A dlvlslon will consist of three regiments comprising threo battalions; each battalion Is formed of three com- - panles of Infantry and one machine gun company. Three trench mortar com- - psntes are allowed each dlvlson, also one field artillery realment consisting of 1,100 men, one pioneer battalion, con- - slstlng of 400 men and various technical , services. Artillery Cut Down. Cavalry and horse artillery establish- ments will be reduced Just under 17,000 officers and men, comprising; th head- quarters starr of the division and six cavalry regiments and three horse artil- lery batteries. Provision will also be taken to limit the gendarmerie. The council then proceeded to devise methods whereby these limits would be maintained and whereby It . would be difficult, It not Impossible, for Germany to again spring a surprise by the sur- reptitious military training of the In- habitants. It Is laid down, first of all, that universal compulsory military ser- vice shall be done away with ln Ger- many and that the new army shall be recruited entirely by voluntary enlist- ment. Among; the advantages In this system, as Premlar Lloyd Oeonre pointed out during the discussion, is that a voluntary army will be Inevitably much mora costly than a force constituted by compulsory service. The army service for officers and men shall be for twelve unbroken years. Officers staying on the array rolls must serve until they are 45 years of aa;a and newly commis- sioned officers must agree to serve on the active Hat for a mlnlmuh period of twer.-ty-fl- years. All omcers leaving the army must not take part In any military training In theory or practice and must be freed from all military obligations. The number of military schools ln Germany will be cut down to require- ments as laid down In the peace treaty. And these schools will be solely used for training officers of each arm of the service ln the proportion of one school for each arm, and the number of pupils receiving training must be In proportion to the vacancies ln the army. Therefore all other Institutions giving any military training to persons Intending to be of- ficers will be done away with. Ban on Warlike Sports. All educational establishments, vet- eran societies, tourist clubs, ln fact all the societies so common to German life, will be obliged to refrain from any sort of military exercises and must have no connection with the military authorities. There must be no scheme of mobiliza- tion. The clauses regarding fortifications prolde for the destruction of all fortified works and fortresses and fluid fortifica- tions within fifty miles of the Rhine, and tho construction of any new fortifica- tions of any kind is forbidden ln this area. On the southern and eastern frontiers Germany will be allowed to maintain her fortifications in tholr ex- isting condition. Armaments and material are dealt with In a number of articles fixing very definitely the number of rifles, guns nnd ammunition for them. For soven Infan- try divisions, 84,000 rifles. 756 heavy machine guns, 1,114 light machine runs. 81 medlous trench mortars, 189 light trench mortars, 100 6.8 inrt guns. 84 105 millimeter guna. Three cavalry divisions will be permitted to have 18,- - 000 carbines, 88 heavy machine guns and 18 field guns. No heavy artillery will be permitted. Thus small arms and ammunition stocks must not exceed 40,800,00O. Ma chine gun ammunition Is to be kept Just under 15.500,000 rounds, ordinary trench mortars Just over 150,000 rounds, field artillery 204,000 rounds. 105 milli meter gun a Just over 67,000 rounds. These are the totat stockN and depart- ments where these Htocks are to be placed must be brought to the knowl- edge of the Allies. The number of guns in fortified works In the Interior of the country or the coast which Germany Is allowed to re- tain will be taken as the maximum per- missible. The stock of ammunition for these guns will be reduced to 1,500 rounds for each gun of 105 millimeters, and under 500 rounds per gun of heav- ier calibre. The manufacture of arms and muni- tions or any war material shall be car- ried out only In works the position of which must be notified to the Allien and the number of which the Allies reserve the right to lmlt. All other establish- ments In any way connected with war shall be shut up and the workmen dis- missed, Must Surrender Arms. All arms nnd wnr material. Including ft material above the require- ments as fixed ln the teraty, are to be surrendered to the Allies and their asso-ate- d Governments, which will render them useless or destroy them. Any spe- cial plant for the manufacture of war material except that required for the production of the quantities laid down will meet the same fate. War material other than that of German origin will also be surrendered.

All naval war material, Including such things on mines and torpedoes, will be fixed by the Allies and all mocks ln excess of those limits must be surrendered. Germany will be called upon to sweep certain areas free from mines. The principle of voluntary service will aleo be applied to the navy and petty officers and men must serve a minimum period of twelve years and other ranks for twenty-fiv- e years. There Is the same stipulation as to length of service for officers as figures In military terma. There is a provision forbidding war training of officers and men in the mer- cantile marine.

