Treaty Explicit On Point.


Article 80 of the Versailles treaty
reads:
Germany acknowledges and will re.
spect strictly the independence Of Aus
tria, within the frontiers which may
be fixed in a treaty between that State
and the principal allied and associated
powers; she agrees that this indie
pendence shall be inalienable, except
with the consent of the council of the
League of Nations"
The text of the paragraph in the
German Constitution referred to has
not been received in this country. 1t
appears, however, that the clause ap-
piled to all territories of German
speaking peoples in Europe and there
fore to German Austria, with the ef-
feet of providing that Austria might
have a certain number of representa-
tives in the German Parliament, pro
portionate to the Austrian population.

TEUToNs GIVEN IA DAYS

Paris.-The Supreme Council of the
Peace Conference decided to send "A
note in forceful terms to the German
Government pointing out the contra
diction with the Versailles treaty Of
the provision in the new German con-
stitution providing for the representa-
ton of Austria in the German Reichs-
rath.
The council demands the suppress
sion of the article within fortnight,
declaring that otherwise the Allies will
be compelled to undertake a further
occupation of the left bank Of the
Rhine.
The article objected to is article 81
Of the German Constitution as in con-
fiict with article 80 Of the German
peace treaty forbidding German inter-
ference in Austrian affairs.
The text of the note to Germany was
handed to the German delegation at
Versailles this afternoon and will be
made public tomorrow.

'REDEIELD TO
QUIT NOV. |
Secretary Of Commerce VIII
Resume Private Business
DENIES, FRICTION RUMoRs
He And Hines, However, CIashed
Over Steel Prices And ResIg-
nation Has Been
Expected.

Westinghouse William G. Redfield,
Secretary of Commerce, has rendered
his resignation to President Wilson,
and it has been accepted, effective No
gember /.
Secretary Redfeld, in announcing
his resignation, said he found it neces-
sary to give immediate attention to
personal business affairs, adding that
he was anxious to return to private
life, after spending more than eight
years in Washington.
The Secretary said he wrote Presi-
dent Wilson on August / asking him
TO accept his resignation as of October
Is. When he found the President was
to be away on his speaking tour dur.
ing September, however, he agreed
to remain until the last of October.
Announcement of Mr. Redfield's res
'gnation did not come as surprise.
Since his disagreement with Director
General of Railroads Hines regarding
prices for steel several months ago it
lad been almost common gossip that
he contemplated early retirement from
the Presidents Cabinet.
President Wilson was in Europe
when MI. Redfield, with the approval
If the Executive, set up board to
agree upon fair prices for necessities
with view to stimulating production.
Mr.. Hines refused to accept the price
for steel agreed upon between the
board and the industry, contending
that it was too high. The controversy
finally was referred to the President
at Paris. No formal announcement of
the result was made, but soon after
ward the board was dissolved and
Mr.. Hines proceeded to buy steel for
the Railroad Administration in the
open market on competitive bids.
Mr.. Redfeld, however, denied that
his resignation was the result of fric-
ton between himself and other Ad-
ministration officials.
My resignation" he said, sis not
the result of any quarrel, disagree
ment, chagrin or any other unpleasant
occurrence, but is caused solely and
entirely by my desire to return to
business and give my attention once
more to my personal affairs, which for
more than eight years have been sub
ordinated to the public interests"

10 SOLDIERS WERE EXECUTED.
one-fifth OF The courts-MartiaI Were
For Officers.

Paris.-Nine soldiers of the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Force were hanged
and one was shot for criminal offenses
during the war, it was revealed at the
investigation of American Expedition
AIRY Force courts-martial by the Con.
gressional committee inquiring into
war expenditures.
Two of the hangings were for muir.
der, the investigation brought out.
Seven men were hanged for criminal
assault, of whom six were negroes.
There was single execution for de.
sertion.
Murder trials totaled 10, resulting
in 81 convictions. One-afth of all
the general courts-martial were Off
GERS and the rest enlisted men and
welfare workers. Most of the officers
were charged with drunkenness and
disorderly conduct. Convictions re-
suited in 81 per cent Of the officers
cases which went to trial. Seventy.
seven per cent of the men tried by
general courts-martial were found
guilty.
Only one conscientious objector was
tried in the American Expeditionary
Force.
The investigation failed to establish
that officers had received more lenient
treatment than enlisted men in the
American Expeditionary Force courts
martial.

100000 DIVORCES
IN PRESENT YEAR
Something Must-Be Done Says
Justice Hoffman
he WANTS FAMILY COURT
Marriage AS An institution, He De-
eIares, Is Endangered In America
Critics Certain Young
Z: Lawyers.

