Nomination to Be Secreta-
ry of State Reported
Favorably
WITHOUT RECORD
VOTE BEING TAKEN
Appointment By Wilson
Had Been Subject of
Extensive Hearings

Washington, D. c., March l9.-The
nomination of Bainbridge Colby to the
secretary of state, which has been the
subject of extensive hearings by the
Senate foreign relations committee,
was favorably reported to-day by the
committee without a record vote.
The committees report generally
was regarded as toreeasting favorable
action by the Senate. although it was
indicated that there probably would be
considerable debate. Some Republican
members of the committee, it was un-
derstood, gave notice that they would
reserve liberty of action when the
subject came up in the Senate.
Only a few minutes OF discussion
preceded the committees decision.
There was said TO have been a general
agreement that Mr. Colby's statement
yesterday had made it unnecessary to
call additional witnesses.

Constantinople, March l9.-Leaders

proposals for a peace unfavorable to
Turkey. Men closely associated with
Mustapha kemal, leader of the nation.

and other tribes are said to be aligned

Turkish newspapers frankly say the
allies cannot muster sufficient strength
to force an unacceptable peace upon
the country. They point to Captain
Gabrielle DAnnunzio's defiance Of the
supreme council Of the peace confer

allies have been powerless to enforce
orders, and say il would be better. in
any event, to risk humiliating defeat
rather than have thc country turned

With the exception OF the Msrash in.
cident, there have been no massacres of
Christians, although there arc large
numbers of Armenians and Greeks at
the mercy OF the Turks in Asia Minor.
These people are living in terror lest
they be attacked when the peace terms
are made known by the allies. and
even in this city well-to-do Armenians
and Greeks are moving into the EN-.
basSy section, which is under better
police protection than outlying parts
OF the city. In some sections Of Asia
Minor, Christians have appealed to the
entente to send troops. while in other
regions the allies have been asked TO
withdraw their troops. II being said
the presence of the soldiers adds to
the danger.
French detachments are reported to

Colorado That Trains
Were Held Up

Chicago, March l0.-Terrifc sand

a blizzard in the northwest. Only in
the eastern Rocky mountain region,
which suffered heavily yesterday from
wind which blew from AZ to 10 miles
an hour, was return to nearly normal
conditions reported.
In the southwest, principally Kansas,
much damage was reported to newly
planted wheat. The winds swept up
vast volumes of dust from the recently
cultivated fields and reports from some
places said the sun was obscured for
hours.
In Topeka, Kansas, and Kansas City,
Mo-, minor property damage was re-
ported.
Sleet and snow were driven by a
furious wind in Iowa, South Dakota
and Minnesota, those states reporting
storm equalIing in intensity any of

GRANITE WAGE CON- ~
FERENCE NEXT WEEK
Meeting VIII Be Held in Boston to
Consider Request of Cutters
For So a Day.

General interest in Barre, as well as
in many other places where granite is
produced, centers in the negotiations
which are about to be conducted rela-
tive to a request of the Granite Cut
ters' International association for an
increase of wages April !, over and
above the increase under the graded
scale of the present bill, which increase
becomes effective on that date The
request of the union is for a daily wage
of IS, instead of the $6.40 that was
due to become operative April l, next.
The present agreement also provided
for another raise on April /, 1921, to
$3.50.
One of the reasons advanced for the
request for readjustment Of wages
was the increased cost of living, al
though it is said that other arguments
will be presented at the conference of
the committee of the International
Monumental Granite Producers asso-
citation and the international executive
committee of the G. G. /. A. to be held
in Boston next week.
Under the new mode of reaching
agreements, the negotiations are con-
Quoted between the central admins

A Fatal Bolsheyik Mistake.

The bolsheviki in n moment of un-
wisdom have delivered themselves into
the hands of their enemies.
The moving picture industry has
been nationalized in Russia. like other
industries, and the soviet state has es-
tablished a training school for movie
actresses. Doubtless this was designed
ss shrewd piece of propaganda; for
the girls of a nation viii be unswerv
ingly loyal to any government which
gives them the opportunity TO learn to
be Pickford free of charge and with a
larger food allowance than is permit
ted to ordinary citizens But this
ofer of the proletarian state was at
once embraced by the aristocracy:
daughters Of noble families who in for.
mer days would have finished their ed.
ucation al girls schools Of the ordinary
type. now 90 submissively to the soviet
movie college to learn tho technique
Of the vamp. the angel-fsce and the
cutie.
But they win have their revenge.
The aristocracy is billing its time. The
bolsheviki have lavished care and mon
ey on the opera and Shakespeare. but
these more aristocratic forms ~ art
are patronized only by the proletariat
The old nobility concentrates on tho
movies And in a tsw years, when
All the goddesses Of tfe Russian screen
are aristocratic graduates Of the state
movie school. there viii be a sudden
and general strike Of film actresses TO
continue until Russia brings back a
czar. If that strike i not successful.
the Russian public has not vet been Cd
ucated up to the American level

by whites As the police approached,
