desired time. ,
rs ,
German delegates to the armistice
negotiations have issued a 'state
ment asserting that a brief delay in
the evacuation of occupied termor)
and delivering of rolling stock is in
dispensable. T,hey declare that ti
withdraw the troops and deliver tne

' May Attend Meeting.
Washington, Nov. 13. President
Wilson was said today to have given
no indication how he regards the
suggestion from high sources in
Europe that he attend the great con
ference which is- to re-establish 'the
peace of a wartorn world.
Most of the president's advisers,
however, are understood to consider
that acceptance of the invitations
would invoke needless risk and
would serve no purpose that could
not be accomplished through the
delegates who will beappointed to
represent the American government
and who will be -in constant (Com
munication with Washington. '

tion tonight Jhat Director General
McAdoo directed the administra
tion division of wage adjustment
to consider the request of. the em
ployes of the American Railway Ex
press company for increased wages
and better working conditions.
that fact would not mean, in the
belief here, that Secretary Lansing
would not be a member of the Am
erican delegation. It was said that
upon Mr. Lansing would fall much
of the weight of theh heavy tasks
connected with American participa
tion in the conference, not only by
virtue of his high rank, btitalteo
because of his wide experience in
other international conferences and
arbitrations.
Solf's Purpose Detected. . .
The proposal of Dr. Solf, the Ger
man foreign secretary, 'for a pre

reached Washington in official 'fprm
tonight, but it is understood there
