Warning to
Turkey Sti1's
French Press
Criticism Almost Unani.
nous; Wilson Charged
With Overriding Confer
ence in Massacre ''Note"

PARIS, Aug. % (By The Associated
Press THE French press is almost
unanimous in criticising what it terms
"Presdent Wilson's note to Turkey"
with regard to the cessation of massa-
cres in Armenia. The newspapers seem
communication was g formal one and
charge President Wilson with going
over the head of the peace conference
and declare the gravest of conse-
quences may follow.
"President Wilson doubtless meant
WE'LL" says the echo de Paris" "but
the note may have contrary effects to
those he hoped for. Without consult
ing the peace conference. he suddenly
modified his fourteen articles for the
foundation of the peace treaty, and
this action will belittle the confer
ence."
"L'1nformation" says: "President
Wilson has performed the act of an
authority and a mandatory. Such in
itiative is deep with meaning and con-
sequences. IT marks the beginning Of
interference by the United States in
Turkish affairs and it's decision to fol-
low its own policy without consulting
the peace conference"
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-In warn
ing Turkey that massacres of Arme-
mans must stop, Rear Admiral Mark
l.. Bristol, commander of the United
States naval forces in Turkey, was act
ing under instructions from the State
Department. This was announced to-
day officially.
No report has been received from
Admiral Bristol. officials said, nor has
any protest been received. either from
Turkey or any of the Allied govern
mcnts.
Press dispatches from Paris yester-
day stating that Admiral Bristors
warning had caused something of a
furry in French official quarters and
in the Supreme Council of the peace
conference, were unconirmed by Of
fetal information, it was said.
Admiral Bristol's warming, it was
explained, was lin line with the policy
consistently pursued by the American
government before the war and the
action was an independent one on the
part OF this government.
The State Department announced
Admiral Bristol had been appointed
high commissioner for the United
States at Constantinople in charge Of
political matters there.

Lodge Predicts 6 Weeks
Debate and Vote on the
Peace Terms During
Last Weeks in October
johnson Urged to
Precede Wilson
California Senator and
Reed Speak Against
1t i'll Baltimore, Md.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-The peace
treaty will be reported to the Senate
by the Foreign Relations Committee
next Friday or Saturday, Republican
Senators announced to-day after the
committee adjourned. This does not
mean, they said, that there will be no
further hearings, but Chairman Lodge
has taken the position right along that
there was no reason why the commit
tee should not hold any hearings it de-
sired after the treaty had been re-
ported.
Senators estimated that about six
weeks debate would be required after
the reporting of the treaty, which
means the final vote will be reached,
If their guesses are correct, about the
third week in October.
Democratic Senator's assorted that
TIE decision to report the treaty to-
ward the end of next week resulted
from the announcement the President
would begin mis- trip around the coun-
try in behalf Of the treaty on Wedncg-
day.
1t is known that the Republican, SEN
ators who desire to 90 ahead Of and
behind the President on this trip do
not wish to leave Washington until the
treaty has been reported by the COM
mittee.
Senator Hiram Johnson. whose col
leagues wish him, if possible, to go
ahead Of the President, so as to present
arguments which the people will ex-
pect the President to answer, is speak
ing tonight in Baltimore, with Senator
James A. Reed, another Of the "irre-
concilablcs" and one of the most vigor-
GUS opponents Of the treaty in the
Democratic camp.

Wilson to Begin
Tour Wednesday
Indianapolis Probably to
BE First Stop or, 25-day
Trip Boosting League

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-President
Wilson will leave Washington next
Wednesday on tour Of the country. to
give an account to the people of the
negotiation of the treaty of Versailles
and TO appeal for ratification without
change.
Secretary Tumulty made this an
nouncement to-day, finally putting at
rest rumors current during the last
few weeks that the proposed trip, which
would take the President to the Pacific
Coast, had been abandoned. The trip
will occupy twenty-five days.
The opening address. Secretary Tum-
ulty said, would be at Columbus, Ohio,
next Thursday, probably.
Eleventh. h-hour changes by President
Wilson prevented announcement to-
day of the completed itinerary, rs had
been planned. White House officials
the details of the tour, but to-day
when it was sent to the President he
made slight changes that neccssitated
reconstructing the entire route. An
nouncement will therefore be made to-
morrow. Secretary TumulSy said
Some Of the stops en- route to the
Pacific Coast have become known, and
according to the best information
available the second speech will be
made at Indianapolis, followed by
speechcs at St. Louis, Kansas City and
Topeka. in the order named. From the
latter city the Presidential party will
90 to Omaha, thence to Sioux Falls
S. D.: st. Paul or Minneapolis, and
Bismarck, N. D.
Then will follow speeches at Billings
and Helena, Mont; CGur d'Alene,
Idaho; Spokane; possibly Seattle, Port
land, Ore; San Francisco, Los Angeles
and San Diego. Speeches may be made
from the train between these cities,
but it is known the President is OPP
posed to making open air addresses.
Returning from the Pacific Coast. the
belief is that stops will be made at
Reno. New; Salt Lake City, Denver and
Oklahoma City, thence south and east
ward, probably to Louisville, KY. 1t is
not believed the President will go very
far into the Southwestern and Southern
States. however.

