The anticipated veto by President
Wilson of the Knox peace resolu-
tion. passed by both Houses of Con-
gress, was received by the House
yesterday.
Action on the vote went over
until this morning, on motion of
Chairman Porter, OF the Foreign AZ
fairs Committee.
After a conference of the Repub-
fican members of the committee, Mr..
Porter announced he will move to
override the Presidents veto when
the House convenes-
Indications last night were that
a sufficient number of Democratic
votes cannot be won over to re-
pass the resolution. The majority
in the House last week, when the
Knox draft was accepted as a sub
stftute for the measure passed by
the lower branch, was seventeen
votes short of the two-thirds nee
essary to override the vote.
Lineup Unchanged.
Democratic leaders predicted the
lineup will be practically the same
as last week. and Republicans were
inclined to agree with this fore
cast II the vote is sustained in
the House. it will not go to the
Senate.
Reading of the veto message was
marked by no unusual incidents.
Only half of the members were
present and most of the seats in the
galleries were unoccupied.

action aroused but little enthusiasm

CUniversaI Service CnbIe1


Paris, May 27.-Astounding reve-
lations of graft, mounting into the
millions, in the supplies shipped to
the American Expeditionary Forces
during the war have just been
made in the course of taking an
inventory on army stocks bought
from the United States by France
last year.
At one A. E. F. depot there were
found to be piled up a full mile of
cases marked bottles of ink" or
canned food" Only the top layer
of each box consisted of full bottles
or cans; the rest of the bottles and
cans were empty.
Hundreds of thousands of pairs
of ''woolen" underclothes were
found to be cotton of the poorest
quality, while a vast number of
cases designated as containing
clothing were, either empty or re-
filled with tumble of material in
the worst possible condition.
Investigation showed that at
another depot there were five miles
of supplies, including beds, NUM-
tions, jam. shaving soap, gasoline
and even more than $4,000 cases of
baby underwear, baby socks, and
baby bonnets.
The French are frankly puzzled
by these remarkable discoveries and
are wondering what possible use the
Americans could have intended these
things for.
The depot at Gievres. which
covers a space of more than one
third the area of Paris, is chock-
full of this kind of army sup
plies" 1t is estimated it will take
not. less than five years to sell all
the stocks piled up there.
