QUESTION OF VERSAILLES
is STILL UNSETTLED

PARIS. April 2.-The council OF
foreign ministers at their meeting
yesterday received the report
OF the peace conference commission
on Czecho-Slavak territorial claims
and discussed the ACCESSIBILITY Of
holding a plenary session OF the
conference for a discussion OF the
report on international labor legis-
lation. The report was made by
the commission designated by the
full conference and consequently it
probably will be received at a plen-
airy session.
The foreign ministers also con-
sidered the question Of holding bust
ness sessions at Versailles. when the
German delegates arrive there. Be
cause of the inadequate heating ar
rangements and its inconvenient To-
cation there is some doubt whether
Versailles would be satisfactory for
a business session although historic
reasons make II imperative thar the
peace treaty be signed there.

made for the underwriting OF the
Victory issue OF Liberty bonds BY

= vigorous denial today BY VIII II.
Wade, director OF sales for Indiana.
Mr.. Wade states that he IS at a loss
10 understand how such reports
could have originated. as they are
"entirely without foundation in
fact"
Mr.. Wade points out that the
n casury department overruled the
suggestion made by certain financial
agencies that the rate OF interest
for the Victory loan be advanced
and that the banks be permitted 10
absorb the entire issue. without the
usual popular appeal. lie states that
officially that issue was definitely
settled at Washington some weeks
ago. when formal arrangements for
q popular campaign and nationwide
distribution OF the securities was
determined upon and plans laid for
reaching more buyers, il possible
than during the fourth loan drive.

way Mr.. wade characterized the re-

the Victory loan. 1t is another pop
ular issue and our intention is 10

other issue.
I'VE have our organization practi-
cally complete and will certainly ex-
pect every county in the state to do

1t is reported that two public meet
ings have recently been held at Raw
Inns for the purpose of deciding upon
a quarantine of some kind or other pro-
tective measures for checking the infiu-
enza epidemic in that city, but owing
to the many perplexing problems which
are encountered in the effort to enforce
such regulations, no decisions were ar
lived at and no action taken. The sit
uation at Rawlins the past few weeks
has been very alarming and according
to late reports the plague shows No
signs of abating.
, 1919-01-02

DR.. Irwin has been called to the
French Greek tie camp three times dur
ing the past ten days to attend flu pa
tients, something over half the popula-
ton of the camp, which totals about 60
persons, having contracted the disease.
The camp has no nurses and lack of
care for the patients is presenting a Sc
rious obstacle in combating the disease.
The first death in the camp from this
cause occurred Tuesday evening, when
a young Swede. whose name we did not
learn, succumbed to the disease. Sew
eral others are reported to be in a very
serious condition, but no new cases
have developed since the first. whole
sale outbreak of the malady there last
week.

TOWN MAY BE GUARANTEED.
Many Favor a Temporary Quarantine
of Persons Coming Here From
Towns Where Flu Exists.

The town council held a special ses-
sion Tuesday forenoon to discuss the
question of Quarantining the town
against people from other places. The
meeting was called in response to sug-
to the effect that something should be
done to protect the local population
against people coming here from in
fected districts, and it seemed to be
the sentiment of the council that new
corners should be subjected to at least
a three or four days quarantine after
their arrival here. but in attempting to
outline any definite arrangements for
the carrying out of such a plan, many
difficulties were encountered. No def
mite action was taken at this time ard
the matter viii be discussed further at
another meeting and in the meantime
an effort will be made to get the senti-
ment of the citizens generally on the
subject.
1t is reported that a number of peo-
pie have lately moved here from Raw
Inns to reside temporarily, while the flu
epidemic is raging in that city, and all
travellers have been allowed to come
and go with full liberty to mix freely
with local people. However. in view
of the many deaths resulting from the
epidemic in other cities. the council has
been urged to tax some measures for
the protection of the local population,
in order to prevent, il possible, another
outbreak of the disease here.
1t is likely that under the authority
of the county health officer, DR.. T. J.
Swisher of Rawlins, something in the
way Of a limited or temporary quar-
antine will be adopted here, unless a
change for the better occurs very o o
in the influenza situation in nearby
cities.

LOCAL ROAD REPORTED SOLD.
Denver Interests Trying to Purchase S.
& Il. Railway and Other Proper
ties Of PENN Wyoming Co.

There are many reports current To-
Encampment Railway, the smelter and
tramway at Encampment and the other
extensive mining and other property of
the old Wyoming Company, all Of
ago by a committee of the bondholders
of the corporation, has beer sold to
Denver people. and there are many
theories as to what these purchasers
expect to do with the properties.
However, none of these reports can
be verified. and we are informed by
persons who should know, that al
though an offer was made for the prop
critics by Denver interests, no sale has
yet been made. the matter being now
under advisement. but it is likely that
. n definite action will be-taken with
in the mex few days.
Many people are of the firm belief
that in cast the sale is made it will
mean some great Improvements in the
properties throughout, with the mines
again placed upon a working basis, the
railroad property practically rebuilt
throughout and perhaps extended, and
many other Improvements which would
mean great things for'this valley. 9th
ers are equally sure that the transfer
to the Denver people would result only
in the junking of the entire property,
the removal of everything of value and
leaving us only a few scars on the land
scape to testify to a one-time period of
progress and prosperity.
The outcome of the matter is await
ed with great interest and The Sun will
endeavor to report any developments
whenever authentic information is
available.
