Phone Service
 is Worst Yet in
 Vienna, is Claim

Vienna, March 27-Americans who may sometimes be dissatisfied with the telephone, telegraph or postal service in America should come here if they want to see really disorgan- ized means of communication.
 So demoralized is the telephone service of Vienna that a great mass meeting of business men has been held and has demanded that this ser vice be taken from the government bureaucracy and turned over to pri- vate control
 It is almost impossible to get cen- tral and, once. secured, the line is usually cut after less than one minutes conversat tion. The tele- phone employees claim they are over worked. undernourished and the whole equipment run down. The minister of communications admit ted to the mass meeting that the telephone and post and telegraph systems generally had failed and that the postoffice had paid more than 15,00O,O0O crowns last year for stolen packages, Armed guards are now placed on all mail transport.
 The worst factor in the situation is declared to be inability of officials to enforce discipline under the present government where various councils ot workmen and soldiers operate to make the employees lax and indepen- dent.

Says BOlshevism is
 Busy Among Negroes

New York, March 27.--Hugh s. Mar tin, former captain in the United States army and chief of the military intelligence service in. North Russia, told of the danger from radical prop aganda among the negroes in this country, in statement issued from the headquarters of the American central committee for Russian relief. Captain Martin is now featuring for this committee, which is the national organization formed from the sRoot commission to aid non- Bolshevi,- Rus sian refugees.
 Bolshevik propaganda is endeav- bring to find field among the negro population of the United States as we'll as among foreign workmen in this country" says Captain Martin.
 By reason of his racial inferiori- ty. the negro cannot be expected to feel himself as closely attached to American institutions as is the white man, Recent outbreaks in the South have clearly demonstrated that the negro is, in some instances. succumb- ing to radical influences.
 "The sole permanent solution lies in ! proper understanding between the two races. Point out to negro fhat. although radicalism offers him temporary respite, in the end, as we have so clearly seen in Russia, the burden of inevitable disaster will fall mainly on his shoulders.

BOlSheVik Pliers
 Hard to COntrO,

Warsaw, March 27.-Aviators of the Russian bolshevik army have been warned that their wives or near rela- tives will be held as hostages if they fail to return from flight, according to story told to the Poles by one Russian flyer who came down within the Polish lines near Dvinsk. The Russian avitor denied that his own landing was premeditated and asserted that he loved his wife too much to leave her as a hostage. He said the order resulted from discov- cry by the bolshevik commanders that number of their flyers had planned to resert and use their planes to seek refuge in Poland. The plane used by the bolshevik was of an obsolete type built in France early in the war and had seen hard usage.

Defends Claims
 of Australia to
 Vote in League

Sydney, Australia, March 27.-Aus- tralia's claim to the right to have one vote in the council of the league of nations was defended by Sir Jos eph Cook, minister of the navy, who was a delegate to the peace confer ence, in a recent speech here. Com menting on the attitude of q section of the United States senate toward the league he said:
 "America is making objection to clause x in the leagues charter. The objection is political from first to last. 1 believe that when the pres idential election is over all objec- tion will end" On the question of Austrian representation in the coun- cil of the league, Sir Joseph said:
 "The Americans led by Senator Lodge say that the British Empire have only one vote. Senator Lodges party objects to the Empire hav- ing five or six times the voting pow CT of the United States. It is not fair statement. All the other states in America have one vote"
 Sir Joseph enumerated under this head Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba. Ecuador, Guatemala, Hondudras, Liberia, Hai- ii, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru and Uruguay, and pointed out that the nopulation of these countries were largely Indian or negro. "The South American states" he continued, "have I2 votes. How do the British Do minions stand :? New Zealand, Canada, Australia, South Africa, India each has one vote.
 "Australia's sacrifices in the war GO,OO0 dead--were greater than Amer ica's, and all died in an effort to make America safes America was for three or four years out of the war while Australia was helping to keep her free.
 "It has been said that there is no force by which to carry out the treaty. There is the force in the background, and other things-the penalty of ostracism and the boy colt. No nation, unless it can con- quer the world, can ignore these penalties"

Form Ecumenica1
 Conference for 7 Peace Campaign

New York, March 27.-Preliminary arrangements for an ecumenical con ference, the first since the reforma- ton to represent "Christians of ev cry faith and land," have been ap- proved by the administrative commit tee of the federal council of the Churches of Christ in America, it was announced here today by the Rev. Charles s. Mcfarland, general secretary. One of it's objects is to make future wars impossible.
 Dr. Mcfarland said that in order to have the assemblage the most widely representative gathering of modern times, one that would em- brace every Christian denomination, all "questions for discussion are to be limited" He declared that the conference would be .sless dOctrinal and theological in it's purpose than the world conference on faith and or der, which is being promoted by the leaders of the Episcopal church look ing toward the reunion of all Chris tendom."
 The projectors, he said, are desir- ous that the conference shall be held only when the churches of all the na- tions are ready for it. "They hope,"' he said, "that the contacts of this gathering may furnish genuine ba- sis for brotherhood and understand ing" Already, he said, church fed erations of the Scandinavian coun- tries, of Switzerland and America, are. backing the movement which is expected to take definite shape after the meeting of an international com- mittee to be held in Geneva, Switzer- land, next August. This commit tee is expected to issue the invita- tions to the leaders of the various Christian faiths.
 "The Roman Catholic church has had it's councils" explained pr. Mcfarland, "such as the notable Vatican council under Pope Plus TX in 1870 when the dogma of Papal infallibility was promulgated. Pro- testant churches for several decades have been holding great information al meetings the last of which met in Edinburgh in 1910. While the ques- coming gathering will not partake of the profound theology that absorb ed the attention of the earlier coun- cils, yet in practical accomplishment for human welfare it should surpass them all"
 The American ecumenical confer ence committee which is arranging for the conference is composed of 79 members including Bishop w. F. An derson of Cincinnati, Dr. ames L. Barton of Boston, Bishop James Can non of Nashville, Tenn, the Right Rev. Thomas F. Gailor of Memphis, Tenn, Bishop E. H. Hughes of Mall den, Mass, Dean Smaller Mathews of Chicago, Dr. John R. Mott of New York, the Right Rev. Ethelbert Tal- bot of South Bethlehem, Pa., and Bishop Luther B. Wilson of New York.