WHALEY IS OPPOSED TO CLARK AS LEADER South Carolina Man Seeks Democratic Unity. Belat Detpatch to Tax Bos. Wabhinoton, March 10. Representa tive Whaley of South Carolina, a mem ber of the Democratic Reorganization Executive Committee, publicly added hie name to those who are oppos- ing Champ Clark for leadership of the House minority tn the next Congress. In a statement Mr. Whaley declared that in his opinion the Democratic party was defeated last Novi mber because It had been led In the past few years by men who expressed their Individual views and not those of the majority and that when an Issue was presented to the House one or more of the Demo crattc leaders would be found Joining hands with those fighting the executive. He said he had been Informed that Rep- resentative Mann, the retiring Republi- can leader and defeated candidate of his party for the Speakership In the next House, favored the selection of Mr. Clark because thereby ho hoped the division between tho party in the House and the President would continue to exist. Mr. Whaley said he favored the choos lng by a steering committee of a leader who would be expected to resign when he felt he could no longer carry out the views of a majority of his party. He said so far Mr. Clark had failed to approve the League of Nations as proposed by President Wilson, but predicted that ho might be exported to do so now, as fifty Democratic members of the Missouri Legislature have asked for the resignation of Senator Reed, one of the league's bitterest enemies. 'The Insurgents,\ concluded Mr. Whaley, \believe In the good of the Democratic party and Its future success Is greater than the personal ambition of ono man. They also hold that complete accord and harmony between the Ad ministration and the Democratic mem bers next session can alone aasure suc- cess to the party two years hence. They all feel that Clark will not act ln accord with the Administration as led by President Wilson.\ FLIES TO ITHACA IN ISO MINUTES Biplane From Mineola Fol lows Difficult Course. Special Deipatch to Ths Sen. Ithaca, March 20. A Thomas Morse biplane, piloted by 'Tex\ Marshall and carrying a reporter for Tub Sun as passenger, reached this city late this afternoon after covering 200 miles from Harelhurst Field, Mlncola, In 160 min- utes. The trip was made on the direct line to Ithaca, the pilot steering a course above tho rough country of northern ow Jersey, where the only possible landing place in case of emergency would have been a lake or river. For this reason airplanes generally keep clear of this section, and the flight com- pleted y Is said to have been tho first ever made between New York and Ithaca. Two Thomas Morse planes, each equipped with a Lerhone rotary motor of left Mineola at 3 :16 ln the afternoon. After circling to a helrht of 2,000 feet both planes, tho sec- ond piloted by Paul Wilson and carrying aa a passenger a reportPr for the New-Yor- Time; crossed the Sound, continu- ing to rise as the Hudson was passed and the Jersey plain reached. A wind from the northwest with a velocity of forty miles made It necessary to head the machines almost due north to over- come the drift. At Port Jervts, one hour after the start, the planes were still rising, nnd a little lator the highest altitude of tho trip, a little over 8,000 feet, was at- tained. Forty minutes later Lanaslm (Pa., was passed. 'Tex\ Marshall kept uiiiiiiiiKiy on ino course, and when Itlnghamton was reached the dangerous part of the trip was over. The landing was mode without difficult-- , Tho second plane was compelled to descend at Dlng-bamto- n owing to lack of gasolene. TALK OF U. S. BUYING MURAT HOME IN PARIS Martin Opposes Using Part of f 5,000,000 Fund for Plan. Special Detpatek to Tns Su, Washington, March 20. There Is much speculation In Senate circles over a request made Just before Congress adjourned that 15,000,000 be added to Uia \national security and defence fund,\ from which the expenses of the President and tho American delegates to the Peace Conference aro derived. This fund. It was pointed out, is almost depleted. From some unexplained source the Information became current that In the request for an addition to the fund, which was sent to the Senate Appro- priations Committee, there was a sug- gestion that the Murat mansion in Paris, which was occupied by the Pres- ident and Mrs. Wilson during their first visit to France, should be purchased by the United Slates. It Is not doflnltely known whether the request really con- tained this suggestion. Senator Martin, chairman of the Sen- ate committee, aocordlng to one of the other members' of the committee, an- nounced that he would not approve the project, and later or. tho Senate floor i,e lwcame Indignant over attempts of Senator Penrose to havo the 15,000.000 nnnrnnrintinn inriiiri,. tn ih Pabis, March 20.

