NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS President Wilson to Sail Tuesday for Peace Conference in Paris. WHOLE. WORLD IN TURMOIL Greatest Armed Strugnle of History Has Shaken Whoi Structure of Civilization Change, Disorder 1 and Fighting, Features of European Situation. Dy EDWARD W. PICKARD. Unless tins unexpected happens , which seems to bo the rule rnther than Uie exception nowadays President Wilson will sail for tho iieuco confer enco In Paris Tuesday on the George Washington, immediately after deliv ering his message to congress, which reassembles Monday, Friday night Pres ident Wilson announced tho appoint ment of tho peace commission. Ho tiamcs himself as u member and will act as chairman during his stay of six Weeks or more In Paris. Returning, ho "will bo replaced by Secretary of War Baker; Secretary of State Lansing will succeed him as chairman. Other mem bers of the commission arc: Col. 12d ward M. House, tho president's chief confidant; Henry White, formerly am bassador to Italy nnd France; Gen. Taskcr II. Bliss, American military ad viser of tho supreme war council. Those who criticize tho president for going must admit that his temptation 1b great. Setting aside the fact that he may feel It his duty to attend, It Is the literal truth that such a meet ing of sovereigns, presidents, premiers, chancellors 'and high dignitaries of the out Idas of the earth tho worlr has nev er seen. It Is HUoly to bo preceded by n grand review of designated units of tho victorious armies and fleets. It will certainly bo preceded by consul tatlons of the heads of many nations. As to the conference Itself, It has no parallel In history And among these ffreut ones of tho earth, who will bo moro prominent than Woodrow Wil son, president of tho United States of America, both by reason of his own activities In tho world struggle and of tho unique position of his country? Moreover, Mr. Wilson will have an opportunity to be a modern Solomon to the many applicants for his per sonal aid. These appeals have comu to him from victor and vanquished, from new nntlons nnd old, from the In dependent and from those seeking .In dependence from Turkey, Luxem burg, Austrln, Germany, Russia, Ire land, Poland, Roumanla; from the Jugo-Slnvs nnd tho Czecho-Slovnks. Turkey asks for United States admin istration of flnnnccs, etc.; Luxemburg er protection us a small Independent Mate; Austria for occupation by American troops to prevent civil war tmong newly formed nations, and so on. Kaeh request presents n different problem. On the other hand, tho peace con ference faces the tremendous problem of reconstructing a world. Thrown without warning Into the greatest armed struggle of all time, tho nations emerge from the bloody conlllct to find that It Is not only tho lauds that have been trampled under foot that must bo reconstructed, but that tho wholo structure of modern civilization lias been shaken. Ancient Institutions and time-honored traditions are over thrown. Mankind finds Itself among civic and economic ruins. It will be too much to expect of human nature to count on this peace conference be ing entirely peaceful. It Is moro like ly to bo a rough-and-tumhlo uffntr. There are ninny possibilities of trou ble. Suppose our allies point out that America's traditional policy has been one of detachment from European af fairs and that for two years and a half she observed neutrality and then sug gest that r.he return to her detachment and allow the nutlons most Intimately concerned to arrange a settlement. Suppose the fundamental principles of justice and right, given world-wide publicity as the things for which America wos fighting and unofficially 2SA. ?''?' '.'JPtS.V. :sa?r - &.. .v.. A f&yfi&i . ,...Vf.V. accepted by our allies, nro thrown overboard by the conference. Tako but one of the many great questions, tho "freedom of the sens." Nobody scius to know Just what this means, but It needs no prophet to know that Great Hrltaln regards her position as tho dominant sea power of tho world as a matter of life and death. Of course Mr. Wilson Is sfong be cause ho speaks for a nation that wants nothing for Itself nnd hoLH tho purse strings for tho world. Yet who loves the player who comes Into the game late and holds all tho big cards? rai Who will act as president during Mr. Wilson's absence? Opinions dif fer. G. W. Wlckersham, attorney gen eral In the Tuft cabinet, says that the Constitution makes It mandatory upon Vice President Marshall to act as president because of the president's "Inability to discharge the duties of said otllcc." C. U. I lilies, former chair man of thi! Republican national com mittee, says that tho Constitution does not cover the situation, as Its makers did not contemplate tho absence of thu president. "Tho next In line," ho says, "Is the secretary of state, who Is also going to Europe; then comes the sec retary of tho treasury, who has re signed." Still, there would seem to ho no cause for worry, as tho president Intends to administer tho otllco on board ship and In Paris. Ho says thero are no constitutional difficulties and wireless nnd cable solve tho phys' cal problem. Resides, he leaves in Washington Secretary of War llake. holding him to be the ranking member of the cabinet upon the retirement of Secretary of tho Treasury McAdoo. And what of tho United States sen ate, "tho most august body on earth?" Under the Constitution It Is the duty of this nugust body to serve us adviser ami counselor to the executive au thority In the making of treaties nnd to act as a ratifying body. Certainly the senato will not do much advising and counseling; Mr. Wilson will be where ho ennnot ho advised and coun seled to nny great extent. And as to ratlllcatlon the senato ' fears that will probably be about the same