BRITISH MEN SILENT.

London. Nov. 22.-Nearly all Brit
ish public Nmen are silent concerning
the United States senate's dealings
with the peace treaty. The reason
for this is. that they understood
Americans regard the question as an
American domestic political affair
and fear that any expressions from
themsmight give offense and be tax
en- as attempts to influence American
politics.
The point the Liberal papers are
laying stress on Is that If America
keeps out Of the League Of Nations
the world will be thrown back into
the old whirlpool Of competitive arm
aments. Questions much debated are
whether 1t will be possible to carry
on the league without America, how
far the American example would in
ftuence other nations, which have not
yet committed themselves, to keep
out of the league, and whether the
South American governments would
follow the lead of the United States.

message to congress December /, 1T

House. Until then he will have no
thing to say concerning the senates

Before congress convenes, it was
said, administration senators will
confer and it is possible that the mild
reservationists on the republican side
will participate with view on res
ervations.
Regardless Of who Is selected to
succeed the Late Senator Martin as
democratic leader in the senate, there
will be no change in the leadership
in the treaty fight, 1t was said at the
White House. President Wilson con.
siders that Senator Hitchcock of Ne.

not again lead the administration

NOW BEING SURVEYED
(By United Press.

Calgary, Alta, Nov, 22.-Surveys
now are being carried on by Domip-

eastern Alberta, which may result in
the establishment of one of the
worlds greatest irrigation enter-
prises East of Edmonton, about
forty or fifty miles, running south Of
the international boundary is a strip

ate estimate can be made of the date
Of completion. At present inmates
of the barracks number about 1900.
The United States disciplinary
barracks is almost an institution of
Cicil war days. Some of the present
buildings were erected between 1865
and 1877. Other additions were
made as required when new branches
necessitated a broadening out of in
stitution buildings.
The new structure will have a
maximum frontage of 66S feet, a
maximum depth of 1856 feet and will
be seven stories in height at the
peak With the exception of steel.

kilns and brick plants as easily ac-
cessible, being located on the Fort

lishment of the barracks-are to be-
housed in the new building. Admin

Architectural plans call for dis
tinctive plainness. Inner courts are
to be so arranged, however, so that
every room will have windows on the
outside or on court. A sufficient
portion of the new building will be
erected to house one department, be-
fore the present building used by
that department is torn down.
The United States disciplinary bar
racks is separate institution from
the federal prison located here.
Major William. Blanchard, as con-
quartermaster of the bar

struction work. Preliminary plans
were launched under the administra-
tion of Col. Sedgwick E. Rice, form
er commandant. They are being for
warded by Maj. Gen. J. H. McRae,
present commandant Of the barracks.
The disciplinary barrac..s at Fort

at Alcatraz Island, California.

One Grover Used as Sheriff Removed

The old fat-top desk used by Grover
Cleveland when he was sheriff in 1872
has been taken out OF the sheriff's office
at the city and county hall and sent TO

The old desk had been in use at the

years prior to that time in the former

Among the papers in the desk were
letters referring to events of 20 years
ago. Sheriff Bradley sent some of them

NO DANGER OF DECENTRALIZATION
In United States, Declared E. H. Gary at
Trinity Commencement.

Hartford, Conn, June 23.-There :. 10
danger OF industrial Generalization, INV.
olution or retrogradation in this country,
u. H. Gary, chairman Of the board OF
directors OF the United States Steel cor
poration, told the students Of Trinity coll
iege to-day in a commencement address.
"Those who claim that large numbers
of workingmen in this country could be
induced to participate in any attempt to
override law or order, misjudge and I'M
derrate Them said Mr.. Gary. The great
majority are opposed and of this major
ity there are in control the young men
and the. young women; the pride and
security of the nation.
I'VE may not expect perfection in eco
nomic enterprise and management. Per
haps we shall not see universal, uninter-
rupted tranquility even in this highly
civilized, progressive and prosperous
country. The workingmen are credited
with worthy achievement or charged
with lawless and destructive tendencies
perhaps in both respects in unjustiiied
measure in most instances. The final at
titude of the large majority. certainly
in the United States, will be right. Their
own welfare will be thus promoted.
MANY of the wage earners have be-
come property owners, owning the houses
in which they reside. Some are holders
of interest bearing securities. The num-
Der of this character of investors is in
ereasing They have as keen desire to
see the institutions Of this country pro
tected as those who have greater riches,
and they may be relied upon to lend their
influence and their votes in favor of the
protection Of property and person OPP
portunity must be given to the work
man to Increase their pecuinary holdings
as far as practicable To this end the
employers will do their part"
Mr.. Gary expressed the opinion that
public sentiment in the future would
have more influence than ever before
upon the attitude of the employers to-
ward the employees. He declared that ev-
cry employee should have the chance to
progress from one position TO another
depending upon his merits and that sit
pays big in dollars and cents for the en-
ployers to maintain working conditions
which are beneficial TO the health and
disposition OF the employees"

SPIRIT OF AMERICAN
SOLDIERS HEALTHY
Want to Get Back to Civilian Life, How
ever, Because They Consider
Their War Job Finished.

American soldiers who return from
France find great deal of fault and
make many complaints, but their atti-
tude in this respect is not only thor
oughly Understandable and healthy but
even highly desirable, according to staff
Speaker John 4. Lathrop of the depart
ment of labor, who has been making ad-
dresses to thousands of young men, and
who has had personal interviews with
great many. Mr. Lathrop, who has
been connected with the information and
education service Of the department, will
leave shortly for France, where he will
be a speaker for the Red Cross
'The men make complaints" he said,
"but they are all right. Their attitude
is this-'We'ye finished up the big job
over there, and now we want to get to
work on the big job over here Briefly,
they want to get out of the army, and
to get back home. They still realize
that they have responsibilities to their
families and to the community; they
don't want to be dependent on anyone
A great difficulty in former wars has
been the tendency Of returned soldiers
to want to remain in the army, where
they are more or less relieved from re-
sonsibility. That isn't the case here.
Comparatively few Of the farm boys
want to break away from the farms and
go into the cities. Home is the place
they are all looking for, and the rea.
son for most of the complaints is that
the men don't think they are getting
home fast enough. They want to be de-
modified as quickly as possible, and to
get back into civilian clothes on civil
ian job They realize that republics
true greatness is in peace, not in war.
"But with all that they are absolutely
loyal to the American flag, and reedy to
serve ii again at any time It's mere
ly that the job is done now, and they
want to take up the new job."

AUSTRALIAN MINES CLOSED.
Because of Surplus Stock of Copper and
Very Small Demand.

London, June 23.--All but two of the
Australian copper mines and smeters
are reported to have been closed down
because of the large stocks of metal on
hand and the very small demand.
The American Chamber of Commerce
in London reports that this condition
has raised the question in interested cir
Giles in Great Britain as to whether cop
per should be imported from the United
States TO the detriment of the industry
in British dominions,
Sixty per cent of the British imports
of copper last year came from the Unit
ed States and only little over nine per
cent from Australia. War ALLEGATION of
shipping space had lot to do with this,
but there is feeling in England, that
imports from the United States should
be kept down and preference given TO
the Australian product This would be
a further means of reducing Great Brit
aims adverse balance of trade with the
United States.
