Sergeant Edward n. SeItz
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Pending
publication of President Wilson's an
swer to the latest communication of
the French and British premiers on
the Adriatic situation, the state depart
ment has made public the text of the
rremier's note containing an invitation
that Mr.. Wilson join them in urging
Italy and Jugo-Slavia to seek a settle
ment by direct negotiations between
themselves.
The reply of the president reached
London yesterday. but will not be
made public here until Monday owing
to delays in getting it into the hands
of Premier Millerand of France. No
hint has come from any official quarter
as to the course the president plans
to follow.
The invitation of the premiers. how
ever, was founded on a statement in
the last American note that such a
| settlement under certain conditions
would be acceptable to the president.
The premiers themselves character
ized the direct negotiation method,
ideal.
Would Consult America.
The state department made public
last night the text of the premiers
note containing the invitation, which
was coupled with renewed assurance
that it was their purpose to consult
the views of the American government
| whatever course the Adriatic problem
took, short Of ultimate failure to nego-
tiate a compromise of the treaty of
London In that event the note point
ed out, France and England would be
bound to adhere to their war time
| Will, Tfalv
The note of the premiers contained
also a suggestion that should the
direct conversations produce no agree
ment between Italy and Jugo-Slavia,
they would seek with Mr.. Wilson to
| formulate new concrete proposals to
/ those governments.
! The department also gave out four
other notes of the Adriatic orrespond-
ence.
! PARIS. March 6.-President Will
sons reply to the note sent him by
the allied premiers, relative to the
Adriatic was not discussed by mem
bers of the supreme allied council at
London yesterday because of obscuri-
| ties in the text, the cable company
being asked for a repetition, says
"Pertinax' in the Echo De Paris, AS
far as can be ascertained, however, he
says, Mr.. Wilson does not show any
desire to withdraw from European
concerns and accepts the French and
British suggestions that efforts be
made to reach a direct understanding
between Italy and Jugo Slavia relative
to the Adriatic problem.

posed views of Americas aviation &C
complishments during the war were
expressed today ih the house, during

to discussion of the divergent" reports
arising from prolonged investigation
of avia ton matters by special war
expenditures committee.

itical lines, agreed on but one thing
that the United States sp> Mt more
than one billion dollars on the war
time aviation program.
Republican committeeman, in line
with the majority report, were all set
to picture notorious failure" by the
war department in getting American
made planes to the battlefront.
The democratic committeeman-re-
preventative of California-was pre-
pared to amplify his minority report
cha rging that the net results outlined
by the majority were an exaggeration,
and not a true statement of accom-
plishments.
Names of several men prominent in
the air program during the war, not
ably Secretary Baker and John ID.
Ryan, former director of the air ser
vice, were brought into the discussion.
Both censure and commendation of

18TH SIZE IN STATE
PRESAGED FOR CITY
BY SCHOOL CENSUS
Miss Harriet Clark,

Local persons started guessing con-
test Saturday on Richmond's popula-
tion, following publication of that of
Muncie as 36,524, and Of Anderson as
29,767.
Kokomo, Marion, Lafayette, and
other cities Of size proportionate to
that of Richmond. all were hazarding
opinions on where they would stand
when the returns are complete.
The consensus of opinion in the
state and city was that Richmond.
while her population increased in the
decade, probably would be forced out
of eighth place, which she held in
1910.
The best guess is that based on
school census of the IS leading cities
Of the state, which would place Rich
mond twelfth. Gary, Kokcmo and
Hammond, below her in 1920. would
climb rung.
The number of children in school is
regarded as very fair forecast of the
number of citizens to be registered by
the census, and the cities, with their
1910 population and present school
canS11c follow.

