GATHER NEXT TUESDAY
Director Hines Arranges Confer
enCe With Bankers.
Problem Of Financing Railways Will
Be the Subject Discussed
at Meeting.

Washington, March s. Director
General Hines determined to call a
conference of leading bankers and rail
way corporation representatives in
Washington next Tuesday to discuss
possible solutions of the problem
created by failure of congress to ap-
propriate funds for the railroad ad-
ministration.
While regarding it as probable that
no definite decision will be reached at
the conference, officials believed the
meeting might result in further nego-
tiations with groups of bankers. Re-
ports reached Washington that sew,
eral bankers had discussed the ad.
visibility of establishing bankers
pool to lend as much as 100000, ,000
to railroad interests. This plan, how
ever, has not been presented to the
railroad administration, it is said
Regional directors of the railroad
administration and a number of fed
eral managers discussed the financial
situation faced by railroads at q con
ference called before the predicament
developed
The directors also went over a draft
of the new wage scale for employees oi
the four leading railway brotherhoods
designed to restore differentials exist
ing before the general wage advance
This will be announced shortly.

SITUATION IN RUSSIA
Raymond Robins Appears Before
Senate Committee.
Red Cross Worker Advocates Sending
Economic Mission to Combat
Anarchy.

Washington, March S.-Raymond
Robins of Chicago, former head of the
American Red Cross mission to Rus
sia, told the senate investigating COM
mittee that there was fundamental
menace for the world in Russian Boil
shevism and suggested means for COM
batting its spread,
The witness said a year ago, Mich
OLAF Lenine, Bolshevik premier, had
correctly forecast how Bolshevist ideas
would take root in Bulgaria, Austria
and Germany in the order named.
Mr.. Robins quoted Lenine as declar-
ing that in his opinion the American
government was entirely corrupt, and
as adding: I'VE challenge every gov.
ernment. We may be overwhelmed,
but at the same time we will destroy
all moribund political governments
Unceasing opposition to the prin-
ciples of Bolshevism, both in Russia
and in the United States, was advo-
Gated by Mr.. Robins, but he warned
against the use of military force and
the arbitrary suppression of ideas.
The witness said the United States
should send an economic mission to
Russia to aid the people in obtaining
the necessaries of life, declaring this
would be the most effective way oil
fighting Bolshevism

indications Now Are That All
Large German Warships Will
Be Destroyed.
WORKING OUT DETAILS
French and italian Views May Be
Harmonized by Apportioning
Some of the Vessels to
Those Countries.

Paris, March S.--The council OF the
great powers, with Premier Lloyd
George back as head of the British
delegation, Marshal Foch and the full
membership of the war council pres
ent. took up the military, naval and
aerial terms of German disarmament.
Most of the time was given to the
naval terms, which were largely
settled, with several features still re-
served, including the destruction Of
large German ships.
Premier Lloyd George was disposed
to have England take part of these
ships, but he yielded this view when
shown that it would involve an in
creased naval building program in the
United States.
AS result of the British and
American view i'm agreement, and az
means of harmonizing the French and
Italian views, it is possible that some
of these ships will be apportioned to
France and Italy, instead of being de
stroyed.
AS the terms for the dismantling oi
the fortIncation or kfel canal were
causing some discussion, the council
adopted a motion referring the Kie
question to the commission on water
ways. The commission will now con
slider the whole subject, including the
American reservations that the action
on the Kiel canal shall not be q prec
edent affecting American canals and
waterways capable Of being used fol
strategic purposes.
American Proposal Adopted.
The council also adopted the Ameri
can proposal requiring each commits
sion TO submit with It's report the spe
cific form of an article to be presented
in the peace treaty.
The purpose of this is to give the
council the specific terms OF subject
instead OF a lengthy report. from which
the council may frame terms.

Three Senators FIay League OF
Nations Plan in Addresses
at New York.
AMERICA IS MENACEO
Reed of Missouri Declares That Con-
struction of League Is Autocratic
and That Americans Have
Been Msled.

