WANT PRESIDENT
TO END DISPUTES

Mid-Europeans will invoke the aid Of
President Wilson in Paris to settle
two vexing racial disputes now
threatening the peace of the world.
according to authoritative diplomatic
disclosures here today.
Cross claims of the Ukrainians and
the Poles to eastern Galicia and con-
ficting aspirations of Jggo-Slavs and
Italians on the east coast Of the Adri-
attic constitute the issues involved.
The Ukrainians and the Poles already
have clashed in battle, and observers
see an approaching crisis between the
Jugo-Slavs and the Italians.
Diplomatic information is that the
Polish -Ukrainian dispute has sig
nificance not only as a territorial
proposition but as a matter of policy
in regard 70 the ultimate status of all
the nationalities OF the former Rus
sian empire.
The Ukrainian National Committee
here and its allied Ukrainian National
Council at Paris are known to favor
a federated Russia as the best
vehicle for the development of the
various nationalities of the realms Of
the late Gar Nicholas.
The council will ask of the peace
the recognition of Ukrai-
MAS rightful territorial boundaries
and for American assistance, includ-
ing American troops IL necessary, in
restoring internal order and convok-
ina a duty elected constituent assem-
bly, to decide the future form of gov
ernmeai'.
President Wilson is believed to have
given exhaustive consideration to
Ukrainia and Jugo-Slavia on his way
to Europe. having probably taken up
the Jugo Slav-Ita1ian problem with
Italian Ambassador di Cellere and the
dispute with Russian
Bakhmeteff. He is ex-
pected to have early conferences with
Premier Orlando of Italy, DR.. Trumbic
and other Jugo-Slav leaders, Ignace
of the Poles and the
plenipotentiaries.
The Ukrainian congress Of America,
n distinct organization from the
Ukrainian National Committee, con-
cluded heated sessions here yesterday
with an appeal to the peace confer
snce 70 order the settlement of the
Ukrainian-Polish territorial contro-
yersy by a plebiscIte OF the popula--
tons concerned.

HOUSING PROJECTS
UP ON WEDNESDAY

The House Committee on Public
Buildings will probably take up the
resolution relating to the stopping OF
housing projects, including the prof.
ect on the Union Station plaza.
Wednesday.
That is the date set for the regu-
lar meeting OF the committee. Sew
eral people have asked to be heard
on>the resolution.
One of them is Secretary Frank
Morrison, of the American Federation
of Labor. He is expected to oppose
abrupt shutting of OF the work on
the projects.
Senator New OF Indiana has writ
ten to the surgeon general of the
army asking whether the buildings
on the Union Station plaza cannot BE-
used for hospital purposes. In re-
ply. Senator New has been advised
by the surgeon general that they are
not satisfactory for hospital use.
Indications arc that a sharp con-
troversy will arise in the House over
disseminating the Union Station
plaza project. Some members hold
the dormitOries should be opened and
the Government hoteI' should be
used as a leveler of rentals here.

ent time, in Ire opinion OF officials
and diplomats.
President Wilson's Mobile address.
advising Latin-American against the
employment of force in the govern
mental changes, would be the basis
of washington's absolute refusal To
recognize any government set up by
the reported revolutionists.
1t is known that Mexico's gold sur
plus Is low, and IL is regarded as
doubtful IL a new government coulI
succeed without ultimate support
and credits from the United States.
There Is good reason to believe that
certain American and British oil in
terests might give financial support
to the anti-Carranza agitators.
This support could hardly be con-
strued as American or British sympa-
thy, diplomats hold. as both the
United States and Great Britain re-
fused to interfere when the Carranza
nationalistic oil decree became ef-
fective last summer, but merely ad-
vised their citizens to take their oil
land grievances before the Mexican
courts.

AGED COURT CR|ER

DETROIT, Mich. Dec. I6.--while
incapacitated for active duty Capt.
William Thorne, for quarter OF a CEN
tury United States district court crier.
and before that civil war veteran and
lake captain, is still on the payroll at
Washington for every day that Judge
Tuttle reports him for duty.
His work as crier is taken over by
the office of United States Marshal
Behrendt, and every day that court is
in session, providing the aged mans
strength permits, Captain Thorne re-
ports and is Immediately excused.
1t Is the only attraction that will
draw him outside his home, his
friends say. All the years OF his life.
save the time he was United States
district court crier, seem to have faI-
len from his memory. But a sense of
duty still remains.
1t is not the So a day that he re-
ports for. He is well taken care OF by
his children. But this is the one
thing from which he draws comfort.

way can he be persuaded to go out

Commissioners Brownlow and

ion of officials and employees of the
District today in expressions of regret
upon the retirement of General
Knight.

mate association with General
knight" said Mr.. Brownlow. ''He has
been not only an able administrator
ard devoted servant of the people of
the District, but a man who has en-
deared himself to every one. l am
glad to know that he will continue to
reside in Washington. l am sure he
will maintain close touch with Dis
trict affairs.
General Kutz is most welcome to
US all, and the District could not wish
for a better man in his position"
Refuted OsIer's Theory.
Commissioner Gardiner paid this
tribute:
"osler's alleged theory has been ab-
solutely refuted in the example Of
General knight, who, under the most
trying circumstances in the history of
the District, worked every day upon
the hundreds of veXed problems be-
fore the Commissioners and the Util-
fies Commission.
"He has carefully passed upon every
document in his department and his
decisions have been clear and force
full. He is one of the most cOnscien-
tious officials / ever knew and the
District of Columbia is the better that
he served it"
