PARIS. Tar.. 5.?By a decision of the

taort of Louis Loucheur, French Min
^r of Reconstruction, on what bad
^n done toward re\ ictualing Austria
M<J what the requirements were. While
! ,i- report wa? r.ot made public, it
ipsears from a statement made outside
?j? council by the Austrian delegation
{j?t of 30,000 tons of food at Trieste
.asea might be used to feed the needy
tostrian? only 10 000 ions so far had
sees made available, and that at the
misent rate of consumption Austria
Tould *>e ab'e to feed her people only
sutil the end of the month, on half j
.2 lions. j
If nothing was done meantime, it
?is declared, the nation would race
?uryation. The delegation said that
tfj&ies received by them showed that
??Vienna aione the deaths from star- .
tH?oc 'n 1913 had increased the nura- '
>sr u: deaths over tho^e iti li>IS by
:d.ooo
The understanding here is tnat the
??lure so far to receive a favorable
.??iy from the L'nited States to the
?efluest to finance this temporary pro-!
vitKwmg is due to the fact that the ;
Mwnunent is unable to open credijs
:?? the $100,000.000 required without
?M approval of Congress, and that in
,. -j? absence of this permissory legis
j?on the government is obliged to ask
piment in dollars for the supplies. '
The position of the Allies is tlyit

Wallace Explains His
"Allied Powers" Plea
PARIS. Jan. 5.?Hugh C. Wallace,
American Ambassador, was reported
.?isterday to have asked the Supreme
Council of the peace conference to
diange the formula referring to the .
powers participating to the council
from the "Allied and Associated Pow- i
?a" to the "Allied Powers." This re- !
wrt was not strictly correct, it was '
earned to-day.
Ambassador Wallace, it is stated, haa ?
not asked for the abandonment of the i
term "Allied and Associated Powers."
igst merely requested that, when ques
?iorts arose which involved the United
-'ates, this formula including the i
United States be not used in docu- .'
-Bents until he had time to get a de
?sion from Washington on such ques
U03r.
Meanwhile the report appears to,
ht'."? created an erroneous impression
aerr. Evidently basing its comment
.?or. the early impression of a more
adicsl requesf by the ambassador, the
"Echo de Pahs." in an editorial to-day,
?rs:
Ta:s marks the determination of
?t United States not to participate

that negotiations probably will be con?

that is expected to effect a saving for

The New Way Knitting Company's
plant at Ypsilanti, which bas a daily
production of from 4.000 to 5,000 pairs,
of hose, and its mill at Williamston,
which makes canvas gloves at the rate
of 4,000 to ."..000 a day. already are

though not up to capacity.
The machinery of the Watertown,

cubing that goe.s into railwaymen's
gloves, is to b? transferred to Ypsilanti.
It is the beflef of brotherhood lead?

Navy Food Sales Here
To Be Investigated
Stations Got 817,000 Worth of
Supplies Without Charge.
Says O'Malley
An investigation into the conduct of
sale? of surplus food by Navy Depart?
ment officials here is under way, it was
learned yesterday.
The inquiry w?? begun following a
claim made by Markets Commissioner
Edwin J. O'Malley that he had not been
charged for $17,000 worth of navy foods
which were delivered to various sales
stations conducted, by the city while
Dr. Jonathan C. Day was Markets Com?
missioner.
Commissioner O'Malley announced
that a public hearing on terminal mar?
kets would be held in the Board of
Estimate room in the City liai! on Jan?
uary 14. at 2:30 p. m. He said he has
written to business men's and taxpay?
ers' associations in the hope ot' bring?
ing to the meeting a large number of
those interested. Mr. O'Malley himself
is known to favor a modified form of
terminal markets, discarding the exag?
gerated plan of his predecessor as ex?
travagant and impracticable. The Com
.missioner said he would not formula'*'
eonclusively his views until all parties
had been heard.

