DOUBT EXPRESSED HERE OF RE.
PORT HE WILL PLAN MILL
TARY DRIVE.
WILL ADVISE THE POLES
Military Situation in Baltic States Also
Expected to Come Under Scrutiny
of the Great French Com
mander.

Washington-Off Officials here are con-
fident that Marshal Foch of France,
reported as about to leave Paris for
Warsaw, Will not go to Poland to ar
range an allied drive against the Rus
sian Bolsheviki. While official con-
firmation OF the plan Of Marshal Foch
has not yet been received, it has been
expected for some time.
The understanding here is that the
former allied-American commander
in-chief is merely going to Warsaw
and the present eastern fighting
fronts to make a general survey oil
the situation, primarily with view
to determining what Poland requires
for her army in the way of military
equipment ammunit "a and other sup
plies.
1t is expected Marshal Foch also
will visit the Denikine front and
probably Roumania, since there Is
prospect that the Bolsheviki army
also may seek to wrest Bessarabia
from Roumania. The military situa-
tion in the Baltic states also is ex-
rected to come under the scrutiny
of the great French commander.
There have been no intimations
whatever, however, that the supreme
council has determined to take ag-
gressive military action against the
Bolsheviki, certainly not unless. the
red army attempts to smash the Pol
ish army. Poland has perhaps a half
million troops and properly armed and
equipped it is believed they will be
more than able to hold their own
against any forces the Bolsheviki
may send against them The Poles.
even without adequate equipment.
with few men in uniform and many
in rags, so far have not yielded to the
Bnlsheviki at any important point.
Marshal Foch is expected to advise
with the Polish authorities regarding
the advisability of drawing in the
fighting front to a point which ap-
proximates the frontier of New Po-
land as tentatively outlined at Paris.
The Polish army now is far from the
border of Poland and one reason for
possible Bolshevih military onslaught
against it in force would be to push
the line off Russian territory, thu
advance into Russian territory was
made at least in part against the
advice of the supreme council, but
in connection with the forward move
ment of Denikine's forces when it APP
peared the Cossack commander would
succeed in eliminating the Bolsheviki
forces.

ANSWERS ALLIED POWERS
Constituent Laws of Country Have
Made It Refuge for the Van

- Conflicts.

Paris.--Holland's reply to the allied
demand for the surrender of the ex-
kaiser for trial is ian unqualified re-
fusal. The reason for rejection Of
the allied demand as set forth in the
official note signed by Van Karnebeek,
minister of foreign affairs, is that the
right of sanctuary has been a tradition
that in addition the laws of the ma
ton forbid the surrender to an out
side power OF any person who has
sought refuge within its borders.
Among other things, the reply says:
"The queen has the honor to OBJ

article 22S of the treaty of peace can
not serve to determine the duty of
Holland, which is not party to the
treaty.
"The government of the queen,

the demands of the powers except
from the point of view of It's own
duty. 1t was absolutely unconnected
with the origin OF the war and has
maintained, and not without difficult

1T rejects with energy all suspicion
of wishing to cover with it's SOY ereign

international policy of the powers.

MEASURE WOULD ABOLISH IL
CENSlNG AND PUT COMMlS-
SION IN CONTROL.
PRESIDENT WOULD APPOINT
Packers Would Be Required to Dispose
of Interest in Stockyards-com-
mission Would Be Given
Large Powers.

Washington.-Lice OF the meat
packing industry has been abandoned
In a new bill introduced by Senators
Kenyon and Kendrick for the control
Of that Industry. TSl;s measure takes
the place OF the Kenyon bill. which
was similar to the House bill spon-
sored by Representative Anderson OF
Minnesota, which required licensing.
1t also involves several other changes
for the control of the big packing i'm
dustries, the result Of protests which
have come in mostly from farming and
dairy interests. 1t provides for the
control OF the huge industry by COM
mission of three to be appointed by
the president with the consent OF the
Senate, similar in powers to the con-
troll of the railroads exercised by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Like the Kenyon bill, it requires
teh packers engaged in commerce in
dispose of ownership or control of or
interest in the stockyards within two
years, a period of time that may be
extended by the commission.
1t also compels the railroads to pro-
vide refrigerator cars The new bill
which has just been introduced differs
from the Kenyon bill in these three
important particulars.
Instead OF vesting the power to su-
pervise the meat packing and allied
industries, stockyards. etc. in COM
missioner of foodstuffs in the Depart
ment of Agriculture, 1t is vested In a
federal livestock commission to be
composed of three commissioners ap-
pointed by the president with the con-
sent of the Senate. The commission
is to have all the powers and duties
heretofore exercised by the bureau of
markets in the Department OF Agri-
culture relating to the acquisition and
dissemination of information regard
ing the production, distribution and
consumption of live stock or live stock
products. including operations in and
the ownership of stockyards.
1t is not mandatory, as in the Ken
yon bill, for packers, stockyard live
stock commission men, ETC., to secure
a license from the commission, but
the commission is given the power to
prescribe rules, regulations and orders
to regulate and control the regulations,
whether direct or indirect, of packers
or operators. to "the purchase, manu-
facture, storage or sale in commerce
of foodstuffs or commodities, other
than those handled in the business of
a packer or operator, respectively" >"
and the commission is given the pow
er also to require any packer or op-
orator ito refrain from direct or in
direct participation or interest in such
other business. either by ownership,
control. community Of stockholders or
otherwise"
Packers and stockyard men may,
on application, secure certificate to
engage or carry on the business of
packing. operating stockyards or stor-
ing Of live stock products, and must
ccmply with the regulations OF the
commission granting the license.

PILGRIM THEIRS
SHIP M4YFZOWER
FOUND, is CLAIM

LONDON, July 29-Discovery of
the hull of the Mayfiower. the ship
IN which the Pilgrim Fathers sailed
to America, is claimed by DR.. Rendel
Harris, chairman of the English
speaking Union, according to the
Daily Mail. He will reveal details of
the secret at a conference to be held
at Plymouth in September.
In the meantime, however, the pa
per learns that old timbers, including
oaken beams supporting the roof,
found in "a barn adjoining an inn
called Old Jordan's Hostel, at Chal
font St. Giles. Buckinghamshire, are
considered by DR.. Harris to have
originally formed part of the hull
and deck of the Mayhower. Some of
the beams. which are worn and
worm eaten. bear marks indicating
they might formerly have held ships
rivets and tackle.
There is local theory. the paper
continues, that Quaker formerly
lived in the neighborhood who was
professional shipbreaker, Selling
ship timberS to farmers of the sur
rounding country. 1t has been sug-
gested that he broke up the May
flower and sold the timbers to the
owner of Old Jordan's Hostel.
No proof of this vague tradition is
offered by the Mail.
