Peace Delegates Turn to Pro-
posed Plans for Formation of
League of Nations.
PROPOSAL TO RUSSIA
Delegates of All Slav Factions Invited
to Meet Allied ENJOYS at Princes
Islands Feb 15-Pershing Like
ly to Represent the v. S.

Paris, Jan. 24.-The prelimin-
ary peace will be signed early in
June at the latest, according to
the most trustworthy information,
says Marcel Hutin, in the Echo de
Paris.
Paris, Jan. 24-The supreme coun.
Gil OF the peace congress has turned
to the establishment of a League of
Nations. This question promises to
command virtually the undivided at
tention of the delegates until their
action regarding Russia shows results.
AS the Russian delegates are ex-
pected at Princes islands until Feb.
10, this means that the attention of
the congress will be turned to the
League of Nations until President Will
sons departure for America.
The supreme council unanimously
adopted a proposition brought for
ward by President Wilson asking all
the Russian factions, including the
bolshevists, to meet the Allied and as
sociated governments at Princes ISL
ands in the Sea Of Marmora, Feb. Is,
the contending factions meantime de-
claring truce and suspending all
military operations.
Pershing to Represent U. S.
General John j. Pershing, the Amer
lean commander-in-chief, has been
called to Paris. 1t is expected he will
be the American military member O:
the joint commission.
Besides the definite proposal as CIV
en- in the communique, the joint COM
mission of the associated powers will
lay down four conditions indispensa-
BILE in bringing about an adjustment.
First, peace at all points; second, re-
moval of all economic barriers which
restrain the free circulation or ex-
change of food and commodities be-
tween the factional zones and the out
side world third, general elections on
a representative basis, and fourth,
some adequate arrangement for the
payment of debts.
A plenary meeting of the full con-
ference was announced for Saturday
when the plans of President Wilson
and David Lloyd George, the British
prime minister, dealing with League
of Nations will be the first order of
business.
Consider British Plan First.
1t is regarded as quite significant
that the first plan for a League of Ma
tions to be considered comes from Pre-
mier Lloyd George. This is in con-
sonance with what has been known in
a small circle that President Wilson
plans to have European ideas come be-
fore the congress in advance of his
own American officials explain that
Mr.. Wilson's purpose is not only out
of Difference to European nations
which have sacrificed so much in the
war or out of Difference to views of
European statesmen but that there is
technical advantage in reserving
American plans until all others have
been fully discussed, that they may
form bridge by which disagreements
may be dispelled
Wilson Wants Best Plan.
Mr. Wilson has told his colleagues
that he has no personal pride of au-
thorship in the plan for the league and
Is quite ready to place himself in a
position of supporting some other ma
tion's plan rather than his own If he
feels that procedure will best serve

Ever Kick a Battery to Pieces?

Of course you wouldn't do it Intentionally
No good driver would.
But lot of experienced drivers of trucks
and passenger cars have kicked their bat
teries to pieces without even knowing it by
banging on the starting button when the
motor didn't take hold at once.
Perhaps the trouble was just thick oil. 81
Maybe water had accumulated in the
carburetor.
Possibly connection had worked loose.
Butwhateverit was the battery had to suffer.
Iou can get far longer life from your battery, and
incidentally from your whole car if you'll always be
where the trouble is and correct it just
as you locate it.
