The "discIosures" regarding the condition of Brest. as revealed" in congress, were talk en up by newspapers throughout the land. Was there truth in the reports. or was it merely one more case of sensationaIism, for which the war offered so many opportuni- ties7 Was the camp at Brest dirty and unhealthy, or was it a marvel ous feat of American engineering genius?

VOTES TO
 COMPLETE SHIPS

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Increase in the shipping board fund from $276,0OO,OO0 to $291,OOO,OOO for com pletion of the governments author ized shipbuilding program was ap- proved by the senate with but one dissenting vote at a late session to- night held in an efofrt to pass the sundry civil appropriation bill
 Protracted debate on the shipbuild- ing appropriation item and the com mittee amendment to cut off all funds from the tariff comimssion caused several important items including S1O- O0O,O00, the appropriation for acqui. sition of the Cape Cod canal, to be passed over until tomorrow, thereby preventing passage of the measure to- night as planned.
 There was little opposition, how ever, to the shipbuilding increase which merely authorizes sufficient money to complete projects already under way. The house appropriation for the shipping boards use, it was explained, was due to a miscalcula- ton.

 That the Germans still arc dissatis- fled with the treaty terms is indicat- ed by reports that pr. Mueller and Dr. Bell left Berlin for Versailles secretly, fearing attempts on their lives.
 China Balks at Jap Dominance
 An eleventh hour discordant note has been struck by the Chinese dele gates, who announce they will not affix their signatures to the treaty because China will not be allowed to province of Shantung.

PEACE MEET
 SUCCESSF u
 SAYS WILSON
President Is Pleased With Results Achieved On Eve Of His Return To U. s.
Will Go First To Capital To Report To Congress, Then
 Starts On Tour Of Nation

PARIS, June 27.-(By the Associat- ed Press. 1.-The sojourn of President Wilson in Europe will come to an end tomorrow when he starts homeward immediately following the signing of the peace treaty. All arrangements for his departure have been completed and the special presidential trains will leave the Care des Invalides at 9:30 Saturday evening. It will arrive at Brest Sunday morning, where the president would board the steamship George Washington, which will sail about noon.
 Goes First to Washington
 On his arrival in the United States President Wilson wifi go straight to Washington to lay before congress the results of the peace conference He will leave soon afterward for an extended tour of the country for the purpose of explaining directly to the people all questions relating to the peace treaty and the League of Ma tions covenant
 The president goes back to the United States more than satisfied. his friends say, with the net results of the conference and, all things con- sidered, it is his opinion that the con- ference has been a wonderful success. While it is regarded as a disadvan- tageous peace for Germany, yet against this it is held that Germany committed a great wrong and quite naturally and inevitably must make just reparation for that wrong.
 Small Peoples Liberated
 But outside of German results. the conference is viewed in presidential quarters as liberating people who never before had a chance of liberty. such as Poland, Jugo-Slavia and Czecho-Slavakia. Also the conference is credited with banding together the people of the world to make the peace regime enduring. Other large results. 1t was pointed out, are the giving of a charter to labor, removing restric- tions on International intercourse and many other international results which can be summed up as "a colos- sal business such as the world never dreamed of before"
 Opposes League Amendments
 The peace treaty and the League of Nations covenant should be ratified without amendment, according to the presidential view, as it is understood.

Harry ThaIU Breaks IntO Print Again

NEW YORK, June 27.-Papers in- tended to bring about the extradition of Harry K. Thaw from Pennsylvania to have him tried here on the indict- ment charging him with assaulting Frederick Gump of Kansas City, in New York several years ago, were ordered prepared by District Attorney Swan today. The prosecutor said he had been informed that Thaw for the second time had been allowed to leave the Philadelphia sanitarium where he had been confined, in order to visit his mother in. Pittsburg.
 An attempt was made during the administration of Governor Whitman to haev Thaw brought here from Phil adelphia but Martin Rrumbaugh, then governor of Pennsylvania, refused to honor the requisition papers on the ground, it was understood, that Thaw had been declared insane and that it was legally impossible to extradite a lunatic.
 Thaw was indicted here in January 1917, on a charge of kidnapping and whipping Gump, a 19 year old youth, son of Kansas City trunk-maker. Young Gump, who was living in Long Beach Calif., alleged he was enticed to New York by Thaw.
 Upon the indictment of Thaw on the Gump charges, the accused man, it was discovered, had left the city and he was finally located in a Phila- delphia boarding house. There, two days afterwards, Thaw slashed his

Congress Cuts US. Army To 225, ,OOO

WASHINGTON. June 27-Senate and house conferees on the army ap- propriation bill late today reached an agreement to fix the average size of the 1920 amy at 325,OOO officers and men. This total is 75,000 less than proposed by the senate and 25,000 more than authorized originally by the house.
 The agreement means that for the last nine months of the year ending June 30, 1920. the army will be com posed of 225,OO0 officers and men, made necessary by the surplus above 325,000 during the next three months. This will be 25,000 men more than the 100000 army permitted Germany by the peace treaty.
 In announcing that 325,OOO was the figure agreed upon, Chairman Wads-

worth Of the senate military commit tee, said 1t was the lowest number that could be named and still keep the army within the limits prescribed by the national defense act which re- quired the maintenance of an army of 225,000. Another meeting will be held tomorrow at which the appro- priations for aviation, ordnance and other remaining items will be consid- cred.
 Efforts of the house conferees to reduce increased senate appropria- tions in part were successful the sen ate appropriation of $15,000,000 for barracks and quarters being cut in half while that of $3,50OOOO for the signal corps was reduced to $3,250,, 900. The senate appropriation of $430,000 for the military intelligence branch was reduced to $400,000.

 A report from Geneva Thursday night said Herr Scheidemann had arrived in Switzerland after cross ing the frontier on foot.
 The last proposal made by the conspirators planning to oppose the allies, it is said, was to ask Poland to combine with eastern Germany in the formation of an independent republic. The offer, it is declared, was rebuffed by the Poles, who asked why it had not been offered ten years ago.

HOUSE VETS TO
 FIGHT FOR BEER
Hope To Amend War Time Prohibition To Permit
 Lighter Drinks

WASHINGTON, June 27-The whole question of prohibition en- forcement was transferred today from the judiciary committee to the house without promise or assurance of spedy consideration.
 A general enforcement measure, embracing both war time and consti- tutional prohibition put together in such 9 way as to let one stand inde- pendently of the other, was reported out by a vote of r to two after the committee had refused to split it into two separate and distinct parts. But this vote did not accurately represent the. sentiment of the committee, some members of which will send in a minority report and insist upon the elimination of some of the drastic pro- visions.
 Backed up by representatives from districts outwardly hostile to war time prohibition, the minority will at tempt a flying wedge fight in the hope of so amending the war time enforcement bill as to permit the manufacture and sale of 3-4 per cent beer. While the prohibition leaders claim to have sufficient votes to put the bill through without substantial change, they conferred informally to- night to decide upon a plan of action, believing there was no indication that the president, before July 1, would is sue a proclamation declaring demobi- lization completed-anG-w war time pro- hibition ended.
 Refusal of the house majority lead CTS to give the bill a special rule for immediate consideration, was due, they explained to failure of the com, mittee to send in a wartime prohibi- tion enforcement bill by itself. Had this been done, they said, it could have been passed in a day. It is not at all unlikely an effort will be made to separate bodily the war time and constitutional measures and endeavoI to pass the former measure for which there is pressing demand, and let the other wait.
 There will be ample time for mem bers to outline their plan of attack and defense, for the house plans to adjourn early next week after dispos- ing of the last of the supply bills, until July 2.
