According to a statement made yes terday by U. s. District Attorney R.. F. Roth, Assistant Attorney Harry E. Pratt has resigned from that position effective at once. No successor has been selected by MT. Roth to fill the vacancy left by MT. Pratts resigna- tion.

Pratt gave up his post tioD and will remain in the states at least that long in order to get neces- sary treatment. MT.

DENY REPORT THAT ITALY

Paris, March 24.-The highest Amer
ican authorities declared today that
there is absolutely no foundation in a
report that Italy had threatened to
withdraw from the peace conference
unless awarded Fiume. On the con-
trary, they said, they have found Pre-

In view of the reiterated reports of
such a threat by a press association,
the official Italian press bureau today
issued another denial, declaring:
at can be authoritatively stated
that Italian delegation took no de-
cision of this nature"
The French press generally is carry
ing similar denials. For example, the
Temps said:

ly that the Italian delegation has

Parks met a number of prospectors

The creek runs into slough of the

PEACE CONFERENCE
IN CHAOS AFTER ITS
WEEK OF DISCUSSION
BY LOWELL MELLETT.


Paris, March 24.--The peace confer
ence today began what was supposed
to be the last week of it's work on the
preliminary peace treaty with every
thing apparently in state of chaos.
1t seemed as though the delegates had
nothing to show for their many weeks
of hard work except an increased ac-
cumulation of unsolved problems.
If the situation is half as bad as its
surface indications, 1t seems certain
the conference will not wind up it's
work on the treaty this week or for
several weeks. But members of the
American delegation pointed out that
the situation is similar to that of the
closing days of congress, a state leg
islature or national convention
when 1t appears impossible that the
work will be completed, yet 1t is al
most finished.
MAY FORCE THE ISSUE.
There is a tendency to feel, too, that
hereafter the British and Americans
will cut the Gordian knots in the peace
settlement by the direct method of lay
enforcing it by their economic, finan-
cial and political domination.
For instance, the Rhine question ap-
peared insoluble today. The French
were still holding out for territorial Sc
curity on the left bank. Various COM
promises have been suggested, rejected
and renewed. The most notable of
these is the creation of buffer state
by establishing independence of the
Rhenish provinces. If no scheme con-
sistent with the principle of self
termination and no annexations is
achieved the problem is expected to be
terminated by a flat American and
British declaration somewhat to this
effect:
You have tried and we have
helped you to work out plan Of
territorial guarantees which will
not violate the principles underly-
ing the armistice. Our attempts
have ended in failure. Therefore
you must accept simply the guar
antee offered under the league of
nations
ANGLO CAN DO IT.
Few here doubt the ability of Great
Britain and the United States to en-
force the solution above suggested.
The Anglo-American delegates are
expected to take the same attitude
toward Italy and Japan.
AS a result, while there appears to
be no solution to these and many other
questions in sight, it is always possible
to fasten the lid on international bick-
erings and sign a treaty covering all
necessary points in line with the ar
mistice provisions.

OPPOSITION DEVELOPS
TO PROPOSED CHANGES

able to the United States.
BY CARL D. GROAT.

Paris, March 24.-An amendment to
the league of nations covenant cover
ing the Monroe doctrine advocated by
President Wilson and Colonel House is
expected to be presented at tonights
session of the league commission.
The proposed amendment would
prevent any power from acquiring
territory in the western hemisphere
by conquest, purchase, militarily or
otherwise unless the Americas con-
sent.
BRITISH OPPOSE 1T. ~
This article was reported today to
the meeting with opposition within the
commission, especially by the British
and French. who have extensive inter-
ests in the Americas. 1t could not be
learned whether the president will at
tempt to force through the amendment
despite the opposition, but it was be-
lieved he viii strongly advocate its
adoption, inasmuch as it would remove
much of the ground for opposition in
the United States.
The Monroe doctrine proposal is held
by some to mark considerable re-
cession from Wilson's original position,
that the covenant would not be altered,
except in u minor way.
The proposal for changes in the CO.
venant submitted by Senator King of
Utah have not yet been officially COM
mented on.

Official Quarters in Paris See
Worst Menace Than the
0verrunning Hordes Of Hun
land.
SOCIAL COLLAPSE NOW
THREATENS, 1T is SAID
Belief Expressed That Situation
Has Come to a Head With
Declaration Of War by the
B0ISheviki.
By ERRED S. FERGusoN.

By FRED S. FERGUSON.
Paris, March 24.-The world
faces an infinitely more serious
situation today than it did year
ago when the German super often
sive was at its height, according
ing to the belief expressed in cer-
tain official quarters. This despite
the fact the armistice was signed
five months ago, and the peace
conference has been in session
three months.
WHAT, NOW THREATENS.
Instead of military defeat. it is eco
nomic. financial and social collapse
that is now threatening. ECONOMIC
EXPERTS AGREE THAT EVERY
DAY LOST IN SIGNING PEACE
BRINGS THE GENERAL CRISIS
THAT MUCH NEARER.
There was tendency today in fact,
to. regard Hungary's action in form
ing soviet republic in alliance with
the Russian Bolsheviki and declaring
war on the allies as meaning the crisis
already has been reached.
There was no disposition to hide the
belief that the menace of Bolshevism
has been increased hundredfold by
the new situation in Hungary.
ONCE WORKED; NOW iNDIF-
FERENT.
"A year ago everyone in the world
was at work." said one of the leading
economic and financial authorities. II
they were not fighting they were pro-
ducing. In addition war impulse was
speeding up industry. The govern
ments had control and everyone had
to do something. But everything is
now heading for stagnation and dis
order, unless speedy counteraction is
taken.
In the meantime, the peace confer
ence is in the worst muddle since 1t
opened. The hour of decisions having
arrived, it can be stated that the situa- :
tion is as follows:
There is a constant tendency to
drag in extraneous questions For in

MAY USE AIRPLANES TO
PACIFY THE MEX. BORDER

Ell Paso, Texas, March 24.--Reported
killing of five Mexican cattle rustlers
by United States cavalry men, who
chased the bandits miles into Mexico
southeast of here, was in line with n
new movement today for pacification
of the border country.
Use of American airplane squad
rons to locate the Mexican BAN
dts is the leading feature of a
proposed increased border guard.
Inability of the Carranza govern
ernment to prevent border raids on
American ranches was pointed to as
the result of the reported American
pursuit below Ruidosa. Also strong
details have been received of the Car
ranzista claim that the bandit chiefs,
Lopez. Vega, Holquin and Hipolita
Villa, were killed by federal troops in
Mexico.
TO BOMB THE BANDITS.
Prominent Spanish Americans in
New, Mexico are reported to be back
ing the movement to send American
military airplanes to hunt the villistas
in the mountains and Alkali plains of
Chihuahua. Bombing from the air is
a possibility.
This proposal for open military CO.
operation with the Carranza govern
ment is said to be awaiting the re-
turn Of President Wilson to Washing
ton when It will be suggested that a
special American commission be ap-
pointed to take up this and other
subjects with Carranxa. Governor
Larrazol6 OF New Mexico is being
urged as head of this commission.