story. Mr. McAdoo's resignation from tho treasury department and from tho di rectorship of railroads is naturally a topic of nation-wide discussion, for tho reason that It appears to contain a concealed significance. He says ho quits because the compensation is ton small and his health Is Impaired by overwork. Some take his statement at Its face value. Others who have seen In him a presidential candidate in tho mnklng, rendy to receive the man tle of succession without tlluchlng, think he quits because he does not care to bo Identified with whnt he con siders the president's set purpose to Impose government ownership or con trol on all public utilities In this coun try. They do not say that he has given up nny presidential aspirations lie may huvo had. They do say that recent government action has mnde the situ ation so acute that ho was compelled to resign or to remain In office and help to formulate n policy which ho does not approve. One thing Is sure: Mr. McAdoo's resignation from tho president's olllclnl family has set tho whole country to discussing govern ment ownership of public utilities. It Is no new question, but It Is one on which the American people hnve never passed. They hnvo the right In times of peace to bo henrd on measures taken In war for the "duration of the war.' Tiiey win insist on being heard. It Is understood In Washington that Hornard M. Uaruch, chairman of tho war Industries board, has been offered the post of secretary of the treasury. a Change and disorder, If not actual lighting, mo features of the European news. In southeastern Europe n mil lion Austrian army deserters have es tablished fortified cumps'ln various districts; these and hordes of released prisoners aro a menace. From Russia come reports of tho assassination of Admiral Kolchak. dictator of Siberia, at Omsk; the wholesale massacre of Jews In Warsaw and parts of Gullcla, and the miissr.cre by t)io bolshovlkl of former Russlnu officers In Pctrograd. Polish troops hnvo captured Lemberg, capital of Gallcln, and Poles and Ukrainians huvo declared an armistice, looking toward President Wilson as arbitrator. Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia bus been appointed regent of the Jugo-Slav state that Is forming. .xwmt - Roumnnln has dissolved Its parliament and convened a constituent assembly. Roumanian Transylvania has declared Its Independence. Efforts to reinstate Emperor Karl are reported from Vi enna. King Albert of Belgium has promised equal suffrage to bis sub jects. The German government, It Is stnt ed, will Invite President Wilson to vis It Germany while ho Is In Europe. What Is the German government? No body knows. Tho news sent out from Germnny, oven If true, simply con fuses the situation. And Is the news true? The German has proved himself tho worst liar In nil history. Can tho leopard change his spots? The social ists are struggling among themselves for place and power. Aro they mnklng any progress toward a government that the allies can recognize? On tho Information nt hand It Is Impossible to say. The feeling Is growing that the ulllos will ultimately have to oc cupy Germany until order and govern ment are restored. Delayed reports show that the Ger in nn lino In front of the American iirmy of occupation Sunday ran from Rltburg to Troves, Oboreinmel, Ober zorf and Loshelm. Marshal Foch ar rived In Strassburg Wednesday and re viewed the army of occupation. Twenty-eight Gerninu U-boats surrendered Sunday at Harwich and 1!7 Wednes day. The total to date Is now 111. in cluded In the latest surrender Is tho noted submarine cruiser, Deutscbland. which made two trips to the United States ns a cargo ship before being converted nnd raiding shipping off tlio Atlantic coast. Many Indications of n purpose to ex tradite the former kaiser and try him for his crimes against civilization and humanity are seen In France and Eng land. Even tho extreme socialists In Germany express n deslro to lay hands on him ns a traitor to his country. Holland says he Is there as a private citizen nnd that he must go If his pres ence becomes perilous to the country. R3 The total of i!.'l,117 for the casual ties of tho American expeditionary forces, according to General Persh ing's official report to the war depart ment, Is unexpectedly large. That HOYiril are classltled ns "killed and died of wounds" Is proof that our brilliant victories during tho latter days of the war were won by tierce lighting. The totul of 170,025 "wound ed" Is believed to Include many whoso wounds were very slight. About IK), 000 casualties huvo been furnished to tho press to date. Casualties thut oc curred In late September nud early October are being reported now. Tho delay Is stated to be duo to the Ina bility of tho cables to carry the lists. If from now on the lists average 11,000 n day, as promised, It will take about f0 days to complete publication In the newspapers. Thirty divisions of American troops, approximately 1,200,000 men, will probably be kept In Europe for occu pation purposes. This leaves about 1,000.000 men to bo sent home ns fast and quickly us possible. It is likely to bo u slow Job. Id Tho sentenco of Thomas J.

Is officially announced that total subscriptions In tbo'Unlted War Work campaign are $203.170.0,lS. or 5.12,070,. 038 In excess of the amount asked by the seven war relief organizations. This Is the largest sum ever raised In history as un outright gift. Its signifi cance Is tremendous. One reason for our strong position In European af fairs Is the genernl belief In our high Ideals and the spiritual quality of our motives. To our Red Cross and other relief agencies Is largely duo this be lief. Moreover, this campaign has brought Americans of nil races and creeds closer together. Scoro a tri umph for humnnltnrlanlsml .
