CONFERENCE Of
ALLIED PREM|ERS
NPAR|S DELAYED

Continued From First PaRe.I
French government communicated to
the entente powers some days & a
complete plan Of work, amounting to a
suggestion Of a co-ordinated program.
AS regards questions concerning
enemy countries, 1t is understood those
concerning Germany will be taken up
and finally those relative to Bulgaria
and Turkey, These details probably
will not be decided upon until the
league Of nations part of the program
has been exhausted, however.
1t Is not expected the premier's con-
ference will deal with more than the
most general principles of the peace
settlement. In fact, 1t now seems
doubtful If more than a broad, general
agreement will be reached before Presi-
dent Wilson returns to America in Feb
ruary. Out Of the coming conferences
it is expected a more or less tentative
program will be adopted which will
divide the work of the peace congress
into successive steps. The actual
making of peace with the central pow
ers may be the last of these steps.
The procedure now being discussed
is, roughly, as follows:
First, a general agreement between
the United States and the entente bel
ligerentS for the creation OF a league
Of nations, or similar machinery, to en-

Fourth, the conclusion Of peace
treaties with the central powers.

The peace treaties may be left to the
last because none Of the agreements
can bind the central powers unless,
in the meantime. they have established
governments which satisfy the peace
Congress as to their stability and pur-
nose of carving out the treaties made.

The forests of the battle areas
in France and Belgium have been
destroyed. In England about 45O,-
600 acres of forest were cut down

Forestry association has provided a
fund for helping England reforest
this area and is calling upon the
people Of this country to aid in re-
foresting France, Belgium and Italy.
Those countries, the American For
estry association pointed out, should
be great lesson to the United
States, The American need Of for
est conservation is great and the fu-
ture welfare of many industries de-
pends on it.
This is emphasized by a report
just received from ]. e. Barton,
state commissioner OF geology and
forestry of Kentucky, who declared
that the coal industry of that state
depends to a large extent ON the
supply of timber which it can OBJ
tain from conveniently located for
ests. If the mining of coal in Ken
lucky is to be carried on success
fully and cheaply there must be pro
lection of the forests against fire
and also reforestation, as it requires
three acres Of timber for every acre
of coal that is mined, Barton point
ed out.
1t has been estimated. he said,
that the coal supply of eastern Ken
lucky will last rs to 100 years, and
the industry requires an even-aged
stand of trees of pole size, such as
can. be grown ordinarily in from 80
to so years. Protection is the vital
element in reforestation, he assert
ed, an dthere cannot be regenration
of tn forest growth unless adequate
protection is given against fire and

SAVE MONEY ON

From Foochow, China, comes this
letter from r. 4. Gardner, Foochow
College: "Neolin Solcs have solved the
shoe problem for me. Other soles wore
out quickly on the rocky roads here,
and | had no end Of trouble with
them, )" he writes.
Where other soles fail, Ne5lin Soles
always stand the test of hard wear and
rough usage. This fact points the way
to economy. Buy Ne5lin-soled shoes
for the whole family, and so save shoe
money. And have Ne0lin Soles put on
your old shoes, too.
These durable, flexible, and water
proof soles are scientifically made by
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co,

Heels, guaranteed to outwear all other

Washington, May 1O.-ln consld.
ering the many possibilities of 1920,
prompt Washington politicians are
paying considerable attention to a
question being heard moro and moro
frequently as the weeks go by. 1t
is this, WIN there be third party
in 1920?
Loud cries of mo- accompanied
by jeers, scoffing and other profes-
sional manifestations Of ridicue
and disbelief Immediately greet the
questioner who ask democratic or
republican party leaders the ques-
tion. They point airily to the in
cident Of the Bull Moose party as
though that closed the argument.
Signs are multiplying, however,
that out where the voters grow
and vote-there is considerable dis
satisfaction with beth of the existing
political parties which some observs
ers think might crystalize under GER
tain circumstances in the formation
of a new and very powerful party
by the time 1920 arrives
Members of Congress who have
recently travelled thousands of
miles through many states report,
that they have found third party
sentiment in a number of places.
One senator, for instance, was met
in two widely separated western
town by delegations formed for the
specific purpose of urging him to
take the lead in formation of an
American party"
These delegations were made up
of men of both parties, The reasons
they gave for wanting a third party
were:
They are opposed to the dem
ocratic policy of keeping the United
States permanently mixed up in Eu-
ropean affairs.
2. They charge the democratic
party with gross mismanagement OF
public affairs, particularly with re-
spect to railroads, telephones and
telegraph and finances.

 The city council ordered that the connection be severed and the firemen refuse to do so. The citizens support the council in it's stand that the firemen, as public officials upon whom the public depend for protection, have no right to organize affiliate with organization which would have the right to order them out on strike.
 Mayor Sweet stated this afternoon that the firemen will be cut off the city payroll today It is expected that the fire stations will be deserted tonight. The local post of the American Legion fused to take the firemens places.

MONARCHY WILL
 BE INSTITUTED
 BY HUNCARIANS
ROYALISTS AND RE- PUBLICANS REPORTED TO HAVE AGREED ON EVENTUAL RESTORATION OF HAPSBURG DYNASTY.

BERLIN. Nov. 4-(P)-Seemingl authentic reports received here today say that an agreement has been reach ed in Budapest for the eventual re- storation of the Hapsburg monarchy in Hungary. The republicans and monarchists in Hungary are said to have effected compromise whereby t'ranZ, the eldest son of former En- porer Charles, of Austria Hungary, will eventually come to the throne of Hungary.
 It is also stated that provission has been made to prevent Charles from being replaced, by requiring him to formally renounce all rights to the throne. The Hungarian constitution under which Franz will govern, it is
 aid, will be patterned after that of England.
 It is the general opinion here that such government would be stable and responsible. There is some doubt, however, as to the willingness of the allies to see member of the .Hapsburg family as head of the Hun ..arian government.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 5.-(P) It is understood here that the Mex ican government will refuse to refund the ransom money paid Mexican bandits for the release of American consular agent Wm. Jenkins who was recently kidnapped from Puebla, Mex
 co. The money for his release was provided by his friends in Puebla and with the understanding that the Car fanza government would make im- mediate refund. The state depart mcnt is making inquiries as to the in tentions of the Mexican government in the matter.
