CLAIMS TO BE REITERATED Order Withdrawing All American Troops From Italian Terri tory Reported. . BT HERBERT BAYARD SWOPE. ICmTruhl b th Nw Tork World. Pub- liril br Arrn(re:nent.) PARIS. Auril 20. (Special wireless.) No solution has yet been found by the bis; four on the Fiume question, despite the urgency of Premier Orlando who U to return to Italy to maice a pronouncement before the chamber. Il is anticipated that his statement will be a reiteration of the Italian claims to Flume and Ialmatla. which Huron Sonnino, before the big four, has rigidly maintained at the maxi mum. The outlook causes distinct pessi mism, for although Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd ;eonce are understood to have sympathised with President Wil son's firm stand on the question of principle, their hands are tied by the arret treaties which he holds were abrogated by the "14 points." Yimki 1m Withdraw, la Report. The feeling in Italy Is reported to be running very high, and It is credibly reported that Oeneral Treat, the Amer ican commander, has issued an order directing the withdrawal of all Amer ican troops from Italian territory be fore May 1. while the Red Cross and other war workers remaining after that date, must remove their uniforms. Various constructions are put upon this order, but it Is surmised that it really means that In view of the in ternal conditions of the country, it is undesirable to hare any foreign troops there. In some quarters an effort Is made to indicate that the tense situation over the Italian claims has been re lated and that a compromise is pos sible. But this view finds no accept ance In Italian quarters, it being point ed out that, the presence of Foreign -Minister Sonnino in the conference of the supreme council Indicated that Italy's position is assuming strength rather than weakening, as Sonnino has, been from the outset the champion of Italy's demands. Italy Relies 1. S. Sapaart. However, there is still a belief that Italy cannot afford, in any sense, to refuse a reasonable compromise. This view even makes allowance for her in ternal situation, or the hopes that have been encooraged among her people, for it is pointed out that her withdrawal from the conference would mean that American support would be cut oft and on that support Italy must rely chiefly for her reconstruction. The earliest date now named for handing the peace treaty to the Ger nians Is May Zt. and it Is understood that the first work of the envoys m ill be to have talks with the big four. preparing the way for the plenary con ferences. Another session on the ar rangementa for the Versailles meeting was held yesterday afternoon at the t-ml D'Orsay. when It was decided to tjike precautions to keep the treaty m-t ret until it is presented to the Germans.

An interesting situation has arisen respecting the formula for the man ufacture of German poison cases, which, at the last meeting of the coun ril of ten.

Dr. Fridtjof Xansen. head of the commission to feed Russia, is hav ing difficulty in getting In ouch with Nikolai Lenine, Russian bolshevik pre mier, concernlns the revictualling of Russia on condition that the bolshevlkl cease hostilities. The wireless services of the entente countries apparently are not available, and a messenger will be rent to Norway to communicate Dr. Nansen's message to Moscow. Conse quently Lenine s reply probably will not be available for several days. The French press is showing a hostile attitude toward the revictualling plan. One newspaper describes it as "anoth er Prinklpos," and several charge that it is an attempt by Americans to in gratiate themselves to obtain conces sions, and. sco it the suggestion of humane, rather than political, motives. Although the American peace delega tion has repeatedly stated that William C Bullitt and Lincoln Steffens were not empowered to negotiate with the bol shevik! when they recently visited Rus sia, the fact that they were accompan ied by Captain W.

