POLICE CHANGES WILL
HIT DETECTIVES FIRST

Changes to be made in the police de-
partment, which have been under con-
sideration for several months, will be
determined upon as soon as C. w, Mil
Ter, commissioner of police is able to
be at his office. He has been Ill at his
home since Tuesday morning. A con-
ference set for "Wednesday night was
postponed owing to his illness.
Although the election of number of
city department heads is fixed by the
charter for the first 4of the year no
elections have been held yet. Mayor
Monteverde said Thursday that not a
single change is contemplated, except
In the police department. He was not
prepared to state, in the absence OF
Mr., Miller, what those changes will be.
Unofficial information is that COM
plete reorganization of the detective
branch viii be made, that j. B. Burney
will be retained as chief of police, but
that a number of shifts will be made
among other officers.
Probably some men will also be
dropped from the list of patrolmen.
That was decided upon some time ago,
but Mr.. Miller and the other members
Of the city commission have not yet
agreed upon the changes to be made
among the officers. Mr.. Miller's rec
ommendation as to patrolmen probably
will be agreed upon.
There are a number OF applications
on file for appointments to the police
force. The civil service commission will
hold meeting in few days to set the
date for civil service examinations for
both the police and fire departments.

FATE OF WOMEN WHO
WORK is IN BALANCE

LONDON, May s. Correspondence
of the Associated Press. An economic
battle is being waged over the 1.50o.-
600 unemployed women of the country
who earned good wages chiefly as mu-
nitions workers during the war. Some
English newspapers and commentators
are asking II sex war is one Of the
sinister possibilities OF the future. They
point out that the situation is more
dangerous than when the suffragets
were wont to smash windows and ter
rorize the London police, because the
women did not then know the full
measure of their power.
Since the arinistice was signed it has
become more and more apparent that
these 100000 women workers would
have to return to private life so as to
give opportunity of employment for re-
turning soldiers. But they have not
accepted the situation with good grace,
and have answered the challenge Of
the economic condition by strong or
ganizations whose avowed intention is
to safeguard the position of woman in
industry

ENJOYS
FOR AUSTRIA
QUIT VIENNA
Delegation Due to Reach st.
Germain Friday-,Kerensky
Former Russian Premier in
Paris, But Not at Congress.

PARIS. May S.-The French foreign
office received information late today
that the Austrian peace delegation had
left Vienna last night and would reach
st. German probably tomorrow.
Alexander Kerensky, the former Rus5
sian premier, is in Paris, 1t became
known today. He has not, however,
made an appearance in peace confer
ence circles.
The council of four, with Premier
Orlando of Italy present. began today
10 arrange the program for the presen-
tation Of peace terms to the Austrian,
Hungarian and Bulgarian delegates.
The Austrian treaty has begun to take
form. Portions of it already have been
drafted.
It appears that instead of Germany
being required to pay the entire in
demnity demanded by the allies, a
considerable sum will be demanded of
Austria, the estimate of this sum at
present being 5000, ,O00,0 900 crowns. This
indemnity provision and the elimination
OF the frontiers of the new state will
be the main features of the treaty now
In making. Provision is to be made
for dividing Austria -Hungarys prewar
debt among the new states formed from
territory formerly belonging to that
empire.
The frontiers between German Aus
tria and Italy, and probably the Adrl-s
attic settlement will also figure in the
Austrian treaty.
limitations reaching the peace con-
ference from Versailles lead to the be-
lief that two or three members of the
German peace delegation probably will
return to Germany to consult their gov
ernment, the others remaining at Ner-
sailles.
Germany has not yet submitted any
communication with regard to the
peace treaty, All the exchanges be-
tween the delegation at Versailles and
the home government are being kept
secret
A copy of the treaty is we'll on it's
way to Berlin. A German courier left
at 3 o'clock last night, bearing 1t with
Count Won Brockdorff- -Rantzaus first
report on the negotiations.
II is expected that the United States

tory of Armenia. The indications, are
that President Wilson will submit the
matter to congress.
