DUTIES OF WALKER D. HINES
AS ARBITRATOR IN EUR ROPE

Details OF the work to be performed
by Walker D. Hines as arbitrator be-
tween the European powers concerned
In various questions affecting navi-
cation on the Danube, Oder and Elbe
and some other rivers Of central Eu-
rope were made public last night.
! The work to be performed by Mr..
Hines as arbitrator under the Ger
man. Austrian and Bulgarian treaties
is of particular Importance in con-
nection with the Danube river. where
the ownership of very large num-
Der of steamers and other river prop
erty is in dispute, with the result that
navigation on the Danube has been
seriously interfered with, with conse-
quent deterrent effects on economic
conditions in the various countries for
which the Danube is a principal
means of communications. While the
work affecting navigation on tne
Rhine, Oder and Elbe and some other
rivers of central Europe is also inn
portant, it is anticipated that the con-
ditions on the Danube are particu-
larly pressing.
AS to the vessels in dispute on the
Danube. many of them fell into allied
hands during the allied advance into
territory to be occupied by the allies
under terms of the armistice and
were taken possession of after the
enemy had agreed to an armistice. A
few of them were turned over to the
allies by the enemy for supply of the
armies of occupation under the terms
of the Austrian armistice and Hunga-
rian military convention. The balance
were seized by allied forces in terri
tory beyond that which was to be
occupied under the original terms OF
the armistice. The questions of own
ership are further complicated by the
fact that some Of the vessels in Ques-
ton belonged to enemy ports WhIch
have since become allied ports under
the changed frontiers.
The German, Austrian and Bulga-
rian treaties contemplate that as be-
tween the European powers affected
the arbitrator, Mr.. Hines. shall set
tie the conditions as to the cesslon
Of all boats and movable appliances
belonging to inland navigation WHICH
are necessary to be ceded for the
purpose of reparation or restitution
in kind, and shall also determine the
amount of boats and other material
to be ceded for the utilization of the
rivers referred to by the allied and
associated powers, and shall distrlb-
ute among such allied and associated
powers the materials and boats SO
ceded Various questions relating to
the nationality of the boats on some
Of these rivers and to the ownership
of the boats and the amount of COM
pensations to be paid to the owners
win also be involved in the deter
mination.
In connection with the final determi
nation of the issues as to the situa-
ton on the Danube it probably will
be necessary for a decision to be
made as to the date of the cessation
of hostilities on the eastern front,
the effect of the armistice OF the Sd
Of November, 1918. and Of the military
convention of November 49, and the

GENEVA, May 15.-The race ques-

portions in 1914, as the result of the

t the campaign to decide whether or
not Switzerland shall join the league

! Swiss, though somewhat divided, are
! predominantly against it. The Ger

| mere French dependency. The French
! element accuses the Germans of
wanting to make Switzerland into a

! If the vote should be affirmative

PRESBYTERIAN
LADIES' PARTY WAS
SPLENDID SUCCESS
Ladies Aid Society Give Very Sue
cessful Birthday Party With
Unique and Pleasing Program

The program of the Ladies Aid
Society of the Presbyterian Church,
given at their birthday party on Sat
urday evening in the Garside Building
was among the most unique and
successful of its kind, ever given in
this city. The room was crowded
to the doors and many were unable
to get into the building at all The
decorations had occupied a great
deal of time and attention in prepar-
alton and was fit setting, as 1t was
with little fancy that the audience
could realize that they were in
flowery Japan. The program was
entirely of local talent and so well
arranged in it's selections that all
were delighted. Few cities could
afford SO many varied possibilities
in reading, vocal and instrumental
music, as our city possesses and the
generosity and willingness of those
who assisted in the program, was
eclipsed only by the performance
of their parts.
The ladies who managed the tea
room we're stormed by great crowd
of approaching guests. anxious to
do justice to the tables laden with
good things to eat. The decorations
in their department were of brilliant
colors and beautiful roses and wis
terra pleased every eye. The whole
was set in a background of green
boughs planned to give greatest
prominence to the bright colors. At
the door were stationed little girls
dressed in white, carrying baskets
decorated with white roses who re-
;ceived the bags representing the ages
of those entering. ..r
So many people responded to the
success of the whole affair that 1t
would not be possible to mention
their names. However, the ladies
of the society wish to extend their
heartiest appreciation to all who as
sisted and to thank them for the
kind and happy response that was
given. Remarks were frequent from
the guests that this should be made
an annual affair.
