One of First Acts on Return viii
Be to Address Congress on
Peace Negotiations.
DELAY DISAPPOINTING
sIoWness In Starting Surprising to
v. S. DeIegates-Agreement of
Allies on Chief Points in Six
Weeks Probable.

Paris. Jan. 11.-Conferences taking
place between the Americans, British
and French probably will develop just
how much progress may be expected
before President Wilson goes home in
February. 1t is settled that when he
reaches America n of his first acts
will be to address congress and re-
port on what has been accomplished.
Some trained diplomats among the
Americans here are agreed that the
most Mr.. Wilson can hope to report
probably will be a general undertake
ing OF the widest sort upon a set Of
principles which must be left to be
applied by the peace congress.
Delegations Still Unorganized.
Each Of the bodies of peace COM
missioners will necessarily go through
an. organization process. This work
has taken the Americans a month and
ever now they are only partly ready.
The French, of course, have their or
ganization on the spot.
The British have brought over from
England a highly developed machine
ready to function. These essential
preliminaries will not necessarily de.
lay. the informal conversations but
they will delay the working Of group"
plan conferences by which the princi-
pal ~belligerents expect to thresh
out points which interest neutrals,
acknowledgements or minor nations en-
gagged in the war and reduce their re-
suits TO memoranda which are to go
to the peace congress for inclusion in
the final settlement.
Delay Disappoints Wilson.
President Wilson's feeling on com.
ing to Europe as early as he did was
that all the Entente governments had
made their preparations TO get down
to talking peace. II Is not an over
abatement Of the case to say that Mr..
Wilson and the American commission
ers have been disappointed In meeting
with delays.
Up to the present all the progress
that has been made has been In
President Wilson's conferences with
French, British and Italian statesmen.
The president for HIS part is said to
have felt that 1t was not prudent to
disclose what wen ON. although he
intends that the proceedings shall go
on In the way Of open diplomacy when
he feels It is safe to lift the curtain.

CONSIDERS rrALY's CLAIMS
Reported President Wilson VIII Not
Support All.

Paris, Jan. 1f.-President Wilson, 1t
IL said. has virtually made up his
mind how far he will support Italy's
claims at the peace table and informed
Premier Orlando of his decision. but
It is probable his ideas will not DO

delegates have been advised OF them.
II is asserted by persons close to
the president that he favors only par
tial endorsement of Italy's ambitions.

THE HOUSE FLY AS \ DISEASE
CARRIER

The common house fly because of
its filthy habits and ceaseless act
ivities is the worst pest that man
has TO endure. Every year thou
sands OF people die from diseases
carried by the fly. They breed in
filth. feed on il and live in IL, and
everything they lay their hairy lit
tie legs on they contaminate. I'm
der the microscope hundreds of
germs have been seen on the legs
of a single fly.
The house fly is found in nearly
all parts Of the world where there is
human habitation. The eggs are de
posted in patches in manure piles.

ter. decayed vegetables. human ex-
cretaor in any kind Of organic filth.
Each female is capable Of LAYING
100 eggs or more. Ii takes eight 10
10 days from the time the egg is
laid for the insec TO be fully de-
veloped. Among the diseases that
they transmit is typhoid fever,
diarrhoea, %dysentry, tuberculosis.
anthrax and cholera
In order 10 get rid of this pest We
must do away with its breeding
place. Garbage must be kept in
covered containers. which should be
kept clean and frequently emptied
privies must be kept screened. and
