tioM, under which conscription will
not be necessary in any country." I
At a meeting of coalition Liberal ,
peers and commoners to-day Premier j
Lloyd George outlined his reconstruc- j
lion policy, saying the victory must be
utilized as an impetus to reform*. A j
great rehousing programme waa neces- I
?wy, he said; the hours of labor must
be reduced, a minimum trage Intro?
duced and production increased
through land reform.
The Prime Minister also foreshad?
owed a large development in transport
and said that there was value in the
p-revj.il in g -evolutionary spirit if wise- j
ly directed. It must be combated by |
national unity, cooperation and sacri- j
fi-ce. He said he feared neither r?volu- j
ties nor Bolshevism, but he did fear j
reaction and dissension. Mere party
considera-jom? were unseemly, he said,
declaring he wanted a united govern?
ment representing all parties.
Scouts Economic War
In regard to free trade, Lloyd
George said he did not purpose to go
as far as the Paris resolutions. The ?
third of President Wilson's points, he !
contended, prevented any idea of an
economic war.
Irish Home Eule was essential, he
?declared, but there must be no coercion
of Northeastern Ulster.
The Premier concluded by stating
that the watchword of the government
waa progress. He said ho must have
the support of the Literals.
The meeting unanimously pledged
support to Lloyd George and the coali- ?
tion government during the period of ;
reconstruction. The Premier received j
a remarkable ovation.
A meeting of tho Unionist party to?
day voted confidence in Chancellor
Bonar Law after the latter had an- j
nounced that he purposed recommend?
ing the continuation of tho present co?
alition government.
Peace Council to
Hold World's Fate,
Says Robert Cecil,
LONDON, Nov. 13.?Lord Robert Cecil,
Assistant Secretary for Foreign Affairs, !
in an address yesterday on the subject
of a league of nations declared that j
the Allies had in their hands the po- I
litical future of the entire world. On
their decisions, he added, might de?
pend the peace and happiness of many
generations. The most glorious victory, ;
ho continued, would scarcely be dis- j
tinguishable from defeat unleBS by it ,
there were laid the foundations of a j
lasting peace.
The suggo^ted league of nations, '?
eaid Lord Robert, could not be re- ;
8tricted to a certain group of nations,
but must be open to every nation which
could be trusted by it? fellows. It
would bo incomplete, and proportion- i
ately ineffective, unless every civilized
nation joined 't.
Lord Robert said the machinery to
enforce the principles was the real ?
problem. He thought, however, that:
all that would ne necessary would be
a treaty, binding the signatories never
themselves to wage war or to permit
otherato*WagQ war until a formal con?
ference of nations had been held to
inquire into and. if possible, decide
upon the disnute.

Peace Programme Expected
To Be Fixed Before Parley
-\
Smaller Nations Are Likely to Get Consideration Only
After Issues of Central Powers and T?rke* Are Decided ;
Austro-Hungarian Problerii Most Dicicult of All
(Special Dispatch to Tha Tribune)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-?The pro?
gramme of the peace conference will
be arranged between the Allies and the
United Stetes before the sessions are
inaugurated, in the belief of diplo?
mats here. Previous understanding
upon tho subjects to be treated and
the ordor in which they are to be dis?
cussed ia held to he necessary; in the
first placo, to save time and also to
avoid confusion.
There is difference of opinion con?
cerning whether the smaller nations
should receive first consideration or
the great powers. In as much, how?
ever, as the problems of the smaller
states involve questions quite as diffi?
cult of solution as those of the bigger
nations, it is generally believed "the
order of settlements will take the fol?
lowing form:
Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey,
Bulgaria.
The German problem alone, never?
theless, brings in its train a multitude
of dependent problems, and will con?
sume considerable time in liquidation.
The order in which these subsidiary
questions will be dealt with is likely
to be: Alsace-Lorraine restored to
France; prescription of reparations to
be made to France and Belgium on ac?
count of the occupation of French and
Belgian territories, including both
sums of money to be paid to each of
these countries, and also restitution
of industrial and agricultural ma?
chinery and implements; disposition of
the German fleet; designation of tho
territories in Prussia to be restored to
Poland, including an outlet to the sea
for Poland through German territory;
determiri tion of the question of Ger?
man colonies.
Austrian Issues Difficult
There probably will be settled at the
same time the question of the union of
the Grand Duchy of Luxumburg with
Belgium, and possibly the rectifica?
tion of the Belgio-German frontier in
Belgium's favor.
