LiffEe Powers Attack Biq Four Sfea mrolIer-
 BloGs Also Fight
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

There was one row after another at the Paris peace conference today both between the western and Rus sian blocs and between the little powers and the Big Four steam roller.
 The fight between East and West started in the Bulgarian territorial commission over Greek and Bull garian claims for part of each others border land When the Greeks proposed an amendment to the Bulgarian treaty which would wipe out the Bulgar frontier forti- fication, the Slavic states walked out and the proposal was referred to the military commission.
 There, the Greek amendment to de-fortify the border was adopted by vote of II to ', with the western countries in favor and the Russian bloc against The Brazil ian delegate voted with the Rus sians, explaining that while he re- gretted this, he felt it was a mat ter of principle that all countries should be entitled to defend their borders.
 Other Quarrel
 In he other conference quarrel, Colone w. R. Hodgson of Austral- ia, tn leader of the small powers, ripp> Into the Big Four foreign ministers. He criticized them for agreeing among themselves. as he phrased it, that the final disposi- tion of Libya, Eritrea, and Italian only by themselves. Hodgson be- rated the major powers for stipulat- ing that the United Nations would dispose of the Italian colonies if the Big Four could not come to a decision.
 No Treaties Yet
 Hodgson's attack came shortly be- fore the Big Four were to meet on the disposal of the Italian col onies, and, presumably, to draw up a schedule that would speed up the whole conference. The Paris con- ference has been in session just five days short of two months, and so far it has not completed one treaty with any of the former en- emy nations involved

many of the outlying correspond.
ents. On such a mission he came
to Billings, Laurel, Columbus anC
the towns in Carbon county. He en-
joyed his visit in the west and well
remembers many of the people he
met. When the presidency of the
Chase National, one of the largest
banking institutions in America,
was about to become vacant he sud-
denly found himself picked from
fourteenth position in the line of
vice presidents and placed in COM
mand at the top.
Even in the banks the coal strike
had its effect. Use of electric lights
was reduced one-half or more and
candles were used as auxiliary
sources of illumination.
Harris asked how the thousands
of Chase employees were fed and
was told that they ate on the prem.
ises at expense of the bank. 1t
would take too long to send them
out; battling the crowds requires
both time and strength.
En- route home, Harris stopped in
Chicago. The big banks there were
also rationed, to one-third the usual
amount of electric lights. Some of
the stores were closed, others oper-
ated four hours, and train sched-
ules were slashed. In the news
papers carrying advertisements of
reduced hours and other curtail-
ments there were a few ads from
concerns who said they were not
affected, because they had their
own power generating plants and
were not dependent on coal-burning
utilities.

Big Cities In East Were Seriously Ha1npered BY
Strike Of Coal Miners, Harris Finds On Visit

The strike of coal miners in the
east was no joke to the country's
big cities, B. M. Harris, president
of the Yellowstone banks at Laurel
and Columbus, found when he visit
ed Detroit, Chicago and New York
City last week. They were having
dim-outs like those prevailing dur
ing the war, traffic was curtailed
and stores operated on a part-time
schedule. Any business or service
depending on coal had to greatly
curtail its activities.
Newspapers published in the cities
gave evidence of this in advertise
ments by railroads who declared in
big type that certain trains had
been cancelled, and other ads by
some of the nationally known stores
which said business was being car
ried on during afternoons only,
from 1 to 5.
Harris, a member of the directors
of American Bankers associations
country banks division, went to De-
troit for a conference Sunday, Mon
day and Tuesday. He was accomp-
anied by F. C. Forresa, president
of the Pullman, Wash, First Ma
tional bank. After the Detroit
meeting had been concluded they
went on to New York and got there
while the full effect of the coal
strike was being felt.
They spent a day and a half in
New York and visited Arthur Nc
Cain, president of the Chase Ma
tional who, though a country boy
from Arkansas, has made a swift
rise. Before the war he was four

URGES SAVING FOOD
FOR HUNGRY EUROPE

By saving a little right now in
their food consumption, families in
Yellowstone county and throughout
the country car help save lives in
the worst food shortages that the
nations in Europe and Asia have
suffered in modern times said w.
H. Jones, county agent, in explain
ing the urgent need for food sup
plies to be shipped abroad.
The effects of war and severe
drought have reduced food supplies
in those stricken countries to far
below the minimum necessary to
maintain human life, Jones said.
In some European countries today,
the amount of food available per
person is down close to 1000 cal
cries a day, or a daily ration of all
kinds Of food equal to 10 bare slices
of bread per day, less than one-
third the average amount of food
consumed per person in this coun-
try.
To supply the starving popula-
tions with food until they can har-
vest a crop, Americans are being
asked to voluntarily reduce wheat
consumption by 40 per cent, and
and oils by 20 per cent. By
making such savings it is hoped
this country can get wheat exports
to all countries for the first six
months of 1916 up to a total of
225 million bushels, and to exceed
hat amount if possible. Every eff
fort is also being made to export
his year one and one-half billion
of meat and 375,00 tons of
fats and oils.
