AUSTRALIAN WAGES

In Australia recently the Workers
Union demanded an increase from $2A3
to $2.75 q day, and the minister of rail-
ways said he would see what he could do.
What railroad employee in this country
would work for $2.75 day even before
the administration sold out to the Broth
erhoods? The bricklayers union of New
South Wales, about the same time, made
a demand for $4.13. They had been get
ting $3.40. The Master Builders associa-
ton refused to grant the increase. Are
there any bricklayers in the United States
today who work for Sab? Hardly! Var
lous other lines of operatives in Austral-
Ia have asked for increases of wages, few
II any OF them, requesting wages more
than 80 per cent of the scales prevalent
In this country, and the disparity in wag-
es paid in manufacturing industries, in
Australia and in the United States, is ev-

MEXICO CITY, Aug 14.-No comment

The American note and the Mexican

without any editorial expressions that
might be construed as at all represent

aroused much interest in all quarters. as
the possibility of intervention in Mexico
has been widely discussed here in many
circles for weeks.
The newspapers were bought freely by
the people. Government officials did not
discuss the subject. The Foreign Office
after giving out the texts of the Ameri-

was nothing else for publication. Presi-

from calling attention to the obvious fact
that drug addiction. as a cause of sick

CATHOLICS EAT MEAT TO-DAY.
Feast of Assumption Brings Ex-
emption From Friday Rule.

The strict rule of the Roman Catholic
Church requiring the faithful to abstain
from the use of flesh meat on Friday
is waived to-day, the reason being that
to-day is the Feast OF the Assumption of
the Blessed Virgin Mary, a holy day OF
obligation.
Up to about eight years ago holy days
OF obligation falling on Fridays carried
no exemption from the use OF flesh meat,
but the reigning Pope at the time issued
a decree authorizing the use OF meat on
Fridays which fell on holy days The
present Pope, Benedict XIV. has not seen
Mt to nullify this decree. with the result
that to-day Roman Catholics OF Greater
New York will be permitted the unusual
liberty Of eating meat. Announcement
OF this exemption was made from the
affairs of all the Catholic churches in the
New York archdiocese and the Brooklyn
diocese last Sunday.
But in accordance with the conditions
OF the decree of the late Pope Plus the
faithful were required to abstain from
the use Of flesh meat yesterday, the
vigil of the Feast of the Assumption Of
the Blessed Virgin.

ARcHANGEL. Aug. 10 (delayed) The
successful offensive OF British and Rus
sian troops aolng the Dvina southeast OF
Tulgas on August 10 resulted in the
capture OF 500 prisoners. according to
reports reaching here. 1t is believed that
no Soviet troops remain north'of Katlas
Tho allied casualties in the fighting. 1t is
indicated, were light. .us
The attack was undertaken in order
to stiffen the morale OF the young Rus
sian troops as agitators recently had
been busy among them. Elaborate plans
were worked out and the Bolsheviki were
unaware of the impending attack.
The allied troops, after marching
through the forests on 10th banks of the
river and capturing enemy patrols. took
up positions in the rear of the enemy
and on his tanks. A hurricane OF shell
fire from Russian and British batteries
was the first the enemy knew of the
presence Of the AngloRussisn troops
Gunboats and motor launches armed
with machine guns oooperated effec-
lively.
After the enemy had been surrounded
the British troops charged with the bay
onet and many of the Bolshevlki were
killed. Those of the Soviet force who
were not killed or captured were dis

PARIs, Aug. 14.-Despatches received
here from Vienna state that the Ruman-
ians are preparing to leave Budapest on
account of the reiterated demand of the
Supreme Council OF the Peace Confer
ence In Parts. The official reply OF the
Rumaniaf Government to this demand
has been received and to-day was de-
livefed TO the council. which considered
1t this afternoon, but It's tenor has not
been divulged.
In the meantime the Hungarian
trouble. while more promising as. re-
CARDS the Rumanians, is developing new
difficulties. Austria has asked to be al
lowed to occupy the territory in west
ern Hungary allotted to her In the pend
l.g treaty, but 1t appears that Ruman-
IAN Troops already have encroached
upon that district and new complica-
lions may set in. Premier Renner has
askei the Peace Conference to permit
Austrian troops to go into this territory,
and the granting OF this request IL ad-
vised by the experts, who foresee
troubles II the Rumanians take posses
sion.
The Czecho-Sloval<s intend to make
a similar request for the occupation by
their troops of the two Danubian bridge
heads given to them by the Austrian
treaty. The Rumanians also are on the
verge OF occupying these points.
Jugo- Slavia. not to be behind in the
game, sent troops yesterday to take
possession OF the territory east of the
Muir River in Austria allotted TO her
by the pending treaty. Austrian troops
in that region were disarmed and guns
and munitions seized. 1t is stated that
the advance will continue until the new
Jugo-Slav frontier in Hungary Is
reached.
The contradictory angles of the queer
hungarian situation gradually are COM
ing to light 1t Is evident now that
the four Generals OF the Allies who
constitute the mission have no plenary
powers; they cannot issue orders ex-
cept those authorized by the Peace Con-
ference. yet they were sent to Budapest
to regulate" tho situation.
The, American delegates here fatty
denied to-day reports that the Ameri-
can attitude had changed in regard TO

