Wilson is Anxious to Help
Settle Famine and Unrest
Among Peoples Friendly
to Allies.

Washington, Jan. l3.-Preaident
Wilson has sent message to the
chairman of the Congressional Appro-
priations committee urging them to
speed their action in the hundred mil
lion appr opriation for food relief in
Europe.
President Wilson said that Euro
pean statesmen urged immediate con
certed action as means of steming
the tide of famine and unrest, and
that food relief was the key 30 the
whole European situation and to So
tuition of peace.
The message pointed out that the
money was not to be spent for Ger
many. because the Germans could
pay for what they need but will be
used to finance the movement of food
to friends of the United States in
Poland and liberated parts of Aus
tria- Hungary and associated with this
country in the Balkans.

COLONIES PLAN
IS ATTACKED
BY REPUBLICANS !
Senator Knox Says Plan
/ Would Mean Preposter-
Gus Undertaking.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Republicans
of the senate today sharply attacked
the plan for dealing with German
colonies and occupied territories of
Turkey in Asia which it was an
nounced in Paris yesterday had been
proposed by President Wilson and ac-
cepted in principle by the supreme
council.
Senator Lodge, Republican leader,
declared the report of the plan which,
he said, would commit the United
States to cooperation in maintaining
order in the occupied territories, was
| absolutely unbelievable" and Sena-
tor Knox of Pennsylvania asserted
that the proposed obligations would
involve "a stupendous and preposter-
Gus undertaking"
Senator Johnson of California de-
nuonced the method of making pub
lie the proceedings at the peace con-
ference and declared he would never
vote for a treaty that provided for the
sending of American troops to Africa
or Asia.
Senators Walsh of Montana and
Lewis of Illinois. Democrats, express
sed doubt regarding accuracy of the
statements in the dispatches. The
latter declared the reported plan
would violate the fundamental prin-
ciple Of self determination of peoples,
| as applied to the German colonies,
and said he believed the real agree
ment was merely for the temporary
administration by the league Of ma
tiOns.

NO CHANGE
THE STRIKE
SITUATION
It is Believed More Trouble
Will Arise in Belfast
and Glasgow.

London, Jan. 31.-There was no
prospect today Of any betterment IN
the Labor situation in the United
Kingdom. If anything, the situation
both at Glasgow and Belfast has be-
come more serious.
The strike movement is spreading
to the large Industrial establishments
and disorders may entail the proc
lamation of martial law. The SER
iousness Of the situation was discussed
at special meeting of the cabinet
yesterday.
The view taken by the government
is that interference now would be
local and against the advice of the
respective trade unions. Moreover
there is an infinite variety in the de-
mands while many of the alleged
grievances are of q trifling character.
1t is believed that the absence OF
strike pay for the men will soon bring
about the collapse of the strike move
Inent.
The problem is how to re-establish
the authority of the trade unions and
assist in the expansion of machinery
of conciliation so as to enable each
trade to settle its own disputes.
The attitude of the employers Is
that they will refuse to negotiate un-
til the men resume work. :

ginning to realize the gravity Of the
situation. The power Of the Glasgow
strike committee appears to be IN.
creasing and is now exercising com
plete authority over the electrical de-
partment of the city. AS the large IN
dustrial plants almost without excep'
tion employ electric power the strike
committees control gives 1t a grea'
advantage. The supply OF electricity
has been reduced to one-tenth of the
normal, thereby causing number o.
plants to shut down and making
majority Of the city's working popula'
ton idle.

BELFAST SITUATION SAID TO
HAVE REACHED NATURE0F THAT
IN some OF THE GERMAN CITIES

London. Jan. s1.-onicials from
Belfast depict a situation there which
seems akin to that which. recently OBJ
tanned headway in German cities un-
der revolutionary rule. The governing
power has been usurped, says a Bel
fast dispatch to the Mail. by the strike
committee and the city is governed
not from the magnificent municipal
building known as the city hall. but
from the humble artisans hall.
There is no outstanding personali-
ty,' says the dispatch, but there is a
capable committee of trades union
leaders, msst of whom are moderate
and restrained. Nobody can do any
thing unless he comes, cap in hand. to
this committee. Even the police are
helpless and the chief of police has
asked the strike leaders to cooperate
with the constables in preventing dis
orders and lawlessness. When strikers
go to hotel to cut OF electric current
police accompany them. The post
master has thanked the strike COM
mittee for allowing the postoffice to
use electricity. S
