By Associated Pres.

MineoIa, l.. l.. June 17.--Active prep aratfons for reception of the giant British dirigibie R-34. which Is ex- pected here Sunday, were begun today with the construction of 10 concrete. blocks. ench seven. feet. square. and eight feet deep, to which the aircraft will he moored. Roosevelt field has been selected as the landing place, as there Is no hangar in the country largo enough to house the airship, which is 64S feet long from nose to stern.
 Army and navy authorities are CO., operating with a special force of Bris- ish naval aviation mechanics sent here in charge of Major Hugh Fuller of the royal air force to establish an Amer ican base Fifty American aviation mechanics, especially qualified in the handling of lighter than air craft. ar rived here today from Rockaway Beach to assist in the preparations, and 250 more are expected from varl- ous other stations in the east before the airship's arrival
 Naval stores all over the country have been called upon to supply l,00O,- 900 cubic feet of hydrogen gas to be available for the use of the British craft. The R-s4 has a capacity os more than 2,O00,0O0 cubic rect
 The trip from England to the United States is expected to take 50 hours. If the weather is favorable, the course

 but is not expected to land until early in the evening". if the weather is hot at the time of her arrival.
 Hot weather causes expansion of the hydrogen gas and increases the lifting capacity. Inasmuch as the load ca'- ried will be light when the aircraft l arrives, it is believed that an easier landing could be made in the cooler hours of the evening. Present plans call for only an overnight stay of 8 or 10 hours if the craft can be re- l fueled and filled up for her return | journey in that period of time. Bo- fore starting on her return trip it is possible the craft may fly over New | York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and l Washington.

Hope Is Expressed That
 Situation Created by Lat est Occurrences at Juarez Will Be Satisfactorily Ad- justed by Governments
By Associated Press

Washington, June 17.-Gen-
 eral Candido Aguilar, Presi-
 dent Carranza's confidential
 ambassador to the United
 States, issued to the press to-
 day a formal statement de-
 claring that "the government
 and people of Mexico consider
 as a violation of Mexican SOW
 ereignty the crossing of United States soldiers into Mexican territory and expressing the
 hope "that the situation creat
 ed by the latest occurrences in
 ,Juarez will be satisfactorily ad
 Justed between the two ccun- tries. "
 A copy of General Aguilars statement was sent to the state department, but NAAs~A~-NS eAAS4 o ooid taCy .uio uOl IeSdTQ it in the nature of a formal protest and that no reply would be made. They added that no other communication had been received from the Mexican government re- garding the entry of American forces into Mexico to dispose Villistas who fired into Fl Paso.
 When American troops crossed the bor- der, General Aguilar and pr. Rojo, the Mexican charge, were invited to the state department by Acting Secretary Phillips,
 who explained why the American forces entered Mexico and gave assurances that
 they would be withdrawn immediately
 after their object had been attained. It was understood that both of the Mex ican representatives appeared to be sat- isfied with the explanation and in the light of this it was assumed General Aguilar had sent his statement to the state department merely to keep the re- cord straight.
 In this connection, it was learned au- lthoritatively today that President Car ranza never had consented to the asree- | Iment proposing that where bandit bands l lcommitted depredations in either country (Ccntinued on Page Twe.)

DISPOSITION OF SURPLUS FOOD ID
 BE INVESTIGATED
By Associated Pres,


 Washington, June 17.-A separate position of surplus food stocks by the war department was indicated today by developments in both House and Senate committees. c. W. Hare, direc- tor of sales in the departments demob- iiization organization, was questioned at length by the Senate military conn mittee in this connection during hear ings on the army appropriation bill. and later a resolution calling on Sec retary Baker for detailed reports as to quantities of foodstuffs held in storage was introduced in the House by Repre- sentative Treadway, republican, of Mas sachusetts.
 In the meantime, the House special committee to investigate war depart ment expenditures met and appointed five subcommittees, each of which will handle a reparate part of the supply and material expenditures. No date for beginning these hearings was set, how ever, and there was some indication that the food question might be re- viewed aside from these five inquiries
 The treasury resolution seeks infor- nation not only as to food stocks on hand, but also as to offers received for the surplus and details as to contracts under which these stocks were &C., quired. Director Hare dealt with some of these matters before the Senate committee. His statement that the food administration had refused to pur- chase war department surplus stocks of bacon, but later had bought similar spplies consigned to. the Italian gov ernment, drew the attention of com mittee members, and MT. Hare agreed to give details of the transactions later. He told also of an agreement with the National Gamers association under which a huge store of canned vegeta- bles owned by the government is to be marketed.
 Director Hare estimated the value of the war materials in this country owned by the governmet at $2,000,00o,- 900, but did not know the proportion regarded as surplus.
 Chairman Wadsworth of the Senate military committee announced tonight that hearings on the army bill would close tomorrow and that the commit tee hoped to have the bill ready to re- port to the Senate late this week.