The problems arising from the
Austro-Hungarian situation appear to
be still more difficult than in the case
of Germany, on account of the various
nationalities which .heretofore have
been included in that empire.
Bohemia already has been recognized
as an independent state, but its boun?
daries must be defined. Italy has oc?
cupied tho territories of Italia Irre?
denta, but possession of them must be
ratified by the congress, which will
have to act as judge in respect of the
conflicting claims of Italy and Serbia,
and also of Italy and Greece, first in
respect of so-called Jugo-Slav regions
on the eastern coast of the Adriatic, as
well as Avlona, in Albania; and, sec?
ondly, in respect of the Greek claims
to Albanian Epirus, and to territories
on the Asia Minor coast, although the
last named arises from the Turkish
problem.
The Adriatic question promises to be
one of the most difficult of the war.
Italy not only lays claim to eastern
Adriatic territories by reason of senti?
ment, as in the case of undisputed
Italia Irredenta, but also for reasons
of national safety, the eastern shore
providing the only means of effective
protection of Italy's present shores, on
account of the unadaptability of the
western shore for strategic defences
and naval bases. These are liberally
cared for, naturally, on the opposite
shore, and among the countless islands
heretofore belonging to Austria-Hun?
gary. 3
Serbia To Get Territory
Serbia is expected to be awarded
Bosnia and Herzegovina without any
stipulations, as an act of justice, as
?in the case of Alsace-Lorraine and un?
disputed Italia Irredenta.
The question of the future status of
tho Croats and Slovenes, however, is
undecided, and it is possible that a
plebiscite in their territories will have
to be taken to discover the will cf the
peoples.
The Croatians, according to some of
their leading representatives in this
country, including Dr. Hinko Hinko
vitch, appear to desire no union with
Serbia, as provided for in the declara?
tion of Corfu, but complete inde?
pendence. Conflicting reports have
been received of the expressions of
the desires of the will of the Croatians
in Croatia.
It is assumed that Poland will re?
ceive a liberal grnnt of Austrian terri?
tory, and possibly also Ukrainia, if it
elects to remain independent, will b?
given a portion of Galicia inhabited bj
Ruthenians or Ukrainians.
Hungary is not expected to reunite
with Austria, but to establish its owr
independence, and there is a questior
whether German Austria will be satis
fled to become a small independen'
sta'te or desire to unite itself with Ger
many. It is not questioned that th<
major part of Transylvania and a par
of Bukowina, inhabited by Rumanians
will be joined to Rumania.
While the Turkish problem appear!
to be comparatively simple, it prom
ises many difficulties. England am
Franco have ?lready pegged claims t<
Mesopotamia and Syria, respectively
but their claims must be approved b*
the conference.
Palestine is to become an independen
state, in all probability, but it is i
question whether Arabia is prepare?
for independence and absolute self
government or should be placed unde:
the tutelage of the powers.
Armenia Presents Problem
The same questions exist in the cas'
of Armenia. There will be prolongci
disputes, it is believed, over the dis
position to be made of the Asia Mino
coast, part of which Greece demand?
setting up the right of nationality, an?
which Italy also claims, under th
treaty of London, as in the case o
England and France with regard t?
Mesopotamia and Syria. The questioi
of the future status of Constantinopl
has not been decided, n*>r has th
status of Turkey, its territories an?
reparations it must make.
The case of Bulgaria also is ex
tremely difficult of solution, as th?
settlement to be made must have il
i view the just determination of na
j tionalities in the Balkans and th<
i future Balkan peace. Rumania, Greec.
and Serbia will receive extensive addi
tions of territory and of population
Bulgaria, instead of the strongest, a
she has been, will become the weakes
Balkan state. There is a possibiht;
that a Balkan confederation will *b
formed ?nd that the powers wiil im
pose certain guarantees as a mcasitir
of insuring the peace in that part O
the world. ?
Russia's Case Separate .
Russin'? case will be examined inde
penduntly, as well as in connectio
with the Turkish problem. Presiden
Wilson has declared for an outlet t
the sea for Russia that will relieve he
from the dependency in which she ha
been placed in the past on the port
of other countries. It is not know
whether she will receive free use o
Constantinople, or whether that citj
together with th? Dardanelles, will b
given to her in accordance with the
provisions of the treaty of London.
