VON DER GOLTz ARMY
 A POSER ID ENTENTE

PARIS, Oct. 7.-Diplomats and military men of all the allied and as- sociated powers are agreed that the troops under General von der Goltz are a menace to entente interests as they are now operating and should be withdrawn. But there is a great diff ference of opinion as to the best means of effecting their disarmament and disbandment.
 The fear is expressed by many off cers who are familiar with the situa- tion that considerable number of Von der Goltzs troops may lapse into bol- shevism, as they are for the most part men whose properties and employment have been ruined by the war and they have sought the Baltic provinces as a pioneer country where they could re- establish their fortunes.
 Many of these soldiers are Germans who were expelled from Alsace LOT raine, and there are numerous men without the prospect of employment because of the lack by Germany of a navy and merchant marine. Conse- quently they are foot loose and des- perate and eager for any adventure ready to follow any bold leader
 The Von Der GoltZ forces are vari- ously estimated at from 35,000 to 60,000 In the opinion of experienced entente officers who have recently been in the Baltic territory, the Berlin govern ment has unquestionably lost control over the Baltic troops.

SEVENTY ARMY A|RMENREADY TOHOPP OFF
 ON 2700 MILE CROSS CONTINENT FLIGHT
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 7.-Sixteen regular army fliers are to hop off here beginning at o'clock tomorrow morning on a transcontinental race they expect will land them at Mineola field, New York, 72 hours later.
 The race will be on when Lieut. J. P. Reichter of Rockwell field, San Diego, takes the jump" in his De Haviland for the ascent to the dis tance flight levels. Then will follow a galaxy of De Haviland "bluebirds," Sopwith experimentals and, according to the plans announced tonight, two captured German fokkers, found by the Americans in the St. Mihiel drive The De Havilands will predominate in the race, but there are two spunky Sopwiths entered
 Army interest seemed to center about the expected performance of the fokkers, which were built for but 75 hours combat service and whose en- zines of 1S0 horse power each drive them through the air at giddy speed. The fokkers carry little or nothing in the way of replacements, so if Cadet J. A. Cardiff and his companion pilot, both of Rockwell field, are stalled" on the way, in Cardiff's own words, they will be up against it." The leu ton machines still bear the original markings and the German bl, k cross. They were brought direct to America from St. Mihiel.
 There will be 20 control stations, identical with the ones to be used by the fliers from Mineola field, who will start like flight tomorrow

MINEOLA, N. Y., Oct. 7.-Air Com modore L. E. O. Charlton, air attache of the British embassy at Washington, was selected tonight as the first aviator to be sent away from here tomorrow morning in the great transcontinental air race and reliability test to San Francisco and return. Commodore Charlton, who is the highest ranking officer entered in the contest, will fly a Bristol machine and will alternate as pilot with Flight Lieutenant P. D. Traill, also of the embassy staff.
 At sundown tonight 50 machines. representing eight different makes and resembling giant grasshopper, were lined up on Roosevelt field awaiting the signal of Major General Thomas H. Barry commanding the department of the east, which will send them 2,700 miles across eleven states. Seventeen other machines had either arrived and were being prepared by mechanics or were on their way here from neighbor- ing fields. Sixteen machines were pre- pairing to essay the eastbound trip from San Francisco. The contest is limited to 70 aviators.
 Commodore Charlton will be sent away promptly at 9 o'clock and one half of the other machines are sched- uled to follow promptly at two minute intervals. The other half are scheduled to leave in the early afternoon. Word was received here tonight that the first San Francisco entrant would be sent away at o'clock in the morning (Pa- cific time) which, allowing for the diff ference in time, would make an almost simultaneous getaway on both east bound and westbound flyers.

