Treaty IS
OF LITTLE VALUE
Get No More Territory by
Peace Pact and Actual Loss
of Imperial Prestige
By j. W. T Mason

written for the United Press)
New York, Feb. 12.-The hollowness
of central powers separate agreement
with the Ukraine republic is being
quickly realized by the Teutonic people.
The prestige Of the German militarists
will not be increased even momentarily
by the Brest-Litovsk treaty, for there
is no territorial gain to the central pow
ers, Austria Hungary, in fact, by rec
ognizing the independence of Ukraine,
specifically abandons the previous inn
perialistic demand for the annexation Of
that part of Russia to Galicia. The peo-
pie of Austria Hungary, therefore, have
no further imperialistic reason for con-
tinuing the war. Count Czernin has in
timated that Austria Hungary doesn It
want Poland and does not desire to an
mex Italian or Serbian territory. Thus,
the Ukrainian treaty becomes in effect
a formal reputation by Austria Hum
gary of the German ideal Of militaristic
aggression. The German people are al
ready beginning to refer to the Ukraine
pact as "bread peace.''' There could
be no more contemptuous and ironic
criticism of the kaiser and his Pan
German megalomaniaes. After nearly
four years of warfare, the German mill
itarists return home from a peace con-
ference holding no indemnities and no
territorial loot and able to say only
that they have arranged to supply Ger
many 3 hungry millions with little
more breadl
There have been no more complete
anti-climax to militaristic ambitions in
the history of Europe. The kaiser has
provided a little more bread for Ger
many, but no diminution of blood let
ting. The three western democracies are
preparing to attend to that. The Tx
raine treaty as bread peace" is al
ready contributing to a better UNDER
standing among the German people Of
the failure of the Hohenzollern militar-

SPITDALL QUESTION
BODS UP ONCE MORE
Schedule Meeting On In New
YOrk--SOrne Changes May
Be Made
BY II. @. Hamilton

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, Feb 12-With the spit
ball thrower offender before the bar,
the National league will go through
the motions here today of ratifying a
schedule. That, however, is just an in
cident of the annual schedule meeting
of the elder major league, for there
are other questions seething in the
minds of the magnates.
Charles Ebbetts, president of the
Brooklyn club, has several things he
wants to tell his brother magnates
about. He has something that will
make change, handle the war tax, mas
sage the pitchers and throw out offend
ing fans. His machine, he declares, viii
be exhibited to the gaze of the base
ball public today. Whether the rest of
the National league likes it or not,
Ebbetts is going to install battery
ofethe eontraptions at Ebbetts field.
Some changes may be made in rules,
which will permit clubs to play post
poned games at any time. AS it is now,
the last series is selected. The short
ened schedule, with its compulsory
double headers, of course, makes that
a bad feature The rule probably will
be amended.

the heavyweight championship ambi-
lions, in referring to his minor disturb
ance with Tom Mcmahon, alleged bear
cat from New Castle, Pa, here last
night.
There was nothing intensive about
the training. For four rounds Fulton
iabbed McMahon at will until Referee
Abe Pollock took hand and stopped
the affair, thereby saving the five
thousand fight fans the embarrassment
of eleven more monontonous frames.

FIXING OF Salaries
BY COUNCIL And
ELECTION OF MATRON
Mrs. Dorsey Elected to Sue
ceed Herself Mrs. Shank
Was Candidate

Election of city police matron and
defining the duties of the janitor of
the city hall and comfort station were
the two things. over which aldermanic
heads bumped together at the meeting
of the city council last evening.
Matters were started when Alderman
Rigdon, of the committee on accounts
and current expenses, introduced a
resolution fixing the salaries of EN-
at certain scale. Under the provis-
ions of the resolution the employees of
the street department are to receive
the same wages as were allowed at a
previous session when they were in
creased, and the salaries of the police
patrolmen are to be $75 per month for
thel first six months of service, $50
per month for the second six months Of
service and $S5 for the third six
months and all time thereafter.
Mr.. Ward Objects.
Alderman Ward objected that the
police committee was not consulted in
the matter and said he didn 7 think
the sliding scale would work when it
come to hiring a traffic officer. Rig
don replied that the sliding scale
principle was the same as that in eff
feet in the fire department and that
he thought it would be right and equit
able. Mayor Keyes questioned how it
would work when a new chief went in
to office and made more or less changes
in the force of patrolmen. Rigdon
said the police department ought to be
taken cut of politics anyway.
Alderman Roberts, of the committee
preparing the resolutions, took the
floor and stated that Ward intimated
he thought the committee did not give
any time to preparing the scale of
wages because they did not make any
noise about it. He said. the committee
had gone into the matter thoroughly
and had adopted the sliding scale after
due consideration. He said man was
worth more to him in his store after
he had worked for him six months
than he was when he entered the store.
He asserted that it was foolish to let
good men slip away for a few dollars
a month and maintained that the wages
and scale recommended by the commit
tee were just and right.
Teamsters the Only Real Experts.
Ward asked what the sewer expert
was referred to in the street depart
ment, and said the city engineer had
him that there was no such
expert in the department. Alderman
M Clelland took the floor and stated
he had been talking with members of
the street department and that all the
difference there was between experts
and common laborers was the difference
in their families and the way they got
their jobs He said the only real ex
perts on the whole force were the men
who drove the teams and that when it
come to getting their horses noses in
side the barns at exactly O'Clock
they were the most remarkably expert
group of men he had ever seen.
The motion to adopt the resolutions
was then put and carried by a good
Janitor's Salary Raised.
Alderman Stanton, of the committee
on public buildings which has charge
Of the comfort station, then asked that
some action be taken relieving the
ianitor of the city hall and comfort
station of some of the numerous odd
duties he had been performing, saying