It is believed, however, that Con?
stantinople, the Straits and the Bos?
porus will be internationalized, and
that, instead of receiving any substan?
tial increase of territories, Russia will
lose quite extensive areas, in addition
to Russian Poland, Finland and pos
sibly the Ukraine. Other Russian prov- ?
inces aspire to independence, provinces
inhabited by distinct nationalities,;
which may become border states -if;
buffers between Russia and Germany. '
Such questions as freedom of the I
seas and the League of Nations, it is
thought, will be the last to be con?
sidered and settled. They will require,
publicists believe, a longer time to be
Lettled than those relating to enemy j
countries.
It is regarded as possible that special
conferences may have to be called "to
determine the future relations of na- '
tions to one another under a written
constitution creating a league of na?
tions, and that a separate conference
will have to codify international law,
as the views of the European conti?
nentals on the one hand, and of Eng?
land on the other; and of the United
States in opposition to those of both
Europe and England, are so different
that in order to arrive at a common
agreement, considerable examination of
the recognized-?body of international
law will have to be undertaken by ex- ?
pert legists.
The views of all nations which may
become signatory; to the league, of na- !
tions convention may thhs be so modi?
fied as to make an acceptable code pos?
sible. Every rule applicable must be
declared, nothing being left to the
judgment of the administrators of the
law except enforcing respect for it. .
There will be no application of rules
of equity unless explicitly provided
for, and no adaptation of common law |
rules.
The League of Nations Convention ;
is not expected to be a perpetual
treaty but limited for a definite pe- ,
riod, as it will be an experimental un?
dertaking but containing provisions
both for amendments and for renewal
at the expiration of the time limit, or
before, as is usually the case in trea
ties of allegiance. It is not, however, I
likely to contain a provision permit- I
ting any signatory to denounce it. j
Economic Issues Also
Another important feature of the
peace conference will be its considera?
tion of economic questions. For a very
considerable period after the war all
?the present belligerent nations, with
the sole exception of the United States
and Japan, will be engaged in works of
reconstruction of a magnitude never
before conceived. The interdependence
of the powers will be greater than
ever imagined. The entire fabric of
international cooperation might, con?
ceivably, be wrecked on the recks of
competition, if it is to be merciless
and inexorable.
On the economic phase of the after-;
the-war conditions, the United States,;
the most favorably situated and con?
ditioned of all the belligerents, is
looked to to exercise a most wholesome
influence. The economic power of the
country will be felt in the political de?
cisions of the peace conference, as each
of the Allied nations, no less than the
Central Powers, will lean upon the as- I
sistance of America.
The smaller Allied nations are op?
posed to economic leagues directed
against the Central Powers. One Bal?
kan diplomat said to-day that his coun?
try has a certain prospect of disposing
of its agricultural products to the Cen?
tral Powers at prices more profitable
than they could obtain from England
and France, and that if they should be
obliged to sell to the latter their in?
terests would suffer materially. Presi?
dent Wilson is understood also to be
opposed to an economic league and to
favor n policy of consideration and ac?
commodation. t

German Army Fears
Wrath of Alsatians
Teuton High Command Ap?
peals to French to Prevent
Possible Outbreak
(Special Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.?The French
High Command, says a telegram from
Paris to-day, has received the follow?
ing message from the German High
Command:
"The French population of Alsace
Lorraine at certain points is assuming
a hostile attitude toward the German
troops on the march. In order to avoid
regrettable collisions, please send wire?
less messages urging the population of
Alsace-Lorraine to remain calm."
This communication from the Ger?
man army command is believed to be
the first recognition by Germany of the
loyalty of Alsace-Lorrainers to France.
STRASBURG, Alsace-Lorraine, Nov.
18.?Members of the second chamber
of Alsace-Lorraine have constituted
themselves into a national council. A
provisional executive committee has
been appointed.
Asks Trieste Plebiscite
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.?Dr. Bnju
mil Vosnjak, member of the Jugo-Slav
committee at London, filed to-day with
the Senate Foreign Relations Commit?
tee a memorandum urging the United
States to work out the political destiny
of the inhabitants of Trieste and the
surrounding territory occupied by Italy
as a result of the armistice with Aus?
tria-Hungary. He claims that the ter?
ritory is largely made up of Jugo-Slavs.
Dr. Vosnjak suggested that the occu?
pational army be composed of Ameri?
can troops and that a plebiscite under
the auBpices of this government be
held for the.purppse of determining
upon the form of government to be
established there. Such a plan, he
said, would "bring a dangerous politi?
cal problem to its natural solution."

Two Premiers
Ask Wilson to
Attend Parley
Lloyd George and Clemen?
ceau Want Him at Open?
ing Peace Sessions
President Undecided,
But Considers Plan
His Official Family Urges
Him Not to Take the
Risk
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.?It is un?
derstood that Premiers Lloyd George
and Clemenceau pressingly have sug?
gested that the President should at
least attend the opening sessions of the
peace conference.
