 of the Red Cross

Geneva, March 2.-At the opening ot the congress of Red Cross socie- ties today, Henry P. Davison, chair man of the board of governors. allud- ed to the origin of the world Red cross movement at Geneva 57 years ago. He eulogi7ed the high ideals and practical efficiency of the Red Cross and sketched the considera- tons which brought about organiza- ton of the Red Cross league.
 Soon after the armistice was sign ed.' he said, several of us who were charged in part with the responsi- b'llty of some of the larger Red cross organizations, found ourselves laced with the task of demobilizing our forces, which had grown compar- atlvely very great. As we were con- templating this step we were impress ed With the fact that our forces were to be scattered and our organizations reduced there would be lost to the world one of the few benefcent re- suits of the war, which might be pre- served.

.eddes Has Great Knowledge of
 Trade Affairs

London, March 2.-Sir Auckland Geddes will be the first British Am bassador to go to the United States war era. Lord Reading as ambassa- trade affairs and a strong convic- tion of their underlying importance to the two countries in the post war era. Lord Raeding as ambassa- dor had business experience but his mission was concerned largely with war finance, while ordinary com merce was sidetracked b ythe neces. sites of war.
 Sir Auckland as president of the board of trade had partial supervl- sion of the consular service while dealing also with the most import ant business of the old school Flu ropean diplomate, now passing from the stage who considered high poli' tics their sphere, and trade almost beneath their dignity.
 While the ambassador declines to give interviews, he speaks freely of his impression that the chief possi- bility of friction of i'll feeling be- tween the people of the two countries in the near future lies in inevitable business rivalry between the two be- cause of their paramount position at the present time as the two great commercial powers of the world, whose present resources for trading equal, if they do not exceed the resources of all the rest of the world.

Hulian Girls
 Must Learn to
 Read to Marry
D0ughboy ROmeOs' Will Send Them to School if
 Necessary

New York, March 2.-Twelve ltal- ian girls, who came to the United States to marry American soldiers but who have been held at Ellis Is land, because they could not pass the literary test learned tonight Wash ington had ruled they may be ad- mitted to the country for sixty days providing they sign pledge not to marry during that time.
 If Senator Calder's pending bill to exempt them from the reading test is past, they will be free to wed their soldier lovers. Even if the bill fails to become law, there is a chance for the girls, for during the sixty days, they may learn to read the required forty words.
 The news spread so rapidly, and the doughboy Romeos acted so promptly that it was said at Ellis Island to- night, four or five of the girls prob ably would gain their freedom to- morrow, despite the fact that some of the men live in distant cities Every man had expressed his determ- ination to send "his girl" to school day, night or both-~until she can read
 Some of the girls have been at Ellis Island since October.

Johnson Takes Rap at Lowden
 and Gen. Wood

Mitchell, S. D., Mar. 2.---Senator Hiram w. Johnson of California, to- night opened fire upon his leading opponents for the republican nomin- ation for the presidency, charging that the expenditure of money in the South Dakota primary is such as has seldom been seen in any campaign.
 Ut is obvious" said the senator, "that this state has become tre- mendous battle-ground of the wealth and power and financial resources of my two leading opponents"
 Major General Leonard Wood and Governor Frank O. Lowden of Hi ncs are the conceded leaders in the South Dakota campaign.
 seldom in any state has such an extravagant expenditure of money in a primary campaign been seen. | cannot compete with them in this kind of contest. It may be their good fortune and my misfortune that they can expend enormous sums of money and that I cannot. have back of me no great corporation, no trust, no powerful financial interests. I am depending here, as ever in my political contests, upon the home loving, God fearing, free patriotic citizenship, the inarticulate mass who make this country great and in- sure it's future destiny.'

WRANCLE RESULTS
 AT HEARING ON THE
 SOLDIER BONUS BILL
Charge Plans Sent to Com mittee are to be
 Buried

Washington, Mar. 2.-Representa tives of the American Legion, ap- bearing today before the house ways and means committee at it's initial public hearings on a mass of bills designed to help former service men, strongly objected to popular charac- terization of soldier relief legislation as a government bonus. asf-t <
 Extra back pay, based on length of service for men not desiring aid thru land settlement, home building or vocational training was advocated by Franklin D'Olier, national com mander of the legion, who declared that three million men, with the tumult of war still ringing in their ears, firmly believed the government owed an obligation to all who came out of the conflict handicapped boli- ly and financially.
 There was a flare-up at the outset over method of procedure in hear ing more than 300 persons who have requested an opportunity to express their views on how best to aid the soldier. Charges made that the sol dier bills had been sent to the com mittee for burial until after the No vember election, were mentioned and sharply denied. The wrangle got so general that the hearing ended in confusion, the committee later agree ing at an executive session to listen to all witnesses, starting tomorrow if 1t took two months.

