RUTH JAW WILL ATTEMPT FLIGHT
 ID OTHER SIDE

CLEVELAND, June 6.-Aviatrix Ruth Law, Americas celebrated woman aerial performer, has an- nounced that she will make an at tempt to fly across the Atlantic ocean, following the course taken by Harry Hawker, the Australian, between Newfoundland and Ireland.
 Miss Law is already making pre- parations for the flight, having come to this city for the purpose of purchasing 9 plane suited to her needs. There is a possibility that she will have one built especially for the transatlantic flight.
 It is the intention of the daring woman to start for the other side of the Atlantic just as soon as the necessary preparations can be made, but it is impossible at this time to state even approximately how soon that will be. There are many details to be looked after before a definite announcement can be made.

 0F BAD FAITH

PARIS, June 6.-The Matin. one of the leading newspapers of this city, is authority for the statement that President Wilson has denied the charge, made in Germany, that the treaty transmitted to the Ger man delegation is unlike the peace terms advocated by him prior to the convening of the world peace conference
 The American president asserts, says the Matin, that the treaty does not violate any of the Wilson prin- ciples, as expounded by him before the close of the war. He says fur ther that he would not hesitate u express contrary opinion, if he held one.
 The treaty as presented to the Germans, he declares, conforms n every way to the fourteen points upon which the Germans say they consented to sign the armistice.

 Earlier appeals for aid have al- ready been responded to by the government, the cruiser Marblehead now being enroute to Alaska waters with doctors, nurses and medical supplies, and it is possible that ad- ditional relief will be rushed to the Alaska coast as result of the report received by Supt. Lopp, who states that 9 considerable number of doctors and nurses will be re- quired to cope successfully with the situation, owing to the number of native settlements and their re- moteness from each other.

LAWMAKERS ARE AFTER BURLESON
 FOR LETTING GO

WASHINGTON, D. C., June G. There is considerable unfavorable criticism among members of Con- gress regarding the efforts of Post master General Burleson to escape responsibility for further super vision over the telegraph and tele- phone systems of the country The desire of the postmaster general to restore the systems to their owners, congressman charge, was prompted by fear that he would be unable to prevent general strike among the telephone and tele- graph operatives. He passed the buck, the lawmakers declare, when advised of growing discontent a. nong the workers, being anxious to shift the burden of settlement to the owners of the systems.
 The operators in ten Southeastern states quit their positions last night, and efforts are being made by leaders of the movement to extend the strike to other sections of the country with the object ultimately of involving the entire nation.