The President, it was said to-day,
has given no indication of how he re?
gards the suggestion, though some of
those usually well informed believe
that he has an open mind on the sub?
ject and may give it consideration.
Members of the President's official
family are understood to be strongly
advising him against the step, on the
ground that it would involve useless
risk and would accomplish nothing that
could not be accomplished through
delegates the President might select to
represent America at the peace table
and with whom he could keep in touch
by cable and wireless.
Precedent for Action
There are no definite constitutional
obstacles to the President's participa?
tion in a peace conference to be held
in Europe or -at any point outside of
the United States.
On more than one occasion the Chief
Executive has gone beyond the terri?
torial limits of the United States with?
out thereby ceasing to exercise his
functions. President RooSevelt visited
the Canal Zone, President Taft crossed
the St. Lawrence into Canada and
President Benjamin Harrison crossed
the Rio Grande to meet Presdent Diaz
of Mexico.
The Constitution itself is silent on
the subject of Presldental journeys
outside of the American border; nor
is there any statute in the nature of a
prohibition.
Lansing Also to Go
However, it has been contended
that the absence of the President
from the country actually creates such
a vacancy in the office as to fall within
the section of the Constitution which ;
clothes the Vice-President with author?
ity to discharge the duties of the of?
fice during the inability of the Presi?
dent to function.
Should President Wilson decide to go
to Europe, probably it would be for
himself to determine Whether he would
continue to discharge the duties of his
Presidential office, relying upon cable
and radio communications to keep in
constant touch with Washington.
Solf Proposal Opposed
The proposal of Dr. Solf, the German,
Foreign Secretary, for a preliminary
peace conference had not reached
Washington in official form to-night,
but it is understood that there is
little probability of its acceptance.
Such a conference is regarded here as
unnecessary, and as likely to uselessly
complicate the work of the general
conference.
In some quarters it is suspected that
Dr. Solf's real purpose is to have the
preliminary conference dispose of
political matters, such as the future of
the German colonies and trade rela?
tions between the Central Powers and
the nations with> which they had been
at war, in the hope of being able thus
speedily to re-establish German for?
eign trade.
Why Kaisers Left' Thrones
T ONDON, Nov. 13. ?A pub?
lished statement, ..which the
former German Emperor wishes
to be regarded as his reason for
going to Holland, says that the
journey was not a flight, accord?
ing to an Amsterdam dispatch to
"The Daily Telegraph."
His departure from Germany
was actuated by a desire to facili?
tate the work of the new govern?
ment by ridding them of any em?
barrassment his presence in Ger?
many might cause, such as an at?
tempt to make him the centre of
a royalist agitation.
/"COPENHAGEN, Nov. 13.?
^-*** Emperor Charles of Austria
issued this proclamation:
"Filled with an unalterable
love of my peoples, I will not,
with my person, be a hindrance to
their free development. I ac?
knowledge the decision taken by
German-Austria to form a sepa?
rate state.
"May the German-Austrian
people realize harmony from the
new adjustment. The happiness
of my peoples was my aim from
the beginning. My warmest
wishes are that an internal peace
will be able to heal the wound?*
of this war."
Ex-Kaiser, in
Holland, Drops
Former Titles
Continued from Tage 1
that he was allowed to take only his |
personal property from his train, the j
non-personal property which was
brought to Holland being confiscated,
as is usual in internment cases. Re?
cent dispatches have stated that the
former Emperor had taken a carload
of archives with him into Holland.
Holland's hesitancy is dealing with
the ex-Kaiser is ascribed to the ex?
tremely indefinito state of public opin?
ion in Holland by the Amsterdam cor- f
respondent of "The Mail." He says
that German revolutionary soldiers
along the Dutch frontier say that they
were ordered to prevent the former
Emperor and his family from escaping
into Holland.
The deposed Gorman Emperor prob?
ably will remain only a short time at
the castle of Amerongen, in Holland,
according to well-informed Dutch cir?
cles. The correspondent at Amster?
dam of "The Daily Mail" says it is
believed that if the necessary arrange?
ments can be made the former Em?
peror will reside permanently at the
Villa of Achilleion, on the Island of
Corfu.
Villa Is Serbian Headquarters
The villa "on Corfu, which lies off
the southwestern coast of Albania, was
acquired by Wilhelm in 1907, after the
death of Empress Elizabeth of Austria,
for whom it was built in 1890. So far
as known, the villa, which has been the
headquarters of the Serbians, still is
under occupation by the Allies.
