STEPS WILL Be
TAKEN TODAY To
DECLARE PEACE
Republican Leaders Plan to
Hold Conferences on the
Exact Form Such a Dec
IaratiOn Shall Take.

10y MORNING JoJ7NAL SPECIAL LEASED wIRsl
Washington, March 81. - Al
though active steps to declare a
state of peace by congressional res
olution are not expected until late
this week, republican leaders of the
senate and house are to begin con-
ferences tomorrow on the exact
form such declaration should
take.
Some senators and representa-
tives want to phrase the peace
measure in the simplest affirma-
tive terms, others prefer to repeal
the declaration of war and go on
record as demanding certain CON
cessions from Germany, while still
others are for inclusion of some
sort of a declaration of interna-
tional policy.
The principal opposition to Il
policy declaration is expected to
come from the treaty irreconcila-
bles in the senate, some of whom
have told the majority leaders
they consider the time inopportuno
for congress to take any binding
stand on the subject. These sena-
tors do not like even the pending
peace resolution by Senator Knox,
republican, Pennsylvania, which
re-affirms the belief of congress in
an international tribunal and dis
armament.
For the present. however, the
Knox resolution has the right OF
way so far as the senate program
is concerned.
The house foreign affairs COM
mittee already has several peace
measures before ii.

IS DECLARATION


Stuttgart, March 21 (by the AS
sociated Press) Gustav Noske,
minister of defense in the Ebert
government, before leaving here
last night for Berlin, said he would
soon restore order in Germany.
Reports from Mannheim say the
bridges on the south side of the
Neckar river have been closed to
prevent the spread of unrest that
has appeared in the factories of
Mannheim. The workmen are said
to have greatly lowered production
to enforce their demands for in
creased power for their workmen's
councils. Thus far there has been
no disorder but precautionary
measures are being taken by the
military officials.
Reinforcements are reported to
be gradually reaching General
Won Vetter, who will command
the government forces of 10000
men being concentrated against
the red army that took Essen. Of
ficials say that most of the
Reichswehr troops escaped frorn
Essen but that some we're cap
tured and disarmed and some shot.
Indications are that it will prob
ably be four days before General

ers had offered to negotiate new
contracts at conference with
operators and that none of the op-
orators had agreed to negotiate.
AS the mine workers have done
all in their power to negotiate on
the general principle of negotiation
carried on in the other districts
and will continue to try to open

the onus for any suspension of

to prisoners of war by Leon Trotz-

ter that city's evacuation by the
All-Russian forces. was told here
today by Maj. Gen, |. Thord Gray,
former officer of the British, Ca
madam and All-Russian armies
just returned from Vladivostok.
TrotZky, he said, addressing the
prisoners as Comrades" said they
would be welcomed by the Red
army if they cared to join. Captive
officers, he said, who wanted to re-
turn to Kolchak, would be given
safe escort and 1000 rubles each.
A number of the prisoners accepted
the offer and, returning to their
own lines. told what Trotzky had
done. Within two weeks, General
Thord-Gray said, Kolchak had
practically no army and a few
months later was executed.
General Thord Gray went to ST.
IBERIA with a Canadian expedition
and was taken prisoner by the boil
sheviki when they captured Vladi-

Toward the last, he said. the boil
shevik troops showed better morale
than KOlchak's men They also had
one machine gun for every twenty
men, whereas the Kolchak army
had only three with every battal-
ion, almost 600 men. During the
retreat of the Kolchak army, a
2,000mile retirement, they were
driven before machine guns but sell
dom before rifle fire. General SAX

DOLL BODIES USED
TO SHIELD ILLEGAL
BRANDY SHIPMENTS

Boston, March 21.-An Ital-
ian immigrant woman's eager
ness to remove from her trunk
a large china doll led to the
discovery by customs officials
today of 800 quarts of brandy
hidden in various parts of the
White Star liner Cretic from
Mediterranean ports.
The officers saw a woman
hastily take a doll from her
trunk and attempt to carry it
away. They also noticed that
two other women on the pier
were cuddling dolls in their
arms, Upon investigation they
found a gallon jug of brandy
beneath the dress of the first
doll and quart bottle conceal
ed in the clothing of each of
the others.
