ABSENCE OF AMERICAN REPRE-.
SENTATIVE CAUSES REGRET
AMONG OTHER POWERS.
TURKISH TREATY UP FIRST
Daily Bulletins on Progress Of Meet
ing Will Be Issued-DardanelIes
and ConstantInople Form
knotty Problems.

San Remo.-Questions in connection
with the peace treaty with Turkey
will comprise the first business to be
taken up by the supreme council or
the allies. This was decided upon at
conference in the Duvachan Palace,
where the sessions are to be held, at
tended by Premiers Nitti of Italy,
Lloyd George of Great Britain, and
Miflerand Of France.
1t was agreed that daily com.
muniques should be issued, as upon
the occasion OF previous sessions cf
the council. 1t developed definitely
today that the United States would
not be represented at the conference.
The prime ministers of the three
great powers-Nitti, Millerard and
Lloyd George-have expressed decided
regret that the United States govern
ment was taking no part in what is
regarded as one Of the final acts OF
the peace conference.
AS far as 1t can be sensed, the feel.
ing here is that the absence Of Amer
lea is only temporary one, and that
the reasons for her present detach.
ment are likely to disappear.
| For the present, however. the prime
ministers. foreign ministers and am.
bassadors of France, Great Britain,
Italy, Japan, Belgium and Greece at
the meeting are occupied with proc.
lens particularly affecting themselves
and there is no disposition to dwell
unduly upon the lack of American
participation.
The decision to make the Turkish
| treaty the first business Of the con
ference was not unexpected, as thers
appears to be general agreement thas
as the Turkish question was one OF
the main reasons for the calling OF
the conference. it might as well be
| taken up at the very beginning. It
is surrounded by many perp.exities,
among them naval and military ques-
tions, such as the manner of policing
the Dardanelles. what form of con.
troll shall be set up In Constantinople.
the delimination of the boundaries OF
| Thrace and Armenia and the question
Of the Greek position in Smyrna.
Another subject which has not been
much mentioned as yet, but which will
be brought before the council before
ternational exchange and the position
in which Italian industry has been
placed by lack of coal.

In New York railroad executives
warned the representatives Of the
railroad brotherhcods that they would
be given until noon Saturday to get
their men back to work. If the strik.
ers are not back by that time the rail-
road managers announced they would
open their books for a period of "a
hours to register men acceptable"
for unemployment, reserviag the right
to refuse to reinstate those, who by
their actions and utterances have

BILL NOW BEING FRAMED WILL
APPLY TO ENLISTED
MEN ONLY.
A DOLLAR FOR EACH BAY
Fund of Approximately Billion Dol.
lars Would Be Raised BY Sales
Tax-Short Term Men Are
Excluded.

Washington.-A tentative soldier
bonus bill calling for the payment OF
81 for each days service to approx
mately 3,000,0 900 of the 4,S00,000 men
who served during the war, the money
to be raised by general sales tax,
has been approved by the cash bonus
subcommittee of the House ways and
means committee.
The total expenditure necessary IL
estimated at slightly less than $1,000
100000, and present plans call for a
sales tax of one-half of one per cent,
although the subcommittee is await
ing estimates from the Treasury De-
partment as to Just how much could
be raised in this manner.
Representative Fordney, of Michi-
gan, chairman of the ways and means
committee, said that he expected to
report the measure, probably with
some notifications, in the House next
week. He said he had received word
that if the House passed the bill with
in the next two weeks Senator Lodge
Of Massachusetts, Republican leader
in the Senate, would put it through
that body by June 1. However, many
obstacles are yet in the way, and 1t
is possible that final enactment may
be delayed until after the political
conventions in June.
With the purpose Of limiting the
bonus only to those men who made
large financial sacrifices during the
war the subcommittee has excluded
from its benefits the following
classes: Men who served less than 60
days and already have received bo-
nus of $50.
All officers.
Regular army men who were in the
service before the declaration of war.
Yeomanettes and men assigned to
Industrial and shipyard work, where
they received remuneration in addi-
tion to the regular army pay.
Men who received compensation
from their employers or private busi-
ness interests while in the service.
Under the subcommittee plan the
service man will have to apply for
the bonus and make out an affidavit
that he does not come within the
above classes.
The average bonus to be paid is
estimated at $400, as the War Depart
ment has found that the average serv-
ice was 400 days.
The bonus would be paid In four
installments and the tax collected in
the same manner. Small businesses
having total sales of less than $4,000
year would be exempt from the
sales tax. as would the farmers.
This levy would not be a stamp tax
but all business would simply pay
one-half Of one per cent on their
sales every three months. The new
form of taxation is the only way in
which the revenue for the bonus could
be raised, the subcommittee has de-
cided. Should the measure become law
its operation will be watched care
fully, as there is some strong senti-
ment in Congress for having 1t re-
place the excess profit and some con-
sumption taxes when a general re-
vision of the, revenue laws is made
next year.
