 and Satisfactory Conclu- sion-The George Wash ington In the Background

PARIS, April S.-(By The Associated ress)-President Wilson met with the premiers of Great Britain, France and Italy today for the first time since he became ill.,, The discussion of responsi- bility for the war and the Sarre Val Icy, which was unfinished today, will be continued tomorrow.
 1t was not indicated whether the president made any reference to the summoning of the George Washington
 On account of the presidents weak ened condition, the afternoon session was comparatively short, MT. Wilson lying down immediately after it's ad journment although it was stated at the White House that he was gradually improving and expected to attend all the meetings of the council hereafter.
 The return of President Wilson to the council of four and the progress made on various questions has removed much of the tension which existed in conference circles and has led to re- pewed confidence in an early and satis- factory conclusion.
 The reparation problem now is con- sidered definitely settled and only mi TOT details concerning the functions of the commission to allOt the annual in stallments frob Germany remain to be arranged. The Polish question, includ- ing the status of Danzig is also nearing settlement on the basis of internatioH- allzation of the city. Danzig as free port avoids the necessity of recoSnlZ- ing the claims of either Poland or Ger many, while the former will have cor ridor 10 the Baltic to the limits of the internatiOnalized town.

TRepublican 4. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, April S.-Dismissal Of the suit brought by the Jacob Hoffman Brewing company against government authorities to enioin them from enfore- ing the provision of the wartime pro- hibition act was asked today in papers filed in the federal district court by Earl Barnes, assistant United States district attorney. The suit was directed against Mark Eisner as collector Of in- ternaI revenue for the third New York district and United States District At torney Francis G. Caffey.
 An answer to the suit filed in Els pers behalf, states that his resig nation as collector was accepted by President Wilson. March 10 and that the ac- ton cannot, therefore, be maintained against him.
 A motion to dismiss the complaint was filed on behalf of District Attorney Caffey. The motion recites that the suit cannot be tried because 1t IS Tn effect a proceeding against the United States to which the government has not given it's consent and therefore IS without standing in court; that 1t is an
 
 attempt to restrain the defepdant Caf- fey from performing his official duties and that the facts alleged in the com plaint are insufficient to institute 2 cause in equity under which the suit was brought.
 To the compliments allegations that the war was virtually ended with the signing of the armistice and it's intro- duction of copies of the armistlce President Wilson's address to congress announcing the fact and Secretary Bakers proclamation suspending in tensive military operations as exhibits in support of that claim, the govern ment asks the court to take judicia notice of the fact that the peace treaty has not yet been ratified and statf of war still exists between the United States and Germany. The exhibits art classed as Insufficient and irrelevant by the government which asks tha ! they be stricken from the complaint.

MANIFOLD WOES OF HUNGARY
 CHARGED T0 DELAY IF PEACE

BUDAPEST, Monday, April 7.-(By The Associated Press)-Count Albert Apponyi, the last Hungarian premier under the old regime and a member of one of the oldest and wealthiest fami- lies, is living, since the communists gained control of the government, in modest tWo-story house with his wife two daughters and a governess and also with two families which the gov ernment has billeted on them. It is said the government intends to place other families in the house, reducing the Apponyi family to the use of two rooms.
 The count, who is 72 years of age, hopes to retain the use Of his study overlooking the Danube. He says he has work to do which the communists may class as intellectual. The old statesman is still tall and vigorous. His study contains many photographs con- memorative of his visit to the United States the last one being in 1911. The count said to the correspondent:
 II am an old man and I am looking at this new movement from a philo- sophical point of view, wondering if 1t will succeed. Certainly it is a most in teresting experiment. l have been treated so far with every courtesy by the officials, but cannot pass au opfn- ion as my class has no longer any rights.
 The country is ruled by one class. But fortunately my future is assured because I am past the working age and my son and girls have sufficient educa : tion to make their own way in the world.

