24O,OO0 RUSS WAR CAPTWES

Poland and Other Countries Object to Their Passing
 Borders.
MANY ARE INFECTED
 WITH RADICAL IDEAS
Expense of Maintaining Them Becomes a Burden
 to the Germans.

Paris, Friday. July 2s.---(By A. P.) ---The supreme council of the peace conference today discussed the dispo- sition of 240, 900 Russian prisoners of war still in Germany at the request of the Allies after the armisice and who are being fed at Entente ex- pense.
 AS many are infected with Bolshev- ism. Poland and other countries through which they would return to Russia have objected to giving them passage Moreover, 1t Is held, they would either be forced into the Bol- sheyik army or killed if sent home The expense of maintaining them in Germany, however, is becoming our- densome. The council, unanimous to- day to reach a decision, referred the question to its military advisers for report.
 The council received a protest from the Sheik of Aidin, Asia Minor, con- corning atrocities which the Greeks are alleged to have committed upon the Turks near Aidin. It was decided to send a military mission to investi- gate. The American delegation will cable to Washington for instruc- tions.
 The council has taken no action concerning the punishment of the former emperor of Germany, and has not even considered the report from the commission on responsibilities which does not favor the peace con- ference allowing Field Marshal von Htndeuburg or anyone else to be sub stituted for the former monarch.
 The council appears to be firm in the conviction which Is held by mill itary officials of the entente powers that William Hohenzollern must be punished, as it would be impossible to obtain the punishment of military. naval and civil officials in Germany who are charged with atrocities if the former emperor is exempted
 The councils appointment of Gen eral F. H. H. Allenby of the British army to the duty of adjusting differ ences between the Greek and Italian forces in Asia Minor is regarded as the best means of disposing of fric- ton there, because it is believed the Turks will be impressed by the united action of the Allies. It is hoped the Greeks and Italians will withdraw behind lines which General Allenby will outline.
 The problem of occupation in the Rhineland province arising from the withdrawal of a majority of the British and American troops, was also considered today. The question tied and all that remains to be de- cided upon is the exact number of effectives and the proportion of the force of occupation to be provided by each of the Allies.

TRANSPORTATION
 BOSS IN DARIEN
 SUED FOR $2,Ooo

Andrew Taylor, undertaken, garage proprietor and boss of all transporta- ton in Darien, who has figured in two breach of promise suits, was sued today in the Superior Court by Dor othy MacMillan, a wealthy Darien woman. who claims her furniture was damaged while being carried in one of Taylor's trucks. She asks s2,00O damages.
 It is alleged that the furniture was transported last March, but the work was done so negligently by Taylor's employees that the goods were broken, scratched and soiled This claim for damages came up on a counterclaim to a suit for S90 damages brought by Taylor, who said he had not been paid for moving the furniture from Mrs. MacMillan's Darien home to a stor- age warehouse in Stanford Both actions are returnable to the Sep tember term of court.

FIGURE IN CONTROVERSY
 HAS RESIGNED

Washington, July 19-Lieut. Col. Samuel T. Ansel, former acting judge advocate general of the army, and the central figure in the controversy within the War Department regard ing military justice. handed his resig- nation to Secretary Baker today.
 Colonel Ansen is understood to have taken this action in the hope that he might bring more forcefully before the public the fight which he is making to have the military trials radically changed. He has maintain ed in hearings before Congressional committees and in speeches before law organizations that under present conditions a private in the army could not hope for a fair trial.
 Secretary Baker would not say to- day what action he would take on Colonel Ansell's resignation. It Is generally expected it will be accepted.

BOSTON STRIKE
 On THIRD DAY.;
 ND SETTLEMENT

Boston, July 19-Because of ad- verse weather conditions, commuters suffered greater inconvenience today by the continued tie-up of the Bos- ton eleveated railway system. The strike entered it's third day and al- though workers, shoppers and visi- tors were afforded somewhat better facilities for entering and leaving the city by train and auto buses, methods of transportat tion within the business districts were still entirely inadequate to handle the crowds.
 Meanwhile efforts to find a basis of adjustment of the controversy over wages, were renewed. The concilia- tors saw some reason to hope the deadlock over the appointment of a third member to the proposed board of arbitration will be broken by the selection of Councilman Francis J. w. Ford, who has been acting mayor. James H. Vahey, counsel for the car men, and W. H. Barnum, general counsel for the railway have been ac-' cepted as members of this board

 After the parade, London, which enjoyed a special business holiday gave itself up to merrymaking The authorities provided four huge areas for dancing on Hyde Green and Re gents Park, old time country dances being first on the program. Else where, military bands gave concerts and pageants and scenes from the war were given by the theatrical members.
 As d plenipotentiary to the cefe- bration. thanksgiving services were held in Westminister Abbey, St. Paurs Cathedral and other churches on Wednesday. Copies of a special order of service were distributed to the schools of the city for use and at joint meeting of London schools. 10000 children took part in the exer- ises
 Not only in London today was peace celebrated but throughout the vast dofninions of the British empire.
 In every English city, town and hamlet a peace carnival was held. Re ligious services processions and sport ts comprised the programs. In some places, particularly seaside resorts battles of flowers featured the day.
 Everywhere returned heroes were honored, whether in khaki or multi. Those who did not return from the battlefelds, however, were not for gotten. Prayers were offered in tri- bute to the fallen, and many a shrine dedicated to the memory of a dead hero bore rs floral tribute.
 Tonight there will blaze from hill and mountain tops the flare of fires kindled in honor of the return of peace.
 The navy will give a big display off the mouth of the Thames.

New York, July 19.---The man or woman who buys pair of shoes around the first of next October must be prepared to pay from 90 to 40 per cent. more than the present prices. This warning is voiced by retailers, wholesalers and tanners through their trade organizations, by individuals en- gagged in the shoe and leather bus mess, and by the well informed trade papers.
 There are two paramount reasons given for this situation. They are:
 l. The cost of raw materials. prtn- ctpally hides. has advanced to unpre- cedented prices.
 g. The wages paid to labor in all branches of the shoe making industry have advanced from 100 to 250 per cent.
