THE HEALTH SURVEY. Interest, is Increasing and People arc Beginning to Contribute. Reports from the rural districts in dicate that there is gratifying mani festation of interest in the movement to raise by popular subscription, the sum of $2,500.00 for the rural county health survey and twelve months health campaign of education, and several of the committees have col lected creditable amounts in their re spective communities. The suggestion that $800 addition al be raised to secure the services of a trained nurse for the rural districts, to be provided by the State Board of Health for one year if $800 addition al be raised, appears to be very popu lar in the country as well as in the city districts. Very few people are refusing tc contribute to the health survey fund according to reports of chairmen of community committees. ' but many are heartily endorsing the movemem, and a number of very substantial subscriptions are being cheerfully made by rural ladies and gentlemen.

Therefore the County Council and the Woman's Division of this council ex pect that every member of both of these bodies will immediately get busy and collect enough money to carry out this guarantee. Chairman Phelps will soon get busy getting his officers and council members busy to raise this money* 1 ANOTHER BIG DRIVE BY FOCIPS ARMY WAS READY TO BE SPRUNG. British Correspondent Says Allies Must Remain Prepared for Possible Hostile Action by Certain Elements of Defeated Enemy. London, Nov. 14 (Briiish Wireless I Service).?Describing the situation at jthe front, the military correspondent {of the British wireless says: "Marshal Foch had prepared further great attack east of the fMeuse which would undoubtedly have dealt the enemy a decisive blow. Wher. the armistice was concluded, there fore, the Germans were faced with imminent disaster and the only course open to them wg.s to surren der at discretion. "The German army appears to be in a state of -extreme confusion, but the fiv^ days respite which has beer granted may enable the Germans to organize their lines of communication and carry out the withdrawal oi their troops. It is evident that the allies must remain prepared for pos sible hostile action on the part of cer tain elements of the enemy's forces. Revolutionary councils have been set up which may refuse to acquiesce ii the terms of the armistice, and the mere fact that the armistice can be terminated at 4S hours notice neces sitates the allies being fully prepar ed for all eventualities. "Whatever happens, no organized or effective resistance can under any circumstances be offered by the Ger man army, but if the troops refuse to acknowledge the authority or their present commanders and th; army should disintegrate, the allied armies may still have much work to do."

Much of Real Work Believed to Have Been Disposed of in Advance. Jjm Problem to Be Decided Will be Recognition of Berlin and Vienna Governments. Washington, Nov. 14.?In advance Of the meeting of tho supreme wai council soon to be held at Versailles, officials here decline to discuss the approaching peace conference or tcJ indicate any views the government may have as to the time or place of its assembly. America's ' suggestions on these subjects probably will be presented to the council itself by Coi. E. M. House, the government's spe cial representative in Europe. Much of the real work of the peace conference, it is believed here, already has been done by the supreme war council. As a preliminary to the meeting of the conference, how ever, it will be necessary for the al lied and American governments to ?decide to what extent and by what title the provisional governments which have seized the reins of power in Berlin and Vienna represent the peoples of their countries. This it a delicate subject and officials today confessed that they had only foggj ideas as to the actual governmental situations in these capitals. The state department has been re ceiving communications thi-ough neu tral agencies from the ele facto gov ernments, but for the most part hat so cautiously phrased its replies as to avoid any such recognition as might afterwards prove embarrassing. The development of the separatist movement in Austria and Germany, resulting in the uprising of socalled independent republics on the basis of former German and Austrian prov inces, promises to present much dif ficulty in the further progress of peace negotiations. Each of these states wishes to be represented inde pendently at the peace table and ad journment, of all these delicate ques tions is one of the tasks devolving on the supreme war council. In some quarters today it was sug gested that the supreme war council also may consider at this time some of the protests which have been made by the defeated central powers or their component states against certain features of the armistice which they assert are 1 unworkable or else cal culated to creaie serious condition: I among the distresed civilian popular j tions. Should the supreme war coun } cil decide that some of these terms j may safely be modified to prevent j such acute distress as will strengthen I the threatening evil of an era of j Bolshevism in Central Europe, some j diplomatic observers regard it a? ; possible that relief will be granted, j In no event, however, would *any ; change that would in any way jeop I ardize the maintenance bv the allies i ! and America of absolute military j domination over the defeated foe be ; made. STILL DECEIVING PEOPLE. Hun Leaders Suppressed Six or Seven of Armistice Terms. Copenhagen, Nov. :15.?The Politi ken quotes the British military at tache here, Col.

