TODAY PROMISES In Some Respects Unparalleled In American History—Pres- ident Wilson Will Talk Over the Peace Negotiations| - mittee—Meeting is to Be on Lines of an Open Forum Discussion at Which. the Whole Nation Can Look o of Nations, Japanese Control In Shantung and Just What Part the United States is to Take In tion. Washington, Aug. 15.—At a confer- ence in some respects unparalleled in American history, President Wilson will talk over the peace negotiations and the treaty with the senate foreign relations committee tomorrow at the White House. By vittue of extraordinary plans to inform the public of every word that.is spoken, the meeting will have the as- pect of an open forum discussion at which the whole nation can 1ok on. As head of the American peace dele- gation and one of the inner circle which formulated the world settle- ment at Versailles. the president is to be asked the meaning and purpose of provisions of the league of nations covenant, the reasons behind the de- cision to give Japan control in Shan- tunz province, United States struction, raised just what part the is to take in recon- and many other questions in senate consideration of the ether Mr. Wilson will answer in so public a manner all the questiops put to him or will consider that some of the information he re- ceived at the peace table should be held in confidence as a matter of na- tional policy, remains conjectural. But the committee members mean to.give him the opportunity, if he chooses, to tell the whole of the inside story be- hind the treaty Today the committee heard itd first direct account of the Shantung nego- tiations from Thomas F. Millard. an American writer, who acted as adviser ‘on— Pl to the Chinese peace delegation. He said the settlement was reached after the Japanese virtually had threatened to bolt the conference. but he added that President Wilson seemed to be. alone in considering the threat, more than a “pure bluft.” o All the American experts on Far Eastern affairs at Versailis, Mr. Mil- lard declared, agreed that the settle- ment meant war. He had heard that a similar view was exoressed in the letter from General Bliss to_the presi- dent which the latter has declined to send to the senate as'a matter of pub- lic policy. The United States, the witness asserted, could not avold be- ing draw ninto such a wa % Mr. Millard gave it as his personal view, based *on twenty years' experi- ence’ with Far Bastern politics. that Japan never would leave Shantung until she was confronted with “a su- perior force.” Asked whether he meant a superior moral*force imposed by the league of natians, he replied: “I mean matertal force. Japan does not care a snap of her fingers for moral force.” \ During the day the strategic posi- tiéns of the opposing forces in the treaty ‘ratification fight in the senate showed no sign of change, bit there was another outburst of debate during which Senator Borah, republican, Ida- ho. declared that 'mews of unrest abroad was being suppressetl by Brit- ish and French news agencies “while the senate Is being whinved to ratify the treaty before the facts are known. e DL TO TEST LEGALITY OF RESTRICTING IMPORTS London, Aug. 18.—The legality of the government's system of restricting imports to those licensed by the board of trade, is to be tested in the courts Sir John Simon, former attorney general ‘and secretary of state for home affairs in 1915-16.

The sent system of licensing. which limits certain 1mports to a per- centage of the pre-war business, is said by critics of the present system to effect severely many American manufacturers. Authority- to restrict imports is claimed by the government under the customs act of 1576, which prohiLfts the importation of “arms, ammunition, gun powder or any other goods.” Op- pnents of the licensing system assert the term “or any other zoods,” only goods of a similar charactc John has been one of the leaders in the discussion carried on Iy the free traders.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS BY g THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT . London. Aug. 15 (By the A. P.).—In a three hours' speech in the house of commons, in which he dealt with Great Britain's domestic affairs generally, | David Lloyd George, the British prime minister, today disclosed three impor- tant decisions of the government. Two of these had been widely discussed and the government’s purpose with regard to them was anxiously awaited. One of the decisions was that the post-war plan of ultra protection, un- der which imports were limited to those granted special licenses by the board of trade. Will be abandoned Sept. 1, and the patting into effect of meas- ures to prevent “dumping.” The second decision was the rejec- tion of the majority report of Justice Sankey’s. coal commission which pro- vided for the gradual nationalization of coal mines, and in its stead launch- ing a plan for partial government con- trol by which the government will buy out the owners of coal lands who re- ceive royalties from mining companies, give the miners a share in the controi of the mines, organize the mines into districts, and establish a fund for im- proving the living conditions of min- ers. Tnder the third decision the govern- ment will embody in a bill recom- mendations for a joint industrial coun- cil of emnloyers and employes and & 48-hour week and a living wage ap- plying to nearly a!l industries. During his address the premier| placed responsibility for the delay in making peace with Turkey on _the United States. Great Britain, he said, desired to know how far the United States was prepared to assume her share in guaranteeing protection of people under the former Tarkish yoke, and while awaiting this | {information Great Britain had occupjed Turkish territory. Mr. Llpyd George used strong words in dealing with the necessity for the promoters of the league of nations to show good faith by reducing arma- ments. The premier dealt at length with the economic situation. The war, he said, had cost Great, Britain ¥ 40,000, pounds ~ sterling and an outstal fact of the presént situation was an alarming adverse trade balance. The I national debt. he pointed - out. had £rown from 641000000 nounds sterling, to_7.500,000,000 pourids sterling. “We cannot prosver,” said Mr. Lioyd | George, “we cannot even exist without recovering and maintaining our inter- national trade. | “The premier declared that Great | Britain would never improve economic ! matters until there came an increase in production. “There is no other al- ternative,” he exclaimed, “except quit- ting the country for which we fought for four vear: | The occasion for the speech of the i premier was the closing of the sum- mer session of the house of commons. | Mr. Lloyd George really was speaking on the defensive, for his government is under a remarkable bombardment | from a large majority of the news- | papers of the kingdom, which are charzing it with enormous extrava- gances under headlines such as “The Road to Rul MANAGERS MAY MEET & ACTORS IN CONFERENCE New York, Aug. 18.—Three import- dnt developments—all calculated to cheer the spirits of New York's Thes- | pian_strikers—were reported tonight in the laber dispute of the Actors’ Equity Association and the Producing Managers' Protective Association. For the first time since the strike was called, the managers indicated a willingness to attend a conference at which representatives of the FA.;u\ty would be present. Four more Broadway productions went into_a total eclipse, closed by the sympathetic strike of stage hands and musicians. e Plans for spreading the stage hands and musicians’ strike to the hitherto | undisturbed vaudeville and burlesque houses were reported to be under way at headquarters of the stage hands’ and musicians’ unions. The conference of actors and man- agers was suggested by BEugene Wal- ter and Avery Hopwood, playrights, who sent messages to the hostile camps asking appointment of repre- sentatives to confer with them. ‘The producing managers agreed im- mediately and named George M. Co- han, David Belasco, Winchell Smith and Arthur Hopkins as their represen- tatives, declaring they would be ready to enter conference at 3 o'clock this afternoon. No word was received from the Actors’ Equity Association up to a late hour tonight, but it was hoped that the conference could be arranged #or tomorrow. More than 2,000 striking actors, act- resses, stage hands and musicians marched this afternoon in one of the most unusual parades ever seen in the streets of Manhattan. Swinging along singing and/ shouting, and _carrying flags and banners, the procession marched thfough the heart of the the- atrical district from Sixty-Third street down Broadway to Madison _square. Despite the rain, high spirits ‘marked the march, and the actors' war sons, “One For All, All For One, and All for Equity,” rang clear from start to finish. ot FORCED, OWNERS TO REDUCE PRICES OF SUITS 50 PER CENT.

