WANT WILSON'S OPINION.

Washington.-The French Govern
ment, through Ambassador Jusserand,
has asked for an expression of opinion
by President Wilson as to the French
occupation of cities in the neutral
zone beyond the Rhine.
It was learned that the French am
bassador presented statement Of the
French position to Secretary Colby
and asked that 1t be communicated to
the President Presumably this was
the communication referred to in re-
cent press dispatches from Paris as
having been sent to the American,
British and Italian Governments.
At the State Department it was said
that the United States had made no
statement with regard to- the advance
of the French forces and that it was
unlikely that any would be made for
the present, at least. The position OF
the American Government was de-
scribed as that Of merely an interested
spectator.
Officials said Great Britain and
Italy had taken the same view as the
United States that there was no OBJ
lection to the movement Of German
troops into the Ruhr district to Queli
disturbances there, provided they were
withdrawn as soon as normal cOndi-
tions had been restored.

ment.

Washington.-Congress was asked
formally Monday to appropriate $780,
727,341 to wind up the affairs of the
Railroad Administration.
In requesting the fund, Walker D..
Hines, Railroad Administrator, placed
the loss resulting from the Govern.
ment's experience in Federal control
at $900,478,756. In addition the Gov.
ernment has $500, 300, 1866 owing it by
the roads, the money having been ad
vanced for operating expenses and
betterments. Ultimately this fund
will be repaid.
Mr.. Hines explained that no allow.
ance had been made in his request to
cover any claims the roads might
have against the Government for
maintenance of the lines, because the
net amount for this purpose could not
yet be estimated.
Before the carriers were returned
to private operation last March Con-
gress appropriated 81, 1,450,0 900 for
the expenses of the Railroad Admin
istration and the new request to liQui-
date its affairs would bring the total
appropriations to $1,S70,727,341.
The losses incurred by the Govern
ment included $677,513, ,152 for the op-
Grafton of the so-called class one roads.
Operation Of smaller lines, sleeping
and refrigerator cars and steamship
lines caused a loss Of $43, oil, ,129, and
inland waterways $2,449,739. The
American Railway Express was op-
Grated at loss of $3S,111,742. while
miscellaneous losses were listed as ag-
gregated $125, ,43S,014. In addition, the
expenses of the central and regional
organizations of the Railroad Admin
istration were $13,954,9S0, and $3,445,-
222 will be required for its expenses
from last March until next January.
Under the transportation act, $780,
079,575 of the $966,S03,363 due the
Government by the roads will be fund
ed for a period Of 10 years. This was
advanced for improvements. An addi-
tional $685., 7,S06, 1868, advanced for equip
ment purchases, will be payable in Is
annual installments. In addition, the
Government sold s144,422,526 Of one
year notes Of the carriers, $44, ,433. .664
Of long term notes, $35,221.199 of
stocks, bonds or receivers certificates
and $90,258,305 as miscellaneous in
vestments." The inland waterways
owe the Government $14,581 ,126.
Mr. Hines letter also showed that
the Railroad Administration expended
$765,821,450 for improvements on the
roads, but of this amount he listed
$495, ,741,875 as the probable deduc-
tions" to be made under the Railroad
bill for debts owed to the lines by the
Government in the form of rent.

traI Zone.

Paris.-French soldiers occupy the
German cities Of Frankfort-on-Main
and Darmstadt, 16 miles south. Forces
commanded by General Degouette,
which have been holding the Mayence
bridgehead, were ordered forward by
Marshal Foch following the efforts on
the part Of the French Government to
induce the Berlin Government to with
draw it's forces from the neutral zone
along the eastern bank of the Rhine,
where they had been ordered to dis
perse communistic units that for the
past fortnight have conducted re-
volt in the Ruhr Valley.
Stirring scenes at Mayence are de-
scribed by Henri Bidou, military critic
of the Journal Des Debts, in tele-
gram to his paper. He says that dur
ing the afternoon troop activity began
and soon auto trucks and field
kitchens began moving eastward, &C.
companied by Moroccan troops with
machine guns.
Premier Millerand formally notified
DR.. Won Mayer, the German charge
d'affaires, of the action of the French
Government in ordering the advance
and informed him that as soon as
there had been complete evacuation
of the neutral zone by the German
troops the French would evacuate the
cities they had been ordered to oc-
cupy. The premier's note read:
by my letter of April 2 I asked
you to make insistent representations
to your government to obtain the i'm
mediate withdrawal Of the German
troops which unduly penetrated the
neutral zone fixed by Article %, Of the
Treaty of Versailles.
my request having obtained no re-
suit up to this time have the honor
Of informing you that the general
commanding in chief the Army of the
Rhine has received orders to occupy
Immediately the cities Of Frankfort,
Homburg. Hanau, Darmstadt and Die
burg. This occupation will end as
soon as the German troops shall have
completely evacuated the neutral
zone."
Marshal Foch had a conference with
Premier Millerand. Later the premier
received Hugh c. Wallace, the Amer
ican ambassador.
The French Government has not re-
ceived a reply from Great Britain and
Italy to it's notification to them of the
occupation of Frankfort, Darmstadt
and other German cities in the Rhine
land. -
The supposition in certain quarters
is that the communication made by
Hugh c. Wallace, the American am
bassador, to Premier Millerand had
some relation to this fact, but nothing
is really known yet to support this
theory

WAGE DIFFICULTY
BACK TO WILSON
For the Third Time Il is Referred
to the President
CONFERENCES ARE FUTILE
Chairman Jewell, Declares Employees
Were Disappointed At The Posi-
tlon Taken BY The Railway
Executives' Committee.

Washington.-The whole railroad
wage controversy was placed before
President Wilson for the third time
since railroad labor filed its demands
for a general increase in wages last
summer.
In a letter to the President, B. M.
Jewell, chairman of the Railway Com
mittee, which constitute the labor
party on the Railroad Wage Board.
said he regretted very much ito ad-
wise you Of our failure to obtain any
beneficial results from these confer
ences."
The employees, Mr.. Jewell said, were
keenly disappointed at the position
taken by the railway executives COM
mittee, which announced a deadlock
and the withdrawal of the railroad
members from the conference.
Mr.. Jewell did not ask the Presi.
dent to lay the wage controversy be-
fore the Railway Labor Board, which
is to be nominated by the President,
as provided in the transportation act
and on which the public will have
representation.
Attached to Mr.. Jewells letter was
correspondence setting forth the at
titude of the men and the executives
committee. E. T. Whittier, for the rail-
way executives, wrote that while an
agreement as to wages might be
reached by direct negotiations be-
tween representatives of the roads and
the men, the executives did not be-
lieve Congress contemplated settle
ment involving SO great an addition to
transportation costs without the pub
lie being represented in the confer
ences.
Replying to this letter Mr.. Jewell
said he believed the reason given by
the managers for terminating the
negotiations was mot in accord with
our understanding of the law"
"The attitude Of your committee in
failing to carry out the wishes Of the
President of the United States comes
as surprise to u.s." Mr.. Jewell wrote
to Mr.. Whittier.
1T will result in keen disappoint-
ment to our constituents as we'll as
the general public, both Of whom are
parties at interest and entitled to
more consideration from the biparti-
san board than you have elected to
give.
I'VE understand from this that your
committee has definitely declined to
assume the responsibility and perform
the duty which is so clearly desired
in the public interest and which the
transportation act, as we understand
it, contemplates-that of agreeing in
conference upon rates Of pay for rail-
road employees which are just and rea-
sonable."
Union officials reiterated that, at the
request of the President, they were
"going along to give the transporta-
ton act a fair trial." although they
did not indorse any of its provisions.
