Marshal Foch thea discussed with

the present war was Russia, he asked
on whose side Russia would be in the

The marshal then argued that only
on the Rhine itself would it be pos,

event of another attack. He said that
some people would object that it would
take too many troops to hold the river.
But it will not take so many as it
would to hold political frontier, for
the Rhine may be crossed only at GER
tain points, where as new political
frontier to France can be broken any.

PURIFY WATER SOON
ChIorinator for City System Is Being
Installed. Says Hopper.

G. E. Hopper. engineer, in charge Of
the water plant, stated today that 1t
will be impossible to obtain city water
free from all bacteria until the new
chlorinator ordered by the city is in
stalled.
He stated that the water would be
purified in a few days. The chlorin-
. tor ordered some time ago by the
city has arrived and is in the process
of installation.
DR.. H. L Clark, city health officer,
made a trip to the water plant this
week to talk over the work of instalia-
ton of the chlorinator a nd suggest
methods of connecting up the appara-
tus to the entire satisfaction of the
water plant.
The chlorinator is a chlorine gas
making machine and when the water
is passed thru it bacteria of all kind
are eliminated by the process which
kills them off in the same way that
soldiers were killed in France by the
use of chlorine gas. However, the wa
ter does not retain the gas and can in
no way injure the patrons of the wa
ter system.

PEACE MEET OPEN
A Second Session Is Held in
Paris This Morning.
League of Nations To Form
Principal Meeting Business.

Paris, Jan. 25.-Discussion of the
league of nations was to form the
principal business of the second ses-
sion of the peace congress, which met
in the Quai D'Orsay this morning.
Other subjects which had been
whipped into shape for open debate
during this weeks sittings of the
sibility and punishment for the war;
reparation for war damages; inter-
national labor legislation; interna-
tionalization of certain ports, water
ways railways and the procedure
for bringing territorial questions be-
fore the delegates.
Correspondents were admitted at
today's session in observance of the
present program of five secret meet
ings to one open meeting. Premier
Lloyd George was to begin debate on
the league of nations by presenting
the British plan. Whether the Ameri-
can program would be brought for
ward also was uncertain.
1t is understood that both the Brit
ish and American plans, according to
the latest notifications, provide for
establishment of what amounts to an
enlarged and improved Hague tribu-
nal The principal provisions of the
British scheme are understood to in
clude establishment of high court to
settle international disputes with en-
forcement of its findings by public
opinion rather than a supernatural
police force: some sort of disarma-
meht: cancellation of all treaties which
would interfere with the working of
the league; formation of a board to
pass on international labor problems
and exclusion of the central powers
until they had proved their fitness for
membership.

FATE In TWO BATTLES
Portuguese Lino Up for the Figh.
Over Future of Government.


London. Jan. 25.-The fate of Por-
tugal is expected to be decided in two
important battles. which may already
be under way today.
The fighting will probably center
about Oporto, where the mona rchists
have established the seat of govern
ment, and Lisbon, where the repub
lican government still holds out.
Dispatches from Vigo. Spain. today
indicated that government troops were
about to attack Oporto in great force.
A military airplane is said to have
dropped leaflets over the city, warn
ing foreigners to leave to avoid being
slaughtered. Another dispatch said d
government destroyer bombarded the
city last night. Previous advices indi-
Gated a concentration of republican
forces in the vicinity of Oporto.
Lisbon apparently is partially in the
hands of the royalists, thru detection
of a portion of the garrison. The
monarchist leader at Cruelas wire
lessed the royalist commander in
Oporto that the cavalry units, part of
the infantry, several batteries of ar
tillery and many civilians in Lisbon
had joined the royalist revolutionaries.
other reports said the garrisons of the
city forts were remaining loyal to the
republic.
The monarchists appeared TO be
gaining strength in northern provinces
but the issue will be decided in the
possession of Lisbon and Oporto.

An eighty acre farm in the northern
part of the county, an $50 diamond
ring and SIS in cash are the things
which Adella Wright Wolfley wants to
recover from Bert Sharts, a local jit-
ney driver, and Addison Harries, who
works in an oil filling station at Sixth
and Topeka avenues, according to her
petition filed this morning in the Of
flee of the district court. She also
wants a restraining order issued to
enjoin the defendants from disposing
of the property until the case is tried.
Mrs NolfIey claims that last May
Sharts and Harries represented to her
that Harries had the exclusive right to
sell a contract and patent right be-
longing to D. E. Harries to sell the
tools of the Modern Tire Tool COM
pany of Omaha in Shawnee county.
D. z. Harries was about to enter the
army, she says it was explained to her.
and wanted to get rid of his patent
rights, which they claimed were worth
more than $1,000.
Traded Farm Away.
Mrs. Wolfley says she was induced
by the representations of Sharts and
Harries to trade her farm for the rights
to sell the tools. Later. she says the
defendants again approached her with
the news that they had five more
counties to sell and that they would
turn the rights to these five counties
over to her in exchange for the Shaw
nee county rights and s100 additional
She says she surrendered the Shaw
nee rights, paid them SIS cash and
gave them an $50 diamond ring. They
were to return part of this money. she
says, but failed to do so.
She says she afterward discovered
that the whole thing was a fraud and
alleges that such a person as D. f.
Harries never existed. but that the
name was used by the defendants as
a means of parting her from her land,
money and diamonds
