ALBANIA NOW STIRRED.
By President Wilson's Promise Of vOlp
ma to Italy.

Paris, April 30, Wednesday, (By the
Associated Press The town of Volpna,
which President Wilson said should be-
long to italy in his memorandum to
Premier Orlando, is not on the Dal-
NATHAN coast, but is an Albanian port,
now occupied by Italians. The Alba
MIA delegation here is much excited over
the situation and say that giving this
town to Italy would start trouble in Al
bania.
Premier Venizelos has based on Italy's
possession of Volpna claim of the Al
banian islands for Greece, and the Ser
bians, elected by this action, are making
proposals which are said to be threaten
ing Albania's existence.
The text of the memorandum handed
to Premier Orlando Of Italy by Presi-
dent Wilson on April IA was made pub.
lie at Paris on Tuesday night. Relative
to Italian claims on the eastern shore Of
the Adriatic, President Wilson, among
other things, said;
"I believe there viii be common agree
ment that the islands of Liza 1913 miles
southwest of the port of Spalato, Dali
NATAL should be ceded to Italy and that
she should retain the port of Volpna."

LARGE NAVAL POLICE FORCE.
Must Be Maintained By Allies, Secre-
tarY Daniels Thinks.

London, May LA large naval inter
national police force will be necessary
under the league of nations plan imme-
diately after peace is declared, in the
opinion of Josephus w. Daniels, Amer
lean secretary Of the navy, and one of
the objects of his trip abroad is to dis
cuss with the admiralties Of Italy,
France and Great Britain some details as
to this force, and the type Of vessels
most desirable.
"The desire of conquest may still lin
ger in the hearts of some nations after
peace" said Secretary Daniels, "and such
nations must be shown that it would be
improbable to attempt to accomplish
those desires"
/ As the league of nations becomes es-
tablished Secretary Daniels added, the
naval police force would certainly be
decreased in proportion to the strength
of the league.
The secretary has just returned from
visit to the interned German battle
fleet at Skapa Flow. He declined to ex-
press an opinion as to the disposition of
these German warships

"SOMEWHAT QUICKENED
INTEREST" IS NOTED
But the Victory Loan Is Not Going as
Well as the Fourth Loan at This
Stage of Campaign.

Washington, D. G., May 1.-The treas
ury today reported q somewhat quick
ened interest," in the Victory Liberty
loan campaign, based on reports from
federal reserve districts. The total sub
scriptions of yesterday tabulated still
stood at Sl.l30, ,697 900.
The treasury's review of the progress
of the campaign said;
The percentage of quota officially re-
ported still is below the percentage of
the fourth liberty loan subscribed at the
same period. There Is gradual falling
off in the average percentage of quota
subscribed and workers are at loss to
explain il. Every district seems to be
hopeful that it win obtain its quota, but
none Of them is over optimistic"
In New England 2l4 communities have
oversubscribed. They are divided: Mas
sachusetts, IL; Maine, AZ; New Hamp-
shire, 27; Vermont, IL; Connecticut, IA.
The concluding schedule Of Secretary
Glass speaking tour on behalf of the
loan was announced to-day as follows;

Third of April Outlay Was
in Loans to Our
Allies

Washington, d G., May Nearly six
months after the signing of the armistice
Americas war expenses not only are c1n-
tinuing unabated, but actually are in
crossing over those Of the last few
months, This was shown to-day by a
treasury report of government outlays
for April amounting to approximat 'ly
81 ,210.000,000, OF which about two-thrds
went to pay the nations direct war bill
and cne-thord went TO the allies to en-
abls them to pay obligations incurred
in this country heretofore for war mate
rials and foodstuffs.
The gradual mounting of war ex-
penscs from month TO month, following
the big d1op from around s2,000,000, 900
month last December and January to
Sl.ls9,000,000 in February, was cited o.
treasury officials as very substantial
reason why the Victory Liberty loan
must be generously subscribed. The in
crease in the last two months is at
tributed to the gradual settling of man
ufacturers' accounts by the war depart
ment and by the higher demand Of the
allies for credits with which to pay bills
previously incurred in this country.
The tremendous outlays in April raised
the United States actual expenditures
since the nation entered the war little
more than two years ago to about $780,
600,000,0o0, About $4,000, 100000 Of this
has gene to the allies and will be re-
paid eventually Without war, ths gov
ernment's expenses probably would not
have been more than g. 900, 100000 in
the two years, officials believe.
On this basis, it is indicated, the gov
ernment has passed something like $lS,-
500, 100000 across the counter for war
materials, army equipment supplies,
merchant ships, navy vessels, and the
overhead costs of maintaining big
fighting machine. Througl sale Of mate
rials on hand, and salvaging u consider
able government property, some officials
hope TO get as much as S2,000,000, 600
Net war costs will be reduced by that
sum, whatever it may prove finally TO be

CESSATION OF WORK
WAS QUITE COMPLETE
Not a Wheel on the Trans
portation Lines Turned,
and Even the Restaurants
Closed Their Doors on
Hundreds of Thousands
of People.