A dispatch to the Central News
from Amsterdam says William Hohen?
zollern took a walk this morning, ac?
companied by officers. Later he went
motoring, followed by a car contain?
ing Dutch officers.
The correspondent says the ex-Em?
peror appears to have resigned him?
self to his new life.
Two enormous motor lorries arrived
to-day with Hohenzollern baggage,
which consisted of a large number of
trunks and cases.
Arrives at Utrecht
Hohenzollern, according to an As?
sociated Press dispatch from Amster?
dam, arrived Monday afternoon at the
Castle of Amerongen, Count von
Bentinck's country seat at Maarn, in
the Province of Utrecht.
Soon after 4 o'clock a special train
stopped at the little country station
near the castle. Count von Bentinck
awaited his guest in an automobile.
It was raining as the former Emperor,
dressed in a gray general's uniform
with red cuffs and fur collar, but no
orders or medals, and carrying a cane,
stepped from the train and was greeted
by the count.
Amerongen Castle, where the former
Emperor is living, is a splendid old
place with luxuriously adorned apart?
ment;. Louis XIV of France spent a
nigb t ?ere in 1672.
_A_, ?_ * aSed generals accompanied
William Hohenzollern on his flight to ?
Holland. When they reached the fron- |
tier they were stopped by Dutch fron- !
tier guard.?, who sent for General On- ;
ncn, chief of the internment service,;
and some local authorities. After be- ?
ing introduced to the former Emper- I
or. General Onnen entered the auto?
mobile, which had crossed t e frontier,
and drove off. The bystanders hissed
the former German war lord. One of
the generals in the party was in tears ;
when the group drove away.
Grand Duke Ernst
Of S axe-Weimar
Quits His Throne
BASEL, Nov. 13.--A dispatch from
Berlin says Grand Duke William
Ernst of Saxe-Weimar has abdicated
in order to prevent civil war.
The dispatch adds that' republics
have been proclaimed in Wurtemberg
and Hesse.
The new government in Baden has
been constituted under the presidency
of the Socialist, Herr Jeiss.
The. former Grand Duke William
Ernst is forty-two years old. Saxc
Weimar is in central Germany, in
Thuringia. Among the important towns
in the Grand Duchy are Weimar, which
is the capital, and Jena, the famous
university town.

(Special Cable to The Tribune)
LONDON, Nov. 18.?Emperor Charles
and his crowd are the last of the Ions
list of kings who have been falling in
the Central Empires like ripe apple?.
With the publication of the armis?
tice terms came the swift recognition
of the Teuton royal families that their
presence on the thrones only damag d
Germany's chances in the peace nego?
tiations, and those who were not forced
to abdicate at the point of the red flag
decided to follow the Kaiser's example.
News from Germany reveals the
agreement between the moderate and
extreme Socialists pinning down the
latter's support of the government,
though tbe terms upon which this was
agrped were made to have a Bolshevik
ring.
It is also revealed that the policies
of Ehert's governments are aimed at
an understanding with Russia.
The Bolshevik Ambassador, JoiTe,
has triumphantly re?ntered Berlin,
which pleases the German Bolsheviks,
but the moderates also desire to make
Russia believe that the Allies are Rus- ?
sia's enemies, while Germany is her
friend. Some of the German and Rus?
sian Bolsheviks go so far as to talk of
a common resistance to the western
powers <>n the same lines as the for- I
mer Bolshevik resistance to the Ger- j
mans.
Most significan* was the decision of i
the German government to follow the
Soviet system and to adjourn in?
definitely the election of the Constitu?
ent Assembly. It is hoped the Soviets
are organized by GeTmans accustomed

Musician Says Chaos
Prevails in Russia
Serge Rachmaninoff, former conduc?
tor at the Imperial Opera House of
Petrograd and Moscow, who made his
way to this country with his wife and
two children only after undergoing se?
vere privations, said yesterday the con?
dition of his country would excite only
pity in the minds of every one, were it
truthfully known. Nothing but chaos
has reigned there for months, he said,
and the sufferings of those who have
remained through it all have been
beyond description.
The distinguished composer, who is i
staying at the Hotel Netherland, left:
Russia with his family and only such ?
clothing as they wore.
Ag fast as they can escape, promi?
nent Russians, M. Rachmaninoff said,
are fleeing to Sweden and Denmark. ;
Each month Russia is being left morel
and more to the plunderers, he added. !
