Heroic French Mar Doa Honored by Arn1u N0W An American, Thanks to YMCA. Man
Loost, Credited With Two Official Citations, Spent Years Tn No Mans Lond on Slopes Of Verdun Pro- fecting Cutposts from Ger man Raiders and Patrols.

If the airmen were the eyes of the army, this dog was the ears of at least part of it. For two years he lay every night out~in No Man s yand, watching and listening for German patrols and raiding parties.

Loost came into the hands of the French War Dog Society which en- couraged the breeding of such dogs long before the war and later has taken care of those animals which became disabled or too old to be longer fit for active work. It was while he was a guest" of the so- ciety that Loost met his present owner, Ralph H. McKelvey, a New York insurance broker, who was 1oing welfare work in France for he Y.M.C.A.

Army Appropriation
Bill Is Held Up by
Parliamentary Tiff

Washington, June R.-Finai ac-
ton on the 1920 army appropria-
ton bill was delayed in the house
as the result of brisk parliamen-
tiary skirmish over a proviso pro-
hibiting the war department from
using any part of the appropriation
or any unexpected balances now in
its possession for the purchase of
additional lands for army purposes.
Reductions totaling $50, 500,OOO
were made, reducing the total from
$810, 900, 900 to $718,6s0,000, or $685.
100000 less than original war de-
partment estimates.
Representative Madden, republi-
can, of Illinois, declared that more
than 100000 acres of land had been
purchased near Camp Benning, Ga,
at a cost of about 100000 for a
small arms practice field, even
though a similar field existed at
Fort Sill, Okl. He characterized
this as a criminal misuse of the
governments money which should
be considered the same as embezzle-
ment." R representative McKensie.

this was only one Of numerous

Democrats replied to the charges
by declaring that they were as much

,Juarez Still Held
by Federal Forces,
But Rebels Approach

Juarez, June 12.-After day of
anxiety Juarez is still in the hands
of the forces of the federal govern
inent. Rebel troops are reported on
three sides of the town at distances
variously estimated at from 2 to 20
miles, the latter estimate being that
of the federal commander, Gen.
Francisco Gonzales.
Several times during the day
there have been reports that the
rebels were coming, which caused 4
scurrying indoors, but each time the
report proved false.
The military authorities are re-
ticent about the whereabouts Of the
rebels, but the general belief is that
to the east of Juarez they are just
beyond rifle range OF the federal
trenches. This belief is confirmed
by observers with field glasses who
watched dust clouds moving from
the southeast, indicating the pres
ence of considerable force of
mounted men.
Five hundred federal cavalry who
left in that direction early this
morning had not returned up to 8
o'clock tonight, but General Con-
zales says he has been in constant
touch with them through runners.

IN SESSION
Immediate Resumption oi
Hostilities Planned in Event
That Germany Refuses
to Sign Pact.

Paris. June l2.-Marshal Foch and
General Weygand had two CON
ferences Wednesday with Premier
Clemenceau, at which they discussed
the question of an immediate re-
sumption Of hostilities and a con-
certed advance by the allies, SAYS
Marcel Hutin in the Echo de Paris.
The general opinion is, the writer
adds, that Count Won Brockdorff-
Rantzau has committed himself too
far to be able to sign the treaty.
= also is believed that the Scheide-
mann ministry will be swept away
to make room for ministry of mod
crate independent socialists, which
will be joined by Matthias Erberger
chairman of the German armistice
commission. This ministry, ii is de-
clarcd, would be disposed to accent
the allied conditions, which it prob
ably would do about July /.
Complete Accord Reached.
A complete accord has been
reached in principle on all questions
connected with the reply to the
German counter proposals. This
statement was made in responsible
quarters.
French and American peace con-
ference circles are highly gratifcd
ut this favorable turn, after the nro-
longed differences Of the past forf-
night, verging on 4 deadlock. The
accord includes the Silesian du~s.
ton, the proposed admission of
Germany to the league of nations,
and reparations, which were the
chief subjects of differences among
the delegates.
The agreement in princinlc
leaves only the details and drafting,
which, it is said. could be accom-
plished by Friday night, though the
expectation is that actual delivery
of the document to the Germans
will not take place before Saturday
night.
The agreement concerning the ad-
mission of Germany is the same as
drawn by Lord Robert Cecil and
Colonel House, with the omission
of the fourth condition, requiring
Germany to abandon compulsory
military service. M. Clemenceau,
president of the conference, con-
tested this condition as likely to
precipitate the same question in
France and the council finally
dropped it. No time has been fixed
for Germany's entrance, but If she
conforms to the conditions, il is
expected that she will be repre-
sented at the first meeting Of the
assembly.
The Silesian settlement is based
on plebiscite for the disputed
Polish-G German region.

