WILSON MAY INFORM OTHER NATIONS OF
 COURSE ON TREATY
President May Outline Plans With Notice of Status q 
 of U. s.

Washington, March 22.-In the ab- sence of any authoritative prediction of what President Wilson would do with the unratified treaty with Ger many the impression gained weight in, diplomatic circles. today that the first step probably would be notifi- cation to the other powers that ratification had been refused by the senate.
 Diplomats holding that view point ed out that such notification could be given to clarify the status of re- lations between the United States and the other powers, regardless of what decision the president might make later on the question of the treaty's resubmission to the senate or negotiations of a separate peace.
 In some quarters it was predicted MT. Wilson might, however, com bine notification of the treaty's failure with an announcement of his future purpose in the matter, in order that the nations that have ratified may, be advised of what course they can expect developments here to take.
 Senate leaders are understood to have been influenced in part by such a possibility in their decision to de- lay action on a declaration of peace preferring to, know what the presi- dent will do before they take any fur ther steps. Today there was some discussion of the peace declaration proposal in informal conferences among senators. but it was predict ed that it would not come up on the floor for two weeks or more.
 In some diplomatic quarters, it was thought probable that that separ- ate peace might be established with Germany. modus vivendi negotiat- ed with the allies and the question of the covenant of the league of na- tions alone left to the "solemn ref .erendum" of the nation.
 The fate of the French defensive treaty appears to diplomatic off tials to have been completely for gotten.

AL EbERT- GARNET MEMBERS LIKELY To RESIGN Noske's Resignation Accept ed; Others to Follow
 Suit TRADE UNIONS ARE
 CAUSES OF CRISIS Unrest Still Prevails in Industrial Rcgions--Artillery Brought Into Play in Ruhr Coal
 District

Berlin, March 22. Gustav Noske, minister of defense, presented his resignation to President Ebert this afternoon and the president accepted 1t. Other cabinet changes are immi. nent.
 It is announced that the independ :. ents today demanded definite la- bor cabinet and that the government IS considering the demands.
 The whole Ebert Bauer cabinet probably will resign, according to the latest advices from Berlin. The crisis has been brought about by the great opposition aroused by the agreement which the trade unions, especially in the rural districts.
 The situation in the western in- dustrial regions and in Upper Silesia, particularly Breslau is still very serious, the advices add. The country population, however, are calm everywhere. The peasants in western Germany are preparing to cut off the food supplies from the troubled industrial centers.

RAIL VALUATIONS
 ON WHICH TO BASE RETURN CONTESTED
Executives and Employers Present Conflicting
 Views

Washington, March 22.-Railroad executives and employees differed with the interstate commerce com mission today as the methods to be employed in determining the valua- tion of the roads upon which an an- nual net return of 1-2 is guaran- teed for the next two years by the transportation act.
 Congress has made it imperative that an immediate valuation of the roads be made, A. P. Thom, general counsel for the Association of Rail- way Executives, told the commission. Property investment accounts and material and supply accounts he declared to be the minimum conserva- tive figures now susceptible to use Data being gathered by the commits sion under the federal valuation act is incomplete. he said, and should not be considered in the present problem.
 Estimating at $2O,OOO, ,0OO OOO the total value of the properties, MT. Thorn declared that re-statements in the railroads accounts filed with the commission would be more than offset by the rise in values in the past two years. He said the public was accustomed to use these accounts in making their investments and any reduction in them would upset the investment values.
 Speaking for the railroad employees, Donald E. Richberg, representing Glenn E Plumb, author of the Plumb plan for railroad ownership. express ed surprise that the executives and security owners should advocate a construction of the act "not as it is written. but as it would have been. but for misconception." He said the interests of the employees in the valuation of the roads lay in assur- ing a return sufficient to provide operating expenses which could meet the reasonable wage requirements of the workers He denied that con- gress intended an immediate valua- ton should be made and called the property investment account evidence of minor importance"
 Representative of the shippers and the state railroad commissioners, who are considered as representing the public will be heard tomorrow. Adjustment of rates along lines of extending transportation facilitiee will be asked by the shippers.

