WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.--Presi-

cupies first Importance in the inter-
national situation today.
The president held that order must
be restored In the central powers be-
fore there can be a peace conference.
Hence officials here believe it will be
two or three months at least before
the conclaye can be held-probably
longer.
Meantime, however, the blockade
article in the armistice terms has
been amended to include necessary
provisioning of Germany during the
armistice. In reply to DR.. Solf's az
peal for mitigating the armistice
terms, it Is likely President Wilson
will shortly assure the German gov
ernment that helping hand will be
extended constantly In assisting Ter
many in self control
Assistance will be forthcoming
quickly because it Is the purpose OF
the allies to check anarchy in the
central powers and prevent its
spread.
One significant factor in tho
present situation is, decision not to
force Germans out Of Russia immedi-
ately.
With anarchy already prevalent in
Russia, 1t is held that quick removal
of Germans would extend the area of
the Bolsheviki in Russia while add
ing to the number Of malcontents in
the home-going armies.
However. portions of Russia and
parts Of the former Austro-Hungarian
empire, the Slavs, Poles and Balkan
peoples are consolidating and sta
bilizing their government and peoples
in anticipation Of their coming re-
ward at the world peace conference.

ruling by the provost marshal general
today sent to local draft boards
throughout the country provided that
all draftees who have received their
auestionnaires shall return them to
the local board though they need not
be filled out.
The order yesterday was that all
missionaries in the hands of men
who had passed their 36th birthday
on Sept. 12, last, should be filed out
and returned and all others ignored.
To clear up any confusion General
Crowder today ordered that all ques-

board unsigned.
Discharge of Soldiers.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Return-
ing demobiIized soldiers into indus
tries through local draft boards were
being worked out by Provost Mar
shal General Crowder today.
Under Crowder's plan which is
tentative and still without formal
approval of the war department sol
diers will. be discharged only as fast
as their local boards can find jobs
for them to step into.
Each local board would act as a
soldiers employment agency until de-
mobilization Of the whole national
army was complete.
The system would return the sol
diers to civil life by exactly the same
course as they were taken into the
army. Rough details as worked out
at General Crowder's office follow:
Each board has a record Of the
Jobs the soldiers left when they
Joined the army SO the first step
would be to ask the former employer
If he wished to re-employ the men.
All employers would be asked to

board and the kind of work sol
diers wanted ascertained.

APPEAL AND ANSWER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Presi
dent Wilson is ready to consider
"favorably" the supplying of food
stuffs to Germany, If he can be as
sured order is beings and will con.
tinue to be maintained there.
This reply has been sent Germany
in answer to her appeal for food.
The only other condition placed upon
the matter was that there be guar
aptee of equitable distribution.
The German appeal, delivered yes
terday through the Swiss minister,
said:
''The German government ur-
gently requests the president OF
the United States to inform the
German Chancellor Ebert, by
y wireless, whether he may be as
sured that the government of the
United States is ready to send
foodstuffs without delay If public
order is maintained in Germany

Secretary Lansing said:
"At joint session Of the two
houses of congress on November
II, the president of the United
States announced that the rep
resentatives of governments in
the supreme war council at Yer
sailles have, by unanimous reso-
luton, assured the peoples of the
central empires that everything
that Is possible in the circum
stances will be done to supply
them with food and relieve the
distressing want that is in so
many places threatening their
very lives; and that steps are to
be taken Immediately to organize
these efforts at relief in the same
systematic manner they were or
ganized in the case of Belgium.
Furthermore, the president ex-
pressed the opinion that by use
of idle tonnage Of the central
empires it ought presently to be
possible to lift the fear of utter
misery from their oppressed pop
ulations and set their minds and
energies free for the great and
hazardous tasks of political con
struction which now face them
on every hand.
Accordingly, the president
now directs me to state that he
