Why War is Over

No wonder the war has come to
an end. At the time when hostili-
ties ceased on Monday the American
army had reached total strength of
3,764,677 men, according to official
figures at the War Department in
Washington. Of that number, e.
100000 had been sent to France, It
ally or Russia and the remainder were
under arms in camps in this country.
The war was bound to come to an
end soon, with an army like that and
more on the way. And America raised
and equipped this army in a little
more than a years time.

It also was recalled to- day that the Senate itself not many years ago recorded it's formal objection to the appointment by the President of any of it's members as commissioners to negotiate agreements which mast afterwards come before it for approval
 LABOR WANTS VOICE.
 Notice has been taken by officials here of the demand by certain social istic elements, not only in Europe but in America, to have labor participate in the peace congress, officials were understood to hold that 10 recognize la for in this way would be to establish class distinctions whicn would be thor oughly un-American. On the other hand, It was said that by the appointment to the peace commission of man such $ Justice Brandeis. for instance. known to be an ardent friend and champion of labor at all times, the interests of the working classes would be sure of conservation.
 It was made plain today that the se- lection of Secretary Lansing to head the American commission is not to be taken q an indication of his purpose to resign his present office. In his ab- sence Counsellor Frank l.. Polk is ex- pected to act as7 Secretary of State.

16-FOOT LIZARD
 FOUND IN BORN EO

New York, November 15.- Distin- Euished ichtyologists and hepetologists met here today to hear about the larg- est lizard ever discovered The enor- nous lacertilian reptile was found In the wiIds of Borneo by H. c. Raven Of the American Musued of Natural His- tory.
 MrA Raven was amazed, he told the scientists. when he met the gigantic lizard in the jungle He didp't believe 1t was possible at first. put definitely es- tablished that he had not been deceived by a mirage.
 This lizard, officially described as a flesh heating monster. was larger than any reptile of it's species eyar before encountered. measuring 16 feet from nose to tail and built in proportion. Herpctologists have found fragments of what they took to be prehistoric lizards of enormous size, but the largest one ever seen alive. until MT. Raven found his in Borneo, was only 10 feet. 8 Inches long.

UN|F F|CAT|ON 0F ROAD OPERATION
 ID BE CONTINUED Pooling of Facilities Will Be Continued Throughout
 Period of Govern
 ment Control

Washington. November 15.-Regardless of the ending of hostilities Director General McAdoo intends to continue to unify railroad operations and pool fa- cilities throughout the period of gov ernmcnt control, which under the law will end 21 months after peace is for- mally declared. This policy, it was stated today, has been adopted definite ly. and the railroad administration will not limit it's changes in the interest Of economy to those contributing directly to winning the war.
 MT. McAdoo, together with othe ob- servers of the development of govern ment policies, Is represented AS beiiey- ing that on the showing made by the railroads under unified control during the next year or two depends settlement of the issue of permanent government.
 Without attempting at this time tp take a definite stand on this question. the director general, it Is said, plans to make government operation show the best re- suits possible, in service to shippers and travellers, rates and treatment of em- ployes. Instead of considering any post poned reform in the light of it's neses- sity as war measure, he will regard it from the standpoint of whether it will improve transportation conditions for the nations business in the future.
 The director general hopes that the re- forms such as pooling4of facilities, short hauling and standardizing or unifying operation and accounting practices will result in material economies in another year, and that ultimately this will mean rate reductions or extensions to improve service
 The railroad administration policy, it was learned. will be to minimize the in fluence of state laws and regulations over rates, but to seek the advance and cooperation of state railways or utilities commissions on policy matters.

 There has been a disposition to de- lay the holding or the peace confer ence until the situation in Europe had somewhat crystallized, but it was un- derstood today that considerations fi- nally led to a decision by the asso- ciated governments to proceed to as- semble the conference at the earliest date that can be set, having regard to the difficulty of ensuring the at- tendance of commissions or delegates at Versailles, which seems most likely to be selected as the place of the

Washington, November 15.-Railroads and the railroad administration do not intend to place large orders for 1ocomo- tives and cars for future use until steel prices are matedially reduced. it was said today by railroad administration officials.
 Railroad corporations, It was explained do not feel justified in paying present high prices for equipment which they will not need badly for two years, and the railroad administration doee not wish to force orders on them. Already the government administration has or aered more than 100000 cars. Il cosnpar- atively high prices, and has dlstrfbuted the burden of the cost among the roads
 To keep steel industries busy during the period of reconstruction. steel pro- ducers meeting with the war industries board this week suggested that the rail- roads place their future orders now.
 Financing of railroad purchases of equipment through so-called car pools is one new function which probably will be assumed shortly by the War Finance corporation. 1t was stated today. Here tofore, this financing has been done by the railroad administration with it's half bi'' n dollar revolving fund. assisting ~ d'idual railroad corporations.

PRESENT COPPER PRODUCTION, PRICE
 AND WAGES ARE
 ID BE MAINTAINED

arlington, November 15.

 War to peace basis.
 WHOLE SITUATION DISCUSSED
 The general industrial situation with particular reference to the effect the ces. sation of hostilities would have on prices and demand without government super vision and allocation was understood, to have been discussed. The conference also took up the probable world requirements during reconstruction in Europe
 One of the allied Governments" said federal statement issued after the con ference, within the past 24 hours has requested information on delivery ot 100000 tons of the commodity. which was accepted as a sign that the European demand would not only be large but immediate, Another dpoint given consid- eration was the prospective requirements for civilian consumption. due to the curtailment of the productivity of many American industries for the last IS months because of the needs of the war programme, which has created q de- mand that should prove factor in stab ilizing conditions generally.
 PRODUCE 75, PER CENT
 The civilian demands in Europe and elsewhere. held in check for more than four years, would work to the same end. it was thought since America produces approximately 75 per cent of the worlds copper supply.
