p. IN. yesterday at ST. Lukes Hospital.

Grafton for intestinal trouble had been
performed May 12 His daughters
were at his bedside when he died.
Bishop Greer's health had been poor
during mcst of the winter. A few
months ago he spent ten days at the
hospital, undergoing treatment for the
same trouble which caused his death.
Upon his discharge he appeared greatly
improved and was to have presided
May IL at the annual convention of
the New York Diocesan Council.
Illness seized him that day, however,
and he was taken to the hospital.
The operation was performed by
Drs. Frank Mathews, Charles Teck and
Austin Hollis. The patient rallied
satisfactorily and the sessions of the
Diocesan Council were cheered by re-
ports of his progress toward recovery.
Turn for the Worse
He continued to gain in strength for
nearly week. Sunday he tool. a turn
for the worse, but his condition I'M
proved during the night. Shortly after
he awoke yesterday morning he suf-
fered a relapse, however, Announce
ments made at the hospital during the
morning were that the patient had
had reverse, but was in no immediate
danger.
Early in the afternoon there was a
consultation of physicians at the hos
pital, following which it was announced
that Bishop Greer was sinking and
probably would not rally. A bulletin
issued at $3.50 p. IN. by DR.. George c.
Clover, superintendent of the hospital,
said Bishop Greer was making brave
fight, but was losing and probably
would not live through the night.
Prayers for his recovery were offered
at services in the chapel in the hos
pital. During the services the end
came and at their close it was an
nounccd that Bishop Greer was dead.

Pershing Postpones Visit
to Britain as Allies
Consider Steps to Take
if Treaty Is Not Signed
German Protests
Answered by Paris
Economic Demands Meet
With Sharp Rejection
by Entente Leaders

PARIS, May 10 (By The Associated
Press). Marshal Foch to-day laid be-
fore the council Of four his plan for
military operations that are to be put
into effect in case the German pleni-
potentiaries decline to sign the peace
treaty.
After the conference between Marshal
Foch and the council of four President
Wilson had talk with General Perish
ing.
1t became known later that General
Pershing's visit to London may be
postponed in order to await develop
ments.
Allies Reply to Protest
A reply by the Allied and associated
governments to the German note pro-
testing against the economic terms of
cause the industrial ruin of Germany
has been delivered to the German
peace ipotentiaries.
The reply is under eleven heads and
answers each German contention. 1t
declares that the Allied and associated
governments in framing the economic
terms chad no intention to destroy
Germany's economic life"
On the contrary, the report points
out that in the reconstruction of the
worlds affairs Germany will have her
part in the progressive development,
but also will share with the rest of
the world in the economic losses and
disadvantages inevitably resulting
from the war
Relief in Disarmament
The reply declares that the German
note fails to take into consideration
the fact that the disarmament of Ger
many and the end of militarism will
relieve theo German people of an i'm
mense burden Of taxation and return
to the ranks of useful production mill
ions of men formerly in the army who
have been entirely withdrawn from
industrial or agricultural activity.
The reply also makes an emphatic
rejoinder to the German complaint
that the loss of the German merchant
marine will throw out of work thou
sands Of German merchant seamen.
Germany Must Stand Her Share
The Allies answer is that the de-
structon of merchant ships, chiefly by
German submarines, has had the un-
fortunate effect Of limiting the oppor-
tunities for work of seamen through
out the world, the Allied powers being
the greatest sufferers.
1t adds that there clearly is no rea-
son why Germany should be exempted
from it's share Of the economic disad-
vantage growing out of this destruction
of merchant ships.
The reply on the economic objections
is regarded as one of the best docu-
ments in the exchange of notes. Many
persons attribute it to President
Wilson

New Congress
Meets to Solve
Reconstruction
Republicans Organize Both
Branches and Prepare
to Push Their Leg.
islative Progra m m e