ENGLAND RETAINS CONTROL OF COAL Government Accepts Report of Special Commission in Fuel Crisis. i WAGE INCREASE URGED Limit riaccrLon Profits and Nationalization Plan Sought. Bf Iht Aliortatri Frtu. fjOKDON, March 10, Andrew Dornr Law. the Government spokesman. In a i iv.. u.,.. r.mn,. hi. . evnln M Government accepted report of the special coal commls- - slon, of which Justice Sir John Sankey Is chairman, Including Its undertaking to report on the question of nationalisation by May 20 and to issue Interim reports from time to time on the problem ot Improvements in the cool Industry. Proposals of this nature would be put Into Immediate operation, declared Mr. Bonar Law. This Involved the continu- ance of coai control for two yoars. Cat tn Hoarsi Urged, With reference to the Sankey report, which he explained was signed by three representatives of ths employers not di- rectly concerned ln the coal Industry, and granted to the minors two-thir- of their demands ln wages, Mr. Bonar Law said that the signers of the report rec- ommended a further reduction in hours ln 1921, because they aasumed that by then the output of Ull, namely tons, would be resumed. The estimated cost of what was recommended was for the current year 1115,000,000. It was proposed that the profits of the coal masters should be limited to 14 pence per ton. Taking all things into consideration, the estimated cost to the taxpayers would be almost 130,000,000 (1150,000,000). Mr. Bonar Law also announced that the employers had made what he himself and the 'Labor Mlnlsterc onsldered reason- able proposals to the transport workers, and he had reason to believe that these would prove acceptable to the men. Wave Question Heard, The negotiations with the railroad men had not been concluded. A detailed statement of the men's demands and the sum Involved, together with details ot the Government's offer, would be pub- lished. Meanwhile, said the speaker, the Gov- ernment had definitely proposed that wages. Including the war bonus, should be retained at tho present level until the end of the current year. The men had. In addition to- that, however, pressed further demands Involving an estimated additional expenditure of more than (150.000.000), which. In the prosent position of the railroads, was a very serious thing. The Interim report of the Coal Com- mission, of which Justice Sir John Sankey Is chairman. Issued rec- ommends seven hours of work under ground, Instead of eight, from July 16, and six hours from July 12, 1921, sub- ject to the economic position of the In- dustry. The report recommends an Increase in wages of two shillings per shift for colliery workers now under sliding scales, and an advance of one shilling for workers under sixteen years. Colliery Workers Hare Voice. In the Interest of the country the col- liery workers, It Is further recommended, shall have an effective voice In the dlree-io- n of the mines. The present system of ownership and system of working Is condemned, and a substitute must be found, either ln na- tionalization or unification, by national purchase or Joint control The Sankey report points out thnt the recommendations menn the distribution annually of 110,000,000 ( 150,.000,000) additional In wages and that It should be considered whether a penny per ton should be collected at once on coal broutrht to the surface, to Improve the housing In the colliery districts. This would be equal to 1,000.000 ( $ 5,000.-00- yearly. The Sankey report Is also signed by Arthur Ilalfour, who was master cutler of Sheffield ln 1911-1- 2 and has been associated with various advisory com- missions ; Sir Arthur Duckham, Director-Gener- of Aircraft Production, and Sir Thomas Royden, member of the Ship- ping Control Committee. Another report, by the mine owners on the commission, recommends an Increase of elfhteen pence a day In wages and a reduction of working hours to seven. A third report, by the miners' repre sentatives, signed by Robert Smlllie. the miners' leader: Frank Hodges, Sir' Leo j Chlczzamoney, Sidney Webb and others. recommends acceptance In full of the miners' demands. Including nationaliza tion.

At this statement a rreat iinnmr nroue from the Labor benches, and cries of \We could as big.\ \You are threatening.\ i wero counter cheers, and 'lifr. i Bonar Law resumed. \This Is a threat, no could do other- wise. In such a struggle could bo but one ending, or there Is an end of government this country,\ Thu mine owners' report states that miners received wage Increases of 10 per cent, tho war, while the cost of living rose 115 cent. The majority of the miners received free coal and houses. The miners' demand Is for 30 per cent. Increase on the war wages. LABOR HEADS FIGHT STRIKE IN ENGLAND Fear Disaster Industry if Is Taken. Spedil Cable Detpatch to Tns Sc. Vopyrlght, I91j all riohtt retervtd, March 20. An analysis of the critical labor situation reveals that labor leaders have become nwaro of the responsibility resting upon them, and that If the workers heed their own leaderii country's leadlnc and the press and the public they will postpone the threatened strike until tho of the tlnw limit mentioned in appeal signed by President Wilson and Premiers Lloyd ueorge, uomenreau and Orlando. i 11 Is than ever annarent the labor men renllze the necessity of avert-- 1 In an upheaval Lloyd In fighting for a settlement which means no much to all classes. This viewpoint Is gradually gaining ground among tho mon, who realise that postponement ot peace means a further delay in the resumption of Industry. They have been told that a lack ot patience on their part might paralyse the Peace Confer-onc- e by forcing Lloyd George io leave Paris. It has been pointed out also If they force terms satisfactory to themselves by coercive methods Uie settlement will do no real good, and that the permanent adjustment .for which they are would be delayed. The blind element among the seek to force their upon Government regardless of consequences, and the crisis will be reached Saturday, nut there Is not one ln a hundred among the labor element who believes the die will be cast. This crisis will undoubtedly go down In England's labor history as the turn- ing point ln the relations between capi- tal and labor. If labor proves unrea-ponab- lo and prefers a conflict bp media- tion It will mean a long drawn between unarmed workers on ona side and armed Government forces on the other. Negotiations are proceeding hourly between' the various executive bodies \presenting labor on one side and bodies on the other. The latter are reporting hourly to the Premier In Paris. A slight advance was made, during the forepart of the week toward settling the mining and railway disputes, but a great many intricate problems remain untouched. To offset the advance ln the mining and railway trouble there Is lit- tle proepect of satisfying the transport workers. If this trouble remains the other two branches of the \triple alliance\ will be forced to cast In their lot with transporters. For- tunately this period of suspense will be ended one way or the other on Saturday unless all present Indications fall. This belief Is held generally If for no other tlian that the Premier 'a willing to stay In Paris, thus Indicat- ing his confidence In eventual triumph of thinking on the part of the English labor element.

