PARIS, Jan. 29.-While the indlca-
tions still are that President Wilson
will win his contentious in regard to
the disposition of the German colo
MES by the Peace Congress. the
matter Is not yet settled. 1t Ia
known that the President did not
want to have the colonial problem
taken up at this time.
In a sense the President has oh
tained acquiescence in his general
principle, but 1t is conditional on de-
tails being worked out satisfactorily
which are so involved and with so
many troublesome factors that It 10
likely the matter will consume much
time. The whole colonial ques-
ton possibly was forced upon the
President ut this time for bargaining
purposes, for certainly it was not on
his programme for discussion now.

The conviction Is Irresistible that

that he make concessions in other

CHASE MADE FOR
ALLEGED AUTO CROOK

Out of Cash for Fake Insurance

A futile chase to Ormond and
points thereabouts was made this
morning In an attempt to catch an
alleged crook selling automobile in
surance to Ormond autoists. John
DeNyse drove into Ormond yester-
day and offered to take insurance on
automobiles for $1S.75 cash, which
would insure car for $1,000 give free
service from local garage, rebates on
supplies and numerous other induce
ments. Gene Johnson, local motor
cycle agent, was the first to bite, as
he passed through Ormond. 1t look
ed good to him until he reached Day
tona and started to investigate some
OF the statements made by DeNyse,
which he found untrue. He then re-
turned to Ormond to find that the
bird had flown, but not before he had
sold d. w. Waldron, general store
keeper and Oscar Mass, transfer
man, the same insurance. Although
Johnston phoned Bunnell in an effort
to head him off, he had not reached
there, or had lodged the call. john

his check, but Waldron and Mass
were out their cash, as were others

Latest developments in the strike in
the phosphate region are of such
nature that the Home Guards were
today ordered to mobilize for the
maintenance of peace and order and
in the interests of both sides to the
controversy.
The order which it is presumed,
originated with the Governor. was
received by Capt. Jones at about II
o'clock today, and at 100 o'clock B
Company had assembled in front OF
the Armory. Roll call showed a
pretty full attendance, and steps to
secure every one not present were
vigorously, taken. Details were sent
to the homes or working places OF
those who were absent, and men were
taken right off the job and ordered to
hustle into uniform. In the case OF
men out of the city peremptory or
ders were wired them to report at
once. No one is excused under any
circumstances.
Information relative to the situation
is hard to get, but it is hoped that
it is exaggerated and that the pres
ence OF the soldiers in the district will
be found unnecessary. The men are
not eager for this service, but they
are going cheerfully, and with the
friendliest feelings for all parties
concerned. There is one thing GER
tain, however-they will do exactly
what they are commanded to do and
will do it without fiinching. We have
trained with them enough to believe
this.
So far as this paper has been able
to ascertain, there has been no overt
act of violence, but the situation since
yesterday looked somewhat threaten
ing in the Tiger Bay section, so much
SO that the sheriff felt he needed as
sistance in handling it. AT three
o clock this afternoon reports from
there were to the effect that all Ii
quiet and no trouble probable. Som
