]. S. Naval Guns Best
Of All Used in France
l4-Inch Rifles Helped Silence
German Monster That
Fired ON Paris

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE great
fo9iteen-inch American naval guns
which were placed on special railway
mounts and used on the Western front
during the closing days of the war
proved superior to any weapons of the
Allied armies, the House Naval Com
mittee was told to-day by Rear Ad-
miral c. P. Plunket who had charge of
the operation of the big rifles.
Five of the guns were in use when
the armistice was signed, Admiral
Plunket said. Two were sent up to
silence the long range gun which fired
into Paris from the Compigne Forest
and the others were mounted north of
Verdun and proved highly effective in
destroying the enemy's lines of COM
munication.
''In this connection l want to say
that these guns proved most success
full" Admiral Plunket said. "While
the wer ebeing used the enemy found
it impossible to transport supplies or
move troops. The guns had a range of
fortyone thousand yards and could be
fired from any desired point"

WARSAW, Jan. 5 (By The Associ-
ated Press The walters and janitors
of Warsaw, who are among the few hav-
ing steady work and good pay, have
gone on strike, and the house servants
are expected to follow their example.
The domestics even now are consenting
to work only if their mistress does
her share OF the labors of the house
hold, especially the dish washing and
similar services. The walters demand
IS per cent Of the profits Of the hotels
and the restaurants, while the cooks are
asking 25 per cent.
The janitors demand a ten-hour day,
with the front doors closed at o'clock
in the evening. AS the tenants have
no keys to the front doors of the apart
ment houses, they are obliged to stay in
doors through fear of being compelled
to pass the night in the streets.

pleases. There has been frequent firing
of rifles, but no casualties have been
reported.
The workers, the reports state have
adopted the habit when they feel in
need of money of demanding it from
the employers if they see them in the
streets or in surrounding houses, and
imprisoning them until they give what
is asked.
Demand 250 Marks Each
The employers have already made up
fund Of 100000 marks for the
laborers, but this does not satisfy them
and the workers are now demanding
250 marks each.
The reports say the men frequently
spend the day parading the streets
with red flags and listening to agi-

bowling, "Down with the Jcws!" and
"Down with the Mayor."

DemObilization
Crisis Becoming
Acute in Britain
Officers and Privates Chafe

By F. A. Wray

LONDON, Jan. 7.-The demobiiza-
tion difficulty in England is becoming
more acute and serious. The problem
is attended by difficulties some of
which are almost insuperablc
1t is a question of releasing an army
of 100000 or 100000 men, major
lty of whom believe they have first
claim upon demobilization, while at the
same time trying to prevent the flood
ing of industries and a return of unem-
ployment.
Undoubtedly the War Office scheme
of first demobilizing the pivotal men,
namely, those roughly essential in
the reorganization of industry and the
men for whose return employers are
clamoring sound in principle, but
as carried out it has been unsuccessful.
"The Evening News" which espe-
clally urges the soldiers to maintain
dlsclpllne, sums up the matter as fol-
lows:
"We are anxious to hasten the de-
mobilization, not to delay it, and red
tape buIeaucrats had better clearly un-
derstand that they are dealing with
an educated civilian army, not with a
drove of men who are content to see
promises broken
ut is clear that there must be a
swifter rehabilitation, more common
sense and less red tape, or, failing that,
we are certain before many days that
there will be graver troubles at the
military centres and at the ports.

ent discomfort? What is he going to
do about it ?"

