COUNCIL TO SEND NOTE
 ID RUMANIA
Ask That Country to Evacu- ate Budapest Without
 Delay

Paris, Nov. 3-The supreme coun- ell today decided to send another note to Runania reiterating the re- quest made of her in the notes de- hvered on October IT by the Ameri- can. British and French governments but not delivered by any representa- tive of the Italian government It has developed that as the result of the failure of Italy to present the note at Bucharest the RUmanian government failed to reply, saying it did not understand that all the great powers concurred in the note.
 The note asks Rumania to evacuate Budapest, states that she will not be given addi iOnal territorial conces- sions, and requests that she name a member of the inter-allied commis- sion which will pass upon the amount of supplies taken from Hungary by the Rumanians.
 Lack of cooperation among the Allies in dealing with Rumania is re- garded by many of the delegates to the Peace Conference as responsible for Ruman as defiant attitude. and it has been made clear by several of he delegations that the great powers must all co-cp par-te in this situation or go on record within a few days as being opposed to bringing Rumania to termse

MUCH INTEREST CENTERS AROUND
 OHIO ELECTION
Only State Voting Upon Statewide Prohibition
 This Fall

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 3-Spokes- men for both the vets and the drys today made claims to victory at to- morrow's election, at which Ohioans will vote upon repeal of statewide prohibition and other prohibition measures. Following are the prohibt- tion measures to be voted upon:
 1-Proposed constitutional amend ment providing for the repeal Of statewide prohibition and re-estab- lishment of the license system
 2-Proposed national amendment defining intoxicating liquor as that containing more than PTS per cent. alcohol ''by weight"
 S-Referendum on action of Ohio legislature in ratifying the federal prohibition amendment.
 +ReferendUm on the Crabbe state wide prohibition enforcement bill passed by last legislature.
 Much interest centers in the Ohio election tomorrow as this is the only state voting upon statewide prohibi- ton this fall. To date Ohio is the biggest state having voted prohi'bi- tion. The effort to repeal prohibition, a5 5opted by the voters a year ago by a 25CC0 majority, comes after less than six months of the dry regime, as pro- hibi.ion did not go into effect until May 27 this year.

In other words, if a riveter working in the shipyard, is a civil employe on Nov. 1, was he not a civil ampIoye on the last day of October, or a year ago, or two years ago."
 The compensation benefits under the Federal Compensation Act are much higher than under the Compensation Act of this state.
 T. is believed that all the cases that have already been decided can be reopened and new settlements claimed.
 The applications for compensation under the Federal Act must be made to the Federal Compensation Com mission, composed of Mrs. Frances c. AXtell, chairman; John J. Keegan and R. M. Little, at Washington, D. c.
 Compensation Commissioner Buck ingham says that any future claims for compensation coming from .em- ployes of the shipyards will undoubt- edly be held up until the State Com pensaton Commission receives a rul- ing as to whether the claimants must proceed in Washington or through the State Commissioners.

 Dabbs was removed to St. Vim cents hospital, and is now receiving trea tnlent for a fractured right an- kle and numerous cuts and abrasions about the head. His condition is not considered serious.
