rAris. June 16.-Senator Duplantier in >se senate this afternoon, with Premier Briand attending the session renewed his demand of Tuesday to know what measures the French government intends to take concerning the execution of the treaty of Versailles relative to bringing William Hohenzollern, ex-kaiser of Ger many, to trial for his crimes against humanity The senator today asked for immediate discussion of his interpel,a- tion
 Premier Briand argued that it mign, be advisable to await to see what ac- ton the Leipsic court, which is trying war criminals, takes And what verdicts it re2ches in cases submitted to it for trial by France up to the present, the premier added, the cases decided by the court have been exclusively on British and Belgian demands.
 'As far as the kSiser is concerned, !" M. Briand continued, the senate doubt less will rule that two years after the armistice we cannot join his case with the others now being trited at Leipsic without some slight inconvenience"
 There was a touch of sarcasm in the voice of the premier as he spoke.
 Later the senate voted to postpone dis cussion of NJ. Duplantier's interpellatio and ordered that it be entered in its reg ular turn on the order of the day. This is equivalent to an indefinite postpone ment of debate on the interpolation.

FLEA FOR IRISH HOME RULE
 IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS

London, June 1s.-(By The A. P)- strong pleas for the amendment of tbe Irish home rule act came unexpectedly today from the house of lords. the fea- ture of the debate being the first speech made by Lord Buxton since he returned from South Africa, where he has served as governor general
 Incidentally, Lord Buoton disclosed that he with other peers had explored the ground with a view to negotiations for settlement of the Irish difficulty. put he said they had arrived at the con- clusion that the only practical initiatir must come from the government itself.
 The debate was opened by the Earl of Donoughmore, a southern Irish peer. who, referring to the speech of Viscount Gltzalan, lord lieutenant of Ireland. at the opeping of the Ulster parliament ad- hitting that the home rule act amend ment urged the government to indicate plainly what amendments it was prepar- ed to grant. He congratulated the lord lieutenant on his courage in advocating amendments, and denounced the govern ment policy of reprisais as a detestac e and degrading policy. He shuddered to think what chaos would ensue in the coming winter unless the government took the course advocated
 NSAN sAoANNhs lNt E-dTl -Ol Donoughmore and citing the success of home rule in the Union of South Africa, said it was clear that the Irish home rule act was neither a panacea nor a remedy. One the contrary, so far as the south of Ireland was concerned il was a complete failure, and in his view the only thing was for the premier to put on record specifically and solemnly in detail how far he was willing to go and what reservation he would make Tho premier he declared. should put all hi. cards on the table.
 We have to make the Irish believe we are in earnest" said Lord Bux- ton. "If the government will give th' country lead in this matter, believe the country will go to any length tc bring about peace, and that the greater length we go the more likely we are to be successful"
 Viscount Bryce and others supported Lord .Donoughmore. and the debate Wa! adjourned until Tuesday next. when tn, government will reply.

 Tt is ordered that all engineers and assistant engineers who have beea em- ployed since May l to take the place of striking engineers shall be retained in their position SO long as they are effi- cient and qualified 10 discharge their duties"
 Local unions in the various ports al- ready have been notified that the agree ment would be ratified. W. S. Brown, president Of the Marine Engineers Beneficial Association. stated. adding that he had been informed four hundred union engineers had signed with ships at New Orleans in the last two days.
 Although the American Steamship Owners Association voted at New York today against entering into the agree ment, the opinion was expressed here to- night that the operators separately would perhaps join with the shipping board in the settlement.
 While overtime pay Is technically pro- vided for in the wage scale. the work I ing conditions practically eliminate 1 overtimA NO overtime" the agree ment provides. shall be performed at sea except for the safety Of the vessel" Such work is fully set out and includes essential repairs. Another provision of the agreement says that working day | in port in excess of eight hours shall not be performed or paid for unless the work is done by written order of the I chief tengineer. master. owner or agent of the vessel"

 During the next 20 years" the phy- sicians stated, but two great medical problems will remain as the aftermath dealing with mental and nervous eases and the other is the tuberculous prob lem"
 They asserted that the peak of the incidence of tuberculosis resulting from the war has not been reached nor will it be for number of years to come.
 They predicted that if the federal gov ernment met the problem of the tuber- culous soldier efficiently and at the same time utilized it's opportunities for the benefit of the civil population there would come. as an indirect result of the war, an awakening to the importance and magnitude of the tuberculous prob lem which will prove of tremendous and lasting benefit to the nation.
 A resolution was adopted urging con- gress to give the government depart ments the assistance necessary to es- tablish discipline essential to the main tenance of morale.
 Another resolution commended efforts of tho American Legion's officials to have corrected the defects in legisla- tion pertaining to rehabilitation of for mer service men. It also urged the Le- zion ito prevent an uncontrolled mi nority of the ex-service men from seri, ously interfering, as they now do, witt the chance of the recovery of their fel low patients"

Mystery of Guns
 Seized at HObOken
Is Still a Subject of Investiga- ton by Government Off, cials.

New York, June 1s.-Ownership of the 495 machine guns and the hundreds of spare parts, seized yesterday by GUS toms officials after they were found se- creted on the steamship East Side, and presumed to have been destined for Ire land, is still a subject of investigation by government officials. The guns, through the agency of federal warrant of detention, were restored today to tho possession of customs officials from whom they were taken on a search and seizure warrant by the Hoboken police
 A hearing set for today was intended to bring out the story of how they came to be on board the ship and to establish the claim of Frank Williams that they were stolen from his warehouse, but the hearing was declared off after the fed eral writ had been served.
 Customs officials said they would take the arms from Hoboken police headquar- ters to a customs storehouse tomorrow and there hold them until the mystery surrounding their discovery is solved. h. port the Ship cleared after leaving New York last night.
 MT. Williams, through his attorney. is also conducting an investigation 10 deter mine the identity of the parties who. hC claims, stole the guns from his ware. house. He is also concerned regarding the whereabouts of 105 additional ma chine guns which he said were stolen al the same time and have not yet beer found. Mir. Williams. according to Cit! Attorney Fallon of Hoboken, is a con tractor with an office on Broadway, New York. Advices from Hartford, where the arms were ma . 7ctured. stated tha
 they were made for the Auto Ordnance | Company of New York and shipped il the usual way. kt the office of tha company here knowledge of their sale t, Frank Williams was disclaimed. The typ
 of gun seized, an official of compan!
 said. is known as the Thompson sub
 machine gun and is sold through jobber
 in large lots. If Williams actually own

 jobbers in small lots.