May Sail on Friday

WASHINGTON, April S-Specific Instructions from President Wilson that the sailing of his steamer, the George Washington, be expedited immediately were received today at the navy de- p'rtment through Admiral William $. Benson, chief of naval operations, at Paris As a result the vessel will leave New York for Brest at the earliest op- portunity, probably next Friday after noon.
 Admiral Benson's message gave no reason for the presidents order and the White House professed to have no information on the subject but in terpreung it in the light of press dis patches from Paris telling of the presi- dents determination that delays at the peace conference must end. most of flcials regarded it as significant. Ad- ded importance also was given by the fact that this was the second mes sage from the admiral regarding the ships departure, the first, received yesterday, having inquired as to the time the vessel could get under way.
 By fast steaming the George Wash 1ngton should reach Brest by April IT.
 She would be held there subject to the presidents order it was said and thus would be available in the event that MT. Wilson should decide to cut short his stay at Paris because of de- lays in agreeing on the terms of peace. In some quarters, it was explained that without his ship at French port. the president might find himself in q m W h a t embarrassing position should he decide to leave the French capital before the treaty. had been agreed upon.
 Late press dispatches from Paris indicated that a more hopeful view as to the progress of the peace nego- tiations was entertained than had been for several days and this view was reflected in a cablegram received to- night by Secretary Tumulty from Rear Admiral Grayson, the presidents per sonal physician, who reported that the general situation had improved slightly.

WASHINGTON, April S-Forecast by the department of agriculture today that the nations winter wheat crop would total 37000,000 bushels, the largest crop ever grown, aroused inn mediate speculation as to the cost to the government of such an enormous yield. Under the bill passed by con- gross in the closing days of the last session, the government is obliged to pay the difference between the guaran teed price of $2.26 bushel and the world market price for every bushel not only on winter but of spring wheat produced.
 The total value of the winter wheat crop on the basis of an S37,000,000 bushel crop forecast would be S1,S91, 620,000. The spring wheat crop soon to be planted cannot be estimated at this time but department of agriculture officials today predicted it would range between 225,oO0,000. and 30O,000,000 bushels which would increase the total value of the nations wheat crop to approximately two and half billion dollars. The part of this two and half billion dollars that the government must pay to maintain the guaranteed price was a matter upon which officials here declined to comment. It was said that the factors influencing the world imarket price such as production in Argentine, Australia and other coun- tries and the European demand were too numerous to make any prediction at this time The department of az riculture has no information as to es- timated wheat production in the other wreat growing countries of the world.
 One Pocket To Another
 Officials expressed the belief today that there would be a good foreign de- mand for American wheat which would take care of the nations surplus and while the loss to the government through it's price guarantee, may

Senator Chamberlain Asks Investigation Into Acts of Colonel Wigmore In Us ing Franked Envelopes for Private Business
rRepub,jcan A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 8.-Investiga- tion by the attorney generals office of the alleged distribution in official franked envelopes of 10000 copies of a letter written by Colonel John H. Wigmore, formerly of the provost mar shal generals office in support of the existing courts martial system, was urged today by Senator Chamberlain, former chairman of the senate military affairs committee in letter to Attor- ney General Palmer.
 Senator Chamberlain charged that ''the Wigmore letter was in form and substance a purely private communica- ton upon a purely personal subject and that it was designed in part as per sonal reply to Senator Chamberlains speech on military justice in the sen ate January 3. Copies of this letter with copies of "a letter from the judge advocate general of the army to the secretary of war" were sent broadcast throughout the country, the senator charged to members of the bar.
 These communications consisting of some seventy pages, all appear to have 1 been printed at the government print 1 ing office and presumably at govern ment expense" Senator Chamberlain wrote. They are being given enor-
 
 1 penalty envelopes bearing the official l business frank of the war industries i board.
 My principal purpose in calling the matter to your attention is to be found in the obvious fact that the transmits sion of this personal communication l through the mails of the United States as official business at public expense is in fragrant violation of the penal laws of the United States for the prohibition of the free transmission of private
 matter It is to be observed also that the subject matter of the communica- tion can have no possible relationship to the business of the war industries board, and besides, it is thought that the board has long since ceased to existr
 In a statement accompanying a copy of the letter, Senator Chamberlain said he considered criticisms by Colone WigInore of the court martial hearings before the national military committee i of the senator himself and of another officer of the army (unnamed) to be I conduct unbecon1ing an officer He added these criticisms were such thai 'the secretary of war should take no- tice with a view to disciplinary action
 The senator said that Colenl Wig more was lone of the four or five of ficers who formerly served in the now defunct office of the provost marsha general, but who are being retained ir the service by the secretary of war upon the recommendation of the judge advocate general to compile data in de- fense of the existing courts martia system and distribute them at publi, expense throughout the United States

