which King Kamehameha greeted the
first American warship.

being pumped out, when it was TWIST
ed into shapeless mass by the pres
sure of water.

The president, in addition to declar-
ing that he had no power to declare
peace clearly indicated he would not
consent to take such step if he did
have the power. He declared that such
q course "wOuld put stain upon our
national honor which we could never ef-
face.
The president also says that renuucia-
tion of territory rights by Germany does
not carry title to the allies, but does
put disposition of the territory in their
names.
The Fall questions were submitted at
the White House conference between
the president and senate foreign rela-
tions committee Tuesday.
The president s letter in reply was
written yesterday and reads:
"You left yesterday in my hands ces-
tain written questions which / promised

consent to take such course prior to the
ratification Of a formal treaty of peace.

AMERICAN SUPPLIES
 SOLD IN ENGLAND
Offices Will Soon Be Closed Because Practically All Material Has
 Been Sold

London, June 16.-The last of the bill lion dollars worth of stores purchased by the American army in England will have been disposed of on August 1 in the opinion of Maj. Gen. J. c. Riddle The American army headquarters were closed June 15 and only small contin- gent of the quartermaster's department remained to cooperate with the lquida. tion commission in adjusting few re- maning contracts and selling supplies. Consequently by August the army will cease to have a war interest in Eng land.
 Immediately the armistice was signed we began to cancel and adjust contracts and in this work had such hearty CO., operation from the British war office that the United States has been able to clear up it's contracts very advantage ousy," said General Riddle. "Only few of them remain to be adjusted.
 ''The last property on hand consisted largely of aviation, engineer and ord nance stores. It was not deemed ad. visable to dispose of it too quickly and finally it was arranged that auction sales of all that was not disposed of privately should begin the latter part of June. There was demand for most of the material and our early inquiries in- dcated that good prices would be ob- tained and also that we would have lit- tie difficulty in getting rid of everything we had.
 q want to lay emphasis upon the hos. ptality shown by the English people toward the American soldier now that I am going home. We have been enter tained and looked after officially and unofficially. The special committee of the ministry of information which pro- vided entertainment at camps and for men on leave vied with the American organizations in making life pleasant and the real spirit of hospitality was em- phasiZed by the great number of Eng fish families residing near American centers of activities who made strange American soldiers welcome in their homes."

The quarrel is on the intending subject of tips. It has been the policy during some weeks to include the tip in the bill. At the end of each day. the wait. CTS share would amount to 70 per cent of the gross receipts in some cases The proprietors found that this procedure was not acceptable to the guests and asked the walters to return to the for mer system of voluntary tipping They refused.
 The refusal culminated in a strike. Some hotels were forced to accede to the demands of the walters and in these alone was anyone able to procure food. Because these hotels were the only ones in which people could be served, the walters clashed with the patrons. Ital- ian officers accompanied by women were insulted while a dignfied British gen. eral. just returned from the campaign in Palestine was subjected to a some what torturesome excoriation.