GENEVA. Aug. IS (delayed) The Ru-

shevlsm at Budapest. decided to with
draw the Rumanian troops from Buda-
pest because of adverse criticism by the
foreign press, according to a statement

An influential delegation OF the Mag
var authorities, however. begged the Ru-
man!an General TO remain until order
had been reestablishod. the statement
says. ''as II was considered that Arch
duke Joseph's reign would only be tenn
porary, because both the Austrians and
Hungarians disapproved of the return of
the monarchy under whatever guise."
DR.. Karl Renner. head OF the Austrian
peace delegation, who passed through
Basic yesterday on his return to st.
German, said that the temperance of
a Hspsburg at the head OF the Hunga-
rian Government had caused the great
est indignation at Vienna. Several meet
ings of protest against a restoration of
the monarchy either in Hungary or Aus
tria have been held in the Austrian capi-
tai, he asserted.

BRITISH MILITARY
PLANS INDICATED
Rhine Force Will Be Cut to
5000, With Volunteer
Army at Home.

LONDON, Aug. 14.-Tha statement OF
Winston Churchill. Minister of War, that
the British army of occupation on the
Rhine soon would be reduced to 5000
men has brought out some definite fig-
ures as to what Great Britain intends
to maintain in the way of military
establishment
According to authoritative informa-
ton, the policy of the Government is to
recruiting for which already has reached
100000. These men will be used to
form thirty-one cavalry regiments. 254
batteries of artillery and l54 battallons
of infantry. which will constitute the de-
fensive force of the British Empire at
the beginning of 1920.
This latest decision regarding the re-
duction of the army on the Rhine means
that 1900 men will return to England
between this time and the end OF Octo-
Der. The reason for such a large re-
duction lies in the fact that the work Of
cleaning up the devastated regions Of
France and Belgium has proceeded more
rapidly than was expected and also that
the officials of the Allies are convinced
that Germany intends to carry out the
peace terms in good faith.
British and Americah officials who
made a tour of the German arsenals re-

bringing 10000 men back to England
from that theatre. All the British troops
in Russia will have been evacuated by
December /, 1t is hoped. The initial
movement out of Archangel and that
district will begin within the next two
weeks.
Great Britain to-day has 100. 900 SOL
diers guarding 100000 informed German
prisoners In England. While the au-
thorities are anxious to repatr!ate these
men II would have the effect OF throwing
large numbers OF service men back into
Germany, with the accompanying po-
tential danger of giving the German
Government an excuse for a slower de-
mobilization to the figures OF the peace
terms.
Great Britain to-day has 1900, 900
men under arms in various parts OF the
world.

Swanson Denies Aiding Plan.

Senator Swanson (Va) was looked on
as engineer of the Democratic forces to
line up enough Republicans to insure
with die Democrats the adoption of mod
crate reservations and then ratification.
but he declared there was no such thing
as organizing such a bloc at present.
Mr.. Lodge, he pointed put has never put
on paper a formulation of the reserva-
tons that would satisfy him.
Mr.. Swanson was part 'cularly pressed
as to Whether the Democrats had reached
the point where they We're ready TO give
up their slogan of ratification without
modification and accept reservations.
His answer was that the Presidei0 had
never said he would accept such set
tlement. Instead, in his conferences
with Republican Senators he had con-
stantly pointed out the difficulties of
such course. Since seeing and talking
with many Republicans and learning
their attitude Mr.. Swanson suggested
the President may have been considering
what concession could be made in the
matter OF reservations, and he believed
4 decision might be reached soon.
Mr. Swanson pointed out, however,
