from a room beyond. Miss Amanda
and Uncle Joe rushed in.
Sleepily, her face flushed, rubbing
her blue eyes wide open, Carolyn May
sat up in bed.
"Oh, Uncle Joe! Oh, Miss Amanda !"
she said. "I-I was just dreaming my
own papa and mamma had come home
and found me here"
"My dear! My deari" sobbed Aman-

Uncle Joe, blowing his nose suspi-

PEACE FARLEY NEAR SPLIT?
if United States Terms Are
Rejected.

Paris, April 4.-President Wilson is
expected to define Americas stand on
the peace conference within the next
few days, possibly before the week is
over.
Acceptance of that stand by the
other powers will mean that the final
formation of a treaty of peace is pos,
sible; rejection, it is feared, may re-
suit in the dissolution of the peace
conference.

pared to add TO It's acreage and It's
field as fast as the American people de-
mand bananas, and that II will be glao
to continue In the business as long ~
a reasonable return on the capital IN
vested can be expected.
The Fruit Company has had to stand
some heavy losses Of late years be-
cause OF the prevalence OF the strange
banana disease which has destroyed
many Of its plantations. This disease
comes from n sort Of fungus, which at
tacks the roots OF the banana plant
and causesh to rot. All efforts to cope
with this 'malady so far have failed.
The only practical remedy has been to
burn the plants and abandon the field.
The company has planted Its abandoned
plantations In cscao, balsa and other
pf oducts, and plans in this way to mini
mice the losses and to utilize the capi-
tai invested in clearing the land.
Charges Made BY Critics.
Critics Of the Fruit Company make
three allegations against IL. They say
that when Independent concerns begin
to ship bananas to the United States the
Fruit Company Immediately will dump
large quantities of bananas on the mar
ket at low price in order to drive them
out of the market. They also say that
the sea rather than sell them at q price
which It regards as too low. 1t IL also
alleged that the company's formidable
legal staff will put obstacles In the way
OF obtaining concessions by rival con-
Germs in the countries in which the
Fruit Company has obtained strong po-
litical influence at present.
The SUN correspondent does not Alto
gether agree with these criticisms. Mu-
inequalities in the United States have
the power to tx prices in fruit markets,
and to prevent the maintenance of q
monopoly. II they should SO desire.
Practices evidently intended to kill
trade rivals may be governmentally reg
ulated now, and ought to be. As a mat
ter OF fact, the Fruit Company officials
state that the company does not object
to competition. but Is DESTROYS of en-
coutaging the consumption of bananas.
since the creation of a large and stable
market enables 1t to profit by the In
creased demand better than any rival
concern could. because of its thorough
going organization.
As to the dumping of fruit when the
mcrket Is too low for 1t to ship at a
Profit the Fruit Company officials say
that they always have regretted this
necessity and the process has been dis
continued. They expect now to endeavor
10 develop certain by-products from sur
plus bananas when the market is too
low. such a. denatured alcohol. sugar,
green banana flour, &C.
With reference to the third point, the
officials say that their maintenance Of
strong local stan has been made alb
solutely necessary because OF political
conditions in the countries in which IL
operates. Its LOCAL stan Is not intended
to be used against possible competitors
but to prevent political extortion and
the many other tricks which are some
times attempted in countries where revo-
lutions are 30 frequent and easy.

The new enterprise will probably be