Boston, Mass.-The establishment of
"family courts to meet the menace
10 the marriage relation presented by
the divorce evil was recommended by
Chief Justice Charles w. Hoffman, Of
the Court of Domestic Relations, at
Cincinnati, O., in an address before
the American Institute of Criminal
Law and Criminology, in session here
In connection with the annual meeting
Of the American Bar Association.
Marriage as an institution is en-
dangered in America today through
the divorce evil, and the only way to
save it is by the establishment of fam
lily courts in which social evidence,
AS distinguished from legal, will be
considered" Judge Hoffman said.
There will be more than 100000
divorce cases fled before the courts
OF land this year and something must
be done to save our family life, the
greatest civilizing force we have" he
continued. 1.-THE family court should
be an extension of the principle upon
which Juvenile courts are founded.
sIt will be possible under this sys-
tenn to correlate the work of the
Juvenile and divorce divisions of the
court and obtain reliable scientific
data. This is the final purpose of
the family court, and it will be through
the facts developed that the requisite
knowledge and information necessary
FOR the regulation of marriage and di-
yorce will be acquired. No scientific
law has ever been made on the subject
OF divorce. Divorces are granted for
certain causes, but no effort is maze
10 classify basic causes"
Elihu Root, former secretary of
state, speaking before the judicial
section OF the Bar Association, said
he favored wiping out the business
OF attempting to bring about justice
by statute" and that he believed it
best ITO leave it to the judge to do
Justice
"A few meager rules embodying the
fundamental principles are all that is
necessary" he added. Zone Of the
great troubles with legislation today
Is that it does not permit the judges
to do justice"
Young and inexperienced lawyers
In the legislatures who, because they
did not like the views of certain
Justice or because a matteradid not
turn out the way they thought 1t
should. proceed as soon as they get a
chance in the legislature to bring
about the change they think ought to
be made" were largely responsible for
the condition, he thought.
'sThe real reason for criticism of the
courts is not that the people have lost
faith in the courts and confidence in
our judges, but that they have come
10 where they want less and less to
be bound by law

Austria Gets Treaty.

Paris. = Chancellor Karl Renner,
head of the Austrian peace delegation,
left here for Vienna with the peace
treaty, which was just handed to the
Austrians. He indicated that he would
probably ask for an extension of time,
as the Austrian General Assembly
would meet on Saturday and Sunday
to discuss the terms.
The Supreme Council, it is an
nounced, will extend the time If Aus
tria so requests.
The treaty was presented to the
Austrian delegates by Paul Dutasta,
general secretary of the Peace Con
ference. He also handed them the Al
lied reply to the Austrian counter-pro'
posals and a covering letter reiterat-
ing that Austria had precipitated the
war by an ultimatum unacceptable to
Serbia. 1t was set forth, however, that
the Allies were willing to assist Aus.
tria to adapt herself to her new situa'
ton and to admit her in the near fu.
ture to the league Of nations.
The treaty was presented in French,
English and Italian texts.
The Supreme Council discussed the
failure of Roumania to make written
responses to the councils notes. 1t is
likely the council will send an admiral
in the near future with an emphatic
note demanding an immediate re-
bxr MI IN hn
communications.
The peace treaty to be offered Bull
garia, says the Temps, contains an ar
ticle by which Bulgaria will bind itself
to accept future decision by the pow
ers with regard to Thrace and the
Aegean Sea.
The Aegean seaport, access to which
the Allies have decided to give Bull
garia under the peace treaty, is Dedea'
catch, together with the railway lead
ing to that port.

with the attack on an American Army
airplane, has been eliminated, it was
indicated here by the admission Of
Mexican authorities that attack was
made by Carranza soldiers.
Capt. David w. McNabb was slightly
injured; but Lieut.. Won De 2. Johnson,
who was flying with him, escaped in
jury.
While official information was lack
ing, the impression was gained In
army circles that this admission has
removed the situation from the hands
Of the military so far as emergency
action is concerned and placed in di-
rectly UP to Washington for diplomatic
action. 49,.
To Punish Those Guilty.
Mexican Consul Garcia is announc-
ing that Mexican :. soldiers on their
initiative had fired upon the airplane,
said a. complete report had been made
to Mexico City, with a request for in
structions as to punishment for those
guilty.
One. point in difference between
Mexican and American reports was
the location of the airplane when the
opening volley was fred into it. Con
sui Garcia declared an investigation
showed it was one kilometer inside
the Mexican border, while unofficial
American reports insist the plane was
in United States territory at the time.
Scared Mexican Horses.
Mexican cavalry troops fred on the
American Army airplane near Laredo,
because it was flying so low that it
frightened the horses, according to an
official statement received by the Mex
lean consul in San Antonio from Con-
sui Garcia at Laredo.
It was the purpose of the Mexican
troopers merely to cause the Ameri-
can aviators to fly higher and cease
soaring the horses, the statement said.
The communication did not indicate
the altitude of the airplane at the
time the Mexican troopers fired into
1t, except that it was flying very low"
These reports, it was said, showed
that the American aviators were in
Texas territory at all times except
for q few seconds when they at
tempted to ascend rapidly to escape
the bullets and circle away.
A report from the aviators, accord.
ing to unofficial information, stated
they saw group of Mexicans near the
Rio Grande and descended to low
altitude to investigate. and that as
they passed the point, the Mexicans
suddenly rose and opened fire on them.

Washington.--Most members of the

only one-room offices.
Chairman Langley of the House
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds believes they should have
two rooms, and so he is planning in

Office building at a cost of 100000.
Enraged constituents are much in
favor of one room, for once Con-
gresham is found there, there is no
way for him to get out without an
interview.
Langley also points out that the
membership of Congress will probably
be increased after the next census in
