In the four months beginning in
August and ending November 1918,
the department supplied III, ,30S
uorkmen and 1924 workwomen, a
total of 1929, to the war industries
in the state, which at the time were
producing sixty per cent. of the war
supplies for the Army on foreign
soil.

CONGRESS OF PARIS
TURNS TO LEAGUE
[Continued from First Pagc.1

tribunal with absolutely binding
powers is not practical at present.
'"The creation of non-rigid inter-
national machinery by which n
council, by eXerting influence toward
concilliation, may work, will be the
main strength of future peacemak-
crs,' no said. such a body must,
however. possess at least sufficient
internationally guaranteed power to
be able to prevent surprise declara-
tions of war and to compel disput-
ants TO accept delay, during which
forces of civilization may have time
to try TO avert a calamity.
THE interdependence of modern
states has become so great that no
nation can control its own affairs en-
tirely without regard to the effects
of its actions on other nations. 1t is
easy to see that in future certain
cities located on waterways will have
to be under international control.
which will guarantee free access to
them. Some of the new states form
cd out of the Austro- Hungarian en-
pire. for example, cannot possibly
have independent access to the sea.
Switzerland is, according TO news
paper dispatches, considering a plan,
which will give her way to reach
tidewater.
Certain nations have a strong in
terest in having free access to Sa-
loniki. but it is out of the question
for them to plan possession of that
port. The most important example
of this kind, of course, is that of the
Dardanelles and the Bosphorus.
Delay which can give oppor-
tunity for discussion and concilia-
ton will be the main resources of
the league in dealing with disputes
in which the vital interests of great
nations are involved. AS in the peace
congress, the ultimate decision must
rest with the great powers, since,
as last resort, the league can en-
force its decisions only by the mill
tary power which will always be pos
sessed by the great nations.
In general, the power on which
the league must mainly rely will be
public opinion, and it is for this rea
son that the power imposing delay
on disputants is so important"
New states formed out of the
wreck of the Austro- Hungarian
monarchy, Lord Robert said, could
be admitted to the league without
difficulty as soon as settled govern
ments were established.

New York, Jan, 2S.-Price move

set in for rails, st. Pauls and other

Paris. Jan. 2S.-Proposals for the
union of the factions of distracted
Russia and asking them TO come in
to the Peace Conference, are to-day
on their way to the various parties
This is the result of the action taken
yesterday when the Supreme War
Council of the great power adopted
a proposition brought forward by
President Wilson.
This proposal asks that all the
Russian factions, including the
Bolshevists, TO meet the allied and
associated governments at Princes
Island, in the Sea Marmora, on Feb
ruary 15, the contending factions
mean time declaring a truce and
suspending all military operations.
The joint commission of the asso-
ciated governments will be an
nounced as soon as the Russian
factions accept the proposal. The
Russian commission will proceed to
the meeting place. probably on a
warship, by way of the Black sea
and the Bosphorus.
Pcrshing Called 10 Paris
General John ]. Pershing. the
American commander in chief, has
been called to Paris, and it is eX-
pected that he will be the military
tation of the joint commission.
Aside from the importance of the
conclusions reached it was espe-
cially notable as being the first time
that the voice of the United states
had taken the direction in the con-
cert of European powers on the
most serious European question now
presented. There was added signi-
,ficance in the fact that an American
President in person had taken lead
ership in the council made up chief
ly of European statesmen, and had
pointed a way which they had unani-
mously adopted.
The final result came after three
days of continuous discussion of
Russia, which did not crystalize un-
til the final hours, when President
Wilson presented in writing the plan
he had elaborated.
Little Opposition
There was little opposition. and
this was based mainly on doubts as
10 whether the proposition would be
accepted.

want she said.
Questioned as TO the attitude of
the Red Cross Motor Messenger
Service on the proposition, Mrs. S.
+. Dunkle, captain, and one of the
most popular Red Cross workers in
the city. said: Surely it is an ex-
.cellent idea. Unofficially I will say
that l have not the slightest doubt
that the members of the Red Cross
motor service will be very glad to
assist in any way possible"
Married women and young women
who have been prominent in war
work should be in charge of the can
teen, according TO the plan sug-
gested. The canteens under such
auspices would become social centers
where motion pictures could be
moderate admission prices. Each
canteen would have a night nursery
attached, where young children
would be cared for. when the sa :
looms close men will have TO go some
where say the people who favor
the plan. The church ought to
provide places where men and
women can enjoy themselves under
the Christian auspices"

COUNCIL ADOPTS
WILSON PLAN TO
UNITE RUSSIANS
Supreme War Board Asks All Factions to Meet Allies
at Princes Island on February IS and Quit
Fighting in the Meantime

In reply it was pointed out that
the contending factions were well
nigh at the end of their resources
and that their needs likely would
lead them at last-to a combined ap-
peal to the associated powers.
Besides the definite proposal as
given in the communique. the joint
commission of the associated pow
ers will lay down four conditions
Indispensable in bringing about an
adjournm ent; first. peace at all
points; second, removal of all ecopo-
mic barriers which restrain the free
circulation or exchange of food and
commoditits between the factional
zones and the outside world: third,
general elections on a representative
basis: and, fourth. some adequate
arrangements for the payment OF
debts.
Even if eventually the proposal
is not accepted, members OF the
council expressed the view that their
proposition was before the world
and that it would pave the way for
action had brought about.
The Princes Islands were chosen
for the eventful meeting, because
they are outside the zone of any OF
the contending factions. They are
diSO dlllSQ anu al AiS'
open TO be obnoxious TO any of the
factions. as would be other points
having better material facilities for
the meeting.
February Is was designated as
the time of the meeting so as TO
give time for representatives TO
come from the remotest sections of
ties.
Considering Poland
Besides the decisive action taken
with regard to Russia the council
to-day also provided a joint commits
sion of two each from the United
States, Great Britain, France and

ton of the entire military, economic
and political situation of Poland.

ference was announced for next
Saturday. when the plans of Presi-
dent Wilson and David Lloyd
George, the British prime minister,
dealing with a league of nations

John 4. McSparran and others prom
inent in grange affairs spent some
time with the Governor discussing
the proposition OF some state aid for
rural roads. Governor Sproul eN-
pressed the opinion that ultimately
some plan could be devised whereby
liked and definite aid could be given
10 rural districts for roads just as
money for education is distributed.
