SMALL LIKELIHOOD
OF WHEAT DEFICIT
Secretary Redfield Does Not Believe
Guarantee Will Cause Loss
to Government.
to Government.

Boston, May 1.-There is small
likelihood Of the United States gov
eminent having to face a deficit be-
cause of its guarantee of a fixed price
for wheat, according to Secretary of
Commerce Redfeld, who addressed
the Executive Association Of Whole
sale Grocers Of New England here
recently. Foreign crops were greatly
impaired by war conditions and the
European demand for American wheat
will far exceed the normal figures.
In the event that the government
price should exceed current market
quotations, Secretary Redfield thinks
the nation should accept the loss and
permit the people to reap the benefit.
There has been speculation in
Washington as to what 1t would cost
the government to make good it's
wheat guaranty" said Mr.. Redfeld.
Opinions have ranged anywhere from
nothing to a billion dollars. AS time
goes on, however, it becomes increas-
lngly clear that the food conditions in
large parts of the world are bad
worse than thought. The people of
the Central Powers probably will not
raise over half g, crop, and as they
used to call upon us for large amounts
of food in normal times, it is certain
those demands will be greatly in
creased, provided always that means
can be found for payment. Therefore,
many we'll Uniformed men doubt
whether the prices of wheat will fall
below, or even to, the government
guaranty.
''If they should go below it is my
own belief that the government should
itself accept the loss and allow the
country the benefit, if there shall be
one, of the lowest prices that prevail

Baths and Buildings at Brighton Are
Raced in Hours Time.

New York, May lone Of the most
spectacular fires that Brighton Beach
has experienced in many years did
approximately 100000 damage last
night and for a time threatened to
level the entire resort. The blaze was
discovered at 1855 o'clock in the
northeasterly end of the Brighton
Beach Baths and within an hour they
were RACED, together with three blocks
of small buildings, scattered from east
Of the Brighton Beach hotel to near
Manhattan Beach.
The Pagoda Restaurant, owned by
Theodore Soutsous, who was making
ready for the seasons opening, was
completely destroyed, as also were
many of the smaller concessions.
Parts of Manhattan Beach were
threatened for a time and bits Of blaz-
ing embers found their way to the
streets of Coney Island, but at no time
was the Brighton Beach hotel, one of
the oldest resort hostelries in Amer
lea, in danger.

Another DELAY in
PEACE IS FEATURE
China, Japan and Italy Send Out
But Little News Today
(By The Associated Press).

Possible delay in the handing Of
the peace terms to the German dele
gates at Versailles is indicated in late
advices from the Paris conference.
The function may have to go over
to next week while questions as to
the powers of the enemy's represen-
tatsVes and their qualifications as
spokesm for Bavaria are being
looked into. Today was set for the
handing over by the Germans of their
credentials 10 a commission for eX-
animation but dispatches filed direct
from Versailles last night made it
appear probable that this presenta-
ton would be postponed until Fri
day.
The Chincse-Japanes dispute over
Kiao Chau and the adjoining Shan
tung province has been settled by the
Council Of Three Of the peace con-
ference. Announcement is made that
the former GeRnan holdings are to
be given without reserve to Japan
which would engage to hand the
Shantung peninsula back to China,
with relations between China and ia
pan and the future integrity of China
to be unde" the control of the league
of nations.
ALI German rights in Shantung are
to be held by Japan. The Kaio Chau
railway will be guarded by special
police forces composed Of Chinese
which will be trained by Japanese Of
ficers selected by the directors of the
railroad and appointed by the Chinese
government. All Japanese military
forces are to be withdrawn from the
province as soon as possible.
Japan is given the right to estab-
lisn a settlement at Tsing Tao, a city
on the extremity of the point Of land
which juts southwark from the Shan
tung peninsula and forms the eastern
shore of Kiao Chau bay, the strategic
base seized by the Germans in the
Far East following the Boxer re-
bellon in China.
Although China is held by the Pc
king dispatch to be demanding the
return to her of Shantung province
and Kiao Chau it is considered i'm
probable that the Council of Three
! will reconsider it's decision.
Reports from Paris and Rome seem
| to indicate a disposition on the part
of both the Council of Three and
I the Italian government to reach
| some sort of understanding as to the
Fiume question that will permit the
italian delegates to return to the
| conference without loss of dignity.
| Conversations between Premier Or
| lando and Thomas Nelson Page; AM
| erican am hassador, took place yes
| terday at Rome, Mr.. Page later re-
porting to President Wilson.
There are reports that the Soviet
regime at Munich has been over
thrown. Other dispatches states that
the German government troops are
still some distance away from the
city although closing in on the So
Wet forces.

ALL IN READINESS
FOR TREATY TERMS
Hotel Trianon at Versailles Has Been
Prepared for Impressive Cere-
monies to Take Place.

Versailles, April 80 (Bye the Asso-
ciated ress.)-The spacious dining
room of the Hotel TrianOn today re-
ceived it's peace congress installation
three long tables in horseshoe form
covered with the traditional green
cloth of diplomacy and games of haz-
ard. The installation is imposing in
the size of each of the side tables,
which extend some 40 or SO feet. At
the head of the apartment Is q table
about IS feet long, at which the rep
resentat ives of the great powers will
be seated with President Poincare or
Premier Glenn enceau in the center.
Inside the horseshoe is another ia
BILE covered with red plush and in the
space beteween one side of the horse
shoe and the windows is a similar ia
BILE. In the window openings are a
numbe of smaller square tables for
secretaries.
This is the scene for the handing
over of terms of peace. The exact
date of the ceremony has not been an
nounced but it is monty assumed
it will occur on Saturday. The French
government, however, has carefully
abstained from naming the day and it
is a further presumption that is due
not only to the problem whether the
intervening time will be long enough
to verify the cred entails of the Ger
man Observation-Disclosures but also the I'M
certainty whether the draft of the
treaty can be completed by Saturday.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's Simple
Recipe That Anybody Can Apply
With a Hair Brush.


The use OF Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmothers
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking
at any drug store for bottle or
"wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation. improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
saws 1t darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied. You simply dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
