i ished and? that any former member? j of these depots caught with weapons will be executed. The government is preparing' to clean up., all Spartacan districts thoroughly.

FRENCH SEEKING REPORT OF WATER

WAY COMMITTEE -Paris, Wednesday, March 12.—-(By

The AssoeiwtttT press. W-The. French, are making an effort to secure a re-, port from the sub-committee' on wa­terways and railways in favor of the standardization of equipment on con­tinental railroads. This would permit the use of cars across national boun­daries which now is impossible.

Such a step would tend to unify economic systems and reduce costs of transportation.

WEATHER FORECAST.

Minnesota: Unsettled tonight and Friday, probably light snow; slightly colder tonight In sooth portions; fresh to strong north­east to east winds.

North Dakota: Unsettled to­night and Friday, probably snow; continued cold.

Washington, March 13.—Letters were addressed to the mayors of all principal cities today by Arthur | Woods, special assistant to the secre-' tary of war, asking co-operation in efforts to "safeguard the economic welfare of soldiers who have been dis­charged from the service and are re­turning to your state and city to re­establish themselves in civil life."

"The opportunity that the war de­partment has actively to serve the enlisted man," Mr. Woods wrote, "ex­pires, it might be thought, with their separation from the service, fully paid, and with, a $60 bonus and trans­portation to their homes. They go from the service in good health, if physically disabled, compensated by the system of war risk insurance. While the actual responsibility of the war department does end here, the moral responsibility does not end un­til the soldier has been absorbed by normal civil life.

"Feeling this moral obligation as we do, the purpose of the war depart­ment is to co-ordinate, through my office, the various activities of the federal, state and -,city governments as well as those of private organiza­tions, looking to ai system which will minimize the injustice and the peril of unemployment of discharged sol­diers. The war department wants to do all it can to supplement and to help locrfl effort."

Schedules of Ocean Steam­ers Changed in Attempt

New Tork. March 13.—The ham­pered movement of coal barges and the congestion of freight became more -serious today as the striking harbor workers and the employing boat own­ers continued in deadlock over the terms of a settlement of their con­troversy over wages and hours of la­bor. Schedules of trans-Atlantic lin­ers in some instances, have been changed in the hope of obtaining coal, while almost every vessel in port is experiencing trouble in coaling.

The demoralized conditions of the coal barge service has resulted in so diminishing the supply of steam coal that transit companies have appealed to the public service commission and the naval authorities for aid. A com­plete shutdown of service on the ele­vated and subway lines ot the inter-borough transit company was pre­dicted today by Prank Hedley, gen­eral manager of the company, when the four days' supply on hand is ex­hausted. •
