McLean. in Py Associated Preist WASHINGTON, March 2. John Skelton Williams retired Wednesday night as comptroller of th currency. In accepting his resignation "with deep and genuine reluctance," Pres't Wilson wrote Mr. Williams that he had been done o. "gross injustice" by the way in which tho senate banking committee had handled the question of his re-confirma-tlon. "I can only believe, however." said the president, "that time will disclose the injustice to everybody and that the right verdict will be rendered by opinion, if not by one of the houses of congress. "I have had the pleasure upon more than one occasion of expressing to you the approval not only, but the admiration with which 1 have followed tho administration of your office. You can carry away with yoQ Into private life the satisfaction of having performed the duties of comptroller of the currency in a way which has resounded not only to the credit of this administration, but to the material benefit of the financial interests of the country-" The president was writing in reply to a letter from Mr. Williams on Feb. 2 5. tendering his resignation, effective Wednesday night, and in which ho took a parting shot at som of his critics in congress. The retiring comptroller charges that "certain senators" who had the power to bring his nomination before the senate had "dodged and evaded ignominously." Mr. Williams also wrote that since "the expressed opposition" to his confirmation, and prolonged hearings before two senate banking committees virtually had put him "by implication" under charges he had felt that he was "entitled to a verdict."

att tpt a MonriHv ix I I I r. 1 1 ix IMA vy r k Allies Give Final Decision of Powers to German Delegation Today. PREDIGT ULTDIATUM Briand Wins Lloyd George Dver to French View Demands Action. Dy Aioriated Pre: LONDON. March 2. The Germans at noon Thursday will hear the unanimous decision of tho allied powers on the counter proposals which Dr. Simons, the German foreign secretary and head of the German delegation, presented Tuesday at the reparations conference in Linearer house, and the consequences which will follow their failure to comply with the nllied terms. There is little doubt as to the nature of the reply, for in a statement issued after a meeting of the supremo council Wednesday evening, the counter proposals are described as meriting "neither examination nor discussion." Details of what steps will be taken to enforce tho demands of the allies were withheld Wednesday night, it being considered only an act of courtesy to let the Germans hear them before they are published. Put it is learned that tho British premier has been won over to the French view. Lloyd George Consents. Mr. Lloyd George consented Wednesday to the employment of armed forces against Germany, in the event of her non-compliance, to the extent of the occupation of Mannheim by British, French and Belgian troops, and also of the Ruhr ports on the Rhine. There may possibly also be a blockade of German ports, although sme of the powers are opposed to this. Tho reply Is described in some circles as being in the r.aturo of an ultimatum. The wriousncss of the 3tep which la being taken, both In refusing to discuss the German countfr proposals and In the action to follow, may be Judged by the long and earnest consideration the allies gavo to it. Wants Immcdiato Action. The French premler, M. Briand. favors immediate action, on the ground that the Germans are evading the terms of the treaty, while the British and Italians have advised against precipitate movement. After a long conference on the proposed economic and military measures, in which Marshal Foch, Field Marshal Wilson and the Italian and Belgian experts participated, a unanimous decision was reached. (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR) MAJORITY FÄY0R DAYLIGHT SAYING Vote Returns at C. of C. Show 49 of 61 Persons Favor Ordinance. That tho merchants and manufacturers of South Bend are keenly inlerested in the proposal to revive the daylight saving ordinance in this city was evidenced by the early replies to questionnaires mailed out to the members of the Chamber of Commerce. Although tho questionnaires were not put into the mails until late Tuesday night, by Wednesday evening a total of tri members had returned the papers properly filled out. A check-up of the list showed 4 members to be In favor of the ordinance, while 12 were opposed to it. In the questionnaire, the porltion of each mcmlHT was sought together with his reasons for approving or opposing the plan. The majority of the rj men who were opposed to the daylight plan, however, announced that they were only conditionally opposed. In the event the daylight plan was adopted nationally, they declared. thy would approve It. Others said they would have no objection to the ordinance provided the city of Chicago would vote to set the clocks ahead an hour this summer. Only a few of the members were radically opposed to tho plan regardless of the action taken by other cities throughout the country. Doctors Favor Iu This was the first referendum that was ver taken by the Chamber of Commerce in which such quick action war received. The oßlcials of the local organization believe that a complete vote on the plan will havo been received by this evening. As soon as the remaining members announce their views on tho plan, the result rvlll be announced and proper steps will b taken to urge the passage of the law by the city council. The merchants and manufacturers who are in favor of reviving the ordinance, in nearly every case c ite as their reasons the saving of light expenses. Nearly all of the doctors of the city have approved the plan on the ground that it aids sanitary conditions in the city and gives the laborers more aunllght and daylight.

