THREE CENT POSTAGE Is
NOW A THING OF PAST
War Time Postage Ceased to be at
Midnight Monday-Extra Cent
Brought Big Sum

At midnight Monday the three-cent
letter postage rate became thing OF
the past and the public is again licking
the old familiar ones and twoes.
The restoration of the peace time
postage rates was brought about by
Section F of the war revenue bill, APP
proved last winter, but not effective
until now. It repeats the section in
the first war revenue bill, passed on
October, 1917, that made general in
crease in postage on first class mat
ter. The provision of the 1917 act
extending the Thanking privilege to
sailors and soldiers stationed over
seas will remain in force until the last
of the troops are home.
The extra one cent charge on let
tiers has Melted the government $115,-
100000 which was added to the war
chest. For the last year the estimated
excess postage, according to recent
statement made by the postmaster
general, amounts to something over
SIC, 100000.

ROMANCE OF TARTAN"

Novel to the last degree is the eff
feet produced by the transplanting
of Tarzan, the white son of the Afri-
can jungles, to the center of the most
select American social circle in "The
Romance of Tarzan," which comes to
the Princess Theatre next Sunday and
Monday.
Never before has this interesting
contrast between life in its most prim-
tive form and in its more artificial
and. sophisticated phases been pictur-
ed in the silent drama.
The Forthcoming production gives
the concluding chapters of ''Tarzan of
the Apes" that gripping narrative by
Edgar Rice Burroughs, which made
box Office history in hundreds of the
aires turnout the United States and
Canada when recently given to the
screen.
The same pulse-stirring atmosphere
of the unexplored jungles of the Afri-
can Gold Coast, where wild animals
and equally wild savages struggle for
domination, is shown, with Tarzan as
the ruling spirit, and in addition a
love story leads this mighty hero into
a maze Of adventures in the great
world beyond the ocean that touches
the shores Of his jungle home.

Accounts to Be Furnished.

Brussels.-Prior to the signing by
the Germans of the agreement for the
taking over of the German merchant
fleet and the provisioning of Germany,
the subcommittee on food supply and
merchant shipping held conferences. At
the meeting of the conference subcom-
mittees on food supply, Herbert c.
Hoover was the only speaker. The
Germans asked that the control should
be exercised by German military men,
but the allied representatives insisted
it should be in the hands of the Ger
man civil authorities, who would be
called upon to furnish accounts and
statistics regularly.

win Take over 72s Steamers.

Berlin.-The mercantile fleet In
German harbors, disposition of which
will be decided at an early date at the
food and shipping conference at Brus-
sells, consists, according to German fig
ures, of T23 steamers of 1856, 700
gross tons, and 1856 sailing vessels of
$1,000 tons. The sailing craft and
some of the small steamers will, how
ever, be left by the entente to Ger
many for coastal traffic. The steam
er figures include steamers finished
during the war, but not the unfinished
steamers, which the Germans continue
to insist cannot be demanded under
the armistice The total tonnage that
may be surrendered to the entente is
approximately 100000 gross tons.

No Secret Treaties.

Paris.-It has been learned that the
status of secret treaties and conven-
tions made during the war again has
arisen. Information obtained today
from some of the American delegates
to the peace conference was that the
action of a majority of the commits
sion dealing with Grecian boundaries
in declaring that the treaty of London
of 1915 was effective will not be per-
mitted to go unchallenged and could
not become effective unless ratified
by the council of ten, which they as
serted would refuse its approval. The
decision relative to the treaty of Lon
don, which Is one of those secret con-
ventions made during the war, is re-
garded as of the 'gravest Importance,
it being declared to be in direct con-
flict with one of President Wilson'S
fourteen points, concerning such agree
ment and one relative to the right of
self-determination of small nations. 1t
Is held that if the decision Of the ma
jority of the commission was upheld
it would of necessity carry with it af-
firmation of Italy's claims to nearly
all the eastern shore of the Adriatic.