The negotiations ware Interrupted, It Is eald, as a result of the evasive atti- tude of tho German Government. Des- patches state that the German High' Command appears to be ln open con- flict With the Berlin Cabinet and will not undertake to respect an armistice between the Germans and Poles. In making his report to the Supreme Allied Council yesterday on the PolUh question Jules I Cam ton, head of tbe Peace Conference Commission on Po- lish Affairs, set forth the purpose of the commission to create a Polish State which would have a firm foundation for ita future welfare nnd at the samo time to reBpect the principle of nationalities despite the difficulties resulting from the geographical features of the problem. Premier Lloyd George argued that Germany must not get a pretext for organising a sort of Irrldentlst move- ment, especially east of the Vistula, where the Germans were rather numer- ous. The plan of the Commission, It was pointed out, gives to Poland boundaries which render' her territory more re- stricted than it was In 1772. It put ln her possession an outlet to Uie Baltic, but excludes the Allensteln territory, to determine the position of which n plebiscite Is proposed. Mr, Lloyd George remarked nlso that by connecting Danzig with Thorn and Warsaw by two Independent railroads. It would probably be possible to make Poland economically Independent. The commission's report will probablvj. wi amcussea by the Supremo Allied Council Friday, when the question of sending ' to Warsaw the Polish army divisions which had fought on the French front also Is expected to come up. Warsaw, March 10. The Polish newspapers exnrces approval of the de- cisions reached by tho Peace Conference Commission on Polish affairs regarding the new boundary between Germany and Poland and the corridor to Danzig; CANADIANS OPPOSE EQUALIZING ASIATICS Australian Delegates Have Similar Views on Subject. Paris, 'March 20 .The Dominion delegates nere heartily concur In the view of the British delegation that the question of the equality of treatment of all nationalities throughout the world Is not a matter for the League of Nations. A prominent Australlnn expressed the opinion that the Commonwealth was not prejudiced against the Japanese, but had a great admiration for them. Neverthe- less, he said, Australians believed that It would be better for the future world If each race should develop along its own distinctive lines. The chief consideration, the Australian continued, was the Industrial one. Aus- tralia ulmed at bulldln? up In the most rapid manner an population of over 16,000,000, and her chief attrac- tion was her high wages and pleasant In- dustrial conditions. The Asiatic worker, as known in Australia, howover, was n cheap worker, and therefore, the Aus. trnllan continued. If the doors were opened to Asiatic Immigration they would have to be closed to Europeans. A Canadian delegate declared that the question of immigration must be nettled Individually by each country. Canada, ho said, hitherto has had no complaint regarding the Japanese In Canada. Their Immigration waz limited, he pointed out,' and only a few hundred were admitted yearly. bsssssssssswi j rrSLi-7- i r .ttr-ii,- - , BSK7BSSSSS J j t - sMMTk'W ma.

It Is unfortunate for the Ideal that so many of us on both sides of tho Atlan- tic have at heart that party feeling should be running so high Just now ln America and that we, who are working with Prosldent Wilson ln Paris, should furnish the sticks with which the Repub- licans are belaboring the Democrats. these party controversies, and have been at some pains to avoid even the sus- picion of doing so. Our sole wish Is to work with the American people In what wo believe to be as much their Ideals and Interests as our own. \Wishing that, with whom should we work but the President of the United States? That he la also leader of the Democratic party Is a mere accident to our mind, and If the President had been a Republican we should have beep, at exactly the same pains to understand his point of view and work with him.\ The rinves points out that there were at the opening of the conference two general views about the kind of pcacn that the world ouifht to have the French view and the American view and adds : \No vifws of rettlerrent wera po FIFTH MEN'S 2 TO ON Ill WiRDl PAH-TAM- CAKES stive OUECN SUNKIST COLO FAIRY SPONGe DEVtL DHEAM KIIK1IMO GOLDEN HUCGET CREAMY 3WCE SOUTHER PHIOC clearly Identified with this country as these two wero with France and Amer- ica.
