CONSTITUTIONAL CLAUSE BREACH
 OF PEACE PACT
Threaten to Extend Left Bank of Rhine Unless
 Germans Make Change.

Paris, Sept. 2-The supreme council Of the peace confer enco decided today to send a note In fOrcible terms to the German government pointing out the contradiction with the Versailles treaty Of the prOvi- sion in the new German con- stitutiOn providing for the re presenting of Austria in the German Reicl:Stag.
 The note demands an expression within a fortnight, declaring that otherwise the allies would be com pelled to undertake a further occUpa- ton of the left bank of the Rhine
 The article objected to is Article 61 of the German constitution as In con fhCt with Article 80 of the German peace treaty forbidding German in terferenCe in Austrian affairs.
 Article 90 of the Versailles treaty reads:
 ''Germany acknowledges and will respect strictly the independence of Austria within the frontiers which may be llACA m a. treaty beLWetn lIlaL state and the principal allied and as- sOciaUGd pOwe-ss she agrees that this independence shall be inalienabie, ex- Ccpt with the consent of the council of tho League Of Nations"
 The text of the paragraph in the German constitution referred to has not been received In this country. It appears, however. that the clause aD- piled to all tho territories of Ger man speaking peoples in Europe and therefore to German Austria, with tho effoCt of providing that Austria might have a certain number of re- personalities in the German parlia- meut proportionate to the Austrian population.

 SCENIC WONDER
Automobile Road to Be Con structed in Valley of Ten
 Thousand Smokes.

Cordova, Alaska, Sept. 2.-Com- pletion of a projected automobile road of IS miles up the beds of painted streams" is expected to open to tourists from all parts of the world the Valley of Ten Thous- and Smokes, in the Mount Katmai region of Alaska. about so miles north of Kodiak Island.
 When the Katmai volcano erupted in 1912 and covered thousands of square miles with ash and pumice. killing all vegetation and game and wiping out more than one settle mcnt, it was regarded as great calamity. But the eruption uncov- cred a strange formation which s declared to be one of the wonders of the world.
 The smokes" literally thousands of them, are clouds or jets of steam under various pressures, emitted from holes and remarkably colored cav erns in the solidfed volcanic clay. The entire valley, which is shaped somewhat like a clover leaf seemz 10 be gradually solidifying. The In dian who recently guided a motion picture party said many square miles, covered with semi-liquid hot mud T year ago, are now crossed without difficulty.
 Tn one of the three arms of the valley is a live glacier, at the foot of which ls a beautiful cObalt-blue lake of hot water. In another arm is the Falling Mountain, down whose face roll continually huge bOulders broken off near the snowcapped peaks by variations of temperature.
 Besides the scenic possibilities the valley is said to possess vast deposits of virtually pure sulphur, arsenic and other chemicals. Black sand was found in the many streets indi- eating possibilities of gold.
 The atmosphere resulting from the uniuue association of steam, hot rnud and the eternal snoVvs which ring the valley is reported remarkably brac- ing. There Is no wood in the valley but visitors have easily cooked beans, meats. and even baked bread by lowering vessels into the steam holes.

Great Capital Must Lapse Into Nothing More Than Resident ial City - No Sum- mary of Territorial C h an es Officially Made.

Paris, Sept, 2-The trcaty of peace will probably bo handed Che Austrian delegation late this afternoon. according to in diCatiuns hero this morning. The treaty will be accompanied with a covering lettering which, according to the fore casts, sets forth Auslria's re- sponsibility in aiding to bring about tho war and points out that she therefore could moi obtain treatment similar to that accorded CzeCho-SlOvakia and JuEo-Slavia.
 It is declared to recognize, how ever, that because of her small extent Austria win need economic and finan- cial help to insure her existance. No official s1lmmary of the territorial changes in the peace treaty has been given out bu- reports from confer cnce circles from time to time have lndica-ed that several alterations in the original provisos wore made. It is declared uuufTiciaIly. however, that inc treaty did not provide for a settle mcnt of the Plume controversy at present. the inference being that Aus tria would simply be informed of the territory she would have 60 reiiuuish and Chat tho disposition of Jhls ter ritory In certain cases would be left for subsequent adjustment
 As to the political future of Aus tria- however. it is known that under the treaty the LcaEguC Of Nations is to have a very large say. For one thing. the decision whether Austria shall be allowed to join Germany would be left with thc league Of such permission being given. howovCr. there would appcar Co be little chance as France is known tD bo opposed Co such a union as arc Switzerland and many other countries
 There socns to ibc a general feeling of dissatisfaction in peace conference circles with the treaty which was ada apted from thc German trunty and does not flt such a small power very we'll The council however. had aErccd today on virtually all sections Of the treaty because there is gen. efLl Ne@lT1nesS WlLn discussion

 1t IS, by no means, enough that an officer of the navy should be a capable mariner. He must be that, of course. out also great deal more. He should be, as well, gentleman of liberal edu- cation, refined man&er, punctilious courtesy and the finest sense of personal honor
 He should not only be able to express himself clearly and with force ilfA his own language. both with tongue and pen, but he should be versed in French and Spanish
 He should be the soul of tact, patience. justice, firmness and charity No meri- orious act of subordinate should es- ape his attention or be left to pass with out its reward. if even the reward be only one word of approval Conversely. he should not be blind to a single fault any subordinate. though at the same ime he should be quick and unfailing to istinguish error from malice, thought cssness from incompetency and we'll leant short-coming from needless or stu id blunder.

27 IN MANHATTAN

New York, December 26.--Twenty- seven, deaths from drinking wool all |cohol and several cases of poisoning have occurred in Manhattan between November and December 20, according to official figures made public tonight by Chief Medical Examiner Charles Norris. pr. Norris declared that in |his opinion, these figures did not near ly represent the full toll in deaths and sickness due to taking the poison as la beverage, as he believed that many deaths and illness reported as due to apoplexy acute abdominal trouble and other causes, were really caused by drinking wood alcohol connections.
 The official figures show that only five deaths from drinking wool alco- hol were reported in Manhattan for the year 1918 and only four in Brook lyn for four months prior to July l.
 Dr. Norris said that two ounces of ordinary wood alcohol were frequently sufficient to cause death. and that, taken on an empty stomach, consider ably less might produce blindness or even prove fatal.
