PROPOSED DIVISION OF THRlCE
Greece to Get West Part, Leaving
Bulgaria Outlet to sea-Lift Russ

plies for Bolsheviki.

Paris.-Reparation bill decided for
the Bulgarian treaty totals nearly g.
900, 00O, 900 francs, which Sofia must
pay the Rumanians, Serbians and
Greeks. prior to the war a franc
was worth 1913 cents in United States
money!.
Proposals made for division of
Thrace, granting the extreme western
portion to Greece and leaving the
Bulgarians an outlet upon the Aegean
sea, seems likely to be accepted. Vir-
tually the Serbian territory aspira-
tions are realized at Bulgaria's ex-
pense, and Dobrudja remains to the
Rumanians.
To LIT Russian Blockade.
The Russian blockade was brought
up by the British, showing the dan
gerous position of the Archangel
forces which would be still further
menaced If the bolshevik troops OPP
posing them could receive supplies
and munitions.
In view of the fact that the allies
are not actually at war with Russia
it is believed that blockade techni-
cally will be lifted and an embargo
substituted-the embargo consisting
of giving the British navy the right
to stop and search vessels proceed
ing towards Russia and to examine
the cargoes for arms and war mate
rial.
Certain foodstuffs would be permit
ted to proceed to Russia at the same
time the British are taking steps to
prevent imports of material which
might be used in warfare from going
! through Germany to Russia. Those
familiar with the situation assert that
the vast amount Of war material sent
to Russia by the allies before the
revolution and the huge amount of
supplies abandoned by the Germans
when they quit Russia after the arm
istice should be nearly exhausted by
now, particularly as much of this ma
terial has been ruined by remaining
without protection from the weather.
A large amount was of a perishable
character. Since virtually no NUM-
tons have been made In Russia since
the revolution the bolsheviks should
soon be running short Of war mate
| rial, 1t is believed.
Tittoni confers With Hoover.
Minister Tittoni recently conferred
with Mr.. Hoover regarding renewing
the financial and economic agree
ment among the allies which existed
during the war. Strong pressure is
being marshalled to exert against tho
United States by Great Britain and
France. and also to reestablish . fix
ed rate Of exchange and credits pend
ing the agreement by the reparations
commission upon the amount Ger
many must pay for war indemnity.
This is believed to be the only thing
to prevent the franc and pound both
from dropping further.

HOUSE CANCELS PROPOSED RE-
CESS At REQUEST OF THE
PRESIDENT.
CONGRESS IS ASKED TO HELP
to Determine Wage Question
Wants Power. Mandatory Over
Interstate Commission.

Washington, d. CA new labor
crisis, growing out of the high cost
Of living, is facing the railroad ad.
ministration. So pressing are the de-
mands of the railroad employees for
more pay to maintain their standard
Of living that President Wilson, fol-
lowing extended conferences with d.
rector General Hines, asked the house
Of representatives to abandon a pro-
posed recess of five weeks. begin.
ming this week, and remain in Wash
ington to consider the creation of a
commission which, would determine
all questions concerning the wages of
railway workers.
The house voted to comply with
the presidents request.
The president took new step in
railroad legislation in suggesting to
congress that the act to create the
commission should make the deci-
sions Of that body mandatory upon
the rate-making body and provide,
when necessary. increased rates to
cover any recommendations for in.
creases In wages, and therefore in
the cost of operating the railroads.
Increased Rates Up to Congress.
This was the first time that con
gress ever was asked by the CHIEF
executive to order the interstate com
merce commission to advance rates
Mr.. Wilson's letter addressed to the
chairmen of the house and senate in
terstate commerce committees, vir
tually transfers to the floor of con
gress whether there shall be an in
crease in transportation charges, long
forecast by the steadily growing de
ficit arising from the failure of rail
road income to equal the government
guarantee.
Net Income Shows Deficit.
Net operating income Of the roads
under federal control amounted II
approximately $51,SO0,0O0 in June
leaving reficit of $4,000. 900. com
pared with one-twelfth Of the guar
anteed annual rental and deficit o
| $40, 500. 900, as compared with the av
erage income in June of the three
year test period on which the annua
rental was based.
For the first six months Of tn
calendar year, the deficit amounted t
more than $295 900, 900. compared witt
one-half the annual rental. The hal
year net income was less than ! pc
cent ON the $4,000. 0O0, 900 Of railroa'
property taken over by the govern
ment. Director General Hines de-
clared the falling off in freight bus
ness continued to be an importan
factor in the deficit, combined wit
increases In rates which have bee
on a much lower percentage than II
creases in wages and prices of mate
rails.

living question and at the White

The Day and the Work

To each is given day and his work for the day;
And once, and more, he is given to travel this way,
And woe if he flies from the task, whatever the odds;
For the task is appointed him the scroll ofthe gods
There is waiting work where only his hands can avail
And So if he falters, chord in the music will fail.
He laugh tothe sky, he may lie for an hour in the
But he dare go hence till the labor appointed is done
To each is given marble carve for the wall;
A stone that is needed to heightent the beauty of ALL
And only his soul has the magic to give # grace;
And only his hands have the cunning to put it place.
Yes the task that is given to each other do
So the errand is waiting; has waited thru ages for you
And you appear; and the hushed ones turning
their gaze
To what you do with your chance in the chamber Of
days.
