WASHINGTON. Sept. s.-The House
to-day honored the nations naval
leaders in the war, Admirals William
S. Benson and William S. Sims. by
voting to confer on them for life the
highest rank in the navy.
BY a vote of 244 to 7 bill was
passed authorizing the President to
appoint them to the permanent rank
of Admiral In recognition of their
services. Admiral Benson won dis
tinction as Chief OF Naval Operations
and the work Of Admiral Sims as chief
Of the American forces in European
waters is considered one of the bril-
liant achievements of the nations
naval history. Similar honors have
been conferred on only three others.

Both leaders were highly praised dur

into a eulogy OF their work, and the scat

rank came as a distinct surprise. as was

the exception Of the Secretary of War
or the President who can rightly give
Gen. Pershing orders. Not even the
Chief OF Stafr, despite his technical con-
troll over the military establishment, can
interfere in this matter, according to Of
fcers here. Gen. March is General only
by virtue of the post he holds of Chief

Peace Council Affirms Decision

PARIS, Sept. s.-Commercial blockade
of Rumania virtually was established
to-day with full vigor. Allied forces
are policing the frontiers to prevent
goods from entering the country and
allied naval forces are patrolling the
Bosporus. arresting all vessels bound
to the Black Sea port of Constanza-
Coincident with the establishment of
the blockade the Supreme Council of
the Peace Conference informed Ru-
mania that her offer to sign the Aus
trian peace treaty with reservations
that the minority provisions should
apply only to new territories had been
rejected. Rumania informed the Allies
of this stand in a note, which was
taken up for consideration at the ses-
sions to-day and a decision reached
quickly.
By this action tins Council reaffirmed
the decision taken by President Wilson
and the Big Four in Chinas case that
no reservations of any kind would be
permitted. In Rumania's case, as in
China's, this was as much to discourage
Parliaments from making reservations
as for anything else.
With the Austrian treaty ready there
is doubt whether either Serbia or Ru-
mania will sign after to-day's ruling by
the Council, but II they do not sign they
cannot participate in reparations under
the terms of the treaty, and some OF the
Allies, including the Americans hold IL
Will bar them from German reparations
as well. They will have removed them
selves from the allied bloc It is held.
The Japanese effort to have inserted a
clause that would prevent China from
signing has failed, and China, by sign
ing the Austrian treaty, will pave the
way for Joining the League OF Nations
