QUIT U.S.PEACE
BOARD IN huff
Members Who Resigned
Are Of Lesser Importance,
With Varying Opinions.

Paris, May N.-The action of nine
members of the American peace COM
mission in rendering their resigna-
tions, as an expression of their dis
approval of the German treaty, has
brought to light the fact that their
sentiments are shared by a great por-
tion of the commission.
II inquiries made by the United
Press today are any indication. those
disapproving the terms form a consid-
cradle majority of the commission.
albeit they are principally the lesser
members.
In fact. inquiries have not yet re-
vealed any member giving unqualified
approval of the treaty. The neares,
approach to approval is from those
who say the treaty is bad, but that
the League of Nations redeems It's
faults.
Some Condemn President.
Mingled with detailed objections to
the treaty are condemnations OF
President Wilson for giving his as
sent. though on the other hand many
defend his sincerity, saying that
creation of the league was a bigger
and more difficult task than those
outside the peace conference appre-
ciate and that he was compelled to
sacrifice one purpose after another in
order to accomplish this one great
aim.
They say the Shantung settlement Is
bad, the Saar settlement is bad. the
Italian settlement is bad. and so on.
but if the league works all these
things will be Strengthened out in the
next generation.
Others argue. however. that the
league as now constituted is too
feeble an instrument to do the work
intended. as result of which all
these sacrifices have been made in
vain.
Expert Delivers Complaint.
The first class not only includes
numerous experts whose names are
only slightly known to the Ameri-
can public. but some members of
the very small inside group that
participated in fashioning the
treaty. including some of the best
known men among the Americans
here. The less prominent members
number the men who have been
engaged for the last two years un-
der direction Of Col. House in gath
ering special data for use by the
Peace Conference-recogn stu
dents of economics, foreign policies
and territorial relationships.
Their complaint is that the infor-
nation so gathered has not been
used or even referred to. They
came to Paris prepared to present
information supporting every ideal
and principle for which America
entered the war. They say they
found at the end of six months
negotiations that their information
was disregarded and that the rep
fesentatives of no other nation came
to the conference in the same spirit,
coming instead to barter and trade.
Calls Treaty 'Pork" Measure.
One such member expressed his
view Of the situation in this way:
THE treaty is a regular rivers
and. harbors bill. President Wilson
found himself involved in a trading
game in order to get the league of
nations through. I hope the world
will find he hasn't paid too great a
price"
Among these experts there Is talk
of a congressional inquiry into the
way the treaty was made, though
none says that he himself will de-
mand such an inquiry. They seem
to take 1t for granted that Con-
gress will conduct such probe.

GIVES UP
FOR HIS CHILDREN
All the Elements of Drama in
Gun-a-Nook's Case.

PRINCE RUPERT, b. c.. Sept. ga
Babies are funny things. Between
gurgle and dimple they sometimes
change a mans whole nature. a chubby
little hand is now and then as powerful
as the hand OF destiny in swinging a
mans life into new channels.
Two prospectors trudsing along the
trail north of Hazelton were murdered
in 1906. Gun Nook, an Indian of
the Babine tribe, who had quarrelled
with them, fled into the mountains. The
tragedy aroused the frontier. Posses
searched the wilderness Safe on some
lofty ledge Gun a Nook watched his
baffled pursuers and laughed at them.
After the first hue and cry the pursuit
settled down to long. systematic
search. 1t lasted thirteen years and cost
the Canadian Government $4,000.
Gun Nook found sanctuary in the
wild, broken Kitiwanga country between
the Skeena and Mass Rivers, on the
edge of the scenic wonderland that un-
folds north of the transcontinental line
of tho Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.
He kept always on the move. Where
he camped one night he never camped
again. Now ne was heard of in the
Businesses of the Atna and Babine
mountains, now in the Findlay River
COUNT" row on the headwaters of the
Peace. To every outlying settlement
and trading post Gun a Nook was a
name of terror.
Gun a Nook married a daughter of
his people His squaw shared his wan
derings and adventures. Children were
born. Their laughter filled the lonely
lodge in the wilderness. They grew into
sturdy youngsters, skillul with bow and
arrow. in trapping ana fshing.
Gun Nook slipped into the villages
OF his tribe occasionally. He saw the
children going to school They spoke
English and read out OF white mems
books. He marVeled at their knowledge,
The littlest pappoose was wiser than he
II dawned upon him that he had re-
manned Hopeless savage, while his race
was going forward. When he thought
OF his own children out in the wilder
ness growing up in ignorance his heart
was sore He wanted them to have
their chance for an education,
He pondered the situation for n long
time. He could enjoy freedom to the
end II he wished. But freedom for him
meant his children doomed to sayagery
and Ignorance. Only his surrender
could give them the advantage Of
schools Surrender meant perhaps death
on the gallows, but new and higher
life for his little ones. He decided at
last to pay the price,
So Gun Nook, Indian of old tradl-
lions, outlaw, desperate, fugitive for
thirteen years, came down out OF the
mountains the other day into Hazelton
and sacrificed himself for his children by
giving himself up. He is now in Van

