THRACE PROBLEM IS DEADLOCK IN
PEACEJONGRESS United States Stands Alone in Support of Bulgaria's Claims.
(By Aasoc!at4 Tress) PARIS, Aug. 15. Frank L. Polk, head of the American peace delegation had a long conference today with Premier Venizelos on the Thraclan Question. They discussed various plans to adjust the situation, but the conference ended with the question apparently no nearer a settlement. The effort to provide Bulgaria with an outlet to the Aegean sea by means of Internationalized railroad to Dedeagatch does not eeem to be meeting with success. American delegates believe it is impossible to Internationalize the railroad without granting surrounding territory to Bulgaria. The supreme council will not meet today or Saturday. Mr. Polk will accompany Foreign Minister Tittonl of Italy on a visit to Lens, Arras and other points in the devastated area of France. They will return to Paris Monday. Uncertainty as to what country will receive the mandate of Constantinople and surrounding territory complicates the situation almost hopelessly, as Interested powers are all striving to protect their own interests, regardless of who gets Constantinople. Dozen Plana Proposed. Italy and Greece apparently have reached an understanding so that the United States stands virtually alone In supporting Bulgaria's claim for an outlet to the Aegean sea so that another Balkan war can be avoided. A dozen different plans for the dividing and disposition of Thrace have been considered the last week but the one most likely to be accepted as a compromise, although opposed by Greece, contemplates an internationalized zone extending from the Bulgarian border to Dedeagatch, on the Aegean sea. Western Thrace would go to Greece and she would also be given a strip eastward from Dedeagatch extending from the Aagean to the Black sea, including the port of Midla. The territory immediately about Constantinople would go to the country receiving the mandate there. This internationalized zone would be under the administration of the league of
nations. This plan violates the rights of majorities and separates districts to be given to Greece. v But it is apparently impossible to reach an agreement on any plan which would make this region less of a crazy quilt. The plan gives Adrianople to Greece, which is regarded as unsatisfactory as that city is considered sacred by the Mohammedans. There is a great difference of opinion regarding the exact size of the proposed nationalized zone, and now suggestions are offered at every meeting of the council.

Friends at Waynesville Denounce Army Training; "To Prussianize America" A resolution drawn up by Indiana
Yearly Meeting of HIckslte Friends at their meeting in Waynesville, August 11 to 14, attended by several Richmond Friends, characterizing universal military training as untimely and unwarranted, was unanimously passed by the delegates. "We are Just emerging from the greatest war in history, and we have been led to believe that this war was the war to end wars, and that never again should militarism be a menace to the world's peace," says the resolution. '"We call attention to the inconsistency contained In the appeals to all citizens to support the war and the present disposition of congress to Prussianize America through a system of universal military education or training. "We urge that all Friends raise their voices in protest, with the firm belief that the hysteria growing out of war will soon run Its course and the Christian ideals and democratic principles will ultimately obtain."

Mrs. Frank Medearis, of 401 Randolph street in her letter declares that Wayne county is proud of her boys who fought and fell in the great conflict and as a name for the Legion she says that names such as "The Pride of Wayne Legion," "The Pride of Wayne County Legion" would be appropriate.

SAFETY FIRST RULES LESSEN FIRE DEATHS
Senator Watson May Not Be Here for Chautauqua Senator James E. Watson, who Is scheduled to appear as the opening feature of the Richmond Chautauque next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, may not be able to arrive on account of special work of his sub-committee on H. C. L., Charles Jordan, chairman of the program committee said Friday. Senator Watson is chairman of this committee, and although he hopes greatly to make the Richmond engagement his telegram expressed doubt as to whether he would be able to get away. Plans for the Chautauqua's grand opening on Sunday are hastening. The resident tents are all up, as are the grocery and refreshment tents. The big tent is nearly ready for Its capa
city crowds. s Thlrty-slx benches accommodating six persons each were
place in the tent Friday morning in addition to the regular number of seats and benches. The lighting system will be ready for use Friday evening, .it is hoped, as many of the campers are already moving in and the white city will be partially occupied tonight.
200 MEN PLACED IN JOBS BY "Y"
Over two hundred returned service men have been placed by W. S. Rayle, Y. M. C. A. ex-service men's secretary, whose work in Richmond will close on August 30. Rayle has done excellent work In Richmond, It Is thought, and many persons are wondering how the work, for which there is still daily demand, can be successfully carried on without the administration of a regular secretary. A great many soldiers are yet to retunr and numbers of them do not have jobs waiting for them, while some already back do not have jobs. These men will need the assistance of an employment bureau after the first of September, as well as before it is pointed out. Where the help is to come from, aside from side-work assistance which can be rendered by other members of Y. M. C. A. staff, is a question. At present there are more Jobs open for service men than there are men to fill them, and the employers are interested in a number of cases of retaining an employment secretary in the city.
Another large Initiation of Moose will be held, Monday evening, August
25. Twenty-eight were initiattd at

Knights Templars of Dayton are planning to go to the triennial session of the grand encampment, which will he held at Philadelphia, September 6-12. A large delegation is expected to go.

Texas Democrats Split; New Party is Organized FORT WORTH, Tex., Aug. 15. Two factions of Texas Democrats, dissatisfied with the present party organization, met here today and determined upon separate lines of attack to accomplish a return to "the principles of Jefferson and Jackson" in state and Federal governmental affairs. One faction, headed by former Governor James E. Ferguson, left the present Democratic organization and formed the "American party," which
it Is purposed to make national In
scope before the next general elec
tions. The other faction, led by former Senator Joseph W. Bailey, laid down
a declaration of principles to be followed in carrying the fight for party
reconstruction to the regular Demo cratic state conventions.
The platform of the American party expresses opposition to the league of
nations as at present constituted, opposes national equal suffrage and pro-
hibitlon, demands prison terms for
trust formers and urges return of the
railroads to their owners.
First Lieutenant Harry E. Leive has been honorably discharged after ten years service in the United States Marines. He is at present visiting Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Siekmann, of South Twelfth street.

Safety first precautions are responsible for the decrease in the number of deaths for the first six months of this year over the same period last year, said Ed Miller, chief of the city fire department. State Fire Marshall, H. H. Friedley reports that only 39 persons lost their lives from fire the first six months of this year and in
the same period last year there were
67 fire deaths. Miller warns persons against the use of gasoline and kerosene, especially on kid gloves. These are chamois skin, he says, and contain static electricity which may ignite when In contact with gasoline. State fire marshall points out that there is a needless loss of death and property each year because of the careless handling of kerosene, coal oil and gasoline. He warns against spontaneous combustion of hay stored in barns at this time of year.
