PARIS, March aaiIei Lloyd
George and President Wilson conferred
privately for an hour this forenoon be-
fore the eeanacil of fpui. met At the
preeitlsll
That the purpose Of the conference was
to expedite the peace proceedings
The probability that important final
decisions will be taken this week by
the peace conferees is pointed out by
the French press today Dwelling upon
the French claims, the newspapers re-
iterate their arguments that these are
Just and legitimate and absolutely nee
essary for the safety of France and
likewise of the world.
The Echo de Paris claims to know
that in order to assure the security of
the French frontier 1t will be made
obligatory upon Germany to destroy
her forts on the right bank of the
Rhine, with the allies occupying the
left bank until the war indemnity is
paid. Regarding the indemnities, the
experts, the newspaper continues, have
admitted the impossiblity of Germany's
paying enormous amounts during the
next two years. The newspaper says Ii
understands the payments required will
be on rising scale yearly, each of the
allies to receive itB share either in cash
or various products.

resolution requesting "all consumers OF

and peanut oil, was introduced by
Hugh Humphreys at a meeting Of tho
foreign trades and merchant marine

A drastic Indictment was made
against the Oriental oils. 1t was de-

MONEY UP, BUT
He HASN'T MOVED YET

Tony Camapagna, Court square mer-
chant, who is known probably to every
man, woman and child in Memphis, put
up $500 earnest money more than nine
months ago, as a guarantee of the rent
Of the handsome new stand which was
built in Court square by the park COM
mission. Tony bid $3.50 day rent, and
was awarded the stand, which 1t was
stated would be the only one allowed in
or near Court square.
The park commission finished the lit
tie house last July! II stood empty for
many months. Now Mrs. 7. F. Kelley,
secretary. of the Feed Memphis COM
mittee. has the stand as her office, and
has made It a beauty spot with her
flowers and garden seed lists. No one
would attempt to have Mrs. Kelley
move, until her seasons work is done,
but good many people have wondered
why, when the stand stood vacant for
months, Tony was not notified to take
possession and begin paying his rent.
Inquiry developed the fact that the
park commission and the city authori-
ties could not get together for some
reason. Chief Burney told them that he
could't move the other fruit stands from
Court square without the mayors per-
mission. The mayor has been so busy
that no order to the police to move the
other stands has been issued Tony, Of
course, stands on his agreement that all
other fruit merchants must vacate the
square before he begins to pay that
$3.50 a day for the exclusive fruit priv
ilege, as well as the rental Of the new
building.