 In East Poland

WARSAW, Monday, April 7.- (By the Associated Press)-Thirty- three bolshevists were executed at Pnsk, on the eastern frontier of Poland Saturday.
 They were charged with plotting an uprising for the purpose of over towering the weakened garrison and seizine the city.
 An allied commission composed of Americans, British and French, is conducting the fullest inquiry and may send special mission to Pinsk from Warsaw for that pur- pose. Some reports which have reached Warsaw place the number of executions as high as 250, but Colonel Francis E. Fronczak, health commissioner of Buffalo, who was in Pinsk at the time for the Ameri- can Red Cross, fixes the number at thirty three.
 Colonel Fronczak said that, ac- cording to military officials 2OO boIshevists were discovered plotting in a hall on the outskirts of the city Saturday afternoon. The building was surrounded but majority of the bolshevists succeeded in escap- ing. About 70 were captured and marched to the city market place, where every second one was shot.
 Colonel Fronczak was in a hospi- tai around the corner at the time when he heard the shooting. Later he counted the bodies. His affidavit has been turned over to the Ameri can military. Pinsk was captured from the bolshevists month ago.

EXPECT WILSON IN AEROP[ANE TO SAVE KOREA
Insurrection Against Japan, Long Preparing, It Is Said, Will Be Maintained, Hoping for Aid from Peace Conference

SEOUL, Korea, Tuesday, April l. (By the Associated Press).-Japan is experiencing in Korea, as other coun- tries have been, difficulties in assimilat- ing an alien people. The general inn pression in Seoul is that the indepen- dence movement among the Koreans is deep-rooted and determined and has extended to all closses of the people.
 Slumbering for years, the insurrec- tion has come to head in the period of the peace conference at Paris, from which apparently the Koreans expect much. Faith permeats the Koreans that the world sympathiZes with them and will help them finally to acquire the right of self lf-determination.
 Independence news is being secretly printed and distributed almost daily, despite repeated seizures of printing presses and it is declared that the Koreans are confident President Will son will come to Korea in an airplane { and listen to their views. A white flag set upon Seoul hill is presumed te in dicate the landing place.

 General Kojima, director of gen darmes. in a statement to the AsSo- ciated Press, places the casualties to the police, gendarmes. soldiers and Japanese at 56, of whom seven were killed and to the Koreans at 45S. of whom 1s4 were killed. The early mild treatment by the authorities, according to General Kojima, was interpreted by the Koreans as evidence of weakness and they began to resort to violence He estimated that 10000 took part in the demonstration armed with axes knives and clubs and the gendar1nes were forced to empioye severe meas ures. He regretted the blooshed. The general appeared to be more concerned about the allegations of Japanese cru cities than the instruction. which he believed was being mastered He de nied the accusations that prisoners were tortured. Tortures were so ire quent in Korean history, he explained the Koreans seemed to believe thai they would be continued under Jap anese rule.
 He questioned the allegations that Koreans had been tied to wooden crosses and flogged, but admitted thal the old Korean custom of flogging pris- oners was kept up by the Japanese the Koreans themselves often prefer ring this mode of punishment to payins a fine Moreover the jails were insult ficient to hold all the offenders.

BIGGEST WHEAT CROP
 IN COUNTRY'S HISTORY COST TO GOVERNMENT

amount far into the millions of dollars, so far as the actual wealth of the country was concerned, it simply will be taking money from one pocket and putting it into another. The money, tt was said, will go into the pockets of the farmers of the country and officials believe the forecast indicates farmers will be more prosperous and possess greater potential buying power than ever before in the history of the coun- try. The enormous sums farmers will receive for their wheat, it was said, should find it's way back quickly into circulation, thus adding to the general prosperity of the nation.
 Todays forecast also indicated that America will have a greater surplus than ever before. The United States re- quires for it's own yearly consumption, about 5.3 bushels of wheat for each i person within it. With approximately l 110,000,000 people in the United States and adding approximately 75.000,00C bushels of wheat which are necessary for teding purposes the demands of this country this year are estimated al more than 65o,000,000 bushels.
 With spring wheat production es- 1 timated at from 225.000,000 to 300,000,- 600 it would appear that the surplus available for export would be in the neighborhood of about 450,000, ,00( bushels.
 What these figures mean is indicated in statistics showing that before tht war the United tSates exported on al average of 100000,000 bushels yearly During the war, the greatest quantity exported in any ohe year was about 335, 5,000,000 bushels so that the available supply this year will be considerable more than 100. .000, 900 bushels above tho maximum ever exported, even wher practically all the warning allied ant neutrals were depending on the United
 States as the main source of their foot supply.