Public Attitude
 Help to Railroads

Chicago, March D. Asserting his be- lief that the people of the United States realized that the country could not prosper unless the rail roads were prosperous, William H. Finley, president of Chicago North western railroad in a statement to- day, declared the railroads must have sufficient income to meet the prob lems with which they were confront ed.
 The strongest ray of hope in the situation created by the return of the railroads to private ownership lies in the changed attitude of the pub lie, MT. Finley said.
 "As a result of government opera tion, the people of the United States have obtained a clearer idea of the railroad situation than they ever had before. They accordingly will look upon the transportation lines with less hostility and with less inclina ton to criticize than heretofore

 Mexican Chiefs Begin Can1paign
Presidential Race is Marked by Military Move
 mentS

Washington, Mar. 2.--Attention of officials of both the state and war departments was attracted today to the Mexican political situation by the reported arrival at Agu Prieta, on the northern frontier of the state of Sonora of Large force" of Mexi- can troops under General Manuel Dieguez.
 The report of the movement re- ceived here ascribed as the probable motive the determination of the cntral government to place itself in position to meet any movement that might be made by the forces in So- nora, which are reputed to be ready to support General Alvarado Obre- gon, candidate for the presidency in opposition to General Pablo Con- zales, popular regarded as the presi- dents choice.
 Obregon has shown no clear indl- cation of intention to resort to arms prior to the election, but the knowl- edge of his popularity with the na- tives of Sonora and other states of the west coast and the activet oppo- sition to his candidacy by the feder- al officials has caused those here observing the Mexican situation to regard with peculiar isterest any move by the federal army that might be construed as coercive measure

House Refuses to Cut Off Foreign
 Trade Attaches

Washington, Mar. By a vote of 21O to '39, the house today refused to stand by the action of the subcom- mittee on appropriations in eliminat- ing from the legislative appropria- .tion bill provision for continuing the department of commerce foreign trade attache service.
 Representative Sisson, democrah of Mississippi took care of the com mittee lapse by offering an amend ment providing for expenditure of $165, ,0OO for the service. It was ruled out on a point of order but the house overruled the decision of the chair and later adopted the amend ment.
 The house also voted to increase from $175,OO0 to $325 1000 the approp- riation for employing trade special sts to make investigations abroad and for publication of the reports Of consular agents. Without debate the house then approved an approp- riation of $100,000 for promoting trade with South and Central Amer ican countries.
 National commercial interests as represented nj the chamber of com- merce of the United States and other business organizations have been par ticularly active in their efforts to have appropriation for the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce re- stored.
 "The action of the house," said a statement tonight by the United States Chamber of Commerce, "shows real understanding on the part of house members of the value which the country's business men place on the work of these attaches. It is particularly helpful to business at this time that representatives of America's commercial interests are to be continued in such centers as London Paris, Madrid, Rome, Tokio Buenos Aires and Pekin."

ALLIES MAKE EFFORT 10 HELP GERMAN
 PEOPLE T0 FEET
Great Britain, LlOyd-GeOrge Credited With Change in
 Policy
FRENCH MOVING TO
 VIEWPOINT SLOWLY
Recognize That Germany Ruined Would he Weak and Danger ous Spot in Europe to Fix
 Indemnity

London Mar. "A noteworthy phase of the present meeting of the peace conference is the changed atti- tude toward Germany. In high diplomatic circles it is asserted that the conference has come to recognize that Germany ruined would mean weak spot, and a dangerous spot in Europe.
 Great Britain and personally Pre- mier Lloyd George are credited with bringing about this policy. The French peace delegation is described as moving toward this point of view French are less immovable than when M. Clemenceau was premier. How to set Germany on her feet is one of considering. 1t is considered prob. able that it will sanction an inter- national loan to Germany, but the question of security is basic one.
 It is expected that plan will be arranged which will offer induce ments to the rich smaller neutral countries to subscribe to loan. Even England, her representatives believe, will contribute, officially orS unofficially, also England's financial commitments of various sorts rising from the war are greater than those of any other nation. One of the American conferences expressed the opinion today that perhaps German sympathizers in America, at least will come forward with subscriptions.
 The question of finally fixing Ger many's war indemnities is being dis cusscd. The belief is expressed that Germany can organize it's finances and industries more efficiently if the German people know eactly what are their obligations, and what they are to be called upon to pay. This ques- tions, and what they are to be called upon to pay. This question was left to the separations commission. but the present idea seems to be that the conference probably will take it out of the hands of the commission.

