POLISH QUESTION
COMMITTEE
THE WHOLE PROBLEM OF BOUN-
DAIRY LINES is STILL IN
ABEYANCE.
TROOPS SENT TO KEEP ORDER
Gloomy View of Work of Big Board Is
Taken by Writer-Pinchon Quoted
as Saying League Of Nations
Is Not Indispensable.

Pars.-The council of 10 fruitlessly
discussed the Polish question Satur-
day, and it grows clearer that the Ger
man attitude regarding Poland, as in
Dictated by the breaking off of the Pos
sen negotiations, gives rise to the be-
lief that while they lost the war on
the western front they gained in the
east
The military party obstinately cling
to this view, and there are many indi-
cations that the orders of the Weimar
government will receive little obedi-
ence. The council has arranged for
Polish troops, which includes an APP
preciable number of French officers,
but this was the only decision reached.
The whole question of Polish boun-
daries is still in allegiance waiting for
the commission report, which has been
referred back again, the commission
having stated it was unable to see a
reason for a change. The chief point
at issue is the giving of Danzig to
Poland, which would bring within i'm
mediate occupation the, railway run
ming from Danzig into Poland.
Officials Anxious.
Washington, ID. C.-Advices to the
state department Monday from three
widely separated European sources
tended to increase the anxiety of Of
ficials over the situation in Hungary
Bolshevik elements apparently had
assumed complete control of the gov.
eminent of Budapest, with a threat
of renewal Of hostilities.
There was no indication as to the
extent of the control of the new re-
gime beyond the capital, and in the
absence of this and other details of
ficials were reluctant to discuss the
situation at length. 1t appeared from
advices, however, that the crisis re-
suited from the line of demarkation
established by the peace conference in
circumscribing the territory of Hun
gary and the general economic stu
alton in Budapest.
The recognition of extreme. claim:

vaks and the establishment of neutra

was to be held by the French unit

Washington.-Sin hostilities end

THE VICTORY LOAN.

The fifth loan, which the united
States is to raise next month, differs
in several important respects from
the four loans that have preceded IT,
Instead of issuing bonds to run Tor
period of some twenty years, the treas
ury will offer to the subscription ol
citizens seven billion dollars in FEEDER
al notes redeemable in a much shorter
time-probably five years. That Is be-
cause the maNet is already so well
supplied with bonds-so choked with
Them we might say-that it seemed
hazardous step to add to the load so
enormous quantity as seven billions.
No one has any question of the sol
vency of the country, but the amount
of capital that is ready to tie itself
I'D in twenty-year investments Is, after
all, limited.
Fiye-year notes are much more at
tractive to the investor for they are
more likely to remain at par or near
it, and they are better for the country.
since they will return the borrowed
capital into the ordinary channels OF
business much more quickly than long
term bonds.
The secretary of the treasury is au-
! thorized to issues notes of four differ.
ent kinds, having each a different rate
of interest according as it is exempt
or non-exempt from taxation. On ono
series only estate and inheritance tax
can be collected; on another the sur
taxes of the income tax and excess
profit taxes can be laid third is ex-
empt from all taxation up to holding
of $4,000, but beyond that is liable to
income and excess-profit taxes; a Attn
is fully taxable under the Federal law
The notes are convertible at par, that
is, they may at pleasure be exchanged
for notes of a different series bearing
the same date Of issue.
The bill creates a sinking fund for
the retirement of all bonds and notes,
and it is calculated at the treasury
that an annual charge of 81 ,250 900, OOO
will wipe out the great war debt OF the
country in twenty-five years.
The bill contains two other impor
tant provisions. One extends credits
to the Allies for IS months after the
war is officially ended, in case they
wish to buy wheat at the government
price or property and military sup
plies owned by the United States il
Europe. The other permits the Wal
Finance Corporation to make advances

New York.-Wm. S. Deegan, secre-
tary of the Postal Telegraph company,
issued statement concerning the
reasons" for the removal March % by
Mr.. Burleson of Clarence H. Mackay,
president, and other officials Of the
company. Mr.. Deegan declared that
I'VE shall not surrender or abandon
our fight against Burleson's usurpa-
tions."
The order removing the officials
was served at noon without previous
notice, said the statement, which con-
tinued:
"Burleson gives us as a reason for
the order that we have failed to
carry out his orders and instructions.
We do not know what Burleson 'fe-
fers to in the way of orders and in
structions. This is all a pretense.
Distortion" Alleged.
The statement by Burleson that
we failed promptly to put into effect
the wage schedule is a distortion. We
announced an increase in wages of all
our employees on March 5, effective
from January 1, which was more gen
erous than that ordered by Burleson
The Burleson schedule was based en-
tirely on the Western Union plan of or.
ganization, which is different from
ours and it was impossible to apply tc
our organization. Burleson's operating
board admitted this and told us to dc
the best we could. Burleson's state
ment on the wage schedule is DELHI
crate attempt to distort facts.
I'VE did refuse to assent to a prop
osition made by Burlesons operating
board of Bell telephone, Western I'm
ion officials to increase the telegraph
rates, but this never reached the form
of an order. Burleson carefully re
trains from mentioning this and thi.
may be why he has removed our Off
