REPLY NEARLY READY
 Qu Axrarl.tsd

Paris, June 11.--Dfstinct progress was reported tonight on the reply of the allied and associated governments to the German counter proposals and indications are that the reply will be ready for delivery on Friday.
 The Germans will be given five days limit for final action, which would, therefore, come on or before June, 16.
 The main feature of this progress was an agreement regarding the re- paration terms, which have been the subject of a sharp controversy dur ing the past 10 days.
 As finally adopted, the terms do not fix the definite amount of reparations, but the commission is required to fix the amount within four mouths of the signing of the treaty.

 Final action on Germany's request for admission to the league of nations has not yet been reached, but the discussion is declared to be tending toward an ac- cord. The Silesian question, which has given difficulty, also has virtually been settled.
 Though all the chances are that the reply will be delivered by the end of the week, President Wilson has made no plans to leave for Brussels, as he has an engagement in Paris for Saturday night Colonel House will leave for London Fri day night and will remain there during the five days allowed the Germans He will return for the signing of the treaty next week.

ORGANIZED LABOR

 TIME PROHIBITION
Adopt Resolutions Strongly Urging That 2 3-4 Per Cent Beer Be Exempt From
 All Dry Laws
By Associated Press

Atlantic City, N. J., June 11.--A resolution expressing organized labor's disnpprovnl of war-time prohibition and strongly urging that 2a per cent beer be exempt from the provisions of stitution and from the war-time pro- hibition measure, which goes into cf- feet July I, was adopted today by the reconstruction convention of the American Federation of Labor.
 bitter fight was waged on tho proposal by dry clements especially delegates from Seattle, who based their arguments on the benefits they said their city had found through pro- hibition, but it carried by an over whelming vote of 26,475 10 4,0o5. The voting is proportional to the member ship of the unions represented
 The resolution will be sent to Presi- dent Wilson and Congress.
 At the outset the resolution cites the provisions of President Wilson's executive order stopping the brewing of beer on December l, 191S. the pre- visions of the war emergency bill es- tablishing war time fprohibition and the eighteenth amendment. RESOLUTION TEXT It then continues:
 "Whereas, all the foregoing is prin- cipally intended to deprive the work CTS of America of the means to secure legally glass of beer after a days work and,
 "whereas, all this restrictive and sumptuary legislation has the effect of destroying part of the American labor movement and is seriously crip- bling many international organiza- ttons affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. therefore be it

 l.. ". Collins, general superintend- ent of the Postal Telegraph company in Chicago, admitted that a large number of their 300 operators had quit. but insisted that if the "agitators about the building were driven away many employees would come to work"
 Police protection was asked by the Western Union here after numerous street clashes of a minor character. Deliy cry service was hampered late in the day, when all Western Union mes senger boys at the main office, with the exception of four, joined the strike. It was charged that they had been in- timidated and messages taken from them.
 Many of the Postal messengers here also struck in sympathy.
 Mir. Collins said he did not know what was the general situation as to Postal strikers, but that the company had not been seriously affected. We expect quick improvement" he said.

 o|ZE U. $. ARMY 'ecides to Base Appropria- tions for Army of 100000 Instead of 100000, as
 Recommended
By Associated Press

Washington, June 11.-Further re- duction in the size of the army to be maintained for the next fiscal year House today in deciding to base ap- propriations for the pay and maintcn- ance on an army of 100000 men, in stead of 100000, as recommended by the House military committee. The war department had recommended
 The controversy over the army's size was brought to test vote when an item of $2S.6O5, ,O00 for the pay of line officers came up for considera- ton. Representative LaGuardia, re- publican, of New York, moved that it be reduced to $20. 100000. making 1t in proportion to an army of 300,000 men. After two hours debate the amend ment was passed by vote of 59 to 37.
 Supporters of the amendment con- tended that if provision was made for 100000 the War Department would make no effort to carry on the de- mobilization as rapidly as might be possible.
 "The avowed purpose of the War Department" MT. LaGuardia declared. ''is to keep as many men in the ser vice as possible. It will not discharge single man more than it has money to pay and buy supplies for. If we make provision for 100000 men. you can rest assured that that will be the average number retained during the year. There is not chance that the average will fall below that"
 Representative Kearns, republican. of Idaho. said that people over tie country were demanding the return of the soldiers.
 RETURN DEMANDED
 Representative Kahn of California, chairman of the military committee. urged that the original estimate, based on an army of 100000 men. be passed, saying that it would be physical inn possibility to obtain lower aver age.
 "On July 1,'' he said. there prob ably will be s00.0oo men still in the service. and 5oG.oo0 by August l. Thereafter the decreases will be less rapid and doubt that the number will fall below 100000 by the first of tie

