ANXIOUS DAY At
PEACE CONFERENCE
9th Treaties Are Now in the Bal
ance.-Prevailing View is Hope
ful-aiany Private Confer

Allies Intact.

Allies lntdSt.
Paris. June 4.-This has been an
ahxious day throughout peace con-
renee circles, with both the Ger
an and Austrian treaties in the
klance, and every effort is being
Iade towards early and united ac-
bn.
The council of four considered the
l,strian treaty in the morning to
mplete the military and reparations
rms. which were omitted when the
cument was delivered Monday.
Later the council turned to the
Erman counter proposals and called
xperts.
Many private conferences also
ing on, including one between Col.
buse and the American delegation
d A. ]. Balfour, British foreign
tretary, all seeking to clarity the
uation and determine the course OF
ton.
The prevailing view of those taking
rt was hopeful of early and salts
ttory results. The admitted that
conditions were difficult and that
differences were rather sharply
hwn, but insisted that there was
thing like an impasse or anything
featening an agreement.
indications were that certain gen.
u results are already beginning to
ke form. The German counter
bposals as a whole undoubtedly will
rejected, but number of sugges-
ns may be embodied in the allied
ATTY, not with any purpose of modi-
ng or softening the document, but
the purpose of making it work
e and achieving the supreme end
getting it signed and restoring
ice.
Some Results Come.
Certain concrete results also ap-
kr to be taking form, namely, the
Ing of reparations at definite
around one hundred billion
rks, instead of giving the commits
indefinite authority to access
Fond that sum; reducing the per-
of occupation of the Western
ntier from Is to 10 years; read
tment of the Slesia terms, at
cvh Germany was greatly aroused
that the population may have self
ermination, probably through a
biscite. .-..
With respect to the league Of ma
rs. the British and American view
first inclined toward admitting
many on the ground that it would
d her to keep peace. However,
nee would not consider any asso-
ion with Germany. So it is un-
stood that President Wilson has
dually come to M. Clemencaus's
" of keenping Germany outside
league.
The discussion of the councils of
is understood to be turning
efly to these topics, although a
nber of others also are receiving
ention. M. Clemencau's view
N the first has been strongly a.
hst any notifications beyond
hge of phraseology, whereas, the
tish Prime Minister, Mr.. Lloyd
|rge, is believed to incline toward
moderate British view that the
n end is to get the treaty signed
restore calm to the industrial and
br world.
resident Wilson's view, as stated
friends, has been first to keep
allies intact, and second to make
&c speedily. The president also
OF disposed to make notifications
ch would soften the peace but is
ined to make changes in the in
st of fairness and the better
king of the terms.

DEMOCRATS PREPARE
REPORT TO Defend
FOOD SALE ACTION
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. July 26-With their
request for rehearing blocked by the
Republicans, Democratic members OF
the house war investigating commit
tee today were preparing a minority
report on the recent inquiry into the
delay by the war department in dis
posing of its large surplus Of army
food stuffs. In making their request
for a reopening of the hearing at
meeting Of the committee late yester-
day the Democrats stated they ex-
pected to disprove statements contain
ed in the report adopted by the Re-
publicans Thursday in which the war
department was censured for its fail
ure sooner to announce the food sur
plus and to arrange for its disposal.
After the request was denied the
Democrats decided to submit a mino-
rity report challenging statements OF
the Republicans.
The majority reports asked the war
department to adopt a policy OF dis
posing of the food so that 1.-The people
LOT the United States could buy" but
on suggestion of the Democrats that
this would result in much of the food
lstuffs falling into the hands of specu-
lators the Republicans amended their
resolution SO as to request that the
sales be made directly to the con-
lsumers by the government.
The committee meeting yesterday
was in executive session but it later
was said the Democrats submitted a
Hist of ar department officials, includ-
ling Secretary Baker, whom they de-
sired to be heard. Statements of
these witnesses will be contained in
the minority report in which Secre-
ltary Baker will be quoted as denying
that he withheld the food from the
domestic market Ito protect the in
terests from which the products had
/ been purchased"

Kept Prices Down.
It Is pleasure to state that the
home Gamer kept the cost OF vege-
tables in tin and glass from soaring
too greatly last year, and has kept
down the prices proportionately on the
present pack; for peas, corn, tomatoes
and string beans are being quoted for
future delivery to wholesalers at about
last years prices, in some instances
at shade less. The demand has been
materially cut, unquestionably through
war conservation and home grown
winter vegetables and home packed
cans. Let the good work proceed,
ladies'. don't stop it.
The pack of all vegetables will be
short this year, for two reasons. re-
duced acreage and unfavorable wealth

cut because of the high price Of corn.

er profit.

Officials of the Treasury Depart
ment are Urging persons who contem-
plate giving Christmas gifts this year
to digress from their usual practice
Of giving luxuries and to instill the
habit of thrift in their friends by Civ
ing thrift stamps, war savings stamps,
or starting them on savings accounts
''Get the American people to put
some brains in their Christmas gifts"
is the slogan adopted by William
Mather Lewis, director of the savings
division of the Treasury Department.
In this time of high prices, IL is
pointed out, the Christmas shopper
who buys carefully, who shuns garish
luxuries, and who gives articles OF
real use is doing much to help the
economic situation. AS an ideal gift,
savings stamps and bank accounts,
which will be appreciated through the
year, are recommended.
The Treasury Department joins In
the campaign to shop early" 50 thai
prospective gift givers may realize
