HOUSE PASSES RAILROAD
Administration BILL
Votes $3.50, 100000 for Operating
Expenses, Four Members Dissent
ing-Bill Goes to Senate.

Appropriation Of $3.50. 100000 for use
OF the railroad administration in op-
Grating the government-contro
railroads was voted by the House yes
terday, with but four dissenting. The
bill now goes to the Senate.
There were 305 votes cast in favor.
Those opposing were: Anthony of
Kansas; Ramseyer, Iowa; woodward,
West Virginia. republicans, and
Thomas. Kentucky, democrat. Demo-
cratic members urged larger amount,
but did not press any amendment for
an increase, while republicans de-
clared the fund would be sufficient
until later in the year, when future
needs would be known.
Chairman Good of the appropria-
tions committee, in charge of the
rail bill. explained that reduction
from the $1,000. 100000 requested by
Director General Hines was decided
on by the committee because it was
admitted that exact needs of the
future were problematical. The new
fund he said, would make a total of
$1,250, 100000 granted the administra-
ton since the rail lines were taken
over by the government.

SAW HUNS SHOOT REDS
DOWN Three AT A TIME
Capt. Forman Says Men at ,Libau
Faced Squad on Edge Of
Ditch.

PARIS. June 10 (by the Associated
Press).-Capt. Howell Forman. at the
Baltic headquarters of the American
relief administration, situated at
Libau. has written to the Paris head
quarters q graphic description Of the
scenes in the Baltic section, from
which the bolsheviki have been ex-
PEELED. Describing the conditions the
Americans found in Riga. Capt. For
man says:
Among the sights I saw was the
shooting of eighteen bolsheviki, three
at a time, by a German firing squad.
1t was German efficiency at its best. A
ditch was dug by bolsheviki awaiting
trial and the other wretches, already
condemned, came up three at a time
as their names were called.
THE condemned men stood with
their heels at the edge of the ditch
and with their eyes unblindfolded
faced their executioners-nine hard
German soldiers, two of whom fired
at each condemned mans head and
one at each heart. After the last three
men had tumbled into the hole that
had been dug for them bolshevists
awaiting trial threw a few shovels
full of dirt into the grave and were
then led back to prison.

Senator Walsh quoted a speech by
Theodore Roosevelt accepting the
Nobel prize at Christiania, in 1910, as
follows:

peace would form a league of peace.

themselves, but to prevent, by force

others. The supreme dimculty In con-
work of The Hague arises from the
lack of any executive power. of any

senator. "if it ever was seriously

Points to Panama Treaty.

THE covenant does undoubtedly,
should the treaty be signed, obligate
this country to make war. But we
have not hesitated heretofore to as
sumo a like obligation. We entered
into a treaty with the Republic of
Panama, the first article of which is
as follows:
ARTICLE l. The United States guar
antees and will maintain the inde-
pendence Of the Republic of Panama
mo one can doubt the significance
of that undertaking. We go to war
with any country that attempts to re-
duce the republic through whose con-
cessions we built the Panama canal.
That treaty was entered into in the
year 1904, the late Theodore Roosevelt
being President of the United States.

SENATOR WALSH
DEFENDS LEAGUE
Charges, in Speech, That 0p'
ponents Trump Up Unsup-
portable Objections.

Asserting that opponents of the
league of nations have trumped ur
many unsupportable objections to play
upon popular sensitiveness. Senator
Walsh, democrat. of Montana. defend
ed the league covenant in the Senate
today against charges that it sub
verts the American Constitution.
Answering Senators Lodge, repub-
lican. of Massachusetts,; Knox, re-
publican, Pennsylvania, and others
who have urged constitutional objec-
tions, the Montana senator declared
their arguments founded on theories
long since disproved. He quoted many
precedents to support his position that
the covenant neither sets aside any
constitutional prerogative nor as
sumes any new power in treaty-mak-
ing.

Is Not "Superstate."

Charges that the league would be a
"superstate," he declared to be a
mere defamation" since the organ
ism in most of the provisions COM
planned of could only advise" or
recommend" The celebrated article
ten, he continued. certainly would
bind the United States to make war in
certain instances, but added that the
same obligation had been assumed by
various treaties made by this govern
ment in the past.
''The people," said Mr.. Walsh. "have
an intense pride in and a just rever-
ence for their national Constitution. If

policy runs counter to the commands

American Tariff Needs Revi.iOn,

Trade condition may eventua arise
to make some measure of Protection
imperative for American manufactur-
ers. If their interests are to be safeguar
ded and shield labor from lower wage
scales of Europe. With our vastly aug
mented Government expenditures, the
old slogan of ga Tariff for revenue on
ly, has lost its meaning and the Tariff
problem should be considered solely as
business and Industrial factor.
1t is interesting to note that in the
annual report of the United States
Commission, submitted to Congress on
the second of the month, there appears
the complaint that existing Tariff
laws contains many Inconsistencies and
inequalities which should be remedieA
The report calls attention to the fact
that the classifcations of commodities
is sometimes iilegicaP'; that duties
on finished products are net properly
proportional to the duties on raw mate
rials, and that the same or similar arti
cles are mentioned in different para
graphs, causing uncertainty as to the
rate Of duty to be imposed.
Judgment on Tariff matters may
well be reserved, however, until the
peace conference is over and the term:

ENROLLED UNDER RED CROSS
Greek Girls, Trained Here as Nurses,
viii Do Work of Mercy in Their
Own Country.

Greek girls in the uniforms of
American Red Cross nurses are now
serving in the hospitals Of Greece.
These girls are part of Il number from
New England who, anxious to help
their fellow countrymen, decided to
become nursing aids, says the public
information bureau, Washington
They enrolled in training courses in
the Massachusetts General hospital
and other Boston hospitals, where
they soon became proficient in their
work Recently four of them, who
had practically completed their
courses. decided that they would like
to go back to Greece with the Ameri-
can mission which was just then about
to leave Through the Greek legation
they applied for permission to go with
this mission as members of the Amer
lean Red Cross.
Now they are not only serving their
own people, but are also creating a
feeling in Greece which cements the
long friendship of the Greeks with
America. Although no American
troops have been landed on Greek
soil. the people are nevertheless
pleased with the sight of an Ameri
can uniform, no matter what brancf
of the service it represents.

mons college in dietetics. domestic
science and home aid. These girl;
also expect shortly to sail for Greece
