GENERAL FAVORS
FOCH AIM TO KEEP
FRENCH ON RHINE

CoblenZ, Tuesday, Jan 2S.-By
the Associated Press) Supporting
Garshal Foch's opinion that the
French should remain on the
Rhine, General Gouraud, under
whom the Americans fought in the
Champagne. made a similar decla-
ration to the American correspond
ents whom he had invited to lunch
con at his quarters in Strassbourg.
The Americans will go home
when peace is declared, and the
British will go home when peace
IS declared. But the French will
remain on the Rhine as a strategic
barrier" he said.
1t would never do, after the sac
riflces Of the great war to leave
open points where Germany might
again some day strike, he declared.

Laibach, Jan. 29-Reports from
Marburg state that quite a serious
disturbance broke there on the ar
rival of an American "debarkation
committee which was under COM

ported that five persons were

Master, of the Jugo-Slav army. is
said to have restored order there.
Marburg is a town N Styria,
Austria. 1t is situated on the
Drave river. Nothing in recent dis
patches would seem to explain the
presence of an American commits
sion there.
London, Jan. 29-German resi-
dents of Marburg, Styria, made d
demonstration in the streets of that
town Monday in honor of the ar
rival there by airship OF an Ameri-
Miles. According to an Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Vienna,
the action of the Germans aroused
General Majester, the Jugo-Slav
commander, who ordered the peO-
pie to disperse. When his order
was not obeyed. the dispatch adds,
he commanded his troops to fire,
with the result that eight persons
were killed and many injured.

sisting of four admirals represent
ing Great Britain. tho United
States, France and Italy has beer
in session at Fiume, inquiring into
the occupation of various forts
along the eastern coast of the

the italian representative, who is
not to be in entire ac-
cord with his colleagues as to the
desirability of the inquiry.

Belfast Scene of
Riots as Britain's
Big Strike Spreads

Belfast. Jan. 29.-There was
much riOtiRg in the dark streets
here last night. There was
considerable wantOn stone
throwing during the night,
many windows being broken.
The police frequently charged
upon the rioters.
London, Jan. 29.-The strike on
the Clyde was reported today to be
growing more serious. Nearly all
the big shipyards and engineering
works are on the verge of closing
down or carrying on their work
with small forces.
The strikers say that their OBJ
jectiVe is to remodel trades union
ism" and to establish an a nation
al basis the policy of direct action
of which this strike is an example"
The leaders of the Glasgow strik-
ers are said to be trying to link up
the strike on the Clyde with the
strikes in Belfast and London, not
withstanding the differences in the
aims of all three Of these move
mentS.
The Belfast strike committee
which wieIds immense power, has
taken upon itself with the involun-
tary acquiescence of the civil au-
thorities, some Of the attributes of
an industrial soviet" the Belfast
correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian reports.
The strike committee, it is ad-
ed, is peremptorily discouraging
violence
Miners in many Of the collieries
in West Scotland have struck in
sympathy with the men who threw
down their tools at Clyde. At a
strike conference at Glasgow on
Tuesday, it was decided to submit
to the government proposals for a
settlement on a basis of a 40-hour
week.
Weakness and subordination of
convictions to their personal inter
ests is charged against many of the
trades union leaders by Food Con-
troller George H. Roberts in an in
terview printed in the Mail today.
He says that this is one of the
chief causes of the present anar-
chy' in the industrial circles of

WOMEN'S AUXILIARY
TO CHAMBER PLANNED

Letters were mailed out to num-
Der of leading women of the COM
munity this morning by Jos. Perkins,
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, asking their advice on pro-
posal for the formation of a womens
auxiliary to the chamber.
"The war has demonstrated" said
Mr.. Perkins, that women really have
a place in civic affairs, and that they
can accomplish tasks to which they
set themselves. They are becoming
more closely identified with civic mat
ters every year, and l believe such
an auxiliary ,oficered and conducted
by the women themselves, but work
ing in conjunction with the Chamber
would be valuable asset to the city. "
1t is said such organizations are be-
ing formed in other cities.
