Artillery Very Important.

Washington.-Furth evidence of
the tremendous importance of artillery
in modern warfare, shown by official
records of the War Department, has
been made public. The average rounds
fired monthly, according to these fig
ures, increased from $3.50 In the Cri-
mean war to 12,71O,OOO in 1913. In
1854 the entire union forces expended
1,95O,O0O rounds of artillery ammuni-
tion, while in 1913 the combined Brit
ish, French and American batteries
shot 160,615,0O0 rounds In the same
period, the approximate number of
rounds per gun per day has increased
from four in 1861 to thirty-flve in
1918.

Treaty in Two Parts.

Paris.-The peace treaty will be di-
vided into two parts, according to the
latest information in the French press.
The first part will concern Germany
and will include clause by which she
will pledge herself to comply with all
agreements to be concluded with her
former allies. The second part will
not concern Germany directly and
will be signed only by the Austrian,
Bulgarian and Turkish delegates.

RED CONTROL
THREATS TO sTARVE THE CITY
UNLESS THE DISORDERS

PROPERTY IS SEIZED
BoLSHEvIKi RULE TO BE ESTAB-
LISHED BY SOLDIERS coUN-
GIL REPORTED.

Vienna, April 21.-ContrOl of Vienna
has beer taken over by the soldiers
council. Quiet prevails, but commun-
izing of the property of those unable
to resist has begun. 1t is possible there
will be no change in the name of the
government, but it will be Bolshevisti
in purpose The situation is much the
same as il was at Budapest few
hours after the radicals had taken con-
troll. The policing of the city has been
taken over by the Volkswehr. The par
lament building has been occupied by
two battalions of soldiers after repre-
sentatives of the soldiers council had
placed 5000 men at the governments
disposal upon the understanding that
the police would be dispersed.
The soldiers are commanded by Col.
Stoessel WINNER, who takes orders
from the soldiers council, which is
either socialistic or communistie.
Colonel Cunningham, in the name of
the allies, has issued a proclamation
declaring that If there is further dis
turbance the food supply will be cut
off. For that reason serious trouble is
unlikely.
Two demonstrations were started
during the week. the outgrowth of sew
eral communist meetings which were
lightly attended by Austrians. One Of
these meetings took place at the war
office, when the Austrian republican
flag of red and white was pulled down
by small crowd and a red flag run
up in its place.
1t is significant that the outbreak
happened at the time of the visit of
Joseph Pogany, reputed to be the rul-
ing chief of the Hungarian communist
government, and other Hungarian Of
ficials, who are said to realize that it
will be impossible for their plan to
succeed without the Austrian aid.
Pogany, in an interview which was
printed locally, declared that the
Americans favored the Bolsheviki. He
pointed out that Americans already
had furnished food to Budapest, but
did not state that the food was sold
by the Americans to the Karolyl gov
ernment, or that, in view of having re-
ceived the money, they delivered the
goods Notwithstanding the existence OF
the communist government.

well-informed quarters that the situa-
ton of the peace negotiations was
such that President Wilson probably
would be able to sail homeward May
20. and possibly little earller-May
10. The belief was expressed that the
President would call an extra session
of Congress to convene between May
15 and June /. Present Indications
are that the peace treaty will be
signed before the Presidents depart
ure. Information reaching the dele
gates tends to show that the Germans
are not planning to take up time and
delay the signing of the treaty, as they
desire a settlement of the peace terms
at the earliest possible moment
Paris.-A petition asking for the
punishment of the Germans RESPONSE
BILE for the deportation of women from
Lille, Roubaix and Tourcoing in the
spring of 1916 will soon be handed to
the peace conference. 1t is signed by
$4,000 women, including Madame Gas
ton, Calmette and Mrs. Anna Roose-
welt. The petition says:
I'm spite of the most elementary
laws of humanity, thousands of wom
en-, girls and children of every condl-
tion were Systematically abducted
from their families and were forced to
submit to the most odious treatment.
We women of France, with bleeding
and broken hearts. demand justice
from the peace conference on behalf
of our martyred sisters.
ITO prevent such crimes from ever
being perpetrated again we demand
that those guilty of them be punished
like ordinary criminals. We trust you
will exact full Justice from Germany
and her allies. We are nearing the
anniversary Of the day, April %, 1916,
when that odious deed, against which
the women of all nations protest, was
carried out, and we firmly trust that
another year will not elapse before the
guilty are punished, both those who
issued the order from Berlin and those
who executed 1t in the most brutal
way"
With the return of David Lloyd
George, the British premier, from his
visit home, for his House of Commons
address, the council of four, comprIs-
ing the British, French and Italian
premiers and President Wilson, re-
sumed its deliberations The "big
four" met in the Paris white House."
The Polish-German boundary uues-
tion was finally disposed of by the
council Of four this morning. No an
nouncement was made of the decisions
taken. but 1t is understood that Dan
zig will be internationalized, while the
Poles will have corridor running
from that city to their frontier to give
them access to the sea.
Only routine work In connection
with the coming of the German dele
gates has been taken up. The most Inn
portant remaining question to be set
tied is that of the Jugo-S Slav and Ital-
ian claims in the Adratic. Baron Sid
ney Sonnlno, Italian foreign minister,
will set forth the Italian case, it is ex-
pected.

