Sims. commander Of the American naval forces in the war zone at farewell speech at the American Luncheon club, said that in 1910 when sixteen warships spent several weeks Tn European waters. he submitted se- cret report to the admiral commanding that in his opinion and that of many American and British officers. war could not be put off more than four years
 He stated that he just wanted to mention this fact for what it was worth
 After referring to his "undiplomatic remarks at the Guild hall in London several years ago, when he asserted that Great Britain and the United States would be found together in the next war, he reviewed the work of the navy, saying it had co-operated closely with the American army.
 There was no friction" Admiral Sims declared. That may seem plat itude, but all my reading of naval his tory has convinced me that this was the first instance in the world where an army and navy really co-operated Most of the commanders spend the bal ance of their lives writing how the other fellow was mistaken. l have the greatest admiration for John Pershine He had the greatest job any comman- der ever had and you would be sur prised if you knew the trouble we had to get the army to the front.
 T not only have the greatest regard for General Pershing, but the greatest contempt for the way certain people in the United States are criticising him. If anyone needs praise. he does with a lot of small things on the other side barking at his heels"
 } Admiral Sims paid tribute to his stair, several of whom he mentioned as having been responsible for the success of the American navy in European waters. and said he considered it mot only the best organization the United States navy ever had but the only one

PROBLEM OF SECRET
 TREATIES AGAIN UP
 AT PEACE COUNCIL

PARIS, March 14-(By the Asso- ciated Press).-It has been learned that the status of secret treaties and con- ventions made during the war again has arisen. Information obtained to- day from some of the American dele gates to. the peace conference was that the action of a majority of the confer ence commission dealing with Greclan boundaries, in declaring that the treaty of London of 1915 was effective. will not be permitted 10 go unchallenged and could not become effective rati- fled by the council of ten. which they asserted would refuse its approval.
 The subject matter of the decision is not of especial interest to Americans but the decision relstive to the treaty of London, which is one of those se- cret conventions made during the war, is regarded as of the gravest import ance. it being declared 10 be in direct conflict with one of President Wilson's s fourteen points. concerning such agreement and one relative to the right of self determiuation of small na- tions.
 1t is held that if the decision of the majority of the commission were up- held it would of necessity carry with i. affirmation of ltaly's claims to nearly all the eastern shore Of the Adriatic as well as other agreements for the dispo- siiioa of colonial possessions. which have been regarded as proper subjects for action of the peace conference it. self.
 A point Of especial interest is that the action was taken by tho commis- sicn through a combination Of votes of Great Britain, France and Italy.

Cummings Launches Fervid Attack on Opposition to League of Nations-Dan- iels Also Speaks

NEW YORK, March 14.-A challenge to Will II. Hays, chairman of the re- publican national committee, to place his party on record with respect to the league of nations, was issued here to- night by Homer s. Cummings, chair man of the democratic national coun- cil, in an address at a dinner in his honor at the national democratic club.
 Other speakers included Josephus Daniels, secretary Of the navy, and Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York.

He will be in good company for he will find himself supported by Mir. Taft. MT Wickersham, eX-Senator Burton and President Lowell of Harvard. and last but not least, by Mir.

It is an unholy alliance and cannot prevail. When congress adjourned March 4. an open filibuster against pending leg lsiation was still in progress. The sen- ate abdicated its functions, declined to consider the most pressing of national needs and wasted precious moments in violent political abuse and vehement opposition to the league of nations. So intent have the republican leaders been upon their purpose that they have been betrayed into all sorts of indiscretions Their moderate triumph of November 1918, has gone to their heads.

ELLIOT OUTLINES
 PLANS TO SETTLE . LABOR QUESTIONS

BOSTON, March 14.-A program for cooperation between capital and labor designed to bring about "a just settle ment of industrial strife" was outlined today by Charles w. Elliot. president emeritus of Harvard University, at legislative hearing on bill for the ap- pointment of d special commission to study the hours of labor in Massachu- setts industries. He favored the bill. chiefly, he said, "because I believe it to be ineXpedient, not to say absurd, to attempt to fix by law the same number of hours for all industries without re- gard to their infinite diversities or for all establishments in the same in dustry."
 As a final basis for his program pr. Elliot proposed: General adoption of a genuine partnership system between the capital and the labor engaged in any given works or plants. whereby the re- turns to capital and labor alike after the wages are paid. shall vary with the profits of the establishment, the per centage of the profit going to the pay roll being always much larger than that goin gto shareholders or owners. and payroll never being called on to make good losses. As Q means of securing to employees fun knowledge of the part nership accounts they should always be represented in the directorate.''
 He advocated universal adoption of cooperative management and disci- pline; increased welfare provisions for employees; abandonment of the con- ccption that capital is the natural ene- my Of labor. and that unorganized lab orers are traitors to their class" or Of the idea that it is desirable for workers of any sort to work as few hours a day as possible" and absolute rejection of the notion that leisure rather than steady work should be the main object ol life

DECIDE ON POWERS
 OF INTERNATIONAL
 LABOR BUREAU PLAN

PARIS, March 14. -(By the Asso- slated Press) Methods of enforcing rulings of the international labor bu- reau and fixing the voting power for the nations represented are the only questions under consideration by the commission on international labor leg islation. It is believed both questions will be determined next week,
 With the exception of these points the British draft for organization of the bureau and the methods of it's pro- cedure have been adopted without change. The recommendation to have the first meeting of the international labor machine held in Washington will De accepted in the report, as well as the date of the meeting.
 The British recommendation that the rulings of the bureau be enforced with the same machinery the league of na- tions employs has not found unquali- lied support. especially on the part of the Americans. Those opposing this plan do not believe it advisable or even practical, to use the full force of the league to compel obedience and suggest instead the plan of moral suasion. They would have the findings of the bureau referred to the countries in- terested, believing public discussion and consequent moral opinion would prove more effective in bringing about compliance.
 Various proposals, such as adoption of universal eight laws, laws af- fecting child labor and women labor and the internationalization of labor the latter subject urged particularly by Italy. and which, it is believed, will lift the barriers erected by immigration laws-are not to be included in the commissions report. A large number of proposals submitted by labor unions are to be left for discussion by the bu- | reau itself
