RETURNS OF ELECTIONS
TO PRUSsIAN ASSEMBLY

Berlin, Wednesday. Jan. 29.-(By the
A. P)-UnofficiaI returns from Sun
days elections to the Prussian assem-
bly,, without taking Posen's twenty
one delegates into consideration, show
the selection of 142 socialists, q in
dependent socialists, 81 Christian
Peoples Party, Al German National
lists, Is German Peoples Party, 81 dem
ocrats, six Guelps and one democrat
peasant
The socialist are not likely to have
more than four of Posen's delegates,
which would make the combined So
cialist strength in the state diet 10,
as again 231 bourgeoisie delegates
The results of the popular vote as far
as it has been tabulated show a con-
siderable loss for the radical parties
two socialist factions and the demo
grassland small gains for the national
and Christian Peoples parties when
compared with the national assembly
results.
The conservative and national liber-
al press halls the result as evidence
that the people are beginning to weary
of the governments methods since the
revolution. The radical press thus fan
has not commented on the elections.

PLANNING COMMISSION
FOR WORLD FOOD RELIEF

Washington, Jan. 30.-Correspond-
ence between Colonel E. NJ. House, as
the American representative on the
Supreme War Council, and the foreign
ministers of Great Britain, France and
Italy showing the origin and develop
ment of the commission for world food
relief with Herbert c. Hoover as di-
rector general, was made public today
by the state department.
The original plan as suggested by
President Wilson providing among
other things for the use of German
passenger tonnage in returning Ameri-
can and British troops home and car
rying food on the return trips, was ac-
cepted subject to a few changes re-
commended by the French government
and approved by the other gorven-
ments These included provision for
a commission to direct the work
through the director general rather
than that this responsibility be left
with the supreme war council.
Vile readily agreeing to the pro-
posal that America should take the
manag agement OF the administre ton OF
relief, the French foreign minister saiG
! it was vital that the aid given be
as coming from all the allies, and thar
; the enemy should not consider that
/ divergence of views exist in the reali.
/ zation. of humane purpose as lofty az
| that which the associated govern
mentS actuated by the same spirit arr

APACHES OF PARIS DRESSED
In AMERICAN UNIFORM

Paris, Jan. 30.-(By The A. P.) That
Apaches of all nationalitieS dressed in
American uniforms We're mainly re-
sponsibIe for the acts of violence
which have caused broadcast public
ity to be given to an alleged Amert-
can crime wave in Paris was shown
by an investigation conducted by The
Associated Press today.
1t was further asCertained that as
saults and holdups are infnitesimal in
number as compared with the publish
ed figures of the crime wave, existing
nearly exclusively in the vivid imagi-
nation OF sensational local newspapers.
An opportunity was pr scented to
verify at polI<e headquarters the fig
ures respecting crimss dur. ng last De-
cember Thirty four murders charged
to Americans were discredited and
dwindled to two; PA holdups and as
saults were reduced by eighty per
cent.
There have been numerous fistic en-
counters, however, but they were most

rough and tumble braWls. in which ar
rests are rarely made in American cit
les.
Brigadier General William ".
Harris, Of the United States army, in
a statement given out today, says.
| fhe reports concerning the large
number of murders by American SOL
diers in Paris are untrue. They are
greatly exaggerated. The number of
military police in Paris has been in
creased merely because OF the greater
number of soldiers passing through
the city, not because of unusual dis
order. The statistics show that the
American soldiers are maintaining
their high standard of discDli II

LOYAL TO HER FELLOW
TELEPHONE WORKERS

Boston. Mass, Jan 30-AIiss Julia
S O'Connor, president OF the Tele-
phone Operators Union OF this city,
today announced her resignation from
a committee apprin Id by Postmasten
General BuulesOn to investigate wages
and working. conditions of telephone
and telegraph employees. Continued
membership III the committee, Mr.. o.
Connor says in her letter of resigna-
tiCn, addressed to Mr.. Burleson on
January 2S, would amount to a seri-
Gus betrayal Of the rights and inter-
eSts of my fellow workers whom YOU
have charged me to represent there
On
Miss O'Connor charges that the COM
m ttee has been hostile to organized
telephone and telegraph workers and.
although created to investigate rates
| OF pay and conditions of work of wire
i employees, has attempted no procedure
worthy of the name. Just grievances
| resulting in widespread discomfort
| have received no attention, she says,
while government control of the wire
| system has been accompanied by the
repud !ation of agreements and to per-
i secution of members of the unions.
| After explaining that it is an un-
| fieasant duty to make representation
| of the United States government as
! ''an autocratic and unfair employer OF
| wage earners," Miss O'Connor saws:
''The sittings of the committee have
! been infrequent and desultory: its
! achievements fragmentary: it has NJ
! avowed policy;fits one consistency has
| been hostility to the organized tele.
