Until 1926.

Chicago, Feb. lS.-Bmlding opcr-
atlons in the United States during
1920 will total So,000,900,000, G. w.
Buchholz, secretary OF the .Asso-
ciated General Contractors, told
that organization here. About
$4,000, 100000 was spent last year on
building. He predicted that the
10000, 0,0o0,000 annual expenditure
on new construction would Continue
for at least six years, until we are
caught up with the time .lost during
the war" >
Building costs have risen from "a
to 240 per cent since 1918, according
to Franklin F. Miller, New York
publisher, who addressed rspresen-
tatives of building trades and con-
strucuon rganiZations attending
the national conference on concrete
house construction.
He attributed this advance to the
demand for automobiles and other
luXuries, asserting that these had
drawn labor from the building in
drstry and raised the cost of labor
to such an extent that rentals had
gone up i'll sympathy.
The people are bidding against
each other in renting and until they
cease. rents will continue high" Mr..
Miller declared.

OPINIONS DIFFER
ON ADVISABILITY
OF SELLING SHIPS
Senate Committee Hears Argu-
ments Pro and Con, But
Reaches No Decision.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Confiicting
opinions as to the advisability of
the immediate sale of the SO former
German passenger liners recently
offered by the shipping board were
presented to the senate commerce
committee today by members of the
board.
Chairman Payne told the commit
tee that the conditioning of the ves-
sells for passenger service would in
volve an expenditure of more than
$75,000,000 and offered a resolution
approved by three. of the four mem
bers of the board requesting au-
thority to put the ships on the mar
ket. All bids recently received for
the purchase of the liners have been
rejected, he stated.
Vice Chairman Stevens OF the
board, on the other hand stated that
the vessels should not be sold aAthis
time as their true valuation had
never been worked out. He urged
that the vessels beireconditioned be-
fore their sale. Estimates of the
value of the vessels received by the
board, 1he said, had been made with
a depreciation charge Of 5 per cent
while enly 21-2 per cent should be
thus charged off, He placed the
value of the feet at nearly S5,00O.-
600.
Opposing the immediate sale OF
the liners, because of the uncer-
tainty as to their valuation, Mr.
Stevens said the public was entitled
to know whether the feet was being
offered at fair prices. y
1t would be a tremendous mis-
take" for the United States to sell
its war built cargo ships for 500
deadweight ton" Wallace Downey,.
head of a New York shipyard. told
the senate commerce committee.
The cost of constructing similar
steel tonnage today he estimated at

Creates Arbitration Board.
Creation of a permanent federal
arbitration board composed of nine
members divided equally among en-
ployes, employers and the public and
appointed by the president, which
the revised bill proposes, was con-
sidered by many railroad experts as
simplifying solution of wage prob
lens to be dealt with after return
of the roads. Submission of dis
putes to the board is compulsory.
President Wilson in replying to
the demands of the more than 2,eO0,-
600 workers for increased wages,
offered submission of the pay re-
quest to such board if provide,
by law or to a. commission which
he promised to create if no legal pro-
vision was made. The attitude of

Further Concessions.
Are Granted Germany

London, Feb. 18.-Germany has
been allowed a concession from the
terms of the treaty Of Versailles with
regard to the speed with which its
military forces must be reduced.
Premier Lloyd George, it was
learned, has notified DIR. Sthamer,
the German envoy, that the date
when its army must be reduced to
100000 men has been fixed as April
10, While it is allowed until July 10
to bring it down to the 100000
limit.
Evidently assuming that the treaty
would be made effective much earlier
than it really was, article 165 of the
treaty stipulated that the reduction
to 100000 men should be made by
March 81 1920. at the latest" =

were published i'll the foreign press.
| These versions were said TO have
misinterpreted the presidents posi-

One thing OF importance from the
| American viewpoint which de
veloped today was that such de
cisions as are reached by the
premiers in their London meeting:
at which the United States is moi
represented are all subject to ap.
proval at subsequent meetings IL

To Advise Wallace Fully.
While this representative will not
have plenary powers to accept or
reject any decision reached at the
Paris meetings, he will at least be
able to Quickly refer them to the.
State department thus carrying out
the understanding reached in Paris
when the American pe3ce commits
sioners withdrew-thA thereafter
all questions arising under the peace
treaty and armistic were to be re.
ferred to the various foreign of.
fices.
1t is known that the Paris con-
ference will take up the question
of the disposition Of Turkey and as
all the entente powers are on record
as having requested the participa-
ton of the United States it is under
stood that Ambassador Wallace
will be fully advised as to de-
velopments.
While there is no idea that the
American government will consent
to accept mandate of any char
acter. even over Armenia, where the
situation is reported to be desper-
ate, the warm interest in this coun-
try in the Armenians is SO we'll
recognized that the entente powers
are believed to be certain to solicit
the advice of the United States
in making an adjustments of the mat

Want Notes Made Public.
London, Feb. l8.-Criticism for
the failure to make public President
Wilson's note and the allied reply,
is a feature of some of the COM
ments in London papers today while
the denial that Viscount Gray and
Lord Robert Cecil had influenced
the council to modify its reply, is
declared to be partly untrue.
The Daily Mail, for instancs says
it is all open secret that the country

Propitiating Answer
Made to Wilson Note

spccts the general principles of self
determination of the peoples affected
were to be put into force.
The seizure of Flume by DAN
nunzio. it was suggested, had
changed conditions in the Adriatic
and the inability or lndispositlon OF
the Italian government to restore
the status quo appeared to place the
weight of responsibility for doing so
upon the entente powers or the
United States. 1t was realized that
none of these was willing to take
such move and consequently other
measures to meet the case were con-
sidered
As comment upon this suggestion
involved a disclosure of some of the
features of the latest entente note,
the State department had nothing to
say on the subject.
There is reason to believe that the
general tendency of the premiers'
note is to invite the United States
to come forward with some solution
of the problem.
At the State department 1t was
said that the councils note would
receive careful consideration, max
ing it evident that some time must
clapse before reply will be made.
Would Make Note Public.
While the department has decided
not to make public the presidents
communication and the councils re-
ply without the consent of France,
Great Britain and Italy, it was
learned from authoritative sources
today the American government
looked with favor on publication of
the exchanges and had taken steps
to ascertain the wishes of the other
governments in the matter.
