o N WITH TWO HUSBANDS
Calls on Police to Settle Argument and
10 Placed Under Arrest on Charge
Of Bigamy.

Cleveland. O.-POlice here are deal
ing with the peculiar situation In
which an unnamed woman finds her
self. Fifteen years ago the woman
was married to a Minnesota man and
moved with him TO Cleveland, where
they opened Il small shop. A year ago
the wOn,an disappeared. Three months
later she came back to town with a
man whom she introduced to her hus-
band as her new husband, and showed
a marriage license from Toledo to
prove that she had another man."
An argument. apparently gOOd-na-
tured, followed. and husband No. I
proved to be a good talker, for his
wife went back to him. Then she left
again and sought out No. .. The two
husbands tried argument again. hut
this time the woman said a policeman
would have to decide the question .as
to whom she ought to live with, so
they all went to n police station and
told the story. The prosaic sergeant
could see no love TO the case and held
the woman on a charge of bigamy.
She is waiting action by the court at
present, while the husbands fraternal-
ly seek some way to help her out Of
her trouble.

MAPPING PEACE PLAN
FOR CONFERENCE TO BE HELD
EARLY IN JANUARY.
President Wilson Is Seeking Accepta'
Bile Basis by Means Of Informal
Preliminary Sessions.

Paris, Dec. lS.-After recent discus
siOns President Wilson has come tt
understand fully why the peace con
ference cannot get under way before
the first of the year. The mere ply
steal proposition OF getting the Amer
lean peace mission settled in its Of
fees is a tremendous job.
President Wilson's visit to the Amer
lean troops at the front and his re
view of them in Paris that is planned
will be out of the way by the first OF
the year. Meanwhile, the informal
laying the ground work for the peace
conference, will continue. The Presi-
dent is seeking to get acquainted with
the men with whom he is to deal, SO
that he may discuss with the greatest
freedom the problems arising. and de-
velop the value of the personal equa-
ton.
From the Presidents point OF view,
it is indicated, there are plain things
TO be said, and he wants to say them
and avoid ~antagonisms because, not
w%ithstanding all the points upon
which wide divergences of opinion
have been expressed as representing
public opinion in England and France,
the President is confident that an ac-
ceptable agreement will be reached
before the peace conference adjourns.
Diplomatic history shows that confer
ences of this kind usually, il not in
programs to work with and that such
a conference probably never accom-
plishes precisely what Is expected of
il.
President Wilson's health continues
good. He has completely shaken off
the cold which followed him to Eu.
rope. He is keeping in the closest
touch with affairs in the United
States through advices from the White
House, from members of the cabinet
and the heads of some of the special
wal bureaus upon whom he is depend
ing for accurate information.
Secretary of State Lansing was in
conference Tuesday morning with a
number of the members of the Amer
lean delegation to the peace confer
ence in an effort to organize the
working forces. The secretary began
the assignment of duties to the va
rious members of the American group.

The interviewer was inclined to be-

The pastry cook thinks Schalk slid
into the wagon as it was leaving the
courtyard. II Schalk had been nest

the wagon trying to look like the late

Paris, Dec. 21.-The London Times
correspondent asked President Wilson
what, in his mind, was the great goal
towards which the delegates to the
pence conference should strive. He
replied: ''The plain people Of all ma
tons are now looking with anxious
expectation toward Versailles and | am
sure they are asking themselves this
one question: Will there be found
enough wisdom among the statesman
there assembled TO create safeguards
against future wars""
Paris.-'I am confident that the big
council Of statesmen of the world will
be able to reach a just and reason
able solution of the problems that
will be presented to them, and thus
earn The gratitude of the world for the
most critical and necessary service
which has ever been rendered it," said
President Wilson in an interview, re-

ference.
