Session on Monday.

LONDON. Saturday.-Sir Eric Geddes.
Minister of Transport, replying today to
the communication of the railway men re-
jectng the governments wage proposals.
said a full answer must wait until he
could bring the whole question before the
Cabinet as the issues involved were of
national importance and affected every
section of the community. He said this
course was necessary because the propo-
sails OF the government had been laid down
by the Cabinet members.
Sir Eric said he would give reply COW
ering the entire situation at the earliest
possible moment which would carry the
full authority OF The government.
Late this afternoon it was announced
that the government would meet the rail-
road men on Monday next

ferences. None of those present would
discuss what took place, referring the
newspaper men to the official statements

took the government nine months to frame
its proposals, which were so summarily
rejected by the men, and ask what the

offer as il now stands

FOR NEEDY EUROPE
Urges Need of Fund toFurnish
Food to Starving
Countries.
Herald Bureau,
No. 1.302 III Street, N. W.,
WaShipgtOn, ID. c., Saturday.


The expenditure of $3.50, ,OO0, 900 to furnish
food supplies to Austria. Poland. Ar
menia and other destitute European
countries was recommended today to the
Ways and Means Committee by Carter
Glass. Secretary of the Treasury. in a
formal communication. This recon-
mendation was supplemented by state
ment made in person to the committee by
Norman II. Davis. assistant secretary.
| 1t is proposed TO empower the United
States Grain Corporation to handle the
matter. and to supply the funds through
the use of the billion dollar fund pro-
vided Tor the wheat guafantee which re-
mains practically intact because the COR
poration was able to finance it's handling
of the guaranteed price without making
inroads into funds.
| The necessity for this expenditure, it
was asserted to the committee was due
to actual conditions of starvation in the
various countries which would receive
the benefit of the proposed fund.- and
that the suffering was increasing the
spread of Bolshevism and social disorder
and in consequence complete financial
disaster to those countries seemed inn
minent

Poland will have s50,000,000, representing
900 tons of grain, and the remainder
of 81, 100000 is to go TO relieve other con
ditions OF peril abroad. 1t is intended to
nave the European relief continue until
the next harvest.
The committee was furnished with con
fidential data by Secretary Glass, and
with additional information by Assistant
Secretary Davis, which apparently con
virced the members of the advisability
Of compliance with the recommendation
Mr.. Davis told the committee teiay thai

WASHINGTON, Saturday. - The
coming into force of the Treaty OF

While technically the state of war
between this country and Germany
still exists, trode between the coun-

and is steadily increasing, particularly
the export movement from the United
States.
The United States, however, will
not be represented on any Of the var

for carrying out its terms, nor can this
country send consular agents into Ger

Italian Steamer
Rumored Sunk by
Nine; 700 Lost

LONDON. Saturday.--An exchange Tele-
graph despatch from Genoa today says
the Italian steamer Principassa Msfalda
is reported to have struck a mine and
sunk, with the loss of 700 lives. The own
ers OF the steamer have no confirmation of
this report, and it is discredited by Llodys
Shipping Agency here.
The Principessa Mafalda has not been
reported since she left Buenos Ayres on
December 81 for the Mediterranean. She
is not due to pass Gibraltar for several
days yet, however. the average time of the
run from Buenos Ayres TO Gibraltar being
twenty days.
The Principessa Mafalda is a steamer of
9,21O tons gross, built in 1909. She is owned
by the Lloyd Italians line.

Semenoff Replacing
Kolchak's Officials
Despite Allies Wish
Especial Cable to the Herard.1

TOKYO, Saturday-General Semenoff,
who has assumed command Of all the
kochak forces in Siberia, is taking charge
of all the eastern region of that country,
from Vladivostok to the Baikal region, re-
placing the military governors appointed
by Admiral l.olchak with men of his own
appointment.
This action by General Semcnoff, how
ever, was expected. 1t means the carrying
out of a scheme which has long been ma
turing and against which the, Allies have
been working.
The announcement here that American
troops would be withdrawn from Siberia
created no surprise in Tokyo.
IL was officially stated in Washington
last Friday that no decision to withdraw
American troops from Siberia had been
reached. There has been no change in the
Siberian policy of government. it was said.
