Conference. SOLFS PROPOSAL TO PROBABLY BE REJECTED His Plea as to Food Already Taken Care of by the Allied Powers WASHINGTON. Not. 13. Presi dent Wilson was said today to have gtven no indication as to how he re-, tarda , the suggestion from high sources In Europe that he attend the great conference which Is to re-es tablish tne peace or a war-torn world. ' .-, ' Most of the president's advisers. however, are understood to consider that acceptance of the Invitations would involve needless risk and would ; serve no purpose that could not be accomplished through the del egates who will be appointed to re present the American government and who will be In constant com munication with Washington. Should the president decide to at tend the conference and some of those usually well informed say he has an open mind in the subject thta fact would not mean, la the be lief here, that Secretary Lansing would not be a member bf the Amer ican delegation. It was said that poa Mr. Lansing would fall much of the weight of the heavy tasks connected with American participa tion in the conference, not only by virtue of. the high rank, but also be cause of his wide experience In otn-; tr International conferences and ar-j bltraUont. - The proposal of Dr. Solf, German ! . foreign secretary, for a preliinfnaty peace conference, has not reached 1 Washington Ja official form tonight, but it is nnderstood there Is little probability of its acceptance. Such a conference Is regarded here as un necessary and as likely to complicate sselessly the work of the general conference. ; - Ostensibly Dr. Solf'a proposal Is based upon the urgent need of Ger many for food and other supplies, hut It Is pointed out that these con dition! will be dealt with by the United States and the allies in ad vance of the peace conference under the general pladges contained In the armistice and given by the supreme war council at Versailles. Further assurance on this subject is given by the German government by Secretary Lansing, who in a note handed today to the Swiss minister ia reply to one from Frederick Ebert the German chancellor, said the pres ident Is ready to consider favorably the supplying of foodstuffs to Ger many and to take up the matter with the allied governments upon assur ances that public order will be main tained In Germany and an equitable CiOrlbutlon of the food is guaran teed. .". la come quarters here It is sus sed that Dr. Solf's real purpose to have the preliminary confer ence dispose of political matters. nch as the future of the German felonies and trade relations between the central powers and the nations ltfc which thev had been at war. in the hope bf being able thus to speed ily re-establish tbe German foreign trade All the eld treaties of amity and wmmerce under which International trade have been conducted between t warring nations have been de coyed by the war and a whole new fabric of trade treaties must be pro- Ths peace conference may signify Ideas as to how this shall be framed, but It will remain for the individual nations to give these ideas Concrete form; In snerlal treaties.

Nov. 13 Official. here estimate that the total casual ties of the American Expeditionary forces In .the war will not exceed ivu.uuo. including men killed Jn ac tion, wounded, died of wounds, dis ease, accidents and the missing who iu never ie accounted for. Some of those who have been missing pro bably wjil be accounted for when the prisoners are returned from Ger many. It was said today it will nrobablr be several weeks before the record of casualties can be completed. It Is regarded as almost certain that many of .the casultleg In the recent heavy fighting by the first and second Am erican armies have not been reported. Ltlsts also must be complied of un reported A mericaff casual ties in Bri tish and French hospitals, especially among the. United States forces bri gaded with allied units. Deaths from wounds also probably will be reported for some time while lists of slightly wounded being sent by cour iers may be delayed. The lists ' for several days have consisted of approximately 1100 names daily. Secretary Baker has indicated that a considerable num ber of reported casualties remain to be given out but these will be re leased as rapidly as newspapers can handle them. An unofficial tabulation of cas ualty lists, including those of No vember 12, shows a grand total of 71.390 men. Estimates based on previous rec ords fix the (otal casualties in France at less than 5000. . Revolution in Berlin h Still in Chaotic Stage (By STke Attodated Preu) AMSTERDAM. Nov. 13. Berlin advices dated Sunday are that In Its outward aspects the revoluton as ob served In Berlin is still In a chaotic stage. The reichstag, which Is the soldiers' and workmens' headquat ters, had been converted Into an ar med camp. Hastily organized and equipped squads of red guards were J blvouackeed In the richly carpeted lounging corridors. Travellstained soldiers and sailors slept close to stacked rifles or sat in luxurious arm chairs munching chunks of army bread. Every inch of the floor space of the big gilded dome building was devoted to some phase of the revolutionary organiza tion committe. The room Is one in which formerly reactionary cam paigns were planned were similarly employed. There have been no clashing be tween civilians and red guards. The armed conflicts have been confined to the revolutionary army and off! cers In concealment, assisted. It Is said, by cadets and boy scouts. The new government strained every nerve to organize public utilities and in this matter no complications were antlcipateed. . Incoming trains Sunday continued to debark detachments of soldiers. sailors and bourgeoise. Parliamen tary leaders were still absent. r 1 Order Arises Oat of Anarchy in Germany BERNE. Nov. 13. (Havas) The Wolff bureau dispatches from Berlin declare that order appears to rule .everywhere In Germany and that acts . of anarchy have ceased. The majororlties and minorities have di vided authority between them, but the minorities have been relegated to second place, it appears. The ma jorities are charged with preparing the organization of a German re public. Expulsion from Berne of a Bolshe- vlkl diplomatic mission was carried out in the presence of an Inquisitive crowd. Automobiles containing members of the mission were escorted-on the way by Infantry detach ments In motor trucks. Abolition of Eight-Hoar Day Is Now Advocated NEW YORK.

