there is some complaint about
me saying so much about that

lot of people think that the
country is better off without its

Belgium Lays Claim to Territories III

Paris, Jan. 27.-One OF the queS-
tions which the supreme coullcll was
expected to take up today was the ulUl-
mate fate Of the German colohles'
France and Great Britain, 1t is de-
clared, are agreed that under no con-
s;deration shall the colonies revert TO
Germany. One reason for such de-
cision is that it would render 1t I'M
nossible for Germany to establish
submarine bases in her colonial pos
sessions. The American attitude is as
vet unreVealed.
A prornine ent official declared to The
Associated Press today that should the
Franco-British viewpoint prevail, the
German Kamerun would be taken
over by the French in accordance with
an agreement reached by Great Brit
kin and France. Belgium lays claim
to that part Of the Congo which she
conquered by force of arms, the Bel
gian troops having captured Tabora
and the territory lying beyond the
western slopes Of Lake Victoria N.Y.

strip of territory along the left bank
Of the Congo, the delineation, Of
course, to be settled amicab1y with

ing given to the latter.

Defender to Present Case.

New Haven, Jan. 27.-Mrs. Annie
F. Monahan will be placed on trial
tomorrow, charged with murder of
her third husband, John P, on June
IS, 1917. There are seven counts in
the complaint, and the woman has
been in Jail since her arrest. The
marriage to her brother-in- law was
one week after the death of Joseph
Monahan, the second husband. The
first husband died some years ago.
Mrs. MOnahan was once before arrest
ed, charged with murder of her niece
Jennie MOnahan whose life insurance
was in her favor. Although the case
was ready for trial evidence was not
taken and the woman was finally re-
leased. Later, came the death of two
husbands, and Coroner Mix found
that John died from poison. The
bodies of Joseph and Jnnie were ex-
humed and examined and poison is
said to have been found in them.

RIVAL UNIONS IN
HAVERHILL CONFLICT
Boot and Shoe Workers and the Shoe
Workers Protective Unions
Engage in Wrangle.

HaVerhill, Mass, Jan. 21.-The con-
f1ict between the Boot and Shoe Work
ers' union and the Shoe Workers Pro
tective union rival organizations for
control of the shoe operatives of this
city, was reflected today in a demon
stration and picket Gordon at the plant
of the Austin Perry company. The
occasion was the inauguration of an
agreement between the Perry COM
pany and the 3. and S. w. union by
which the latter's wages and working
conditions were accepted as govern
ing the conduct Of the plant.
The effect of the new agreement,
according to leaders of the S. w. P.
union, was to exclude 400 Of it's men,
bers from employment. These work.
ers established a line of picketS
around the factory and later marched
to the s. w. P union headquarters,
where the situation was discussed.
Several factories here have dis
placed S. w. p contracts with agree
ments with the b. and s. w. union.

MEN APPEAL FOR WORK
Several Hundred of New Haven's I'm
employed Visit Mayor Fitzgerald
and Ask for Aid.

New Haven Jan. 27.-Several hun
dred unemployed men this morning
held a meeting on the Central Green
and appointed q committee which
called upon Mayor Fitzgerald and re-
puested work. Most of the men
claimed that they had made visits to
the industrial plants.
The mayor listened to the commit
tee and said he would try and find
places for them at the rate of 25 Il
day hoping that even more than this
number would be provided for. The
gathering was orderly
Mayor Fitzgerald will bring the
matter of unemployment before the
board of aldermen tonight suggesting
that steps be taken to hasten street
improvements to meet the cost of
which he proposes million dollar
bond issue. There are new bridges
also to be built and new sewers of
considerable length are to be under
taken.
The mayor in commenting upon the
call made upon him by a committee
of unemployed said he offered to give
a number of them work at street
cleaning but this was declined on the
ground that the men were factory
workers and to take outdoor work SO
suddenly might mean colds and doctor
bills.

100000 CAN BE SENT y
HOME EACH MONTH
General March Says Added Trans
portation Facilities Will Speed Up
DemobiIization Of Army.

Washington, Jan. 27.-GeneraI
March, chief of staff, informed the
senate military committee today that
shipping arrang gements had been made
by which 100000 men might be trans
ported home monthly and that all of
the American ENpeditionary Force
could be returned home and demo-
bilized within six months.
There are still about 1855, 900 men in
camp in the United states and all will
be demobilized within a month from
today except those retained for "Over-
head" duty. General March added. Up
to noon last Saturday, he said, 1O4, 600
men had arrived from overseas.
How many Americans will be held
abroad in the army of occupation is
to be determined by President Wilson,
General March stated, but more
Americans already have been desig
mated for return home than originally
proposed by Marshal Foch. He indi-
Gated that ten divisions had been sug
gested as Americas contribution to
the army of occupation
General March said q regular army
of 500, 900 was proposed.
Speaking of the 7S5, 900 men still in
camp at home. General March said:
Every single man will be out Of
camp within one month from today
except those retained for overhead
duty"
Several senator's said they had re-
ceived many complaints because dvi-
sions which had seen long service
overseas apparently were to be the last
sent home.
This policy, General March said,
was strictly in accordance with mill
tary plans to hold experienced men in
the army of occupation, adding:
1T will keep men who will not 1n-
duly excite the Germans or who will
be able to run over them if neces-
sary''

NJ ADOO SEES need Of
ADDING TO WATERWAYS
Declares Five Year Govern
ment Railroad Control is
Necessary to This End.

Santa Barbara, Cal, Jan. CIV
G. McAdoo, former director general
of railroads and former secretary Of
the treasury, made public today a
telegram in which he urged ffve-year
government control Of the railroads
as a necessity for the development of
inland waterways and for the co-ordi-
nation of the railroads and waterways
with the new American merchaa at ma
rine. The telegram, addressed to AL
bert krell, chairman Of the Miami
and Erie Improvement committee. Of
the Cincinnati chamber of commerce,
said:
1T scents to me futile to expead
great sums of money on the develop
ment Of our inland waterways unless
our government adopts an Intelligent
policy about railroad control. The flu
ture of waterways development is alb
sclutely dependent upon a govern
meat control which will enforce the
operation of the waterways and the
railways and q cO-Ordinated and AZ
ticulated system which will give the
people the benefits of an efficient COM
binatOa of water and rail facilities.
This cannot be accomplished under
the present railroad law, which pro-
Vides that the railroads cannot be
controlled by the government for a
longer period than p months after
the return Of peace. Within -
months period no substantial devel-
Opment of existing waterways can be
made, nor can their operation in so
brief period afford any adequate
test of their values.
Upon the return of the railroads
to private ownership, which must be
made within p mOnths' period. as the
present law provides, the cut-throat
competition of the railroads under
private control with the partially de-
veloped waterways Will effectively de-
stroy water transportation as hereto
fore and the peoples investment in
these facilities will continue to be Of
little if any value.
4 have urged the congress to eX-
tend the period of federal control of
the railroads for five years because
that will give us time to develop somo
of the most important existing water
routes, coordinate them with the
railroads and prove their worth as q
part of a great American transporta-
ton system
Il also feel that the government
should control the railroads and in
land Waterways for a period of five
wears so that they may in turn be
co-ordinated with our government
merchant marine which was built at
a cost Of more than $2,0OO,OOO,
and which under existing law the gov
ernment controls for a five year pe-
riod.
UNLESS we look at this problem
with vision and from the standpoint
solely of the American people il
stead of from the standpoint
of the selfish interest of private rail
road owners, private steamship own
ers, private shippers, private invest
ors or any other single class, we shall
not measure up to our obligations 20
the American people nor realize the
great opportunities and destiny that
lie ahead of us.