WOULD ELIMINATE
 PACKERS FROM THE
 MEAT INDUSTRY
Texan Urges Substitution of Co.Operative Stock
 Yards

Washington. March g. Virtual elimination of the big packers from the meat industry and substitution of small, local and cooperative stock lards and slaughter houses was sug- gested today by Ed. B. Lasater of Texas, representing live stock grow ing organizations, before the house agriculture committee.
 Packing business now is unecono- mical. MT. Lasater asserted, caus- injury both to live stock, pro- ducers and consumers. Transporta- ton of cattle to the packing centers and return shipment of meat to con sumers involves an economic loss, he stated, which ca nbe eliminated only by legislation to reduce control of the big packers and to foster small cooperative agents widely distribut- ed.
 Lasater, also urged seuaration of large stock yards from packer con- trol. The yards. he said, should not be owned va holding company but by the railroads as a transportation adjunct. Transfer of packers stock in the yards to other than railroad interests, the witness said, would not meet the demand of the live stock producing interests.
 Independent stock yards ant slaughtering plants cannot be de veloped, MT. Lasater said, so Ions as congress permits the large pack CTS to have such preponderan share of business. Mere size of th' freight the big packers have to dis tribute. the witness declared, ob tained for the packers special favor from the railroads sufficient to shu off successful competition. MT. Lasater opposed ownership O refrigerator cars by the packers who he said. also should be divested of al interest in cattle loan companies Many o fthe witnesses who have op posed the pending leeislation fo packer control, Mr. Lasater said were borrowers from the packers o "packer banks"
 "We producers should not be limit ed in our borrowing to the men wh buy our product" the witness de clared, land the consumers of tn country also cannot afford it." l Mir. Lasater asserted, howeve1 that the packers and their cattle loa
 companies protect their borrowers
 but their loans, he added. gave tn
 packers power to intimidate thei debtors and prevent protests fror live stock growers against existin
 conditions. Cooperative cattle loa
 organizations, supplemented by sma
 cooperative slaughter houses an
 yards, were suggested by the wit ness.

TWO LAMENTATIONS
 PASSED BY SENkTE; 7 DEMOCRATS ASSIST
Morroe Doctrine and Internal Control Restrictions are
 Passed NnvEMRER MAJORITY AGAIN IS EXCEEDED u;xhy Among Those Who Vote With C 0. P. on Plans to Which Wilson Has StrenuOusiy
 Objected

Washington Mar. 2.---Two more
 of the republican reservations to the peace treaty, one of them af- fecting the bitterly debated Monroe doctrine provision, were re-adopted in the senate today without change and by greater majority than they commanded when originally present. ed last November
 The Monroe doctrine reservation, which senators have been told is scarcely less objectionable to Presi- dent Wilson than that relating to Article X, got the support of 15 dem- ocrats and won by vote of 5S to 22, after substitute drafted by the democratic leaders had been rejected. The vote on the republican proposal was 55 to 34 in November, when only nine democrats supported it.
 The other reservation acted on as sarts that the full jurisdiction of the United States over purely domestic questions and was adopted, 56 to 25, with IA democrats helping to make up the majority. In November it got the votes of only Il demo- crats and was adopted, 59 to 36.
 Little debate attended the senate's action, all elements approximately conceding that the roll calls were merely formalities to everyone to going on record before the final docket.
 It was over these two reservations that the bipartisan compromise ne- gotiations came to grief, the repub- ,lican leaders serving notice that they &uld consent to no modification in RSer and the democrats indicating 5kat neither would be acceptable as they stood On the democratic sub stitute presented today by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the party leader, the vote was strictly on par ty lines except for Senators Reed. Missouri, and Shields, Tennessee, who voted with the republicans in oppo- sition.
 | The domestic question reservation New over to it's support five demo- kvts who had not voted for it in No vember, Senatorss Ashurst, Arizona i; Putnam and Henderson, Nevada 1; Myers, Montana, and Nugent, Idaho On this proposition also Senator Hltchcock's substitute was rejected by a solid republican line up joined again by Senators Reed and Shields tomorrow the senate is to consider the Shantung reservation.
