Washington, Nov. 5.-R. B. How
ell arrived here this forenoon from
New York, and will leave for home
Monday evening. He is accompa-
MED by Mrs. Howell. They are re-
turning from six weeks tour OF
Europe.
Mr.. Howell says that they had
pleasant sea voyages and busy,
but restful, visit through the Eu-
ropean countries. They spent most
of the time in Germany, Austria and
Hungary, but were several days in
France and Englandkhey found
France in a state of unrest over the
war and especially over what they
claim is the failure of Germany to
pay proper indemnities.
In Germany there was little sur
face indication that there had been
any war. Business was going on as
usual, streets were crowded, hotels
SO filled that reservations must be
made days in advance, and theaters
packed to capacity every night. The
great imitation of paper money had
brought the German mark down so
low that one dealt in thousands and
tens of thousands.
American Money Powerful.
The American dollar will buy four
times as much of necessities of life
as it will in America. The imitation
has resulted in an actual increase in
wages. Hotel rates in Berlin are
about one-tenth of the New York
rate and based on the American
dollar real estate is selling at about
one-tenth what it was worth before
the war.
This is because the rentals are
regulated by the government and will
no more than pay the taxes and
upkeep.
In England the sentiment seemed
to be unanimous against giving up
Ireland, but the people did not care
to discuss the question except to
say that they supposed the Irish
would fight, they always had The
English are more concerned over

Threat of.
Rail Strike.

Brothcrhoods Declare Vote
Will Be Revived II Wage
Board Fails to Keep
Promises.
Coercion Is Charged

Cleveland, O.. Nov. s.-The "Big
Five" railroad brothcrhoods will re-
vive the strike vote and use II il
necessary if the promises OF the rail-
road labor board made to the broth
erhood chiefs just before the threat
ened general railroad strike was
called off last week are not carried
out, according to a memorandum
which has been mailed to all general
and local chairmen and members of
the five organizations, it was learned
today.
The threatened strike was called
off, the memorandum asserted, when
it became known that unless that ac-
ton was taken, not only the execu-
tive officers of the brotherhoods, but
the general chairmen and local chair
men would be arrested on charges
of conspiracy.
Coercive Measures Used
"Due to the memorandum of the
labor board, asserting that working
rules and disputes would be disposed
of before further wage reductions
were considered, and the further
fact of the imminent arrest of the
leaders, it was deemed best that the
strike be called off," said the cir
cular.
1T may be claimed by some that
the promises made by the labor board
will not be carried out" the circu-
lar continued, "due to coercive inhu-
ences, and in case this should come
to pass, we would be in exactly the
same position we were in after the
enactment of the Adamson law in
1916, and the strike vote which was
called off, will be revived and used
if necessary"
Members Deny Promises.
Chicago, Nov. 5.-The railroad la
Dor board madebno promises official
ly to the trainmen and did not figure
in any official capacity in the decision
to call off the threatened rail strike
last week. it was pointed out today
by board members when they heard |
Of the circular being sent brother
hood members concerning a revival
of the strike vote.
A resolution adopted by the board
which would place further wage re-
ducticn requests by the roads at the |
md Of the docket, undoubtedly played |
a part in the labor chiefs determine
ton, it was pointed out, but no
promise Of delay in acting on such
requests was made.

Chicago Tribune-OmahA Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, Nov. 5.-Victim OF
defcnselessness but glorying IN an
age-long pacihsm, China comes TO
the international conference on the
limitation Of aramaments seeking
protective agreement OF the powers
which will permit her to develop
without providing for self-defensc
The United States alone OF the
great powers has not sought to de-
spoil China OF either territory or
resources and has frequently inter-
vencd with success to curb the ra-
pacity OF aggressors upon the an
cicnt Asiatic nation, notably when
John Hay obtained the assent Of the
.powers to the open door principle
and when President Wilson halted
the imposition by Japan OF group
five OF the 81 demands which would
have made China political dcpen-
dcncy of Nippon.
China Looks to u. S.
Hence it is the United States that
China looks to specially for aid to
achieve a new dispensation of pro-
lection. What China hopes to at
tain was revealed today by DR.. Al
fred SEE, Chinese minister to the
United States under memo Of the
Chinese delegation to the confer
ence.
"China is entering this conference
whole-heartedly with full confidence
in the motives of the American peo-
pie in their attempt to bring about
better conditions in the Pacific and
the world generally" said DR.. Sze.
Americas policy toward China has
always been friendly and construc-
tive. We have full appreciation OF
Americas altruism toward Asia, be-
cause one of the only two foreign
policies which the United States has
ever developed since it became ma
ton, apply to Asia. / refer to the
open door policy of equal oppor-
tunity which was announced orig
inally by Mr.. John Hay, secretary
OF state 4 quarter of a century ago.
"The open door policy has been
happily likcned to your Monroe doc
trine which applies to the. young re-
puhlics OF the new world. AS l
understand your Monroe doctrine. It ]
simply means that the new rcpub-
lies OF the new world are to be pro-
tected from foreign agression while
they work out their self-develo3-
ment. In assisting in this develop
ment of the republics Of the new
world, you do not claim monopolis-
tic privileges to the exclusion OF
others.
Like Open Door Policy.
"You are quite willing that all ma
tions of the world shall compete
with you in the business and indus
trial development of the American
continent. Now that is doctrine
which we understand and as we view
your open door policy we believe
that it means almost exactly the
same thing.
"You are fighting for the principle
of self-development on the continent
of Asia and as such we are fighting

Washington, Nov. 5.-An amend
ment to the revenue law which
would have made all tax returns OF
individuals and corporations public
records and open to inspection met
defeat in the senate today by mar
gin of two votes. The vote on the
amendment, which was offered by
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin,
was 50 to IS.
Another amendment by Senator
La Toilette, increasing taxes on in
beritances, was rejected by a vote
OF 28 to 80.
One amendment proposed by the
Wisconsin senator requiring holders
of tax exempt securities to list them
at the time they make their income
tax returns was adopted by vote
of SO to II.
The senate spent all of today's ses-
sion in the consideration Of the La
Toilette amendments and of the sol
diers' bonus question. The leaders
are hopeful of the passage of the
bill by Monday night, unanimous
consent agreement limiting speeches
to 10 minutes, beginning Monday

Push Surtax Plan.
Developments on the house side
of the capitol indicated that western
republicans will seek to have the
house approve the so per cent maxi
mum surtax rates as provided in the
senate bill. A letter was sent to
members of the house signed by
Representatives Frear of Wisconsin,
Dickinson of Iowa, Barbour of Cali
fornia, Little of Kansas, Reavis Of
Nebraska and King of Illinois urg-
ing that the house instruct its con-
ferees to accept the senate surtax
rates instead of insisting upon the
minimum OF 81 per cent as provided
in the house bill.
Senator La Toilette, in addressing
the senate, made an attack upon
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon.
He declared the secretary should be
retired from Office because of an
"impudent and brazen assertion that
wealth will not bear its full share of
tax burdens and that congress
might as we'll accept it as fact"
The Wisconsin senator read from
testimony by Secretary Mellon be-
fore committees in connection with
the contention of the treasury that
