GUM, figured prominently during to-
days peace conferences. The Belgian
monarch called on Colonel House at II
in the morning and later saw President
Wilson before the arrival Of David Lloyd
George. Premier Clemenceau and Signor
Orlando
The call Of King Albert on Colonel
House was a decided novelty, for which
veterans Of royal procedure said there
was no precedent. He was met ut the
entrance Of the residence Of Colonel
Colonel House by the colonel himself,
who escorted him to his private office,
where series of conferences is going
on.
1t is understood that King Albert drew
attention during his talk with Colonel
House to Belgium's vital demands in
frontier and other questions which are
now reaching Il eliminating stage and
also spoke of his interest in having
Brussels chosen as the seat Of the league
of nations.
A Swiss delegation which called on
Colonel House after King Albert had de-
parted is understood TO have made Of
fers on behalf Of Geneva as the seat
Of the league which offset the Brussels
offer of the royal palace. The Swiss Of
fer included tender of an extensive do
main a short distance from Geneva, bor-
dering the lake.

One of the American experts who is

following glimpse of what is going on
behind the scenes:
THE situation is extremely difficult,
particularly as regards the western from

conGhatory spirit, has been willing to
do most anything to assure French secur-

California. This road viii enable Mexico
TO transport troops by rail, from central
Mexico to Lower California without
entering the United States. Heretofore,
when an emergency arose which neces-
STATED the quick dispatch of troops to
the western territory, the Mexican gov
ernment was compelled to obtain per-
mission from the United States to send
its soldiers thru this country. This per
mission has always been granted, but it
is said the Mexican always have dis
liked to make the request.
The railroad projects are believed by
officials here to be part Of President
Carranzas program to secure govern
ment control Of the entire transport
alton machinery of Mexico. There are,
except for short mining lines, at pre-
sent only two privately-owned railroads
in Mexico.

candidate for mayor of Butte, to-
day, because he is contesting for
the democratic nomination, and he
was barred by court from with
drawing that contest so that he
might get his name on the ticket as

Refusal to receive Dunn's indepen-
dent nomination petition was de-
creed by deputy city clerk in
charge at city hall in the absence
of City Clerk Charles n. Treacy.
Attorneys for Dunn left the papers
with the clerk and have demanded
a ruling from the city attorney as

While difficult to make reliable
