By Intrnallotial News Brnrloa: Parts, Nov. Belief that Germany will be made to pay heavily for war destruction Is already chilling the ar dor in the new German Austrian state to become part of federated Germany.

It la noticeable that newa dis patches give less attention to thla movement during the last few days and information reaching Paris Is to the effect that tbe cool heada among the men are advising the new government against rushing to Join Germany, which would compel It to ahare a further war burden aa well as Its own. At the same time it is by no means certain that the allies would consent to such a program, especially at this time since tbe present German Austrian deputies elected years ago, do not now trulyaepresent the people.

American List Not Known. By Internatloi.al News Service: Washington, Novl 23 Delay in an nouncing the make up of the United States delegation to the peace confer ence was said here today to be relat 1 ed to the absence from Washington of Secretary of State Lansing. The' latter has gone presumably to his home in Watertown. While absent, however, he 1 is expected to talk with one of the men who will be named on the com mission, providing he is willing to accept.

Meanwhile speculation regarding the identity of the commissioners contin ues without any intimation from off! clal sources as to whom actually will compose it. The list today contained the names of the president, Colonel House, Secretary Lansing, another cabinet officer possibly, although tbe resignation of Secretary McAdoo miU gated against ttre chances of such a selection, and Ellhu Root. The advocates of Mr. Root's nomination continued to insist that his brilliant legal mind will be badly needed when the deliberations of the com missions are begun. The opposition to his appointment, however.

Is Increasing within the Democratic party, and no one is prepared to say what effects this opposition will have on the president. It is not expected that any announce ment dealing with the make up of the commission, and the president's trip across will be forthcoming before tho first of the week. Secretary Lansing will not be back 1 until that time while Secretary to the President Tumulty has been detained in Jersey City because of the death of I his father to whom he was devotedly attached!.
