There is no general market for the extra planes and the only offers received have been for relatively small numbers and at prices that mean to the government tremendous loss on investment. There is no reason to expect, it is said, that even a tenth of their cost can be salvaged. -Probably planes, that cost $15,000 or more will not bring more than $1,000.

Under universal suffrage there will be ,000,000." In speaking of China, he said: "It is essential for the future of China that all nations have the same policy toward that nation. With a divergence of policy, China would be divided against itself, as some will favor one policy and others another."

Stormy Cabinet Meeting Ensues. Washington," April 2. Director General Walker D.

Hines of the federal railroad administration, which is the largest purchaser of steel in the United States, has refused to accept the price readjustments arranged by the industrial board of the department of commerce in conference with representatives of the steel industry. Regular Rumpus Results. An effort to effect an "agreement between the board and the head of the railroad administration failed, although members of the cabinet, the industrial board and representatives of the food and fuel administrations, the war trade board and the war finance corporation conferred for four hours. The conference at times grew stormy with the cabinet members finally withdrawing to an adjoining room from which they emerged with a recommendation that the question be committed to the board for further consideration. This finally was agreed on.

Slain Goes the Lid. Members of the conference were reticent in discussing the proceedings. Secretary Glass, who called the conference, refused to see newspaper men afterward and the official statement concerning the gathering was very brief. As originally issued it read: "The steel prices approved by the industrial board of the department of commerce, not having been accepted by the railroad administration, the views of both sides were expressed at the conference. The views of the industrial board were expressed by Secretary Redfield, Chairman Peek and other members of the board.

The views of the railroad administration were presented by Director General Hines. The matter was committed to the board for further consideration." The statement caused such a Hurry by its intimation that the entire question of steel prices would be reopened that an amendment was added by Chairman Peek to make the last sentence read: "The matter was committed to the board for further consideration vith the railroad administration." Additional conferences will be held at which the board will attempt to show the railroad administration that the prices agreed on are not excessively high according to cost figures obtained by 1 the federal trade commission. Director General Hines has- maintained that the railroad administration was entitled to its enormous purchases at prices as low as could be obtained. Hines Is Belligerent. M.

Hines, according to one of the officials present, told the conference that the agreement on steel prices reached by the board with the steel industry two weeks ago was made over his protest and was without warrant of law. The director general was reported as declaring that no matter what terni was applied to the work of the board in its attempt at price readjustments, it was price fix-J ing. The Sherman ar.ti-trust law, it was said, was cited by Mr. Hines. He further stated, it was said, that the railroad administration should be left to make its purchases at prices acceptable to it and that he would not accept arbitra -y prices recommended Washington.

April Army reorganization plans on which the war department is working, it was learned today, provide for an air service with approximately 1,700 airplanes actually in commission and a reserve of 3.400 additional planes. This is based on the proposed military establishment of 319,000 men in which the total air service personnel will be 1,923 officers and 21.S33 men. The organization tables show that the air forces on a- peace basis will bp composed of 87 service squadrons, of which 42 will be assigned to coast defense work in the I'nited States and insular possessions: 20 will be pursuit squadrons and 25 observation and bombing squadrons. The tables also call for 42 balloon companies divided into three wings of 14 companies each. The general plan of the army reorganization calls for 21 divisions, including one cavalry unit of nine regiments, to be formed into five army corps, each to be commanded by a lieutenant general.

To each corps will be attached five observation and bombing squadrons of airplanes and four -pursuit squadrons, representing a wing formation for each type of machine. Rrand New Arm of Line. The effect of this will be to give the air 'service definite recognition as the fourth arm of the line, or combat forces of the army, the others being the old trio of artillery, cavalry and infantry. All other units are supplementary forces, generally known as auxiliary units. Carrying out the organization of this plan, the tactical formation of the By the Associated Press.

Stuttgart, Tuesday, April 1. Proclamation of a gexisntl strikes of work-ins: people throughout Wuerttemburg today was met by a counter strike on the part of the bourgeoise. Street fights developed in the afternoon and three persons are believed to have been killed and many injured. The casualties occurred when a column of strikers, holding a demonstration for their demands, met a large detachment of government troops with machine guns and armored cars. The troops insisted that the strikers disperse.

The strikers refused and adopted a threatening attitude. After several warning shots the troops tired. There was some brief hand-to-hand lighting, after which the demonstrators were driven off and order was restored for the time being. Stuttgart, however, is growing ner vous. The gas and electric supplies have been shut off and the food situation is serious.

Although the demands of the strikers are ostensibly for the removal of martial law, the -release of political prisoners and new elections for the soldiers and workmen's councils, it is believed in government quarters that they are working systematically under the surface to bring about the downfall of the local government, by which they hope to endanger the national government. It is claimed that it is intended that the strike here shall spread all over Germany. The majority socialists have not taken a definite attitude in the situation and seemingly are divided. The independent socialists and the Sparta-cans are working together. Only two newspapers, one majority socialist and one independent socialist, are permitted to appear.

TROUBLES, SPREAD RAPIDLY. In Frankfort serious riots have occurred. Eleven people were killed Monday and 25 were wounded. Wholesale arrests have been made. In the Rohr diKtrict 150,000 men are on strike.

A riot was precipitated by the discovery in the burgomaster's house of large stores of foodstuffs, of which the working people are woefully short. The potato ration has been reduced two-fifths. In Stuttgart, a state of seige has been proclaimed. The Berlin government claims to be prepared for eventualities. Disorders will be handled with "ruthless severity," according to dispatches.

It is- stated that Bolshevist movements In- German Austria have been unsuccessful. Reassuring reports received by the airplane branch of the air service will be in squadrons, groups and wings and the balloon section in companies, groups and wings. The formation is elastic, however, above the squadron, two or more squadrons, as circumstances require, forming a group, and two or more groups a The same arrangement prevails with infantry divisions, two or more of which form a corps. Thousands of Planes Stored. Machines in sufficient numbers to equip all the air units planned for are being stored now at the various aviation fields that are being retained by the government.

Storage capacity has been provided for approximately 6,000 complete planes, not including those in service or in immediate reserve with the squadrons. In addition, airplane motors by the thousand have been stored, the upkeep of any unit in service requiring three of four motors per plane. The producton of planes has exceeded, however, even the storage capacity of the fields. The war department is now negotiating with air- 1 1.