 A plan to overcome the housing shortage is being worked out by some of the delegates who are com ing from long distances. Many from Mississippi and Louisiana are coming in a body and railroad officials have agreed to hold their private Pull mans on the tracks here until the time for the return trip, and the Ro- tarians who come thusly will have their apartments in the Pullman's during their stay. For these men, the Y. M. c. A. has offered the use of their swimming pool and bath.

Formation of
 Joint Rail Wage ~ Board Completed

Washington, March 22.-Formatior of the joint railroad wage board was completed tonight by the con- ference committee representing the railroad corporal tion and the 16 rail- road union, which elected E. P White of the Pennsylvania Railroad company. president. This body is now ready to begin consideration of the wage demands of the two million workers made last August and which since have been before the president without settlement being made.
 Contrary to the union forecast the corporation has agreed to include its wage reorganization and to place them as fair as possible, as a basis upon which to discuss the long drawn out controversy. According to pres ent indication the board will not deal with the question as whole until countless minor points of difference have been eliminated.
 Members were said to have rro. posed that the wage demands be talk. en up by classes, adjustments reach ed and individual controversies set tied and then the basis of general percentage of increases discussed.
 The suggestion of the president that the board should give close study to the relationship between present railroad wages and' the cost of living, and also to the pay o1 labor in other lines of industry probably will not enter into the con ference until toward the end. The disposition seemed to be to talk ot Specific. rather than generalities' at the outset and on this point union labors said they had won.
 They believed that when they had succeeded in a veering "discussion' they had broken away from the bunker which they said they always had met in wage meetings prior te federal control.

SIMS SAYS BENSON WARNED NE SHOULD BEWARE OF BRITISH Declares He Did Not Take the Statement Very
 Seriously SHOWED DAWSON
 LETTER OF CRITICISM Declares Daniels Never Reminded Him of Alleged Indiscretion
 in Giving Out His
 Views

| Washington, March 22 Rear Ad- mlral Sims told the senate investigat- ing committee today that Rear Ad- miral Benson, chief of naval opera tions during the war, and now chair man of the shipping board. was the officer who told him "not to let the British pull the wool over your eyes :; we would as soon tight them as the Germans"
 That was not formal instruction the admiral said, but was told to him in the presence of other naval off given him final instructions just be- 1 fore his departure overseas, where he later became commander of Amer- can naval forces. It was repeated the following day, he declared, and again son visited Paris.
 Admiral Sims was reluctant to re- 1 veal the name of the officer mak- 1 ing the statement, explaining that he had kept his presentation of the he wished to continue to do so. Chair iiioi IldlC lIlSISLSu, HOWcNeI. Cross examination by Senator Putnam, democrat of Nevada. de- veloped that Admiral Sims had shown partment's conduct of the war to the middle of January, while he was a guest at MT. Davison's home. Ad- miral Sims conceded that that was "an indiscretion."
 Senator Putnam said he had req son to believe that copy of the same letters adopted found it's way to a Washington newspaper corresponds ent, who probably would be called later.
 Explaining his interpretation of what Admiral Benson said to him, tho witness said, he had not given the statement serious consideration at the time, because he had assumed that it resulted from what he de- scribed as an intensely anti British feeling entertained by Admiral Ben son.. He added that Admiral Benson was an "upstanding and honest man, exceedingly strong in his adherence to his convictions" It was due to Benson's jersonal confidence in him LIldC ne was SeHC dDTOdu anu IaLeI reached the highest naval post over seas, the officer stated.

 Commenting briefly on Secretary Daniels statements before the com mittee, Admiral Sims that Gin his testimony on awards the secretary stated that he had reminded me of the indiscretion in a speech I made at Guild Hall.
 "The secretary's recollection on that point is thoroughly mistaken the witness added. "No reference was made by anybody in the navy de- partment to that occasion"
 In reply to question by Senator Pittman calculated to bring out that he made public his letter regarding naval decorations sbefore Secretary Daniels received 1t, AdWiral Sims declared that neither hesanor any member of his staff gave the matter any publicity.
