Constantinople, March 24.-Adri-
anople is reported to have declared
its independence.
Dispatches from Beirut announce
that Emir Feisal, recently pro-
claimed king of Syria, has given the
French until April E to leave Syria
and the Arabs have ordered the
British out of Palestine.
Prince Feisal, son of the king OF
Hedjaz, has been ordered to ex-
plain to the supreme council of the
allies the steps leading up to his
being crowned king of Syria. Pre-
mier Lloyd George announced that
recognition was denied him by the
allies as the ruler of that country
and Lebanon protested against his
sovereignty.
After the ceremony of his procla-
nation Emir Feisal declared that
this would not affect relations with
the allies.
Late dispatches from Novorossisk,
capital of the territory of the Black
sea, say that the remnants of the
volunteer army are evacuating rap

said:
"The adoption by SO states OF the
federal suffrage amendment will
change our constitution, but until

"If Connecticut should be one OF
the 36 states to adopt the suffrage
amendment by the vote of the gen.
eral assembly. and thereby change
our constitution without the con-
curing vote of the electors of the
state. it would be contrary to the

Chicago Concerns
Facing Shutdown
Through Coal Famine

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, March 24.-Because Of
limited production, Chicago is facing
a Goa, shortage that threatens to be
more serious than that encountered
during the bituminous strike period.
In addition to the shortage in pro-
duction there is serious shortage
in coal cars
Many big concerns in Chicago
have less than 10 days supply Of
coal. The Edison company has
enough fuel to run Is days by prac-
ticing economy. Several corpora
tons are. down to five days supply
or less and must close, as they have
never been able to stock up since
the strike.
Householders. who learned bit
ter lesson last winter, are also
clamoring that their bins be filled
at once, but the companies are uu-
able to meet those demands. Sew
eral concerns will be forced to close
early next week, as they cannot get
fuel anywhere at any price.

Fl PaSo. Tex, March 24.-An en-

homes and crops, it was learned On
good authority today.
Angered because small party of
his men had been fired upon near
the community on the previous day.

on the place. The farmers stoutly
defended their homes and it was
not unts 25 or 80 of them had been
killed and their ammunition exhaust
ed that the survivors, 25 in number.
surrendered.
These survivors. there is reason
to believe, would have escaped with
their lives. had not one young man,
crazed with grief over the loss of his
wife and family, attacked Villa and
attempted to wrest the rebel lead
er's gun from his hand. Villa. being
larger and heavier than his adver-
sary, subdued the man after strug-
gle and shot him dead In his fury,
Villa then ordered all the men Of
the community put to death and the
houses, grain and other possessions
Of the community burned
According to one of the three men
who escaped death at the hands of
the rebels, small party of Villa
followers rode up to the village on
Saturday night and demanded pro-
visions. Upon being refused they
threatenend to shoot I'D the COM
munity ard members of the local
militia. or social defenders, opened
fire on them, driving them into the
brush
The next morning the reprisal
attack began and lasted several
hours, during which time the farm

commons from Paisley, Scotland,
i'll speech at the National Liberal
club, replied to Premier Lloyd
Georges declaration that all the old

Mr.. Asquith said the appeal was for
class cleavage and the most mis-
chievous thing that had been done.
He branded the Irish bill>"a most
fantastic and impracticable scheme
and the greatest travesty of self
government ever offered a nation"
The significance of Mr.. Asquith's
speech is that it registers the formal
split in the liberal party. 1t is
pointed out that all liberals now

will support the coalition party Of

STRUGGLE OVER
APPROPRIATIONS
COMES TO CRISIS
Administration Increase of Cler.
ical Force Causes
Hot Debate.
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.

ShichgO IriDuhe"Omaha bee Leased wire.
Washington, March 24.-Disclos-
ure that the administration is not
only retaining the civilian war ma
chine practically intact at vast ex-
pense 10 months after the war end
ed, but is now actually increasing
the clerical force, has brought to a
crisis the struggle between the leg
islative and executive branches over
the reduction of appropriations.
Convinced that the administration
officials are persistently misrepre-
senting the needs of the bureaus in
order to retain an army of superfu-
Gus clerks on the payroll, the repub-
lican steering committee of the
house has ordered that all depart
mental demands for money be
"slashed to the bone"
In accord with this policy, said
Chairman Good of the house COM
mittee on appropriations today, the
sundry civil appropriation bill will
carry only little more than $780,
100000 instead of more than $780,
100000 asked by the departments.
Aim to Save $1,000, 100000.
Navy estimates for the next fiscal
year have already been reduced from
S647. .63l.254, asked by Secretary
Daniels. to $425, 5,2S9,574, voted by
the house. The house committee on
military affairs, which will begin
hearings on the army appropriation
bill tomorrow, expects to cut $780,
100000 from the army estimates
which totaled more than $9S9, 100000.
The republicans aim to save
81 ,000,000,000 altogether to the tax
payer from the amount asked by
the administration for next - year
which was S404,850,546 in excess Of
the total appropriated for the cur
rent fiscal year. The prospective de-
ficit this year on the basis of the
administration request for funds is
$3,000,0 100000, but by holding down
expenses the republican leaders hope
to wipe this deficit out by June |,
1921,