WILSON CONDITION
 MAKES ANOTHER CAIN
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-President Wilson's condition improved again to- day and his appetite, the failure of which has been one of the serious drawbacks to his recovery, showed a dcided change toward normal.
 So far had be progressed that his two married daughters, Mrs. William G. McAdoo of New York and Mrs. Francis B. Sayre of Cambridge, Mass, who came to his bedside several days ago returned to their homes tonight after consultation with the president's 8 physicians.
 Rear Admiral Grayson, the presi- dents personal physician, at 10 o'clock tonight issued the following bulletin
 "The president has had a comfort able day and is slightly improved
 Dr. Grayson and the other physicians showed a decided inclination to guard against over-optimism, however, as they believe another setback still is within the range of possibility. They continued Mir Wilson's confinement to bed and kept official business away from him.
 Messages of sympathy continued to pour into the White House today from all parts of the world Late today the following cablegram reached the White House from President Porras of Pa mama:

MORE DELAY FOR PEACE TREATY IN SENATE CHAMBER
Pact is Sidetracked For
 Three Hours While Sol- ;. ms Decide to M a k e 'ss row era Lieutenant

 Propaganda Charges
rRenuhllcan A. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-The peace treaty was sidetracked for three hours today while the senate debated and passed a bill to bestow on Judge Adv. General Crowder on his retirement from the army the permanent rank of lieutenant general.
 Then at three minutes to five o'clock about the usual adjournment time, the pact was called up and for 30 minutes a reading clerk struggled laboriously with the printed text until he reached the section relating to Shantung, on which the next fight will be made. At that the point the senate quit work for the night.
 There was no announcement regard ing any decision to take up other mat ters in place of the treaty and at 2 o'clock Senator Lodge, chairman of the foreign relations committee, walked into the chamber, while Sen ator Chamberlain, democrat of Ore gon, was speaking on the Crowder bill, looked around and learned that an agreement had been made to dis pose of the measure, returned to the cloakroom to wrestle with republican groups over reservations.

 Senator Lodge told members later that the agreements on the promo tion measure was made by Senator Knox, republican of Pennsylvania. who introduced it, and Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, in charge of the demo- cratic forces. Senator. Chamberlain, in opposing it, spoke for two hours and there was much debate before a vote was reached.
 During the morning hour" the two- hour period beginning at noon in which | everything on and off the calendar is discussed there was, however, a sharp wrangle over the league due to charges that the league to enforce peace and other organizations were putting out propaganda in an effort to force the senate to ratify the treaty unamended l Senator Brandegee, republican of 1 Connecticut, who recently announced that he would vote for all amendments and reservations and then vote against | ratification. started the clash by pre- senting telegrams and letters sent by 1 the League to Enforce Peace to one of his constituents at New Haven

WILL MAKE NJ HIKE
 IN FREIGHT RATES
 UNDER J. $. CONTROL

WASHINGTON. Oct. 7.-The rail- road administration will make no in- crease in freight rates before return of the railroads to private operation Jan uary |
 Director General Hines wrote T. De Witt Cuyler, chairman of the railway executives, today that it would be i'm possible for the government to estab- fish any general readjustment of rates" because earnings of the roads under the abnormal conditions prevailing in the early part of this year did not afford fair test of income
 The manifest desire of the public to have the interstate commerce commits sion to exercise full authority in any readJustment of rates to be effective under private control also was cited by the director general as an objection to the railroad administration undertak- ing such readjustment
 My view" wrote the director gen. eral, "has been and is that this import ant matter must be handled in accord ance with the two following considera- tions:
 "F1rst-The question of an increase of rates could not properly be consid- cred on the exclusive basis of the un- favorable showing which the railroad administration was making in the early part of this year because that showing was very largely due to an abnormally small freight business, so that the re : suits of that period could not fairly be taken as a test for making increases in rates. Necessarily, therefore, it seemed to me that the formulation of any proposal for a general increase in rates would have to await a better op- | portunity for making an estimate as to what the earning capacity would be un- der normal conditions I have been in creasingly confirmed in this opinion by the various developments which have l taken place.
 "Second-It has seemed to me that the public would not be satisfied under existing conditions to have any genera | increase in rates put into effect with out the concurrence of the interstate commerce commission. The public sen. | timent to this effect has. been mani fested in many ways throughout the | year and has been emphasized by thu recent passage of the two houses O. l congress bills providing that there shal be an opportunity to review any rate! proposed by the railroad administration
 before those rates shall go into effect
 It follows, therefore; that time and op
 portunity must be provided for publi,
 consideration by the regular rate -mak
 ing authority of any rate proposals nov
 made"