Baker Issues Statement Re-

By Carter ield

WASHINGTON. Jan. An earnest t
wish that President Wilson would
pause in his reception long enough to
do something for our boys' in Russia
was read to the Senate o-day by SEN
ator Kenyon. of Iowa. in the course of
rather sharp debate on the Russian
situation.
The writer, said by Mr. Kenyon to
be a prominent Iowa woman, with one
son in France and the other nea,
Archangel commented that. as Mr.
Baker had said there had been no com
plants about the treatment of the men
near the White Sea- she presumed
other complaints, like her own. had
been, thrown into some War DEPART
ment wastebasket before reaching him.
The cables are so full of the ac-
counts of this ostentatious display
across the sea- observed Senator Ken
yon, that this poor mother can't get
word to her boy in the terrible SHOWS OF
Russia"
The attack on the Russian policy was
begun by Senator La Toilette. who had
read to the Senate an account of vjp-
orous fighting in which the 339th Reg
lment outfanked the Bolshevik forces
III battle fought knee deep in snow.
The great hardships undergone by the
American soldiers were stressed in tho
article, and Mr.. La Toilette smiled bit
terly as sentence declaring it to be
almost romance" was read.
La Toilette Demands Information
Senator La Toilette said he would
consider himself absolutely false to his
duty If he did not exhaust every eff
fort to find out by what right hun
dreds of young men from Wisconsin
and Michigan were sent upon, and con-
tlnued upon, such an errand while
there had been no declaration of war

La Toilette, "in the Foreign Relations
Committee. l am not member of that
committee and cannot enlighten the
Senator"
Senator Swanson, Democratic mem
Der of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee, interrupted to say that Chairman
Hitchcock had intended to speak TODAY
on the Russian situation, and the COM
mittee had intended to take up the
johnson resolution tomorrow, al
though the absence from the city of
many Senators who would attend the
Roosevelt funeral now made it impos-
sible. Mr. Swanson then defended the
Russian expedition. He said:
"The Allies reached the conclusion
that something must be done, and the
United States joined them, sending
about $500 men out of total Allied
force of about $4,000 to seize Arch
angel and vicinity, not only to prevent
the establishment of a German sub
marine base there, but to protect the
huge quantities of supplies sent there
for Russa's aid prior to the collapse.
There was no intention to 60 any
further than Archangel. To abandon
it, however, would have been to aban-
don to Germany these supplies of tre-
mendous value, the seizure of which by

PARIS, Jan. In the midst of all
the changes cf plans, the shifting of
dates aud the eXasperating uncertain
lies which so far have characterized
everything connected with the organi-
zation of the peace conference, it is
now evident that things are beginning
10 move.
Since the arrival of the American
deputation three full weeks have gone
by without any definite steps being
taken until now by any of the thirty
or more nations concerned to get their
representatives on the scene.
On Saturday deputation claiming
10 represent Poland arrived here and
was followed yesterday by the pan
Serbian delegation, headed by the Serb
ian Premier Pasitch, and including
Serbian, Croatian and Slovene repre-
sentatives.
Three Shiploads of British
Last night the enormous advance
guard of personnel attached to the
British delegation reached Paris. SO
large was the party, which includes
several hundred women stenographers
and secretaries, that three channel
steamers, until lately used as hospital
ships, had to be pressed into service.
Thirty automobiles and motor wagons
met the party at the station and made
several trips before all the baggage
could be moved.
The party was headed by Sir Eyre
Grove and Robert Van Sittart, of the
British Foreign Office. and represent
atives of the India Office. but it is
not believed, since no list has been
made public that any of the British
plenipotentiaries are included.
Arthur Balfour, the British Foreign
Secretary arrived in Paris last week,
hut is spending short holiday in the
Riviera while awaiting Lloyd George
and the other delegates. Edward
Benes the Czecho oSlovak Foreign Min
ister has been here several weeks, and
his colleague, Kramarcz, is expected
daily from Prague.
French Mission Still Secret
An inquiry made to-day brought an
official statement that no information
is yet available upon the composition
of the French delegation.
Greece and Serbia, the latter includ
u.g the Croatan and Slovene territory,
will have two delegates each. The
Greek delegates, it is now practically
settled. VIII be Venizelos and Foreign
Minister Polits. while the pan-Serbians
will have Pasitch and Trunmich as
spokesmen.

neighbor."
With such solemn compact of ma
tons, executed by all the great nations

danger OF any great war would be
pressed far into the realm of impos-
sibility.

great international agreement had
