Question Of Number of
Former Arises; Latter
Rur, in Some Families

WASHINGTON, Apr 26.-Whether
there is one great universe, perhaps
ten times as large as is commonly be-
lieved, or million "island" universes
similar to that of which the earth is a
part, was discussed at to-night's ses-
sion of the National. Academy of
Sciences.
DR.. Heber D. Curtis. of Lick OBJ
servatory, California, defended the old
idea that the milky way contained
practically all the stars, the planetary
and diffused nebula and the star clus-
ters. DR.. Curtis said such universe was
"relatively small" being less than 10000
light years in diameter and not more
than 5000 light years in thickness. He
reminded his hearers, however, that
light travels $4,000 miles a second.
Another discussion concerned twins
in the human family. Dr. Charles B.
Davenport, of the Carnegie Institution,
presented study showing that about
IL per cent of human births were
plural. and that twins are especially
apt to occur in families of which the
mother or father. or both, have close
blood relatives who were twins

ton facilities save those afforded by the

normal schedule yesterday. There are
no bus lines serving the districts pene-
trated by the Bulls Head, Casteton
Avenue and Jersey Street trolley lines.
Bus drivers were approached yester-
day bv agitators who sought to per-
suade them to go on strike to-day un-
less the city increased the fare to 10
cents. None of the drivers succumbed
to their arguments so far AS could be
asccrtaincd, but the agItators declared
thew would resume their task to-day

hour for the strike. because those at

Franco British Pact Adopted

SAN RENO, April 26 By The Asso-
ciated Press The Supreme Council
to-day adopted the Franco British dec
laration with regard TO Germany after
inserting clause declaring its readl-
ness to take all measures. even the oc-
cupation of additional German terri
tory, if necessary, to assure the carry
ing out Of the Treaty Of Versailles
The adoption of this clause gave rise
to some discussion, Premier Nittl Of
Italy opposing military measures. Pre-
niers Millerand and Lloyd George. how
ever, showed the italian Prime Minister
the necessity of considering such an
eventuality, and Foreign Minister
Hymans of Belgium and Baron Matsui
the japanese Ambassador to France
joined them in this point of view. which
was adopted by the council
The text of the common declaration
adopted by the Allies at the close of
the work of the conference saws:
The Allied powers have taken cogni-
zance of the letter Of DR.. Goeppert
lhead Of the German delegation in
Paris) of April 20. transmitting q re-
quest from the German Minister Of
War, asking that the German govern
ment be authorized to retain an army
provided for in the Versailles Treaty.
and affirming that this is a necessity
to maintain order.
German Action Criticized
THE Allies must declare immediate
ly that proposition of this nature
cannot even be examined as long as
Germany is failing to meet the mos.
important obligations imposed by the
peace treaty and does not proceed with
disarmament, on which depends the
peace Of the world. Germany has not
fulfilled its engagements, neither con-
corning the destruction Of war mate
riel nor the decrease of its electives.
nor for the supplying Of coal, nor for
reparations or the costs of the armies
of occupation. 1t has given neither
satisfaction nor made excuses for Grim
inal attacks which several times mem
bers of the Allied missions in Germany
have been the victims of.
ut has taken no steps to determine.
as was provided for in the protocol Of
the treaty, its obligation concerning
reparations in order to make PROPOSE
tions with the view Of fixing the total
amount which it must pay, despitH the
urgent character that settlement OF
this sort presents in the interests of
all the parties concerned 1t seems to
have not even considered how It can
meet its obligations when they become
due
"The Allies realize the difficulties met
by the German government and do not
seek to impose too narrow an interore-
tation of the treaty, but they arc unani-
nous in declaring that they cannot
tolerate continuation Of these infrac-
tons Of the Treaty OF Versailles, that
the treaty must be executed and remain

SAN RENO, Italy, April 26.-The
San Reno conference ended to-day
after the most eventful sessions Of
the Allied Premiers since the Paris
peace conference. Premiers Lloyd
George of Great Britain and Mile
rand of France tomorrow will start
arm in arm for the north, leaving
Italy to reach an agreement with
the Jugo-Slavs on the Adriatic issue,
including the problem Of Fiume.
The Premiers before adjournng
dispatched joint answer to Ger
Snany's three requests for modifica-
tions of the treaty. They refused
permission for the maintenance Of
German army because the Berlin
government had shown no readiness
to fulfill the treaty's terms, and
warned that the Allied governments
were agreed that they would enforce
those terms even at the cost of a
new invasion of Germany. The Pre-
niers' memorandum suggested, how
ever, that in order to facilitate ne
gotiations with Germany they would
meet Chancellor Miller at Spa on
May 25.
Nitti Appeals for Leniency
At the final sitting Premier Nitti
of Italy made an eloquent appeal sup
porting the opinion he holds with char
acteristic courage that more lencncy
should be shown to Germany. Nitti
said the Supreme Council still breathed
the spirit of war and he begged the
Allied leaders to use more moderate
ways Of attaining their ends.
Premier Millerand, in reply. said
that while he was touched by the sen
timents expressed by the italian
Premier, it was the belief of France
that the best way to reach real feel.
ing of cordiality with the late enemy
was for the latter at least to begin
carrying out the provisions of the
treaty.
1t is declared in British official
circles that the notes to President vii
son were dispatched yesterday. but the
texts "lIl be withheld from publlca-
ton
1t was announced that the council
on Saturday formally accepted the text
of a note to Nj. krassn. the Bolshevik
peace comm ssioner. about resuming
commercial relations with the soviet
government now in Copenhagen, bu;
saying the Allies will not admit Maxim
Litvinoff. another Bolshevik delegate
to their capitals TO act as negotator
The Allies will continue to negotiate
with Krassin.
