Back on u. S. Force.
Final Draft of Super-Na-
tionSchemeAdopted
Com mis- sion; Japan
Drops Discrimination
Clause.

Paris, Feb. I3.-{By the Associated
Fress).-Ihe Bourgeois proposition tor
an interalied military force to enforce
peace was defeated by an overwhelming
vote at the meeting of the society of ma
tons commission today.
The French and Czecho- -SIovaks were
the only representatives voting in the al
firmative.
The draft of the society of nations
plan was then unanimously adopted as a
whole. The final draft consists of rs ar
ticies.
President Wilson will personally read
the draft at a plenary meeting of the
peace conference tomorrow The con.
ference will not be asked to finally adopt
it at this time.
The Japanese delegation presented an
amendment providing that racial dis
elimination should not be tolerated in
immigration laws.
Several delegates urged that this
would open such large question that
great delay might ensue, and the matter
was dropped without vote.
The United States, under the society
of nations plan. as it now has been
amended, viii maintain an army of not
less than 100000 men. which. after au-
thorization of such action by the United
States senate. could be used wherever
necessary, according to a Havas agency
announcement today regarding newly
adopted features of the plan.
This provision was agreed upon by the
society of nations commission. the agency
says. as solution of the difficulties in
the way of the plan arising out of the
American constitution
II such action regarding the use Of the
American army in connection with the
society of nation as outlined in the fore
going has been taken by the society of
nations commission. it would seem that
the action has not in any way been final.
The defeat of the plan of an interallied
military force would seem to carry with
it rejection of any proposal relative to
the American army such as stated in the
Havas report

according to authoritative information
here. After Saturday. when the 1916
and 1917 classes will be disbandcd. the
German army will consist of about l.
0OO.O)O men on the eastern frontier, and
the 1918 and 1919 classes. numbering
about 100000 men, which will be kept
as standing army.
Efforts of the German authorities to
recruit volunteers for the army have
been unproductive, but the official view
here is that they may be more successful
later. Men who have been in the army
for four years have no great desire to
continue in the fighting force. but it is
expected that they viii find civil life in
Germany less attractive than the army
was before. and probably will be willing
to enlist later.
Recruiting also is hindered by the fact
that nearly every hamlet is trying to
raise it's own defense force. Many for

Allies Relieved.

Archangel, Feb. 13.-(By the Assocr-
ated Press )-American reinforcements
marching over so miles of il forest trail
reached the hard-pressed British and
Russians in the region OF Seedmakrenga.
yesterday. The result was that the boil
sheviki, who had been launching strong
attacks in this region, retired to the
southwark, apparently abandoning their
offensive movement.
The bolsheviki evidently feared that
they would be cut off in the rear and
withdrew before the Americans reached
Sredmakrenga.
Conditions on other sectors Of The
northern Russian front were unchang-
ed. today, following the infantry opera
tion and an attack BY the bolsheyik
which was brilliantly repused. An Off
cial statement regarding the kadish
fighting says:
'On Tuesday afternoon we gallantly
repulsed a bolsheyik attack against ka1-
ish. The situation is considered more sat
isfactory."
The bolsheviki fighting the allies in
the northern section comprise $1,000
men with 151 machine guns, 66 field guns
and nine six-inch guns.
An attempt is being made to stand
ardiZe the organization and euuipment
of the soviet armies. and schools for
officers and aviators have been opened.
General Veteritis. Lett, has been
appointed commander Of the soviet
armies.
The bread ration Of the troops has
been reduced from two pounds to one
pound daily. and there arc other indica-
tions that the bolsheyiki are suffering
from a food shortage.

.CHANCELLORSH|P
BILL IS HELD Up
AFTER FUR FLIES
Democrat Would Kill It
to Preserve Repub-
lican Harmony.
By WARREN W. MOSES.

Helena. Feb. 13-Indications Of the
existence In the house Of two opposing
factions in connection with the chancel
lership Of the University of Montana
were brot to light this forenoon when
a report from the committee on educa
ton unfavorable to house bill 260 was
received.
This bill, introduced by Jones Of Phil
lips. providing for the abolition of the
office Of chancellor Of the university
was brought back this morning with the
recommendation that it do not pass. Ea-
ton, chairman of the committee, moved
the adoption of the report, the motion
being opposed by Jones. father of the BILL
who moved as substitute that The bill
be referred to the committee on appro-
priations. to be held until that commit
tee had decided upon general appropria-
ton matters.
Recalls Caucus Action.
Eaton protested that the bill had been
given full consideration by the commit
tee, which had acted unanimously upon
the report. Jones said that as q matter
Of courtesy he had asked the committee
to turn the bill over to the appropria-
tions committee and insisted that the ac-
tion Of the committee adverse to the bill
had not been unanimous. He added that
at meeting Of the republicans in caucus
the other night committee had been ap-
pointed to investigate matters upon
which this bill had been based and to
make report. but that this committee
had not Yet reported.
Eaton. a republican, said he did no.
feel that the house was supposed to take
cognizancc of any republican caucus ac-
tion.
Democrat to Rescue.
Demel. democratic floor leader. then
stepped into the breach and said that in
order to keep harmony in the republican
ranks. it would be far better to kill the
bill. He said the bill tends to abolish the
office Of chancellor and not merely to re-
move the present incumbent. He could
see no occasion for abolishing the office,
and if the introducer of the bill main
ytained any desire to get rid Of the chan
scellor, the proper procedure would be to
20 after the individual and not the office.
Higgins. republican floor leader, coun-
seled delay in the matter. He thought it
best to permit the joint Investigating
committee to 60 over the conditions in
the various departments and make its
report. then let the house act upon that
report as it pertained to the educational
department He said very short time
had elapsed since this bill had been in
troduced and he felt there was no par
ticular haste.
Would Refer Bill.

dustrial unrest was opened in the house
Of commons by William Brace, labor
member for South Glamorgan, who
moved the official labor party amend
ment in reply to the speech from the
throne. The amendment expressed regret
at the absence Of any mention in the
speeches of a definite proposal for
dealing with the present cause of in
dustriai unrest and for securing in this
connection working hours and conditions
of labor that would establish higher
standard Of life and social well-being
for the peoples.
Mr.. Brace declared that not little

tiations as they wcrs entitled to re-
ceiye, and in the granting Of concessions
regarding terms after unofficial stop-
rages of work, which concessions had
been refused to trade union leaders be-
fore the stoppage.
Organized labor, the member said
stood strong for the settlement of dis
putes by conference and conciliation. The
real cause of the present unrest he
declared, was an accumulation of IN
settled grievances.
He. contended that, if the situation
created by this unrest was to be re-
medied, the government must 60 to the
root of the matter and nationalize the
land, the railways and the mines. As
long as the question Of naturalization
was unsettled. he asserted there would
be serious industrial unrest.