JOHNSON MAKES BITTER AT TACk
 ON LEAGUE PACT
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 7.-Attacks on article 10 of the league of nations covenant, on the ground that it would freeze the world into immutability and put it into a straight jacket" feat ured two addresses made here today by Senator Hiram w. Johnson, who began his campaign in the Pacific northwest against acceptance of the league of na- tions as now outlined. He will speak tomorrow in Tacoma and Seattle
 Subject peoples, under this cove nant, would remain subject till the crack of doom;" declared the senator today, adding that it would maintain the world under static conditions.
 Shall we guarantee the boundaries of Japan and the British empire?" he asked speaking at the chamber of commerce, and many of his TOO hearers answered the question with cries of mo, mo-" He was repeatedly interrupt ed by cheers and once brought the crowd to it's feet waving and shouting, by predicting that the reservations of the senate foreign relations commit tee would be adopted and that the president will accept them"
 Senator Johnson was described by Thomas McCusker, president of the Portland Employers association, who presided at the afternoon meeting as a man who would produce mot sophis- try, but hard boiled facts"
 R. W. Stanfield, wool grower of east ern Oregon, introduced the senator as ''the greatest fighter in the west"
 Describing the league of nations as conceived in stealth and secrecy, Sen- ator Johnson demanded that the people be given an opportunity to investigate it in public. He had no patience, he declared, with propaganda intended to hurry it through without investigation
 If 1 had my way" he declared, T would adjourn congress for three months and let every man go out and preach what is in his heart"

WHO INVENTED THE

 The testimony and the statements of the attorneys indicated that the tank was a sort of middle ground be- tween armored motor cars which wide trenches rendered ineffective and the huge steam rollers planned to batter down barbd wire and other obstacles.
 MT. Churchill testified that from the beginning of the war numerous plans of various types of land ships had been submitted. Eighteen of these appeared so feasible that models were construct ed and trials were made and it might be said that the original tank, first used in the Somme offensive in 1916 was the result of experience gained at the trials at each of these 18

Republican A. p. Leased wirel


 CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-Quiet reigned in the Chicago steel strike area tonight after a day of raids on the homes of agitators in Gary, where 1900 regular army troops are in control. Indiana state toops enforced martial law in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor.
 The days chief developments were the charges made by Major General Leonard Wood of the central depart ment of the army, and Mayor Hodges of Gary, that reds" had been at work attempting to foment trouble and the raids by government agents.
 A number of men suspected of red activities were haled before the mili- tary authorities and numerous others were taken on charges of carrying concealed weapons None of the all legged radicals was locked up, but some of those carrying weapons were still in the guard house tonight Federal agents seized much inflamma- tory literature and the activities of military. municipal and federal off cers and agents for the first time since the strike began took the minds of strikers and others off the indus trial struggle itself.
 AS far as the strike itself was con- cerned, there was little change today Several hundred men returned to work at the mills in Gary, Indiana Harbor South Chicago and Waukegan.

Seven others, suspected of being the leaders, after kissing the flag, were taken to the county jail at New Cumberland, where they will be held pending investigation by federal authorities.
 The raid was carried out with out any serious disorder. Author ities of Hancock county and Weir ton had been searching for the rem deZyous of the alleged l. w.

It was surrounded by heavily armed deputies and a few entered the barn. The few men in the barn sought to escape without sue cess.

 A crowd had gathered at the sta ton at Wauseon, but it was looking for king in uniform and did not recognize the tall figure which climbed out clad in what might have been the garb of an engineer, wearing a flannel army shirt and with cap on his head. But the citizens of Wauseon were in no worse plight than many of those travelling on the royal special. All of them recognized Bill" Nye, chief special agent of the state de- partment, but not his majesty.
 An American staff officer at tached to the party called out to Nye, "Where is his majesty?" and Nye grinned.
