APPEAL FOR HELP SENT OUT
BY CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI.
On Board President Wilson's Spe
cial Train. Ten points in the peace
treaty were defined by President Wil
son as the fundamental principles on
which he .'s asking its acceptance by
the United States.
The President made no stop for an
address but instead made known
through the ' newspaper correspond
ents the platform he desires to place
before the people in his plea for the
treaty's acceptance.
The ten points which epitomize the
treaty provisions are as follows:
1. The destruction of autocfatic
power as an instrument of interna
tional control admitting only self-gov
erning nations to the league.
2. The substitution of publicity, dis
cussion and arbitration for war using
the boycott rather than arms.
3. Placing the peace of the world
under constant international oversight
in recognition of the prieciple that
the peace of the world is the legiti
mate immediate interest or every
state.
4. Disarmament.
5. The liberation of oppressed peo
ples. 6. The discontinuance of annexa
tion and the substitution oi trustee
ship with responsibility to the opinion
of mankind.
7. The invalidation of all secret
treaties.
8.. The protection of dependent peo
ples. 9. High standards ,of labor under
International protection.
10. The international co-ordination
of humane reform and regulation.
Paris. The struggle between Paris
ian landlords, who seek to double or
treble the income from their proper
ties, and tenants, who are unable -to
find vacant apartments- at any reas
onable price, has reached a deadlock.
House owners refuse to extend
leases or to advertise for rent apart
ments that have been vacated. Ten
ants unable to find new quarters, re
fuse to move at the behest of the
landlords, while the courts have ceas
ed to entertain applications for writs
of expulsion, there not being enough
process servers to handle them.
Fiftv thousand notices to vacate
were served on tenants for the end of
the second quarter of this year.

Dallas, Tex. First definite, news of
life loss came late from the Texas
gulf coast territory stricken by a
tropical hurricane that swept in from
the gulf.
Flooded by water and battered by
gales, the city of Corpus Christi sent
out an appeal for help, estimating its
dead "up to 25 or more" with 3,000
persons homeless and in need, and
property damage approximating $3,
000,000. This appeal brought prompt action
from state authorities ' and southern
deDarfcnent headquarters of the Unit
ed States army at San Antonio. A
relief train was ordered started from
San Antonio for Corpus Christi with
tents, cots, blankets and medical sup
plies and foodstuffs.

SDokane. Wash. America's accept
ance of the peace treaty must be un
qualified, President Wil3on declared
here, if it is to end promptly the spirit
of unrest throughout the world. Any
change which would make the ratifi
cation conditional, he said, would re
open the negotiations and prolong
doubt and uncertainty.
Mr. Wilson said he saw no moral
objections to interpretations which
would not change the meaning of the
document, but added that such a step
would be merely to say that the
United States understands the treaty
to mean what it says.

Steel Corporation.
The executive council of the 24

in an announcement issued after they
had requested the president by tele

as to the possibilities of arranging ;a
conference with steel corporation offi

ply from the president asking that they
withhold action unti after the indus
trial conference.
The oresident's telegram was not
made public by the steel union heads
but its contents became known in
Washington through press dispatches.
In their statement the execuive coun
cil merely said they had not been ad
vised "that the efforts of the presi
dent have been any more successful"
than the efforts of the men.
Union officials firmly refused to in

extent of the strike. Throueh a decla
