English Urged as
Official Language
Of Peace Farley
Would Be More Convenient
Than French to Larger
Number of ENJOYS

PARIS, Nov 27 (By The Associated d
Press).-The question Of conducting
the proceedings of the peace congress
in English is being discussed, with
some prospect that this innovation will
be brought about. If it is, it will be
the first great international congress
with English as the official language, as
French has long been recognized as the
medium of diplomacy.
For practical reasons, it is said, the
use Of the English language would be
more convenient than French to 6
larger number of the delegates, fol-
during the sessions Of the inter-Allied
conference all but two of the delegates
spoke English, whereas q considerable
number did not speak French and were
unable to understand the proceedings
when going on in French
The printed record of the daily pro-
ceedlngs will be in both French and
English for the convenience of all, and
in addition, several Of the governments
probably will have their own publica.
tions dealing with the DEVELOPMENTS.

By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Admirers
of the President here are doing their
best to urge on him, in various ways,
the necessity of his making some pub
lie statement of his ideas with regard
to the peace treaty before going
abroad. So far no official announce
ment has been made, and no positive
statement, for that matter, as to who
would compose the peace commission.
An afternoon paper here to-day an
nounced that Henry White, former Am
bassador to France and Republican,
would, with House and Lansing, be on
the peace mission, the President nim-
self making the fourth This may OF
may not be true, but there is little
happiness in strong Administration
circles over the situation.
They fear his message to Congress
next week will be confined almost en-.
tirely to reconstruction matters. They
also continue to fear that no Republi-
can of standing certainly not a Re
puDi1SdH WIKI WOulU really represent
the party, thereby conforming to the
real idea for appointing a Republican
at all-will be named.
One of the few men in the Cabinet
who may have some glimmering of the
Presidents intentions on the peace mis-
sion wes asked informally the othel
night by close personal friend VIII,
the President should not name two O.
three prominent Republicans-rec
nized party leaders-as peace commits
sioners.
After brief gasp this official said
"Why, my dear friend, if Republi
cans of strong convictions were ap
pointed they might disagree with tn
President"
This seemed to settle the matter, s,
nothing further was said Needless t.

cipine among themselves, and by their
attitude to the existing government
found enough sympathy among the
peasantry to be able to get food for
a kind of maintenance. The robbery
Of trains and army storehouses and
every kind of pillage of military sup
plies helped them to maintain their
position.
THE people as whole suffered lit
tie, and even welcomed them into their
cottages. These men were simply
waiting for the general disruption,
which has already come.
All Want to Get Home
Second. the disaster which came a
month ago to the Austrian armies on
the Italian front set upward of a mill
ion and half disgusted, demoralized
and debauched, as we'll as hungry, dis
appointed and beaten troops, free from
the discipline of four and half years.
These men rencunced at once all con-
troll on the part of their officers. They
carried their rifles, but on being
loaded into the cattle trains waiting
for them at either Klagenfurt or
Laibach they had to leave their arms
restraint. On the way from Vienna to
Laibach we saw perhaps twenty shch
trains, each one looking like q crawl
ing snake covered with ants, the sol.
ders lying on the top of cars, crowd
ing the platforms. clinging to the win
dows, and even riding on the axles
themselves, all beset with one idea
to get home. They have to pass
through one. two, three or four belts
of hostile territory. according to
whether they are Germans, Czechs,
Poles or Ruthenians. Long before
they reach home they take to plunder-
ing:
"Thirdly, when the Central Empires
concluded with Russia the treaty of
Brest-Litovsk they at once began to
get their prisoners home from ali parts
of Russia with which they had rail
road communications. But not single
train OF Russian prisoners was allowed
to return from Austria or Germany.
AT least two million Russians were
forced to remain working on farms or
IN factories under hard ccpditions

Thousands Are Released

Russia. Germany soon followed her
example. Things would not be so bad
if the prisoners trains were run to
the Russian boundary. At the best
they are run to the Vistula, which
means that for the third time in this
war unhappy Poland is overwhelmed
with ar army of invasion.

