 ARE ENLISTED

WARRINGTON. D. C.. June 7.-- P)-General Peyton c. March issued 8 statement today saying that enlist ments for service in the army of oc- cupation now total 50,000. A cam paign for these enlistments has been conducted since shortly after the signing of the armistice. as it is desired that all men who saw service in France during the war be return ed to their homes. The war depart ment is bringing back the soldiers from France as fast as they can be relieved and expects to have all the men home before fall.
 The chief of stan said that the ma jority of the new enlistments were for three years instead of one. It is optional with any man enlisting in the United States army under the present regulations whether or not his term of service shall continue for one or three years. For the pres ent the reserve clause is abolished.
 Army ofncials believe they will have no trouble in enlisting enough men to relieve all the soldiers in the army who are entitled to their re- lease.

 BECOME STALE.

TOLEDO. June 7.--P)-Jack Demp. sey, challenger of the heavyweight title, resumed his training this morning after four-days rest. He is taking all precautions against go' ing stale before the big bout Is call. ed. After ten days of work he will again take a rest, only doing the lightest of exercises. Dempsey's condition is excellent and he firmly intends to keep it that way. Willard, on the other hand, needs lots of fast, hard work in order that he may step into the ring in his normal fighting condition. It will be necessary for the champion tc train every day between now ane the Fourth. Jess will take no rests during his training period. as he realizes that his long period of idle
 ness has not left him in any tot good a fighting shape.
 Both of the men are confident re
 garding their success in the fight but followers of the ring. even Rick ard, say that 1t is impossible to pick the winner at this date. From al appearances the men will be evenly matched when the starting gont

LABOR TROUBLE
 IN MANY CITIES

LONDON, June 6.--R)-The execu- tion of two Bavarian communists, Le- vine and Nissen, has caused an ex- pression of general unrest in the southern portion of Germany. Re ports are received of strikes in many of the Bavarian towns, the greatest trouble being manifest in Nuremburg and Munich. The peasants and work ing people are aroused over the exc. cutions and are refusing to perform any work under a government which allows such killings.
 For some time there has been a strike on in Leipzig and it is now reported that street fights are occur ring between the laborers and sol diers. The strikers in that city have created several disturbances and are disputing the governments authority to keep them orderly.
 The city of Leipzig is reported to be in a general state of disorder with every chance of serious trouble aris- ing from the strike now on.

IMMIGRANT LAW IS INTRODUCED
 IN THE SENATE
MEASURES PROHIBITING MIMI. GRAFTON INTO UNITED STATES FOR NEXT TEN YEARS ARE IN. PRODUCED IN THE SENATE AT TODAY'S SESSION.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June T. R-In the senate this morning there were introduced bills which provide for the prohibition of any immigra. lon for period of five years. 1t ;e thOt these bills will receive the sup port of a large number of the mem. bers. regardless of their political be lief. A prominent federal official re- gently made the statement that there would be plenty of employment for Americans in the United States pro- viding there was no great influx of foreigners. There has been some agitation toward the drafting of bill prohibiting any Germans from entering the country for several years, but the measures brot up to- day do not apply to any nationality in particular
 DEMAND REDUCTION.
 The republican leaders in the house are raising their voices ln concerted cry for a reduction in the expenses of the government It is demanded by them that the various departments and bureaus of the ad- ministration cut their requested ap propriationS down to minimum figure. The republicans are closely scrutnizing all appropriation re- quests which come up and where ever there is the slightest chance of a reduction being made it is de manded.
 They are planning to cut several large items from the billion dollar army appropriation bill. claiming that there is no necessity for such an immense sum of money being ex- pended for military purpose. It is evident that the republicans in the house have adopted "economy" as their slogan this session, seemingly unmindful of whether or not 1t af- fects seriously any important gov ernment projects.

