This is more than the Treasury

PRESIDENT MAY
WIRE CALL FOR
SENATE MEETING
Both Houses Of Congress to Be
Summoned Middle of
May
BY associated Press.

Paris, March "a special ses.
sion of both Houses of the American
Congress will probably be called tc
assemble about the middle of May
the date when President Wilson
+ hopes TO return to the United States
Senate May Be Called Earlier
If the treaty of peace is sufficiently
advanced TO warrant such a course
a special session of the Senate may
be called even earlier to afford it op-
portunity to deal with this subject
before being called upon to direct lis
attention to other important matters
chief of which will be financial af.
fairs.
May Cable Call
1t is held to be unnecessary fol
President Wilson to be in Washing
ton when the call for such a special
session is issued, for this may be
cabled from Paris in advance of his
departure from France. Mr.. Wilson
however, has reached no decision re-
garding the question and is reserv-
ing the shaping of his course of ac-
ton until he has a more definite idea
of the date of his return to America.
Wilson May Tour L. $.
The President is also keeping in
touch with the development of senti-
ment in the United States toward a
League of Nations. If the situation
appears to him to demand such ac-
ton, it is not unlikely that shortly
after his return from Europe he will
make an extended speaking tour,
presenting his Views of the issue di-
rectly to the voters in the states
whose Senators are opposed to the
ratification of the league plan.
Washington, March 22.-It was
SAID unoificially at the White House
to-day that President Wilson might
return TO the United States by MAY
!, leaving Paris Immediately after
reaching an agreement on the prin-
clpal features of the peace treaty.
without waiting for the actual sign
ing OF the document.
An extra session of Congress not
later than May | ) now is regarded as
a certainty among officials and lead
erS in Congress. Government de-
partments by restoring to various ex-
pedlents are meeting the situation
created by the failure of appropria-
ton bills in the last Congress. but
it is regarded as essential that these
measures be passed before the end
or the fiscal year, June so.

Department Explains Removal
Mir Mackay was not in the office
at the time.
An announcement by the Post
Office Department says that the or
der removing MeSsrs. Mackay. Cook
and Dcegan from the operation of
the Postal Company'H land lines un-
der government control was made
necessary by the fact that since the
Post Office Department refused to
grant the company the compensation
asked for by them, these officials
have refused or failed to follow out
the instructions of the departm ent
i'm the management of the proper
tics: and failed to put, into opera
ton promptly the wage schedule
and the eight-hour day; and in va
rious ways cndeaVorcd to cmbarrass
and discrcdit the government oper-
alton of the wires.
The reason for the refusal of the
department to grant the compensa-
ton asked for was that the sworn
statement. submitted to the Inter
state Commerce Commission in be-
half of the company. placed the
net income for 1'9l lat $ll7,264. while
the sworn statements they made to
the wire control board as a basis for
compensation placed the net income
