VOTE OF THANKS


The General Committee in
charge of the ferry celebration
takes this occasion in expressing
its vote Of sincere thanks to the
many residents OF the Island who
in various ways so ably assisted
the Committee in carrying for
ward its plans for making the
celebration such an unqualified
success, which would have been
impossible without such coopcra-
ton. The committee feels that
such humble efforts as they were
able to render in carrying forward
the wishes Of the people of the
Island have been more than repaid
by the splendid ontpouring Of our
citizens III receiving our distip-
guished visitors and making the
great day of this ferry celebration
SO memorable in the annals of the
Island.

WAsHrNoroN, Oct. 14.-Tnclusion in
the permanent railroad legislation of
a provision to penalize strikes of rail-
road employees was decided upon late
to-day by the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee by a vote of IA to /.
The committee did not enter into
the details Of the anti-strike legisla-
ton at its meeting to-day, the vote
being merely on the question of adopt
ing the principle Of penalizing railroad
employees for striking. Senator STAN
ley (Dem-. Ken) cast the only oppos-
ing vote. declaring he did not believe
anti-strike provisions could be en-
forced.
The committee vote was regarded as
making certain inclusion in the final
, railroad bill of an anti-strike clause
| somewhat similar to the clause of the
Cummins bills proposing fines and
Imprisonment for concerted action ot
employees interfering with interstate
commerce. The phraseology Of the
| ant-strike clause is expected to be
| agreed on late this week. Other steps

Disposition of excess earnings was ru
garded as one OF the most importan
and difficult tasks In the framing OF tn
bill and has been opposed as unconstitu

the power OF Congress to prescribe.
The committee also approved pre-
vision that the individual carriers, fror

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Although Sec
retary Lansing declined to discuss the
question of whether OF not America will
contribute 5000 troops to take part with
the Allies in the occupation of Upper
Silesia, Memel, Danzig and other areas
pending the plebiscite ordered under the

the 5000 troops will go to Germany tc
be ready to relieve that number In case
II Is decided that the United State,

This additional 5000 will bring ths

PARIS. Oct. 14.-The question wheth-
er American troops should participate
in the Allies occupation of silesia,
Memel, Danzig and other areas which
are to be taken over from Germany
pending plebiscites. in advance of rati-
flcation of the peace treaty by the
United States. apparently has been
put up to the Foreign Relations Com
mittee OF the United States Senate by
the State Department. from what was
learned here to-day. The question is
considered here as pressing, inasmuch
as the occupation Of these districts Is
to take place within two weeks after
the treaty becomes effective.
The Allies have been counting upon
American troops and have received
assurances from President Wilson
through the mission here that they
would be furnished. At the same time
orders were issued by Secretary Baker
for 5000 Regulars to prepare to leave
the United States for this purpose.
Barracks were made ready for them
at Coblenz some time ago, but Eor
some reason the troops did not start
Now 1t Is understood that the whole
matter WAS to be put before the Foreign
Relations Committee. as was done In
the case of American representation on
the temporary reparations committee.
| which the Senate decided adversely. The
reference or this question to the COM
| mittee Is said to be in response to urgent
suggestions from Under Secretary FOLK
that the matter be decided quickly and
! that the best way would be to consult
the Senate committee.
| The Supreme Council has discussed
the whole matter Of the disposition OF
reaching any decision. largely because OF
| its uncertainty in regard to the Ameri-
| can attitude. To be on the ground In
time the troops should leave America i'm
mediately. There will be an allied COM
mander appointed for the troops In each
area
The question raised was whether the
United States would allow its troops &c
be used in the execution Of the treaty
or portions of it when 1t has not ratified
the treaty. The position that the Amer
lean mission took 10 that since such oc
oupation is an outcome of the war II
which the United States participated
she Is in duty bound to assist in sucf
policing.
Also, in the case OF Sllesia the oc
cupation is vital to the coal supply o.
Europe, which in turn affects America
How long these troops would be kept II
Europe nobody knows. as 1t depends
largely on the length of time required
to organize these plebiscites and restor'
