Deduction Drawn From Gen.
March's Announcement That
32nd Infantry Had Been Or
dered Concentrated in Genoa
EMBARRASSING SITUATION
CREATED BY ITALY'S ACTS
Indications That Americans
Used to Further italian Aims
Along Adriatic; Total Battle
Deaths, 1854, 900 in War.
BY CARL D. GROAT.

Washington, March 1.-American
troops, assigned to duty with the Ital-
ians. are apparently destined to come
home soon.
This was the deduction drawn to-
night from Chief of Staff March's an
nouncement of advices saying that the
332nd infantry Of the S3rd division had
been ordered concentrated at Genoa.
The concentration order was signifi-
cant, not alone for it's homecoming.
but also because it marked the culmi-
nation of situation wherein lay the
seeds of difficulty. These troops, the
only regiment assigned to Italy, had
been dispatched to Fiume, Cattaro and
Trieste, and were assigned to occupa-
ton duty.
TICkLlSH SITUATION.
Out of this arose situation which
proved somewhat embarrassing since
there were indications that the Amer
leans were being used to further Ital-
ian aims along the Adriatic.
The Italians, it is reported, have ta-
ken advantage of the fact that the
Americans were welcomed in the land
along the Adriatic and 1t is known that
the war department has heard reports
that in some cases the Italians were
seeking to have the Americans over
step the territorial lines laid in the ar
mistice terms.
incidentally, the war department was
advised today that there is no truth to
recent reports that the American forces
in Italy were poorly clad or Ill fed.
7,s54,o0o TOTAL DEATHS.
Startling figures from official sources
given by March showed that the toll
of the world war battle deaths was
7,354,000. Russia led with a total of
/, 100000; Germany was second with
/, 500, 900; France, third, with 1,3s5,000,
while Austria and England followed.
The United States was listed last with
$4,000.
The chief announced, too, that total
rehabilitation Is now 1,301,959.
A table of awards of distinguished
service crosses showed that the Fight
ing Second" led with 664 awards, while
the First was second with 900.

PROJECT TO BE LEADING
ISSUE IN 1920 CAMPAIGN
President Counts Heavily on
Taft's Support to Win Over
America; Hopes the Present
Covenant Will Be Adopted.
By ROBERT ]. BENDER.


Washington, March President
Wilson will sail for Europe Wednesday
with no congressional endorsement Of
his league of nations covenant.
Leaving a tremendously confused sit
iuation in the senate, the president will
carry back to the peace conference
however, the very distinct impression
that the Republican party which will
be in control when he comes back, will
bitterly oppose ratification of a treaty
containing the present covenant, until
modified. His difficulty, in the absence
of any adopted resolution calling for a
specific amendment, is to determine
what, if any. amendments he should
try to make before the conference.
He would prefer that the document
be adopted in Paris much as it stands.
And this is likely to be the ultimate re-
suit, according to all indications now.
TO BE LEAD ISSUE
At this time, it appears certain
the league will be foremost issue
in the 1920 campaign, with former
President Taft booming the league
as Republican leader, Wilson as
the Democratic leader, and both Of
them under attack within their re-
spective parties.
The president is counting greatly on
Taft's support and believes that the
campaign of education, which win con-
tinue from the time they both speak
In New York from the same platform
Thursday night, will swing the country
Into line behind the project.
Senate debate on the league of ma
tions today ranged from caustic criti-
cism of President Wilson to a judicial
analysis of the leagues constitution.
AssAILs PRESIDENT
In his Swan song to the senate,
Hardwick, Georgia, whom President
Wilson's opposition defeated for re-
election, assailed the president as
usurper of congressional powers. He
declared the president had ignored the
federal courts, has fouted congress and
has now packed all the inherent con-
stitutional rights of American citizens
to Paris to be delivered to a set of
foreign diplomats and rulers. Hard
wick warned the Democrats that they
may be. driven out of power, when
the American people remedy this evil,
as they surely will remedy it,"
He demanded that the national policy
pC 'tIint ~ lslblcHuiilS 10 nome 1IIalrS
instead q getting into a league which
he said would prove a heavy drain on
American blood and treasure.
URGES FIRM STAND
HardWick urged senators opposing
the league not to let presidential influ-
ence divert them from their stand.
Senator Knox, Pennsylvania. former
ly secretary of state. and one who will
be member of the senate foreign rela-
tions committee of the coming Repub-
lcan congress, attacked the presidents
covenant with the statemnt that it
failed to eradicate war, and actually
sanctioned, bred and commended wars.
He submitted substitute, the main
features of which were an international
court to interpret and enforce code
of international morals, and a provision
for making war a criminal offense
against all the world.

