Detroit, Mar. 11,-Declaring that
'if it's the last thing | do in this
world. "I'll exert every resource and
influence at my command TO keep the
hands Of Wall street off Muscle
Shoals" Henry Ford today broke his
silence maintained during the last
two months with regard to his offer
to lease and operate the government
water power project in Alabama. Mr..
Ford made the statement to the De-
troit News in response 10 an intlm-
alton reaching him to the effect that
because Of his silence, the people Of
Southern states had begun to wonder
whether he had lost interest i'll the
project.
Tell the people of the SOUTH Mr..
Ford said, that Wall street will have
no part either in financing or oper-
ating Muscle Shoals if l can help it.

Use Planes in
Locating Seals

ST. Johns. y. r, March IL
When the New Foundland sealing
fleet ran into herd OF seals the
hunters congratulated themselves
upon being able to begin to kill so
carly in the season. But pilots Of
two airplanes which have been
scouting for the fleet have informed
them that their idea was all wrong:
that they have already killed nearly
all the seals in the vicinity and that
they are in a position remote from
the main herd.
The airplanes made c0o-milc
fight eastward from Botwood over
the Atlantic yesterday and located
the main herd. Then they flew back
to the fleet, descended and delivered
their message and with some baby
seals as souvenirs returned to Bot
wood.
Today the ships captain was Won
dering how soon they would be able
to leave their present position and
get out to the big herd. COR all the
vessels were tightly damned in the
ice driven against them by inshore
winds.
The tail shaft Of the steamer
Diana was broken when her pro-
pellor struck a small iceberg.

HOUSE TO VOTE
TODAY OR MONDAY
ON SIZE OF ARMY

Washington. March IA differ
ence of opinion over the size of the
army was voiced by Republican
! leaders in the house today during
consideration of the army appropri-
alton bill. No sooner had Chairman
| Kahn. OF the military affairs COM
mittee. expressed opposition to any
reduction in the enlisted or officer
strength than Representative Mon
dell, Republican leader. declared ha
approved action of the sub-commit-
tee, which framed the bill in provid-
ing that by July ]. the enlisted per-
sonnet of the regular army must he
cut to 11l.O00 men aud the number
OF officers decrca sed to II 600.
General debate was concluded
late today and indications were that
the house would reach a vote to-
morrow or Monday on sections OF
the bill relating to the size of the
army.
With party lines disrecarded 10 4
certain extent, the house member
ship appeared to be divided into
three main grourS-one determined
to stand by the committee recon-
mendations. another preparing to
demand an army of 100000 men.
while the third was lining up in sup
port OF the war department which
requested n pay allowance sufficient
to maintain 10000 men and 13.OO0
officers during the coming fiscal year.
During his address to the house. .
Mr. Kahn took the position that-it
would be false economy" to order
too drastic a cut in the armN's size.
He reminded his colleagues that Re-
publicaas and Democrats alike in
the early stages of the war had
stood behind Democratic president
in an attempt to build up an Efficient
fighting machine. The splendid
example" set then, he added. in ie-
porting the army appropriation bill
had disrcgarded the expressed wish
es of the administration relative 10
enlisted and officer personnel.
Mr.. Kahn had the support OF Rep
rescntatiNc Greene of Vermont.
Republican member of the military
affairs committee and also mem
Der OF the Republican steering COM
mittse who protested particularly
against the proposed reduction in
the officer strength, and Representa-
tive Dallinger. Republican. Massa-

position to the committee recon-
mendations.

New York, Mar 1.-THE anthracite
coal mine owners and workers COM
mittee- Of eight tonight began to Or
ganize for a long series of delibera
tons in an effort to avert general
strike by amicable settlement of their
wage disagreements.
President John J.. Lewis of the In
ternational organization of United
Mine Workers and Samuel ID. War
, riner, chairman of the operators pol
icie: committee both members of the
committee Of eight were optimistic.
They expressed doubt however that
a new wage scale could be drawn in
time to prevent suspension of mining
operations in the hard coal field on
April l.
The whole coal mining industry will
be taken into consideration in ncso-
tiating the new contract, it was said
The miners expressed a determna-
| ton to get down to the bottom of
costs and profits" The owners were
equally emphatic in asserting that
every angle of the industry should be
gone into.
DESPITE the great divergence OF
views with which we begin negotia-
tiOns, | believe the committee intends
honestly TO try to work out a solution
of the wage problem in the anthracite
mines was the statement of Mr..
Lewis
Neither he nor Mr.. Warmer,
speaking for the operators, would pre-
dict upon what basis wages of the
miners WOULD he computed; whether
the demands of the unions for uni
Versal adoption of the check off sys-
tenn would be considered: or for how
long it was desired that the contem-
plated new contract should extend.
With the appointment of the arhi-
tration committee in eight the S5 rep
resentatives Of labor unions. who
came here today present their 10 wage
demands to the operators last We'd
ncsday, departed for their various dis
tricts to await the outcome of the
negotiations.
Work in the mines will continne.
they said, until April !, when the 1920
contracts now in force expire.

Series of Anti
Treaty Speeches
BY Rebel Group

Washington, Mar. Another as
sault was thrown against the four
power Pacific treaty by the senate
irreconcilablcs today after tho
treaty's friends had argued among
themselves for an hour as to whether
the pact might properly be called an
alliance"
The fight against ratification was
carried forward in turn by Senators
France, Republican. Maryland; john
son, Republican. California, and Wat
son. Democrat, Georgia, in series OF
speeches.
In the course of debate charges of
propaganda" both for and against
the treaty were made by the opposing
sides, but no one produced any direct
evidence to support the assertions.
The discussion over application of
the term "alliance" took place large
~ between Senator Willis, Repub-
llcan. Ohio. and Senator Spencer, Re
publican, Missouri, both supporters of
the treaty.
BY Senators France, Johnson and
Watson it was declared that the die
tionary definition covering the treaty
mattered little and that the real ma =
. ture of the -four power arrangement
must be Judged by its practical Opcr-
alton. MIR. johnson asserted that so
I far as acutIl wording went the An
clo-Jananese alliance covered only
! nnprOvoked aggression in eastern
Asia and India and that il it really
! was dangerous to the United States,
AS argued by supporters of the four
power treaty, the reason lay between
the lines. Judged ny the same pro-
cess. he asserted. the four-power pact
might easily lead to many dangers in
actual practice.