Treaty With
Reservations
; Objections to League Re?
moved by Changes in
the Senate, He Savs in
i j
His Letter to Borah
Powers for Good Seen
May in Time Realize
Aspiration for World
Peace, Senator Is Told
CHICAGO. Jan. 5.?"While the
league of nations, even as modified by
the reservations adopted, does not take
the form which I believe it should?
namely, judicial rather than political?
I think it is the part of wisdom now
to ratify it with reservations such as
have been adopted by the Senate," said
Governor Frank 0. Lowden in a letter ?
to-day replying to United States Sena?
tor William E. Borah, of Idaho, who
had requested Governor Lowden's posi?
tion on the league of nation^
The text of Governor Lowden's let?
ter to Senator Borah follows in part:
"The league of nations, as submitted
to the Senate, seemed to me to be sub?
ject to grave objection;. These objec?
tions in the main. I think, have been
removed by the reservations adopted
by the Sonnte. The instrument, a? so
.nodified, as 1 understand it, does not
bind the United States to participate
in the "racial and dynastic battles of
the Old World,'nor does it involve 'en
1 tangling alliances or partnerships with
. foreign powers,' nor does^it authorize
; 'interference by foreign powers in
; American affairs.'
Alliance Ideas Opposed
"I do not believe the time has come
1 when we should abandon the policy
1 of 'no entangling alliances.' Tt may he
that America again will deem it her
duty to participate in some foreign
war as sh? participated in the last,
but 1 think she can bo depended upon,
when that time does come, to decide
for herself, through constitutional
moans, where lier duty lies. just, as she
did before.
"While the league of nations, even
as modified by the reservations adopted.
doos not take the form which I believe
; it should --namely, judicial rather than
political- 1 think it is the part of wis
. doni now to rat;l'y it with reserva
! tions. Our sovereignty i.s safeguarded,
; the Monroe Doctrine is secure, the
'? Constitutional powers of Congress are
not impaired and our right of with?
drawal is made clear und explicit.
"I do riot see how permanent harm
can come from it, and I do sec the
possibility of groat, good. It at least
j provides for a common meeting place,
i at stated intervals, for the nations of
' file world, which are parties to it.
This in itself is a decided gain.
* Time to Pause and Reflect
"The mere fact that great nations
meet from time to time in friendly
council would in itself cause any nation
outside the league which was meditat?
ing a crime against civilization to
pause and reflect upon the conse?
quences. Then, too, when nations, or
men, >it at a. common table and diseu*s
differences between themselves, those
differences are likely to disappear For
more than half a century the 1'nited
States had boon the distinctive cham?
pion of the principle of settling inter?
national differences without resort to
arms. She cannot, afford now to neglect
any means which give any promise,
however slight, of preventing future
wars '
"In addition, if the treaty be ratified
and America becomes a party to tho
league of nations, she will have an op?
portunities so to influence its activities
and so heip to modify its form that it
may ii time realize rhe noble aspira?
tions for world peace of the great, men
who participated in the Hague confer?
ences.
"It it should fail to accomplish these
j results, or operate to the disadvantage ?
] of America, the way is clear by which
| we can withdraw.
"l therefore hope that the treaty may
I be ratified promptly, with the reserva- \
j tions, in substance, already adopted by
the Senate."

Former House Leader Ob?

Fails to Alter Program
Resolution Declaring Seat!
Vacant To Be Pushed at j
Any Time He May Appear ?
2Veu.' Yor!? Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.?Victor L?l
Berger failed to appear in the House'
to-day to take the seat to which the j
5th Wisconsin District reflected him ai
few weeks ago, but developments indi?
cated that the purpose of House lead?
ers not to let him get further than the ;
door would not go through without j
opposition. James R. Mann, former ?
Republican leader of the House, is pre?
pared to oppose the plan to refuse
Berger a seat as soon as he presents
himself without permitting any debate
whatever. Action in this summary
fashion would deny Berger any pay as
a member of the House.
Mr. Mann declined to reveal the !
moves he intends to make on the floor
when Berger appears, or to discuss the
reasons for his attitude. "I am op?
posed to the unseating of Victor
Berger." he said. "I am opposed to
summary action. I am opposed to sum?
mary action looking to the Unseating of
Mr. Berger. You can get my reasons
when I speak on the floor."
Mann Expects Criticism
Reminded that his action in appar?
ently defending Berger undoubtedly
. would ?subject him to much criticism,
Mr. Mann said, "I know that; I would
1 not do it unless I were convinced that
: it is the right thing to do."
Leaders of the House were not
i alarmed to-day by tho report that Mr.
; Mann will not permit summary ejection
' of Berger to go unchallenged. They
, do 'not believe that he. will attract
( more than a handful of supporters.
All their plans were made at a con?
ference to-day of the steering com?
mittee to have a resolution declaring
Berger's seat vacant introduced the
; minute he presented himself in the
House. Representative Dallinger, of
Massachusetts, was to move the pre
1 vious question on the resolution and
ask for a roll call vote. The motion
for tha previous question shuts off de?
bate, and the House under this plan
undoubtedly would have disposed finally
: of the case within an hour. There was
i little prospect to-night that the plan

Mr. Mann is one of the most skillful
fiarliamentarians in the House, and
eaders realize that if he wishes to do
so he may make some embarrassing
moves when the ease comes up. Some
of his friends are convinced that he is
opposed to sudden action in the
Berger case because he believes ;t
would be a bad precedent for the House
to eject ? man elected to membership
without referring the case to a com?
mittee or making any sort of an in?
vestigation. The fact that Berger was
the subject of exhaustive investigation
last year would not affect the principle
involved, in view of some of these
friends of Mr. Mann.
Double Platoon Plan
Extended by Drennan
New System Will Be Adopted
. in 37 More Fire Houses.
Starting; To-day
Extension of the two-platoon system
to thirty-seven additional rtrehouses
was announced yesterday by Fire Com?
missioner Drennan. This establishes
the system in 164 companies, about TO
per cent of the d?pannent. By March
15, Mr. Drennan said, the two-platoon >
system will be in vogue in 86 per cent
of the department.
The districts in which the Bystom is
to be installed to-day include the West
Side of Manhattan, from the theatrical
district to Harlem; the Fiatbush and
Prospect sections of Brooklyn, and the
47th Battalion in Queens, which in?
cludes the Rockaway district.
Next to use the system will be parts
of the Bronx and one or two battalions
on Staten Island.
To provide for the latest extc%iion
Commissioner Drennan appointed lltJ
new firemen snd promoted ten to the
rank of lieutenant. Two captains, fif?
teen lieutenants and 210 firemen were
transferred to equarlize the personnel
of the companies. The next additions
I will require 138 appointments and ftf