By Associated Press

Chicago, June 11.-Union leaders declared tonight that the first day response to the call for a nationwide strike of commercial telegraph opera tors gave promise that the tie up will be complete in three days, despite claims of com pany officials that the strike has failed.
 Reports received by the Associ-
 ated Press from many towns in
 various sections of the country in-
 dicate the commercial telegraph
 business was not seriously inter
 rupted in most districts.
 A statement by President Carlton of the Western Union Telegraph com pany that only about 166 persons. i21 of them operators. answered the strike call, brought from s. J. Konenkamp, international president of the Con- mercial Photographers Union of Amer ica a remark that more than that num- Der of Western Union employees in CEi- cago alone had joined the strike by noon today.
 Reports up to late today point to a 90 per cent response in the Postal Telegraph company service and 70 per cent response from Western UnIon employees" said Konenkamp in a state ment to the Associated Press tonight.
 .'The east has shown up surprising ly we'll and in the southeast alone the number of strikers now exceeds 3600. Telephone workers have added to the strikers number in Philadelphia. New Orleans.

"Give Him Eighteen Months, Then Cut
off His Head!"

Gable to China for that young man

the navy-the young man" being
Sims. Give him entire charge of tar
get practice for eighteen months; do
exactly as he says. If he does not
accomplish something in that time,
cut off his head and try somebody
else"
Lieutenant Sims thus became in
spector of target practice. a position
which he held for six and half years.
AS consequence of his training, the
American naval gunners became the
greatest shots in the world, even sur
passing those of the British navy it
self. Indeed it was not until Sims
demonstrated the complete success or
the Scott system that the British navy
adopted it in all it's details. The final
judgement was passed on Sims work
by President Roosevelt. who, in an Of
fetal communication in 1909, said:
Commander Sims has done more for
target practice than any other man in
the United States. 1t is chiefly due
to him that we shoot as well as we do.
II is humiliating to think what poor
shots we were during the Spanish
war"
Sims First Steps on "Modern" Ameri-
can BattIeship.
All this time Sims had been calling
attention to faults in the navy that
were even more serious especially in
the construction of ships. He first
stepped on an American modern
battleship in 1900; this was The Ken
lucky, then at Gibraltar en- route TO
China. The experience was shock
ing revelation. The Kentucky" the
Admiral says ''is not a battIeShip at

construction ever perpetrated by the
white race 1t would take too much
time to describe the many defects
which Sims set forth in his report TO
the department; the fact is that
there was practically nothing aisout
these battleships thaf was not wrong;
they were armored under water, but
not above; they lay so low that their
guns, in a heavy sea, were ..xash;
their turrets had such huge gaping
holes that they furnished no protection
to their crews; these same turrets
stood so high above the deck that they
furnished ideal targets to the pros
pective enemy; the ammunition rnaga-
zines were so exposed that a raval en-
gagement would have necessarily

That Americans, supposed to be the
cleverest mechanicians in the world,
should have designed and built such a
monstrosity as the Kentucky, is in it
self astounding; still more astound-
ing it is that. after the departments
attention had been called to these de-
fects. it should have gone on calm
1y building other ships precisely Ike
it. From 1900 to 1907 Sims kept up
his solitary campaign against these
errors; his reports as already 'lescrib-
ed. were committed to the flames.
Finally he decided on another unpre-
cedented move, which was one even
more insubordinate than his letter to
the president. This time he took his
cause directly to the American people
itself. He summoned his friend. Mr..