RAILROAD KEY .
men TO ASSIST
OPERATORS OUT
Have Been Ordered to Discon.
tinue Handling Commercial
Business After 6 A. M.
! on Saturday.

Chicago, June l2.-Despite claims
of union officials that $4,000 tele-
graph operators were idle today and
that the tie-up would be complete
by Monday, commercial telegraph
business. particularly between the
larger cities, is being handled on
practically a normal basis, accord
ing to reports to the commercial
companies here.
Officers of the Commercial Tele-
graphers' Union of America, who
called the strike to enforce demands
that workers be permitted to organ
ize, bargain collectively and obtain
adequate wages" were elated over
an announcement from St. Louis
that railroad operators were ordered
to discontinue handling commercial
business after E a. m. Saturday. The
order was issued by E. ]. Manion,
president of the Order of Railroad
Telegraphers and affects $4,000 op-
orators, it was stated.
Whether the railroad operators
will be called out on sympathetic
strike will depend upon develop
ments of the next few days, it was
stated.
Further Confidence Gained.
The strike leaders gained further
confidence through adoption by the
American Federation of Labor of
resolution pledging moral support
to the strike called for June l6, by
the international brotherhood of
Electrical Workers. The union men
claim the brotherhood has a men,
bership of more than 100000, which
includes the bulk of the union tele-
phone oerators throughout the
country. Charles Ford, secretary
of the brotherhood, denied reports
that some of the members already
had walked out in sympathy with
striking telegraphers.
S. ]. Konenkamp, president Of the
Commpercial Telegrahers' Union of
America, who is directing the strike
from headquarters here, after a
number Of long distance telephone
conversations with eastern repre-
sentatives, declared assurance had
been given that the broker operators
in New York would join the strike
as soon as developments warranted
such action.
Meanwhile officials of the West
ern Union Telegraph company,
claim that the strike has been a
complete failure, so far as that COM
pany is concerned, and officials of
the Postal Telegraph company as
sert that traffic is being moved with
out interruption.

Foreign Relations Committee
Reports FavorabIy On Reso-

Washington, June 12.-The reso-
luton Of Senator Knox, Of Penn
sylvania, a former republican secre-
tary of state, to have the senate de-
clare definitely it cannot accept the
league of nations interviewer with
the peace treaty, was put on the
calendar of the senate for consider
alton early next week.
In reporting the measure the for
eign relations committee amended
it, however, to strike out the Sec
ton, which would have declared it
policy of the American govere-
ment to cooperate in combating
any future menace to the peace of
Europe. T..
The provision was eliminated by
friends of the resolution after it
became apparent that otherwise ia
vorable committee action on the
measure might be endangered.
On the motion to amend, as well
as on the final vote for a favorable
report, all the democratic members
voted in the negative, and in each
case they we're joined by Senator
McCumber, republican, of North
Dakota, league supporter. On final
approval the vote stood 8 to 7.
When the measure comes up the
first of the week, its supporters will
try to press it to an early vote so
that if adopted it will reach the
Versailles conference before the
signing of the treaty. The league
supporters are expected to make a
bitter fight against any such action.
While they disclaim any intention
to conduct filibuster, they say they
will not permit vote until the res
olution has been discussed at length
