Rear Admiral Joseph Strauss said Friday on his arrival here on the steamship Adriatic. Admiral Strauss, who had charge of the work of sweeping up the mines, said that 22,000 of them

had been picked up Intact.

"The highest praise is due to the men of the navy who were engaged in the .most hazardous and trying task of planting and sweeping these

Manifestly the United States cannot be represented on this co-ordination committee until she ratifies the treaty. General regret is apparent over the impossibility to start off all the commissions created under the treaty with a full membership from

(By Associated Press) BREST, Oct, 17. A few days ago, according to a story in the Paris papers, a street row occurred here in which some Americans took part. One of them was hit by a revolver bullet. The hospital surgeon took a long time probing the wound; but the American stoically bore the pain. "What are you doing anyway?" he asked, finally. "Looking for the bullet," said the doctor. "Why didn't you say so? I've got it in my pocket. I took it out myself," was the retort.

PALMER TO ENLIST WOMEN OF AMERICA

WASHINGTON, Oct. IS Attorney General Palmer and his officials associated in the fight on the high cost of living determined Friday to enlist the aid of the women of America. By appealing to the controllers of household finances throughout the country it is hoped to inaugurate an epoch of

real economy which will offset the "buy now" propaganda of trades people. Furthermore, an attempt will be made to discourage the frequent changes in styles dictated by the makers of women's apparel and thereby effect a saving in clothes. Another important decision taken at today's meeting was to release more surplus supplies held by the government if it can be done without embarrassment to the departments involved. Secretaries Baker and Daniels and Chairman John Barton Payne

of the shipping board were invited to the conference for the first time for

that purpose. Mr. Baker being unable to attend, the attorney general and

Morgenthau Asks Gibralter i as New Statue of Liberty NEW YORK, Oct. 18. A suggestion that Great Britain share the control of Gibraltar with the United States was made by Henry Morgenthau today on his return from a seven months trip abroad, primarily as chairman of a committee appointed by President Wilson to investigate pogroms in Poland. Referring to his previous advocacy of the acceptance by the United States of a mandate for Constantinople, Armenia and Anatolia, Mr. Morgenthau said: "Our people will expect Great Gritain to welcome us in the Mediterranean and the near East, not as a rival or competitor, but as a full partner with all rights, privileges and responsibilities." Asked if he knew how English statesmen would feel toward such a suggestion, he said: "I was told by leading English statesmen that they would be willing to accept almost any conditions for the United States to assume these mandates.
