they deserve another chance to get
a League to satisfy what they con-
slider France needs.
The foregoing ideas are behind the
sentiment which is behind the pro-
posed move. Those advancing them
say that the action taken by the
American Senate is abandonment of
the leadership accorded the United
States, which cannot exercise that
leadership and remain out from the
League, and that the leadership mus
be transferred, the work projected
carried on without the United States.
Belgium also is expected to start
fight for removal of the capital of
the League from Geneva to Brussels.
During the peace conference the Bel
gians made hard fight to have their
capital chosen as the seat of the
League, but they were overruled.
With a move now to make a change
in direction they see an opportunity
to make another change in direc-
ton according to their own liking, and
they will seize the opportunity.
All these things foreshadow a
strong revision of the treaty, and
omission of many things that were in
serted through the powerful person
ality of President Wilson at the peace
conference.

recommendations before a congress
sional committee that wages for all
classes in the navy be increased,
means more for the personnel of the
Pacific fleet than anything else, said
Captain N. C. Twining before the
departure of the New Mexico for
southern waters. Twining is chief of
staff to Admiral Rodman, and as such
has most of the executive details of
the fleet under his thumb. He was
chief of staff to Admiral Sims during
the war.
The bill increasing the pay of the
navy personnel would make it possible
to bring enlistments up to the re-
quired volume, and probably would
result in full crews for ships of the
fleet that are now tied up for want
of men to operate them, said Captain
Twining.
He explained that men employed by
the shipping board now draw from
two to three times as much pay as en-
listed men.
"Men will not enlist" he said
"when they can make so much more
money in other employment"
"a chief petty officer now gets
from $40 month to $780," said Cap
tain Twining. "Under the bill pend
ing, he would get from 500 to about
$3.50 a month, according to his
rating"
The maximum eenlisted personnel
allowed for the entire American macy,
he said, is $4,000 men. He said the
Atlantic and Pacific fleets have to-
tai of about 10000 men. AS re-
suit, four battleships are tied up at
Mare Island with crews of $50 men,
when their normal compliments are
from 900 to 1000 men. Other ships
of the fleet are tied up at other
points. 1t has been found to be less

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-At a
cabinet meeting today, called with a
hope to bring about a settlement of
the coal strike, members of President
Wilson's official family were unable
to agree upon what would be a fair
increase in wages to 100000 miners
who are idle, awaiting negotiations.
The discussion lasted five hours.
The split was over Secretary Will
sons proposal for an increase ap-
proximately 81 per cent which he as
serted was necessary to equalize
miners wages with the cost of liv-
ing. Several cabinet members op-
posed that proposition.
Fuel Administrator Garfield, who
supported the proposition Of Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson, laid before the
cabinet new facts and figures in sup
port of his contention.

robbery of Mrs. Valenzuela of the
sum of $25O0 or thereabout.

to three years in the penitentiary at

Disciplinary Bar.
racks 7 0 B e
Erected at Fort
LeavenWOrth
Eight Million Dollars to Be
Expended for a New Fed
eral Military Prison for
Detention of Offenders.

LEAVEN WORTH, kan., Nov. 3D.
Omitted States.)-A new disciplinary
barracks rebuilt by prison labor,
forms an eight million dollar project
for Leavenworth. Plans for it have
been approved by the war department
and construction is now under way.
With the single exception of the cell
house, every building comprising the
present barracks will be razed.
Grouping all departments of the in
stitution under one roof, the single
building to be erected in sections by
prison labor, involves a scheme of
building to be stretched over a period
Of from six to eight years. On account
of fluctuating numbers of prisoners
available, however, no accurate esti-
mate can be made of the date of COM
pletion. At present inmates of the
barracks number about 1900.
The United States disciplinary bar
racks is almost an institution of Civil
war days. Some of the present build
ings were erected between 1865 and
1877. Other additions were made as
required when new branches necessi-
tated broadening out of institution
buildings.
The new structure will have a
maximum frontage of 668 feet, a
maximum depth of 1856 feet and will
be seven stories in height at the
peak. With the exception of steel,
materials of construction-concrete,
stone, brick, etc., will be made within
the barracks. Rock quarries, lime
kilns and brick plants are easily ac-
cessible, being located on the Fort
Leavenworth reservation, with mile
of the barracks.
A farm colony, stone quarry, ma
chine shops, clothing shops and fac
tories-additions made since estab-
| lishment of the barracks-are to be
housed in the new building. Admin
istration offices, guard quarters, hos
pital, store rooms, factories and ma
chine shops also will find a place un-
der the same roof. \
Architectural plans call for dis
tinctive plainness. Inner courts are
to be SO arranged, however, so that
every room will have windows on the
outside or on the court. A sufficient
portion of the new building will be
erected to house one department, be-
fore the present building used by that
department is torn down.
The United States disciplinary bar
racks is separate institution from
the federal prison located here.
Major William Blanchard, as con-
structing quartermaster of the bar
racks is in direct charge of the con-
srruerion work. Preliminary plans
were launched under the administra-
tion of Col. Sedgwick E. Rice, former
cpm,nandant. They are being for
waroed by Maj. Gen. ]. H. McRae,
present commandant of the barracks.
The disciplinary barracks at Fort
Leavenworth is by far the largest of
three federal military prisons. 1t out
ranks the prison located on Cover
nor's Island, New York, and that at
Alcatraz Island, California.
