BARRIERS TO DEMAND
 INCREASE IN WAGES
BarbcrS Present New Terms to Shop OwnerS-Enl-
 pioycrS NonplusScd.

The Journeymen BarberS' union at a recent meeting, voted to demand from the boss barbers or employers, an increased scale of wages. The present scale consists of a standard wage of SIS per week with 50 per cent. Of the gross receipts over and above SPA taken in by each barber. The proposed new scale, which was voted to take effect on September 29, consists of a standard wage of $22 per week with 50 per cent. of all over $28 taken in by the barber.
 Practically every one of the men who own shops in this city feel that such a scale would be an imposition and some of them stated today that they positively cannot afford to pay their employees on such a basis. They state that the barbers in demanding such an increase, do not stop to con- sider the amount of overhead expense involved in the uplleep Of a shop, such as rent, lighting, laundry, etc.
 One of the best known of the local shop owners became very indignant when he heard of proposed increase yesterday. He said that if the bar bers persisted in their demands he would take the union card out of the window, hire non-union barbers and run his shop to suit himself. This threat was made in anger and as he is out of town today his intentions could not be learned.
 Another prominent shop owner said this afternoon that he had talked with some of his associates and decided that the only possible avenue of escape left for the employers is to organize an as socfation of shop owrers. There was formerly an association of this kind but 1t is now practically extinct.
 There will be a special meeting of the Journeymen Barbers' union on next Monday evening to discuss the situation and If possible to arrive at a solution of the problem.

 By Govt. Troops.

Paris, Sept. 1S.-Italy is throwing a naval and military cordon about the city of Plume, which is still held by Captain Gabriel dAnnunzios forces Food supplies of Plume are reported to be low and an effort is being made to close all avenues by which stores can be rushed into the city and thus to force the surrender of the troops holding the place.
 Advices received here indicate that yAnnunZio's men have entrenched themselves about the city and intend to defend it agaist any attack which may be made.
 If it is found impossible to hold Plume it Is said, plans have been laid to destroy the city.
 General Badoglio, deputy chief of staff of the Italian army is in F'iume and has issued a proclamation calling upon the d'Annunzio troops to return to their units. Some arc said to have left the city. General Diaz, conn mander-in chief of the Italan army has been recalled from his vacation and has been in conference at Rome with King Victor Emmanuel and Pre- mier NitU. ,yGa
 All dispatches relating to the >situa- ton at Plume are being vigorously censored by the Italian governm ent, but it is reported that Rear Admiral Casam ova, who landed at Plume on Tuesday to restore order is under vir- tual arrest there.
 It develops there were no Amer ican deta chrR ents in Plume. when Captain d'Annunzio marched into the city last week.

COVENANT WOULD
 HELP OUT CHINA
This Agency Will Go Fur ther Than Any Toward R> toring Shantung Prov ince to, Chinese.

San Francisco, Sept 1S.-Replying in statement to a list of questions put to him by d San Francisco league of nations organization, President Wilson declared Great Britain could not out-vote the United States ia the league; that foreign governments could not under the covenant order American troops abroad; that the league would have a powerful in- fluence toward restoration of Shan tung to China; that the United States would not be obligated by Article x to aid Great Britain in suppressing a revolt in Ireland; and that under Article II, there would be created a new forum for questions of self de- termination.
 MT. Wilson's statement containing the questions and answers follows:
 Questions England's Voting Power.
 1--Will you state the underlying consideration which dictated an awarding of six votes to the British empire in the assembly, and is it true that Great Britain will out-vote in the league of nations and thereby control the leagues action? t,.. |. ,sss,3s
 Answer: The consideration which led to assigning six votes to self gov el'ning portions of the British em- pire was that they have in effect, in all but foreign policies, become auton- omous self governing states, their pohcy in all but foreign affairs being independent of the control of the British government and in many re- spects dissimilar from it. But it is not true that the British empire can out-vote us in the league of nations rl the league, because in every matter except the admission of new members in the league no action can be taken without the concurrence of a unani- nous vote of the representatives of council so that in all matters of action, the affirmative vote of the United States is necessary and equiv alent to the united vote of the repre- sentatiVes of the several parts of the British empire. The united votes of the several parts of the British empire cannot offset or overcome the vote of the United States
 Can't Send Troops Abroad.
 - ?. Is 1t true that under the league of nations foreign countries can order the sending ef American troops to foreign countries?
 Answer. It is not. The right of congress to determine such matters is in no wise impaired
 3. What effect will the league of nations have in either forwarding or hlndering the final restoration of Shantung to China? What effect will the league of nations have in prevent ling further spoliation of China and the abrogation of all such special privileges now enjoyed in China by foreign countries?
 Answer. The league of nations will have a very powerful effect in for Wardlng the final restoration of Shan tung to China. and no other instru- mentality or action can be substituted which could bring that result about. The authority Of the league will un- der Article X be constantly directed toward safeguarding the territorial integrity and political independence of China. It will therefore, absolute lY prevent the further spoliation of China, promote the eStOratiOn in

TEACHING THE MISSISSIPPI
TO BRUSH IT'S OWN TEETH.

Beginning the middle of this
summer, the Mississippi River will
be able to brush it's own teeth and
keep it's own mouth clean Of mud
and silt and sand. which for so
many generations have kept gov
eminent dredges and other boats
busy down at Port Eads holding
open that mouth so that ships
might pass in and out, and 100
miles up the river to New Orleans.
The method was very simple
after they found out how to do
it-for it consisted merely in mar
rowing the channel inside the
jetties, by means of timber break
waters, to 1000 it.. with a mean
depth of IS f., and then directing
the main current of the Mississippi
through this narrowed channel.
Only one dredge will be required
now for soundings and records,
whereas, three or four dredges
were EMPLOYED before to keep the

WHEN YOU GET A BIT BLUE

When we are inclined to be a
little bit down in the mouth, we
like to think of man in the Mid
die West who is making his mark
in spite of the fact that both his
legs are off close up to his body.
He used to be a street car man
and. because Of an accident, had
to have his limbs amputated.
Most men would have been so
beaten by such terrible thing
that they would have taken to
the chimney corner and spent
their time mourning and lament
ing their undone condition. But
this man started for the farm.
You and / might thing that was
about the last place the man
would think of going to, for there
are jobs that seem better adap-
ted to legless man than farming.
This man can do almost any
kind Of work there is to be done
on the farm. He can climb q
ladder to do job of painting; he
can ride almost any kind Of farm
machine; he can drive an auto;
he can do work in the garden or
milk cows or go to town with
stuff for the market. In fact, he
is one Of the most successful farm
ers in his neck of the woods and
is said to be the only legless
farmer in the United States.
How can he do so much and dc
it so WELT just by keeping his
grit up and saying: 81 can do
this, and I will. "5Ex.
