FIFTY new SEATS
IN u. S. CONGRESS-
South and West Gain Most Ac-
Cording to the New Gen.
SuS.
ILLINOIS TO GET THREE MORE
Maine May Lose Seat, but New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan
Gain Four Each-House to
Consist of ABS Members.

Washington, Oct. DISCRIMINATION
of the final census figures of the coun-
try, which place the total population
of the Continental United States at
1O5,S63,1 ,10S, indicates that the West
and the South proportionately will
gain more in a political way than the
East or Middle West, through in
creased membership in the house of
representatives, more votes in the
electoral college and in larger delega-
tions to the national political conven-
tiOns.
This result will obtain whatever ba-
sis Of apportionment is adopted by
congress next winter fixing the size OF
the next house, which in turn is re-
tlected in the electoral college and the
conventions of the big political par
ties.
As a result of the increase of 49,
710,842 in population during the past
ten years, so new seats must be added
to the house to prevent any state
from losing any part of its present
representation. Should the present
membership Of 435 be left unchanged
by increasing the basis of apportion-
ment there will have to be a transfer
nine other states.
For the last half century the prece-
dent mas been tC increase the size of
| the house so as 10 prevent loss of ex-
listing representation ty nLy state. AS
a result the house has grown from
243 to 4S5 members, with only three
states-Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont-losing one member each in
the last so years.
If this precedent is followed this
year five additional representatives
seats must be given to California, four
each to New York, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and Michigan; three to Illinois
and Texas; two to Massachusetts, New
Jersey and North Carolina, and one
each to Alabama, Arizona, Connects
cut, Georgia, Maryland, Montana, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Car
olina. Tennessee. Washington, Wes
Virginia, Wisconsin, Arkansas ant
| Minnesota.
While the present basis Of appor
tionment is 211,S ,S77 inhabitants, or it:
major fraction, to the congressional
district, congress can increase the ba
sis to 219,427 without causing an.
loss. To advance beyond the latte
figure will mean that Maine woult
lose one seat, with the net result o
4S new seats in congress.
Congressional leaders are strOngl.
opposed TO any large increase in tn
house, as they regard the presen
membership of 435 as too unwieldly
The present individual population
of the various states and the figure
for the previous census are as 70

An acrimonious controversy has
arisen between President Wilson and
Senator Spencer of Missouri. The lat
ter, In campaign speeches, asserted
that the President during the peace
conference promised Roumania and
Serbia that If needed the American
army and navy would be sent to their
aid. This charge Mr.. Wilson branded
as absolutely false. The senator re-
torted that the alleged promise was to
be found In the stenographic report of
the eighth plenary session of the con-
ference, in which Mr.. Wilson was re-
ported to have said to Premier Bra
tianu of Roumania: "You must not
forget that 1t is force that is the final
guaranty Of the public peace. If the
world is again troubled the United
States will send to this side Of the
ocean their army and their fleet"
Spencer asked the President to pro
duce the report, but Secretary Tumulty
said on Thursday the President had nc
stenographic report of the eighth plen
ary session and, so far as the Presi
dent knows, there is no such record in
this country.

If it were not for the people Of Cali
fornia and few jingoes on both sides
of the Pacific, the threat of unpleasant
relations between America and Japan
would quickly fade away. The Ameri-
can associations of Tokyo and Yoko-
hama have cabled to Secretary Of
State Colby a set Of joint resolutions
urging that Americans "act with sober
deliberatton and patience, trusting the
respective governments to find a so
luton satisfactory and effective with
out affronting Japan or sacrificing the
principles of equity on either hand"
viscount Ishii, the new japanese
ambassador to France and one Of his
country's wisest statesmen, Is quoted
as saying: "War will never come be-
tween the United States and Japan,
unless the United States seizes Japa-
nese territory or Japan seizes Ameri-
can territory. Japan has not the re-
motest intention Of ever attempting to
appropriate any American territory"
He says there is no trade war on be-
tween the two countries, and that la
Dor and land problems cannot be per-
mitted to be magnified into questions
where war might be even envisaged.
He and other Japanese leaders assert
that most of the people of Japan real
lie that most of the talk Of interna-
tional trouble is due to the fact that
the United States is In the throes Of a
presidential election.

However, Wrangel has been making
such progress In his campaign that his
chances still seem good. In his ad-
vance northward he has taken many
thousands Of prisoners and vast quan-
titles Of material, and his forces also
pushed along the coast of the Sea of
Azov northeastward toward important
cities on the lower Don. Early In the
week II was said that Makno, the
Ukraine insurgent leader, had formed
a junction with Wrangel's troops and
IN a flying raid had seized Kharkov.
Later a wireless dispatch from Mos
COW asserted that Makno had Joined
the Bolsheviki and had been given n
command against Wrangel. It was
said his shift was due to the refusal
OF his troops 70 fight against the Boil
sheviki. Makno's past history inclines
ono to doubt the truth of this report.

per, General Weygand, who assisted

The Adriatic dispute between Italy
and Jugo-Slavia is in a fair way of
settlement, for cabinet members of
both nations met Friday in Venice and
resumed direct negotiations. Some
time ago Lloyd George and Millerand

Jugo-Slavs and Italians got together
it was nobody else's business, which
was taken as a warning to the United
States government to keep its hands
off, whatever may be the disposition
of Fiume.
