Death is Passenger With
500 Refugees From Russia;
Scores Die of Typhus
(By Associated Press)

CONSTANTINOPLE, Mar. S-Death
pursued 500 refugees who fled from
Novorssosk on the steamer Navajo at
the approach of Russian soviet forces,
after many had died of disease, cold
and starvation. The craft arrived
here with emaciated ad starving pas
sengers.
Eighteen hours after leaving port,
the vessel. which had been chartered
by the American Red Cross to bring
the fugitives out of southern Russia,
was struck by a blizzard, which for
two days prevented the ship from
making headway. Food and coal sup
plies were all consumed. For four
days, the Navajo drifted in the Black
sea while hurricane ragged.
Typhus then appeared on board and
the refugees saw the bodies of scores
Of their shipmates consigned to the
waters. At last another refugee ship
picked up the Navajo. Hundreds Of
the passengers arrived here with
hands and feet frozen.

PRESIDENTIAL
TREATY WORD
IS EXPECTED
Executive May Make Known
His Position Late Today, in
Letter to Hitchcock-Sen-
ate Awaits Communication.
AGAINST LODGE CLAUSE
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 8. - Presi-
dent Wilson will state his position on
the Lodge reservation to Article X
probably late today. it was announced
at the White house.
His attitude on this and other res
ervations will be outlined in a letter
to Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the
administration leader.
He will not see Senator Simmons
Democrat, North Carolina, as request
ed by Senator Hitchcock but will write
Senator Simmons telling him the mat
ter is sufficiently covered in his reply
to Hitchcock
The presidents letter to Senator
Hitchcock was put in final form this
morning. In it the president is said
to have made his position equally as
clear as he did in his conference with
senator Glass of Virginia, two weeks
ago.
Won't Accept Lodge Reservation.
Administration officials said the
president would not accept the Lodge
reservation to Article X. They dis
closed that he had discussed the So
called Taft reservation to Article X
with Senator Glass, and that while he
had not stated his approval of it. he
did not say he would not accept 1t.
In an effort to bring the treaty to
| another ratification vote within the
next few days, senate leaders were
working today for some agreement
that would hold down debate, and CEN
ter the fight a s soon a possible on the
decisive question of Article X.
Senator Borah, Republican Idaho,
spokesman for the irreconcilable on
ponents of the treaty, gave notice
Saturday that he would move TODAY
to take up Article X at once. but he
held his motion in abeyance, to see
whether some other method of hasten
| ing action might be worked out.
SIX reservations remain to be dis
| posed of before Article X is reached.
| and Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,,
the Republican leader, wants to 90 on
without upsetting the regular order of
| business.
Armament Clause Up.
| When the senate met the reserya-
tion. pending before it was that declar.
ing that any decision of the league of
nations regarding redcution Of arma-
ments, should not apply to the United
States at any time of actual or threat
ened hostilities.
A substitute worked out in the re-
cent bipartisan conference and pre-
sented in the senate by Senator New,
Republican, Indiana, would say instead
that no armament plan of the league
would be binding on this nation until
congress had accepted it.

LONDON, March S-Russian So
Wet forces have launched attacks
against the Poles and the Firms on
the western and northern fronts, ac-
cording to advices received here. In
both instances it is said, they have
been repulsed and the Firms are re-

been under attack at two points, the
soviet armies advancing on the north
and south sides of the marshes.

Gently reported to have been assem-

HOLDS
FAST TO PRINCIPLE
IN ADRIAT|C MUSS

WASHINGTON, March S.-While ex-
desire" of the allied leader to reach
IAN equitable solution" President Will
son in his last note to the French and
British premiers accepts with reserva-
tons that proposal that Italy and Jugo-
Slavia themselves be permitted to
settle the Adriatic dispute.
Expressing the view that 1t consti-
tutes more than a mere exchange Of
views and is in fact a statement of
principle, the President refused to
agree to a withdrawal OF the British
French-American memorandum of Dec.
9th.
At the same time he indicated his
unalterable opposition to the execu-
ton of the terms of the treaty of
London, except insofar as the United
States government may be con-
vinced that those terms are intrinsical-
ly just and are consistent with the
maintenance of peace and settled order
in southeastern Europe"
Territory Bonus Disapproved.
While he said he would gladly ap-
prove mutual settlement between
Italians and the Jugo-Slavs which
would be without prejudice to the in
terests of any third nation, the presi-
dent declared he cannot possibly ap-
prove any plan which assigns to Jugo-
Slavia in the northern districts Of AL
bania territorial compensation for
what she is deprived of elsewhere.
Albanian questions. he further said,
should not be included in the proposed
joint discussions.
If Italy and Jugo-Slavia, he said pre-
fer to abandon the sO-called buffer
state and desire to limit the proposed
free state to the corporus separatum
of Fiume, placing the sovereignty in
the league of nations, the United
States is willing to leave the determ-
nation of the common forntier to Italy
and Jugo-Slavia.
The text of the presidents reply to
the premiers, which was dispatched
Thursday and which now is being con
sidered by the supreme council at
London, was made public here last
night.
