WILSON CABLES FRANCE AND
ITALY TO RATIFY TREATY
QUICKLY

The following news dispatch was sent
out from Paris, France, August 70:
Fearful of growing opposition toward the
peace treaty, President Wilson has appealed
to France and Italy to rush ratification
This report is circulating in select diplomatic
circles now
"For two or three days the transatlantic
cables will be officially monopolized, accord
ing to statements in Paris cable offices. The
reason assigned was "for diplomatic busi-
ness"
In high official quarters it was rumored
this was to enable President Wilson to keep
in close touch with the receipt of the treaty
in the French chamber
Premier Clenenceau is scheduled to.read
the treaty to the deputies. The debate is ex-
pected to consume several days.
"President Wilson is said to be intensely
interested in the course the debate will take
He wants to know what effect the campaign
against the treaty and league of nations will
have upon what is said to be opposition to
certain provisions.
"It is said also the President is having italy
urged to hasten ratification of the treaty so
it will have the endorsement of three of the
big five"

BRITISH EMPIRE TAKES OVER TJBFT

The following news dispatch was sent out
from Washington D. c., August "a:
Intelligence received here today from
Pekln that Great Britain has negotiated with
Chlna an arrangement permitting British in
f1uence to be extended over Tibet
IS another reminder of the vast territorial
gains to the British empire received from
the war
The more important British acquisitions
are:
Annexation of Mesopotamia.
Protectorate over Persia.
Protectorate over Egypt.
Protectorate over the Hedjaz (Arabia).
Administration of various German colo
nies under mandate of the league of nations.
Paramount influence over Tibet.
With Persia and Tibet under British con-
troll and eventually Afghanistan, for which
London is reaching out, India will be well
protected from the invasion by land which
Britain has feared for more than a genera
ton, and with Egypt, Arabia, and Mesopo-
tamia the sway of Albion will be unbroken
from the African Sahara to the boundary
of French Indo-China, distance of more
than 5000 miles.
England obtains the opportunity to extend
influence over Tibet by having induced Chi
ma to grant Tibet autonomy. The dispatch
from Pekin says:
"The negotiations between the British and
Chinese governments with regard to the
status of Tibet have reached settlement
satisfactory to both parties.
Chinese officials in Pekin are we'll pleased
with this arrangement, which defines the
status of Tibet and places the Tibetans on
the same footing with the Outer Mongo-
lians.
"China will be relieved of the burdensome
and hitherto impossible task of keeping Tib-
ct in order, and the British desire for the
maintenance of Tibet as an autonomous buff
fer state is likewise realized"

WE ARE OUT OF MEXICO ONCE
AGAIN

On August "A, the 800 American cav
airy troops, which had gone across the Rio
Grande in order to apprehend the bandits
who had captured the two American avia-
tors, after an unsuccessful campaign were
ordered to return to the United States side.
Heavy rains had washed out the trail of
the bandits, and the cava1rymen, having
run across some Carranzista soldiers who
were ready to dispute their further prog
ress, and rather than have trouble with the
Mexlcans, the troops have been ordered
home. The expedition claims to have killed
five of the bandits.

OPPOSITION TO LEAGUE TREATY
GROWS

Washington, August Is = The Peace
Treaty has been put in a very precarious
situation by the vote of the foreign rela-
tions committee on the Shantung amend
ment.
This amendment proposes to change the
word "Japan" to the word "China" in all
references to the transference of German
rights over Shantung. Both friends and foes
of the covenant realize that adoption of this
amendment by the Senate marks the fail
ure of the entire covenant, as far as the
United States is concerned. 1t is also
known that England France and Japan will
not agree to the amendment
The President is urging the Senators in
favor of the Treaty unamended to use every
means possible in order to kill the Shantung
amendment in the open Senate.
Another thing that greatly concerns the
Administration forces is the sudden "hop"
of Senator Shields, of Tennessee, to the
reservationists. Senator Shields is a mem
Der of the foreign relations committee, and
in an interview which he gave out in Knox
vile, Tennessee, he stated that the Pittman
reservations are not strong enough, and
that he will not vote for the Treaty unless
American rights are protected by most dras-
tic reservations, and which the other ma
tions must accept.
Senator Lodge has received letter from
abroad, telling him of the work being done
by Col. House and c. c. B. Hurst, an Eng
lshman, in perfecting the organization Of
the League of Nations. Every officer SO
far chosen by Col. House and Mr. Hurst
are subjects of the British Empire They
are, Sir Eric Drummond, Secretary Gen
eral Of the League; Sir Herbert Ames, of
Toronto Canada, Financial Director of the
prominent secretariat of the League; Sir
David Henderson, Director General of the
Red Cross Society's League organized un-
der Article Is, of the covenant; and w. A.
Appleton, President of the National Fedora
ton of Trades Unions
On August rs, the Senate foreign rela-
tions committee continued its bold and ag-
gressive tactics in dealing with the Peace
Treaty. On that day it adopted, by a major
ity vote, no less than fifty textual amend
ments, in order to eliminate the United
Statesfrom participating in twenty or more
international commissions set up by the COW
enant to regulate the peace of the world.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, the Ad-
ministration wheel-horse, hastened to assure
the President that, in his opinion, all the
textual amendments, as we'll as the Shan
tung amendment, would be rejected in the
open Senate.

PRESIDENT WILSON ISSUES IMPOR-
TANT STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC

On August Is, President Wilson gave out
his views on the country's labor situation,
in a statement addressed to the American
public, which concerns the demands of the
railroad shop men on the United States
Railroad Administration for heavy wage
increases. The President began his state
ment with these words:
"My fellow citizens: a situation has arisen
in connection with the Administration of
the railways which is of such general signif-
canoe that | think it my duty to make pub
lie statement concerning it, in order that
the whole country may know what is IN
volved.
''The railroad shopmen have demanded
large increase in wages. They are now re-
ceiving SO, 63 and 68 cents per hour. They
demand IS cents per hour. This demand
has been given careful and serious consid-
GRAFTON by the board which was constituted
by the Railroad Administration to adjust
questions of wages, board consisting of an
equal number of representatives of en-
ployes and of the operating managers of the
railroad companies. This board has been
unable to come to an agreement, and it has
therefore devolved upon the Director Gen
eral of Railroads and myself to act upon the
merits of the case The situation is so
serious that we are face to face with condi-
ton which is more likely to effect the happi
ness and prosperity, and even the life, of
our people more than the war does"
The more than 100000 shop men of the
United States had already voted general
strike, to become effective September 2,
unless their original demands were met by
the Railroad Administration. Ninety-eight
per cent of the shop men voted for the
strike President Wilson suggested to the
shop mems chiefs that the administration
would grant compromise increase of four
cents an hour and that the strike be called
off.
In the papers of August 20, we are in
formed that the Union chiefs refused tn
compromise offer of the President, and or
dered the shop men to take another tele-
graphic vote at once relative to the accep-
tance of the four cent wage increase, or
whether the railroads will abide by their
former demands and go on strike Septem-
Der 2. A vote in the negative will mean
that the shop men refuse the Presidents
compromise proposed, and will 60 on strike
September for their original demands.

structlon is the building of dam north of
