GEORGIAN ARMY IS
 ATTACKING kUBAN COSSACKS

Paris, Thursday, April 10.-A dreary picture of conditions in the Caucasus is drawn in reports made by the AmreiCan food administra ton agents al Batum and at NoV0r tsiysk to the Paris headquarters 1A Aa Georgian government is described Ss irresponsi- ble and probably temporary, but nev- ertheiess the Georgian ar1tT is press ing north and attacking the kuban Cossacks in efforts to extend the Georgian boundaries, and thus making the situation more difficult for the Don Cossacks and the Kuban Cossacks who are operating against the Bolsheviki on the north with limited forces A British Warship at Novorossiysk is stabilizing the situation there.
 Both the Denikine government at Ekaterinodar and the Don Cossack government at Rostov are described as weak and the situation as chaotic generally, that there is danger that the
 BolshevilIi. with the ending of winter and the i'm prOvement of the roads, will overTun the entire territory. The re-
 port says it is now rumOred both gov ernments are ready to compromise
 with the Bolsheviki but that the vol
 unteer armies appear patriotic and willing to fight until they are extermi- mated.
 Considering the general public sen timent in the district. the report states that there seems to be no interest in allied aims and purposes and that the majority generally express regret that they did net espouse the German cause since the allies the refusing to assist in restoring order.
 The British occupancy in the south eru Caucasus, according to the report 1 extends from Baum to Ballu. but there is little evidence of British occu- l pancy elsewhere. Oil is being pro- i duced in small quantities at Ba6u. but | the local government is interfering. anG

FOG DELAYS ATTEMPT TO
 FLY ACROSS THE ATLANTIC

St. Johns, N. F., April 13.-Dense fog and drizzling rain today forced Harry G. Hawker, daring Australian aviator. again to postpone his attempt to fly across the Atlantic in quest of fame and the $50,000 prize offered by the London Daily Mail. Yesterday a blus- tery southeaster made hop off" inn possible
 Hawker plans to begin his adventure at the first signs of favoring wind and weather, but mariners wise in the lore of fog and rain said tonight it might be week before the misty curtain lifted, as thick weather is to be ex- pected at this season.
 Meanwhile the transatlantic flight is developing rapidly real race. En- couraged by the delays encountered by Hawker, Captain E. P. Raynham, Brit ish airman. is rushing the work of as- sembling his Martinsyde biplane which he hopes to have ready in time to take the air at least as soon as soon as Hawker's Sopwith machine hops off
 As the rivalry between the two camps increases, theer are indications | that Hawker and Commander Macken- zie Grieve. R. N.. his navigator, are ready to sacrifice every possible safe guard to the sporting desire of 'get-
 ting the jump on the other fellow" | The rival airmen had an opportunity to judge preparations made for the 1 flight by the other when Hawker today returned call made yesterday at his
 airdrome on Mount Pearl plateau by ! Raynham. who has erected a canvas ! hangar in a field at Quidividi. It was , surmised that this call was responsible for the announcement from Hawker's camp that he would essay the 1,9o0- mile flight to Great Britain. with the first clearing of the weather and even
 negative wind.

HINES WRITES OF INLAND
 WATERWAY ...SPORTATION

Washington. April 1S-Tnland wa tsi-Ndy transportation G the United StateS should be cc-s.dinated more closely with the rail,<i3 system, and the relationship of r,.tcs adjusted in proportion to the cost and desirability Of service, said Director General Hines in q letter to Senator Fletcher and a group of senators ans representatives interested in waterways. The letter, made public today. was in answer to inquiries from the members Of con greSS as to the railroad adniniStra- , tion's attitude towar7 waterways. and explained in detail past accomplish ments and future plans.
 Mr. Hines also proposed that if the railroads go pack to private control and She railroad administration is dis | banded the inland waterways be i placed under q governmental agency i lat least through an adequate experi- mental period
 ] T deem 1t highly important to pre- serve and strengthen m the public in ! terest the beginnings already made in demonstrating the utility of our inland waterways" said MT. Hines.
 T am a firm believer in the policy l that the great inland waterways of the country can be made economically very useful and that means should be found for making them of more bene- fit to the nation than they have been in the past
 Under the old form of private management railroads in this country
 had no substantial interest in acting
 as feeders to the waterways, and, of course, there was no other form of feeder available"
 Mr. Hines said that along the At

