Wilson Plans Commission For Reconstruction Work Washington, Nov. 13. President Wilson has unler consideration the appointment of a reconstruction commission to develop a compre hensive program for the nation's conversion from a war to a peace basis. The commission would be advisory rather than executive in Junctions and .the plans developed and co-ordinated by it would be carried out by existing governmenf departments and agencies. As now considered, the commis sion would be representative of commercial, industrial, labor, agri cultural and social interests; its membership would be small and it would deaf with all pHases , of the great problem of easing the country from war to peace. 1 The president is said now to be considering what emergency legis lation may be necessary before the government can proceed systematic ally to turn all resources of the country to peace-time production. How to shut otf further war pro duction ' without closing plants, throwing men out of work and caus ing financial strain, is the most im mediate reconstruction problem fac ing the government. Hundreds of telegrams of inquiry reaching gov ernment departments today disclos ed anxiety of business men over this question and offered many sugges tions. As a clearing house for such suggestions the reconstruction com mission would act. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States today made public a letter to President Wilson, citing evidence of anxiety among business men over the government's future course, suggesting development of uniform policies for all departments and Some measures for preventing a sudden drop in prices of raw ma; terial. ' , The Chamber of Commerce re commenced to the president the es tablishment of an-advisory recon struction commission, similar to that he now"considers appointing.

The celebration that be gan Monday night gathered momen tum instead of showing signs of abating. U. S. Army Marking Time. With the American 'Army at the Front, Nov. 13. The American army is marking time until or ders come from Marshal Foch for the next move. The roads near the front are filled with the panoply of the. war that has ended. The German command will have a difficult task, it is believed, to ac complish evacuation in time, be cause, since; the Americans have cut the Mezieres-Longuyon line at Se dan, the Germans, have only one main line over which to return to Germany. This line runs through Liege. The terms of the armistice forbid American' airplanes from go ing over the German lines and in asmuch as no prisdners are being, taken, it is virtually impossible to get any information as to thmove ments of the German army. Rejoicing at Headquarters. American Headquarters in France, Nov. 13. The scenes enacted in this little French city when the j armistice terms were published was,'; typical of every twn and village in France, but were given unique sig nificance because of the' long resi dence here of General Pershing and his staff.

Sucn a conference is regarded here as . unnecessary and as likely use lessly to complicate the work of the general conference when it is held. Ostensibly Dr. Solf's proposal is based upon the urgent need of Ger many for. food and other supplies, but it is pointed out that these con ditions will be dealt ith by, the United States and the allies in ad vance of the peace conference under the general pledges contained in the armistice and 'given by the supreme council at Versailles. In some' quarters ere it is sus pected that Dr. Solf's real purpose is to have the preliminary conference dispose of political matters, such as the future of German colonies and trade relations between the central power and the nations with which they had been at war, in the hope of Deing able 'thus speedily to re-establish German foreign trade. All of the old treaties of amity and commerce under which international treaties have been conducted be tween the warring nations automat ically have been destroyed by the war and it will be necessary to pro vide a whole new fabric of trade treaties. The fpeslce conference may . sig nify its? own ideas as to how these shall be framed, but it will remain for the individual nations tp give these ideas concrete form in special treaties. ' t Program Mapped Out. The supreme war council injVer sailles did more than consider the subject of armistice and it is now learned that for a long time preced ing the collapse of the central pow ers much study and attention was given to the subject of final peace in all its ratifications. Therefore when the peace confer ence meets it will find before it a fairly well digested program for the conduct of its business, calculated to keep the sessions well within bounds not only in the matter of expendi tures of time, but also in the range of subjects to be"' discussed. Owing to the number of questions to be considered and the amount of original investigation required to arrange final settlements of many of them, it is expectsd that soon aner convening the peace conference will divide the delegates into a number of subcommittees to deal with dif ferent branchs of the work and it is regarded here as certain'that it will provide for the appointment of per manent commissions to sit after final adjournment of the conference to perform the score of things that must be done to set the commercial and economic machinery of the world at work again. . A long time, , not months, but years, will be required -to readjust this machinery. One high official said today it was a safe rule based on history, to assume that it will re quire twice as much time to get ouii of the war as it did to go through with it. t Jugo-Slav Leader Wants Intervention in Tnest Washington, Nov. 13. Dr. Bnju mil Vosrijak, member of trie Jugo Slav committee at London, filed to day with the senate foreign relations committee a memorandum urging the United States toVwork out under a plebescite the political destiny of the inhabitants of Triest and -the surrounding territory occupied by Italy as a result of the armistice with Austria-Hungary.
