Hale Fails at Munich.
' CBy the Associated Press.)
' With the controversy between ItalJ
iand the council of three still unsettled
and the Chinese delegation reported to
ke disposed to protest against the
award of Klao-Chau to the Japanese,
Belgium now is. declared, to.be dis
satisfied with the terms of the peace
treaty as regards her territorial desires
in Germany.
Apparently no great attempts are be
ing: made by the council of three to1
bring about a . reconciliation In ideas
with the Italian delegates. The French
ambassador to Italy, however, has con
ferred at length with Premier Orlando.
' Council Dors Little.
Aside from discussion by the council
of three of minor articles of the peace
treaty. Friday in. peace conference cir
cles in Paris was a quiet day. Like
wise at Versailes, where-1 the German
delegates are awaiting the peace terms,
there was little activity.
The soviet movement in central Eu
rope eeemlngly is fast approaching its
downfall. Munich, seat of the Bavarian
eoviet. which was known to be sur
rounded by government forces of Pre
mier Hoffman, is reported unofficially
to have been, recaptured. In Hungary
the forces of Kins Ferdinand of Rou
rnania, with the monarch at their bead,
are about to enter Budapest, while Bela
Kun, foreign minister in the Hungarian
fcoviet. continues to make overtures for
a. cessation of hostilities by Roumania
.nd also by the Czccho-Slovaks and
tfugo-Slavs.
Red Threaten Ronmanim.
Advices from Moscow say the Rus
sian bolshevik government has cent an
ultimatum to Roumania demanding
evacuation of Bessarabia. Forty-eight
hours have been given the Roumanians
to comply.
The Spanish parliament has been dis
solved by King Alfonso and new elec
tions set for June 1, according. to re
ports received in London from the
Spanish capital.
PARIS, May 2. (By the Associated
Tress.) The Belgian delegation to the
peace conference is expressing dissatis
faction over the terms of the prelimi
naries for peace as they affect Bel
glum. None of the territiorial claims
of Belgium has been granted, except
that of Malmedy, in Rhenish Prussia,
the population of which before the war
was largely "Walloon. Malmedy will
revert to Belgium. The territory on
the left bans of the Scheldt river and
Maastricht and the Limbourg peninsula
are not mentioned in the terms.
Hon Marks Lie Idle. t
Of the $500,000,000 already mentioned

far Belgium, more than half the amount
has merely been placed to Belgium's
credit in allied countries as part pay
ment of war loans. No provision has
been made for the recall by Germany
of the six billion marks which were
left in Belgium and now lie in Belgian
banks and vaults, bearing no interest
and unproductive, as the circulation
of the mark in Belgium is not permit

arrived in Paris today bringing a mes
sage of proiest from the Belgian senate.
M. Hymans of the Belgian peace dele
gation is expected to appear before the
council of three to make representa
tions concerning the terms granted
Belgium.
VERSAILLES, May 2. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The German delegates
to the peace conference today expressed
themselves as well satisfied that the
first meeting Thursday with repre
sentatives of the allied and associated
powers took the form of a mutual ex
change of credentials rather than a
one-sided demand for the production of
the German papers for purposes of
Identification. - They take this as an
Indication that the negotiations are to
be conducted on the basis of equality.
Credentials Are Examined.
The credentials committee of the
peace conference held a meeting today
to examine the German credentials re
ceived yesterday.
There is no disposition, it is said, on
the part of th3 allies and the United
States to raise any questions regarding
the competency .of the Berlin govern
ment to speak for the remainder o!
Germany. They are proceeding on the
Theory" that the Berlin ministry is the