BOO WORKERS STRIKE AT LEADVILLE MINES Walkout Result of Order for Cut in Wages. $3.50 IS HELD INADEQUATE ODerators Declare) Reduction AVas Necessary Because of Depres sion in Price of Metal. LEADVILLE, Colo., April 20. Be tween 600 and 700 miners, engineers and pumpmen, employed in the big mines of the Leadville district, struck today following refusal of mine opera tors to rescind their action ordering .a cut of $1 a day n wages. There is no picketing and the city Is quiet. The miners are not members of any International uni6n. The strike followed a mass meeting last Monday night at which the miners refused to accept a wage reduction from 14.50 a day to 13.50 a day. Efforts by Governor Oliver H. Shoup to get the men to agree to a wage of J3.75 a day failed. Several Mlnea Affected. The principal mines affected are the Iron-Silver, the Yak, the Mikado, the Greenback, the Downtown group and a number of leases at Yak. Some Mlnea Not Affected. The Ibex and Garbutt properties, near the city, are not yet affected. The wage cut at these mines was 50 cents a day, because the miners must pay their transportation to the properties each day. - Three hundred -men are em ployed! at the Ibex and Garbutt lodes. Pumps in the Downtown properties were working, manned by volunteers, but jt was reported that the Mikado had pulled its equipment and that it was feared tbe'overflow would seriously affect the Downtown properties. Fifteen or 20 small leases, generally employing only a few men, are not af fected. No cut in wages at these prop erties was made. The miners maintain they cannot live on a wage of $3.50 a day. The oper ators assert that the cut In wages is necessary because of the depression in the price of metal. . Two Smelters Operating. Two smelters, the Arkansas Valley plant of the American Smelting & Re fining company, and the Western Zinc Oxide company plant are still in oper ation. The zinc plant which employs about 100 men, has sufficient ore to continue running for about a month, and the reserves at the Arkansas Val ley smelter would keep a few furnaces in blast for about the same time. Ces sation of operations at the latter plant would affect about 600 men. All of the mine managers have stated that there will be no attempt to operate their properties with outside labor. During the past week there has been a marked exodus of single men from the district. tics, and ProfesoBr W. L Schlichter. Colonel Edwards said that the army today no longer could bo called a pro fession, because It embraced the ne cesisty of many professions, and that experts in the various phases of these professions were as necessary to the army as to any other calling. National extension of the plan to be carried out at Columbus, it was pointed out by several university officials, will prevent a repetition of conditions-prevailing when America entered the world war, and the boasting predictions of Germans, particularly of Dr. Dernberg, the kaiser's former emissary and one time colonial secretary, that America could not train officers capable of commanding men in sufficient numbers to wage war successfully, - would no longer be Justified. But the military and the university authorities emphasize .the fact that military instruction is being co-ordinated with the regular academic work of the university. The general scheme now being developed makes it possible for the student to co-ordinate the work that normally he is taking in college and professional school to fit himself for the profession which he is to pur sue after graduation with those features of the military courses which are most akin to what the student intends to make his life work. Courses in heavy artillery will fit In logically with the problems of a man whi is preparing himself to be a civil engineer. Train ing for the signal corps and the air service is allied closely to that required by electrical engineers. -. Men who are to become chemists may, by taking military courses, familiarize themselves with the work of the chem ical warfare service. It is even hoped that the law school will offer enough military law to those who may take it to afford the army, in case of necessity, a Buply of trained judge advocates. Colonel Edwards is outlining a course of military lectures, to be given every Thursday afternoon at Columbia. Many well-known military men will be in vited to speak on military topics. Ma lor-General Thomas H. Barry, com manding general of the department of the east, and Captain Archie Kooseveit are among those who will make ao dresse soon.

Through an arrange ment with the United States govern ment, Columibia university immedi ately will begin building a system by which students will be trained for war during peace times. It is the beginning of a movement which the war depart ment may extend to other colleges and universities for the purpose of creat ing a great body of trained officers available at once in the event of war. Columbia will utilize the resources of the university engineering department and will add speciial training and equipment, to be . supplemented by work in camps. Included in the pharapnernaiia which soon Is to be sent to Morningside Heights is a battery of 6-inch guns of the latest model, in addition to var ious types of trench mortors, anti-air craft guns, range finding instruments and plotting boards. Complete infantry equipment will be available at an early date. Following a conference of Columbia officials and members of the general staff detailed by xhe war department. it was announced yesterday that many of the details of the project have been decided upon and that the opening of the fall Jerm will find a complete sys tem of training for officers in three branches of service. The conference was participated in by Lieutenant-Colonel George L. Van Dusen of the signal corps; Major Ed ward P. Noyes of the office of the chief of heavy artillery; Major B. A.

New classes are opening in the United States shipping board's free navigation school here, and its free school in marine engineering at Berke ley, Cal., and the recruiting service of the shipping board has made an appeal to men to enter into the work. "It is important that we anticipate this need" said C. W. Saunders, chief of section five of the shipping board, with headquarters at 120 Market Btreet, "and prepare to supply the men, as the proper operation of our merchant fleet is just as necessary now, if not more so, if we look to the future of this nation's welfare, of which the new merchant marine is a vital part, as it was during- the war when every ship meant a battle won. "What the shipping board really neas now are men who see in the merchant service all it's vast possibilities, and who join not only for the fine purpose of helping this country establish her prestige as a maritime power, but be cause they know by proper effort in this service they can gain for them selves a profitable vocation. Each of these hundreds of ships will need eight licensed officers, four on deck and four in the engine department." Applicants with two years' sea serv ice and physically sound will be ad mitted to the new navigation class at once, after the approval of their appli cations by the local inspectors of steamboats. The average length of the course, if attended during the day, is from four to six weeks. Men of a certain amount of mechan ical or engineering experience, not necessarily at sea, are qualified for the four weeks' day course in marine en gineering, subject to the approval of their applications by the steamboat in spectors. Graduates requiring additional sea service before being qualified for their examination for licenses will be sent out by the sea serviec bureau as reserve ofifcers for eight weeks at 90 a month. Graduates of the navigation school passing their examinations before the steamboat inspectors will be licensed as third mates and higher, acocrding to the amount of experience they have had. Similarly graduates in the ma rine engineering branch passing the steamboat inspectors will receive li censes as third assistant engineers and higher.

There is no prospect of north Russia feeding herself until the next harvest and even this is made ex tremely difficult by the shortage of seed grain. The allied rood committees in Arcn- angel are seeking a way to help this population. The conditions that prevail n this territory among a population oi half a million are believed to prevail to an equal or worse extent throughout central Russia, under bolshevik control. The American Red Cross has ceased civilian relief on a large scale in the Archangel district, since this work is to be taken over by the Hoover federal organization, whose representatives, at this date, have not arrived. The Archangel Viestnik, commenting on the situation, says: "If the northern region, desires to be able to subsist on ts own supplies, the necessary seed grains must be received not later than in. four months. If they are not re ceived in that time the population is either condemned to starvation or they will depend entirely upon the allies."
