ENJOYS
AWAIT WORK
President Rests Before Gather
ing--PIan for Peace En-
bracing World
By A ssocidted Press.

~ A SSocldfed PTcSe-
PARIS, Jan. S-Informal confer
ences with European envoys to the
Peace Congress will begin on Thurs
day. These conferences will probably
be President Wilson's only official ac-
tivities prior to the beginning of the
Peace Congress. as it is necessary for
him to get from Brest after a round
of speeches. After the formal con-
ference. he will play a little golf il
the weather is good but will deny him
sef to all callers and will put all other
business to a minimum.
AS the conference approaches tho
stage where formal agreements which
will have an important bearing on
final settlements. will be reached.
there seems to be excellent authority
for saying that plans for settlement
of the most important questionable
league of nations, the freedom of the
seas and disarm- -ment-are still very
indefinite.
II is true that several propositions
are being put forward for the adjust
ment of these matters. but there is
nothing having the color of official
sanction. II. Mr.. Wilson has drawn
up any specific plans, he has not told
them to anybody and 1t is known that
he is closely studying vasious sugges-
tions that are advanced by others.
The American commission has been
gathering material constantly and
this is to be ready in memorandum
form for the President when he goes
to the coming conferences. The ma
terial obtained has so far been from
British and italian statesmen and Is
very satisfactory, developing no diff
q 4. i N,... \
1t has been noted that Mr.. Wilson, in
all his speeches, has emphasized the
fact that there are agreements as to
main points.
Those near the President have been
eager to send to America some de-
tailed statement OF what has been ac-
complishd since his coming TO Europe
but IT has been explained that nego-
tiations at present are of such char
acter that IL would be unwise 10 dis
cuss matters still I'm the state of for
nation.

President Takes Rest.

PARIS, Jan. S:-President Wilson
was somewhat exhausted today by
reason OF the continuous round of re-
ceptions and banquets he has attend
ed, the speeches he has made and the
travelling he has done. He expects to
rest absolutely for two days. I'm prep
aration for the conferences which will
begin at the end OF the week.
The return TO Paris OF President
Wilson. the arrival of Lord Robert
Cecil, the special delegate of the
British government on the League Of
Nations, and the presence here Of
Leon Bourgeois. the French represen-
tative on the same subject, marked
the Inauguration OF exchanges on the
definite terms by which the league is
TO be constituted.
Already considerable progress has
been made on the various tentative
put forward. but in the re-
cent absence OF the President these
have not taken definite form, as IL is
that he personally will
take a leading part in the final for
mutation OF the plan. Meanwhile,
however, the various governments
chiefly interested are presenting out
lines in quite definite form.

Market Bureau Finds Ample Supply
Throughout State

Harrisburg, July 14.-The Bureau of
Markets of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture sends out the fol
lowing forecast regarding the supplies
of nearby fruits and vegetables for the
present week
''The war is over. but the need for con
servation of nearby vegetables and fruits
still exists. Housewives should go to
market and buv the products that are
in season. This week. virtually all
markets will be well supplied with green
and wax beans, beets, onions, cabbage,
peas, lettuce and radishes.
Locally grown sweet corn, cauliflower
end tomatoes still are scarce. Small
quantities of new celery and turnips
are being dug in some sections of south
eastern Pennsylvania.
Harvest time is here and has brought
the first early apples for cooking. Black
berries and huckleberries are ripening
everywhere except in the northern part
OF the state. Reports show, however,
that some damage has been done to the
berry crops by the recent hot wave.
This is about the last opportunity to
make currant, gooseberry and raspberry
Jelly. But few cherries are to be found
now, except in the northern part of the
state.