Southeast, was killed, and L. G. Jones,
8927 Fifty-seventh avenue Southeast,
was injured seriously at 2:30 P. M. yes
terday by the overturning of an auto
mobile driven , by Mr. Jones one mile
south of Linnemann Junction, on the
Gresham carline. Officers say they
found in the wreck the remains of a
jug which had contained wine, and that
the accident was due to the excessive
speed at which the automobile, was
traveling, estimated by witnesses at iO
or 50 miles an hour.
The wreck occurred on a curve In
Pleasant avenue. In front of the home
of & E. Poppleton.
About 100 feet from the turn he evi
dently applied the brakes, but when
the car hit the curve it turned a com
plete somersault endwise, alighting In
Mr. Poppleton's yard. The machin e, a
heavy one, caught Mr. Switzer under
neath, killing him almost instantly. The
right hind wheel struck Mr. Jones'
chest ar.d pinned him down, but prob
ably did not injure him fatally.
Witnesses of the wreck lifted the car
off the occupants and telephoned to
Portland for an ambulance. Manager
Buck, of the Ambulance Service com
pany, who answered the call, says Mr.
Jones had been drinking. Deputy Cor
oner Goetsch and Deputy Sheriff Beck
man, who investigated, agree with him.
Mr. Switzer was 37 years old. He lived
with his mother, Mrs. Minnie Switzer,
5825 Eighty-fifth street Southeast. He
was a horse trader. Mr. Jones, who is
23 years old. was until recently an em
ploye of the Columbia River Shipbuild
ing corporation. He is at the Good Sa
maritan hospital. He is unmarried.
The accident wrecked the automobile
completely, crushing the top, breaking
an axle, and tearing two wheels from
the car.
Coroner Smith- announced last night
that he would hold an inquest. If Mr.
Jones recovers, the authorities may file
a charge againxt him. The body of Mr,
Sv.-itzer is at the public morgue.

The prospective cancellations, he said.
would be of undesirable types of ships,
which cannot be completed until late

MARCH REPORTS PROGRESS
Indications Are That September Will
See Last of American Troops
Out of Occupied Area. .
WASHINGTON, May 2. Determina
tion of President Wilson, indicated In
press advices advices from Paris, that
no American troops shall continue on
German soil for a longer nerlod after
the signing of the peace treaty than
may be necessary to embark them for
home, is borne out by present plans of
the war department, which contemplate
the return of the entire American ex
peditionary force by September. Be
cause of this General March, chief of
staff, is making every effort to speed
up the demobilization in this country.
An official announcement issued to
day as to the accumulation of surplus
clothing for the troops stated that the
estimates -were based on "troop with
drawals to be completed in September,
Schedule Recently Exceeded.
The September date represents esti
mates by embarkation officials as to
the maximum possible speed in with
drawing the entire force In Europe, in
cluding the troops holding the Coblenz
bridgehead sector on the Rhine. If
anything, officers believe the move
ment will be accelerated rather than
retarded. The schedule has been ex
ceeded recently and in increasing meas
ure from week to week, with an in
dicated monthly movement of 450,000
men, the best predictions of General
March and his aides, bid fair, it was
said, to be more than realized.
General March returned today from a
personal inspection of demobilization
centers in the southeastern department
At each camp the chief of staff checked
up the semi-permanent demobilization
personnel at the camps in an effort to
reduce the number of men who are
being held in the service for this work.
Speedy Work Is Reported.
Officers recently returned from France
say the "two bottle necks" through
which practically the entire movement
must pass, the embarkation camp at
Brest and the debarkation stations at
Hoboken, are now operating at remark
able speed.

WAY,
Huge Painted Numbers on Decks
and Sides of Vessels to Serve for
Daylight Guidance.
NEW TORK. May 2. At 11:30 o'clock
"some morning In Newfoundland" the
navy's trans-Atlantic seaplanes will
start on their flight of not less than
18 hours to the Azores, it was learned
at the Rockaway Point naval air sta
tion today.
This means that the three planes, the
NC-1. 3 and 4 will travel all of one
night and will not alight before 5 or
6 o'clock the morning after they de
part from Newfoundland. Sixty de-
troyers equipped with powerful search
lights will sweep the heavens with con
tinuous swinging beams all night so
that during the hours of darkness the
air pilots can find their way along a
path of light with a "lamp post" ap
proximately every 50 miles.
For daylight reckoning huge num
bers will be painted on the decks and
the sides of the vessels so that observ
ers In the planes may check their
course. Flying will be at a height of
about 1000 feet.
Estimates available tonight are that
each machine will consume about 650
pounds of gasoline an hour at the start.
but that by the time the Azores are
reached fuel consumption will have
dwindled to something like 360 pounds
an hour, the decrease being attributed
to lightening of the load carried as
gasoline is consumed.
