Within Two Meeks.

Washington, Aug. 80. President
Wilson will leave Washington next
Wednesday on is speech making tour
in the interest of the peace treaty and
will deliver his first address in Colum-
bus, Ohio, Thursday, probably in the
evening.
To Visit Twin Cities.
Washington, Aug. % President
Wilson will begin his trip to the Pa.
cific coast just as soon as details can
be arranged, probably within 10 days
or two weeks. Secretary Tumulty
made this definite announcement, add
ing that the President felt he should
make the trip. 1t is regarded as like.
ly that the President will reach the
Pacific coast in time to review the
Pacific fleet at San Francisco, Sep.
tember Is.
While the itinerary still is incom.
plete 1t was regarded as almost GER
tain that the President would speak
at Sioux City, Iowa, Minneapolis or
st. Paul, Mimi, and Bismarck, N. D.
Secretary Tumulty said the tour
would occupy 25 days eff the Presi.
dent can stand it."

was explained that he would not nee.
essarily wait for the peace treaty to
be reported to the senate by the for
eign relations committee
While the President wishes to start
on his tour very soon there are va
r1ous elements that must be consid-
cred including the necessary arrange.
ments for his reception in the cities

dent felt the speechmaking tour was

sibly he would greet General Pershing
somewhere in the West.

RETURN FROM MEXICO
American Punitive Forces Back
From Neighboring Republic.
Mexican Protest Plays No Part In
Ordering Troops Home-Five
Bandits Killed.

Maria, Texas, Aug. 25.-Troops of
the American punitive expedition,
which crossed the Mexican border six
days ago, marched out of Mexico in a
rain storm. The first of the expedi-
tion to cross the border on the re-
turn, the pack and supply train,
reached the border shortly after $3.50
at night The remainder of the exp
pedition followed.
According to advices from Wash
ington, the withdrawal was entirely a
matter of military judgment and was
in no way Influenced by the protest
filed by Mexico.
Lieutenant Harold G. Peterson of
Hutchinson, Mimi, who has reached
here, reported that Jesus Renteria,
the bandit leader, was shot and killed
by Lieut.. R. H. Cooper when bandits
tired on Cooper's machine
Colonel Langhorne said that the ex-
pedition was considered a success
from military standpoint. He point
ed to the killing of five bandits and
the arrest of six other suspects by
the Americans and the captured of
nine Carranza troops at Coyame The
immediate reason for the withdrawal,
he said, was that there was no longer
any prospect of capturing other ban
dts and there were no more "hot
trails" to follow

Union Chiefs Request Rail Shop
men to Hold Decision
On Strike.
FOOD INQUIRY PENDING
Urged Acceptance of Presidents Com
promise Offer in Meantime-ln-
crease Depends on Results
Government Can Show.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Industrial
peace in the United States depends on
the results the government can show
in the next 80 days in its campaign
to reduce the cost of living, in the
view of government officials and labor
leaders here. Three months is the
time limit tacitly set by the legislative
council of the railroad shop crafts in
suggesting to union locals throughout
the country that President Wilson's
compromise offer in response to their
demand for higher wages should be
accepted pending the outcome of the
effort to restore a normal price level.
Reserve Strike Right.
If the cost of living does not come
down, the 100000 members of the
shop crafts would reserve the right to
probably would be associated the re-
mainder of the 2,5OO,OO0 railroad en-
ployes, all of whom have been consid-
ering the same problem.
The letter of the executive council
served to compose somewhat the un-
easiness felt in official circles over
the immediate labor situation and to
focus attention on the legal measures
being directed by Attorney General
Palmer and his assistant, Judge Ames,
to take the imitation out of prices, to
furnishing hoarders and profiteers.
Ninety Days Time Limit.
In our opinion" the letter said,
sthe next 80 days will bring the en-
tire situation to head and if strike
is to take place every class of railroad
employees should be willing to join in
the movement, share their full meas
ure of responsibility and not leave the
issue to be decided by the % per cent
of the railroad employees represented
by the federated trades
1T is our honest judgment that a
fatal mistake would be made by our
members to assume the responsibility
of tying up the railroads at this time
when the President is evidently doing
all possible to reduce the high cost of
living"

Senate Committee Seeks to Re-
strict Participation on World
Commissions.
.WH|RLW WIND OF DEBATE
Proposal to Amend Shantung Section
of Peace Treaty Brings AGRA
monious Discussion in
Senate Itself.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Provision for
American representation on score OF
international commissions to carry out
details of the peace settlement would
be stricken out of the peace treaty
under a sweeping amendment adopted
by the senate foreign relations com.
mittee.
Later in the senate itself the COM
mittee's previous decision to amend
the Shantung section raised a whirl-
wind of debate with Senator McCum-
Der, North Dakota, bitterly attacking
the committees course, and Senator
Borah, Idaho, defending it. Both are
Republican members of the commit.
tee.
Afterward Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska, the Democratic leader,
talked over the possibilities of the sit.
uation with President Wilson at the
White House and predicted afterward
that all amendments would be defeat.
ed eventually and that the treaty
would be ratified during September.
Divide on Party Lines.
In its decision regarding American
participation in the reconstruction
commissions, the committee divided on
party lines, the nine Republicans pres.
ent standing as a unit for the amend.
ment and the seven Democratic votes
all being recorded in the negative.
Senator McCumber, who voted with
the Democrats against the Shantung
amendment, was absent.
An exception was made to the com
mittee of the reparations commission,
which is to have charge of the collec-
tion of Germany's indemnity bill
Senator Fall, Republican, New Mexico,
who presented the amendment, said
he had not proposed taking the Ameri
can representative from this commits.
sion because he felt American inter
ests might be directly involved in it's
work.
Blow at China, Says McCumber.
In the commissions which are affect
ed by the amendment, Mr.. Fall said
American interest would be so indirect
as not to compensate for the dangers
of becoming hopelesesly involved in
European affairs.
In the speech in the senate, Senator
McCumber declared the committee
majority really intended the Shantung
amendment to drive poisoned
blade" into the treaty with the pur
pose of killing the league of nations.

Reorganization Scheme for Rail-
roads Provides for Federal
Company.
new STATUS F0RLAB0R,
Proposal Combines "Most Desirable
Factors" of Both Government and
Private ownership-Lenroot
Introduces Bill.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Railroad re-
organization under plan combining
the most desirable factors" of both
government and private ownership
and operation, was offered as solution
of the railroad problem by Judge
George w. Anderson, of the United
States district court, Boston, former
member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, who appeared before the
Formation of federal railroad COM
pany with broad powers including emf
nent domain to take over existing
transportation facilities, so as to pro-
vide "single national highway and
carrier system" was advocated by
Judge Anderson.
New Status for Labor.
Labor would, by the proposals of
the witness, have a new status and
responsibility, including profit shar-
ing, but strikes would be illegal.
Along with capital and the public,
labor would have equal representation
on the board of directors selected to
manage the roads. Rates would be
initiated on the service-at-cost prinA
ciple by the federal company, subject
to approval Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission; states would deal
with purely local questions, such as
communication rates, improvements
and safety precautions.
