President Wil son met with the premiers of Great Britain, France and Italy today for the first time since he became ill. The discussion of responsibility for the war andhe Sarre valley, which was unfinished ttday, will be con tinued tomorrow. It was not indicated whether the president made any reference to the summoning of the George Wash ington. On account of the president's weakened condition - the afternoon session wa;; comparatively short, Mr. Wilson lying dwn immediate ly after its adjournment, although it was stated at the "white house" that he was gradually improving and ex pected to attend all the meetings of the council hereafter. The return of President Wilson to the council of four and the progress made on various questions has re moved much of the tension which existed in conference circles and has led to renewed confidence in an early and satisfactory conclusion. Reparation Problem Settled. The repiration problem now is considered definitely settled and only minor"' details concerning the functions of the commission to al lot th-: annual installments from Germany remain to be arranged. The Polish question, including the status of Danzig, is also nearing settle ment on the basij of international ization of the city. Danzig as a free port avoids the necessity of recognizing the plaims of either Po land or Germany, while the former will hav? a corridor to the Baltic to the limits of the internationalized town. Calls for Transport. Washington, April 8. Specific in structions from President Wilson that .the sailing of his steamer, the George Washington, be expedited immediately, wee received today at the X:iw department through Ad miral William S. Benson, chief of naval operations, at Paris. As a re sult the vessel wi'l leave New York for Bre:-t at the earliest opportunity, probably next Friday. Adni'ral Benson's message gave no reason for the president' order and the White House professed to have no information on the subject, but interpreting it in the light of press dispatches from Paris telling of the president's determination that delays i.t th : peace contcrence must end, most officials regarded it as significant. Added importance .also was given b'y the fact that this was the second message from the ad miral regarding the ship's departure, the first, received yesterday, having inquired as to the time the vessel could get under way. By fat steaming the George Washington should - reach Brest by April 17. She would be held there subject to the president's orders, it was said, and thus would be avail able in the event Mr. Wilson should decide to cut short his stay at Paris. In some quarters it was explained that without his ship at a French port the president might fmd him self in a somewhat embarrassing position should he decide to leave the French capital before ihe treaty i:ad been agreed upon. Hopeful Outlook. Late' nress dispatches from' Paris indicated that a mo;e hopeful view .-is tn tbe nrocress of the oeace ne- i notiations was entertained than had been for several days and this view was reflected in a cablegram're ccived tonight by Secretary Tu multy from Rear Admiral Grayson, the president's personal physician, who reported that the general sit uation had inproved slightly. Secretary Tumulty said he had not been advised as" to the situa tion which had led the president to order the George Washington to Brest and that Admiral Grayson in sending the message received tonight was cognizant of the state of affairs through press dispatches from the French capital. ' , Orders Early Sailing. The George Washington arrived at New York from lirest March 28, after taking President Wilson back to France and naval officials de cided to lay her up for a few weeks for an overhauling. Mr. Roosevelt explained todav that the ship was not in need of any extensive pairs, but that it was regarded as desirable to do some work on her at that time. , When she went to the New York navy yard officers estimated that she would be ready to sail again Uext Monday, but on communicating with the navy yard yesterday atter receiving Admiral iienson's first message, Mr.. Roosevelt found that the vessel could start four days earlier. EHrd MCMi-etM ittr May M, 1906. it 0iH P. 0. unit ct t Mirth 3t 1873. MEMM Bluffs Youth, U. S.

As a convoy at St. Pierre De Corph. he led the "multi-millionaire" life made possible by the whole sum of 666 francs. "I drew 185 francs from the gov ernment. 480 from the Bank of Ari zona and forgot army discipline. The life of luxury vvas mine and at the end, I paid by gaining 6 pounds."

Byers Says Evidence Shows Governor Is . Guilty of Malfeasance Des Moines, April 8. Hearing of evidence in the Ruthbun pardon probe was completed by the judi ciary committee of the Iowa house this afternoon and the committee is now considering the testimony and preparing its report. Chief Counsel H. W. Byers has submitted a brief to the committee summi.-ig up the evidence. The text has not been made public, but mem bers of th . committee say that Byers states the testimony shows that Governor Harding is guilty of malfeasance in office as a resultof a'failure to observe proper precau tions in granting the pardon and that Attorney General Havner vio lated statutes in his procedure in re-fretting it aside. No important testimony was in troduceri this afternoon. The com mittee is expected to make its re-; port to the house Friday. Should impeachment of either Harding or Havner be recommended by the committee, a fight on the floor of the house is certain.

' By a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, April 8. After an all da debate on Representative McLaugh lin's motion to postpone indefinitely senate file No. 2, the governor's ad ministrative civil code bill, the mo tion vvas decisively defeated this afternoon bv a vote of 56 against and 32 for. At times the debate become ex tremely bitter in its character and personalities were indulged in, none of them of an acrimonious nature, but sufficiently telling to cause those at .whom the dart were aimed some discomfort. The opponents of the bill con tended that the measure was un constitutional, in that its title con t;iined more than one subject; also that it was delegating to the gov ernor more power than 'should be accorded one man and gave oppor tunity for the building up of a political machine and that it was departing from the faith of the fathers because it deprived the peo ple of some measure of selection of their servants. Byrum Leads Opposition. Representative Byrum, leader of the opposition, closed the debate for his side. Altogether he was on the floor over two hours. From the start it was evident that he faced an unfriendly house and while he made an able speech, he created but little impression. The members who spoke for the bill denied the charges that it was f ontlnurd on Page Two, Column Three.)

