TWO DEMOCRATS
CH0RUSB0RAH'S
LEAGUE ATTACK

New York, March 6.-Opposition in
varying degrees to the league of nations,
as outlined in the tentative covenant
brot home by President Wilson. was
voiced by Senators Borah of Idaho,
republican, and Reed, of Missouri, and
Thomas, of Colorado, democrats, in ad-
dresses before the Society of Arts and
Sciences here tonight.
Senator Borah declared that "those
who have wrecked Europe for three
hundred years have absolute control of
the proposed league Of nations and de-
nanded that the question of Americas
entry into the league be decided by a
plebiscite Of the people.
Senator Thomas urged that the form
alton of world league be postponed
until after the conclusion of peace.
Senator Reed declared the construc-
ton of the league was essentially auto
cratic" that the American people had
been misled regarding it. and that it was
"high time patriots aroused themselves
to the sudden and sinister purposes of
the undertaking"
Seantor Borah compared the position
of the United States to that of a group
of business men who arranged reorgani-
zation ''for the benefit of humanity" of
a big banking house which had failed.

Paris, March 6-(By Associated Press)
The French governments offensive
against the high cost of living, led by
NJ. Vllgrain, under secretary of the min
lstry Of provision. started this morning
when nine barracks were thrown open
to the public for the sale of foodstuffs
direct from the government to the con-

The barracks, which are named the
"Nilgrain Barracks" are situated in the
most congested and populous poorer dis
tricts of the city. A correspondent of
The Associated Press visited several of
them, outside Of which long lines of
women, hatless, with disheveled hair
blowing in the chilly breeze, and blue
from cold, awaited patiently their turn
to be served.
Price Signs Cheer Crowds.
The crowds were kept cheerful by the
sight of great large letters on the walls
of barracks reading:
Rice II cents a pound" "Beans 16"
Lard. 30" Ham. So shoulder. 50"
Fat bacon. 20. ""Breasts, boneless. CO."
At the barracks the correspondent
was informed by Inspector Pierre that
already 1900 persons had been served
up to noon and he expected to serve as
MAuy IN tIiP afternoon.
The people everywhere were neglect
ing vegetables and asking for fats, of
which every ope took the full quota al

"Stowaway" Was Food Mystery.
Mrs. Schmidt, manager of the bar

imported from the United States. and
she led the correspondent to a store

she pointed to case on which there was

Board of Managers SHALL Proceed With Project
in 90 Days, IF They Have Evolved
Workable Plan of Operation.

Helena, March 6.-After two con-
ference committees had failed to effect
a compromise upon the senate amend
ments to house bill 304, the Great Falls
terminal elevator measure, third con-

ed the bill back to the house, virtually
shorn of senate amendments and leaving
the matter of construction of the

ayers, virtually without limitation.
As agreed upon by the conference
committee and concurred in by the
house, the bill retains the 60-day
clause in which period the board
of managers shall proceed, but this
was qualified by the addition of
the words, providing they shall have
evolved a workable plan for the sue

Cases Amid Waste.
BY WARREN W. NOSES.

Helena, March 6.-Reiteraung state
ments in previous partial reports that
there was an extravagant duplication OF
effort and q consequent waste OF pub
lie funds in the conduct of the affairs
of the state and, taking up the office
of chancellor of the greater University OF
Montana and the livestock commission,
both departments coming in for con-
siderable praise, the joint state depart
ment investigation committee OF the
sixteenth legislative assembly. tonight,
presented its final report, which. in part,
follows:
To every unprejudiced citizen of this
state, the reports that this committee
has submitted must have demonstrated
that there exists wasteful. extrava-
CANT. cumbersome and inefficient system
of disposing of Montana's official bnsi-
ness. A chaos of regulations, orders and
statutes, an expensive duplication Of ef-
fort, serious waste of man-power and
an incxcusable expenditure of the peo-
pies money characterize the work per-
formed in many of the departments of
this government. Wearisome and un.
necessary would be the work of trans
mitting herein all the details which We
discovered during our brief and neces-
sarily superficial examination. The rec
ord, however. justifies the statements
we have made.

that have been made for

i was stated. today, in an author
ltatIve quarter, that the Italian govern
ment had caused intolerable conditions
by the blockade she has imposed against
the Jugo~ Slavic countries and which
operates also against the Czecho-
Slovaks. The blockade has not been
wholly effective, because the United
States has been able to deliver much
food where it was needed, but many
delays have been caused, resulting often
in holding up supplies, the need of
which was desperate.
Reports from Paris of the existence
of chaotic conditions because Of the
blockade have not been confirmed here,
suffering has been caused, directly at
tributable to the stand taken by Italy.
British and French Protest.
The British and French delegates at
Paris have been bitterly outspoken in
the supreme war council and the
supreme economic council in criticism of
the food blockade which the Italian
government is maintaining against Dali
malta, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Croatia and
Slovenia. The new democracies built out
Of the old Austrian empire are relied
upon by the entente as n protection
against the bolshevik wave. and the food
shortage in them is creating chaos.
While the American delegates are less
outspoken than the British and French,
they are concerned over the situation,
which is stopping sill American relief
work.
News from Paris that representatives
of Great Britain and France were out
spoken in their condemnation of the
attitude of Italy had been cabled to
the United States, but the action of the
American government in sending its
warning to Italy was taken before that
news came.
Italy Depends on U. S. for Food.
No reply has yet been made by the
Italian government.
Italy has been depending in large
measure on the United States for food
stuffs. The disintegration Of Russia and
the depredations of the central powers
in Rumania cut off the sources of wheat.
so that in 1913 this country shipped
Italy 100000 bushels and 3.OOO. 900
barrels of flour This cereal ration was
supplemented by 100000 bushels of
corn.
Italy also had looked to the United
States for meat, taking 46,000,0OO
pounds of canned beef, 9,OOO,OOO pounds
of fresh beef. 1s,OOO,OOO pounds of bacon
and 1,OOO,OOO pounds of lard last year.
Other purchases from this country
included 2O,OOO,0OO pounds of salmon
and 100000 pounds of sugar.
Early in February an Italian military
mission penetrated Jugo-Slav- populated
territory at Laibach and settled in the
town. The Jugo- Slavs feel that since
their union with Serbia they are not
the enemies of Italy and they resent
the occupation of Fiume and the Dali
matian coast by the Italian army. Con-
sequently. they forced the Italian mis-
sion to leave Laibach on February s.
The Italians retorted by establishing a
food blockade against all Jugo-Slav ter
rtory. This blockade also has affected |
the American relief work for both |
Bohemia and Moravia.
