Ngura has a wireless station which the Australian cruiser Melbourne destroyed, eo Premier Hughes claims the island for Australia. Bift Premier Massey of New Zeal and Insists that as the islands are somewhat nearer his country, it should have them. As neither side would yield, the problem remains un solved. The future of German Austria Is still troubling the conference and as its union with Germany would make new German frontiers coterminus with the Italian and on the southwest would ex tend along Swiss territorya condition that both of these countries and France desire to prevent, the latest suggestion is for the neutralization of the Tyrol, cutting off the Voralberg district from Austria and its incorporation as a new canton in Switzerland. Naturalization Held Safeiit. But the French and Italian cantons oppose this solution, as it would corporate a large additional German population In Switzerland, giving the Germans a considerable preponderance, and therefore the conferences seems to be thrown back on the scheme for neu tralization of German Austria as. on the whole, the surest safeguard against its joining forces with Germany.

In mak ing his report to the supreme allied counctl yesterday on the Polish ques tion, Jules Cambon, head of the peace conference commission on Polish af fairs, set forth the purpose of the com mission to create a Polish state which would have a firm foundation for its future welfare, and at the same time to respect the principle of nationalities, despite the difficulties resulting from the geographical features of the prob lem. Poland, M. Cambon pointed out, was half enclosed by German territory and imperatively needed an .dependent out let to the tea to insure her national autonomy. Therefore, he said, it was necessary to incorporate in the new state Home German elements which, he reminded the council, had been intro duced there by Germany herself with deliberateness and in conformity with her colonizing system. Premier Lloyd-George argued that Germany must not be given a pretext for organizing a sort of irridentlst movement, especially east of the Vis tula, where the Germans were rather numerous. The plan of the commis sion gives to Poland boundaries which render her territory more restricted than it was in 177:1. It puts in her pos session an outlet to the Baltic which along a considerable distance spans the Vistula to Danzig, but excludes the Allensteln territory, to determine the position of which a plebiscite is proponed. Mr. Lloyd-George also remarked that by connecting Danzig with Thorn and Warsaw by t wo independent railroads it probably would be possible to make Poland economically independent. The commission's report probably will be discussed by the supreme allied council Friday, when the question of sending to Warsaw the Polish army division which had fought on the French front also is expected to come up. WARSAW. March 20. (French wire less.) The Polish newspapers express approval of the decision reached by the pi-ace conference commission on Polish affairs regarding the new boundary between Germany and Poland and the corridor to Danzig. They question the decision concern in it a referendum in the A Ilenstein district and point out that the Prussian census of J 91 1 showed a Polish majority there. The papers declare there is urgent need of solving the problems of Tes chen, Lemberg and Vilna, where the claims of the Poles conflict with those of Czecho-Slovaks, Ukrainians and Lithuanians, respectively. GERMAN GOVEKXJIEXT EVASIVE PARIS, March 20. (Canadian Press.) The dominion delegates here heartily concur in the view of the Britsih dele gation that the question of the equality of treatment of all nationalities throughout the world is not a matter for the league ot nations. A prominent Australian expressed the opinion that the commonwealth was not prejudiced against the Japanese, but had a great admiration tor them. Nevertheless, he said, Australians believed that it would be better for the future world if each race should develop along its own dis tinctive lines. . The chief consideration, the Austra lian continued, was the industrial one. . A' Canadian delegate declared that the question of immigration must be settled individually by each country. PARTS. Wednesday, March 19. (By the Associated Press.) A Japanese amendment to the covenant of the league of nations providing that the contracting parties shall agree to grant "equal and just treatment" to all aliens within their borders who are nationals of states that are members of the league will be submitted to the supreme council? it is learned by Reuters from Japanese sources. The standpoint of the Japanese is that all citizens of nations deemed sufficiently advanced to become mem bers of the league of nations should have equal rights when traveling or living in fcoreign countries, it is said. While the Japanese delegates do not accept the view that treatment of for eigners and discriminating immigra tion laws are purely matters of domes tic policy, they say they are content to ask from the league only a recognition of the claim of their people now living in foreign countries to equal rights with other aliens.

Shortly after Mrs. Storrs arrived. This story was told to a city detec tive. M. M. Peyser, who told it to As sistant Prosecuting Attorney Carmody. Carmody summoned Miss Garrison to his office and detailed the whole al leged tea-room scene to her.

When seen here last night, Storrs knew nothing of the sensational developments in the death of Mrs Storrs. He expressed doubt as to the con fession of Ruth Garrison, saying that if she made a confession it was only to escape the tortures of the police third-degree methods. "I am satisfied that my wife took her own life, fulfilling the threat which she had repeatedly made," he said. Storrs denied that Ruth Garrison had spent any time in Okanogan. He was calm and collected and apparently un moved by the developments In the love triangle. Storrs registered here yesterday under an assumed name and kept to' his room until train time last night in order to escape interviewers. While no warrant has been issued for his arrest. Captain Tennant is de sirous of knowing something of the conversation between Storrs and Miss Garrison when they were together on their last day, Monday, the day before Mrs. Storrs was poisoned. The detec tive will say nothing about his reasons for desiring this information nor would he say that he believed Storrs is im plicated in the plot to end his wife's life when the question was put to him direct. An effort is being made to locate. Storrs in Spokane. 'THE STORE THA T UNDERSELLS BECA USE IT SELLS FOR CASH' ALLEGED MURDERER WEDS Marriage of Massachusetts Woman Takes Place in Hospital.
