No decision has yet been reached
as to the number OF delegates which
will represent each country, the ar
rival Of the British delegates being
awaited The claim OF the British
colonies TO participation in the con-
.gress Is receiving serious considera-
ton. At the same time II Is feared
that unless some limitation is placed
on the number OF delegates the con-
ference will become too large to ac-
complish results,
1t is understood that the British
Government proposes to have five
delegates at the peace table and that
the United States will have three.
II is reported that to China will be

opinion was expressed by some mem
bers OF the American Mission to-day
that this fact will give China an OPP
portunity TO press her claim for re-
turn of Kiao-Chau. or Mt most to per-
init Japan to continue the German

COMMITTEE HEARS
Commissioners ON
D. c. APPROPRIATION


The House Appropriations Subcom-
mittee in charge of the District APP
preparation bill, headed by Congress
man Sisson, gave a hearing today to
the District Commissioners on the
question OF an appropriation to meet
the cost Of garbage disposal. This in
c1udes an appropriation for the tax
ing over Of the plant OF the Washing
ton Fertilizer Company, as provided
for in the bill recently passed by the
House.
The bill as passed by the House
contains authorization for the ex-
penditures, but It, viii be necessary
to appropriate before the actual eX-
penditures for garbage disposal can
be made. The subcommittee VIII
recommend the necessary approprta-
tions to enable the Commissioners to
go ahead with garbage disposal plans.
The amount will probably be S445,O 900.
II IS doubtful whether an appropria-
ton will be made under which pigs
and poultry. to be fattened upon gar
bage- can be purchased.
Both the members of the subcom-
mittee and the members OF the House
District Committee are favorable to
the idea of establishing an adequate
and modern plant for garbage dis
posal and sewage disposal, but this is
not likely to be attempted until after
the war. Congressman Sisson is a
thorough believer in such a plan.
