HUMPHREYS PLANS
COMMUNITY CLUB
As MEMORIAL.
Citv Follows Out Idea Of
Memorial to Serve the
Community.

The city council of Humphreys is
contemplating the establishment of a
community club house as memorial
to the men from Humphreys who fell
in the war against the Hun. Mayor
Arthur Hickey, of Humphreys, stated
to the council that he believed some
useful memorial such as community
house. would be of more benefit, and
would be more truly memorial than
a bronze shaft.
The matter was presented to the
council by Mayor Hickey, and was
referred to the building committee for
investigation and report. The city,
Mayor Hickey stated, owned four
lots which would be used for the
house. A one story club house, with
library, reading room, rooms for.
games, and pool and billiard rooms
| is contemplated the house to be about
SO feet by 80 feet.
In addition to the house itself, the
idea of the council is to have tennis
courts and childrens play grounds. A.
matron will be maintained, as it is the
Il plan to open the house to the use
of the girls and ladies as well as to
the men and boys. The cost Of the
memorial as contemplated. will be
about $4,000. Sketches will be pre-
pared by Selligman and Edelsvard,
lof this city.

WOULD SINK HUN
FLEET AS MORAL
LESSON OF WAR

London, May 3.-The greatest
moral lesson of the war would be
to sink the entire German fleet with
proper ceremonies Josephus Daniels,
American secretary of the navy, who
recently visited the captured German
vessels at Scapa Flow. declared in a
statement today to The Associated
Press.
"The German fleet should be sunk
in the opinion of American and Brit
ish technical experts in Paris" the
secretary said. "Those who are not
technical and who view the situation
entirely from the moral side have the
same idea and believe that the ships
should be sunk with bands playing
and flags flying to keep company
with the merchantmen the German
navy destroyed.
"These ships which recently view
ed are magnificent craft but very
useless as part of the American navy
In the first place you could never in
duce an American sailor to live in
the cramped and unhealthy quarters
even of the latter types, and noen has
bunker space sufficient for our needs
The ships undoubtedly were built fol
fighting in the North Sea and not fol-
long cruises as is necessary in oul
navy. Their armor, however is bet.
ter than the American or British"

WANT ITALIANS
BACK IN Time
TO SIGN PACT
Attempt At Compromise Is
Being Made.
STILL UNWILLING
TO GIVE UP WIUME
Claim Japan Was Given Chanting
To Save The League OF
Nations.

The Italian question again has come
to the fore in peace conference cir
cles as the time approaches for the
peace treaty to be handed to the Ger
man plenipotentiaries at Versailles.
Signs are increasing in Paris that
strong efforts are being maze there
and in Rome 10 bring the Italian dele
cation back to the French capital in
time for the signing of the German
treaty, If possible, or, at least in time
for the handing of treaty to the
Austrian delegates who are expected
shortly in Paris. Indications are that
progress is being made to adjust the
situation although the other powers
still are unwilling to give Fiume to
Italy.
Japan Gets Shantung.
The attitude of the council of three
regarding Fiume is compared by the
Chinese delegation in it's statement
with the reported solution of the
Shantung problem by which Japan
is to get the former German rights
there and later is to hand over the
territory to China. The Chinese state
ment says it is intimated that the de-
cision favorable to Japan was made
in order to- save the league of ma
tons. 1t is also pointed out in the
statement that there was secret
agreement between the allies to sup
i port Japan's claims of which China
had no knowledge. China claims
that .Germany's rights in Shantung
were abrogated when China declared
! war against Germany.
Another meeting with the Germans
will be held Sunday at Versailles
when the conference credentials COM
mittee will discuss the question OF
credentials with the Germans.
The council of three is reported to
have reached an agreement on Ger
man frontiers, giving Alsace-Lorraine
to France and prohibiting German
Austria from joining Germany. Sat-
urday the council considered DISPOSE
ton of the German cables question
and also consulted with the for
eign ministers and secretaries of
state.
On their eastern front the bolshe-
Wiki are retiring in disorder, it is re-
ported, after being defeated by ST.
berian forces. There have been no
details of the reported capture of Pet
rograd by the Films.
The Rumanian and Czecho-Slovak
governments have refused the offer
of the Hungarian communists to make
territorial concessions in return for
an armistice. Their armies continue
to march on Budapest.
Southwest of Vienna the Italians are
reported to have occupied bridge
over the river Brave in an advance
northeastward. In the same region
the Hugo-Slavs who have been fight
ing the Austrians in Carinthia are
said to be continuing their attacks to-
is held by the Italians.

Pig NUISANCE| IS
BEFORE COUNCIL
FOR DISCUSSION
Members Also Discuss Mat
ters To Be Acted Upon
At Meeting.

