Some Statement This
Evening.

fRy Asaocia.ed pressl

LONDON, Jan. 16.-Morning news,
papers give much prominence to Paris
dispatches referring to the decision
that the proceedings Of the peace con
ference are to be secret, and contrast
it with the official statement that
there would be no censorship which
was issued yesterday. They point out
that it furnishes an unexplainable
puzzle.
None OF the papers comment editor
tally. but the most Of them express sur.
prise and disapproval by big head
lines and brief Introductory sentences.
Protests are made that the regulations.
| II maintained, will keep the public
completely in the dark as to some OF
the important features OF the negotia-
tons.

PARIS, Jan. 16. - (By Associated
Press.) The Supreme Council Of the
five powers resumed its session at
1890 o'clock today. There were pres
emit for France Premier Clemenceau
and Foreign Minister Pichon, for the
United States President Wilson and
Secretary of State Lansing, for Great
Britain Premier Lloyd George and
Foreign Secretary Balfour, for Italy,
Foreign Minister Sonnino, and for
Japan viscount Chinda and Baron

vittorio Orlando, the Italian pre-
mier, was the only absentee. He Is
still detained in Rome. President
Wilson arrived at the meeting place
accompanied by Mrs. Wilson. The
impression prevailed today that fol.
lowing the protests that have arisen
against the decision OF the council re-
stricting all news Of ts session to for
NAL communications some explana-
tons or statement on the subject might
appear in tonight's communique to the
effect that the restrictions will apply
only to the actual proceedings Of the
current day and not to any comments
by the delegates on the questions be-
fore the council.

UNITED Press Service)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Toady,
in the Senate, Senator Lodge replied
to President Wilson's charge at Port
land, Oregon, in the presidential ad-
dress at the Webfoot metropolis, that
the Massachusetts senator is incon.
sistent in his present opposition to the
League of Nations. "The mere fact
that man changes his mind" sail
Mr.. Lodge, "has no bearing upon the
merits of the case. If we are look
ing for Inconsistencies they can be
found in the greatest of men,"
To show that the President ha,
been inconsistent himself the senate
then quoted from one of the Presi
dents pre-war speeches in which MI
Wilson urged American neutrality
and then few months later went be
fore Congress and asked a declara
tion of war, in which the America,
nation had participated with firm
determination and persistence.

A NOTABLE VISITOR

Nogales is visited at this time by
Mr.. w. D. johnson, from Akron, Ohio,
who is special representative for the
Firestone Tire & Rubber Company,
who is visiting the line city on busi-
ness for the corporation he repre-
sents, and will be here several days.
Mr.. johnson has a peculiar inter-
est in Nogales, as his wife is a native
of the line city, her father being that
Paul Crawford who was roadmaster
On the Sonora Railway in construc-
ton days; and in whose honor one of
the principal residence streets of the
city was named. Mr.. Crawford was
also one of the earliest justices of the
peace in Nogales precinct. Those
who were here in early days recall
the family.
1t will be recalled that Mrs. Craw-
ford, who was widowed, married Mr..
George Beckwith, who owned at that
time the Harrison Tanch on the river
about seven miles from Nogales. Mr..
and Mrs. Beckwith reside now in Pale
Alto, California.

War.
Omitted Press Service)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The
State Department is in receipt of ad.
vices from Peking to the effect that
the Chinese government has issued a
mandate dated September Is, declar-.
ing that China is at peace with Ger
many, and cancelling the declaration
of war made against that nation.
The Chinese delegation at Versail-
les refused to sign the treaty; and the
mandate now issued is to restore the
conditions existing between the two
nations before hostilities were de-.
clared. AS China had no actual con-
tact with Germany in the war, and
there were no losses the questions
reparation do not exist, and China
can get out of the war attitude in the
simple way adopted, where none of
the other nations can do so.