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The Sixty
sixth Cor "reconstructive') Congress
called in extraordinary session by
President Wilson from Paris, met to-
day at noon and was organized by
Republican majorities both in the
House and Senate.
Representative Gil1ett, of Massachu-
sets, was elected Speaker of the House
over Representative Champ Clark: OF
Missouri, Democratic candidate and
former Speaker, by a vote of 227 to 172
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, the Re-
publican candidate, was chosen Presi-
dent pro tempore of the Senate over
Senator Pittman, Of Nevada, Democrat
sent, but all the Republicans were in
their seats, two Withholding their
votes.
Republicans in Control
The Republicans of both bodies also
elected full states Of other officers and
thus, for the first time since 1911, re-
turned to control of the American Ma
tional Legislature.
Routine affairs Of organization com
prised the opening days proceedings
both bodies adjourning until noon to-
morrow, when President Wilson's cable
message will be read separately in the
Senate and House by clerks. The Sen
ate to-day concluded its session in
fifty minutes and the House in two
hours and twenty minutes.
Although keenly realized by all men,
bers, there was no outward evidence
in the initial proceedings of the enor-
nous amount of work ahead. The peace
treaty with Germany, including the
league of nations covenant, the Aus
tran treaty and the proposed conven-
tion for the protection of France, are
not expected before next month. All hold
promise Of dramatic debate.
important Work, Says Lodge
Commenting on the Republicans or
ganization of the Senate and the legis-
lative situation, Republican Leader
Lodge, in statement tonight, said:
"The Congress ought to have been
called two months ago, because there
is an immense amount of legislation Of
the highest Importance pressing for
action. There are eight appropriation
bills involving vast sums Of money
which ought to be passed before the
first of July There is also the rail-
road legislation, which is of enormous
Importance to the stability of business
in this country and which ought to be
taken up and dealt with as soon as
possible"
VIII Rush Appropriations
Appropriation bills which failed in
the filibuster last March will be rushed
Immediately In the House. Chairman
Good of the House Appropriations Com
mittee tonight called meeting for
tomorrow to begin work on the general
deficiency measure.
Legislation dealing with railroads,
telegraphs and telephones, woman
suffrage, prohibition, repeal Of the lux
ury taxes and other pressing subjects
is promised in the van of important
economic and reconstruction measures.
This legislation is expected by lead
ers to hold Congress in session almost
continuously until the Presidential
conventions of 1920. Investigations
planned by the Republicans of numer-
Gus administration acts also are ex-
pected to begin in the near future,

I'VE kept 10 our course until we
struck the fog, when we lost our bear

into the wind toward land to get our
bearings before proceeding. We were
then flying about 5000 feet up. We
dropped to fifty feet in order to sight
water and found the wind was in a
different direction on the surface of
the water than it was above and also
that the fog was more dense at the
lower altitude.
We made a good landing on the sea,
which was rough and choppy with
heavy swells. The strong wind con-
tinued until we were picked up.

sighted the masts of the Ionia on its
way to Fayal and Gibraltar. We were
unable to see the hull of the Ionia and
as she did not have wireless we were
unable to communicate with her. We
therefore started taxying toward her.

Ebert Expects Aid
In Treaty Protest

BERLIN, May 10 (By The associated
Press) .~Presiden Ebert, in address,
ing a demonstration here yesterday
said that Germany would "never sign
the peace terms"
The demonstration was held in the
Lustgartcn and was attended by a
great crowd. President Ebert de-
scribed the peace terms as "the
product Of the enemy's revcngeful hys-
teria" and added:
Foreign countries will not permit
Che prescription of Germany. They
win raise their voices with US that
this peace of enslavement. which we
will never sign. shall not come to

Senate Not to Accept
Covenant Unless 1t Is
Changed, Is Declaration
of Republican Leader
New Text Is
Worse Than Old
Dangerous to Peace of
the World and to the
Interests of America

