Hostilities have given way to preparations by the defeated enemy to
evacuate all invaded territory in accordance with the terms of the armistice
and by the entente forces to take up the strategic positions assigned to them
in order that the foe may be unable to resume fighting.
Although the British, Belgian, French and American armies are resting
on their arms, they, nevertheless, are on the alert for any eventuality. And

As the German armies in the west wend their way backward across the

faces the war-torn empire. Germany, which once boasted that it would throw

today is begging not alone for peace, but for bread.

be
Such n suggestion
without precedent.
It was pointed out today that there are
physical difficulties in hastily convening
a peace conference which will include rep-
resentatives of all the nations which ha\e
formally dc hired war on Germany. A
conference limited to envoys of the allied
governments ana the i'nited states might
be held at a reasonably early date, perhaps
within a mouth, if It is limited to a lew
urgent issues.
One consideration in the minds of Ainer
lean officials relates to the status of the
German government itself. The President
already haw referred to this as fluid, and
the course of the Russian revolutionists
liss emphasized, It was said, the need of
caution in securing assurance of t.he sta-
bility of any government with which per-
manent peace treaties are negotiiited.
The Amerloan «nd allied governments
actually have recognised the Social Demo-
cratic government at Berlin, headed by
Frledrieh Fhelt. as the de facto govern-
ment of Germany by conceding its author
ity to authorise the armistice delegates to
sign that document. Rut developments in
Germany have caused apprehension that
Russian history may be repeated there and
the present government replaced by a Sol-
diers' and Workmen's Council or commit-
tee, which could not he recognized by the
allies or the United States, becaus it woUid i
be essentially a class government.

DEMOBILIZATION OF MEN IN
ARMY AND NAVY PLANNED
Continued From P.i|«« One.
today, that with the ending of hoatilifleft '
there will be a great resumption of private !
construction ami manufacturing held up I
and restricted because of war work, ami i
that thoUHHiids of skilled laborers soon I
will be needed in all purts of the countrv '
lor this work. Secretary llaker said today
every phase of demobilization of the army
is being carefully studied by War Depart-
ment agencies, but as yet no plans have
been formally formulated. The only or
ders so far issued curtailing war work
deal with proje.-ts upon which work has
not actually started, he said.
The question of the number of American
troops to ho retained in Prance or else-
where in Europe Is belug studied on that
side. Mr. Maker said, while the general
staff is preparing recommendations as to
the number to be under arms in this coun-
try. The problem in Kurope rem alii* of I
join? operations with the allied nation* in i
after the war guarding and other work to I
be done I y the military forces, and no I
conHuiilona on this point can yet he made.
Mr. Maker said several factors will
govern the or or in which men will be re-
based from the army. It is obvioun, lie
said, that, as a matter of justice, ineji
who had been longest In the service should
he released first, but the industtial situa-
tion and the special need for men of a cer-
tain calling probably will modify the prin
ciple or making length of service a guide
to order of raustei-out.
Labor Department officials are confident
that the demobilization of the 4.000.000 men
now under arms »t home and overseas and
the conversion of industry to its peace
status will not cause any serious problem
of unemployment.
