CENSOR D|sAPPROvES
Paris Editions Of U. S. Papers
Shorn of Comment on Pos
sible Removal of Parleys.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE French censor
showed his disapproval of the report
that the peace conference might be re-
moved from Paris by deleting COM
ment from the Paris editions of two
American newspapers.
The Paris edition Of the New York
Herald appeared this morning with a
big double column white space on the
first page. A column article in the
Paris edition of the Chicago Tribune
was also deleted, save for two para
graphs relating to the league of ma
lions.
Foreign Secretary Balfour, replying
to correspondents questions regarding
the alleged threat to move the peace
conference. said 1t was conceivable that
the press of a large city, by keeping
up certain propaganda, might create
an unhappy atmosphere that would in
terfere with the work Of the conference
and render its removal to a neutral
country desirable. But IL such situ-
alton were created. he said. he thought
1t could be adjusted.

NOT CANDIDATE FOR
MAYOR SAYS DAVIS
Councilman Will Stand for Re-
election as Head of Public
Safety Department.

Councilman John A. Davis, commits
sioner of public safety. Is the first city
candidate to announce that he again
aspires to reelection and emphatically
declares that he will not run for the
office Of mayor of Boise, which his
friends have urged him to do. Rumors
have been circulated that Mr.. Davis
would be candidate for the office of
chief executive of the city. Asked
concerning this report, he said:
There is nothing in the rumor at
all. At this time. rumors are as thick
as fleas on a dog in August. l do
not care to be mayor and have no am.
billions in that direction. l am not I'M
appreciative Of the honor or the kind
offer of support Of my friends, but for
many reasons I would prefer remain
ing in the position I now occupy.
First, believe l can do more good
serving in that capacity, and l also
believe more people would prefer to
have me there. as my past experience
as head of public safety would be of
riuch benefit in the future; besides, l
take special pride in the fire depart
ment the largest department in the
city.
when I was first elected and as
signed t. public safety, the equipment
was horse drawn; but with the assist
ance of the other members Of the coun-
ell, it has been completely motorized
This, in my opinion, doubles it's eff
cheney. You may say If you wish,
VIII not be candidate for mayor, but
will stand for reelection in my present
position, and ia the future, as in the
past, will work for a bigger better

thanks fer the assistance and splendid
