OF the nations thus f1tted
to administer govern
ment, the next great
question designed to create trouble
some questions in the peace confer
ence, include the claims of Italy on
the Adriatic, French claims to Ger
man territory and the entire Balkan
lineup.
President Wilson is standing for ad-
ministration under the league of ma
tions, which gives the inhabitants of
sharper rights to appeal from being
unduly exploited,
The American position regarding
the Italian, French and aBlkan claims
is the same as that concerning the
Pacific islands
While naturally considerable fric-
ton is anticipated it is certain that a
cOuCiliatory spirit will be manifested.
Progress has been made far better
than that appearing on the surface.
Italian insistance that the pact of
London be enforced to the letter has
been hit hard by the action of Japan
in accepting in fact the abrogation of
the secret treaty between Great Brit
ain and Japan regarding the islands
in the northern Pacific.
The precedent thus established is
considered almost certain to abrogae
all of the secret treaties entered into
since the beginning of the war.

EX-POL|CE OFFICER
SUES CITY FOR PAY
ALLEGED DUE HIM
FORMER PATROLMAN HENRY
MONROE RECEIVES JUDGMENT
OF $65.33 AGAINST CITY IN
JUDGE kosNIG's COURT.

Back pay, alleged to have been due
him while he served as a member of
the Ottawa police force, was sued for
i'll Judge koenig's court today by
former Patrolman Henry Monroe, who
named the city as defendant. Monroe
based his suit upon the occasion OF
mis- twenty-iiye-day suspension a year
Or more ago for failure TO make an
arrest. during which time he was
under investigation without compen-
sation.
As result Of the proceedings Mon
roe was given a judgment against the
city for $65.33. He was represented
at the hearing by Attorney James ]
Conway, while Attorney Roger II.
Clark represented the city
The case was one of the most hui
morOus that has been tried in the
local court for a number of months.
In July, 1917, just before the races,
Officer Monroe was called to the Col
lege Inn to quell a disturbance par.
ticipated in by two we'll known men.
When he arrived upon the scene there
was evidence OF a riot, but everything
was quiet, and the night waiter did
not wish to prefer charges against the
guilty men
The next day officer Monroe was
called upon the carpet and his star
was taken from him by Commissioner
Palmer until further investigation
into the case could be made Com
missioner Palmer was called TO Camp
sherman the following day, and it
was twenty-eight days before Officer
Monroe was reinstated
Several months ago officer Monroe,
who is a married man and has four
children, resigned from the force to
accept another position. His record
on the force shows he made many ar
rests during his service, and a letter
from Commissioner Palmer commend
ing him for bravery in December, 1917.
when he arrested Maroni, the Mexi,
can murderer was introduced into
court as evidence.

awarded the back pay to Mr. Monroe

len, Harry Boyle, l. II. Morley, James
Henry and Henry Corrigan.
