The "little five" (foreign minis.

er commissions.
No definite decision has been reach
ed regarding the work after the Ger
man delegates arrive, but it is under
stood a special committee, composed
of the "big four" will deal with them
The treaty will be gone over and the
various points explained. The Ger
mans are then expected 10 return to
Weimar and submit the treaty to their
government. This plan naturally will
be altered If the German delegates
have plenary powers, as they will then
be able to sign the treaty without leay'
ing Versailles.
Treaty $4,000 Words Long
The cleaning up Of the important
questions involved in the treaty camc
like a whirlwind and although some
details are still outstanding they can
be speedily whipped into shape. The
Adriatie question, under consideration
by the "big four" today, will not slow
up the treaty with Germany. This and
other problems can continue under de-
bate while the negotiations are under
way with the Germans.
The treaty to be handed to the Ger
mans April 25 will be at least $4,000
words long, according to the best esti-
mates. 1t probably will consist Of a
general introduction, in which ali the
principles will be set forth and will
be followed by specific protocols GOV
ering separate divisions. Among these
protocols will be the league Of nations
covenant, to which the Germans viii
subscribe although they viii not be
admitted to membership in the league
until they are voted in under the Gov

members.

Paris, April 15.-(United Press.)-
President Wilson yesterday gave out
the following statement:
In view Of the fact that the ques.
tions which must be settled in the peace
with Germany have been brought as
near complete solution that they can
now quickly be put through the final
process of drafting, those who have
been most constantly in conference
about them have decided to advise that
the German plenipotentiaries be invited
to meet representatives Of the assoei-
ated belligerent nations at Versailles on
the 25th of April.
"This does not mean that the many
other questions connected with the gen
eral peace settlement will be interrupt
ed or that their consideration which has
long been under way, viii be retarded.
On the contrary, it is expected that rap
id progfass will now be made with these
questions so that they may also present

settlement. II Is hoped that the ques-
tions most directly affecting Italy, es-

be- in the eurtailment of the use of gold for manufactures and making a call on the public to turn sin hoard ed gold. In France voluntary con- tributions by the people since the war began have amounted to more than two billion francs. Further re- lief might be obtained, the commit tee says, by amending the War Minerals bill to include gold and voting an appropriation to be used in directing the search for new de- posits.
 The committee declares that the future of gold mining in the world is problematical; that the gold out put of the world seems to have passed it's zeinth and to be on the decline.
 Virtually all economists agree that the gold standard should be main. tained," says the committee. Even those who have profound ideas as to the adyisability of different stand ard concur that it would be danger GUS to attempt any drastic changes during the war and the readjust ment period. The gold standard is of vital necessity in the regulation of foreign exchange, and shipments of gold to neutral countries should be encouraged to stabilize the value of our dollar, to insure confidence and to promote business relations"
 number of recommendations on the assumption that the country would still be at war were made, which have no application now The members of the committee other than Mr. Jennings, the chairman, are J. H. Mackenzie and Charles Janin of the Bureau of Mines and H. D. Gas key and F. L. Ransome of the Geolo- gicai Survey.

Jennings Committee Op. poses Bonus but Favors Removal of Taxes and
 Restrictions.
OUTPUT MUST INCREASE
Committee Recognizes that Imperative That Gold Production Must Be
 Made Greater.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10,-That the decline in the production of gold Ill the United States is of serious Ma tional concern is indicated by re- port of a special committee of gold experts made to Secretary of the In terior Lane yesterday.
 Several months ago the Secretary s attention was called to the rapidly increasing cost of gold production and the consequent decline of out put and, realizing the importance of the gold-mining industry, he appoint ed special committee headed py Hennen Jennings, the well-known gold mining engineer and consulting engineer of the Bureau of Mines, to go thoroughly into the situation ana make the necessary recommendations.
 The report, of interest not only to the gold-mining industry, but also to financial and business men as having an important bearing on Il nance and credits and the conse- quent prosperity of the country, de clares that "gold mining has been seriously injured by the war and has been discrminated against for the protection and benefit of the Treasury in that the export of gold and even the internal free trade in the metal was interrupted
 The committee says that prices on all commodities have advanced in terms of the Governments paper money except that of the ounce of gold, which has fixed price of | $2067 Thus in reality" says the committee, 'the purchasing power of gold has decreased in proportion to the increase of other commodities which in one way or another are factors in the obtaining of new gold"
 "The present decrease in gold pro- duction is serious" says the com mittee, "as the maintenance of a sufficient gold reserve is essential to the security of our National finances and credits The United States is the most favored nation in regard to gold reserves, holding over three DllllOH uOlldl Ol hCdliy U of that of the world, but it has con tracted debts on a gold basis many times that existing before the war" 1 The committee gives as the princi- pal reason for the decline in gold production the increase in operating costs in the most favored quartz mines from 57 cents to produce a collars worth of gold in 1917 to 70 cents in 1918.
 Various means of stimulating the production of gold at this time were considered by the committee. Pay ment of a bonus on newly mined gold, advocated by many, is drowned upon by the committee. The elimina- tion of the excess profits tax on gold mining, and the encouragement of l larger outputs thereby, is advocated and the statement is made that larg- CT dividends paid to shareholders | will mean greater revenue for general | taxation than could be obtained through any excess profits tax.
 The privilege of free export and of | sale to manufacturers would stimu- late production and aid gold mining, says the committee, and might also be safeguard against imitation. The Government might increase produc- tion by assisting in improving meth ods of mining and metallurgy of the gold ores. Possible methods of main taining the visible gold reserve would
