Washington. Feb. 22-By The A. P.l Equal opportunities for the citizens of all the allies and associated rowers, whether members of the league of nations or not, in former enemy territories to be administered by the allied government under mandates is insisted upon in a note dispatched by the state department to the council of the league, now in session at Paris.
 The note went forward last night to Ambassador Wallace. who is to present it to the council tomorrow. Its text was withheld but state department officers de- scribed it today as being virtually iden- tical with the one on the same subject sent 10 the British government last No- vember by Secretary. Colby.
 That note was couched in exceedingly firm language. In it Mir Colby took is- sue with the British position. that man. date agreements and treaties were to be considered only by states members of the league and declared that the United States as a contributor to the common victory in the World war. could not con- slider any of the associated powers. the smallest not less than itself. debarred from participation in the rights and privileges secured under the mandates provided in the treaties of peace" Initiation of this, the first action to be taken by the United States to the 'coun> of the league. was at the suggestion If one of the allied powers. understood to have been Great Britain. The British | foreign office never has reDl.el to AI | Colbys note in which he askel that the United States be permitted tc IxaInine I the draft mandates befo:c their subInis- sion to the league council tor approval ] Meantime. however. Great Br:tail has sent the draft mandates for Mesopotamis and Palestine to the council and t is un- Aerstood that it was. for this reason tlat | it suggested that the United States pres ent it's views to the council.
 Action by the council on the mandatei at the present session had been expected ] and it was explained that it was on thi; account that the present administration decided to present it's arguments dir' ct | to the council despite the fact that orly a little more than two weeks remain be fore the new administration will come in to power.

COL. THEODORE ROOSEVELT FOR
 ASST SECRETARY OF NAVY
Special to The Bu1letin.)

Washington, Feb. 22.-Will young Col. Theodore Roosevelt be the next assistant secretary of the navy? It is rumored that his name has been f'tvorably consid- cred by Mr. Harding and his advisers. and that the place will be held open for him. It is understood that Colonel Roosevelt desires to follow in the foot steps of his father and plunge from New York politics into national politics, fol- lowing the same path and making, the as- sistant secretaryship of the navy the first stepping ngstone. Connecticut senators and Congressman .Tilson of that state have been interesting themseives in behalf of Henry H. Ward of New Haven, who is an Annapolis graduate and served dur ing the Spanish-American war as secret agent for the navy iepartmpnt in Snain, Friends of former Governor Bartlett ot New Hampshire want him groomed fer the position, and it is understood Senator Poindexter of Washing gton as ranking member of the naval committee will ex- ert strong influence to put Pacific coast man in that place. But now it comes to light that it is young Roosevelt who is more likely to get the plum. in fact his closest friends here say there is no doubt about It. zs .s.--.

PRESIDENT SENDS NOTE TO
 CONGRESS ON BELGIAN DEBT

washington. Feb. 22.--President Will hou cleared his desk tNSv of another natter growing out of The Paris peace conference by sending to congress a sony of an agreement which ke and taf British and French prem.e:s entered into Ju-.e IS 1919. and under which the sigIa- tories bound themselves to recon'ul"n acceptance of German ool.ls in full pay ment of loans made to BaiEium prior to the armistice The president. presented with the agreement recommendations that congress enact legislation which wo4 d enable the American treasurer to sccers German bonds to the amourt of $171.- 7so. 900. the amount of this country's to- tal loans 70 Belgium up U the armistice, plus interest.
 The agreement and recommendations were read in both houses of congress without comment from the floor. Neither house took any action in the matter.
 The president in transmitting the agreements made no explanation as to why fl had not been submitted earlier except to say that the reparations com mission has not as yet finally dcterm- ined the details of the issuance of the necessary bonds by the German govern ment." He added that the agreement was not embodied in the treaty Of Yer sailles flor various reasons"

SENATE VOTES PARTIAL
 PAYMENTS TO RAILROADS

Washington, Feb. 22-Opposition to the Winslow bill to permit partial pay ments to railroads from the government guaranty fund collapsed completely today in the senate and the measure was passed without 8 record vote two hours before the expiration of time allotted for debate upon it.
 Senator Townsend. republican, of Michigan, in charge of the measure, in- sisted that not one line in the bill as passed by the house should be changed in the senate, lest conference and ensuing parliamentary obstruction delay what he described as action absolutely necessary to prevent bankruptcy not only among railroads but also among railroad cred- itors. The senate followed his advice and the measure was sent to the presi- dent
 Debate on the bill today was very brief, barring six-hour speech by Sem ator La Toilette, republican. of Wiscon- sin, who attacked it as designed to en- large the government s original guarantee to the railroads. On a roll call the sen- ate defeated, 4 to 1s, an amendment offered by Senator La Toilette which would have required the interstate com merce commission to investigate railroad expenditure before further payments are made.
 Senator Townsend, describing the situ- ation which he said made the bill emer- gency legislation, asserted that the rail- roads, because of reduced earnings, were entitled to total payment of $500 000,- l e0G under the government guarantee against losses during the six months fol- | lowing the ending of government control. The carriers. he said, had received | $250 ,000 of that amount and con gress supposed, in. passing the transpor-
 tation act, that the balance of approxi-
 mately sS5o.0o0,080 could be paid them | in installments, upon certificates of the
 interstate commerce commission, though l in the nature of the case many settie-
 ments cannot be completed in years
 The comptroller of the treasury, Sena- tor Townsend further explained, had l ruled that final account must be rem dered the government before the roads could receive any additional amounts, and
 said this threatens to bring about bank
 ruptcy not only of weaker railroads but ] of many business concerns which have
 sold to railroads materials for which 1 payments cannot be made until the gov l ernment acts" Railroad credit in gen. eral. he said, was endangered by delay I-r The bill as passed would require the interstate commerce commission to cer. tify to the treasury which it actually finds to be due railroads. regardless oi whether these constitute the entire claim; of the carriers. It further would require the secretary of the treasury to pay out all sums so certified.

AGAIN ..- VICTORIOUS IN HOUSE

Washington, Feb. 22.-Friends of pro- hibiton enforcement in the house today won another battle to keep liquor beyond the reach of those not pei mitted to handle or drink it.
 After flare up that threw he house into bitter debate toward the close cf a peaceful holiday session, the prohibition n forces rallied followers and put through motion directing conferences nn the deficiency bill. to give the governm enr $1.50o,oo0 to break Up the liquor traffic from now until July 1.
 Before the vote was taken, however, charges few thick Chairman Good of the appropriations committee, declaring en- forcement agents openly are winking at the laws violation. Representative Vol- stead. author of the act, came back with the charge that attempt was being made to bread down the machinery of enforce ment through failure to provide adequate appropriations. Others jumped into the fray, and for an hour it was much like the old days of prohibition fighting in congress.
 By agreeing to the senate sum, the revenue bureau will get $4o0. 900 more than the house first authorized.
