SENATORS WILL
VISIT WILSON
President Grants Committees
Request to Discuss Treaty
Publicly"
MEETING IN WHITE HOUSE
Pro-Leaguers' Movement to
End Hearings and Rush
Ratification Collapses.
MEETING IN WHITE HOUSE
special Despatch TO TIE sux.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-Taking the
President at his word that he is willing
and anxious to lay before the Senate
details of what really took place in
Paris during the formation of the
peace treaty and the League of Ma
tions scheme, the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee voted to-day to con-
fer with President Wilson in the White
House.
Senator Johnson (Cal) suggested
that the President be visited by the
committee. The committees efforts to
get the real facts of what went on in
Paris for the most part have been a
failure. The committees action comes
after two appearances OF the Secretary
OF State before it and the refusal of
the President to transmit to the SEN
ate a great deal of essential detail of
the proceedings of the Peace Confer
ence.
However, in the letter despatched to
the White House by Senator Lodge
(Massl, chairman of the committee,
the Senator specified that the confer
ence between the President and the
committee was to be public" in con-
trast to the secret reception given the
committee last winter, which Senator
Borah Idaho) refused to attend be-
cause of the secrecy imposed.
Wilson Agrees to Publicity.
At the White House a statement
was issued tonight saying that Pres
itlent 0wilson iIad~accepted.9 the sug-
gestion embodied in the letter of Sem
ator Lodge. and that the conference
would be held next Tuesday morning
in the White House. In making the
announcement Secretary Tumulty did
not make public the text of Senator
Lodges letter, which. through a sense
of delicacy. Senator Lodge, as chair
man of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. had withheld from the press
Until after the reply of the President.
The public character of the confer
ence between the President and the
Committee, II is understood, refers to
the discussions which will take place
in the course of the interchange of
views. There is no intention to admit
the public or the press to the actual
conference and therefore the express
sion publicity in Mr.. Tumulty's an
Eouncement must be taken as refer
ring to the public character OF the dis
cussion. There will be no secrecy ban
on the conference itself. The discus
sion will not be privileged and Sem
ators will be entitled TO make what
ever use they choose in or out of de-
bate Of the enlightenment which they
are to receive from the President.
At the same time he made the an
nouncement of the Presidents accept
ance of the committees suggestion
Mr.. Tumulty let 1t be known that the
request for information as to Ayticles
1ls and 120 Of the treaty under which
the disposition Is made of the German
colonies would not Immediately be
honored.

and an 8 Hour Day.
10 p. C. RAISE SPURNED1
Amalgamated to Meet To-
night and Present It's De-
mands Tomorrow.
HYLAN'S SNUB RESENTED
Judge Mayer Finds Union in
Majority in b. r. II. and
Orders Recognition.
HYLAN's sNUB RESENTED

Dissatisfied with the 10 per cent
wage increase just granted to them
officials of the Brotherhood of Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company EN-
ployees declared last night that their
organization is prepared to paralyze
the transit systems with a general
strike.
AS these men expressed it, the
trouble cannot be averted unless pub
lie officials authorize a fare increase
sufficient to enable the company to
pay it's employees approximately so
per cent. more than they are getting
now.
The brotherhood which makes this
strike threat is the organization sane
toned by the Interborough officials. the
policy of which always has been to CO.
operate with the company and the ex-
penses of which always have been paid
by the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company.
At the same time the Amalgamated
Employees. which has been trying to pull
men away from the Brotherhood and call
strike similar to the one which 1t d.
rected in Brooklyn, announced yesterday
that its members will meet tonight in
Lyceum Hall, Third avenue and Eighty
sixth street. for the purpose of framing
an ultimatum which they viii submit to
the company on Saturday.
u. n. r. Men Win Recognition.
Members of the Amalgamated were
eiated over the fact that Federal Judge
julius VI. Mayer announced yesterday
that both he and Public Service Com
missioner Lewis Nixon were satisfied
that the union had more than so per
cent. OF the Brooklyn Rapid Transit em1
ployees on its membership rolls on Au-
gust s, ard directed the company to en-
ter into arbitration negotiations at once
in accordance with the agreement made
upon the settlement of the Brooklyn
strike.
AS matters stood last night the Inter
borough and other affiliated lines ap-
peared to be caught between two strike
perils. The Amalgamated was threat
ening immediate action, officials OF the
Brotherhood were declaring that the
Amalgamated should keep its hands OF
and at the same time were announcing
plans for a strike of their own.
Whether the Amalgamated can tie up
the system completely, with the Brother
hood giving 1t battle, cannot be known
until a test Is made, for no outsider
knows just how many men are enrolled
with the so-called 'outside organization
That the Brotherhood could tie up the
lines there seems little question, for IL
contains on its rolls practically every
employee of the company that Is eligible
10 membership. --
Its members boasted yesterday that
they could make the whole city walk"
IL they were to walk out. and NJ. j.
Mangan. secretary of the brotherhood.
said to reporters: We'll make even
Red Mike walk"