MAY MEET IN FRANCE. Versailles-Paris Suggesteel for Peace Conference. Paris, Nov. 14 (By the Associated Press).?The general feeling of the associated governments is that Ver sailles-Paris is the most conven ient place to hold the peace confer ence and if this were decided upon it also would serve as a recognition of the paramount position of France in the war. In addition to these consideratiom there are certain practical ones of telegraph and cable facilities and easy communication between the cap ital and the ample living accommo dations as compared with those in the smaller Holland and Switzerland cities. Agcaes of the various allied coun tries already are seeking large houses in Paris for their delegations. The American representation will move from the small residence which Colo nel House and his staff now occupy to one much larger. It is probable that the first meet ing of the peace congress will be held after the English parliamentary elections, and at a time which will give ample opportunity for the American and other delegates to ar rive. A meeting to be held shortly after the interallied conference will finally determine the details of these questions. Premier David Lloyd George "ana Foreign Minister Balfour of Great Britain; Premier Orlando and For eign Minister Sonnino of Italy; Pre mier Venizelos of Greece and For eign Minister Pachitch of Serbia are on their way here for a resumption of the conferences at the home of Col. Edward M. House, special rep resentative of the United States gov ernment and the sessions at Ver sailles. Besides outlining the general pro gram of the congress, the question of meeting the food situation in Ger many and Austria probably will be considered. WILHELMINA IX TROUBLE.

OFF FOR EUROPE TO CONSIDER QUESTION OF FEEDING e PEOPLE. First Task on Reaching Other Side Will be Most Urgent Need for Food and Reconstruction Materials in Northern France and Belgium?! Shipping Details Also Important. \ - I Washington, Nov. 14.?Food ad ministrator Hoover and Chairman Hurley of the shipping board will | sail Saturday on the White Star liner j Olympic for Europe to study prob-j !ems connected with the interallied program for feeding the people of Northern France. Belgium, Central Europe and the Near East. Mr. Hcover, who at the request oi the president, will organize and direct America's part in the work, will leave tomorrow for New York, while Mr. Hurley left tonight. During the day they were in conference with Secre tary Lansing and it was understood that diplomatic matters connected \\..n the food program and the amount of tonnage available for transporting relief supplies were dis cussed. One of Mr. Hover's first tasks when he reaches Europe will he to ascer tain the most urgent need for food and reconstruction materials in Northern France and Belgium. Chair man Hurley will devote most of hit time to conferring with shipping of ficials in Great Britain and France regarding the allocation of shippinr; necessary for carrying out whatever program is determined upon. At the food administration today it was said that ships are now leav ing American ports and Argentine with greatly increased supplies of food for Northern France and Bel gium and that food for the peoples of Central Europe and the Near East will go forward as quickly as ship ping tonnage is made available. Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor, representative oi both the food administration and the war trade board, is accompanying Mr. Hoover and will go to the Bal kans to direct relief work there. In addition to this program, the United States, it was stated today will continue to carry out its food agreements with the various neutrals. Holland and Switzerland are said tc I be still badly in need of supplies. I while the economic agreements with j Sweden, Norway and Denmark still I are in force. j Shipping board officials estimated ;todav that the signing of the armis i - ftice with Germany will result in the I release of about 1,500.000 tons of ad ditional shipping for carrying supplies to needy counti-ies. Of this amount 1,200,000 tons is represented by Ger man ships tied up in Germany or neutral ports. Austria is believed to havs 250,000 tons of shipping in it: porns. The United States, it was said, soon can furnish 100,000 tons of shipping for relief work, while Great Britain and France also are expected to be able to divert some tonnage to this trade. In addition, many neutral ships held in port by the submarine mqnace will again be put to sea and Japan may be asked to supply what ever of its tonnage it can for the re lief trade. Mr. Hurley will be accompanied to Europe by John E. Barber, assistant to the chairman: Yv'ilmer Boiling, as sistant treasurer, and William F. Gibbs of the shipping control board THE RESTORATION OF FRANCE. Proposition that German Prisoners Should be Made to Repair Damage They Made. Behind the American Lines, Oct. 25 (Correspondence of The Associat ed Press)?Recommendation that the American military authorities in France should, aft~r the . war, take charge of reestablishing the devastat ed regions of France and that Ger man prisoners should be made to re pair the damages they did in Fran'ce. will be made by the American Agri cultural Commission now here. "We are going to report to the secretary of war and the secretary of agriculture," said W. O. Thompson, president of Ohio State University, and chairman of the commission, "that the work of rehabilitating the devastated territory is an army prob lem and that the military authorities shouid deal with it. "The problem of tilling the land which has been the scene of the bat tles is a very serious one for it is filled with unexploded shells. The fruit trees have been completely erad icated by ruthless felling. You can charge indemnities but you cannot get land ready to plough without dan ger. "The Germans should take the risk as part of the price to be paid for their wanton devastations. From the economic point of view, if we al low German prisoners to return home to reinforce Germany without this French rehabilitation, Germany has again the lead on France. France is left flat on her back and Germany gets a long start. Even after suffer ing military defeat, she wins an eco nomic victory. "This devastation