MAYOR ISSUES
 WARRANT FOR COUNCIL SESSION

Mayor Clifford B. Wilson this morning sent out the warrant for the first meeting of the Common Council next Monday night. The council will form for the year at this meeting and Mayor Wilson will deliver his annual message to that body.

 The meeting on Monday night will also be flower night when gifts from admirers of the newly elected alder men will pour in on them as they take their seats in the council cham ber It is also expected that there will be much important business to come before the council.

Gen. March Says 5OO,OOO
 Minimum For Peace Army
THIS IS OPINION OF ARMY GENERAL STAFF AND
 ADMINISTRATION

Washington, Nov. A.---The opinion of the, army general staff and the ad- ministration is that peace time army of 500, 900 men is the minimum neces- sary to care for the national interest, General March, Chief of Staff, de clared today correcting an interpreta- tion of his annual report published Sunday. which placed the minimum at 250,000. General March emphasized that he never had changed his esti- mate of 500,000 as thes mallest upon which to rest the military power of the United States.
 General March, however, made it plain today that he was passing his estimate on the army corps as a prac- tical unit completely organized with all its elements for service Five corps on that basis would mean an army in excess of 1,00o, 600 men, which, skeletonized to 50 per cent of strength, would make the army of 800, 600 which the chief of staff recom- ,mends.

OVERDOSE OF NARCOTIC WAS
 GIVEN WOMAN


 An overdose of some narcotic was given today as the cause of death of Carrie Gary, colored, of 63 High street, who died in St Vincent's hos pital late Saturday night, one hour after she had been found unconscious in a dark hallway at 23 Lumber street
 It was at first believed that the wo- man was the victim of a dose of poi son, but an examination made today by Medical Examiner Dr. S. M Gar lick showed that a narcotic taken N too large quantity was the probable cause of death.
 Immediately after the woman's s death, 8 number of her friends were taken to police headquarters and questioned, but no evidence of foul play could be secured. The woman is said to have been suffering from a number of chronic diseases, and on Saturday night she told a number of friends that she was extremely i'll.

SUPREME COUNCIL TO
 SEND NOTE RELATIVE
 TO SIGNING PROTOCOL
SUDDEN DEPARTURE OF PLENIPOTENTI. ARIES HAS CLOSE CONNECTION
 WITH ADJOURNMENT OF U. s. SENATE

Paris, Nov. 24-The supreme council today decided to send the Gereman delegation here a note in reply to the note sub mitted by the Germans inform ing the council of the depar- ture for Berlin of the plenpo- tentiaries sent in connection with the protocol guaranteeing the carrying out of the ar1nis- tice terms, which Germany has been informed she will have to sign before the peace treaty is put into effect. The notes contents were not given out today. ..
 The council received advtces from Sir George Clerk. it's representative in the negotiations with Hungary, that he would leave Budapest this evening for Paris
 This was announced that the Ger man and the Polish plenipotentiartes discussing the question of Danzig would hold meetings in Paris
 The sudden departure of the com mission headed by Herr Won Strnson, delegated by the German government to sign for Germany the protocol guaranteeing enforcement Of the peace treaty and to exchange ratift- cations of the document, is regarded in American peace delegation circles as having close connection with the news of the adjournment of the Unit ed States Senate without ratifyung the treaty.
 The American opinion, however, does not agree with the majority French criticisms that the Germans are using the failure of the Senate to ratify the treaty as a pretext for avoiding fulhIlment of the peace terms It Is suggested that the Ger mans are hesitating because they are confronted with a situation in which the absence of American members from the commissions charged with supervision of execution of the treaty deprives them of what they are SUD- posed to consider as @ counter poise to the points of view of their former Eufopean enemies
 The supreme councils note to the German delegation is understood to be a sort of summons to the Germans to make known whether they want to sign the protocol and make the treaty effective or not It IS not un- derstood to ioe couched as an ultima tuno.

NOT PARTY ISSUE
Will Hays Rejects Challenge of
Homer Cummings.
Republican Platform Will Not
Have League Plank.

Fort Wayne, Ind, June 14.-Will H.
Hays, chairman of the national COM
mittee of the Republican party. in an
address last night, rejected the chal-
lenge of Homer S. Cummings. chair
man of the national Democratic COM
mittee, recently made in Chicago, that
the Republicans make a partisan is
sue of the league of nations.
Mr.. Hays said:
1.-The conclusion of the treaty of
peace, including all its provisions
when we know what they are-is in
no sense a partisan question. 1t is an
American question. In the same spirit
in which Republicans during the re-
cent war measured their every act by
how they could contribute most to eff
, fective action, so now they are deter
mined to meet this new phase of the
war problem in that revived spirit of
fervent Americanism which is the
glorified result of our experience of
fire and blood, moving with full ap-
probation of this country's duty as
responsible factor in the world of to-
day and tomorrow. with the earnest
determination to do all that possibly
can be done toward the maintenance
of peace without sacrificing our own
supreme nationalism, the preservation
of which in its integrity is the greatest
safeguard for the future, not only for
the citizens of this country, but for all
peoples everywhere"
Back to Peace Times.
Speaking for his party. which now
controls both branches of congress.
Mr. Hays declared:
I'VE shall bring this government
back to the limitations of the consti-
tuition in times of peace"
He dwelt on the preservation of
our institutions" and patriotism"
Among his declarations were the fol-
lowing:
with all our power we will strive
to prevent the further spread of So
cialism.
I'VE have promised a forward-step-
ping. as we'll as forward-looking
program for labor, for business and
for the farmer, and those promises
we will keep.
THAT criminal element organized.
or unorganized, called I. w. w, or
anything else that goes about this
country seeking whom it can destroy.
that thing is a traitor to this country.
nothing else, and should be trea-ed as
such.
1.-The Republican party will not for
get, in the stress of othe- matters,
that its protective policies have made
the wages of our laborers the highest
IN the world.
"In the great readjustment ahead
business must have sympathetic help,
not antagonistic curtailment.
There must be strong federal regu-
lation. but not federal ownership.

tried to interrupt him. Several men
in the gallery unfurled a red flag in

Lord Robert Cicil was naming the
trainers of the league covenant, a man
shouted, What about Ireland?" Lord
Robert quickly retorted:
ireland was ably represented, If I
may say so, by General SHUTS and
myself"
The audience cheered the speakers
arguments for admitting Germany to
the league but the applause was pune
tuated by cries of protest, one man
shouting:
you bloody traitor" Many others
shouted, Put him out" and cheered
loudly when the man was elected.
Covenant Not Perfect.
Lord Robert. who spoke for nearly
an hour. said that nobody would claim
the covenant of the league of nations
was perfect.
But it is a living organism he
continued, which will grow and adapt
itself to requirements. There is a
charge that the league is an organiza-
ton which favors the British empire
but such criticisms have forgotten that
virtually no important decision is pos
sible without the consent of the coun-
Gil in which there is no probability
whatever that the British empire will
ever have more than one vote.
IF the league is to be a reality, Ger
many and Russia must be included be-

she perhaps has less need of the
league than any other nation Her
European position is relative stronger
than ever in her history. Her fleet is
unbeaten and more powerful than be-
fore the war. Her army is larger and
better trained than ever, and even on
the economic side she is in better case
than those who before the war were
described as her rivals.
I'm regard to Germany's admission
into the league, reasonable guaran-
tees of the sincerity Of German pro-
fessions are necessary and a certain
novitiate is needed, but the shorter
that novitiate can be safely made the
better. 1 see no reason why it should