Paris, May Crowds, which gradu.
ally had been assembling to-day in the
Place Madeleine, broke through the In
fantry Gordon stretched between the
Madeleine and the Place De La Concorde
and swept down the Rue Royale. Cav
airy hurried them backwards into the
side streets, but several thousands
reached the Place De La Concorde.
The cessation Of work for the day, in
accordance with the plan for the "a hour
shutdown, was virtually complete. Not
wheel was turning on any of the trans
portation systems, the tramways and sub
ways eeasing to operate and taxicabs
and omnibuses keeping off the streets.
Restaurants and cafes were closed and
guests in the hotels had to go hungry
If they had not supplied themselves with
food beforehand, as no meals were be-
ing served in any of the hundreds of
eating places Even the drug stores
closed their doors.
There was no solace for the city's pop
ulation in the way of the amusement
customarily provided by the theatres.
music halls and other resorts, for these
were closed tight for the day. No news
papers were published and senders of
letters or kilograms found their facili.
ties hampered by periodic stoppages in
the postal and wire service throughout
the day.
Industry on all sides was completely
inactive, work being suspended by arti-
sans in the building and other trades,
the miners and ship workers every class
of labor, in fact taking the day off,
The eating problem was one of the
most serious the population had to face,
as nearly three quarters of million per
sons in Paris customarily take their
meals In public eating places. The city
dwellers as q whole, however, had been
provident in this respect, thousands of
them laying in supplies over night from
the shops and bakeries.
A persistent rain throughout the fore
noon gave the city dismal and gloomy
appearance. Some provision stores We're
open, but were expected to close at noon.
Places for the sale of liquor at retail
were open. sThe tie-up of the transporta-
tion lines was broken somewhat by the
appearance of few taxicabs on the
streets.

THE PEACE TREATY SCENE.
Spacious Dining Hall of Hotel at Yer
saillea.

Versailles, Wednesday, April 30 tBy
the Associated Press The spacious
dining room of the Hotel Trianon to-
day received its peace congress installa
tion--three long tables in horseshoe
form, covered with the traditional green
cloth OF diplomacy and games of hazard
The installation is imposing in the size
Of each of the side tables, which extend
some 40 TO so feet. At the head Of the
apartment is table about 80 feet long
at which the representatives of the great
powers will be seated, with President
Poincare or Premier CIemenceau in the
center.
Inside the horseshoe is another table
covered with red plush, and in the space
between one side Of the horseshoe and
the window is similar table. In the
openings are a number Of smaller square
tables or secretaries.
This is the scene for the handing over
the terms of peace. @The exact time OF
the ceremony has not been announced,
but it is commonly assumed that il win
occur ON Saturday. The French govern.
ment, however, has carefully abstained
from naming the day and IL is a fair
presumption that this is owing to the
problem whether the intervening time
will be long enough to verify the creden-
tials Of the German plenipotentiaries.
but also the uncertainty whether the
draft OF the treaty can be completed
by Saturday Questions relative to the
adequacy Of the powers Of the German
delegates and their qualifications to
speak for Bavaria, which came to the
front to-day, may furnish an occasion
for deferring the handing over of the
treaty, Should further delay be neces-
sary plenary meeting with the German
delegates will occur probably on Friday.
At this meeting their credentials will be
submitted for examination TO a commits
sion headed by Jules Cambon Of France.
All the German delegates, including
Count Won Brockdorff Rantzau, The for.
eign minister, were out for brief stroll
to-day despite the inclement weather.
The afternoon was chiefly devoted to
preparations for the congress.

He was a member of the Knights of
Columbus, New England Order of Pro-
lection, and Holy Name society besides

GERMAN RIGHTS IN
SHANTUNG co TO JAPAN
And Japan Voluntarily Engages to Hand
Back the Province in Full Sow
ereignty to China

Paris, Wednesday, April 80 tBy the
Associated Press All German rights
at Kiao Chau and in Shantung province
are to be transferred without reserve to
Japan, according to an agreement reached
to-day by the council of three, Japan
voluntarily engages to hand back Shan
tung province in full sovereignty to
China, retaining only the economic priv
ileges granted TO Germany, and the right
to establish a settlement at Using Tao,
south of kiao Chau
The American delegation to the peace
conference regards this agreement as
the best possible solution of the far east
ern problem to be obtained without risk
ing break similar to that which re-
suited in the Italian delegation leaving
Paris. Confidence is felt that the league
of nations, which will have control over
the future relations between Japan and
China and which will guarantee the fu-
ture territorial integrity and independ-
ence of China, will be sufficiently strong
TO safeguard Chinese interests and in
sure the return of all China's rights in
the Shantung province.
President Wilson and Premiers Lloyd
George and Clemenceau are all especially
eager for the withdrawal of allied troops
from all enemy colonies and are conf
dent that the league of nations can
speedily solve pending disputes when
military pressure is eliminated.
A great difference Of opinion prevails
in conference circles es TO the effect the
compromise arranged in the Kiao Chau
controversy will have in far eastern af
fairs. The Japanese delegates are pleased
over the transfer of German rights and
property to them and say the agreement
virtually carries into effect the provis-
ions of the Chino-Japanese treaty of
May %, 1915.
The Chinese withhold any statement,
pending the issuance of the actual word
ing of the agreement to be included in
the peace treaty.
The owners of the railway out of Kiao
Chau will use special police only to in
sure the security Of traffic. This force
will be composed of Chinese, with such
japanese instructors as the directors of
the railway shall select and who are ap-
pointed by the Chinese government. All
Japanese military forces are to be with
drawn at the earliest possible moment.
