NEW YORK PORT PRACTICALLY
PARALYZED AS RESULT.

New York, Jan. 1O-The port of
New York is practically paralyzed as
the result of the strike of approx
mately $1,000 marine workers. The
city and it's environs Is confronted by
a situation which is believed by many
to be the most precarious in its his
tory.
Except for a small fleet of ferry
boats, tugs and lighters engaged in
debarkation of homecoming troops
and loading of perishable supplies for
the American eXpeditionary forces,
harbor shipping is at a standstill fol-
lowing the strikers attempt to force
arbitration of their demands for high
er wages and an eight-hour day.
Not only privately-owned craft, but
the boats of the railroad administra-
ton, 1000 in number, were tied up,
and the sailing or berthing of ocean
steamships, as well as the ferrying of
passengers between Manhattan and
its %neighboring boroughs and suburbs.
was impossible.
Unless railroads can bring food into
New York by roundabout routes, the
hunger point may be reached within
forty-eight' hours, and the lives Of
thousands imperiled as the result OF
the marine workers strike, which
tied up virtually all traffic in the har-
Dor.
A. H. Smith, regional railroad d.
rector, asked for "a forty-eight-hour
aImistice," and stated If this was
granted, the strike could be settled
across the table" At a conference
with Mr.. Smith, however, the men
told him the proposal could not be
considered until the general strike
committee held a meeting. 1t was
at Mr.. Smiths office that to
avert possible famine, livestock, food
and milk were being given
preference over all other freight COM
ing into the city. The milk situation
was described as "even worse than
that of solid food" as there were
of babies and invalids who
must be supplied.

Paris, Jan. 14.-An official commu-

The proceedings yesterday were di-
vided into two distinct stages. The
first, the morning meeting, was pre-
sided over by Marshal Foch, at which
the military, naval and economic au-
thorities reached an agreement on
new terms for the armistice expiring

Foch, General Weygand, his chief of
staff, M. Klotz, minister of finance,
and M. Leygues, minister of marine,
and Italy by General Robilant.
The accord reached is said to have
been complete, embracing financial
terms, whereby Germany must restore
the sums taken from the cities and
towns in the devastated regions; mill
tlry, whereby Germany must restore
the guns taken and promptly deliver
up rolling stock and locomotives, and
economic, whereby food relief will
reach the famished regions.

Fighting in BuenOs Aires.

Buenos Aires-The commanders of
the government troops officially report
$50 dead and 700 wounded as a result
of the strike riots in this city. Altho
the iron workers strike is settled and
the general strike which had been de-
clared by the Regional Federation was
called there is only a slight decrease
in the acts of anarchy. The fedora
ton, which is known as an anarchist
organization, issued a statement dis
claiming any connection with the law
lessness, which it was asserted was
due to foreign ag~itators. Shooting in
various parts of the city and cavalry
patrols clashed with armed groups Of
men. Probably the most serious fight
ing took place at the penitentiary, the
city water works and at several po-
lice stations.

Observation-Disclosures of "dry"

of intoxicants for their own use were
in effect nullified by the so-called
"Reed bone-dry" amendment enacted
by Congress, the Supreme Court held

Justice Clarke c%oncurred, held that
the Reed amendment was not an in

affairs, and as such purely beyond the
power of the federal government.

EXTRADITI0N FOR
FORMER KAISER
WILL BE INCORPORATED IN PEACE
CONFERENCE BY WORLD
POWERS.
DISAPPOINTING
MANY POINTS YET TO BE SETTLED
BEFORE THE FINAL
SETTING.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Paris, Jan. lit was learned today
that the eXtradition of the former
kaiser and the former crown prince will
be the subject OF a general conference
and demands on hat score will be in
corporated in the final terms. Proceed
ings against the former German emperor
are advised in a special report by Il sub
committee of the commission charged
with inquiring into violations of the
laws OF wal appointed two months ago.
Plans for a tribunal which will try cases
in which violations are alleged already
have been submitted.
London.-Messages from Paris indicate
that Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd
George have scored a great success on
the question of the freedom of the seas
and that very little is likely to be said
on this subject when the actual peace
conference assemblies. The Spanish-Mor-
ocean question also has been settled to
the satisfaction of England and France.
Paris.-Conversations which will lay
the foundation of the actual peace con-
grcss are about to start. Suggestions
have been made that the French and
American delegates go ahead while
awaiting the arrival of the British pleni-
potentiaries. President Wilson, how
ever, vetoed that plan, holding that, in
asmuch as there already has been so
long a delay, it would be best to wit
a little longer to obtain the participation
of the British.
The first few conferences between the
Americans, French and British probably
will develop just how much progress
may be expected before President Will
son goes home next month. Some diplo-
mats among the Americans here are
agreed that the most Mr.. Wilson can
hope to report at home probably will be
a general undertaking of the widest sort
upon a set of principles which must be
left to be applied by the peace congress.