NEWSPRINT PRICES
MAY BE REVISED
Controller Asks Both Sides to
Get Together.
Special Correspondence to the CGnddidn
Section Of THE SUN.


Special Correspondence to the Cdnddidn
Section Of THE SUN.
MONTREAL, Sept. 22. - 1t Is now
quite clear that the paper manufac-
turers are to get q revision OF the ex-
eesslvely low controlled prices on news
print between March 1, 1917. and July
/, 1918, as well as n new price from
December l, 1918, to the present time.
In a half day sitting last week the
Controller intimated that he had been
informed by the Paper Tribunal that
their recent judgment on the price for
Ave months from July l, 1918, had not
taken into consideration any shortage
OF price prior to that period, and such
shortage II existent must therefore be
made up by revising the prices paid in
the earlier months.
Controller Pringle implored the news
paper publishers and the manufacturers
to get together, at least to the extent of
agreeing to let the Tribunal settle the
price without bothering him first; but
they We're unable to do so, and it was
decided to adjourn the hearing until
October. The chances are very strong
that this revision will deprive the pub
fishers of all the benefits which were
granted them by the recent reduction OF
prices for the summer of 1918, and by
the time that prices have been revised
for the current period as well they may
find themselves owing the paper mills a
lot of money.
Some of the publishers charged that
they were unable to get paper at all,
the mills claiming that they were under
contract to United States consumers for
all their available output The Con-
troller said that he would see to it that
all Canadian publishers got their re-
uuirements satisfied The manufac-
turers, however, state that It is en-
tirely question of the credit and
standing of the purchaser, and that
nobody who has cash or a good line of
credit is being deprived of newsprint.

now established as reasonable price for
July 1 to December 1, 1918, without
regard to any circumstances outside OF
tina. period, will undoubtedly Justify
price much higher than $50 for most of
the period from December, 1918, to the
present time, for cost of production has
undoubtedly increased much more than
SO ton since the end of the sec
period.
In this connection 1t is significant that
one or the three judges on the paper
tribunal, Justice Archer, without for
mally Dissenting from the judgment,
added n rider to the effect that he would
have supported a price of $50 for the
first three months of the period under
review and of $50 for the two closing
months.
Satisfied with Regulation.
It may be added that the manufac-
turers are very well satisfied with the
operations of the price regulation sys-
tenn" as finally worked out by the Do
minion Government The original idea
of the newspaper publishers in demand
ing regulation was TO have all regula-
ton performed by the Government itself,
and thus to enjoy the benefits of the
political pressure which they would have
been able to bring to bear for the en-
forcement of their most extreme de-
mands.
In consequence Of the vigorous re-
sistance put up by the paper manufac-
turers, the Government found it advisa-
BILE to avoid taking the responsibility of
itself regulating tire price of paper anu
created, first of all. the office of Paper
Controller, and, second a judicial body
known as the paper tribunal. to re-
view the decisions of the Paper Con-
troller, thereby establishing Thoroughly
independent court beyond the reach OF
political wire pulling and journalistic
buldozing.
The position of the paper manufac-
turers is very much stronger now that
they enjoy the protection of this tribunal
than 1t would have been If they had had
to defend their interests against the
tremendous power Of the associated
newspapers in the open arena of politics.
