GERMAN PRESS IS OPPOSEDTO
 LEAGUE PLANS
Call It League of Arms
 Against Germany
ANGLO AMERICAN
 WORLD DOMINATION
Tagchlatt Says Germany Better Safe.
 guarded Within Than Without.

Washington, March 11.-General opposition to the proposed league of nations is reflected in recent German newspaper comment received by the state department and made public to- day TWO of the deputies declared the league as proposed would establish "AnelO American world domination" while another characterizes it as "a league of arms against Germany
 The VOrWaerts asserts that the league "is league of victors with character of trust despite the wei come established of the principle of arbitration and the treaty is pervaded
 with capitalistic spirit"
 The Tageliche Rundschau says that the league simply establishes Anglo American world domination, France,
 Japan and Italy being permitted to assist neutrals."
 DepreGiates Germany The Germans, according to the Tageblatt, now learns that in the league of nations statutes "estab- lished at Paris without consultation, no attention appears to have been paid to Germany, evidently consider ed second or third rate power The league is d draft, not league of nations, but a league of arms against Germany"
 The Leipsif Tageblatt says "It is our misfortune we are in q disad- vantageous position regarding power but that should not deter us from aps proving the erection of a league, for the cause is of too great importance for US. Our existence as a national and economic body is at stake and this is better safeguarded within than without the league. It does not fol- low that we must swallow the treaty in it's present form"
 Ahe Vossische Zeitung terms the treaty a great disappointment; mere ly an instrument to maintain the supremacy of England and America. y

ORGANIZATION FOR CONTROL OF
 HOUSE COMPLETE
Republicans Select Mondell of Wyoming for Floor
 Leader.

Washington, March 11.-Republi- can organization for the majority control of the next house was com pleted today with the selection of representative Frank w. Mondell, of Wyoming, as floor leader. Represent tatives Wislow, Massachusetts; Moore, Pennslvania; Longworth, Ohio; Mad den, Illinois, and Dunn, New York, as the steering committee to have chage of the legislative program. Mir. MOn- dell will be chairman of this cOm- mittee.
 Mann Refuses.
 Selection of MT. Mondell was made after Representative James R. Mann, of Illinois, Republican leader in the last house, had refused to accept the post when elected by the committee. AS Mir. Mann has not been appointed to any of the house committees, he will be left without place in the Republican organization unless he accepts appointment to one or two vacancies existing in few of the important committees. Representa- tive LongwOrth, of Ohio, vainly sought to prevent the committee taking up the | GOT leadership selection at this time and after MT. Mann's nomina- tion he refused to vote the Ohio dele gation which he represented The representatives from Indiana, Idaho and West Virginia also refrained from voting, but the only ballots cast against MT. Mann was those of the twelve Massachusetts Republicans, represented by Representative Wins low, who was campaign manager for Representative Gillett in the recent speakership contest. 1

WILL ABANDON
 PLANS FOR BIG
 ARMY FACTORY
Neville Island Ordnance
 Plant Given Up. BUILDINGS ERECTED
 TO BE DISMANTLED
Cancellation AbsOlute-Island win
 Be Turned Rack to Owners.

Washington, March 11.-Abandon- ment of the Neville Isand ordnance plant, planned as the largest muni- tons factory i'll the world, was an- nounced today by the War Depart ment. Not only will construction be stopped at once, but buildings al- ready completed will be dismantled and the tools. and machinery manu- factured or nearing completion will be transferred to other government arsenals or sold. The island itself in the Ohio river near Pittsburgh, will be turned back to the original owners.
 Cancellation of the project is ab- solute. Reports that the island would be retained as the principal ordnance storage depot for the east e1m part of the United States Were specifically denied 'by the depart ments statement. For a few months 1t will be utilized for storage pur- poses to relieve congestion at other depots, but when this need has passed the property will be cleared and turned back to it's former own CTS.
 Work Began Last May.
 Designed primarily to supply the needs of the army for the heaviest artillery, the Neville Island project was pushed from the day the site was definitely selected-May IA, 191S-until the signing of the armis- tice removed the urgent necessities for it's operation. The original plans called for the production of fifteen 14inch rifles and 10000 14-inch and 16-inch shells per month. Looking to the future, however, the army ex- perts had designed the machinery so that it could be adapted to the pro- duction of 11S-inch guns.
 Construction and operation of the Neville Island project was under taken by the United States Steel Corporation at ''the expense of the government and without profit" un- der an agreement entered into at the urgent request of the war depart ment.
 Tha rapidity with which work on the plant was rushed was evidenced by the statement that 165 14-inch cannon produced there would have been on the battle front by May, 1920. fl'

