The most important International
subject In sight for the meeting or
the Cabinet Tuesday is whether or
not the United States shall follow
out the suggestion of the Supreme
Council that this country appoint
delegates to the various commits
sions which are an outgrowth Of the
Peace Conference, despite the fact
that the treaty itself Is as yet un-
ratified BY the United States Sen
ate.

what action will be taken. but the

The Supreme Council Is the func-
tionfng body of the armistice and
has decided that representatives on
these various commissions may be
named temporarily by powers which
have not yet ratified the treaty.
The question assumed acute pro-
portions and brought about the de-
cision Of the Supreme Council be-
cause OF the situation in the Baltic
provinces, and especially with ref
erence to- Silesia. The allies found
1t necessary to send a commission
there, as was provided in the terms
of the armfstice, and England has
sent its delegate to Silesia already.
He Is accompanied by an American
general.
1t is understood here that tn.
American delegation to the Peace
Conference undertook. under So
called war powers, to send a repre-
sentative to Silesia on q commits
sion with the expectation that it's
act would be endorsed at Washing
ton by the administration now

Batt Of own Editors.
In 1888 he became the owner of
the Pail Mall Gazette and the Pail
Mall Magazine. Shortly afterward
he installed the son Of an earl
as the editor Of the former and the
SON Of q duke as editor of the
latter. In . short time he dis
charged both for making fun of his
social, ambitions.
Astor's entertainments in London
were lavish and were always we'll
attended. but his social progress.
was, nevertheless. slower than he
had expected. At one Of these en-
tertainment Astor. roaming through
the rooms. of his palatial residence
met q man he did not know. He
asked the stranger IL he had been
invited. The stranger said he had
not and Astor had him elected.
He found out later that the
stranger was Admiral Sir Berkeley
Milne. intimate friend of the Prince
of Wales. and that he had been
brought to the entertainment by
Consuelo, Duchess of Manchester.
That incident closed the doors of
court society to Astor for many
years.
Astor was greatly annoyed after
his purchase OF Hever Castle by
the circulation of q story to the
effect that the ghost of Anne Boleyn
had declined to haunt the castle
after it came into Astor's posses
sion.
Peerage Cost $4,000 900.
1t Is estimated that his campaign for
the peerage cost not less than Sl2-
10000. Double taxes were q heavy
drain on the Astor estate. In England
he was called upon to pay a war tax
of per cent on an estate of $40, 600, 900

ed upon to pay a similar amount,
this being 2 per cent levy on so, 0o0o-