ANDREW CARNEGIE is generally

to the effect that & millionaire who
boarded his money instead of ex-
pending 1t for humanity should die
"unwept, unhonored and unsung."

Strike Threat
Sent to Gary
BY Union Head
Steel Corporation Must Deal
With A. F. of L. at Once
or Men Will Be Called

John Fitzpatrick wrote yesterday TO
Ebert X. Gary that strike of steel
workers would be called unless Mr..
Gary reconsdered his refusal to deal
with the American Federation of
Labor. Fitzpatrick is chairman of the
tederation's committee for unionizing
the employees of the United States Steel
Corporation. Only few days remained,
he wrote, before his committee would
have no alternative "but to enforce
the decree of your employees whom we
nave the honor to represent"
We have received your answer to
our request on behalf of the employees
OF your corporation" the letter saws.
"and we understand the first paragraph
OF your answer to be an absolute re-
fusal on the part of your corporation
to concede to your employees the right
Of collective bargaining.
You question the authority of our
committee to represent the majority of
your employees. The only way by which
we can prove our authority is to put
the strike vote into effect, and we sim
cerely hope you will not force a strike
TO prove this point.
I'VE asked for a conference for the
purpose of arranging a meeting where
the questions of wages, hours, condi-
tons of employment and collective
bargaining might be discussed. Your
answer Is a fiat refusal for such con-
ference.
Calls Conditions "Terrible'
We read with great care your state
nlent as TO The interest the CORPORATION
takes in the lives and welfare of the en-
ployes and their families and if that
were true even in minor degree we
would not be pressing consideration
through conference of the terrible
conditions that exist. The conditions
of employment, the home life, the mis-
cry IN the novels of the steel workers
are beyond description Surely this is a
matter which might we'll be discussed
IN conference
y ou also made reference to the at
titude OF your corporation in not op-
posing or preventing your employees
from joining labor organizations 1t is a
matter of common knowledge that the
tactics employed by your Corporation
and subsidiaries have for years most ef-
fectually prevented any attempt at or
ganlzatlon by your employees
Some few days are still at the dis
posal Of our committee before the time
limit will have expired when there win

Airn1en in Race
To Toronto Land
IN, Prison Yard
By Jack Binns

(Av'otion reporter for The Triog.ue, who
IS tlying acith o. S. Parmer II, The
NcW York-Toronto aerial derby.)
BUFFALO, Aug. 29.--We have just
flown into the Erie County prison farm
at Wende, N. Y, and have given the in
mates the thrill of their lives. Our de-
scent was accelerated by the prompt
ings of vicious lightning and terrific
thunderstorm. The i'll luck that besct
us at the outset continued to-day and
our dramatic arrival in prison was the
second forced landing since leaving AL
bany.
We left Albany in fair weather at
$3.50 this morning. but Immediately ran
into terrific head wind, which mate
rally affected our moderate speed. 1t
was not until we saw a freight train
on the New York Central Railroad
overtake us and then rush rapidly past
that VIC realized what a long way off
Syracuse was.
Scarcely half an hour passed by be-
fore we ran into rain squall. A huge
black cloud with an aqueous curtain
trailing to the ground rushed bodily at
us, and we were enveloped in it.. The
rain chewed some more splinters from
the wearing edge of our propeller.
The air came to US in patches, and
we leaped from one to the other The
rest of the morning we engaged in d
thrilling game of eluding swift clouds.
Finally Lake Oneida hove in sight. A
huge black thundercloud bore down
upon us. We had used all our gas in
fighting the wind, and there was moth
ing for it but to come down.
Farmer chose an excellent field, just
in time. We had scarcely landed when
a second deluge struck the field. We
crawled under the wings and waited.
Presently from all directions and in
all kinds of vehicles the natives began
to arrive, because ait was the first time
one of them gol-durncd things had ever
lit in these parts"
For two hours we were stormbound,
and after replenishng our gasolene
we took off in full view of thousand
people, who seemed to spring out of
the earth. 1t took just thirty-fv min
utes to make the twenty miles to Syra-
cusc.
For two hours and fifty minutes we
few steadily from one shower to
another, against terrible head wind.
lhen,, when within twenty miles Of
Buffalo, we ran into a thunderstorm
which completely blackened the earth.
Farmer made the most wonderful land
ing have ever seen, and the convicts
helped us to pull the machine up to
the prison buildings. am quite con-
vinced he could land the old bus on
| top of a chicken coon.
AS we clambered out of the machine
we saw another plane in distress come
down in q steep spiral to sudden
Landing, but he was too far off to
locate: We are going to bail our ship
out 81 the prison tomorrow and finish
ships.
