Peace Conference can- not send them home and cost of keeping them is becoming burdenS0me.
COUNCIL TAKES NO
 ACTION ON KAISER : But Members Seem to Be Firm in Opinion That William HOhenzOllern Must  Stand Trial.

Paris, July IS (By Associated Press )-The supreme council of the speace conference today discussed the disposition of 240,OOO Russian prison CTS of war still in Germany at the request of the Allies after the arnis- tice and who are being fed at Entente expense.
 Cannot Return Homo
 As many are infected with Bol- fshevism Poland and other countries through which they would return to Russia have objected to giving them passage. Moreover, it is held, they would be either forced into the Bo1- sheviki army or killed if sent home The expense of maintaining them in Germany however, is becoming bur !. densome The council unable today to reach a decision, referred the question to it's military advisors for a report
 Told of Greek Atrocities. The council received a protest from the Shei1 of Aidin Asia Minor, : concerning atrocities which the Greeks are alleged to have com nitted upon Turks near Aidin. It was decided to send military mis- sion to investigate. The American delegation will cable to Washington . for instructions.
 No Substitute for Kaiser.
 The council has taken no action concerning the punishment of the former emperor of Germany and has not even considered the report from the commission on responsibilities , which does not favor the peace con- ference allowing Field Marshall von Hindenburg or anyone else to be sub- ctit
 The council appears to be firm in the conviction which is held by mili- tary officials of the Entente powers that William Hohenzollern must be e punished as it would be impossible to obtain the punishment of military, naval and civil officials in Germany who are charged with atrocities if the former emperor is exempted.
 AIlenby as CoIciliator.
 The councils appointment of Gen. F. H. H. Allenby of the British army to the duty of adjusting differences between the Greek and Italian forces in Asia Minor is regarded as the best means of disposing of friction there, because it is believed the Turks will be impressed by the united action of .the Allies It is hoped the Greeks and Italians will withdraw behind lines which General AIlenby will outline. Considering Occupation Plans.
 The problem of the force of occu- patton in the Rhineland province, arising from the withdrawal of a, majority of the British and Ameri- cn troops, was also considered today. {, The question of principles involved l has been settled and all that re- ' mains to be decided upon is the exact number of effectives and the pro- portions of the force of occupation to be provided by each of the Allies.

BARRIERS Vote to Strike
For Standard Prices
"Cuithroai" Competition Dis
gusts Bosses, Who Will
Lead WalkOut

Whiskers may become general and
necessary evil in this city in the near
future if the strike order of the In
ternatlonal BARRIERS Protective Asso-
citation, voted last night, brings about
the threatened walkout,
Without intending to provoke
smile, the boss BARRIERS who make up
the association say that they are dis
gustcd with "cutthroat" competition.
They are out to stabilize the industry
They demand that city shops decide
on uniform price for a shave and
charge it-no more, no less.
One of the unique features of the
promised strike, which was voted at
a meeting held at Clinton Hall, 151
Clinton Street, is that barber shop
owners will lock the doors of their
places OF business and keep them
closed until those who do not belong
to their organization come to their
terms
"But the man who requires shave
will be forced into the shop of your
competitor" exclaimed an outsider,
who discussed the situation with
Abraham Miller, organizer for the as
sociation.
"Ah, but no." was his reply. "We
will call out his BARRIERS and keep
them out until settlement is
reached"
The strike will be called by sections.
The first shaveless days will be cele-
brated on the lower East Side, east
of the Bowery and below Fourteenth

Two Rivals Killed
In Love Duel Over
"Mvsterious Marie''
Hundred Dancers See Men
Fight to Death; Each Re-
fuses to Give Identity of
Girl Before They Die

Two men fought and died early yes
terday in a dramatic duel for the love
of girl whose identity they guarded
with their last breath.
Staged in the centre of dance hall,
with more than 100 stunned men and
women as an audience, the duel might
we'll have been part of the entertain
ment of the evening. But for the two
huddled forms that remained on the
floor after the dancers had made
hurried exit, many Of their number
probably would have imagined it was
but part Of the nights play
dance was going merrily on in
Empire Hall, Lorimer and Ten Eyck
streets, Brooklyn, when, at l o'clock
yesterday morning, the voices of two
men suddenly were lifted in argument.
Anthony Napoltano, whose address is
unknown, and Anthony Andrea, of 1874
Broadway, Brooklyn, stood in the centre
of the floor, while other dancers in
stinctively drew away.
Suddenly the men ceased TALKING and
squared away as if to settle their DIFF
ferences with their fists. But two re-
volvers were drawn simultaneously.
There were two spurts Of flame and
an explosion as if but one weapon had
been discharged.
Both men sank to the floor Each
bullet had struck home and inflicted
a mortal injury. A pretty girl, whose
name is given only as Marie, leaned
over them for a moment, then disap-
peared at the heels Of the other re-
treating dancers.
An ambulance arrived and the two
men were taken to st. Catharine's Hos
piital, where they were placed on cots,
side by side. Both men knew they had
but few minutes to live. Detectives
from the Stagg Street station. also
knowing the seriousness of their con-
dltlon, Immediately approached to OBJ
tam statements from them.
But the dying men had other ideas of
justice.
Don't tell said Napolitano.
Andrea feebly turned his head and
hodded assent. Five minutes later they
dIed without revealing the identity Of
the girl over whom they had fought.