Fight Within Shadow of Capitol. By Asoclted Pr: WASHINGTON. March 2. Death closed Wednesday the career of Champ Clark of Missouri, for more than a quarter century a towering figure in national politics, a stalwart of stalwarts in the democratic party. He died In the very shadow of tho capitol. Just over the way from the hotel where he has lived many years, houe and senate seethed In the closing hours of the congress of which he was an honored member and leader. The tdlr of legislative battle was with him to tho end. He lived again in memory, as his pulses flagged days of the eight years he yielded tho speaker's gavel In the house. Those sorrowing at his bedsldo heard tho old chltftaln mutter In his last delirium: 'The question is en adoption of the conference report Omare Halts. By mandate more binding than any written law. congress barely halted in reverence to mark the pawing of the aged member. Knowing as the years had taught him to know the vital urgency of time in the closing days of a congress, tho former speaker made known his will from what he knew waa his death bed. Ills wish was carried to both houses that no halt In public business should bo made at his death. In obedience to that behest, the house, peopled with his personal friends of whatever party, halted a short half hour In adjournment, then marched on with its crowded program. In that pressing work, Mr. Clark took active share t:p to little more than ten days ago, counselling his party colleagues as democratic leader until a cold struck him down to become a victim to the infirmities of his 70 years of driving life that reckoned nothing of his own physical welfare. Throws Shadow. His death threw a shadow over every face in the chamber when Rep. Hücker, of the Missouri delegation, arose to announce It, voice choked with emotion. It was a halting, "brief eulogy he pronounced, but it drew from rruembers frigns of sorrow more eloquent than words to tell of the place the dead leader held In their affection and respect. The formal motion for a half hour adjournment was made by Rep. Mondell, republican leader. Mr. Clark would have been 71 years of age, had he lived until next Monday, but his 25 years of service in the houso would have ended Friday, for ho was defeated for reelection. In the subdued talk on the floor, or in cloak rooms, while the house paused in honor cf his memory, frlonds of years' standing scorned the suggestion that the stout heart of the MIssourlan had been shaken by political defeat. That he had foreseen long in advance, they said. It was a more personal matter that had broken his spirit, they insisted, the death a year ago of his idolized, three-year-old grandson and namesake. Champ Clark Thomson. Interest WaneL Since that blow, it was said, Mr. Clark's colleagues had noted a waning of his keen interest In public affairs and a little droop to the massive shoulders so familiar through the years in the corridors of the capitol. There was one thing upon which (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR) CONFEREES AGREE OH ARMY MEASURE Passage of $385,000,000 Army Budget at Session Practically Insured. By Aifoclated Press: WASHINCTON. March 2.- Senate and house conferees on the army appropriation bill reached an agreement Wednesday night to make provision for an army of 15 6,000 enlisted men for the next fiscal year. The agreement was a compromise between the senate figuro of 175.000 and the house maximum of 150.000, and apparently Insures passage of the J3S5.O00.000 army budget at this session. The senate conferees immediately submitted the bill as agreed upon to tho senate and it was approved, leaving only action by the house on tho conference report necessary to send the measure to the prcident. Inasmuch as the size of the army was the chief stumbling block In the attempts to reach an agreement and as the agreement reached Is near the house figure, the approval of the house is expected to be given promptly Thursday. rtoordr-s From Amendments. Both the senate and the house during the day and night had refused to recede from their respective army strength figures. As compromised the bill will appropriate $77, 83$. 000 for subsistence and pay of the enlisted personnel. This will mean an army for the year beginning next July 1 averaging 155,666 men. The senate also receded from amendments which would have given MaJ. Gens. Liggett and Bullard permanent rank as lieutenant generals.

CONGRESS IN FINAL EFFORT TO RUSH BILLS

Concentrate on Passage of Supply Measures Before Adjournment. BILLS BEFORE WILSON Emergency Tariff and Immigration Bills Await President's Signature. My Arsocltted Pres: WASHINGTON, March 2. Con-grefc-s, within a day and a half of adjournment, had cleared its calendar Wednesday night of ten of the thirteen annual supply measures and leader still were hopeful of geting two others the army and sundry civil through at the last moment. The fight on the naval hill was continued in the senate and Indications were that it finally would take its place with the great mass of bills which wero regarded as certain to die with this congress. Among the measures for which hopo had "been abandoned were those proposing compensation for former service men. regulation of cold storage and the meat and coal industries: 5100,000,000 for state road aid, a federal budget system, reapportionment in the house, reorganization of the patent office and many others regarded as of k-sa im portance. Signs Six Measures. Pres't Wilson has signed six of tho supply measures passed. These aro the postotfice, diplomatic. District of Columbia, rivers and harbors, pension and deficiency. The legislative. Indian and agricultural bills were sent to him Wednesday. General legislation awaiting the president's signature includes the emergency tariff bill, which reached the white house Wednesday morning and was referred for report to tho treasury' department; the immigration restriction bill, now beforo the labor department for a report, and the resolution repealing most of the special war time laws. The. house agreed to the conferees' compromise of $21. KM), 000 for the army air service, Instead of the $1;9. 200,000 it originally voted. The senate had proposed J23.000.000. Of tho total. $3.500,000 would be available for new planes and 4 0O,000 for experimental work. Soldier IKmus lilocketL The fate of tho soldier bonus bill apparently was decided Wednesday in the senate. Sen. McCumber, republican. North Dakota, for the finance committer, made formal request for unanimous consent to bring up the measure, but Sen. Thomas, democrat, Colorado, -who filed a minority report Tuesday, opposing it, objected. Sen. McCumber asked if the senator would carry his opposition far enough to tl up the measure with parliamentary obstructicn and .Sen. Thomas replied that while, his throat was not In very good condition, he would do the best he could. Sen. McCumber, thereupon announced that he would not press the measure further as Sen Thomas' "ben would be more than sufficient," to block tho bill. The deadlock between the houso and senate over the senate amendment to the sundry civil bill appropriation of $10,000,000 for the Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals, Ala., still Is unbroken.
