Requests Entente Governments
TO Arrange for Money.

Paris, Jan. 16.-The supreme coun-
Gil OF supply and relief which has been
engaged for the last three days in con-
sidering the situation of the liberated
countries stretching from Poland and
Armenia has concluded that the mini
mum sum necessary to feed these peo-
pies until next summer is $40O,OOO,000.
The council has asked the treasury
departments of the associated govern
ments to determine how the money
can be provided. The allied govern
ments in Europe, it is said, have
agreed to undertake their full re-
sponsibility in the matter.
The bulk of the foodstuffs must
come from the United States, and
while the allied governments can pay
for transportation and can furnish
clothing and other services, the pay
ments made in the United States will
greatly exceed the s100,000.000 which
President Wilson has asked congress
to appropriate.

YOU MEN WHO PAY THE
FAMILY SHOE BILLS

Tramping I8 miles day, Mr.. H. NJ.
Foreman, a mail carrier of Allentown,
Pa, found that shoes with ordinary
soles last about one month. But he
says a pair of Neoiin-soled shoes gave
him more than nine months of service,
in which time he walked over 1000
miles
His experience shows how you may
save shoe money by providing your
family With Neolin-soled shoes. which
give extra wear where other shoes wear
out quickest.
You can get Neolin-soled shoes in
any type of shoe you want. Prices
are about the same as for shoes that
give only ordinary wear, sometimes
they are even less. If your dealer
hasn't the style you want. he can get
it for you quickly Remember, Neolin
Soles are created by science to be what
soles should be. They are available

KEEPING IT QUIET
No One Knows of Action at One
Session of Conference.
When 1t Was Decided To Hold
Back Some Talk.

Paris, Jan. 16.-No one outside. the
peace conference knows anything
about the discussion which preceded
the decision to keep the proceedings
information diyulged TO official state
ments.
This decision will preclude the
American delegates, even Mr.. Wilson
himself, from discussing the formal
announcements that are issued. 1t
will likewise stop the practice of Pre-
mier Lloyd George of Great Britain
discussing affairs with British CORE
spondents for the purpose of guiding
them in forming public opinion in
England.
1t has been believed here by per-
sons close to President Wilson that he
would contend for open sessions, as
same way is the opinion generally ex-
pressed here.
Curlously enough the question of
whether deliberations were to be open
or secret had reached a stage before
today's decision where some authori-
tative statement on the subject was
sought. Just before today's meeting
Secretary of State Robert Lansing au-
thorized the following as his view:
The American Policy.
'The American policy is that full
est publicity consistent with the rapid
and satisfactory discharge of impor-
tant business which must come before
the peace congress should be accord
ed. 1t is possible that the session
should be open when business is adj
yanced to a point where 1t can be re-
garded as ready for final action, 1t
may be, however, that in the earlier
stage, when subjects are being dis
cussed between groups or in commit
tees or in meetings of all the dele
gates with a purpose of reaching
agreements on controversial phases it
would be inadvisable to conduct these
discussions openly. There might new
er be an agreement otherwise,
THAT would not be secret diplomacy
in any sense, however, for no agree
ment so arranged could be effective
until approved by all the delegates in
open session."
Disclosure Is Wrong.
The complaints which the British
correspondents have made to Mr..
Lloyd George and which the Ameri-
cans have submitted to Mr.. Wilson
with public interest to disclose certain
phases of controversial Questions
while they are being discussed but Dro-
test against the "gentleman's agree
ment' which forbids any one of the
delegates from giving any informa-
ton whatever, outside of the official
statement on which public opinion
may be formed and guided.
OFFICIAL circles in Paris are not dis
cussing peace nor terms. Attention
is occupied with the question wheth-
ef there will be a reconsideration of
the action of today
