Inter-Allied
Board Urged
For All i1ne
Commission Would Act on
Maritime, Financial and
Food Problems

PARIS, Dec. l (By The Associated
Press)-One Of the larger projects be-
ing matured as preliminary to the
Peace Congress is the creation of &
permanent Inter-Allied Commission, on
which Great Britain, France, Italy and
the United States will be represented
on all maritime, financial and food
questions.
The project has been fully outlined,
and it will be among the main subjects
before the supreme council of pre-
mers which is about to assemble in
London.
Such a commission would take the.
place Of the three temporary commit
tees now in operation. These tenn
porary committees are the inter-Allied
maritime committee, on which Ray
mond R, Stevens and George Rublee
Of the United States Shipping Board,
are the American members; the inter
Allied financial committee, on which
Oscar to Crosby, Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury, represents America
and the food committee, on which Louis
p. Sheldon, repres sentative of the Amer
lean Food Administrative Board in the
United Kingdom, is the American mem-
ber
committees would be merged into a
permanent inter-Allied commission, ac-
ccrding to the proposal now being con-
sidered. While practical advantages in
a permanent inter-Allied commission
generally are admitted by diplomats
here, opposition has developed to some
Of its features.
One objection urged by experts is
that permanent inter-Allied commits
sion would be the creation of a body
which might be represented as making
unnecessary league of nations.
Advocates of a league Of nations
urge that it should be broad enough to
include epresentatives from all ma
tions, whereas the proposed permanent
commission would be confined to four
great powers.
Another objection raised in some
quarters is that the European powers
would hold three fourths of the influ-
ence in the determination of questions
coming before the permanent commits
sion.
These objections, however, are con-
sidered to be matters of detail, and the
prevailing view in the highest quarters
is that permanent commission has
good chance of being realized.

Police Aero Corps,
To Work Up Among
Clouds, Is Formed
Section Is First of Kind in
World; Col. Thompson
at Head

In anticipation of day when it will
be necessary to deal with bandits Of
the air. the New York Police Depart
mens, through the efforts Of Special
Deputy Commissioner Rodman Wana-
maker, has organized an aviation sec
tion. The announcement was made tt
an Aero Club luncheon given yesterday
by members to Colonel Jefferson
Thompson, who is to be chief Of the
new service,
Although the police do not expect
to be summoned Immediately to chase
and fight criminals among the clouds,
officials pointed out practical work
that may be carried out at once. The
services of aviators were found invalu-
able during the disaster at the Morgan
munitions plant near South Amboy,
N. J. Aviation detachments will be
held for such work and also will patrol
the rivers and bays of the greater city.
The new section was formed with
the approval of Commissioner Enright,
Inspector John F. Dwyer and other Of
ficials of the department. Special
Deputy Commissioner Allan A. Ryan, a
veteran in aeronautics, was associated
with Deputy Commissioner Wanamaker
in forming the new police branch.
Colonel Thompson, who will have
charge of the police fers, was a
founder of the Aero Club of America
and has taken an active interest in air
affairs since the first planes took off
from the ground at the beginning of
the century.
Rodman Wanamaker is another pio-
neer. He brought the first Bleriot
monopane to the United States in
1909, and at one time owned several
balloons. He organized transatlantic
flight in 1914, but the trip was pre-
vented by the outbreak Of war.
Deputy Commissioner Ryan has been
a life member of the Aero Club. He
had charge of the first international
aviation meet, held at Belmont Park
in 1910, and contributed a prize Of
$4,000 for fight around the Statue
of Liberty
New York is the first city in the
world to form an aviation branch Of
the police.

London Goes Wild

LONDON, Dec. Marshal Foch,
M. Clemenceau, the French Premier;
Vittorio Orlando, the Italian Premier,
and Baron Sonnino, the italian For
eign Minister, were received by Pre-
mier Lloyd George, the Duke of Con-
naught and other high officials on their
arrival in London this afternoon.
Troops lined the route to the French
Embassy, where NJ. Clemenceau was
Immediately taken, and to the hotels
where the others are staying.
All the members of the party were
enthusiastically received, but Marshal
Foch came in for particular attention.
Hundreds of Americans on leave aug
mented the roar after roar of cheers
for Foch as he drove through the
streets. The marshal had his hand at
salute almost constantly. The cheer
ing was punctuated frequently with
the cry of Good old tiger!' for Glenn
enceau Trafalgar Square and other
vantage points were crowded with
people.
The visit is purely for the arrange
ment of certain peace preliminaries.

