INTERURBAN WILL LINK
 JEROME-CLARKDALE

JEROME. Dec. 7.- Shortly after the first of the year the interurban line between Jerome and Clarkdale will be in operation, according to in formation given by w. H. Arch deacon of the Verde Tunnel and Shelter Railroad Company.
 The grading for the new line IS well night completed and the rails have been laid for more than half the distance between the two towns. The tracklayers are working close behind the graders and the two departments of the work will be able to announce completion within a few days of each other.
 The second motor car has been de- livcred and it is confidently expected that the first train will pass over the rails within a month from today, and possibly few days earlier.
 Each motor car will pull train fit- ted up with baggage compartment and. as soon as the service becomes adjusted, it will be possible for Clark dale travellers to purchase tickets to Jerome Junction by way of Jerome and the U. V. & P. road. The inter urban schedule will be SO arranged that close connections will be made.
 Possible Extensions.
 No announcement has yet been made as to the plans of the oom- pany in the way of extending the ser vice to Cottonwood and Verde. but it is generally believed that the line will be extended at least to these points before the summer Is ended II this is done. and it probably will be done if sufficient interest IS shown in the project, it will mean com pletc linking up of the districts towns, with corresponding advantage to all, an advantage that will be felt in both business and social relations.

THE PAPERS DISAGREE
Paris Secs Premier CEemencead's
Speech in Various Lights.

Paris. Dec. 31-Paris newspapers
disagreed today in their interpreta-
ton of Premier Clemenceau's speech,
some contending he had definitely re-
pudiated the league of nations, while
others explained that he had advo-
Gated retention of the "bai'nce of
power" only until the value of the
league as a substitute is proven.
"Clemenceau does not reject the for
mula of the league OF nations, but be-
fore it's value is proved he will not
depend upon it to preserve our nation
al patrimony," said the Echo De Paris.
The Wilsonian idea is somewhat dis
concerning to ..us because it is too
loosely adjusted to, our immediate
needs" ~.
"Clemenceau repudiated President
Wilson's conceptions of peace princi-
pies and bantered his noble candor,"
the Humanite said. Tomorrow we
must begin again to arm. build for
tresses and make alliances against

QUESTION OF ADRlATIC
Wilson Will Discuss This Problem
While He Is In Italy.

Paris. Dec. 31.-Great interest is
manifested among conference dele
gates and in French political circles
in President Wilson's trip to Italy, be-
cause of the Importance of subjects he
is expected to discuss there. Fore
most among these subjects it is sup
posed will be questions relative to the
Adriatic. Fiume and the Dalmatian
coast, concerning which the Jugo-
Slavs and the Italians are not in ac-
cord. The pretensions of the Jugo-
Slavs to Fiume and the Dalrnatian
coast are founded on their claim to
a preponderaEpe of the nationals in
the populations there. According to
the views of the Jugo-Slav leaders
the controversy involves the princi-
pies of the right OF peoples to dispose
of themselves. This Is one of the
first concrete questions of this kind
that President Wilson will be called
upon to discuss.
1taly's historic claims together with
her interest in ample protection along
her Adriatic coast will naturally also
be considered

WELCOME HIS SPEECH
England's Press Wants Peace Confer
encc To Adopt His Way.


London, Dec S1.-England's press
today heartily welcomed President
Wilson's speech at Manchester. The
tenor of editorial tone was that the
problems OF the peace conference. in
easily settled if approached in the
spirit the president manifests.
The Daily News was most cordial
in its comment, declaring:
IF that is the note at the peace
conference, we need not have misgiv-
irgs as to the outcome. There can
ne no accommodation between the old
balance of power order of things
which Clemenceau is reluctant to fore
sake, and the universal concert of
power to which Wilson summons the
world. The vital test is whether the
peace conference is a gathering OF
v',tors to divide the spoils or q gatffS,
ering of statesmen pledged to subordi-
rate every sectional and national in
terest to the interests of humanity"
The Times calls Lloyd Georges
question TO Clemenceau regarding
Frances need of the British navy the
decisive test and emphasizing Wilson'S
acquiescence in it, predicts that ''the
question of freedom of the seas will
yield to treatment by the same spirit
that animated the presidents visit.
The proposal to penetrate the peace
conference and make 1t the machinery
OF the league Of nations, coming from
Wilson himself, is regarded as most
vital by the Chronicle.
Unless it perpetuates itself it can
not escape the fate OF former peace
congresses" this newspaper declares.

Those Near Moscow RevOlted
Against the Government.

Paris, Dec. 31.-The attitude of the

alarming the Lenine government, ac-

in large numbers. Numerous villages,
the correspondent adds, were RACED by
artillery and large numbers of peas
ants massacred.

members of the local soldiers council.
The arrests caused the greatest sensa-

revolution. .a-e
The men who were arrested were at.
one of the largest hotels in Munich and
are said to have been engaged in
conference when the officers arrived.
They say they were arranging for
the recruiting of citizen soldiery, but
the police accused them of aiming an
attack on existing institutions. 1t is
reported they apparently attempted to
destroy a number, of discriminating
documents which the police seized.
Three of the men were later released.

detained is known. He is a Munich
