WILSON TO CONFERENCE? Friends Urging Pres ent, but Country's Attitude Is Doubtful. Nzw YoaK, Nov. 13.-A dispatch from Washington printed in the New York Times today says: '"4 persistent report that President Wilson is considering attending the peace conference caused considerable interested speculation here, but none of the President's official family would discuss it. Some of the President's closest friends and stanchest supporters in. Congress are insisting that he shoult head-the peace conference; but -thersassert -that the President's personal attendance in the conference, particularly it it is to be held abroad, would not meet with the approval of the vast iajority of the people in the United States. "In the first place those who oppose the idea of the President's becoming a member or chairman of the peace conference declare that the President's chief duty now is to the United States and that he should remain here giving his time and attention to the problems of reconstruction at home. They make the point that the President already has done his duty to the United States and Allied nations through his part in bring. ing hostilities to an end, and through his suggestions as a basis forte pne which were agreed to in principle b l the belligerents. "Of course, the President of the Unitedl States..AlL agsaywl- teve-a ' o.t over the peace conferees he may appoint to represent this country, but for the President to leave the country to attend the conference himself many students of the world situation as it exists believe would be a mistake and that it would not meet with the approval of the people who chose him to head their government." It is understood that Premiers Lloyd George and Clemenceau, both have urged that the President should at least attend the opening sessions of the peace conference. PROMISES FOOD TO GERMANY.