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Senato
Lodge, Republican leader and chairma
Of the Foreign Relations Committe
OF the Sixty-sixth Congress, which con
vened to-day at noon, in a statemen
tonight declared that the revise
league of nations "is unacceptable,
and predicted it would not be accepte
by tire majority of the Senate withou
amendment.
Characterizing the new league GOV
enant as included in the peace treat
as distinctly worse than the old, an
more dangerous to the peace of tn
world and to American rights and in
terests," Senator Lodge declared tha
none of the suggestions from the Sen
ate or from Eiihu Root had been car
yied out.
Senator Lodges statement follows:
$50 far as l can judge-and I have
had conversations with many Sena-
tors, including members of both par
sies-l am satisfied that majority of
the Senate feel very strongly that
the league as now presented, must
receive amendment, that in it's pres
ent form, without any change, it is
unacceptable and would not be ac-
cepted.
"To say that the amendments put
forward in the Senate and those pro-
posed and formulated by Mr.. Root on
the suggestion of the State Depart
ment, have been met is without any
foundation. Not one of the sugges-
tlons Of the Senate, not one of the
amendments proposed by Mr.. Root,
has been carried out. Some have
been entirely rejected, and where
there Is an appearance of their hav-
ing been adopted, examination shows
that the new form is distinctly worse
than the old and more dangerous to
,he peace Of the world and to Amer
'can rights and interests.
1T is impossible now to enter upon
detailed analysis, because. although
we may suppose that the draft Of the
league sent over in the press dis
patches is fairly accurate, we have
no knowledge Of the treaty with Ger
many or Of its relations to the
league The summary which was
sent out was not only incomplete
out vague and inaccurate, and it is
impossible to gather from it what
'ae terms imposed upon Germany in
many respects really are.
There is no desire anywhere to
delay the treaty of peace with Ger
many one moment beyond the time
necessary to understand it, but wa
must have it before US in the official
.0'm. rs to the league of nations.
'le american people must know Just
"hat they are to be asked to agree
70. BY that League they are in
.',eo to take the gravest step ever
'aken by the United States and no
o'sanized clamor, no manufactured
pressure Of any kind will swerve the
sena'e from its high duty of laying
osfore the American people exactly
wat the league involves and what it
means to the United States, and to
'As iu'ure peace Of the world"

Mrs. Hawker Begins
To Share Anxiety

The vigil was kept long after
dark, however, on the chance that
the aviator might arrive. Mrs.
Hawker remained at the airdrome
until 8 O'Clock. Her faith in her
husbands skill had enabled her to
endure the suspense calmly, but on
leaving for home she was unable to
conceal her anxiety, although she
still remained comparatively cheer
full.
The fate of Hawker and Grieve
cannot be definitely stated, and it
is impossible even to assert that the
machine found at sea is Hawker's.

The dispatch from the Castleton
station at 1855 o'clock last night
was reported to have said:
"Sopwith machine down in lati-
tude $3.50 north, longitude II west.
which is about forty miles west of
mouth Of the Shannon"
Moreover, it was asserted the
especially sensitive wireless plant
at Bally Bunnion, on the northwest
coast of County Kerry, Ireland, did
not receive the message.
The Admiralty in London is in
vestigating the mystery.
The British government at 9:15
o'clock last evening had no informa-
ton whatever concerning the fate
OF Hawker, according to state
ment made in the House of Com
mons by Lieutenant Colonel Leslie
Orme Wilson on behalf of the gov

it that the Sopwith machine en-

COTTON MARKET
Southern Bankers Claim
Crops Must Not Exceed
Worlds Demand.

Southern bankers. merchants and
farmers, who co-operated in re-
sponse to the patriotic call to grow
bumper war crops. will face imam
cial ruin in many sections unless
they are enabled to keep the 1919
crops within the limits Of probable
world demands.
A study made at the Department
of Agriculture which indicates this
shows that IL the 1919 cotton acre
age is equal to that of 1918. the
crop will probably far overshoot the
worlds needs.
Financial disaster for Southern farm
ers will have its effect on the entire
country, experts say:
Growers Under Fire.
The Southern Cotton Growers As
sociation, whose members are endesv-
oring to reduce the 1919 acreage. are
under fire of Governor Allen. OF Kan
sas, and others who demanded that
the Department of Justice prosecute
the Southerners under the Sherman
antitrust law.
Clarence Ousley. Assistant Secretary
OF the Agriculture Department, who
characterized the prosecution demand
as absurd" made the study on which
his department bases its advice to
Southern farmers.
The Department is advising them
to plant more corn. feed and other
products needed on Southern farms.
This. oficials admit. would auto
matically reduce the 1919 cotton
acreage.
with an acreage equal to that OF
1918. Ousley's stT1y indicates the
yield would be about 15.00o,0Oo
bales. This is approximately
5000 900 bales more than was pro-
duced last year. But last year the
crop was low in proportion 10 the
acreage, because of a drought in
Texas and Oklahoma, which States
are expected to increase theeir crop
