Pub- Ilshea Dy arrangement.) PARIS, July 19. (Special Cable.) The tendency to drive, which is never far away from the councils of the little five, has set in again with, a vengeance at the Quai d'Orsay. It was believed by the American delegation that the Aus trian treaty would ue finished today, but that document still hangs fire, and it certainly will no,t reach Dr. Renner, the Austrian plenipotentiary, before next week. Neither the statesmen nor the mili tary men can make upr their minds what to do regarding bolshevik Hungary. Russia is held up until the "views of President Wilson can be flashed from "W asnington. Proposed- plans will be blocked if he disapproves, for no mat ter how much the British and French may approve of' a given policy, there can be no :act'ion except" as' an inter allied measure. . As "for Turkey' and the complex mosaic in Asia Minor, several " months are likely , to pass' before ' even- the groundwork for settlement can be-laid. Vith the best wijl in the world the allies must keep Turkey in suspense until the position of the United States nhaU be defined it respect to the query w-hether the Ajnerican government will consent to administer Armenia. Con stantinople or other parts of the ex Ottoman empire, under the league of nations, or until the American, senate .shall reject the treaty. Even ratifica tion of the. treaty by the senate would not imply acceptance of the mandatory over Turkish provinces. .As an Amer ican diplomat put it today, Turkey may still be awaiting her fate when Thankseriving conies around again. The little five got a rude jolt today when the matter of repatriating Ger many's Russian prisoners of war was laid before them. Since the armistice these helpless soldiers have been fed and clothed at the expense of the llies. As there are 240.000 of them, the expense is heavy and cannot be borne indefinitely.. It is supposed the jjajorfty of them have bolshevik lean ings and so it would be unwise to ship them back into Russia to reinforce TrotzKy's rad army. HOOD RIVER TRAFFIC LESS Pavins Operations Result In Cutting Down of Touring. HOOD RIVER, Or., July 19. (Spe cial.) Recent announcements of pav ing work on the Columbia -iver high way between here and Cascade Locks, according to local garage men. have tended to cut traffic over the route to less than half of that of a few weeks ago. Motorists arrive here from the east expecting to have to ship by boat to Cascade Lrwks or to cross the Co lumbia and tke the North Bank road to the west. The garage men are eager to get definite information as to when the road will be blocked, if at all, and when the contractors expect to complete the 22 miles of paving. Rumors have been current that the paving between Cascade Locks and this city will be completed before next spring. The best information obtainable fro headquaretrs of the local engineers of the state highway commission and offices of contractors is that it will be two or three weeks before construction work will interfere materially with traffic. The cutting of a new grade between here and the top of Ruthton hill may at any time temporarily block traffic over the route. No inconven iences, however, will result, for watch men will at once be stationed at inter sections to divert traffic through the Belmont and Krankton districts. FIRES RAGE IN ALASKA Damage Done in Sixteen Hours Esti mated at $120,000. . ANCHORAGE. Alaska. June 11. (By Mail.) Forest fires raging for 16 hours along the Turnagain Arm did an esti mated damage of $120,000 to material accumulated by the Alaskan Engineer ing commission for use in construction of snowsheds on the government rail road line to Seward. Twenty-eight men mastered the fires after a hard light. . The losses of the commission in eluded over 1.000,000 feet of piling and iimoer; nuge quantities of lumber; pil me tr use in constructing the new JocK at Anchorage: thousands of rail roaa ties, ana approximately 250 cords of fuel wood. The fire swept a path from 70 feet to one mile in width and over a distance of two miles, leaving iv-pouiia sieei rails twisted and bent. jv caoin and an old sawmill were de stroyed. Winds of high velocity fanned ine names which accomplished their destruction quickly. us-s or tne snowshed material will be seriously felt by the commission it is slid, as the piling represented the cut of last winter and the choice of the umoer along the right of way.

Three times he was officially offered relief from the front and declined it. He remained at the front until the last shot was fired and crossed the Rhine with the first American troops. He ran a machine gun during the battle of Verdun. Major Dickson was cited in general orders-' for distinguished conduct in ex posing himself to heavy shell fire in burying the dead during battle. He disregarded his personal safety and in sisted on rendering his dead every honor possible. ( Chaplain Dickson conducted almost daily funerals for months. The French would bring great masses of flowers and render every honor possible. One private had the same military honors as a colonel and the dead usually placed to rest under a canopy of flowers. Amer ican soldiers were deeply moved by the sympathetic regard of the French sol diers and civilians. They were usually present in great numbers and almost daily expressed their gratitude and sympathy in music, songs and flowers. Major Dickson has been assigned to the 1st field artillery at Fort Sill. Okla homa. COLLEGE PRESIDENT HOME FATHER MEIER. OF MT. AX GEL BACK FROM EAST.

So also was marshal Foch and the French and the other allied lead ers and their contingents. London has not witnessed such a cel ebration since the late Queen Vic toria's diamond jubilee In 1897. Buck ingham palace was decorated on its exterior for the first time in its his tory. Huge flags of the allies floated from the upper windows and a wide streamer of purple and gold stretched across the facade. The royal pavilion, erected close to the Victoria memorial monument, added color to the atrlklng scene. King George, from his seat on the scarlet dais, had a clear view through a colonnade of ornate white pylons reaching for more than a half mile to the admiralty arch.

The king, in the uniform of a field marshal, kept his hand to his visor In rigid salute until General Pershing, sit ting on his horse like a cavalryman, had passed. The American troops won com pliments on their formation, 'i ne bayo nets of many were decorted with flow ers and Union Jacks.
