A council of ten will not be constituted

Foreign Minister Tittoni made il
clear at the meeting that Italy desires
tnat all territory taken from Austria
be definitely disposed of in the Aus
trian treaty. This Immediately pro
iects into the foreground the Fiume
question, which it had been hoped
could be avoided.
While the council received the i'm
preston from Signor Tittoni that the
new Italian delegation Will be more
cons derate than the DID, it was q dis
tnct disappointment when he cX-
pressed Italy's desire to have all the
territory taken from Austria definite
ly allotted in the Austrian treaty, as
this makes it unlikely that the Aus
trian treaty can be concluded this week
and foreshadows lengthy discussion
OF the question.
The council decided to appoint a com
mittee to execute the German treaty,
and also committee for the execution

CONGRESS TACKLING
RED .REVOLT PROBLEM
May Continue the Espionage Act and
Restrict immigration for Term of
Years.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Disorders in |
several American cities in the last few
months and the sending of bombs through |
the mails to public officials, have brought |
two issues definitely before the new CON |
gress-the extension of the espionage act, |
modltid for peace conditions, and the re-
modified for peace conditions, and the re
striction of general immigration
The latter problem was carefully con-
sidered In the last session and the house
committee on immigration favorablv re-
ported a bill to cheek immigration for a
period of four years. 1t was lost in the
legislative jam in the final days. Al
though there was strong protest against
the measure from prominent citizens and
even the state, department, sentiment in
| the house then appeared to favor its pas
sage. Since the riots in Cleveland and
other cities, uprisngs which have oc-
CURED chiefly among the working class
of unnaturalized citizens, Representative
johnson, chairman of the immigration
committee, who has just offered a bill
to carry out the provision of the original
measure, says the need for such a law is
more apparent than necessary
\ Organized labor leaders are behind the
measure and some students of govern
men who want to see socialism uprooted
are supporting it in the belief that immi-
grafton from now on for many years will
bring into this country some of the worst
elements and preachers of bolshevism. On
the other hand, another element strict
Interpreters of the constitution, says that
it is against the spirit of American insti-
tutions to restrict immigration generally.
The immigration committee will begin
!, hearings upon the bills this week, and it
is expected that the arguments will bring
, to the front many phases of industrial and
, sociological questions that will be of great
interest at this time Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation of
Labor, and Secretary of Labor Wilson
are in favor of restricting general immi-
grafton for period of four years.

DELAY RAILROADS
RETURN, SAYS ESCH
Wants Congress to Determine Rail
road Legislation First-Hines Going
Before Committee.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-begisla-
ton OF the utmost Importance to bust |
ness stability will be before congress
this week, when Walter D. Hines. di
rector general of railroads, will appear
before the appropriation committee and
explain in great detail the condition of
the railroads, which require at least ST.
200,000,000 and perhaps more to carry
them safely into next year.
The inquiry which will be made by
the appropriation committee will go
into the policy of turning back the rail
roads at the end of the year as recon-
mended by President Wilson.
Representative Esch, chairman of the
interstate commerce committee who is
preparing a measure to turn back the
railroads, will sit with the committe
and devote himself to questioning Mr.,
Hines on policies and what must be
done for the carriers to put them
on stable ground after they have been
released by the government.
While there is no doubt as to what
action congress will take in the matter
of providing the increased revolving
fund of ST 200, 100000 there is strong
division of opinion in congress as to
what course should be taken in the way
of providing legislation for the roads
after they are given over to the pri
vate owners. That the operating ex
penses have been increased greatly by
reason of wage increases, without a
commensurate increase in freight and
passenger rates, is generally conceded
| by Republicans, who viii have the re-
sponsibility of framing legislation for
| the roads in the future.
! Representative Esch said yesterday
that for one, he was opposed to turning
| back the railroads until congress had
determined upon a policy of railroad
legislation.
! 1.-The railroads must be placed in a
position to go on at proper interest
paying rate" he said; sat the same
time the interest of the public must be
protected Sane legislation cannot be
enacted hastily. This is vast subject
as the matter of transportation affects
the prosperity of the whole country. II
may be necessary TO pass resolution
instructing the President to retain the
railroads until some time next year, un
less congress in its wisdom devlses laws
that will be effective both as to tho
public and the carriers under private
ownership and operation.
The hearing may develop suggestions
that are acceptable to committee:
which will frame railroad legislation
As soon as the apportionment commit
tee has. ended its hearing the inter
state commerce committee intends t
take up the recommendations of Pres
ident Wilson as to turning back thu
/, railroads at the end Of the year. Rail
) road presidents and government Off
, cials will be asked to give their views
as to what must be done to restore TIT
Z carriers to their owners.
Indications are that there viii be NJ
definite action on such bill until tn
regular session, although the policy vii
be determined upon as the. result OF al
interchange of views.

haul lot of dusty tools out of dark

You whistle as you lay the tools out
in a nice neat row. You hum little
song as you take off the hood, unravel
a few magnetic coils, and carelessly twirl
a couple of spark plugs between your fin
gers. You yodel the latest popular airs as
YOU whack away at the carbureter and ex-
tract the bolts from the rear axle And
the nelghbors, half a block away, hear
your carols of glee and think of turning III
a riot call as YOU unmesh the transmission
and do a lot of queer things to piston
rings and cylinder heads.
About noon YOU have the car pretty
well scattered over the interior landscape
of your garage You are still smiling,
but rather thoughtful, as you hustle
through the noon meal like a wet goods
| salesman scurrying through dry town,
You crack lot of jokes and you skill
| fully evade your wife's worried eyes.
During the afternoon you successfully

finally get it fixed up-the only trouble
being that you have 10 or 20 superfuons

and three other representatives of the
Chinese government at Canton, who are
now in Paris, have cabled to the Unit
ed States congress an appeal for assist
tnce against the transfer of Germany s
interests in China to Japan.
This MEANS says the appeal,
that, while Prussianism has been de
stroyed in every other region in the
world, America and her allies have de-
cided to perpetuate it in China in the
interest of Japan. If the tragic settle
ment stands unaltered, either China s
manpower and resources must pass
under japanese dominion, or China must
forthwith abandon the pursuits of peace
and arm herself.
