ar7L PASO, in regard 10 the real
estate situation, is in a better
position than most OF the cities
Of the country" said K 3. CreeL
The volume OF real estate business
here has been very large, and although
IL has slumped somewhat in the last
Two or three weeks, the slump has
not been so large as usually expected
a. this time OF the year. Most OF the
building going on at present is work
that was contracted for several
months ago, and We do not expect
much more building until fall. A
number OF houses are now in course
Of construction, however, and there
appear to be plenty Of customers to
take every house that is bui1t. In
TACT there still are many more pros
poets than houses to sell. The situ-
alton in the south, and especially In
II Paso, Is much better than IN the
north. Prices for plumbing still are
out Of sight and other materials
are very expensive bit the slump
in business at present is much small
er than expected The months Of
June, July and august always are
dun IN real estate"

Wilson Sought to
Override Congress
Regarding Medals

Washington. Feb. 7.---After con-
gress passed a law permitting Ameri-
can officers to accept decorations
frbm foreign governments, President
Wilson directed the state depart
ment to inform all governments that
the United States did not wish any
awards to be made, Secretary Daniels
informed the naval committee today.
Before the president acted, Rear Adj
miral Sims had been Informed of the
passage Of the law, and had accepted
a decoration from King George and
had informed Admiral Rodman and
Rear Admiral Strauss. directing the
laying of the North sea barrage. to
accept decorations.
Admiral Sims was informed by
Secretary Daniels of the Presidents
action. the secretary eaid, and he
wrote asking whether he should re-
turn the medal to the king. Secre-
tary Daniels said that, in view Of the
fact that the medal had been ac-
cepted before the presidents, letter
had been written, the decoration
could not be returned.
Admiral Sims was in favor OF for
eign decorations for~American navas
officers, Mr.. Daniels continued, hold
ing that they would hep the morale.
Mr.. Daniels told the committee he
took an entirely different view and
never desired American officers to
accept any decorations from the for
eign government.
The secretary said Admirals Rod
man and Strauss were reluctant to
accept a decoration from the British.
and he read letters from them con-
firming the statement. Admiral Red
man wrote: II accepted the decora-
ton, because I did not wish to offend
the British government. because that
government holds such matters in
high esteem"
Admiral Strauss took the same po-
sition as Admiral Rodman. The
navy department told Admiral
Strauss that the decoration for him
and other officers would not be
conferred in the regular manner"
When Mr.. Daniels completed his
prepared statement he was cross
questioned by the committee. He
conceded that Admiral Sims had
served where ordered and said that
he meant no reflection by his testi-
mony that Admiral Sims had served
most Of his time on shore duty.
Chairman Hale read letters from
Secretary Daniels praising Admiral
Sims for his work during the war,
and Senator Mccormick read letters
from the secretary praising Mr.. Sims
when asking of house committee
that he and Admiral Benson be made
permanent admirals.
EVERY word that have said in a
certain sense is true, but If had
known what has transpired since, I
would not have recommended that
Sims be made an admiral. for life.
One reason for that decision now
would have been speech by Rep
resentative Byrnes in the house, in
which he quoted Sims as saying,
while in France, that an armistice
would have to be signed because
Pershing had failed to break thru
the German lines and that the
transportation system had broken
down."

Paris Ma rket Not Factor.

Paris, Feb. THE Paris market
has little or nothing to do with tn.
fluctuations OF exchange quotations
and the upward trend of the dollar
and sterling, as according to the
cashier OF the bank of France.
The initiative always comes from
New York to London" he said.
THE cause Of the rise in the dollar
is simple and dates back to March
15, 1919 in the non renewal Of credit
advances by the English and Ameri-
can treasures to the French govern
ment during the war the latter in
turn handling the credits Of the
Bank Of France, which managed to
obtain dollars at the rate Of five
francs.
"The withdrawal Of dollars from
the open market caused the rise to
be foreseen when credits were not
renewed"
