1t was intimated that the status OF

expressed doubt that their enactment
could be completed before the Christ

are different in other respects, partic-
ularly as to the method OF dealing with
strikes and lockouts, and these differ.

In view Of the presidents statement
TO Congress yesterday that he expected
to treat the railroad question in a

LEAGUE CANNOT
 BE EFFECTIVE
 FUR MANY YEARS
Agreement Means Immediate
 Guarantee Against Any Desire for Non-AggreSSion

PARIS, July 7.-(French Wireless service) The Petit Parisien explain ing the agreement entered into by the United States and Great Britian to come to the aid of France in case of unprovoked aggression, by Germa' ny; says:
 For the first time a convention of this kind is made public directly af- ter it's conclusion. This may be cal led an act of diplomacy, accompanied all the more decisive for not being kept secret in the chancellories. The circumstances relative to its conclu- sion are known.
 "The League of Nations can not op- crate immediately. Years may go be fore it really comes into force, and in the meantime France may again be the victim of aggression. The danger of aggression menaces France more than any other country which is a member of the League, America being far away, and England more than ever protected by the sea.
 MT. Wilson and MT. Lloyd George realized that France needed an i'm mediate guarantee, the simple procla- nation would keep in check any de sire for aggression. The agreement published answeres the purpose; < will come into force if any unproyoked attack is made. The allies of France have bound themselves by the guar antees that they deemed necessary. Finally the treaty will remain in force until the League of Nations decides that the League itself is sufficient guarantee against aggression. Such is the meaning of this unprecedented agreement. It will not be possible to misconstrue it."

|D|R|G|BLE R-34 READY RE I UR N TIP ID ENGLAND.

MINEOLA, N. Y, July 7.-The re- turn cruise of the British dirigibie R-34 across the Atlantic will not start until after dawn Wednesday. The proposed plan to get the airship away at five a. m on Tuesday was abandoned tonight owing to reports of adverse weather conditions, which will make the dirigible's crew doubt ful. Without overhauling the engines it would be impractical for the airship to take off on her venture, as quan- titles of carbon accumulated in the engines during the 10S hours in which the craft was aloft on the unprece- dented journey which ended at Roos' eyelt Field here on Sunday morning Tonight the R-34 swung at ease above this flying ground, her graceful hulk scarcely moving in the gentle breeze illuminated by great searchlights which made her visible to thousands of spectators who had come here in motor cars, trains, and on foot to watch the early leaving.

J. {. AMBASSADOR
 ON SIBERIA TOUR

WASHINGTON, July 7-Under ln- structions to make complete report on conditions in Omsk, Roland 5. Morris, U s. Ambassador to Japan, was expected by the state department to sail today from Tokio on neXten- siye tour of Siberia. He will be met at Vladivostok by Major General Wm. s. Graves, commander of the Amerl- can forces in Siberia, who will accom- pany him to Omsk.
 Upon the reports of Mir. Morris, VIII depend in great measure the time or the actual recognition of the Kolchak government ot Omsk as the govern ment of all non-Bolshevik Russia.
 Mir. Morris previous reports on the Siberian situation are said to have influenced allied and associated statesmen in Paris in giving quasi recognition to the Omsk government.
 Admiral Kolchak, it was said today by officials hre, has met the request of the Paris conference relating to the establishment of a constitutional government in what is left or the former Russian empire and the vari- ous foreign offices were said to be satisfied that a constituent assempS election will be held as soon as the internal affairs of Russia permit.

Additional Suits
 Deportation Cases
 To Be Filed Today

Between 75 and 100 complaints against people of Cochise county who participated in the deportation of more than HOO alleged l. w. Ws and their sympathizers July F, 1917, charging them with kidnapping, will be filed Tuesday before Judge Joseph L. Winters of Lowell, a suburb of Bisbee. This was the statement made tonight in Tombstone by Robert N. French, county attorney of Cochise county, who has prepared the charges.
 Under the Arizona law indictment by Grand Jury is not necessary in filing criminal complaints, and infOr- nation filed by the county attorney before a justice of the peace or the superior court being sufficient.
 Mir. French refuses to state how many complaints he would file alto gether. He said, however, that there would be others than the number filed today, and these would be pre- pared and filed as rapidly as possible.
 Joseph l.. Winters, the Justice of the Heace before whom MT. French proposes to file the cases, is a prac- ticing attorney, and recently filed  31 additional suits for damage against the Fl Paso and Southwestern rail road company, the Phelps Dodge Mer- camille company, Phelps Dodge Cor opration, c. & A. Mining company, Shattuck Mining company, M. Gun inngham, H. c. Wheeler, Charles W. Allen, James R. Henderson, Ben Frankenberg, Sam Frankenberg, Nose Newman, G. H. Dowell, Arthur Not man, Lem Shattuck, J. s. Curry, F. B. King, N. C. Bledsoe, and J. c. Green way, in behalf of men alleging that they were deported on July 12, 1917
 Each plaintiff asked S5,000 damages.
 When questioned as to whether the fact that Judge Winters was acting as council for the plaintiffs in civil ac- tions against some of the men who probably would be arrested, would prejudice the county against him as a presiding magistrate in the proposed criminal actions, MT. French replied that it would not. The county, he said, was satisfied with Justice Win ters as a magistrate, but should any of the defendants, offer objections they might obtain change of venue.

RAINS PARLYZE TRAFFIC SOUTH IF SONORA

MORALES, July 7.-Heavy rains in the state of Sonora and Sinaloa Mex icO, virtually have paralyZed traffic over the Southern Pacific de Mexico railroad south of Empalme, Sonora. About 400 carlods of garbanzos, or chick peas, destined for importation into the United States at this point are held back as a consequence.
 The Fuerte river, raised to an un' usual height by the rain, has washed out a railroad bridge at San Bias. There has been no freight from Sin alola received here in fifteen days. Railroad officials think they may be able to operate that section of the Southern Pacific de Mexico between Empalme, near Guaymas, and Nav ajoa, not far suoth of here, tomorrow and carry passengers in the usual way, except for transport across the Fuerte by ferry, within four days.
 The Cananea branch of the raidroad tied up by washouts since Saturday was reopened today.
