DR. BULLET CRITICIZES

PRESIDENT John Edwin Nevin f staff correspondent i. n. serv1ce1 PARIS. Mny 2-4. Keports printed from Inspired" American sources in the Vnited States that a number of the members of the American peace delegation have resigned were characterised In official circles today as contemptible untruths. It Is true that about half a dozen experts who have leen here assisting liernard X. Paruch. head of the war industries board, are returning to the Vnited States, but their task has been completed and there is nothing more for them to do. A majority of Uie Americn experts will leave just as soon as the Austrian treaty is completed. A notable exception, however. Is the retirement of Dr. Kullit. former Philadelphia newspaper man, who was attached to the American mission in a minor capacity. Dr. Bullit. accompanied by a companion, was sent into Ruesia to investigate conditions. He met Xicholai I-enine and Leon Trotsky and gave them assurances that the United States was friendly. Upon returning to Faris. Dr. Bullit presented a report to President Wilson characterizing the Russian , regime as trustworthy and declaring: that it should be riven assistance. The report denied dories of murders by the Bolsheviks and insisted. that order is being restored. As soon as President Wilson received the report he directed It not be published and demanded an explanation as to why Dr. Bullit and his companion, both known as radicals, had been entrusted with the Russian mission. Ir. Bullit was very much chagrined because his report was not made public and withdrew from the peace delegation without any delay. Since hJs retirement. Dr. Bullit has been insisting that the failure to accept his Russian, report was "the gravest error" on the part of the president. AT LAST By June 12 All Soldiers Except Regulars Will Be Out of Europe. INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE ) WASHINGTON. May 24. The Tanks are now coming out of France so rapidly that all except the regulars will have failed by June 12, Gen. Peyton C. Marsh, chief of staff, announced today. To date. 1,152.427 troops have embarked for home and the monthly sailings are rapidly increasing. Two records have been made the general stated, the week ending May 20 seing 133.893 setting sail for the homeland, while for the cwtnty days ending May 20. the total was 230.02'J. Since November 11. 1.152.42" have set sail. The transport system is now working so raridly. Gen. March stated, that Gwu Pershing has informed the war department that nothing can be done to expedite the return of individual men. It has been the policy of the war department, the chief of staff explained, in cases where a man was urgently needed at home to designate his return as a casual. Xow, however, he will be able to reach home just as quickly by traveling with his unit. 0. S. EXPERT SUGGESTS CHANGE Germans May Have America to Thank for Changes in Economic Demands. rSTAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE1 PARIS, May 24. Additional suggestions for changes in the economic demands on Germany were handed to President Wilson today by Bernard X". Baruch. one of the leading economic experts on the American peace mission. These are additional to the suggestions made earlier in the week and it is expected they will go a long way In meeting the objections of the Germans. Howver. in this connection, it is madj plain that the concessions deal with th methods of payment rather than reductions. Members of the economic commission said the concessions in question simply restore the plan to the original condition which the Americans proposed at the outset. At that time the Americans were hopelessly in the minority. Since the Germans beigan their discussions the French economic experts have completely changed their viewpoint and now believe the American view necessary. HOI STOCKS OPENED XEW YORK. May 24.

PROSPECTS ARE GLOOMY Committee Ao Settle BisStrike Fails to Agree on Plan. WIXXEPF.G. Man., May 2 4 Failure of the committee which has been in conference here lo agree upon a plan for the settlement of Winnipeg's general strike today has appreciable lessened hopes for an early adjustment of the situation. The committee adjourned early today with none of the fundamental differences between employers and the strikers adjusted. Unwillingness on the part of the union forces to accept responsibility for involving city firemen in the strike and wide divergence of opinion regarding collective bargaining are the main issues upon which the members of the committee are, at variance. With prospects of settlement of the. strike still remote, military authorities are watching the situation with increased caution. Two companies of mounted police have been added to the military forces held in reserve to maintain order. A cavalry force of 1.500 is now held In reserve here. Ministers Meighan and Robertson, of the Dominion cabinet are still holding conferences with oppctslng forces, but as yet have made little progress toward ending the strike. Citizens are demanding that the. government take steps to re-open the postoffice And the government telegraph system, even to the extent of declaring martial law. Failure of the cabinet members to attend a mass-meeting and disclose their plans for settlement of the controversy has resulted in bitter criticism. Living conditions are still far from normal, although there has been a noticeable improvement. One dally paper was rr.inted yesterday, carrying news dispatches gathered by wireless. Other daily papers report they are preparing to resume publication next week.
