PACKERS BILL

Indications of a bitter fight among
Republican Senators over the Ken

liminary discussion of the measure
in the Senate yesterday afternoon.
Senators Kenyon and Gronna

to keep the Senate here indefinitely
should an effort be made to pass
the legislation.
Gronna contended the bill would
not destroy the packing sindustry.
Sherman insisted that il GEonna be-

London, May 22.-Six thousand
children in the war torn and fam
ished districts of Europe today are
asking whether heaven is not in the
United States. Everywhere Ameri-
can relief workers go with whole
some American food the women and
children who have lived on short
rations and poor food for several
years imagine the supplies sent out
from the United States for them
are just a little bit of heaven.
Today the American Relief ad-
ministration received a. telegram
from Jitomir in the Ukraine, from
which the Bolshevist forces recently
were driven by the Polish and
Ukraine armies, stating that of six
teen thousand children in that city
requiring immediate assistance only
six thousand could be supplied, but
arrangements Immediately were
made through Warsaw to. have the
additional ten thousand fed.
American relief workers follow
ing in the wake of the anti-Bol-
shevist forces have gone to Kiev on
a similar mission. The fact that
children in the Ukraine, which. is
Russia's granary, are in need of
food indicates the plight of children
in Soviet Russia must be extremely
serious. ..

date Decision Soon.

Acceptance by President Wilson
of the allies invitation that he fix
the boundaries of Armenia, con-
firmed here yesterday following its
announcement in Paris, may take
on a much wider significance than
lies in the simple pronouncement.
Administration officials interpre ted
his action to mean this aovernment
either through Congressional action
or otherkise. soon would give a Yes
or "No" answer to the question of
taking aemEndate over the new state
and also that the United States
through the President would be
forced to adjudicate the claims of
France and Italy in Turkey in Asia
in the process of settling the terri
tory which shall be Armenia. The
new state. it has been freely recog-
nized, will be much CONSTRUCTED
territorially IL none of the great
powers is to specifically guarantee
her integrity.
The State Department said yester-
day nothing definite yet had been
done in the matter except the ac-
ceptance of the allied Invitation.
The ordinary course in the matter,
according to precedent, will be the
appointment of a commission to hear
the claims of the Armenians and
any who may oppose them with final
decision to rest with the President
1t is within the power of the Presi-
dent, however. to hear the matter
personally and il this course Is fol-

Baltimore Grows
To 1885 Population

Baltimore's population took a de-
cided jump since 1910 according to
figures announced last night by
the Bureau of the Census here. The
bureaus tabuIation of the returns
from the Monumental City indicated
an increase of 31.4 per cent, the
figures on the preliminary count
showing a population of 733.S2O in
1920. as compared with 55S.4S5 in
1910.
Though the bureau gave no reason
for the large jump in the figures,
they are undoubtedly an incident
of the war. due not only to an in
crease in the manufacturing there,
but also because the Monumental
City took charge of a large over
flow of government employees
brought to Washington by the war
and who had to find living quarters
there.

Vargas Tells of Dismissal.
Vargas, who. according to Direc-
tor Jones, was dismissed because he
was Incompatible" reveals some of
the reasons which, he says, led to
his dismissal.
One of the chief reasons, Vargas
said, was the objection he made to
payment of salaries to persons car
ried on the rolls of the bureau and
assigned to. other places in the
Treasury Department. This is in
violation of the act making appro-
priations for the bureau.
Vargas said he placed the matter
before the Comptroller Of the Treas
ury, who promptly stated Vargas
was right in coming 40 him when
the validity of the payment of gov
Iernment funds was at issue.
:. Clerks Were Psfs. 49,
As the clerks in question were
not responsible for their assign
ments. he authorized Vargas to paw
them their salaries. stating that the
certificate of the director that these
persons were employed on the work
