 MINERS IN CAMPS

Washington, Nov. 20.---Release from training camps within the next few days of several thousand soldiers, who before being called into the service were employed in anthracite coal mines, was arranged at 8 conference yesterday between Fuel Administra- tor Garfield and Secretary of War Baker They will be brought to Washington and all who desire to re- turn to the anthraeitee fields will re- ceive immediate discharge.
 The need of increasing the output of anthracite coal was urged by Dr. Garfield. He pointed out that the production was reduced about 25 per cent. in six weeks by the influenza epidemic and later by the prolonged Icelebration of the signing of the ar mistice.
 The miners with the armies in France are not affected. They will be subject to the general arrangements for the return of the troops
 Steps were taken by Dr. Garfield also so far as possible, to prevent the men now employed in the mines from scattering to other industries during the reconstruction period.

after his return to this country he will be represented at Versailles by proxy Colonel House, the Presidents personal advisor, who is now in France, will serve in this capacity for him, it is suggested. While develop snents both here and abroad make impossible the final choice of our peace envoys, it is practically agreed that the following men will be among the lot:
 Secretary of State Lansing, Secre- tary of War Baker, EIihu Root and Colonel House.
 Overnight gossip eliminated both Secretary of Agriculture Houston and former Justice Charles E. Hughes.
 There remains the possibility, hows ever. of former President Taft and Justice Brandeis being numbered among "those present" at the peace table, and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, also has been mentioned.
 Barring Secretaries Lansing and Baker and Colonel House, though, all states are gathered from the thin air'' as nothing definite has come from the President, and none of his aides care to tell what they believe he will do. l Many invitations from cities and municipalities in France, England and Italy came to the White House yester- l day. Officials believe that the Presi- dent may visit London, Brussels and Rome-the capitals of three of the | major Allies-in addition to Paris, where he will make his headquarters during the conference. Arrangements are now under way in France to pre- pare a lavish reception 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.
 It was reported in diplomatic quar- | ters here yesterday that the seven Latin-Amertcan countries that fol- lowed our lead and declared war on | Germany, together with the four that enemy, had decided to Hump" their i interests at the peace conference and
 to ask President Wilson to be their | spokesman.
 1 The State Department, however
 knew nothing of the report If 1t
 should prove to be correct, the Presi- | dents position as the defender of
 small nations would be tremendously
 fortified by such a wonderful evidence
 of faith reposed in him by nations
 that went to war solely because they
 knew the United States was fighting ! for the right.

SPANISH INFLUENZA
Do Not Fear When Fighting a Ger
 man or a Germ!
By DIR. M. COOK.

The cool fighter always wins and so there is no need to become panic stricken. Avoid fear and crowds. Ex- ercise in the fresh air and practice the three Cs: A Clean Mouth, Clean Skin and Clean Bowels. To carry off the poisons that accumulate within the body and to ward off an attack of the influenza bacillus, take 8 good liver regulator to move the bowels. Such a one is made up of May-apple, leaves of aloe. root of jalap, and is to be had at any drug store, and called Pheasant Purgative Pellets"
 If bad cold develops, go to bed, wrap up well, drink freely of hot lemonade and take hot mustard foot bath. Have the bedroom warm but we'll ventilated. Obtain at the nearest drug store "Anuric Tablets to flush the kidneys and control the pains and aches. Take an "Anuric" tablet every two hours, togC lher with cop ious drinks of lemonade. If true case of influenza, the food should be simple, such as broths, milk, butter milk and ice creami but it is import ant that food be given regularly in order to keep up patients strength and vitality. After the acute attack has passed, which is generally from three to seven days, the system should be built up by the use Of a good iron tonic, such as ''Irontic" tab lets, to be obtained at some drug stores or that well known blood maker and herbal tonic made from roots and barks of forest tFees-seld everywhere as pr.

MUSIC CURES SHE'LL SHOCK.

London, Nov. 2O-Music has been found to be beneficial in the treatment of soldiers suffering from shell shock and now singing is to be tried on a sytematic scale with the approval of the army authorities.
 It has been found that singing has both directly and indirectly a won derful curative effect, and there are a number of cases on record in which a man who has been unable 10 speak, suddenly joined in with the singing and so recovered his speech. An ef- fort is being made to organize regular singing training in all hospitals where there are shell shock cases.

Washington, Nov. 20 - President Wilson, in two-hour session with members of his cabinet yesterday, dis cussed the preliminary plans of his trip abroad as the head of Americas delegation to the peace conference.
 Absolute necessity of uninterrupted, continuous communication for the government during the period of re- adjustment, is the reason ascribed by Postmaster-Gener Burleson for the Presidents decision to take control of the cable system.
 At the conference of the Republi- cans yesterday Senator Watson viz orously denounced the taking over of the cables. He declared that the pur- pose of government control was to fa- cilltate a strict censorship over all the news coming from the peace confer ence He said that George Creel, chairman of the committee on Public Information, intended to go abroad with a staff of his assistants and that through the control of the cables 1t would be impossible for newspaper correspondents to get through any news of the conference unless 1t was sanctioned by the Cree1 bureau.
 The President. it was learned, does not believe that he will experience difficulty in directing the affairs of the country while he is in Europe. During his absence the cabinet will meet regularly and he will be kept advised constantly on everything of in10ortanoa that transnireS here One of the main reasons for the govern ment taking control of the cables is to insure absolutely secret and unin- terrupted communication between the President and the officials of this country while he is in France.
 No other information was forth coming from the White House as to the date of the Presidents departure save that 1t will will be early in December-or the personnel of our peace delegation.
 The Presidential party will sail on the Agamemnon, formerly the Kaiser Wilhelm II. of the North German Line. The ship is being prepared fol the occupancy of the President and his suite. The Agamemnon is swifte1 than the former Hamburg-Americar liner Vaterland and has better accom- modations for passengers. President and Mrs. Wilson are to occupy the Imperial suite once used by the former Kaiser while cruising on tht vessel.

 may be an actual delegate, and tha

ACCIDENTS
 DECREASING

Washington, Nov. 2o-Accidents in the iron and steel industry have de- creased more than per cent during the past year, as a result of efficiency, it was said by the Bureau of Statistics.

 The majority of accidents are de- clared to have resulted from defective machinery and the employment of in. experienced men.