Supreme War Council to Take
Action Early Next Week to
Relieve Boche and Thereby
Ease Revolt Peril.
NEW ARMISTICE TERMS
PUT CLAMP ON HEINlES
Paris Press Declares Hun Army
Stripped to 100000, Victors
to Supervise Factories Manu-
featuring War Materials.
BY FIRED S. FERGtsoN.

Paris, March 1.-THE supreme war
council will take steps early next week
to ease the food blockade of Germany,
1T was forecast in certain official quar-
ters tonight.
The new economic council is re-
ported to have informed the war coun-
Gil that the blockade must be raised
or a preliminary peace effected at
once. The decision of the economic
council was supported by a memoran-
dunn submitted by the British dele
gates outlining their view of condi-
tons in Germany and emphasizing the
necessity for immediate action. This
is understood to coincide exactly with
arguments which the Americans have
advanced for weeks past. The French,
who now are openly in favor of
prompt peace, are also expected to
indorse the proposed economic pro-
gram.
WILL EASE UNREST.
1t is not the intention Of the peace
conference to interfere with develop
ments Of the new German revolution,
but 1t is generally realized that ship
ment of food and materials into the
enemy country will enable thousands
to obtain employment, and thus assure
stabilization of conditions. Germany's
reserve food supply will be exhausted
this month. The allies are expected
to guarantee delivery of only enough
to last until the new crops are avail
able. Germany paying for the food as
fast as it is delivered.
In considering details of the new
economic program. the supreme war
council will also discuss the additional
terms, the special commits
sion having completed it's work on
that subject.
FocH's NEW TERMS.
Paris newspapers claim to have in
side information on what the new
terms will comprise. According to the
Echo de Paris, Marshal Foch recon-

the exception of 25 divisions, and al
lied control Of factories capable of

summary of what it says will be the
principal clauses of the peace prelimi-
naries:
Reduction of the German army to
200, 600 men and it's armament to be
subject to severe rules.
Limits to be fixed by the allies on
the production of artillery and aircraft

AGREE ON kAIsER's GUILT.

THE committee on responsibilities,
called the hanging committee has d.
vided itself into three sub commit
tees, all of which are now getting to
the end of their work and ought to
be able by Tuesday or Wednesday to
make their report to their parent COM
mission. The b-committee, which
has to do with questions Of fact, has
been emphatic in it's agreement on the
kaiser's guilt.
Mandates dealing with the Samoan
Islands, German East Africa and Ger
man Southwest Africa have been draft
ed and are almost ready for presenta-
ton, and there would seem to be no
reason to expect opposition either from
New Zealand, South Africa, or the
British government to the proposed
terms.
"A special committee has been set
up in order to insure that the work of
other committees which deal with ter
ritorial questions may be investigated
as whole and presented from the
broad world point of view to the coun-
Gil of ten before submission to the

Tom Mix Is to appear at the Hip for
a three days engagement beginning
this morning, in one of his fastest pro-
auctions, Fame and Fortune" Every
body knows Tom Mix, and everybody
realizes that there is not a man in
western Characterization that is his
equal. Everybody knows that to see a
Tom Mix picture is to see a production
replete with genuine thrills, tense ac-

the elements of the successful motion
picture story combined. And every
body knows that Tom Mix never dis

Tom Mix is seen in some of the most
daring Craftsmanship he has ever done
for the camera He is shown in fights,
he is shown in dramatic gun play, and
he is shown in charming love story,
and all in one picture.
There is a certain originality In all
his work that lifts it out of the COM

fact that he has the nerve to do the
stunts himself, endears him to every
one. For it is well known fact that

A PAIR Of QUEENS"
IS MERRY FARCE At
THE ELKS THIS WEEK

"a Pair Of Queens" one Of the mer-
riest and livliest Of farces ever staged,
will De the bill at the Elks theater for
Monday Tuesday and Wednesday and

previous record of the Elder Stock

Broadway success. it having had a long
and brilliant run at the 39th Street

To tell all the fun and action in "a
Pair of Queens" would be an impos-
sibility for it is filled with it from the
first flash Of the curtain until the fl
male and the situations are ludicrous
in the extreme. There is spice in the
lines and an abundance of broad COM

two queens. They have a hilarious
time and make engagements to meet
them at their home the next day.
That is the start Of the fun and also
the complications, for there are two
boob detectives in this merry play and
they manage to mix up whatever else
is not tangled by the brokers and the
two queens.
