Necessity for Peace Settle
ment Most Intense, Civil
izatiOn Is In Peril.
JoHn EpwIN NEvIn

tsTAFF CORRESPONDENT l. N. sERvIcEI
PARIS, Mach 20.-The worlds
problems are now resolved in a
race between the forces of anarchy
and those of law and order. The
necessity for a settlement is most
intense. Unless the first treaty of
peace is completed within a month
the result will certainly be most
serious to civilization.
This statement, made by one OF
the biggest factors at the peace
conference. shows just exactly
what insiders feel concerning the
need for haste for getting some
thing accomplished which will per-
NIT the worlds affairs to be divert
ed into normal channels.
WILSON TAXING NO REST.
II also explains why President Will
son is taking no time for rest nor al
most imperative outdoor exercise. but is
devoung all Of his wakeful hours TO
speeding UP the peace conference ma
chinery.
President Wilson with Premier Lloyd
George and Premier Clemeanceau are
deciding all matters The other dele
gates are no longer real factors here.
President Wilson and Premier Lloyd
George are In complete accord Premier
Clemenceau has differed on some mat
ters but the differences were more on
details than on principles.
IT Is THE FIRST TREATY"
There is no longer any talk here Of s
preliminary treat-" The document
now under consideration has been Off
cially named THE first treaty" The
name describes it exactly
This dodAment, when submitted for
signatures. Nill contain all of the i'm
portant problems which can be settled
by the conference. Also. II will refer
many ordinarily great problems to a
later day settlement under the league
Of nations
The peace commissioners pointed out
today that the first treaty must more or
less include every possible final agree
ment. This was the compelling infiu-
ence behind President Wilson's demand
that the league of nations constitution
be made a part of all treaties.
Bringing the league of nations into
being gives opportunity TO submit TO IL
new detailed territorial alignments and
limitations.
Furthermore It allows the completion
of the mandatory system for the former
German colonies and other such prob
lens. tightening the actual burden Of
the peace Conference
The first treaty VIII remain in com
piete force until the league of nations
allows the re-drafting OF later one
probably in May
What difference does It make how
long the first treaty is to remain effec-
tive-a month. a year. or even longer
so long as it accomplishes its Objects"
said British delegat today.

Because Father Had No
Money in His Possession.

Mabel Lewis had not heard about
Aubury's confession but told a straight
story, drawn from her unsuspectingly.
confirming many Of the things that Den

fession. She declared that she was not
interested in Denison any more and did
not particularly care what became Of
him. She said. hoewver, that her father
and Aubury were good friends so far as
she knew and that she didn't believe that
he had anything at al to do with her
fathers death.
When told about the statement that
her father gave him s55 to hit him over
The head and dump him into the canal
she made the same reply that has found
utterance before and which all along
has thrown discredit on the confession.
namely. that her father did not have SIS
cents in his possession. let alone s55.
She believes that her father committed
suicide. She said that he had threat
ened to kill himself and that she and her
mother had kept his razor hid on that
account. When he was missing. they
looked for the razor and found 1t gone
They feared then that he had 1t on his
mind 70 kill himself.
Judge Cohen Will appoint an insanity

young man thorough examination. Fol-
lowing the commissions decision. the
preliminary examination on the charge
OF murder will be taken UP in court to-

WARD IS
SETTING SWIFT PACE

The Jefferson Ward division Of the
Keep klean klub is setting a pace
for ell other sections OF the city in the
business Of bringing Richmond up
TO the state when 1t can be fitly de-
scribed as a "Spotless Town"
One hundred and nifty blocks in this
division are said to be fully organic
ed and efficiently at work in keeping
al trash, refuse and garbage off the
streets and alleys and also in keeping
the homes In sanitary condition.
The organization, which was father
ed by John X. Branch, had grown by
leaps and bounds and the time Is ap-
preaching when it's work will be easily
discernible to the most casual observ-
er. Director of Public Welfare Levy
has reiterated his complete sympathy
with the ideals of the organization
and is doing everything in his power
to coordinate the forces of his de-
partment with the workers of the X
X. K.
The X. X. K. will have a record to
maintain in the remarkably low death
rate set by the city in the past three
months, all three OF which fell below
200. This indicates that Richmond is
forging to the front rank of healthy
cities of the United States and the eff
forts of the X. X. X. will do much
to keep it there.