Mr.. Rose. "is like to great mansion

He suggests among other things that
the American government establish
consulates or missions in numerous
centres, and also advisory or relief
committees, as we'll as to undertake

LONDON, Nov. 27.-The United
States cannot in honor accept even
the smallest destroyer as share of
the German fleet after the declara-
tions of President Wilson that Amer
lea would accept no acquisitions aris-
ing out of the war And it would
hardly be fair for other nations to
augment their naves by additions
from the foes feet to the possible
detrment of the United States.
This explanation is offered here for
the decision to dismantle the German
SHIPS after peace is signed and the
world made secure for another gen
Grafton, at least, and then sink them
in the middle of the ocean.
There have been many claims for
the German vessels. Britain, France
and the other Allies desire the Ger
man units to replace their losses in
the war.
Canada also aspires to own the Ger
man fleet as the nucleus of a navy
Besides the other claims to the war
ships the worlds smaller nationalities
would like the opportunity to purchase
the new units.
The division of the German feet
among the belligerents in such a way
as to make all parties contented would
be virtual impossibility. Britain
having borne the greatest burden of
naval warfare, could claim most Of the
spolls, but she is unlikely to enforce
such claims.
The PROJECT of sinking is contingent
upon the certainty that there is no
new war looming on the horizon. If
the worlds equilibrium despite all
efforts. seems likely to continue nm.
stable, the German fleet NAV survive
as a naval police force of the League
OF Nations, to be thrown in on the
side of the powers fighting against ar
aggressor nation.
Meanwhile Britain is guarding a,'
cleaning the disputed vessels pending
the decision of the peace CONGRESS-. in
whose WI hands lies the final decision.
NO doubt is entertained that the con-
gress will decide not to return the
feet to Germany. N''e

Policing of Seas
To Shift Warships
With War Over, Half of
Navy Is Expected to Go
to Pacific Waters

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-With the
passing of German sea power, the i'm
pelling strategic reason for keeping
the main strength of the American
navy massed in the Atlantic Ocean no
longer exists. Naval officers here an
ticipate, therefore, that the fleet will
be divided when the war emergency
has passed and substantially one half
of the main fighting strength Of the
navy 60 into a reorganized Pacific
feet.
Secretary Daniels indicated to-day
that general Encouragement of the
fighting ships was to be expected. He
gave no inkling Of what is under con-
sideration, however.
Bases to Be Established
There are indications about the de
partment that plans are already afoot
for reviving the old European squad
ron. With the increased responsible
ties of the United States in Europe
due to the war and the expanding mer-
chant marine. it is regarded as prob
able that definite naval force will
be maintained in European waters
hereafter. and it is possible that steps
may be taken toward establishing
limited base facilities for the upkeep
of the force.
The navy now has a station at the
Azores, and officers believe an arrange
ment with the Portuguese government
under which the station will be con-
tinued for some time at least is to be
expected.
In discussing the future of the feet,
officers realize that the creation of a
league of nations may produce new
considerations. As the United States
is sponsor for the proposal for a world
league it is assumed that concrete
plan of action has been mapped out for
President Wilson by his military ad-
visers. This would include the pro-
posal Of an organization under which
the combined fleets would operate to
police the world.
Policing of the Seas
The most practical way Of arranging
for an international police force of the
seas, many officers believe, is to so
provide that the locality of the dis
turbance to be quelled govern the com
position of any international fleet to be
sent to the scene That also would
obviate any difficulty as to selecting
the officer to command.
Should the trouble arise in a section
Of the world whore British interests
were dominant, it was suggested, the
major portion of the naval forces to be
assembled would be British and the
commander British, with squadrons Of
the other naval powers attached to
show the unity of purpose
Where American interests we're
chiefly involved the feet and com
mander would be American. This sug-
gestien arose from the feeling among
some officers that the idea of an in
ternational feet under supreme com
mander and kept constantly mobilized
for operations in any theatre would
lot be practicable. 1t was admitted, how
ever, that nothing definite was known
as to the plans which may have been
evolved for carrying into execution the
league idea.

frame of mind not in harmony with
the Thanksgiving spirit.
There was the most intense interest
here to-day in the speech last night in
New York of ex-Attorney General!
George w. Wickersham His contention
is that the visit abroad of the Pres
ident necessarily would carry with it,,
under the Constitution, his inability to
perform the duties of his office as
President, and for that reason Vice
President Marshall would be required
ttos assume, temporarily, the Pres, den
tal Office.
This point has been much studied
here, and there are many diverse opin-
ions on it. There has been discussion
particularly of the interesting ques-
ton involved in the pocket veto. This
provision of the Constitution is that if
a President shall fail to sign bill
within ten days of its presentation to
him it shall become law without his
signature.
Some contend, including Senator
Cummins, of Iowa, regarded as most
able constitutional lawyer, that deliv-
cry to his office in the White House is
meant. This might mean that Con-
could pass any laws it might choose
and he would be powerless to impose
his veto.
Practically this might not have much
effect, it is pointed out, because the
President could always count on q
group Of Senator'S filibustering against
any Legislation which he might not desire
to have passed, and the slowness of the
legislative wheels of Congress is such
that no law requiring any considerable
amount of discussion could be passed
If there We're strong opposition in any

dent should prolong his stay, however
a very different situation might arise
especially as the Democratic leaders r
