter. Rates Cut.
In addition TO the official explana-
tion of the cable order Postmaster
General Burleson yesterday also is
sued an order cutting might letter
wire rates: a statement that he
would soon reach a decision in the
wage demand of telegrsphers: in
creased the wire rate standardiza-
tion committee, and ordered excessive
hot al
telephones eliminated
In his statement OF explanation OF
the cable proclamation. the Postmas-
ter General stated:
There never was a time in the
history Of this war for which this
joint resolution WAS passed givinE
the-Presidenr- the right to control tns
wire and cable systems which called
for such close control Of the cable
system as today and will continue
during the period OF readjustment
The absolute necessity OF Uninter,
rupted, continuous communication
should be apparent to all"
The recent breakdown in one OF
the cables and the necessity Of hav-
ing control so that the traffic can be
diverted to any line is also cited.
There are many other reasons for
taking over the cables which have
been suggested by the experience "a
far in government control Of land
lines. but ] only think il necessary
to state the determining factors, "
concludes the statement.

ALL DISTRICTS
PASSED QUOTA
IN LAST LOAN
Richmond, Which Includes
Washington, Second with
1856 Per Cent.
ENEMIES FUNDS USED
Issues of Future Will Prob
ably Be Short Time
Bonds.

The Fourth Liberty Loan was over
subscribed nearly s1.OO0, 100000. The
approximate final figures announced
last night by the Treasury Depart
ment are ss,9S9. SIS. 200. which repre-
sents an oversubscription of 1913 per
cent. An interesting fact revealed
yesterday is that purchases of lib
erty bonds of the Fourth Loan di-
rect from the Treasury Department
amounted to S33329S $50. A good part
OF this sum represents reinvestment
oy the Alien Property Custodian of
FUNDS belonging to enemy aliens.
Every one of the twelve Federal
Reserve districts exceeded its sched-
uled quota. The Boston district, with
an oversubscription of 26.A per cent.
made the best showing. The Rich
mond district. with 1856 per cent
over. was a close second. The Phil
adelphia district, which oversubscrib-
ed its quota oy 1875 per cent, did
better proportionately than New
York. which raised by far the larg-
est amount of money. but had an
oversubscription of only 1883 per
cent.
1t is quite certain that other bond
issues are to follow in order to pro-
vide funds for the rehabilitation OF
troops and the dismsntling of the
country's great war machinery. The
tremendous war organization is not
TO be destroyed. but only reduced to
skeleton proportions pending for
NAL signing of the peace terms and
the formation of a protective league
of nations, but this task will re-
quire money in large amounts, and
these must be provided for.
In answer to Inquiries with re-
spect to probable bond issues Sec
retary McAdoo said:
Not Possible to Estimate.
1T is not yet possible to estimate
when or to what amount further is
sues of bonds must be made to cover
the remaining expenditures growing
out of the war. 1t is entirely clear,
however, that the moment has come
when the interests of the govern
ment and of the country will be best
served by the issue of bonds of short
maturities. and this will be the pol
icy of the Treasury"
This statement will be good news
to the banking interests. Short
time borrowings by the government
Will not be for sums in billions, and
they can be accommodated without
causing a halt in all other financing
for periods of three weeks at a time,
as in the case of the Liberty Bond
issues.
The final approximate figures on
the Fourth Liberty Loan follow:

STOP INITIATION
SAY BANK MEN
Remaining War Cost Must
Be Paid Out of Cur
rent Savings.

The business and banking situa-
ton of the country. with particular
reference to the transition from war
to peace activities. was canvassed
and discussed yesterday at the final
joint session of the year Of the Fed
eral Reserve Board and the Federal
Advisory Council.
Conditions in Europe. present and
prospective. in their bearing on
domestic conditions were gone into
eXhaustively. and the general sense
of the meeting was that imitation
must be stopped and as much as
possible of the remaining cost of the
war paid out of current savings If
danger is to be avoided
1t is intimated that this was not
a unanimous verdict, but under the
agreement made when the Federal
Council came into being the bankers
who took part in the discussion de-
clined to discuss the proceedings.
Among those who attended the
meeting were:
James b. Forgan of Chicago, L. l..
Rue Of Philadelphia. J. P. Morgan
of New York, Daniel G. Wing of
Boston. w. S. Rowe of Cincinnati,
]. w. Norwood of Richmond, C A.

Imitation In Increase.

1t is reported that the subject Of
production and consumption in the
United States was canvassed, and
that the Federal Reserve Bulletins
hgures placing the excess of produc-
tion at $4,000. 600. 900 was accented
as being as accurate as IL was pos
sible to estimate. 1t is contended.
however. that this sum does not
truly represent the increase in net
income since the beginning of the
war. Just previous to the outbreak
of the war the country's net in
come was estimated at SIS. 600. 600. OOn.
Most bankers insist that imitation Of
prices is represented in the increa Sc
and that as the $4,000. 600. 600 today
does not exceed the purchasing
power of $4,000. 900. 600 in the pre-
war year of 1918 it represents an
actual increase of only $4,000. .OOO, 600
and imitation of 100 per cent.
The Federal Reserve Boards opin-
ion Of thSs situation is set forth in
the current issue of the Federal Re
serve Bulletin, and is in part as fol-
lows:
There is nothing that can be ac-
complished by initiation that cannot
be better accomplished in other ways
less Objectionable in their economic
effects
The dangers of the situation lust
pointed out emphasize from new
angle the necessity that everyone
recognize the importance of his pay
ing as much of the current cost of
the war as possible out OF current
savings drawn from new incomes
The extent to which such saving can
be made depends upon the extent to
which the savings margin Of the
community-Or the surplus of current
overproduCtion-can be raised"
