AMERICAN DELEGATES URGED TO REMAIN AT CONFERENCE (By Associated Press) PARIS, Dec. 1. The French representatives in the peace conference are urging the American delegates to delay their departure for home until the protocol is signed putting into effect the peace treaty with Germany, it was learned today.

UNIVERSAL TRAINING

(Continued from Page One) 3by the War Department involves a tnew Army created with a new spirit, (having wide civic usefulness, and of fuch size and organization as to be ..bji adequate reliance in case of need," jthe report said. Mr. Baker said the operations in -Trance would be dealt with in the special report being prepared by General Pershing. Not even the Uied war council he said, had realised the effect upon Germany of the accelerated movement of troops and Supplies from the United States, and (all plans had been prepared for a l-vigorous campaign in the spring of 1919. I "It Is a wonderful story and ex

hibits at Its best the confidence In rthelr institutions which Americans

Janay Justly have."

Mr. Baker opposes creation of a department of the air because of the undevelopment state of the Industry, ne

cessitating "federal regulation, as rwell as because of military considerations. It would be just as fatal to separate forces from the army, he maintained. Since June 30, 1918, the report ehows, it has been found necessary,

to use federal troops on 16 separate! occasions to preserve law and order. The incidents listed ranged from In-j

dustrial Workers of the World activities in Arizona to recent movements in the coal fields. Mr. Baker concludes his report with an appreciation of the services of General Peyton C. March, chief of staff. REGULAR SESSION

(Continued from Page One) status the Cummins railroad bill with

its provisions against strikes and tor return of the railroads to private own- - ershio. In the house, the bill to re-

strict immigration and provide for de-t

will be occupied largely with the appropriation bills for many weeks and leaders hope to enact several measures before the holiday adjournment, to begin about Dec. 20 and continue to Jan. fi. Long debate on the railroad bill in .the senate was anticipated and leaders shad little hopes of its enactment before Jan. 1, the date on which the president has said the roads would be .returned to private operation. A temporary resolution continuing guaranteed compensation for the carriers un

til permanent legislation is completed will be passed if necessary. Among the measures expected to be completed this month are the oil, coal, gas and phosphate land leasing bill and the Edge measure authorizing formation of corporations to finance American export trade. Both bills are now in conference. Besides the treaty of Versailles, several other treaties are pending and promise to evoke long senate debate. Three treaties one guaranteing assistance to France in event of German aggression, that establishing Poland and defining the Rhine frontier and the long-pending $25,000,000 Colombian pact, are pending before the Foreign Relations committee. The Peace Treaty with Austria also is expected to be ready for transmission by the president soon. The committee also has before it the resolu

tion or KepuDiican meatier Loge proposing that congress, by concurrent resolution, declare the war with Germany ended. This will be fought vigorously by the administration. Early action on the French treaty is not planned by the committee majority, but the Polish treaty, the leaders say, will be pressed. Among other important international matters pending or in prospect are the house bill to repeal the Canadian reciprocity treaty and commercial conventions and trade extension arrangements with the Allies, the enemy countries and other nations. Budget System Up. On the legislative calendar are many measures already passed either by the Senate or House. They include bills establishing a federal budget system, providing a permanent shipping policy, regulating cold storage of food products, and providing for development of waterpower.

Fiscal legislation promises to have a prominent place in the work of Con-

cress. General tariff revision and

nue laws are planned before the political campaign. Repeal of many war taxes will be proposed and antidumping bills to protect American manufacturers are pending. Permanent army reorganiation policies, in

corporating the moot question of uni

versal training, soon are to be brought

out by the senate and house militarv

committees must pass on a new build

ing program and on bills Increasing

the navy's personnel and its pay.

Prominent among the other measures to be taken up are those dealing with radical aliens and anarchists and the high cost of living. Leaders also plan to give attention to means of averting industrial strikes by federal mediation or other methods. The LaneMondell bill embodying Secretary Lane's plan of farms for soldiers and sailors also is up for passage and congress will attempt revision of several standing laws and repeal of th-3 espionage and other war measures. Numerous investigations also are planned. Senate inquiries into Mexican affairs and the coal, wheat and sugar situations will continue whll3 the House will carry on its investigations of War Department activities. Xew investigations proposed in the Senate include that into the print paper situation and Into charges by Senator Watson, of Indiana, that socialists and radicals are in the em

ploy of the Federal Trade Commission.

WASHINGTON. superb dramatic Paramount Art-

craft feature, "The Miracle Man," which is showing at the Washington theatre today, tomorrow and Wednesday, is declared to be one of the really great screen dramas of recent years. It was written by Frank L. Packard and produced as a stage play by George M. Cohan and packed the Broadway theatres in the season of 1916-1917, where It played for many months. The screen version is said to be even more absorbing and thrilling in its development of the striking story, which shows the marvelous transformation under the beneficent influence of an enobling environment of four of the most notorious crooks of New York's underworld. Hearing of the healing powers of this old man of the hills, Tom Burke and his band determined to capitalize

them to enrich themselves. Little did

they reckon that In their new field of I operations they were destined to un-l dergo a magical transformation, and j this forms the basis of one of the j most thrilling stories ever screened, j A cast of unusual strength porthays j

the,, exacting roles in the picture. Tom Meighan, well known as one of

the foremost leading men on the screen, has the chief part. Others are Elinor Fair, Betty Compson, Lou Chaney, J. M. Doumont, W. Lewson Butt, F. A. Turner, Lucille Hutton and Joseph J. Dowling.

musical comedy seemed, to certain of the higher browed musical breth-, ren, a ridiculously waste of an ex-; qulsite art, but the first night verdict of the cognoscenti proved that even a grand opera voice may not be out of place in comic opera if the composer of the opera is a master of the orchestra.