 Unofficial reports vary as to whether the Germans will or will not sign the treaty. A Lon- don di~patch, quoting n message from Berlin. says seven members of the Gevman cabinet are in favor of signing, hut that the other seven are opposed to such action. A Paris newspaper asserts that one of the German peace dele Entes declared before he left ver- saiIles for Weimar that Germany would sign because it was realized dire consequences would follow refusal.
 ; Considerable resentment pre- vails by reason of the fact that the German delegation, on leaving Versailles for Weimar. was booted by . crowd of hoodlums and two members of the delegation were struck by stones.

BERLIN WILL NOT | ACCEPT TREATY, IS
 UNIVERSAL BELIEF
By A..oola,sd rrs..


 Berlin, June 1.-The impress sion of those who engaged thrOughout the night in translate ing the reply of the allied and ns- sociated powers is that it will be utterly impossible to sign and that 1t Is probable n negative reply will be wired to Dr. Haniel von Hahn hausen for submission to M. Gle menceau.
 It Is also considered possible that Count von BrOckdOrff-Rant- xau, hend of the German delega- tiOn, will not return to Versailles on account of the demonstration there against the delegates, re- suIting in injury to Minister Cies- berts, Frau DOrlblush. Attache Meyer and others. all of whom were hit by stones. Meyers eye was injured by glass.
 Changes in the peace terms, as indicated by the red fnterline- ntions in the text of the old trenty are so slight ns to cause univcr- sal dismay nmOng those who have had the opportunity of examining the documents. The financial notifications are considered un- important and objectionable. and the terms governing Germany's admission to the league of nn- tions are declared to be unsatis- factory.
 Government circles state thnt they cannot conceive any govern ment willing to sign such terms, though it is admitted that the treaty will be fully discussed, be- cause it is realized that serious effects with the spread of bOlshe- vfsm would be entailed i'm refusal to sign. The entente's answer also Is considered nothing less than an ultimatum.

WIRE REPEAL BLOCKED

Washington, June 17.-Plans of House leaders for the passage of legislation re- pealing government wire control were blocked unexpectedly today by prolonged discussion of a conference report on an appropriation bill, which had the legls- lation right-of-way despite the decision of the rules committee to make the wTs repeal a special order of business
 With the failure to get acton tooay' house leaders expected that the wire re- peal would be further side-tracked tomor- row for calendar bills including that re- healing the daylight saving law. AS soon as the daylight saving repeal IS disposed of. it is planned to take up the rules committee resolution in the wire leglsla- ton. ,,,
 The house wire repeal legislation VIII be based on the senate bill which has been amended to provide that the wire prop critics be returned to their owners TOT private operation at the end of the calen- dar month in which the bill is approved instead of forthwith as originally pro vided. The House measure also differs from that of the Senate by providing TOT continuance of government-recommen phone rates for maximum period of SIX instead of three months.

 A period of waiting has settled over the peace conference in Paris while the Germans at Weimar arc making up their minds whether to accept or reject the slightly amended treaty of peace handed them at Versailles Monday.
 While the Germans are discuss- ing the situation President Wilson Is to make his long promised visit to Belgium and David Lloyd George, the British prime minister. will go over the verdun bstele- field. Both President Wilson and MT. Lloyd George are expected to return to Paris Friday and mean while 1t is anticipated that little work will be done. except by the various commissions upon which have been imposed the task of whipping into shape the ques.ions unEettled betwAen the allies md Austria Hungary and other enemy countries. Accounts of the recep- ton at Weimar of the amended peace treaty and the covering note written by Premier Clemenceau are to the effect that there was deep pessimism and resentment over the alleged NFuelty of the terms.
 A telephonic message received at Weimar from Versailles short- ly after the treaty and the note were placed In the hands of the Germans characterized them as ordinarily rouEh and overbearinE and declared that the Germans Bad been granted smaller conees- sions than they had expected through the reading of unofficial forecasts of the terms of the treaty.

This statement was refuted by officers of the Association Of Western Union em- ployes who declared business was normal. that only slight inconvenience is caused by the action of the railroad operators and that reports indicate Postal Telegraph company strikers are returning to work in many towns.
 An attempt by the Association of Wes- tern Union Employes to have the Order of Railway Photographers rescind ln- structions for refusal to handle comnler- cial business was ended when the latter organization charged the association with being dominated by Western Union off cials and charged that it was not union body.
 Renlying the association officials de- nonnced the attitude of the railroad teleg- raphers and declared that "disgruntleo nersons, directing the strike do not rep resent the commercial telegraph craft.
 TTnion officials said that in number of towns industrial workers, particular ly telephol-s operators, had gone on strike |. is estimated 5000 girl operators. and 4oou annanloves are affected. Three thousand other employes are said to be lnvolVed in strike of the telephone crafts III southern California.

Ford, secretary of the inter xAs.onal brotherhood of electrical worh- CTS, wath headquarters at Springfieio' IT linois. said the California strikers Were due to failure of the telephone company to comply with Postmaster General Bur leson's order last Saturday granting the right of collective bargaining.
