Mrs. Wilson was charmingly gown

She wore with this costume a hat Of a
darker blue satin, faced with black

She carried a round fat fan made of

Mrs. Wilson seemed to have such a

tions to enforce peace, was family
hissed when Senator James p Reed
(Miss) mentioned his name while
delivering an impassioned and ex-
traordinary speech against the ac-
ceptance of the league by the United

scattered and seemed about to break
into a storm all over the hall when
Senator Reed shouted at the top of his
voice:
Don't hiss the President of the
United States. You may criticise him.
don't hiss him. He is our President"
This demonstration against the Presi-
dent was provoked by man in the
audience who cheered the President
after Senator Reed had quoted from one
Of the Presidents books that Govern
ment is sustained by organized force,
and that the League of Nations must be
sustained by the force of arms, a force
v Inch must be largely supplied by the
United States.

PARIS, Aug. 28.-John F. Dulles,
American member Of the Reparations
Commission, sailed for America to-
day announcing he would go directly
to Washington to plead as an individ-
ual that American interests be pro-
tected before the separation of the
commission, on which America
through his retirement, is now without
representation.
The situation, Mr.. Dulles explained
to THE SUN, is fraught with the grav-
est dangers to American interests for
the reason that the Germans, owing to
their necessities, have asked the Allies
to consider the treaty as already eff
fective with respect to its economic
clauses, to which the Allies have
agreed.
AS a result the Preparations Com
mission is now functioning in all re-
spects as a permanent body under the
treaty, the Germans having their own
commission cooperating with the AL
lies at Versailles. The British member
took his seat yesterday as a perma-
nent member, along with the repre-
sentatives Of four other nations.
The commission, Mr.. Dulles said. al
ready had started to settle important I
matters affecting all countries, including
the United States In proof of this he
cited the fact that two days ago the
Germans submitted long list of sup
plies they wished the commission u
purchase Immediately in the United
States, including 10000 tons of meats,
100000 tons OF cereals. 100000 tons
of phosphates. $4,000 tons of copper and
large amount of cotton.
Under section 235 OF the treaty such
supplies should be paid for from the
first German reparation payment OF 20,-
100000 marks If the Reparation Com
mission consented. This shows the i'm
portance, Mr.. Dulles contends, of hav-
ing an American on the Reparations
Commission. Although the German
memorandum asserts these supplies are
Indispensable. no other country is able
to furnish them Immediately. Tie Brit
| ish already have objected. because they
wish to cut down purchases IN America
and do not want the Germans to us.
reparation money for purchases there.
Reparations Commission will decide
against the Germans unless a strong
| man is present to fight for America s
interest
Another important matter, Mr.. Dulles
| pointed out, was the ALLEGATION of Ger
man merchant ships involving those
taken by South American countries,
Great Britain disputes the validity OF
these seizures. while America contends
these countries have the right to keep
| the ships Also involved are n dozen
tankers flying the German flag and
owned by the Standard OIL Company
! The British are after these shLps.
Aside from other matters regarding
the treaty the gravity of the present
reparations situation cannot be exag-
gerated," said Dulles, who has also been
a member OF the treaty execution and
| Rhineland commissions.

GOVERNMENTS BIG
OIL LAND SUITS FAIL
Southern Pacific and 227
Other Defendants Win.

Los ANGELES, Aug. 2s.--Holding that
the evidence OF fraud was inconclusive,
Federal District Judge Bledsoe dismissed
to-day six consolidated suits filed by the
Government against the Southern Paci-
hc Company and 22l other companies
and individuals.
The suit sought to have set aside
patents TO valuable oil lands in the San
Joaquin Valley.
The litigation involved 165, 900 acres
of oil bearing land valued at s421, ,000,-
O00 The Government alleged the
Southern Pacific Company obtained pat
ents to the land on affidavits declaring
It to be chiefly valuable for agricul-
tural purposes.
Judge Bledsoe held that the Govern
ment surveyor had returned the lands
In question as non mineral bearing, and
that for several years the Southern Pa
cifc Company held these lands at prices
ranging from s2.60 to IS an acre. These
points, he said. were strong evidence
Of the absence of fraud in the Southern

Wilson In a message to Congress to-
day, will cost s1.5O6, 6,776.6s. An ap-
preparation of ss25.OOO to pay the
peace making bills till the end
of this year, which he regards as the
extreme date to which it will be neces-
sary to maintain the Peace Commis-
sion abroad, was asked by Mr.. Wilson.
These figures do not include the
cost of telegraph and cable service.
for which 1t is explained that the bills
have not been received, though the
expenses will be large"
From the itemized statement sub
mitted by the President it is not ap-
parent whether the expense of the
transport George Washington in her
yoyagings is included. Seemingly it
is not. Likewise it is impossible to
determine whether the item of salaries
paid includes the salaries Of army
and navy officers or of regular civil
officers of the Government.
The small amount mentioned as rep
resentlng SIS, ,95-gives
rise to the impression among those who
have hastily looked over the statement
that only salaries of extraordinary EN-
ployees are included.
More than 1900 people were included
iu the personnel of the delegation. the
President states. He expressed the con-
viction that considering the size Of the
task and the high cost Of living now pre-
yailing in France the expense is 'very
modest"
Immediate occasion for the Presi-
dents communication on this interest
ing subject was that since June 80
there has been no appropriation from
which 70 meet these expenses except
the emergency fund of the State De-
partment. Congress has been distinctly
leisurely in attending to requests fol
! money to meet these expenses.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-A new eco
nomic and industrial policy for the
United States was launched to-day
when leaders of labor gathered In
council here determined to use their
efforts to obtain full cooperation with
the Government in holding wages at
their present level and the bringing
down of the high cost of living.
Leaders of the federated railroad
shop unions sent message to the
100000 men taking "a strike vote
urging that action be delayed to
await the outcome of the cost OF liv-
ing fight. This message was sent out
when it became evident that labor
leaders were prepared to accept the
new idea and that the shopmen might
stand alone.
1t was made clear that the new
policy is a temporary and trial one.
If it is not successful probably there
will ensue general demand for
higher wages.
Secretary of the Interior Lane m
public statement to-day urged the
calling by the President of an fmme-
diate conference of capital and labor
and others at interest to solve the
economic situation at present con-
fronting the country.

dent Gonipers presiding. 1t tooh up
Immediately the pressing labor ques-
tions Of the hour. President Gompers
hurried to Washington from New
York to take a hand in their settle
ment,
Advocates OF the Plumb plan for the
railroads, representatives of the steel
workers and of the Actors Equity
Association were heard. In each in
stance no official statement OF results
was made and comment was refused.
Mr.. Gompers said after the final
session that he would make no state
ment tonight He indicated he might
issue one tomorrow on the pressing
problems involved.
1t is understood that the head of
organized labor has taken a definite
stand and FASTENED to Washington
to check radicalism In the labor move
ment.
There was strong indication that the
big chief will refuse to accept the
Plumb plan, and that he is supporting
hn Ir,ot Nfe,4t. 20
spect to delay on strikes for more
wages until the results of the cost
of living campaign are known.
1t seems evident that conservative
labor leadership is prepared fully to
support the new policy on trial. That
it will furnish test Of leadership and
the ability of union heads to hold their
forces in line is certain.