New York.-Action by the peace

source of discomfort and uneasiness
among nations in the past" was urged
by Viscount Ishii, Japanese ambassa

fore the Japan Society in New York.
Nothing would contribute more effect
lively to the foundation of permanent
peace. The constitution of a League

general to begin action in the name of
the state to test the constitutionality
of the prohibition amendment to the

tate an unprecedented legal step. If
the intent of the resolution is correct

Paris, March 15.-At a meeting of
the British empire peace delegation
some aspects of the draft of the cove
nant of the League of Nations were
considered, especially as it affects the
future of British naval needs. accord
ing to Reuters Paris correspondent.
A memorandum was submitted by the
British admiralty bearing upon the
effects of the covenant OF the navy
and making specific suggestions. 1t
is understood that broadly the delega-
ton agreed that in fixing future ma
val armaments the defensive needs of
the scattered British empire can be
adequately met only on the basis oc
the pre-war proportion of strength of
the British navy to that of other
uavies.
Paris.-President Wilson, Lloyd
George and Clemenceau met at Col.
Houses room in the Hotel Crillon and
told the President just what had
transpired during his absence; that
the framing of the economic condi-
tions for Germany's future commerce
and business is what is holding the
drastic preliminary peace terms and
the subject of reparations is also de
veloping knotty problems.
Mr.. Wilson has agreed on the naval,
military and air terms and the from
tiers fixed for Germany, not objecting
to allotting Danzig as port for
Poland.
The amount of reparations Ger
many must pay could not be stated
concretely, as France still is unde-
cided as to whether she Will accept
the principles agreed to by Great
Britain and America regarding what
items come under the reparations
bill.
In any event, however, 1t is left for
the reparations total to be finally
agreed upon within few days, as
the sum has been reduced to tangi-

Peking, March 17.-While early re-
ports from Tien Tsin suggested that
American marines were to blame for
the recent disorders there, later re-
ports would seem to show that the
Japanese were also at fault. 1t is
claimed that japanese military guards
entered the French concession and
there seized two Americans, and when
American officials inquired of the
japanese police authorities IL any
Americans were being detained, they
were given negative answer, accord
ing to a report.
Later American officials found two
Americans in police station, one of
them lying almost naked in the yard,
calling for water. The japanese were
induced to send the injured man to
n hospital and an American consul re-
fused to leave the station until the
other man, a corporal, had been re-
leased.
This demand was finally granted.
The American consul was stoned by
japanese as he drove away from the
station. 1t is said.
When the American marines en-
tered the japanese consulate, they are
reported to have attacked a visitor
One evening American marines who
were entering a moving picture the
ater in the French concession were at
tackled by crowd of japanese armed
with sticks. They managed to enter
the theater, the proprietor of which
telephoned for the French police, who
dispersed the japanese. The situa-
ton of Tien Tsin is said to be tense.
The matter has been referred to the

London, March 13.-The behavior of
the Spartacans in Lichtenburg was
Russia, Berlin advices received in
Copenhagen and transmitted by the
telegraph say. All well-dressed citi-
zens appearing in the streets were
robbed and many were killed. Sew
eral persons were decapitated and the
heads were carried through the
streets by female Spartacans. The
government troops, it is added, CON
tinue to kill every prisoner they take.
Riots have occurred in various Ger
man towns outside Berlin and a Spar
tacan revolt has broken out in Ham
burg, according to an Exchange Tele-
graph dispatch from Copenhagen. The
riots are said to have resulted from
general strike supported by the
Spartacans.
Berln.-The progress of the govern
ment troops against the Spartacans
necessarily is slow, owing to the need
of thoroughly cleaning up the recon
lutitu puitS VI ihe CITY, ine popu-
lace of Lichtenburg is suffering Sc
verely from hunger
The second important Spartacan
stronghold is Weissensee, suburb of
Berlin. The Spartacans also are
strongly entrenched in Copenick, Neu-
kolin and Rummelsburg.
A correspondent talked with col
onel of the government forces who
estimated the Spartacans at about
1900. He admitted, however, that his
figures were merely guess work. The
colonel said that in addition to heavy
and light artillery the Spartacans
have scores of machine guns.
| The Berlin newspapers say the
Spartacans visited Herr Noske, secre-
tary of military affairs, TO inquire into
peace conditions. 1t is rumored that
after protracted negotiations, Herr
Noske demanded unconditional sur
render of the Spartacans and also
possession of all their arms A dis
patch from Amsterdam says Herr
Noske, secretary of military affairs
in Germany, declined the appeal of
the burgomaster of Lichtenburg that
the military cease operations against
