Marsal Foch informed the counur
that the BRITISH mad notified him OF
their inability to send their quota of

scite areas. The marshal recommend
ed that the British troops be replaced
by French and italian forces If neces-
sary. The council will come to a de-

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 90 = Genera

bile trip through cheering crowds on

trict boulevards was planned for the

Thousands of school children looked
forward to seeing General Pershing
this afternoon as the committee in
charge Of the trip planned to have the
generals automobile stop at all the
schools on the route. The children
were dismissed from school at noon.
General Pershing let it be known to-
day that he does not want to talk
about politics or military matters on
the tour.

Virtually panning the city in final
effortt o boost the population above
any competitors, the Cherrians, in
their census campaign Monday after
noon discovered 661 persons who had
not yet been enumerated, seevral out
of the city and a few who were oppose :
to the governments knowledge of
their personal affairs at all. Although
the official census period ended at
midnight Monday night and all gov
ernment and Cherrian enumerators
ceased work, many telephone messages
of persons who had been skipped were
being received throughout the day at
the Commercial club.
A staff of Cherrians were busy
Tuesday morning compiling the list OF
persons they had enumerated and pre-
pairing them for submission to Census
Supervisor Crawford. 1t was estimated
that the list Of those not enumerated
would extend above one thousand,
were it not for the commendable eff
fort made by the Cherrians to preserve
the city's rank in the municipalities of
the northwest.
1t is possible that the careful canvass
made by the Cherrians failed to find
every body not yet enumerated, so If
you haven't been enumerated, fill out
the accompanying box and mail 1t in.

Washington, Jan. 20.--Rear Admiral
Henry 7 Mayo, commander in chief of
the United States fleet during the war,
told the senate committee investigating
naval awards today that his letter to
Secretary Daniel on December 20, de-
claring that the knight board did not
given sufficient consideration to serv-
ice at sea, particularly to the duties
and responsibilities of members of the
staff of the commander in chief of the
fleet, was not to be considered in any
sense one of protest. He read the
letter at the request of Chairman Hale.
Admiral Mayo took a view diametri-
cally opposed to that expressed by
Rear Admiral Sims, who told the sub
committee that the Knight board, in
granting awards, gave too little con-
sideration to the record of officers
who served ON shore. The navy de-
partment made public Admiral Mayo's
letter on the subject some days ago.
The examination of Admiral Mayo
began the ruling made yesterday by
the senate naval committee that the
present investigation should be con-
fined entirely to the question of war

supposed to be- under his command
during the war. Admiral Mayo said
that in order to facilitate matters Ad-
miral Sims did not report to him, but
to the navy department.
Lack of well defined policy for the
award of naval honors may have had a
bearing on the decoration situation,
Admiral Mayo said, adding:
Both the board and the secretary
were acting within their rights and
prerogatives in changing recommended
tions for awards"
But don't you believe, admiral, that
the board and the secretary should
have consulted you before changing
your recommendations7 asked Chair
man Hale.
mo, do not" replied the admiral.
'I do not believe it would have been
practicable. 1t might have been de-
sirable. however"
II do not say was satisfied with
the result of the action of the board
and the secretary" added Admiral
Mayo, but do say that they had the
right to take such action as they wish
ed and to assume the responsibility"
Chairman Hale said there was no
record that Commander P. w. Foote,
now personal aide to Secretary Daniels
had been recommended by any officer
for a decoration although the secre-
'tary awarded him distinguished serv-
ice medal. Admiral Mayo replied that
he had approved a recommendation by
Admiral Gleaves, commanding the
cruiser and transport force, that Foote
be awarded distinguished service
medal.

PALMER UNAWARE OF
COAL Price Increase

Washington, Jau. 20 - Attorney
General Palmer said today he had re-
ceived no information that bitumin-
Gus coal operators had added to the
price Of coal the IA per cent wage in
crease to miners authorized by Presi-
dent Wilson pending final settlement
of the wage controversy.
1T is true" said Mr.. Palmer, "thaD
in some sections of the country a
larger price is being charged for coal
than that fixed by the fuel adminls-
tration. This makes 1t appear as II
the operators had added the IA per
cent increase in wages to the price Of
coal
where the price is greater than
the fuel administration price, 1t Is
caused by the fact that the operator
alleges that the coal was bought on
contract before October 81, 1919,
which contract coal was expressly ex-
cepted from the government Itfce by
an order issued by DR.. Garfield on
November H."