Consolidation Rejected.

Alderman johnson, Of the special
comittee appointed to confer with the
school board relative to the consolida.
tion of the office of police-matron and
truant officer, reported that the board
had submitted plan for combining
the two offices, the board to pay $400
and the city 5000 year toward the
support of the officer elected. johnson
moved the accommodation be adopted,
but stated he had fears of one person
being able to perform all the duties of
the combined office. Unruh stated
that under this plan the city would be
paying nearly as much as at present
and that the police matron would then
have about twice the work to do she
has now. He said he didn't think the
city would get as much then for its
money as it did now. Roberts said
the proposition did not look very plaus-
ible to him. Keyes said he had gone
over the matter carefully with the
school board and thought it would
work out all right. Rigdon stated no
was in favor of trying it out.
Motion was put to adopt the recon-
mendation and lost by a vote of to 5,
MatrOn Is Elected
Ward then moved to elect police
matron, placing in nomination Mrs.
Myra Shank. Alderman McClellant,
the minority member of the police
committee, placed in nomination Mrs.
S. j. Dorsey, present matron. Rigdon
moved TO postpone the election, second
ed by Wilson. Unruh told Rigdon to
stop his camouflaging and come right
out and say he wanted the office
abolished. The motion to postpone was
put and lost. Rigdon then moved that
an ordinance be introduced at the next
meeting abolishing the office of police
matron. Motion lost for want of a
second.
Motion to elect by ballot was then
carried. The return of ballot showed
Mrs. Dorsey elected with a total of s
votes to Mrs. Shank's 5. Unruh moved
that the election be made unanimous,
which carried.

late than he could properly perform.
Ward stated the janitor had been made
an errand boy for the city hall and was
all the time running errands for some
of the city hall offices OF answering

Simeral stated the janitor was sent
over the city to deliver papers and bills,
ETC., and was required to run mis- legs
off all over town.

raised to $50 month. City Recorder
Race then took the floor and asserted
with some warmth that the various in
situations that had been made about
the jsnitor being made the errand boy
for the recorders office were un.
founded and uncalled for, and that Mr..
Knowland had not performed single
service for that office which he had
not volunteered to do at times when he
had nothing else to do.
The motion to raise the janitOr s
salary to $50 a month and to limit his
services exclusively to caring for the
city hall and comfort station was then
put. On vote of yes and no the mo-
tion seemed to be lost Division was
called and for all the councilmen
with one or two exceptions arose to
their feet, carrying the motion.

 It Is stated that Oscar Limbstrum, as- sstant foreman of the plant, was going throren the mill securing pledges to buy Liberty Bonds when he got into an argu- ment with HakamSon, who became en- ragged and lit him in the eye. Mata then joined in and together they succeeded in bruising Mi. Limbstrum up severely be- fore the cther employees of the plant joined in the fight When it became known that the trouble was over the purchase of Liberty Bonds it is alleged that tho employees began preparations for a rope party, which was prevented by the arrival of special agents of the de- pertinent of justice sent to the plant by j. Reese Murray, head of the depart ment of justice, who had been notified.
 Mata lives in Vivian and claims to have been born in Austria and says he has been in the United States about 14 years, while Hakamson resides in Ems ley and states he was born in Sweden. but came to this country about i5 years ago. Both men said they had bought Liberty Bonds of the last issue They were lodged in the county jail and will be held pending an investigation
