ARMisTsCE PERIODS
 BaaY BE SHORTENED
Allies Consider Revising the Terms Every Ten Days
 League Plan
 Amended.

Paris, Feb 11-A proposal to change the allied armistice policy and greatly shorten the armistice periods is said to be before the Su- preme Council This proposal calls for the limiting of the armistice peri ods to about 10 days at the end of which time new terms would be inn posed on Germany.
 It is said that this would give the allies better hoM M on the situation and enable them to meet the con stantly changing conditions. No in timation is given as to the attitude of the Supreme War Council.
 Tn view of the complexity and diversity of the problems raised by the armistice, says 3 Havas report, the Supreme War Council has ap- pointed a committee of eight to study these questions. The council there fore has postponed for few days the adoption of conditions to be imposed upon Germany, so as to be better pre- pared as to means for insuring their execution.
 Matthias Erzberger and the other members of the German armistice comission are preparing to leave Weimar, says dispatches received here, for Treves to carry out negotiations for renewal of the armistice.
 League Plan Delayed.
 The commission o.: the League of Nations this morning considered many amendments to and added two new articles to the draft, according to an official announcement tonight Sever al of the amendments were referred to drafting committee.
 As result of today's meeting of the peace conference commission on the society of nations doubts were ex- pressed for the first time that the project for tlre organization Of tine so- ciety would be completed before Pres ident Wilson,. s departure for the Unit ed States, February 16
 Questions have arisen within the commission of such nature that they may prolong the discussions. The ses- sion of the commission today lasted until 3:35 this afternoon. It is said that among other subjects considered was the project for an international intermediary force urged by Leon Bourgeois of the French delegation. He cOntended that such force should be stationed and also that it should be stationed in France, as France is the strategic center of Europe and the nation most immediately threat ened.
 Several new amendments were pre- sented today and the commission ad- journed for the day, during which time the committee will attempt to have the draft perfected There is a wide difference of views regarding some of these new proposals.

CLOCK MISBEHAVES

The big clock at the American
National Bank played a much be-
lated April fool trick on the street
crowds who hurried past Government
and Palafox yesterday.
"A husband was served with cold
lunch because the hands pointed TO
IL when other clocks in the city were
Ginning the noon hour A COB
missed an enga cement with his best
girl because the clocl. plainly falsi-
fled, and a small boy missed an out
going boat 10 the gulf beach, all be-
cause the timepiece refused to be-
have.
First the clock refused to go. Then
it covered up it's face. Where a day
ago the minutes and hours were re-
corded a great blank met the gaze
of the passerby.
The mystery of the clocks behav-
Tor was explained last night by
Cashier c. w. Lamar. 1t is connected
with a control in the interior of the
bank. The control got out of gear.
and because so many people were
tricked into late engagements it was
decided to cover up the face until
a mechanic could set the works going
right again.

J. ]. Sims is the first Pensacols

Sims begged Judge Jones of the

In vain the judge explained that de-
tention in the county jail would mean
much lighter sentence. He was in

he would take his chances. as he