WAIT WILSON
DECISION ON
COMPROMISE
Bipartisan Commission Sug-
gested to See Executive on
Treaty -Hinted Glass
Knows Attitude.
MAY APPROACH LODGE
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 6.-White
house officials in discussing the move
of administration senator's to re-
arrange conference with President
Wilson to discuss the peace treaty
situation, said the president had told
Senator Glass of Virginia, two weeks
ago, what his attitude was toward a
compromise on Article X reservation.
1t was thought there had been no
decision as to whether he would see
the senators, in RESPONSE to the re-
quest of Senator Hitchcock, of Ne
braska, the administration leader.
Those close to the president, how.
ever, pointed out that Senator Glass
must have informed his colleagues
as to Mr.. Wilson's position. which
was said to haye been stated to the
| senator in unequivocal terms.
Some administration officials sug-
gested that instead of Senator Sim
mons, Democrat, North Carolina, and
! others endeavoring to persuade the
president to accept the Article X com
promise which some Democratic and
Republican senators are now trying to
work out, they should bend their eff
forts toward persuading Senator
Lodge, the Republican leader, to &C.
cept it.
May Be Bipartisan.
The move of the Democrats to seek
! the presidents counsel was regarded
| in some quarters as so significant that
| suggestions were heard about the
| Senate chamber that the proposed
conference in the end might include
Republican as well as Democratic
senators.
Senator Hitchcock's request went to
/ the white house after informal nego
/ tiations for a compromise on the Re
! publican reservation to Article X, the
chief stumbling block on the road to
ward ratification, had been conducted
ointly by Senator Simmons and Sen
ator Watson, Republican, Indiana, to
point where the movement began
! to assume serious proportions.
Both Senator Hitchcock and Sena
tor Lodge, the Republican leader
| were reported to be at least tacitly
concurring in the effort. On the sur
! face, however, there was nothing to
| indicate that either leader had reason
to change his belief that another dead
lock in the treaty fight is impending

BONUS HEARINGS TO
Be COMPLETE; MANY
MEANS SUGGESTED
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 6-Advoca-
ton of soldier relief measures were
concentrating their forces today for
further appeals before the house ways
and means committee next week.
The committee late yesterday ad-
journed until Monday, after five days
spent hearing representatives of half
dozen organizations who suggested
measures varying from composite
bills including land grants, extention
of vocational training, and payment of
a cash bonus based on the length of
service to bills providing only for
lump sum gratitudes.
Must Hear Everybody.
No action will be taken by the COM
mittee until all supporters and op-
ponents of the measures have been
heard, chairman Fordney announced
today. It is probable the hearings
will continue for two weeks. Commit
tee members in the meantime will
open minds on the subject and will not
announce their attitudes until after
the hearings have been closed" he
stated.
Supporters of the relief measures
were sanguine today over the possibil-
ity of favorable action by the commit
tee believing that an even break is
due the soldiers On the other hand
committee members during the past
weeks hearing have pointed out that
bond issue necessary for payment
of bonus under some plan suggested
would seriously decree the market
value of present government obliga
tions and that the finances of the
country do not permit further outlays
at this time.

Cilician Massacre of Armen-
ians May Cost Moslem
Dear, Says Report Emanat-
ing From Premiers.
PROBE IS REQUESTED
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, March 6.-There Is a like
lihood that the Cilicia massacre will
cost Turkey much Of what the treaty
of peace would otherwise have left
her, according to expressions heard
in inner circles at Whitehall, where
allied foreign ministers continued
framing the Turkish settlement.
The proposed western boundary,
from EnOs, on the Aegan sea, to Vidin,
on the Black sea, may be abandoned,
and the line drawn much further east.
This would limit Turkish possessions
in Europe to the narrow peninsula
north of the Sea of Marmora.
CONsTANTINOPLE, March g.
Resolutions asking the United States
to send a commission to impartially
investigate the Marash massacre and
conditions generally in Anatolia, were
passed unanimously by the Turkish
chamber of deputies. This action
followed an address by Arif Bey, who
was elected president of the chamber,
succeeding Rechad Kismet Bey, de-
ceased.
Strict Censorship Charged.
During the debate it was charged
the interallied censorship did not per
nit Turkish language newspapers to
tell the Turkish version Of the Marash
incident, although it was said that
Greek and Armenian journals were
permitted to give their versions as
well as publish reports Of massacres
elsewhere which never occurred.
Turks, it is said, are not permitted
to deny these reports. The British
! French and Italians conduct the cen.
sorship and Americans are not par
ticipating in this work.

to be named grand vizier, it is report
