Paris. The preliminary peace
treaty will be ready by Easter and the
Germans Will be asked to come and
sign 1t ut the end of April or the be-
ginning of May, Premier Lloyd George
of Great Britain declared in an inter
view with Stephane Lauzanne, editor
of the Matin. In answer to II remark
by Nj. LauZanne that what troubled
public opinion was not so much the
delay as the secrecy in which the
peace negotiations were wrapped and
the fear that there was some diver
gence of opinion. the British premier
said:
II affirm absolutely that there is no
divergence among the negotlators.
They are often confronted with tech
nical difficulties which can only be
settled after close study.
Take the question of reparations.
In substance the allies have one com
mon principle, which l once set forth
thus: Germany must pay up to the
last farthing of her power.
But is it sufficient to draw up
bill and hand 1t to the enemy? Must
we not require Suhrhntees anu must
we not study the terms, methods and
forms of delayed payments? Must we
not be able to say to our adversary
when he pleads inadequacy of re-
sources: Yes, you can go as far as
| that and you must do 1t and you must
do that
'In IA word, shall we simply present
a bill or collect all the money pos
sible? Well, that is where the work
comes in, slow and difficult work,
complicated by the fact that technical
experts of the highest capabilities and
great experience are not in agreement
among themselves either as to the
method of liquidation or as to the as
sets to be realized.
mo, there is no divergence among
, the negotiators-but, alas there are
| inevitable ones among the experts,
often among those from the same
| country. Who is to decide between
| them If not the negotiators, and do
you think it can always be done
quickly?"

IT'S EASY TO PEEL OFF
YOUR TAN OR FRECkLES

This is what you should do to
shed spoiled complexion: Spread
evenly over the face, covering every
inch of skin, thin layer Of ordinary
mercolized wax. Let this stay on
over night; wash it off next morning.
Repeat daily until your complexion
is as clear. soft and beautiful as a
young girls. This result is newt
able, no matter how soiled or dis
colored the complexion. The wax
literally peels off the filmy surface
skin, exposing the lovely skin be-
meath. The process is entirely harm
less, so little Of the old skin coming
off at a time.
Mercolized wax is obtainable at
any drug store; one ounce usually
suffices. It's veritable wonder

blotchy. pimpled or freckled skin.

Just how Daley fell from grace is
told in the Fort Madison Democrat:
Exit an ancient tradition; and

negro has been jailed for stealing
watermelons, and jailed for ten days.

morning when he was released from
the jail for the first time in many
days to manicure" the Jail yard and
rid the premises OF some distasteful
weeds.

when he was found in the station at
Viele after having culled succulent
melon from the patch of prominent

given ten days in the temple Of re-

continued.