New York, March S.-Senators Reed
of Missouri, Borah of Idaho, and
Thomas of Colorado, in addresses be-
fore the Society of Arts and Sciences
here, voiced opposition in varying de-
grees to the league of nations as out
lined in the tentative covenant brought
home by President Wilson.
Senator Borah declared that those
who have wrecked Europe for 800
years have absolute control of the
proposed league of nations" and de-
manded that the question of Americas S
entry into the league be decided by
plebiscite of the people.
Senator Thomas urged that the for
nation of world league be postponed
until after the conclusion of peace and
that league plan then be worked out
calmly and in the light Of experience
gained from the peace settlement"
Calls Construction Autocratic.
Senator Reed declared the construe-
tion of the league was essentially au-
tocratic," that the American people
had been 'misled regarding it and that
it was high time patriots aroused
themselves to the hidden and sinister
purposes of the undertaking"
Calling attention to the fact that
the United States would have but one
vote in the executive council of the
proposed league, while Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan each would
have one vote, Senator Borah declared
that IF there arose a conflict between
European policies and American poll
cies, there would be one Asiatic vote,
three European votes and but single
American vote"
"Not Nation League at Ali.D
"The power of war or peace" he de-
clared, would rest with FIVE diplo-
mats, three of them European, sitting
behind closed doors.
ut is not a league of nations at all
but a league of representatives of
certain nations, holding in their hands
the power OF peace and war without
any check by the masses who have to
fight"
Article 10, providing that each ma
tion in the league shall guarantee the
territorial integrity of all members,
he said, was the only clear provision
in the constitution. And l have no
doubt who wrote that. 1t was not the
American delegates"
Asserting he had been asked what
he would offer in place of the league
he declared he had to offer The In
tense nationalism of Washington, OF
Monroe, of Lincoln, of Theodore Roose
! velt."
America should live her own life'
he continued.

Paris, March S.-Destruction OF Ger
man submarines has been accepted by
the big five as one of the conditions
to be Incorporated in the final peace
treaty. This decision was reached in
the course of the councils review of
the naval terms to be imposed upon
the Germans
Decision was reserved, however
with regard to the proposal that the
Kiel canal be destroyed and the for
tihcations of Helgoland be reduced
The fate of the German feet also re-
mains undecided.
Food Question Considered.
The big FIVE" also took up the
proposition of sending food into Bo-
hemia and German Austria Means of
getting supplies into the districts
which most urgently need them were
to be discussed. The populations OF
these territories, 1t is felt, must be
kept from going hungry, if the spread
of Bolshevism is to be prevented.
Premier Lloyd George, since his re.
turn to Paris, has added his weight
to speeding up proceedings not only
toward an early signing of the peace
treaty, but also toward quickly meet
ing the food situation In Central Eu-
rope.
British reports regarding conditions
In Germany and German Austria are
similar t6 the reports reaching the
Americans. Conditions in Austria are
described as being most critical, the
people being on the verge of starva,
tion. The delegates appreciate that
this situation may become so serious
that Germany will break up, making
the signing of any kind of a peace i'm.
possible.
Le Temps has raised an objection to
the Allies feeding German-Austria
voiciEg widespread French senti
ment against it. However, it is gen
orally looked on by peace delegates
as necessary step in bring about
world peace and tranquility
Food Saved Poland.
1t is pointed out that the work OF
the Food administration in rushing
supplies to Poland, under the great
est difficulties, was all that saved the
situation there and prevented the
country from disintegrating.
Incidentally, the feeding of Poland
was carried out in spite of persistent
obstructive tactics by the German au
thorities at Danzig

Food Board Plans for Resumption OF
Lower Price.
Washington, March 8.-The nickel

istration officials said. They are work
ing on plan, said to be nearly ready
for submission to Herbert Hoover and
President Wilson, to utilize the 81 .0O0,-
100000 wheat price guarantee fund for
decreasing the price of -four to bread
makers and while maintaining the
1926 wheat price for the farmer
The tentative plan, according to Off
cials, embraces the taking over of the
flour supply of the country at nomi-
nal profit to the millers and selling it
to the public at loss of 81 barrel
They express no doubt that the for
eign demand for wheat will be sum-
cient to keep the wheat price up to
the governments guaranteed figure.

Pittsburgh, March S.--The argument

in clash between Jugo-Slavs and
Italians at Spalato, according to Rome