was admittedly intended to ruin France so that she | could not recover for years, while j Germany untouched is ready to profit by her breaches of international law. Yet, as this commission sees Mt, as soon as the country is ready for ag ricultural restoration, the agricultur al population will be on the spot waiting to rebuild their shattered farms and farm equipment. "They are pitifuly attached to their homesteads though in thousands of cases there is only the cellar re maining. Though not their war alone. France and Belgium have furnished i the battlefield. We are here to fight! with France for our common defense.! the battlefield being furnished by circumstances. The restoration of! those battlefield farm lands is an in- j ter-ally problem." * Menial for Pcrshing. Paris. Nov. 16, 2.15 P. M.?Ambas sador Sharp, General Bliss, and Ad miral Benson went to American main headquarters today to present to Gen. Pershing the American distinguished service medal. OHE FOB PE1CE G0N6RESS. CONDITIONS CAUSE ALLIES TO ACT QUICKLY IN ARRANG ING PROGRAM. Belief Growing Tliat President Wil son Will Attend But Not as Dele gate?Secretary Lansing Sure to Go^ Washington, Nov. 15.?Develop ments in Europe, not only in the mili tary way, but in the field of internat ional policies, and the tendency of the revolutionary spirit manifested by the demoralized civilian population of the Central empires to spread to neighboring States have influenced the ailied and American governments I to arrange for the" meeting at an I early date of the great peace con gress. The Atlantic cables were burdened j t;day with government business be lieved to have been made up for the most part of exchanges between Washingon and Paris where the in terallied council is endeavoring to reach an agreement as to the time and place for holding the conference, and the conditions under which it shall be held, and the nations that shall be admitted to participation. Consideration of this last question probably will occupy much time, for almost every day witnesses the brith of a new State. There has been ! a disposition to delay the holding of the peace conference .until the politi cal situation in Europe had some what crystalized, but it was under stood today that other considerations finally led to a decision by the asso ciated governments to proceed to as semble the conference at the earliest date that can be set, having regard to the difficulty of ensuring the at tendance of commission^ or delegates at Versailles, which seems most like ly to be selected as the place of the meeting. One reason suggested for the" change of decision is the necessity of restoring their channels of trade and industry in the late enemy States, so as to afford employment to labor and thereby relieve the threat of Bol shevism and anarchy. Another is the general desire now expressed hy all of the allied populations of the cen tral powers from the danger of fam ine, it being recognized that this re lief work can best be carried on after formal peace treaties have been ne gotiated. There also has been some apprehension that delay in the con summation of peace would have an injurious effect upon industries in America and the allied countries. With the assurance of an 'early as sembly of the peace conference at tention today turned to the composi tion of the American commission. The belief is growing that President Wil ? son will attend, but probably not in i the capacity of a delegate or commis sioner. It is known that Secretary Lansing will head the American com : mission and Col. E. M. House, Justice Louis- Brandeis and Elihu Root, form er Secretary of State, were mention ed as others likely to be selected. Besides the delegates a number of army and navy officers must be nam led to assist the commission. In that connection attention has been direct ed r.o the names of Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, former chief of staff and now American representative on the su preme war council; Major Gen. Enoch Crowder, judge advocate general and provost marshal, a veteran of The Hague conference, and Brig. Gen. Samuel Ansell, acting judge advocate general, and Vice Admiral Wm. ^S. Sims, Capt. Ridley McLean, formerly judge advocate of the navy. James Brown Scott, former solici tor of the department of State and at present secretary of the Carnegei Endowment for International Peace, and also a participant in the last j conference at The Hague, is believed to be under consideration as secre tary for the American commission, There will, of course, be at least two assistant secretaries and considerable number of attaches and clerks. If congress is to be represented id the commission, as was the case at the \ Paris conference in 1898, when peace treaties between the United : State and Spain were drawn, the I fact has not yet developed. On the contrary, it was said that there is a decided disinclination to involve the legislative branch of the government in any way in +.he work of construct ing treaties which is regarded as a purely executive function under the terms of the constitution. It also was recalled today that the senate it self not many years ago recorded its formal objection to the appointment by the president of any of its members as commissioners to negotiate agree ments which must afterwards come before it for approval. Notice has been taken by officials here of the demand by certain So cialistic elements, not only in Europe but in America to have labor partici pate in thee peace congress. Officials were understood to hold that to i recognize labor in this way would be j to establish class distinction which ! would ?e thoroughly un-American. ! On the other hand it was said that by the appointment to the peace commission of a man, such as Justice Brandeis. for instance, known, to be an ardent friend and champion of la bor ac all times, the interests of the working classes would be sure of con servation. It was made plain today that the selection of Secretary Lansing to head the American commisSon is not to be taken as an indication of his pur pose to resign his present office. In his absence Counsellor Frank L. Polk is expected to act as Secretary ci State. BUCHAREST WILL CELEBRATE. Allied Forces Will Make Triumphal Entry into Roumanian Capital. Paris.