MILLIONS Officials Predict -Strong For eign Demand; Expect to Have Nearly Half Billion Bushels for Exnort Trade. Washington, April 8. Forecast by the Department of Agriculture to day that the nation's winter wheat crop would total 837,000,000 bushels, the largest crop ever grown, aroused immediate speculation as to the cost to the government of such an enor mous yield. LTnder the bill passed by congress in the closing days of the last session the government is obligated to pay the difference be tween the guaranteed price of $2.26 a bushel and the world market price for every bushel not only on winter but of spring wheat produced. The total value of the winter wheat crop on the basis of an 837, 000,000 bushel crop forecast would be $1,891,620,000. The spring wheat crop, soon to be planted, cannot be estimated at this time, but Depart ment of Agriculture officials today predicted it would range between 225.000,000 and 300,000,000 bushels w hich would increase the total value ; of . the nation's wheat crop to ap proximately $2,500,000,000. I The part of this $2,500,000,000 that I the government must pay to main tain the guaranteed price was a mat ter upon which officials here de clined to comment. Other Factors Numerous. It was said that the factors in fluencing the world market price, such' as production 'in Argentina, ! Australia and other countries and the European demand, were too nu merous to make any prediction at this time. The Department of Agri culture has no information as tcV es timated production in other wheat growing countries of the world. Officials expressed the belief to day that there would be a good for eign demand for American wheat which would take care of the na tion's surplus and while the loss to the government through its price guarantee, may amount far into the millions of dollars, so far : s the ac tual wealth of the country was con- cerncd, it simply will be taking mon ey from one pocket and piilting it into another. The money, it was said, will go into the pockets of the farmers of the country and officials believe the forecast indicates farm ers will be more prosperous and pos sess greater potential buying power (Continued on I'asre Two, Column Three.)

Bolsh eyists Lined Up in Square; Every Second One Shot Warsaw, April 8. Thirty-three bolshevists were executed at Pinsk on the eastern frontier o( Poland, Saturday. Colonel Fronczak said that, ac cording to military officials, -200 bolshevists were discovered plot ting in a hall on the outskirts of the city Saturday afternoon. The building was surrounded, but a majority' of the bolshevists succeeded in escaping. About 70 were captured and marched to the city market place where ev ery second one was shot. Colonel Fronczak ' waY in a hospital around the corner at the time when he heard the shots. Later he counted the bodies. His affidavit' has been tujned .iver to the American military authori ties. Pinsk was captured from the bolshevists a month ago. Paris, April 8. -The Ukrainian soviet troops have. cammed Odessa, according to advices from Kiev . transmitted by wireless from Mos cow under date of April 7. The news has not been officially con firmed. Late dispatches indicated that bolshevik pressure against Odessa, the great Russian port on the Black sea was increasing and intimated the imminent evacuation of the cit by the allied forces. The Paris Matin said that the allies would probably be withdrawn ultimately to the Dniester in order to protect Bessarabia and that the Isthmus of Perekop had been fortified for the protection of the-Russian naval base of .Sebastopol. Expert Spring Drive. By Universal Service. Washington, April 8. A luriou spring drive against the ce.iter ot Europe by bolshevik armies is what military experts here see in' state ments given on by the state de partment. The department made public news from Petrograd via Helsingfors to the effect that the bolsheviki are concentrating on "troop transporta tion on a large scale," and that they are aso concentrating on an in crease in the factories for the mantt- facture of munitions of war. A statement made here thii after noon by Lord Reading, British am bassador, to the effect that Great Britain has not offered to recognize the soviet government is viewed by War department officials are of omi nous significance. Lord Reading's statement was as follows: Without Foundation. . "With regard to the suggeslions which have appeared in some quar ters that Lloyd George had advised recognition of Lenine or Vrotky , am in a" position to slate that these suggestions are wholly with out foundation. .Mr. LIoyd-Gcorgc has never suggested that Lenine and Trotzky should be recognized." It is pointed out that if "Great Britain does not recognize jtthere is not the slightest chance that cither France or Italy will accord recognition, so that the advance of the bolsheviki on their spring of fensive will be substantially a drive to undo all the work of the peace conference. The-outbreak of the bolshevik war on central and west ern Europe, they say, may, as a matter of fact, have to be dealt with before the peace conference ad journs. , " Army men look on the prospect at something too real and too. enor mous to be dealt with by any. other force than the armies of the allies. One of the military men said: - Two Armies Released. . "We are gettiny out of Russia ai fast as wc can and I have no doubt the British will be obliged to do tin same thing at the same time. The bolsheviki are clearing the Odessa part of Russia of the allies and thus two armies will be released for ac tion in Hungary with every possible indication that the Hungarian soviet; government will be the first great ally of the Russian enemy from the rest of Europe. It is plain that the wave is coming and that the invasion will be one of savage and numerical proportions. I read in the attitude of the president who js ordering the troops home as fast as possible and the fact that the American troops who were it. Italy are on the way home that we shall not be called on to fight trie bolsheviki Hungarian army and all the allies they cau sweep up between now and the tltk of the peace confccncc." 13 m. HANDS 5
