PICK DELEGATES Weil Informed Circles Forecast Selection of Four to At tend the Peace Parleys. TO STABILIZE GERMANY Order Must Be Restored— Trouble Feared By Brit ' ish la Carrying Out Terms. Washington, Nov. 16.—The state de partment lias asked Germany to ad dress all of the allies in making corn munirallons In Interest of all of I hem. rather than asking the United States alone. By Associated Press. Washington. Nov. tii. ■ American delegates to the great peace conference ue understood to have been selected by President Wilson, although there probably will be no announcement un til the place and date of meeting lias been decided upon formally by the inter-allied council which reassembled today In France. Discussion in well informed quarters today of the probable personnel of the delegation centered upon four men. They are; Robert Ranging, secretary of slate, to head the mission; Col. E M. House, now in France attending the inter-al lied council as the personal representa tive of the president; Elihu Root, and l.otils D. Brandeis, associate Justice of the supreme court. " The belief is growing here that Pres ident Wilson himself will attend the opening session of the congress, though not to sit as a delegate around the peace (able. Washington, IX C., Nov. 16.—Prelim inaries for the great peace conference are now well under way. it was indicated today that the con clave might be held before, or shortly after, the first of the year. Next week this government will send representa tives to aid Col. E. M. House in Ills work attendant upon the opening of the conference. These representatives are understood to include George Creel, chairman of the committee on public information; Edgar Sisson, head of the foreign division of the committee and regarded as an expert on Russian af fairs: Waiter Rogers, chief of the prop aganda service in New York, and a group of secretaries. At_a_i _ a _ n_A • !_A_ Neutrals to Participate. While the belligerent nations alone will participate In the most vital delib erations of the conference, neutrals will be allowed to be heard on many ques tions. it was indicated here today. They, of course, would have to plat a pari In the formation of a league of na tions which. President Wilson and T.Ioyd George have declared, must be a prime outgrowth of the great conclave. if President Wilson attends sessions of l he conference, as he would like to do. he would go over on a battleship, accompanied by Mrs. Wilson. Admiral Cary T. Grayson, probably Secretary Tumulty, and it is not unlikely that members of the American pence infu sion. headed by Secretary Lansing, may accompany him if all go at tiie same time. President May Go. Diplomats here incline to the belief that if the president goes he would be made honorary temporary chairman of tiie meetings he attends. The perma nent chairman probably will be Pre mier Clemenceau. as the conclave is expected to be held in France. Tt would appear that Europe accepts as certain that President Wilson will attend the meeting. Many invitations have been received asking .him to par ticipate in ceremonies to he arranged while he is there. More than 25 nations have a right to places at the peace table as belliger ents against Germany. These countries will not have equal voice in the session, event though technically entitled to e. Instead, France, Britain and the United States and Italy will have tiie main power. Belgium’s claims will be care fully followed, as will the claims of the Balkan nations. London. Nov. IS.—**it is evident that we must remain prepared for possible hostile action on tiie part of certain elements of tiie enemy’s forces," writes 1h« military correspondent of tl'.e Brit ish admiralty wireless service. "Revolutionary councils have been set up which may refuse to acquiesce in the lei ms of the armistice and the mere fact that the armistice can lie termi nated by either side at 48 hours’ no tice necessitates our being fully pre pared for all eventualities. "Whatever happens no organised, or effective resistance can, under any cir cumstances be offered by tiie German army, but if the troops refuse to ac knowledge the authority of their pres ent commanders and (he army should disintegrate, the allies may still have much work to do. "The victory” gained by the allies is one of the most complete recorded in history, the allied nations being in tiie almost unparalleled position of being able to dictate any terms they please to the enemy, who no longer has any means of resisting or prolonging the struggle for n single day. Problem* Political. "Henceforth, the problems which lie before iiS, are political rather than mil itary but for the moment we are faced with a situation which may require further military effort from some or all of Hie allies. Tiie whole of central and eastern Europe is in a state of extreme unrest from the Rhine to the I train, sod the allies are pledged to recon struct a new Europe out of this chaos. How this will he done, it is impossible to any, tmt it is evident tha> transition from war to peace must be very grad ual "However it must be remembered that this armistice is at present a mere paper transaction, and the course of action which the Germans are taking does not suggest that they mean to make our task easy.

These include the Metz-Thlon ville positions, and Slrassburg on the Rhine. Previous reports show that definite dates have been fixed by Mar shal Foch for. his entry into these German strongholds and his directions to the Germans as to the time and method of their retirement may be carried by the American officers.

Investigation ol the alleged Chicago beef trust is being demanded by members of parliament and a section of the British press. Bitter criticism of American meat packers is expressed in such headlines as these: - "A't the Mercy of the Meat Trust.” “Inquiry Needed Into Workings nl United States Concern.” Answering the statement of H. H. Cautley, member of parliament that the food control departments of Great Brit ain and America are being run to gether to a great extent and that Amer ican Influence in the direction of their policy is very strong and is exercised in the interest of the alleged American meat trust, .1. R. dynes, British food controller, declared the charge is a "gross misrepresentation." Cautley, however, is not without sup port. Bir John Taverner, who for 11 years was agent at Victoria. Australia, advocates a probe. “Mutton in Australia was comman deered by the government and cheer fully relinquished by the producers at 12 cents a pound." said Taverner. “It costs 2 cents a pound to deliver ft here and should have sold with a reasonable profit at t9 to 20 cents. In stead it was sold at 25 to 40 cents a pound. Australians wroie me indig antiy about 11 when they heard of these high prices for meat they had relin quished at 12 cents a pound. "When complaint was made here we were told that tha government had le avers ge up on their prices. Fn other words, they used this Australian- meat to malto up their losses on the excessive prices they paid the American meat trust. "It lias always seemed thal the great est injustice that the Australian meat, which is C heap, should be handed over to our allies while to the British peo ple should be left the dear meat of the American trust. That is why I think there should he an impartial ritqtriry.” NO BEEF TRUST. Chicago, Nov. 15.—"There ii* no heef trust," Louis Swift, president of Swift & Co., packers, said today when shown a dispatch from London saying that a parliamentary investigation had been asked of the so-called “Chicago. beef trust." American packers’ profits have been limited to 9 per cent a year, Swift sa-Wt. Ifo added he did not regard that as ex cessive. “War time necessities have made higher prices.” Swift explained. “Aus tralia's being far removed from Great Bri'ain and a shortage of ship« nat urally caused Britain lo turn to the nearest source of supplies This threw au extra heavy burden on livestock producers in this couiri - y. ilh the re sult that Increased dem.inl naturalty drove prices to new high level. “The goat of sheep lias increased in the United States 109 i>e • rent, since 1915. but tbe cost of dressed iu Litton ha- only iirureasied 89 per- cent."