At an informal meeting of the city
council yesterday afternoon, matters
which will be brought up at the regu-
lar meeting Monday night were TAX
en- up, and discussed in an informal
way by the members of the council
The question of the pig nuisance
was given some consideration, and
although nothing definite was done,
it is quite probable that in accord
ance with an agreement reached yes
terday people of the city will be CIV
en- until June to get rid of the pigs.
Members of the council are frank
ly up against a problem in the mat
ter of the city pigs. AS expressed by
one member of the council, in this
time of high prices, it seems rather
hard to force people to get rid of
their pigs, and vet at the same time,
pig pens, with the natural filth which
is connected with them, together
with the most unwholesome orders
which emenate therefrom constitute
not only nuisance but really I'M
hygenic condition which is danger
GUS to the health of the city.
Other matters connected with the
proposed clean up by the city were
discussed. Mention was made of the
alleys, and other places of filth and
disease, and the council informally
went on record as indorsing the may
ors stand in regard to a clean up.
Other problems which be presented
at thee ouncil for official action Mon
dav night were threshed out.
The meetino. yesterday. according
to Mayor Hollis was an informal ses-
sion, and seemingly the details of
which are to be shrouded in a great
err haze of secrecy than the peace
conference at Versailles. When asked
about the meeting, Mavor Hollis
stated that there was nothing to be
given out.
Members of the council however,
seemed to fail to realize that the
session was such solemn
ly important, or magnificiently Sec
retive session, one of them stating
that the session was merely to thresh
out matters which would be brought
up at the regular meeting, and was
for the additional purpose of bring
| ing UP matters, which would be acted
on formally later. for the considera.
ton of the council members.
| Which seems a rather logical way
to look at the matter.

Will Fly High.

Washington, May 3.-Meterologists
of the weather bureau cooperating in
plans for the transatlantic flight
regard it as probable that the
three naval seaplanes will maintain an
altitude of from 1000 to 1000 feet
They believe the planes will not have
to fly as high as would trans-con'
tincntial aviator in order to derive
.he greatest possible assistance from
the winds.
Winds is the one element of para
mount Importance to a successful
flight, according to Prof. Charles F.
Marvin, chief of the weather bureau
An announcement today said:
Weather Bureau Aids.
"The weather bureau is using its
daily reports from all it's stations in
the continental United States to give
Indications of the most favorable day
for the long flight to begin: it has
arranged to receive wireless and
cable reports from observation sta
tions on the west coast of Europe from
Spitzbergen and Iceland in the
north to the Azores in the south; and
other reports are to come by wireless
from naval vessels posted on the At
lantic. All these reports are to be
summarized in Washington by Of
fetal forecaster, Major E. H. Bowie
who was forecaster for the American
expeditionary forces during the war
His forecasts will be transmitted to
Willis r. Gregg, a bureau metologist
who has gone to New Foundland.
"As far as storms go, the nava
aviators have little to fear. Wher
North America and the Atlantic are
clear of great atmospheric distur'
Dances, it is almost sure that an air
plane could travel over the whole
breadth of the ocean from west t!
east, without encountering storm,
said the bureau statement.
Compasses Fail.
Since compasses have been found tt
lose much of their precision on arr
planes, the experts of the weather
bureau believe they will be almost use
less on transatlantic flights.
"Under clear Skies" said the bur
eau's statement "sextant observation
make possible the correct determine
ton of positions but in cloudy wealth
er the compass is the only guild
unless aviator can fly high enough
to get above the clouds. It is be
lieved necessary that transatlantic
airplanes in the present stage OF de
velopment would be in constant toucl
with ships that could indicate posi-
lions by wireelss."

An1v One More Week Of the
Drive Remains.
hFFICIALS ARE
| A BIT CONCERNED
kolieye Individual Subscriptions Will
HIVE Tendency To Swell The
Final Reports.

Washington, May with two
Ueeks of the Victory Liberty loan
campaign gone and only one week re-
haining, only 81 ,657 ,979, 900 has been
Subscribed, the treasury reported to-
hight. This is 1854 per cent of the
Assoc, 100000 desired.
At the end of the second week of
The Fourth Liberty loan campaign,
when the total sought was one-third
kreater than now, the Nation had sub
Scribed $2,269,8 $4,000, or 1888 per
cent.
Officials explained today subscrp-
HONS were not piling up as fast as
Ithey had hoped when they arranged
Ia loan of comparatively small size.
[They said they were "a bit concerned
|but they were not ready to sound d
|nOte of alarm.
Big Purchases Few.
One of the most hopeful signs is
THAT many individuals are buying
Victory notes and indications are that
subscriptions tabulated to date include
rather small percentage Of purchases
|by banks or big corporations. The
governments financial men are anXi-
Gus for promotion of this condition
|Of wider distribution"
For example, $4,000 Of the 1,S40,00O
railroad employees in the U. S. have
subscribed and the proportion will
increase greatly on final reports, it
was announced by the railroad ad
'ministration. Subscriptions amounted
ito $79,493 900.
A ruling by the internal revenue
bureau today is expected to have a
stimulating effect upon corporation
subscriptions, namely that Victory
notes. are admissible assets for in
vested capital in computing war prof
Its and excess profits taxes.
Cleveland campaign managers to-
day reported that the riots of radicals
there on May day had stimulated Vic
tory note sales as a protest against
the rioters.

Ready For Start.

New York, May 3.-The giant sea-
planes NC-1, NC-3 and NC-4, will
chop off" from Rockaway beach on
the first leg of the U. S. Navy's
transatlantic flight at z a. m. one
day "earlv next week." according to
plans announced tonight by Com
mander John H. Towers, officer in
charge of the flight.
Commander Towers declined to fix
a more definite date.
Formally decorated today with the
Stars and Stripes and the navy pen
nant, the three big seaplanes appear
ed tonight to be ready for the start.
The NC-3 has had several satisfac-
tory test flights, and the NC-4 one
high successful test. The NC-1 made
several flights before her wings were
damaged in storm, and now, refit-
ted with the wings of the NC-2, is ex-
pected to perform as we'll as in the
past.
Commander Towers said a tele-
phone system had been installed in
the three planes which would enable
their commanders to converse with
each other from distance of Is
miles and also will enable the COM
mander and crew of any one plane to
communicate. Telephone headpieces
with receiver and transmitter will be
worn by all the aviators under their
helmets.