 made for putting in rates via water

 fair basis in competition with all-rail

Herr Neuring Was Seized When the War Ministry Was Stozrned by Delnonstrators-Was Thown Into the River Elbe and Was Shot He Tried to Swim to the Bank-Government Troops Refused to Attack the Mob-Marched Of After Surrendering Their Arms

minister of worship promised depu- tation that all the demands of the soldiers should be granted-od rates of pay and adequate food rations. =
 The official explanation of the trou- hle is that it arose through a misun- derstanding that the reduction of the pay of non-commissioned officers and men to peace rates ordered by the empire, but which does not yet apply to SaXony, Were to be enforced there. The Saxon government is applying to Berlin for the withdrawal of the or der.
 An official version of the affair says Minister Neuring received a deputa- tion and promised a general fulfllment of the wishes of the soldiers. Tn the course of time, the com munication continues, the wounded were joined by number of other sol diers who were partly armed and pre- vented people from entering or leaving 1 the building. Some of the armed sol- diers pushed their way into the inner i part of the ministry. An hnprudent young soldier, employed in the minis
 try as an orderly, became confused and threw two unloaded practice hand grenades into the chamber No one
 was injured by them.
 .''On the street q rumor started that Neuring had given orders to throw hand grenades. This was quite untrue. On this false rumro Neuring was murdered in a bestial manner | After this occurrence three uni formed men pushed their way into
 headquarters. saying they were mem bers of the Red Soldiers league. One
 had very defective knowledge of German. which proves the entire oc-
 currence was influenced by Russian agents.

MASSACRES IN KOREA PART
 THE JAPANESE POLICY

Philadelphia, Ap.il -Massacres reported in Korea were characterized as part of the Japanese policy of mil itary repression and injustice" by Korean officials who came to this city today to take part in the three days Korean congress which begins here to- morrow.
 The officials are Dr. Syngman Rhee, secretary of state of the Korean pro- visional government in Manchuria, and Henry Chung. one of the three Korean delegates to the peace conference at Paris.
 A cable late Saturday at the office of the Korean Independence league from the Korean representative in Shanghai, China, tells of hundreds of Korean men, women and children kill ed in the rebellion.
 "The revolution on the part of the Koreans since the provisional govern ment was set up March is orderly. and there is no reason for the kind of suppression the Japanese have be- gun" said MT Chung. Tt has been a passive revolution. Koreans have no weapons. The Japanese government and military officials have seen to that and why bloodshed is necessary I can not see. except that the Japanese gov ernment desires to put down the revo- lution for the independence and self determination of Korea at the sacrifice of any number of Korean lives
 The charge that Korea is swept by Bolshevism is absolutely false, as the record of the Koreans who fought in the war shows. More than 100 dele gates, representing the twenty million inhabitants of Korea. and three million Koreans in other countries, are expect ed to attend the congress, the chief purpose of which is to assist the inde- pendence movement in Korea and se- cure freedom from Japanese rule"

Paris. April 13 lBy the A. P).-Al- though no authoritative announcement has been made Of the terms of the set rlement of the -arre valley question by the council Of four, some of the French ncwsuapcIs claim that France is to have the right of operation of the mines .u perpe-lity.
 Other newspapers, however. say this is not exact and that France is to have the right O. operation of the coal mines for a term or years.
 According O this second theory, eventual extension of French control of the mines would depend upon the result Of plcb.scita which, according 10 the supposed terms of settlement, would be he'd in ten or fifteen years.
 The interpretation of the settlement bv some of the American delegates is fhat France will get the coal mines in perpctuity.
