Paris, Jan. 20-As the supreme
council of the peace congress resumed
sittings today, marked progress was
being made in the business of COM
pairing various plans for the formation
of q league Of nations and harmonic
ing them into unity of ideas which
can be taken up as a concrete propo-
sition. ~
Much headway in this direction was
made last night at the conference at
the Murat residence, which was at
tended by Mr.. Wilson, Lord Robert
Cecil, the British representative
charged with working out of a plan
for a league Of nations; Leon Bour-
geois. the French proponent Of a
plan for such an organization, and
General Jan Christian Shuts, who
has formulated a plan for a league.
Preliminary conversations over the
structure Of the league of nations are,
strictly speaking. still in the stage Of
preme council and are not technically
before the peace congress as whole,
but the fact that the congress has ad-
vanced this question to the foremost
place in its program is taken to indi-
cate that such progress is being made
in the supreme council as to warrant
the expectation that definite and
somewhat detailed program will be
soon evolved.
Wilson Hurries Plan.
This program, it is believed. will
present the common thought of the
leaders of the United States, Great
Britain and France and therefore may
furnish a starting point from which
all the peace delegates may partici-
pate in the work. President Wilson
is personally pressing forward this
one feature Of the work of the peace
congress- to the virtual exclusion of all
others.

ROUNDUP OF AUTO SPEEDER.
One Hundred Thirty-One Arrests in
Des Moines in One Day.

ACS ViSbHSo III SHC Sdys
Des Moines, Sept. 13-One hundred
thirty-one alleged violators of city
auto laws were arraigned in municipal
court yesterday following a strenuous
night campaign by traffic officers and
speeder squads.
The unusual haul" IS attributed to
an order issued late Thursday by Alb
Day, chiefsof police, that any officer
found neglecting his duty in rounding
up offenders would be suspended from
the force for 30 days.
Municipal Judge w. G. Bonner, aid
ed by three clerks, worked for three
hours today arraigning persons in
court. Eighty-three paid fines totaling
S4S5. Forty eight others had their cas-
es continued owing to the inability II
arraign the full number.
Over 38 persons were arraigned on
the charge Of operating their cars with
cut-outs open. They paid fines of IS
each. Bonner issued the warning TODAY
that Monday the fine for that offense
will be raised to $40.
we will not tolerate the operation
OF cars with cut-outs open" said Chief
Day. In city the size Of Des Moines
persons should abide by the Jaws more
rigidly. No favors will be shown. All
arrested will have to pay fines or stand
trial. This reckless driving and DISC
bedtence will be stopped at once, re-
gardless OF the steps that we must
take to stop them"
Among those arraigned today were
Rev. Frank Mutohler, pastor of the
Grant Park Church Of Christ and G.
L. McDougall, retired minister of the
Congregational church. Both were
charged with operating their cars with
cut-outs open. They paid fines.

American trade with GERMANY Is all

Buying sugar from the broker. how

In this respect the business men OF
