why smith Wa. Discharged.

Other pilots asserted that Pilot Smith
was ready to set out with the air mail
on Tuesday morning in one of the
smaller machines, but was not permitted
to use II. He declined to take one of
the larger ships" and his dismissal fol-
lowed.
Before leaving Superintendent Stanton
expressed the opinion that all difficult
ties would be smoothed out to-day in the
office OF Mr. Praeger. and that from now
on the mail will leave on schedule. He
would not say what message he had
sent his chief which resulted in his
agreeing to conference. 1t is known,
however. that he had a long talk with
the two dismissed pilots. If the Post
Office authorities take these two men
back into service all talk of strike will,
probably blow over, for II was the re-
instatemeht of these two pilots that was
demanded when the men stopped work
on Thursday
At o'clock this morning Pilot Rid
dick will leave with the Washington
mail. while at the same time "SIim"
Lewis will hop to Belefonte with the
Chicago and Western mail In addition
to sending Pilot Stevens to Bellefonte
to announce that the strike was off tenn
porarlly. the flyers sent the following
message:

viewed by Mr.. Praeger tomorrow. The

confer with you and representative of
pilots. For the purpose of harmony
would suggest that some pilot not in
volved in the controversy of July 22 be
selected by the men"
The controversy of July 22" resulted
In the discharge OF two pilots, Leon
Smith and Z. Hamilton, who refused to
take out the mail in the heavy machines
because of the thick fog and rain. After
talk among themselves the air mall
men picked Pilot Anglin to present their
side Of the case. It was announced also
that an attorney from Bellefonte, the
first stop OF the New York-Chicago route,
would go to Washington to aid Anglin.
Tie Bellefonte attorney is interested in
the mail pilots and volunteered his SER
vices
Pilot Lee. one of the discharged men,
Will also go to Washington. Whether
he Will be seen by Mr.. Praeger is not
known. but he declared last night that
the Government was paying his fare to
the capital.
I'VE are all hopeful that a satisfactory
agreement can be reached" he said but
we are not certain that the controversy
is closed. We all want to serve the
Post once Department, but do not want
to jeopardize our lives needlessly and
also the lives of others under us by fly
ing under decidedly adverse conditions.
The men all prefer to operate the lighter
machines, but the Government officials
have frequently ordered otherwise. The
men, believe. are the best judges of the
machines they should operate and We
hope that we can convince the DEPART
ment officials of this"

TIEUP NOT COMPLETE
BLIMp's DROP is BLAMED

No mail left New York by air yes
terday for Washington or Chicago.
Late yesterday afternoon. however,
the striking aviators agreed to go back
to their planes to-day and work until
conference has been held in WASH
ington between Otto Praeger. Second
Assistant Postmaster General, and
representatives of the pilots.
The decision to go back to work
temporarily at least came after a day
of negotiations between Supt. Stanton
Of the Eastern division Of the Post
Office and the striking pilots. Mr..
Stanton and the pilots conferred ami
cably, for he himself is a pilot and un-
derstands their grievances. After as
suring that mail would be carried to-
morrow Supt. Stanton hoped into a
plane at Belmont Park and whizzed
away to Washington, handling the
stick" himself. About the same time
Pilot Stevens also got aboard a plane
and flew over to Beliefonte, Pa, to tell
the boys there the news.
The armistice came after Assistant
Postmaster General Praeger had shown
more willingness to listen to the griev-
ances OF the men, who object to flying in
bad weather in large machines of a
heavy type and who decline to jeopardize
their lives when they consider the
weather is too bad to make safe
flight likely. The strike came to a tenn
porary end after Mr.. Stanton had ex-
hibited to the pilots the following tele-
gram from Mr.. Praeger. sent In response
to one of his own. aa

majority of those in attendance are

made to see that all who come under
the law are enrolled which will prob
ably add to the number attending at
present. This work will be done by
Louis f. Battey, principal Of the
school.
The school was Immediately organ
lied and courses of study mapped out
SO that now everything is running
smoothly. About all Of the national

read, or write the English language.
These pupils are in a small minority,
but there is larger number who are
deficient in elementary English.

The ultimate objects of the Asso-
citation, to be carried out with the CO.
operation of its members and with the
funds subscribed by them, are stated
by the Hon. Elihu Root, member of
the National Executive Committee, as
follows:
1.-The purposes to which the money
obtained from membership fees and
subscriptions is to be applied have
been definitely determined by the Ma
tional Committee of the Roosevelt
Memorial Association. The commit
tee .esolved upon three definite OBJ
jects. They are:
First, to improve the land that has
been given at Oyster Bay for Roose-
yelt Memorial Park.
Second, to erect monumental
n, emorial in Washington which will
rank with the Washington monument
and the Lincoln memorial. The form
which this memorial will take cannot
be now determined; this must rest
largely with the architects and sculp-
tors, who will be called upon to de-
sign the most appropriate and digni-
fed monument that can be built and
with the National Fine Arts Commits
sion that under the law must approve
the design and determine its site.
Third, the establishment of a
Roosevelt Society or Foundation to
carry on Colonel Roosevelt's spirit of
Americanism and perpetuate and keep
alive the uncompromising patriotism
of which he was SO essentially the ex-
ponent"

There remains to US great duty Of

The cotton manufactures were considered the most important in Germany and the Woolen manufactures also of consid eraole importance. Germany, bv the Peace Treaty, cedes to France the f1111 ownership of the coal mines of inc Saar Basin, which extends from +be frontier of Lorraine as far north as | St. Wendell, including on the west tho valley of the Saar as far as SaarhoIz- bach and on the east the town cf HonDberg.

 The chief changes in Italian terri tory consist of the addition of certain territory formerly the southwest part of Austria and including the impor- tant port of Trieste; also a fringe of islands and main land coast on the eastern frontage of the Adriatic, for merly a part of Hungary, but having a large Italian population. The de- tails of the area or population gained by Italy are not as yet sufficiently de- ternined to render possible an exact statement, though apparently the ter ritory added approximates Is, GOO square miles, with a population of 2.O0O, 900. Late in 1919, the former Hungarian port of Plume, claimed by Jugo- o-Slavoa, was occupied by a mil itary. force composed of Italians but the Italian Government stated that the action was not by its authority This unauthorized occupation of Plume was subsequently, extended to adjacent towns and land areas largely occupied by people of Italian stock; the entire question as to the future control of this area being still un- determined.
 The importance to Italy of the new ly added territory from Austria and Hungary lies largely in the control which it gives her of the Adriatic frontage at the head of that gulf and a fringe of islands. and mainland along its eastern shore.