MEXICAN DECREE MAY REOPEN OIL
 TAX QUESTION
Foreign Companies Protest Attempt to Collect Roy
 atty Taxes.

Washington, March 11-AlthOugh President Carranza has agreed with the United States authorities to take no further action affecting foreign oil interests in Mexico until the Mexican Congress can act on the new oil law introduced some weeks ago, decree has been issued at Mexico City di- recting that the royalty taxes on oil produced in January and Fbruary b paid immediately.
 Officials said today that this de- cree might result in the re-opening of the whole question of the rights of the foreign companies.
 When President CarranZa issued hls first decree prOclaiming all oil lands state property and requiring foreign companies to pay royalty taxes" the American government protested ener- getically. The companies refused to pay the taxes on the ground that to do so would admit government own ership of petroleum and they began action Tn the Mexican courts looking to permanent relief In the mean time, protests also had been made by the other three governments.
 Believed German Plan
 At that time, German influence under the guidance of the then am bassador, Won Eckhardt, was at its height and the interested govern ments believed that Mexico's attempt to "nationalize" petroleum was inspir ed by Germany. The companies re sisted the effort and the steady low of oil to the allies continued.
 President Carranza finally agreed to hold the enforcement of his decree in abeyance until congress could ac on a new law which he proposed ant | which was understood to have the ap proval of the American government Congress adjourned without takini action, however, and now Carranza i! seeking to force payment of the taxes In view of officials and the owners of oil properties in Mexico, paymen of the royalty taxes would auto
 natically end in favor of the govern 1 ment suits now pending in the Mexi can courts for by this action tn companies would admit governmen ownership of the oil.

GENERAL kENLY
 IS REPLACED BY
 BRIG. MITCHELL
Only Two Aviation Fields In U. s. Will Be Main
 tained.

Washington, March 11.-Coincident with the announcement today that Major General William l.. Kenly had been replaced as director of military aeronautics of the army by Brigadier General William Mitchell, it was learned that orders have been issued for the cessation of aviation training at all fields in the United States eX- cept two to be designated by Major General Charles T. ,Menoher, director of the air service. These instructions take effect March 15, and thereafter the work done at other fields than the two to be selected will have to do only with the storage and main- tenance of equipment.
 All aviation personnel that can be spared will be discharged by March 31. and the flyers retained at the two training fields to be kept in operation will be, so far as practi- cable, those who desire to remain in the permanent military establish ment.
 To Aid Discharges.
 These orders represent a new ef- fort to keep demobilization up to a schedule and get the total of dis charges to the 100000 mark by the end of the present month. The can- ceiling of General Kenly's wartime rank and his assignment to his own branch of the service, the field ar- tillery, in his permanent rank of colonel, was said to be in line with this policy of reduction all along the line.
 The orders also were interpreted as signaling the new status of ths air service which is developing and the fact that General Men0her has actually taken hold of the entire service, both. production and opera tion, after devoting nearly two months to studying the situation dur ing which time he did not interfere with the methods he found on his re turn from France, where he com manded the Forty-second (Rainbow) division.
 Fields Not Named.
 General Menoher has not yet desig mated the fields at which training for the air service is to continue ant officers had no suggestions to make as to his probable selections. Includ ing numerous special fields, abou g aviation fields and centers were il operation during the war. In select ing two of these, it was said, tha General lMenoher undoubtedly woult be influenced by year-around con ditions. This would imply the SC lection Of some of the southerl fields.
