 Heating Apparatus.

New York, Dec. 3.--New York $ subway and elevated riding millions began this morning to carry their own heat with them as a coal conservation measure. Acting under orders of PublIc Service COmmiSsi Oner Nixon the subway and elevated managements d abandoned for the rush hour periods their winter practice of heating trains, the explanation being given that when trains were crowded the passengers throw off enough bodily heat to keep each other warm
 The eXpedient was made effective tor two weeks between the hours of 6:30 and 9:30 q. m. and 43O and ':30 D. m. daily. Officials of the companies said it meant a saving of approximately 1 900 tons Of coal a day. or 20 per cent. of the entire amount used by the line. A suggestion that nOn-rush hour trains also could be kept crowded and hence warm without the use of coal by curtailing the sched- ule was oVer-rUled by Mr. Nixon.
 Beginning tonight it was announced the Great White Way in the theatrical district will go into q partial eclipse Big electric signs will be operated only between the hours of 7:3O and S:30 p. m.

Paris, Dec. 5.--The supreme council in agreement with the Jugo- Slav dele gation, has conceded certain modifica- tions in the peace terms with Austria, affecting Jugo-Slavia, notably the ad- vancing of the date for payments to the JugO-Slav state on separations due it. These notifications have been embodied in a declaration to be signed by the principal allied and assO ciated powers and by JugO-SlaVla.
 This will serve to meet the objec tions of UgO-Slavia to the Austrian peace terms in sufficient measure, it is stated, to enable her delegates to sign the St. Ger1nain pact, the treaty pro- viding for the protection of racial mi norities and the financial anneXes to the peace treaty, and will also assure the signing of the Bulgarian treaty by Jugo-Slavia.
