DESIRES TO HAVE NATION'S OPINIONS ON PEACE TREATY Idaho Senator to Call l T p Sub ject and Demand Public Be Admitted A Washington. Nov. 15.—The ques • tion of whether the forthcoming peace conference shall b open, so peace conference shall be open, so settled can be kept informed regard ing the discussions, will be dtsscussed thoroughly in the Senate within the next few days. Senator Borah, of Idaho, one of the leading Republican members of the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee and an earnest advocate of "open diplomacy." has served notice he would call up the subject within three or four days, and demand that the sessions of the conference be open to the public. Senator Borah heartily indorsed the plea for an open conference. Senator Poindexter, of Washing ton, another Republican Senate lead er, also strongly favored publicity of the proceedings of the conference. Senator McCuinber, of North Da kota, a Republican member of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee, expressed "just a little doubt" as to the wisdom of having the confer ence open. Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, a Democrat and a member of the For eign Relations Committee, said that, although he favored an open discus sion, considerations not known at present might enteu into tile peace conference and might require the conferees to meet behind closed doors.

Packard Motor Car Company of Philadelphia - Bethlehem Trenton Harrisburg Lancaster Camden Reading Wilmington Williamsport FRIDAY ETVTTNING, People of Alsace Give Glad Welcome to Yankees; Bavarian Troops in Haste By Associated Press Geneva, Nov. 15. —It is announced j from Basel that French and Amor- ; ican troops have begun occupying portions of Alsace the Germans, eva cuate. The Allies are being warm ly welcomed by the populace. The Swiss postal authorities at Basel ' have requested that future corres j pondence with towns in Alsace-Lor- ] ! raine be carried on only in the j French language. ; The revolution continues com- i j paratix-ely peaceable in the south I ; German states, but further san- , j guinary disorders arc reported to j | have occurred in Berlin, Essen and 1 j Danzig. A majority of the Bavarian troops ! have quitted the Tyrol hurriedly, jas they were threatened with cap- j jturo by the Italians who are ad-: vancing in automobiles. Famine ! I reigns in the Tyrol, especially in ; ! Vorarlberg, the westernmost dis- j I trict of Austria-Hungary. The Swiss I are doing their utmost to aid the , populace, as Vienna is powerless to | 1 do so. i As to Marines and 110 th Regiment Captain J. A. Griffin, personnel ! officer of the 110 th U. S. Infantry, i somewhere in Fiance writes the i Philadelphia Ledger under date of I October 21st, as follows: i "First of all, I want to make it J perfectly clear that I have no ax to grind, and also that we are notj jealous of the marines, as we are all over hero on the same mission, I but it does hurt just a little when j one picks up the Public Ledger and i finds invariably full-page pictures; of the United States Marines and no \ reference to the poor 'Doughboy' | who has certainly delivered the i goods constantly since July 15.) i There There are few newspapers in j 1 the United States with as wonderful) |an opportunity to praise the boys j j from its home town like the Public, ; Ledger. It's a matter of record, the) marvelous work that has been done j by the Twenty-eighth Division, and : j particularly the One-hundred and. ! Tenth Infantry, which was orglnallyj ; the old Third of Philadelphia and j the Tenth from up the state. This; I regiment has been cited in orders j twice by gcnqral headquarters, and ; I not only took part in the drive which j 'started on the mf-oh July 15. but I ! helped clear on the entire salient l 1 of the bocbe al Ithe way to Flsmes. j i with some of the toughest fighting j I that was ever known, at such places, | as Fresnes, 'Cierges, Courville and j Courmont, after that to the hell- j j hole of the entire front, the Argonne j ! forest near Verdun, in which some i | of the finest young fellows of Phil- J adelphia society lost their lives. "I want to make it perfectly clear j I that I have the greatest admiration i ' for the marines, but when I know ' for a fact that the infantry regi-! ! ment soutnumber them 100 to 1, j i also know that they see consid- J j crably more of the rough end of | i tproportionally than do the, i marines, and yet the marines get j I all. the advertising. I know whcrc iof I speak, for, in my official j j capacity. I have all the recrods of j i this regiment and know something; jof individual acts of bravery." i ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL Walter F. Blyler, aged 27 years, j : Williamstown, who was admitted to : I the Harrisburg Hospital at 11 o'clock j last evening suffering with Spanish • i influenza, died at 3 o'clock this • j morning. Two other influenza pa- ) I tients were admitted, and two were J ' discharged. I Country on Verge of Great Prosperity Era Washington, Nov. IS.