TREATY CHANGE MEETS REFUSAL AT WHITEHOUSE Suggestion Made Senators Try to Convert Lodge on Article X. AGREEMENT IS DOUBTED WASHINGTON, tyarch 6—The president stands pat. This was the word from the whitehouse today in response to inquiries as to what Woodrow Wilson’s attitude would be toward a compromise on Article X of the league of nations covenant. Senator Hitchcock last night wrote to Wilson asking him to receive Senator Rlmmoss, democrat, as an emissary who lay before him a proposal for compromise on Article X. SUGGESTS TRYING TO CONVERT LODGE, Hopes of compromise ratifications were believed to have been dashed wnen the whitehouse let It be known that Wilson sees little need for discussing the treaty situation further with administration senators; that he is adamant against any reservations except interpretative ones and that he prefers to have senators try to convert Senator Lodge rather than try to convert him. The president, it is understood, feels that he made his position clear to Senator Glass when the latter was at the whitehouse some days ago. The position reported taken by the president was believed to indicate he would decline to see Senator Simmons. SHATTERS HOPE OP RATIFICATION. Hitchcock said this morning that he bad not received a reply from the president. If the reply is as Indicated democratic senators say all hope of ratification will be given up. An alternative proposed which Senator Simmons had planned to present. In view of rejection of a compromise on Article X, was to ask the president's assent to the adoption by congress of a resolution for the establishment of peace by declaring the technical state of war between the United States and Germany at an end.

WASHINGTON, March 6.—Restraint of Director General Hines "in continuing to Interfere in an illegal way, with the orderly distribution of coal," was asked in a suit filed in the supreme court of the District of Columbia today by Noah H. Swayne II of Philadelphia, president of the American Wholesale Coal association. Other companies Joining in the suit are the Pine Ridge Coal Company of Michigan and the Coale A Cos., coal merchants at Baltimore. The allegation is made in the suit that the president's control over coal, granted by the lever law, has been "delegated and redelegaaed so many time" that the coal lduetry Is no longer regulated by the government in the public Interest. “Any one who uses coal and wants to confiscate what be wants, can get and tise the president's powers under the Dever law,” It Is alleged. The bill questions the legality of the frequent delegations of the president’s power and asserts that "those who thus regulate coal in their own interest assumed still In their own Interets to divest the owners of their cool to title to it.” British Lord Famous as Jazz Drum Artist LONDON, March 6.—Lord St. Oswald, one of Mayfair's favorites, has achieved fame as the world’s greatest uncolored jazz drummer.

10 PCT. CUT IN PAPERS URGED (Continued From Page One.) the various measures which have been Introduced in congress, the belief being that the results already achieved, the higher prices for spot paper and the Adoption by newspapers generally of the spirit of the resolutions above will finally meet the situation. 2.500 LETTERS BRING TWENTY-FIVE ANSWERS. “A month ago the American News paper Publishers' association addressed a communication to some 2,500 small newspapers, most of them not members of tbe association, asking all who were unable to secure,news print iu rolls to advise the association so that it might endeavor to put them iu touch with a source of supply. The meager response to this request some twenty-five in all. may indicate that reports regarding the inability of small newspapers to secure paper bare been somewhat exaggerated. The association has been of service to aome of the few who have been in distress and hopes to be able to help in the future should deserving cases come to its notice. ”For this purpose the information needed by us is the minimum quantity necessary for balance of 1020, statement of sizes, of present supply, Its source, tonnage and price, number or pages, circulation, and advertising volume at present time as compared with corresponding period of last year.” COUNT PREDICTS *U.

But be is also said to be demanding that they join an economic alliance with Great Russia. “I believe the new United Statea of Russia will include Finland, Latvia. Eathonla. Lithuania. Ukralnia and Crimea. BUILDERS LOOK FAR INTO riTt'RK. “While Lenlne and Trotsky are striving for peace with tbe outside world, the resumption of commerce and the building up of Russia economically they are looking far Into the future. Lenlne la quoted as saying that ho is ambitious to ‘establish a working soviet government, controlled by the common people, which will arouse the admiration of the working classes in the other nations of Europe.’ “The officials of the soviet government were hopeful of securing peace during the winter so that the spring would found tbe doorways of Russia open for exports and imports. Trotzky has elaborate plans under way for utilization of many of his best troops In industry and farm work but so far as known now only a amall percentage of the great soviet army has been disbanded. The reluc- •- •of ’he bolshevik leaders to demobilise reflected their fears of the allies’ 'peace intentions.' ”

NAVY NEEDS 30 VESSELS—DANIELS (Continued From Page One.) would have only rounded out the navy along the lines found necessary by our experience in the late world war. “Two battleships authorised prior to 1916 are now nearly completed, and we are building under the three-year program of 1916, ten battleships more powerful than any foreign ships afloat and six battle cruisers superior to any foreign vessels of their class. Ten scout crnlsers also are under construction.” The secretary pointed out that prior to 1916. naval building policy had generally followed the line of supremacy of the battleship. The world war developed submarines and airplanes to a high degree, “At present,” Secretary Daniels continued, “the United States has only one airplane carrier. "Great BrltaiD, which had a better balanced fleet before the war and continued building during the war on a more nearly balanced scale, while we specialTzed on destroyers apd other antisubmarine craft, has the following: “Airplane carriers,* G; light cruisers, 76; flotilla leaders, 30; fleet submarines, 21. FLEET WEAK A8 RESULT OF WAK. “Thus as a result of the changes in naval warfare and the sacrifices we made to win the war our fleet is weak in the types which the world war proved ar necessary to fleet efficiency. “In case the peace treaty is not ratified at the present session of congress I am constrained to recommend the authorization of the following building program : “Battleships, two. “Hattie cruisers, one. “Scout cruiser*, six. “Light cruisers, twenty. “Mine laying light cruiser*, eight. “Flotilla leaders, twenty. “Fleet submarines, six. •'Airplane carriers, four. “Bestroyer tender, one. “Submarine tender, one. “If it shall turn out that the United Mates definitely decides not to oecome a party to the league of nations 1 ahalr feel it my imperative duty to renew my recommendations of last year for the authorization at this session of congress of another three-year program.” ROCK BROKEN IN MASSES.
