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.

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- )

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."