—An sra of great prosperity after the transition from war to a peace basis In In dustry is seen by men of affairs In government activities who will work out the reconstruction plans and at tempt to turn war activities grad ually into normal lines without caus ing a panic. This is the greatest problem before the country at pres ent and nothing will be done hastily. It is felt that the next few weeks will be the most critical, and too abrupt suspension of war industrial activity is to be guarded against. Af ter this first hurdle has been tuken a straight-away-course is'discerned. Those who believed that the Presi dent will seek to set up a reconstruc tion commission think Bernard M. Bnrucli, chairman o fthe War Indus tries Board, whose powers probably woul dbo reduced greatly when a formal "declaration of peace is pro claimed. might be placed in charge of the wo.'k. Until a deceleration of peace, it is probable that most of the war agen cies will continue, although some ef the restrictive measures which thev have put into effect may be with drawn considerably before that time. The War Council t scutsed the problem r.t length yesterday. The need for a concrete policy in regurd to the scrapping of the war machine and the rehabilitation of the non-oar industries was recognized and the of ficials are awaiting the formuation of the administration's plan. Pending decision as to a general policy the WaT Industries Board will continue to exercise a most important place in conducting reconstruction work. I t has been agreed, for In stance. that it shall work hard in hand with the War Department and that all proposed cancellations of war contracts shall be promptly reported to the War Industries. Board in order that materials, labor and facilities may be diverted in orderly fashion to the civilian needs. That will leave the War Industries Board, which has a mass! of information concerning industrial renditions, in a position to advise as to the wisdom of steps in that direction. This decision is of the greatest im portance because the readjustment will depend mere iragely upon the course which the War Department adopts in the cancellation of con tracts. than on any other single fac tor in the rituat'un. Our Army Was Poised to Strike Death Blow London. Nov. 13. Prescribing the situation at the front. T.he military correspondent of the British Wireless Service says: "Marshal Foch had prepared n fur ther great attack east of the Meuse. which would undoubtedly have dealt the enemy a decisive blow. When the armistice was concluded, there fore. the Germans were faced with imminent disaster, and the only course open to them was to surrender at discretion. • The German army appears to be in a state of extreme confusion, but the live days' respite which has been granted may enable the .Germans to organize their lines of communica tion and carry out the withdrawal of their troops. "Whatever happens, no organized or effective resistance can under any circumstances b offered by the Ger man army, but the troops refuse to acknowledge the authority of their present commanders and the a*ay should disintegrate, the Allied armies may stil lliave much work to do."

Work on dress ings must be Immediately stopped. The order does not however apply on army pads, pneumonia Jackets, weight bags and heel rings and other United States Army dressings. These, the chapter Is Instructed to complete without delay. In further Instructions received this morning from Pennsylvania-Delaware Division headquarters, the chapter Is ordered to hold unfinished surgical dressings until further orders. "There are In our storehouses In France and the United States ample supplies of surgical dressings to meet any con tingency which may arise." says the statement.. Continuing, the bulletin, signed by Charles Scott, Jr., division manager, says: "The calls from our commission in many parts of the world have shown the unlimited need for civilian re lief. You are, therefore, instructed and urged to finish at once all un completed orders for refugee gar ments so as to be prepared to take care of additional orders. These orders for refugee garments and all In the nature of an emergency and production should be stimulated to th<* utmost. The need for civilian relief in the devastated sfectlons of Europe Is preying and with the near approach of winter, one garment now will be of infinitely greater ser-' vice in saving life than many gar ments three or four months later."
