PEACE PREPARED
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL
PROBABLY HOLD DOCUMENT
UP ANOTHER WEEK.
REQUIRES EXHAUSTIVE STUDY
•A Number ef Advisors of PrssMont
Harding are Bald to Insist That
Proclamation Is Unnecessary.
Washington.—A tentative draft of a
proclamation of the state of peace
with Germany and Austria was taken
to the cabinet meeting by Attorney
General Daugherty, but It was Indicat
ed afterward that the document might
not be ready for the President’s signa
ture before another week.
It Is understood that, when the sub
ject came up In the cabinet room, the
discussion revealed that so many
points of law would have to be cov
ered in such a proclamation that a
more exhaustive study would be neces
sary.
The Attorney General also took' to
the meeting a mass of information
compiled in memorandum form by ex
perts of the Depmment of Justice
and it was understood that the whole
subject of what the proclamation
should contain was considered in
some detail. »
Although most of the cabinet meet
ing was occupied with other matters,
ft is understood that such discussion
as there was of the proposed procla
mation brought out that some of the
President’s advisers still consider a
proclamation unnecessary.

EVEN UP WAR-TIME CUNTRUL
Every Claim and Counter Claim Be
tween the Treaeury and Railroadt
Is Involved in Negotiations.
Washington — Treasury Secretary
Mellon announced that, under a pro
visional refunding arrangement made
with the railroad execntlvee, the car
riers would receive approximately
1500,000,000 !u additional advaacee
from the Federal government within
the next six months.
Mr. Mellon said the negotiations
with the railroad executives probably
would be completed within two deys
and that the advances contemplated
would give to the railroads la cash
sums of. money equivalent to those
vhich the government spent In cap
ital betterments during the period of
war-time control. The government
will receive for the advances six. per
cent security evidencing the indebt
edness of the particular railroads
mhich receive the advances.
All of the claims and counter-claims
between the Individual railroads and
tbs government arising out of main
tenance expenditures during the con
trol period are Involved In the negoti
ations.
Mr. Mellon Indicated that additional
appropriations would be sought from

OREADFUL WEAPOR
NEW GUN MAY BE PERFECTED
HURLING FIVE-TON PROJEC
TILE 300 MILES.
INVENTED BY AN ENGLISHMAN
At'the Recant Demonstration of the
Weapon a Velocity Pf Sixty Miles
S Minute Was Developed.
New York.—Scientists and inventors
discussed the remarkable qualities of
a new gun, which. Dr. Miller Reese
Hutchinson, former chief engineer for
Thomas A. Edison, claims may be de
veloped to hurl a projectile of five tons
from 200 to 300 miles. Its velocity, he
declared, ranges from one to five miles
a second. The noise it made at a de
monstration sounded much like the
click of a cash register though only a
miniature weapon, with an eight-inch
barrel, was used. Its projectile may
be stopped in a sheet of steel with
the precision of a trolley car.
The gun is the invention of John
Temple, an Englishman, who develop
ed the idea in this country.
The demonstration gun used by Dr.
Hutchinson had a velocity of one mile
n second. He declared the high pow
er rifles now in vogue obtain their
velocity through the use of small pro
jectiles, long barrels end about three
times as mock powder as in need In
the new weapon. The principle of
burning powder, which doss not permit
waste before the projectile even starts
to move, has been applied in the gun.
Dr. Hutchinson explained. The elml-
natlon of a* loud report was obtained
by confinement of expanding gas.
