HALIFAX. y. S, Nov 30.-The
German barque. Paul. believed TO
have foundered with all on board
in mid-Atlantic when calls for help
either could not or would not be
answered by passing vessels, arriv-
ed here Sunday. the first German
craft TO enter Halifax since the out
break OF the war.
She brought with her a tale oil
misery endured at sea that was
ended by the galiantry OF the cap
tain OF a British steamship whose
former vessel had been torpedoed
and sunk by a German submarine
and her crew fired upon.
The Paul is commanded by Capt.
Wulf Kruger, pilot OF a German
seaplane that operated in the North
sea during the war. His craft pass
ed through several gales. Her sails
were torn TO tatters and her masts
carried away; passing ships refused
to take her I'm tow and when the
fate OF her crew seemed to be sealed
the British steamship Manchester
I.
Musgrave sent out wireless calls and
gave other assistance.
No Charts.
Capt. Kruger brought his disa-
bled craft TO port without proper
charts and was ignorant of the
coast. His wife was on the vessel.
On Nov the Paul was forced TO
lay 10 for four hours in a violent
gale in which a sailor fell from the
foremost and broke a leg and an
arm. The British steamship Idaho
took him off but the German skip
per said he could not induce passing
vessels to take him in tow. His
barque lost 21 sails and reached
port under a main sail, a lower top
sail and a foresail.

Hoover Makes Public Report
of Expenditures Incurred
During the War.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O-The Amer
lean relief administration will return
TO the United States government ap-
proximately sSS,75O,O 900 Of the $780,
900, 900 appropriated by congress for
relief in Europe, according to pre-
liminary reports Of Herbert Hoover
on the work of the administration
made public Sunday night. The
money will be returned in the form
OF treasury notes from the various
European governments who shared
In the relief work. The remainder
of the fund was expended for sup
plies which were donated on a
charitable basis for which there will
be no reimbursement" The report
was sent in duplicate to Pres't VIII
son and to congress on Nov. "a.
Because of the foreign exchange
situation in Europe, Mr.. Hoover
said, it was impossible at the present
time TO obtain reimbursement in
cash" for the supplies contracted for
by the various governments in the
relief areas.
Poland Gets Supplies.
The relief supplies purchased BY
the administration, according 10 the
report, were "all of American origin,
and none OF the appropriation there
fore was expended outside Of the
United States, except 10 some extent
for local freight and handling
charges in Europe. Poland received
$57. 5000 worth OF relief supplies
or more than half of the money
spent. Armenia was second on the
list. receiving $4,000 900 in sup
plies. Other countries receiving re-
lief were Czecno-Slovakia, Russia,
Esthonia, Lithuania and Finland.
The supplies that were donated
were for the relief of "under-nour-
ished children. This service. the
report declared, has contributed
greatly to stabilizing the situation in
those countries, aside from the phys
ical benefits to more than three mil
lion under nourished children, tC
whom the war threatened serious
and permanent injury"
In addition to the children's re-
lief. the administration paid approx
imately s550,000 for freight and ex-
penditures on old clothing contribut-
ed by the American Red Cross and
commission for relief in Belgium.
Mr.. Hoover explained in the re-
port that an itemized statement OF
receipts and expenditures of the ad-
ministration would be delayed for
some time because OF 1.-THE compli-
Gated nature OF the accounts" and
because OF the delay in the transfer
OF the records from London to the
United States. due to the recen'
longshoremen's strikes.

CONGRESS May
DECLARE PEACE
Naturalization Senators to
Introduce Measure at Con-
vening of Senate.
BY LOUIS LUDLOW.

News-Times Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. go
Members Of the United States senate
who are opposed TO the ratification
Of the existing treaty of peace with
Germany in any form have definite
" decided on a program which they
viii ask the senate to adopt when
the body reconvenes today. They
desire to have congress adopt a joint
resolution declaring that a state of
peace exists between the United
States and Germany
IL will be agreeable to them to
have the resolution on this subject
which Sen. Lodge introduced just
before adjournment Of the recent
session changed from a concurrent
10 a joint resolution. They agree
that there will be no question about
a joint resolution having to go TO the
president for his approval or dis
approval should congress adopt it.
They are not only willing, but anxi-
Gus. they say, to put the responsible
" for bringing the war to an end in
this way on the president.
Wilson'S Sentiment.
No doubt exists in their minds as
20 what the president would do with
such a resolution. He said 10 Sen.
Fall Of New Mexico nearly three
months ago in answering a question
propounded by the New Mexico sem
ator that he would never become a
party 20 such a disgraceful act.
Those who want the treaty killed
knew that If they should be able TO
get the modified Lodge resolution
through the two houses of congress
and the president should veto It
congress would not pass II in spite of
the veto. They knew very we'll that
two-thirds' vote 10 override the
veto could not be obtained in either
house. So the whole purpose OF the
program Of the senators who are
looking about for additional ways 70
prevent the ratification Of the treaty
Is 10 create situation which would
enable them TO say that congress
adopted a joint resolution declaring
that a state Of peace exists between
United States and Germany and
Pres't Wilson vetoed it.

states part OF the road and for
Ripley county's part OF the road
were received last Thursday at a
joint session Of the highway COM
mission and the commissioners OF
Ripley county. All the bids for the
work were confined entirely to ce-
ment construction as il was intend
ed they should do, even though bids
for brick and asphalt construction
were permitted.
About the time the bids were
opened attention was called 70 the
order Of circuit court directing the
construction Of the road by the use
OF brick and specifically stating
where the road should start and
where II should end. Announcement
was then made at the office OF the
state highway that because OF some
complications the attention Of the
state board of accounts had been
called TO the matter"
The state board - accounts is not
interested In whether the road Is
built OF brick or cement But II is
interested in whether or not the
state highway commission lent its
engineers to Ripley county for the
purpose Of preparing plans and spe-
cihcations for a cement concrete
road when the court had already or
dered that brick road be built.
No Law.
II is pointed out that there Is no
thing in the highway commission law
that authorizes the commission to do
the engineering for a county that is
DESTROYS OF obtaining a road and that
of state highway engineers were en-
plOyed in this work they were paid
for their time by the entire state
and were working wholly for Ripley
county. condition that makes II
proper for the state board 20 charge
their salaries and expenses against
the officials who directed them to do
this work.
The question OF whether or not the
state highway commission and the
commissioners Of Ripley county can
nullify the courts order for brick
road by the expediency OF having
the state construct one mile OF the
road and the county tie rest and
make II all cement concrete. is one
that will probably have 10 be settled
by the court.
The most interesting feature Of the
whole episode is the fact that
through the commissions action an
other Indiana road that IL was ex-
pected would be built OF brick has
been saved to the cement manufac-
turers who are now furnishing ce-
ment for more than "a. 900. 900 worth
of roads, all of cement and all of
type that is known as the cheapest
possible hard road.