No information regarding Presi-

Unofficially it was said the

There were other reports, how
ever, that the President expected

Immediately after he addresses

Personal Remuneration of
Throne Leaves Others of

Ex-Rulers Planning
To Regain Crowns
Conference in Switzerland
of Austro-German Agents
Viewed With Suspicion
Tribune London Bureau

Tribune London Bureau
LONDON. Dec. 1.-THE ex-Kaiser's
abdication is now formal, definite
fact, but the form of his remuneration
does not satisfy requirements here un-
less the actual text differs from the
cabled reports. The great objection lies
in the fact that the document appears
to concern the Kaiser only, and says
nothing about the other members of
the royal house, while it's form indi-
Gates that the previously expressed in
tention of abdicating amounted to mere
temporizing with the Allies.
Much significance attaches to the
Simultaneous movements, apparently
rapidly growing, aiming at the restora-
strict legality than to urgent political
regime.
Crown Conference in Session
At present conference going on in
Switzerland between representatives of
the previously ruling groups in Austria
and Germany, over which the Crown
Prince of Bavaria is presiding, is
viewed here with grave suspicion.
The altered status of the Kaiser
makes no difference, however, in the
question of extradition 1t is under
stood here, although it has not yet been
stated officially, that all the principal
allied governments agree they are
legally entitled to demand that he be
given up.
Holland Expected to Consent
The War Cabinet here will confer
with French and Italian representatives
tomorrow on the memorandum sub
mitted by British law officers, who
have taken the view that surrender
the usual formalities of international
law, but the request is based less on
legal arguments than upon carefully
formulated reasons pointing out the
necessity Of this course.
There is little reason to expect that
Holland will place serious obstacles
in the way. A representative Dutch
view is found in the "Haagsche Post"
of Amsterdam.
"Let there be no juridical subtleties.
Expel the Kaiser from the country i'm
mediately without more ado. We must
not make the country an asylum for
criminals. After the Bavarian revela-
tions, it is certain that the Kaiser is
one of the worst criminals"
When surrendered the Allies will
place the Kaiser in q place of safety
pending trial by an international court

Chileans Would Annex
Peru's Lost Provinces

SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. IA great
patriotic demonstration, directed
against Peru, was held here yesterday
and continued until midnight 1t was
the largest ever seen in Santiago and
included almost the entire population
between the ages Of sixteen and sixty.
Resolutions to be sent to the ma
tional government demanding the in
corporation into Chile of Tacna and
africa and an immediate increase in
the army and navy were everywhere
greeted with cheers. A feature of the
demons stration was the presence of the
veterans of 70 who captured these
provinces from Peru.
The newspapers comment on the
fact that hundreds of small Argentine
flags were carried in the professions.

Declares Red Cross Faces
Combat With Winter of
Hunger and Disease
Says Governments
Must Bear Burden
Every American Worker Is
Expected to Continue Ef-
forts Long After Peace

Famine and disease will stalk
through The world this winter. IN the
opinion Of Henry P. Dawson. chairman
of the War Work Council of the Ameri~
can Red Cross. who has Just returned
from a three months trip In Europe.
Mr.. Dawson predicted yesterday. in
a statement issued through the Red
Cross, that distress will be SO wide
spread that volunteer organizations
will be powerless to relieve 1t and the
chief burden must be borne by gov
ernments.
Mr.. Dawson during his recent tour
of inspection of Red Cross activities
abroad visited England. France, Bel
gium, Italy and Switzerland.
"That there will be an appealing
cry of humanity from all over the
world no one can doubt" said Mr..
Dawson. "The needs of France, Bel
GUM, Italy, Russia and the Balkans
will not terminate with the formal
declaration of peace. A hard winter
is ahead. Exposure and the hardships
of war and the dislocated industrial
conditions of the world have produced
hunger, want and disease.
Economic Conditions Bad
"Poltically the outlook for a new
and better world is bright, but the
economic conditions are ominous.
There will be such distress in the
world that it cannot be met by volun-
tary organizations. Governments
themselves must bear the chief bur
den, and l am confident that coopera-
tion between the governments may be
relied upon in an endeavor to meet
this wholesale work of relief which
will be needed.
"ln addition to this, there will, how
ever, be the necessity and opportunity
for supplementary work, which Red
Cross organizations throughout the
world can do, should do and must do.
Certainly, the women of America, work
ing through the Red Cross chapters,
and the women in other countries able
to do similar work, will find their
hearts debating more than their hands
can do. l hope no Woman will think
Of relaxing activity or her endeavor to
meet the calls for SUPPLIES of whatever
character as issued from Red Cross
headquarters at Washington until a
