An announcement by the post

der removing Messrs. Mackay, Cook

made necessary by the fact that
since the postoff1ee department re-

The reason for the refusal Of

The figure probably will be in
creased by later returns, since
some revenue collectors have not
yet reported their final tabulations.
This is more than the treasury

were that estimates made at the

Demand of u. s.

Paris, March 22.-Because of
President Wilson's desire to attend
the sessions both of the council of

mission, today's peace conference
program was reversed. The council
met at II o'clock this morning
while the league of nations body,

amendment proposed by the Swiss
delegation to the conference of

1t reads:
This covenant shall not be in
terpreted as containing anything
contrary to the sovereignty of
states except insofar as the state
itself, by adhering to the covenant,
shall consent, and the covenant it
self shall not interfere with the in
ternational affairs of any of its
members"
While the amendment does not
mention the Monroe Doctrine, it is
tacitly understood to apply to it.
Some of the members of the Amer
lean delegation are inclined to ac-
cept an amendment on such lines.
feeling that it would meet the de-
mand of the United States for a
declaration in the spirit of the
Monroe doctrine.
Discuss COercive Measure.
Delegates to the conference Of
neutrals devoted considerable time
today to the discussion OF an arti-
Gle of the league OF nations cove
nant which provides for coercive
measures against a state breaking
relations with the league without
submitting its grievances to the ex-
ecutiye body OF the league. Amend
mentS were prepared stipulating
that force might be used only in

brought to bear only after eco

Sen. POMERENE
BACKS LEAGUE
Declares Critics OF Plan are Unable
To Offer Better 0ne-WiIiing
TO Try IT.

Cleveland, O., March Speak
ing here today in support of the
league of nations, Senator Pomer-
enc. of Ohio, a Democrat, of the SEN
ate foreign relations committee
said that while preferring amend
ment of the proposed constitution
so as to make it more definite and
to specifically exemplify its prOyis-
ions regarding the Monroe Doc
trine, he would support it whether
it was changed or left untouched.
The address was delivered at a
luncheon of the Cleveland City
club.
Whatever Of imperfections there
may be in the proposed league Of
nations, said Senator Pomerene,
"I submit that up to date no better
plan has been proposed BY any of
the critics of the measure
Discussing recommendation made
by Senator Lodge, Massachusetts
and Knox, Pennsylvania. Repub-
licans, that considerations of plans
for the league be deferred until
after peace has been established,
Senator Pomerene said the league
and the peace treaty were SO inter
twined that one without the other
would be worthless.
Senator Pomerene said he would
prefer to have amended Section VII
which gives Great Britain and her
dominions five votes in the body of
delegates. but added that an exam
ination of the document showed
safeguards which relieved this fea-
ture of its principal objections.
For one, | am willing to try the
experiment. the senator conclud-
ed. Il submit that whatever the re-
suits may be. the efforts for peace
in this behalf can not be worse in
their consequences than was the
war
The danger is not yet over. SO
long as the allied troops are in the
field there may be no danger from
the German armies. But there is an
enemy looming up in the far east
which threatens to be even as de-
structive to the civilization of the
world as the German forces-that
is the spirit OF IawIessness which
prevails among the bolsheyiki and
in Germany. and Austria. ever the
common foe of our civilization, the
foe of all government-and
it behooveS the United States and
her allies to take common counsel
for the defense of humanity"

Paris. Friday, March 81
(By the Associated P-ess)-A
special session of both houses
of the American congress prob
ably will be called TO assemble
about the middle of May, tho
date when President Wilson
hopes to return to the United
States.
It is possible that if the treaty
of peace is sufficiently advanced 10

session of the senate NAV be called
even earlier to afford il opportu-
nifty to deal with this subject be-
fore being called upon to direct its

cial affairs.
Wilson Not Decided.
It is held TO be unnecessary. for
President Wilson t. be II Wash
ington when the call for such
session is issued. for this may be
c-lled from Paris in advance of
his departure from France. Mr,
Wilson, however, has reached no
decision regarding the question
and is reserving the shaping Of his
course Of action until he has a
more definite idea OF the date OF
his return TO America.
May Make Speaking Tour.
The president is also keeping iE

tion appears to him to demand
such action, il is not unlikely that
shortly after his return from

Washington. March 22-It was
said unofficially at the White house
today that President Wilson might
return TO the United States by MAY
l. leaving Paris Immediately after
reaching an agreement on the prln-
tlpdl itdLuIbS VI iIlt pGdCt treaty
without waiting for the actual sign
ing of the document
An extra session OF congress not
later than May 10, now is regarded
as a certainty among officials and
leaders in congress, and the presi-
dent is able to return as early az
May !. both houses may be called
to meet very shortly after that date.
Appropriations Badly Needed.
Government departments by re-
sorting to various methods are
meeting the situation created bv
the failure of appropriation bills
IN the last congress, but it is re
Rarded as essential that these
measures be passed before the end
of the fiscal year June so.
The suggestion in Associated
Press report dispatches from Paris
that the president might summon
the senate in separate session to
consider the peace treaty in ad
"ance of the meeting Of both houses
was received with great interest.
II was noted in this connection that
the Republicans VINO will control
the senate have taken no steps to-
ward organization Although the
house Republicans virtually have
completed their work.