The captara of the United States battleship Arivna, which, with other American ships and warships of the entente p.-wers, was in the harbor, sent twenty men to the consulate as a guard. The wricer quotes the Arizona's commander as refusing to supply a'larged imard be- cause while “this occupation wus or- dered by the high council of the peace conference, the United States not be- ing at war with Turkey was not a party to the events connected with tae Greek occupation. The captain of the Arizona is quoted further .s explain- ing that the commanders cf the en- tente warships in the hacbor “h3d agreed not to take part; only to send a small guard to the respective con- sulate: For this reason. tha letier says, the cpmmander held he \7as pow- erless to t a request for a guard of two men over the orphanag: of the American Commission for Relicf in the Near East, where there werc 110 children.

Then, with the bishop in the procession, they advanced down the quay. Somewhere near the Konak (government house) they met with some resistance. Some Greek soldiers were killed, but the slaughter of Turks was far more serious. The soldiers fired promiscuously and for some time the firing was general. “With this beginning, the Greeks' blood was up. Although this was to ¢ a military occupation and political and religious affairs were not to be interfered with, high government of- ficials, including the governor of this important province were compelled to march down the quay under armed guards with their hands hizh in the air. Looting was carried” on. “All night there was firing around us and two guards were fired at. In the morning we discovered that all of the civilians, even boys, in the neigh- boring village of Praphetelia had been supplied with rifles and bayonets and firing was general. Plunder was car- ried ‘from looted Turkish homes in daylight, and word -came that a petty tax gatherer, a Turk, had been car- ried from his home by the ruffian gang and murdered. I went to see the body. A few people were nearby and among them a Greek soldier. Immediately aft- er lunch o pitsh~1 battle took place to_the south of ue. The hospitai .. .he American com- mission for relief in the Near East, still uncompleted, was hastily opened for emergency work and received “wounded people and dead bodies,” the letter continued. “This morning there were some forty odd, mostly uniden- tified’ Turks. Looting continued- at Shyrna and outlying villages for a day or two, but troops in_each instance stopped and the pillaging and efforts weer made to restore some goods, the writer said, ' . DANGER OF PACKERS ENTERING OTHER LINES ‘Washington, Aug. 13.—The danger as seen by the federal trade commis- sion in the entrance of the packing in- dustry into lines of business beyond the packing of meat: was described by William B. Colver, member of the commission, today to the senate agri- cylture committee wheh it opened its hearing on the Kenyon bill to regulate the packing industry. “The refrigerator car and their use of it said Commissioner Colver, re- ferring to the “five blg packers.” “was ndt in itself a bad thing. But they bave turned the refrigerator car into a traveling wholesale grocery, peddling at every city in the country every day almost everything that people eat. “When the packers,” he continued, “have found their customers -buying something else besides the meat they have to sell. or its by-products, they have gradually commenced to zet into the business of supplying the other things.” Mr. Colver said some credit, how- The | proprietors| ever, was due the creators and execu- tives of the industry. “Their utilization ‘of every possible animal product . and by-product, and the-extensive ramificitions necessary. to accomplish this,” he’sald, “arc_eco- nomic and.desirable activities.