LACK OF INTEREST IS TOLD BY UVESLEY Total SnWcribed only '$14, 167; Elvin Inspires With Facts From France R. C. Bishop, chairman of the Uni ted war work campaign for Salem, haying noticed Che article In yester day morning's paper regarding the lack of ; Interest la the drive called the directors of the campaign to his home yesterday with a view or Instlll-Ing-ln them enthusiasm and consider ing the development or plans which win ibs u re the success or the cam- j palgn. Chairman Bishop who is con fined In his home with a mild at tack or Influenza has been unable to give his personal attention to the work which otherwise would have been possible. ' : ' At his request a meeting of the campaign committee was called at the Commercial club by -Vlce-Chalr- man T. A. Livesley who laid before the committee the conditions which confronted It. He told of the gene ral lack of Interest manifested by the people generally, indicated particu larly in 'the great number of small subscriptions which were being re ported at headquarters. Judging from the size of subscriptions In for mer drives at least 6000 subscript tlons will be needed to raise Salem's quota at this time while as a matter of fact a little less than 2000 have been turned In up to and including yesterday's reports, with a total ef but tK,l7.S3 to date. The . . committee immediately agreed that the best method to ap proach tbe matter was to call togeth er all the captains for a meeting at the Commercial club which was held at 7:30 where the conditions were laid before them. A statement made by Director Gin grich as to the purpose of the meet ing and each captain called upon in turn to report for his team on three things: How many of his team wer at work soliciting; what portion of ' the territory assigned was covered: what If any helo was needed to finish the territory assigned. - After each captain reported it was the consensus of opinion of those present that each captain should start out this morning with a new de termination to put Salem over the top in securing fund for the greatest work' for which tbe people of this country have ever been asked to con tribute. James Elvin recently returned from France was present and In spired tbe men with thrilling tales of the work of the seven institutions which are asking for the funds and enthuted them by telling them that futur history Would record it as a great honor to have been privileged to raise money for purposes of this kind.

SOLDIERS ARE BEST READERS OF LITERATURE Miss Marvin Tells of Tremen dous Importance of Unit ed War Fond Drive PROFESSIONS 'STUDIED Men Who Never Had Oppor tunities Fitting Them selves for Future "How Is the united war work drive progressing In Oregon?" was about the first question asked by Miss Cor nelia Marvin. state librarian, upon her return yesterday from the Mexl-j can border where she has been en gaged in armv l!brarv service for several months. Miss Marvin Is in- terested nartlcularlr In the library end of the big drive and declare? that the cessation or hostilities in no wis decreases the need for camp libraries. This Is strikingly true of thr Mexican border camps and mili tary hospitals, she says, for It is bet opinion that thousands of soldiers will be kept on border patrol for a onr time. such Intelligent use of books as 1 saw among the soldiers on the Mex ican border. In the camps there are men of many classes, but officers and private alike are tbe most ac tive users of books and of libraries that I ever saw. A large percentage or the men in the ranks are taking advantage or army life to prepare themselves Ior profeFslons wht-n they again enter civilian life and the leading vocations for which they arc studying. Miss Marvin says, are bookkeeping, ad vertising, journalism, and farming. Other8 show preferences for law and pedagogy. One mentit ned partlcu larly was an Interior decorator and demanded all the available literature on that subject, while a cartoonist delved among the library books for the lives of cartoonists. "Many of the men are fitting themselves for officers' commis sions." continued M l Marvin, "and to these we furnished more arithme tics, algebras, books on calculus and other mathematical books than any thing else. All were sorry they did not get more mathematics while they were In school. Ton "have no Idea or the wide range or literature de manded and which the money ob tained In this drive will buy. Tech nical books are In great demand among the men who are in that line or army work and by the engineers.
