g.. IN THE BLACK SEA

Constantinople, Feb. 10.-The
American destroyer Talbot was re
ported today in distress near Ser
pent's Island, in the Black Sea. 1t is
thought, however, that. the report
may refer to the Talbot's standing

is towing a tanker and two tugs
loaded with refugees from Odessa
toward Constanza, Rumania, under
bad weather conditions.
A blizzard is general over the
Black sea.
The Russian. steamer Gregorieff

ing station at the Black sea entrance
to the Bosphorous. One hundred and
fifty of her passengers were rescued
in the raging storm by means of a
line anded from the ship by a rock
ct, and efforts are continuing for the
rescue of the 200 remaining passen-
gers and crew.

INFLUENZA EPIDEM.
is DECLINING, REPORTS
. TO WASHINGTON SHOW

Washington, Feb. 12.-The .influ-
enza epidemic of 1920 seems to have
reached it's peak and is declining, ac-
cording to reports to the public
ic health service. The excess NOR
tality rate due to influenza for 1920
is only about so per cent of what it
was corresponding period, in 1918,
it If estimated.
A comparison of the excess NOR
tality rate per 100000 of population
for the respective peak weeks of 49,
20 and 1918, shows: :
Chicago, 1886, as compared with
1920.
Milwaukee, 1,434, as compared
with 1915.
Washington, 2,O72, as compared
with 9,7s9.
These rates may be taken as fair
indication of conditions throughout
the country the health service said.

DEFINITE ANSWER
ASKED Of WILSON
Want Assurance of Reduced Cost of
Living-Interview With President.
Alternative of Increased Wages.
Conference Today at the
White House.

Washington, Feb. 12.-President
Wilson will be asked tomorrow by
spokesmen for more than 100000
railroad employees that definite as
surance, be given of an immediate
reduction in the cost of living, lead
ers in the wage negotiations de-
clared tonight. AS an alternative, the
union representatives will claim in
creased wages, demands for which
were not pressed at Mr.. Wilson's re-
quest last summer.
Representatives Of the workers, it
was estimated tonight, based their
hope for higher wages largely on the
increase in the cost of living since
the last general wage increase in 49,
18. The cost of living question, while
always to the fore in the negotia-
tions which the union men have had
with Director General Hines, will be
employed to the full extent of the
unions power in the conference
with the President, it was indicated.
Immediately after. the announce
ment from the White House that the
President would see union commit
tee of three personally, meeting of
all union heads interested in the con-
troversy was called and preparations
were begun for possible presenta-
ton of verbal claims in amplifica-
ton of the written statement sub
mitted through Director General
Hines. ,..
The employees will be represented
by B. M Jewell, acting president of
the Railway Employees Brotherhood,
American Federation of Labor, E. j.
Manion, president of the Order Of
Railroad Telegraphers land Timothy
Shea acting president of the Broth
erhood Of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginement.
The conference will be held on the
south lawn of the White House
where Mr.. Wilson spends a portion
of his mornings.

ALLIED COUNCIL TO
INSIST ON TRIAL OF
HUN WAR LEADERS

London, Feb. 12.-The allied su-
preme council today, after discuss
ing the situation arising from Ger,
many's violent protest over the ex-
tradition demands, agreed to insist
upon those demands, it was stated
tonight.
1t had been reported that the
differences between France ard
Great Britain as to whether the de-
mands should be modified.
1t is probable that the position Of
the allies will be set forth soon in a
statement. This may take the form
of another communication to Ger
many, or possibly one to Holland. AS
far as can be ascertained, however,
nothing definite has been decided
regarding any further steps to- be
taken toward Holland.
The coucil, in dealing with other
questions, decided that financial ex-
perts Of the allied governments
many of whom are here, should meet
soon to discuss the problem of inter
national exchange in an effort to de-
wise plan for its stabiization. 1t
was not settled when the first meet
ing of these experts should be he'd.
TIE council decided finally that its
headquarters should remain in Paris.
For the convenience of the British
government authorities, however, it
will continue to sit here for the pres
ent, probably through the coming
fortnight. It is expected that Pre-
miers Lloyd George and Nitti will be
in constant attendance. Premier
Millerand probably will be called
home before long, in which case
France will be represented by Phil
ipe Berthelot, political director of
the foreign office, and Paul Cambon,
ambassador to Great Britain.
Although Marshal Foch and Gen
eral .Weygand arrived at No. 10
Downing street just before the first
session of the council today, they did
not attend either of the two meet
ings held. Belgium was represented
by Premier DelacroiX.

LITTLE PROGRESS IS.
MADE IN TREATY.
New Draft is Not Heartily Welcomed.
Will Meet With Cold Shoulder
Democrats and Republicans
Alike Are Not Enthusiastic.
Other Proposals.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Llttle pro-
gress was apparent today in nego-
tiations over the new Article 10 re-
seryation to the peace treaty brought
forward yesterday by Republican
senators.
In addition to its failure to COM
mand the Democratic support for
which it's sponsors had hoped, it was
said the new draft had been found
unacceptable to some reservationlsts
on the Republican side who threaten
ed to Join the 'irreconcilabe oppo-
nents of ratification if the modifica-
tions proposed were made in the
original Republican reservation.
A canvass of the 49 Republicans
is understood to have shown that on
ly about 80 could be counted on to
vote for ratification with the
changed reservation under which the
United States would decline to guar
antee the integrity of league men,
bers by force, economic boycott or
s.any other means" except when con-
gress acted. Sixty-four votes are
necessary to ratify land doubt was
expressed generally whether "a
Democrats could be induced to de-
sert their party leaders. Senator
Hitchcock Of Nebraska, who has de-
clared the revised draft would en-
body a surrender of the treaty's
friends. .
Numerous other proposals to solve
the Article 10 difficulty were dis
cussed during the day the leaders on
both sides comforting among them
selves on the subject. Senator Hitch
cock also saw several Republicans of
the mild reservation group but it was
declared that no conclusions were
reached.