Belgium Wants Dutch Flanders

Lothrop Stoddard in the Worlds Work.
 The broad river Schelde winds it's way through westefn Belgium and finally emp ties into the North sea as wide estuary studded with islands. Some distance in- land above this estuary but with water deep enough to float the largest ocean steamships, lies the great port of Ant werp. Antwerp is marked out by nature as the sea- gate to the whole Belgian area, and f1ourished during the middle ages. But in the sixteenth century came the re- volt of the Dutch against Spain, who then owned both Belgium and Holland. The inhabitants of the lower Schelde estuary, who had always felt themselves to be part of the Dutch region to the north rather than the Belgian region to the east and south, joined the revolt and freec from Spanish rule not merely the islands, but also the mainland fringe along the southern bank of the lower Schelde-the district known as Dutch Flanders. After nearly a century of war, Holland forced Spain to recognize her independence in 164S and. by one of the clauses of the treaty, Spain recognized Hollands right to close the Schelde to navigation, thus making. Antwerp an inland town. The Vienna congress of 1915 laid down the prtn- ciple that navigable rivers which flowed through more than one country should be free for the merchant shipping of the in land nations.

 The second specification against the three men charged that they stole and carried away a Lexington car, the prop erty of Thomas Miles of Anniston.
 The charges against the three soldiers grew put of one of the most sensational escapes recorded during the existence of Camp Mcclellan. Privates Heron and Jordan were inmates of the camp stock ade last November and Private Santanna was acting as mess sergeant for the stockade company The officers charge that the three men entered into con spiracy to desert the service. It was charged that Private Santanna entered the stockade and removed the prisoners, presumably with proper authority. The three men were then said to have stolen three officers uniforms and came to An niston, hired car to take them to Gods den, tier up the driver near f2eid's mill, robbed him of all his money and went their way in his new Lexington car
 Military police gave chase and captured them at Knoxville and returned the trio to Camp Mcclellan for trial

COOTTES HAD STRIPES

Anniston, April S.-(Special) )-Delousing process for the members of Company M. 167th infantry, and everybody dressed up once more and enjoying the privilege of sleeping between sheets is making the Anniston and Oxford boys now with the army of occupation complain of their present inactivity. according to a lengthy letter written by Capt. Otho w. Hum phries
 Captain Humphries writes that the To- cal soldiers now in Germany had de- veloped such a strong friendship for the "cootie," they are lonesome now with out him. The Oxford officer says that he had couple of them which wore two service stripes, and that they became so attached to him they wouldn't leave. Since the fighting has been stopped and the local men are living like folks and getting ready to come home they feel like something has been lost, according to the way Captain Humphries tells the story.
 Captain Humphries gives a very inter- esting description of the fighting which has been done by the Calhoun county men under his command. Lieut.. James Driver and Lieutenant Eichelberger are still on duty with the company, and at the time the officers letter was written the of- ficers and men were getting ready to come home.