Below deck the customs men began a thoro search of the engine rooms and quarters of the crew. It was after they had discovered a quantity of whiskey that they re- ceived their burns. Every member of the Chinese crew emphatically denies having aything to do with the officers injuries, claiming that it was a mere accident. While it is not thot that either of the men will die. their burns are exceedingly painful and will no doubt leave scars.

STRIKERS SAY
 INTEND RETURN
 TO THEIR WORK
ACCOUNT OF OPPOSITION OF RE. TURNED SOLDIERS BELIEVED WINNIPEG STRIKE WILL SOON END; MAY RETURN TO THEIR WORK BY NEXT MONDAY.

WINNIPEG. June 7.-P)-By req son of the strong opposition which has developed among the returned soldiers it is probable that the labor troubles in this city will soon come to an end. At first the soldiers were inclined to favor the laborites. believing their claims to be just and right. It soon became manifest how ever, that there was large element of Bolshevism and anarchy in the labor unions and to this the former soldiers objected.
 A great many of the labor delega- tions have announced emphatically that they intend to return to work by Monday morning if their leaders have rejected any fair offer of set clement in the meantime. The ma jority of the union employees are evidencing a desire to get the trou- ble over and have conditions become normal again. The city officials firmly believe that the crisis of the strike has been reached and it is only a matter of time until all the iaburers hove returned to their em- ployment Losing what sympathy had ever had from the military part of the city's population, the outlook for the strikers is not particularly pleasant. There is developing an undercurrent of feeling against the foreigners who are affiliated with the unions, as much of the anarchis- tic agitation is laid at their doors.

The outcome of this trouble in the union ranks is being awaited with the keen- est interest. There is a general be- lief that some of the unions will re- turn to their work Monday regardless of the action of the committee.

LEAGUE NOT BE A PARTY ISSUE
 SAYS CUMMlNS
CHAIRMAN OF DEMOCRATIC MA TIONAL COMMITTEE PREDICTS THAT THE SENATE WILL RATI- FY LEAGUE OF NATIONS; CAN NOT WELL REFUSE.
Predicts Senate
 Will Ratfy' It

DENVER. June 7.-P)-A predic- tion was made today by Chairman Cummings of the democratic national committee that the senate would rati- fly the league of nations. He believes that when the question comes to a final vote, there is no doubt but what those that favor the league will be in the majority.
 Chairman Cummings asserted the league could never become party issue as it would never be recognized by the democratic party as such. This party is whole-heartedly in favor of the league because of the vast bene- fit it will work for humanity and not as an issue with the republicans. With the democrats supporting the league of nations for this reason alone, they can well afford to disre- gard the attempts of the hot.headed republican leaders who endeavor to make this vital question a political matter. In the opinion of the demo- cratic chairman it is political suicide for any person who opposes the league of nations as the American public is overwhelmingly in favor of 1t.
 "Any party or any individual" says MT. Cummings, "who attempts to block the league of nations or throws stumbling block in its path will be but bringing destruction upon him. self"

 Nation Wide Gall

CHICAGO, June 7.-(P) The ex- pected call for nation wide strike of telegraph operators has been is sued. President Konenkamp of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union to- day sent out the order directing every union person in the employ of the telegraph companies to not report for work next Wednesday morning.
 The strike order also includes all telephone operators who are mem bers of the union. The national head quarters of the telegraphers' union estimates that the strike will affect twenty-five thousand employees of the telegraph and telephone compan. ies. They declare that the strikers will not return to their work until every demand has been granted by the employers.
 The Commercial Telegraphers' un- ion has a large number of members among the employees of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph compan- ies, and some of the telephone com panies as we'll. This strike will em. brace every member of the union from the Pacific to the Atlantic coasts. It first originated when the opera. tors in Atlanta. Georgia, walked out demanding more pay and the recog milton of their union. This was fol. lowed by President Konenkamp issu' ing an order calling out all union operators in the states of Louisiana Mississippi. Florida, Alabama. Geor' gia. North and South Carolina. West Virginia. Kentucky and Tennessee. At that time the president of the union stated 1t was probable nation wide call would be issued in the next few days.
