FOR THEIR NEEDS
Supreme War Council Has
Plans to Send More Before

hausted Without Wasting.

Washington, Nov. 1G-In the al
most hysterical appeals of the Ger
man provisional government for sup
plies of food and for permission to
address itself directly through COM
mission to the American public, Of
ficials here see a purpose to excite
the sympathies of a large element of
the American population more or less
connected by blood ties with Ger
many. With such sympathies aroused
the German government, it was said,
undoubtedly hopes to influence the
approaching peace conference toward
leniency.
Such appeals as those which have
been sent by wireless by DR.. Solf,
German foreign secretary. to Seere-
tary Lansing, were said to be quite
unnecessary and not likely TO have
any beneficial result. President Will
son already has promised to do every
thing possible to prevent suffering
among the civil population of the
conquered states. The entente powers
have endorsed this attitude, not so
much from considerations of mercy
or sympathy with the foe as from a
genuine conviction that starving
and desperate people would make
tAoheV iIihHOCiot any S1N-
isfactory peace impossible and by APP
peals to the internationalist. spirit
endanger the security of the entente
countries themselves.
Food Is Available.
The design of the conservative ele-
ments in the entente states is under
stood to be to avoid raising any new
issues that would aggravate these
conditions.
1t is known officially that there is
sufficient food in Germany to meet
immediate needs The supreme war
council is planning to supply food in
the future and before the present
stocks are exhausted. assuming the
exercise Of economy in food distribu-
tion.
To correct what appears to be a
general public misunderstanding on
the subject. 1T may be authoritatively
stated none of this food to be sent
from America to Germany or Austria
will be given away 1t must be paid
for by the governments of those
countries. Possibly that can not be
done in German cash. for It is believ-
ed that the store of gold in the Reich
bank has been practically exhausted
through the heavy purchases which
Germany has been obliged to make
from neutral countries.

BRITISH PREMIER
ASKS COALITION
sOL0NS RETURNED
Recognizes That in Present
Condition Of ireland Irish
Question Can Not Be Set
tied at This Time,

London, Nov. 16 British Wireless
Service premier Lloyd George has
sent q letter to Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer Bonar Law, leader of the
unionist party outlining his policy re-
garding the general election and the
principal issues of the day.
The premier says he is convinced
that there should be u general cleo
ton. his principal reason being that II
is essential there should be fresh
parliament possessed Of authority to
deal wi h the difficult transitional Pc
iiod which will follow the cessation
of hostilites.
Mr.. Lloyd George considers it
should be coalition election, the con-
stituents being invited to return cam
ddates who win undertake the sup
port of the present government not
only to prosecute the war 10 a final
end and to negotiate peace, but to deal
with problems of reconstruction.
Dealing with the imperial prefer
ence, the premier says:
81 have already accepted the policy
of imperial preferences as defined in
resolutions of the imperial conference
to the effect that preference will be
given on existing duties and on any
duties which may subsequently be i'm
posed
zone of the great objects, which
must be aimed at in the future is to
maintain an improved agricultural po-
stion, and for this purpose a great
deal can be done in many directions
including, for instance, an improve
ment, indeed, a complete change of
the transport situation.
'In order to keep up the present
standard of production and develop
it to the utmost extent possible, it Is
necessary that security should be Civ
en- against unfair competition to which
our industry has in the past been sub
iected by the selling of goods below
the actual cost of production"
Dealing with the home rule ques-
tion,i the premier said:
II can support no settlement which
would impose a forcible coercion of
Ulster Eighteen months ago the gov
ernment made alternative proposals
for settlement of the Irish problem.
1t offered either TO bring home rule
into immediate effect, while excluding
the six northern counties of Ulster
from its operations, but setting up at
the same time Joint council which
would he empowered to extend legis-
lation of an Irish parliament to Ulster,
or to set up a convention of represent
at'vn Irishroen to endeavor to find a
settlement for themselves.
"Tha second alternative was adopt
ed, but fortunately after nearly year
of earnest deliberations the conven-
ton found themselves unable to arrive
at any hing like an agreement
"In these circumstances I claim the
right to bring settlement into ef-
feet based on the first of these alter
natives. recognize, however. that in
the present condition of ireland such
an attempt could not succeed and that
it must be postponed until the con-
dition Of Ireland makes it possible

Washington, Nov achievement
of American troops across the At
lantic has stopped entirely and de-
mobilization of troops in cantonments
and camps at home is under way.
General March, chief of staff. made
this announcement today, outlining
the war departments plans in an
been asking since the day the armis-
tice was signed and 1t became appar-
ent that the war was over. He said
ORDERS already issued would send
10000 men back to civil life within
two weeks. and that when the pro-
gram was in full swing about 10000
would quit the army daily.
/ Fighting divisions OF General Per-
shings army in France will be de-
mobillzed as FAR as possible in their
home communities. The chief OF
staff would make no prediction as to
when the first divisions would start
home. 1t appears probable, however,
that the flow of returning troops can
be in full tide before February /.
Quarters will be available for them
at the cantonments by that time.
Some officers regard it as possible
that certain divisions may be recalled
in advance of the general return
movement. General March indicated
that the Forty-second (Ralnbow) di-
vision, because it is composed of men
from twenty-siX states and in recog-
milton of the fighting record it has
made in France, would be marked for
special treatment The Twenty sixth
(New England national guard) and
the Forty first (SunseD divisions are
in the same class, so 1t would not
cause surprise. therefore, If these
three organizations should be desig-
mated by General Pershing as the
first to return. with six weeks Of
1918 left 1t is possible they may be
home before New Years day
Supplementing General March's
statement. Secretary Baker sald it
would not be necessary to maintain
all the existing cantonments for de-
mobilization purposes and that a
study was now being made of those
desirable for that purpose. The
others, with all the divisional camps,
