PUT WAR CONTRACTS
UP TO CLAIMS COURT
Senate Yielded and Struck from the Bill
the Plan for Commission to Pass
Up the Awards.

Washington, D. c., Feb 4.--In a par
tal agreement reached to-day by Senate
and House conferees on the legislation
for valuation and settlement of informal
war contracts aggregating about $2,750,-
1000, the Senate managers yielded and
struck from the bill the plan for an ap-
pellated commission to pass upon awards
of government officials.
Under q compromise adopted for the
commission plan, which the war depart
ment vigorously opposed, the conferees
adopted substitute giving the court of
claims jurisdiction to hear contractors
appeals and make final awards.
On other important Senate amend
ments, including that of Senator Hender-
son of Nevada, proposing authority for
the secretary of the interior to settle
claims arising from the bill to stimulate
production of war minerals, the conferees
were unable to agree They decided to
report a disagreement to the House for
discussion and instructions

CLAIMS IDEA AS THEIR OWN.
Socialists of Chamber of Deputies Tried
to Drown Applause for Wilson.

Paris, Monday, Feb. 3.--President Viii
son was given an unusual reception by
socialist members at the chamber Of dep
uties this afternoon. They tried to
drown applause from the center and the
right in an apparent attempt to show
Mr.. Wilson that his ideas were their
own. When Captain Mantoux, the Off
cial interpreter, who translated Presi-
dent Wilson, address, reached that part
of the speech in which Mr.. Wilson spoke
Of the society of nations, the socialists
rose shouting Long live the society Of
nations" some Of them shouting Down
with war"
Paul Deschanel who opened the sit
ting, said of the plan for the society Of
nations:
"Aeross the chasm of blood and dark
ness we see the light of the future We
believe that if the entente. instead of be-
ing formed slowly under the pressure of
peril and under the necessities Of the
moment in the shock of battles, could
have been instituted long before at The
Hague, Germany would never have dared
to declare war upon us. We believe that
the thirty states which broke relations
with Germany must be the nucleus of q
society of nations. We shall continue
with all our strength and all our heart
to prevent return to barbarism and
to maintain our dear and illustrious
friendship which shall be no less faithful
in peace than it has been in war

MAJ. CEN. EDWARDS
IN BARRE MARCH III
Plans for Receiving Him Will Be Carried
Out Largely as They Were Prepared
for Last January.

Major General Clarence r. Edwards,
commander of the northeastern depart
ment of the U. S. army and formerly
commander of the 26th New EnglandJ }
division in France, who was prevented
from coming to Barre last month because
Of the illness of his brother in Cleveland,
has sent word to the Barre Board of
Trade that he will be the guest of Barre
on Tuesday, March IL, the day following
his visit to the state capital and the day
preceding his visit to Burlington. An
nouncement to that effect was received
last night by James Mackay for the
Board of Trade, as well as by Adjutant
General II. 7, johnson at Montpelier. The
latter at once communicated with Mr..
Mackay and conferred over the dates,
with the result that March IL was decid-
ed upon for Barre.
Later in the evening at a meeting of
the Board of Trade members it was de-
cided to carry out the program largely as
it had been prepared for the proposed
visit of General Edwards in January;
and the responses from relatives of
members Of the 26th division were turned
over to the secretary of that organiza-
tion.
Another matter considered by the
Board Of Trade last night Was a request
from the city council to appoint a com
mittee to confer with the city council re-
garding soldiers and sailors memorial
to be erected in Barre. II seems that the
matter had already come to the Board of
Trade through the Manufacturers &
Quarters association, but it was con
sidered probable that all the organiza-
tions would pool their efforts and meet
with the city council, so the president OF
the Board of Trade was instructed to ap-
point a committee to confer with the
council on the date specified,