SITUATION IS DELICATE
LLOYD GEORGE TALKS TO HOUSE
OF COMMONS.
AND U. S. HAD ANY MIS-
UNDERSTANDING
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
London, April 1.-THE allied repre-
sentatives in Paris have arrived at
complete understanding on the great
fundamental questions that would eff
feet peace with Germany, Premier
George declared in addressing the
House OF Commons The allies had
formulated their demands and he
hoped that they would be presented
shortly The premier declared, how
ever, that the situation was still full
of perils for all countries" He plead
ed that "those who were trying to do
their best be let alone"
No conference in history, said the
premier, had been faced with prob
lens of such variety, complexity,
magnitude and gravity. The congress
OF Vienna, which was the nearest ap-
proach to 1t, took eleven months for
its work, but that congress, Mr.. Lloyd
George pointed out, sank into insig-
nificance as compared with what had
been settled by this conference.
The time spent by the peace con-
ference in framing the League of Ma
tions plan saved time instead of vast
ing it, Mr.. Lloyd George declared, as
the league would provide a means of
adjustment of possible errors.
81 would rather leave Russia Boil
shevist until they see their way out
of 1t rather than see Great Britain
landed in bankruptcy" was one of the
premiers declarations.
ut is not true that the United
States and Europe have been at vari-
ance," the premier declared. He depre-
Gated attempts to sow dissension
among the delegates.
After referring to the worldwide
extent of the war, the premier said
that new states had sprung into ex-
istence, some of them independent,
some semi-lndependent and some that
might be protectorates, and although
their boundaries might not be defined,
some indication of them must be
given.
The premier made a vigorous at
tack upon those who had Attempted
to SOW dissension, discrust and sus-
picion" between the nations whose
"cordiality and good will toward each
other was essential" He could not
conceive of worse crime, he de-
clared, at time when nothing could
save the world but keeping the ma
tions together.
The delegates, said Mr.. Lloyd
George, had never forgotten what
France had gone through, and they
had not forgotten to what she was
entitled, not merely security against a
repetition of German attack, but to
feel sense of security against it.
The conference had come to a
unanimous conclusion on all the ques-
tions before it, including a decision
that to publish the peace terms before
they were discussed with the enemy
would be first-class blunder Their
premature publication, he contended
could only serve to encourage the re-
slstance of the enemy.
Mr.. Lloyd George denied that he
was trying to escape the declarations
he made during the general election
campaign. The declaration regarding
making Germany pay, he declared,
had been concurred in by all the party
leaders.

SEEK TO ADVANCE
COUNTY TO 1ST CLASS
Petition Presented To Commission
ers Asking Change; Would Mean
Bigger Salaries For Officials

An effort is being made today at
the county courthouse to raise the
rating of Whatcom County from its
classification made in 1905 of coun-
ty of the fifth class. A petition has
! been presented to the county COM
misioners. signed by courthouse EN-
ployes, and hearing was set by
the commissioners for today.
The only advantage that would
accrue to the county in being advanc-
ed in classification is that the salar-
les of the county officials would be
raised. AS county of the fifth
class. population 10000 to $4,000,
officials are receiving the following
salaries: Auditor. $1,000; clerk. ST.
900: treasurer. $4,000: sheriff, ST.
900; attorney, $1,000; superintend-
ent of schools. $500; coroner. ST.
900; engineer. $1,000; assessor. ST.
500.
II the commissioners decide af-
ter hearing the petitioners that the
county has population of $4,000 or
more, the salary checks will be in
creased as follows: auditor, $2,40O;
clerk, $4,000; treasurer, $2,500; at
torney. $4,000; sheriff. s2,4OO; sup
erintendent of schools, $4,000; cor
oner, $1,000; engineer. $2,400; as
SCISSOR, $4,000: county commissioners
who are supposed to get only IS a
day under present classification,
would get $4,000 year and trav-
elling expenses.
A boost to the second class would
put the following schedule into ef-
feet: auditor, $2.400; clerk. $4,000;
treasurer. $2.5OO; sheriff, $4,000;
attorney. $4,000; school superinten-
dent, $4,000: assessor. 1900: coro-
ner, $1,000, engineer. $2,400. \
county m III lave a pop ilation from
10000 to $4,000 to Ue entitled to
. secon;. class rating
The third and fourth class salar-
les are the same as those Of the fifth
class.
The 1910 census gave WhatcOm
County a population of 49,511, en-
titling the county to be remain in
the fifth class. A United States Gen.
sus estimate in 1915 gave the county
62,9O4, a third-class population.
The petition contains figures of
bank deposits. postoffice receipts. and
school attendance, which it declares
indicate a considerable growth of the
population of the county.
