PARIS. Nov. 80 (Assooiated Pressl.
The conferences on the preiImIna-
RES Of peace probably will be held In
Paris instead OF at Versailles owing
10 the superior accommodations and
conveniences IN the capital. Only the
formal sessions at concluding stages
will be held at Versailles
The only active sittings now going
on are those Of the Joint Armistico
Commission which holds daily sessions
at Spa the former German headquar-
ters, but which Is now held by .hc
French. French, British aud German
delegates attend the meetings. Gen.
Nudant represents Marshal Foch, with
Commandant slsteron as his assistant.
Gen. Won winterfeldt IL the German
military representative and Matthias
ErSberger. who also was n member OF
tho German arrnistice delegation, par-
tieipates In most Of the sessions.
Some OF the meetings are described
as having been very animated over
the efforts OF the Germans to secure
modification OF the terms OF tho
armistice. Marshal Foch's reply was
a refusal 10 consider a change. and a
despatch from Basel gives the text
Of the Marshals reply, which says:
'INo attention can be given to the
demands presented In Gen. Won Win
terfeld's letter Of Nov. al."
Tho Joint Armlstico Commission
meeting appears to be in accordance
with Clause 80 OF the armistice. which
admitted the principle Of a permanent
International Armistice Commission,
under the direction OF the Allied mill
tHry and naval chiefs. While Its
duties arc restricted TO tho execution
OF the armistice. Il IL one OF toe pre-
llminarles which will merge later Into

ton this morning when he tried to
defend the stock OF A. Pines e. Co.,
turrlers, No. 20 West 2eth street, o.,
which his uncle is proprietor.
Three robbers in an automobile
drew up before the place and entered.
carrying n burlap bag. Pines, sus-
pecting nothing. advanced to greet
them. Three revolvers met him and
he was ordered to put up his hands,
but he didn't.
Instead, he plunged forward and
tackled the first man about the feet.
The other two already were packing
fox skins in the burlap bag.
There was a struggle on the noor,
Pines trying to reach his opponents
gun hand. but in vain. Slowly the
weapon was brought around until
Pines could feel It's nose against his
side. II It were fired in that position
he knew the wound might easily be
fatal. He swung his body with jerk,
therefore. and interposed leg as the
trigger was pulled, and the bullet en-
tered his thigh.
Frightened by the noise. the rob-
bers fled. taking with them the bag
cul OF skins. whose estimated value
is $500. The motor OF their car was
still running and the car started at
high speed.
Pines dragged himself to the front
door and shouted for help. but did
not get II Immediately. The robbers
turned into Broadway and lost them
selves In the maze OF traffic. but the
police have q good description OF the
mon and the car.
1t Is believed one OF the robbebrs
knew just how to choose the moment
for the job. II was done Just before
the traffic policeman was due on the
corner and THERE were only two per-
sons in the store. The other was Silvio
Magnani, seventeen, who fed at tho
firse sight of the revolvers. The police
think the robbers expected TO find no.

When Mr.. Koenig was questioned
he said Regan had given valuable in
formation of a sort TO indicate that
Miss Baksa is innocent. No details
OF his revelations will be given until
his testimony has been introduced in
court.
The occurrence caused confusion at
tho trial. Attorneys and witnesses
walked about the room specializing
on the nature OF the new evidence.
and It was after noon before the court
session got under way.
The prosecution prepared 20 put
on the stand two men whose testi-
mony will have an important bear
ing on the case.
One OF the men is said to ancwer
the description the girl gave to de-
tectives OF the man she said she found
bending over the body OF Mrs. Hamel
when she returned to the house and
discovered the murder. This man
~ Eugene Wendell. who roomed at the
house and found the body.
The other witness has figured in
the trial as a mysterious lodger WIN
left the Hamel home suddenly c ISr
days after the murder. lie Sas
found at an army camp, and his
name Is Joseph F. MacGowan. The
prosecution asserts both of these
men can prove alibis, showing they
were not IN the Hamel house when
tho murder was committed, thus
tightening tho circumstantial net
around the Baksa girl as the slayer.
There will also be further testi'
mony regarding the teeth prints IN

BY a strange coincidence there ar

Colonel OF the Is5th, addressed 70 Nj.
McKenna. 1t reads:
while l had the honor Of being
Colonel OF the 1s5th Infantry very
much OF the personal interest in tho

radeship with your two boys.
Capt. William McKenna, as the
Adjutant, was a very present help and
constant pleasure. Major McKehna
was first my operations officer, when
he soon showed himself fitted to COM
mand a battalion. and by recommcn-
dation OF the former Colonel and tho
senior officers OF the regiment. SO
there was not a shadow OF a doubt in
giving him the hardest fighting COM
mand, and never a doubt thereafter in
or out OF the fight.
our association was close and ho
both interested and amused me: never
a crouch during the most gruellins
times. And he trained and inspired
the battalion which made the suoce Sc
full assault over the Ourcq.
II personally gave him the orders
for hasty action in the dark, literally
and figuratively, and saw him carry
them out quickly and quietly. lie was
