With the President. It is expected here
that he win join In the call for the

here, that the President had won

The statements made by the pre-
nniers that the London treaty Is the
only alternative IL the Italian-Jugo-
Slav conferences do not reach an
agreement are not likely to meet
with concurrence from the President,
those close to him declared. He has
indicated his opposition to the Lon
don treaty and any settlements based
upon 1t, and 1t Is not likely that he
will be swerved from that stand.
Hopes of an agreement between
Italy and the Jugo-Slavs are somc-
what shaky, inasmuch. as there Is
such wide divergence of opinion be-
tween the two nations now az to their
Adriatic claims. 1t Is hoped ocre.
however, that the strong stand the
President has taken will force the
two governments to reach an agree.
ment, although it Is expected that the
negotiations will be long drawn OUT
In some quarters today it was pre-
dicted that Italy would make answer
to the charges of President Wilson
that her demands were unjust" in-
expedient," and "importunate." The
fact that Premier Nitti has expressed
his willingness to enter negotiations
with Foreign Minister Trumbitch OF
Jugo-Slavia, however, indicates that
italy is not in a stubborn mood.

BEGINNING AT HOME.

When considering the beauties Of
nature, start with your own front
yard. Clean it up; cut the grass al
the proper time; plant flowers in sea-
son-make it a joy to the eye. Move
right on around to the back of the
house, repeat the operation, and then
look around TO see if anything has
been missed. If your neighbours yard
is a little better than yours, make UP
your mind that yours must be better
than his. The time is past when we
can afford to let our premises look
just any old way and still expect to
have a town that will compare favor
ably with the best of them.-Nez
