Mexico City, Mex, Dec. 13.--
Treasure hunting is now one of the
occupations of Francisco Villa, ac-
cording to reports from the hacienda
Cahutillo. Simple dwellers in the
surrounding ountry repeat and be-
lieve a tale that Villa, with the aid of
occult power, has dug up an immense
treasure which has been buried for
ages.
While it is said that Villa has not
really found gold or other treasure,
his readiness to join in the hunt is
looked upon as confession that he is
eager to find some quicker way to FIJI
his money chest than growing beans

This agitation is strengthened by
the prevalent belief that Villa will
not make a success as a farmer and
will ultimately become burden upon
the government, if he does not again
become actually troublesome.

HARDING'S LEAGUE CONFERENCES
With N0TABLES Reveal WIDELY
Divergent VIEWS ON SUBJECT
Senator New Favors a Disarmament Agree
ment, Reed Says international Law Is the

Commercial Ties Beat Covenants.
tBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Marion, Ohio, Dec. 18.-Presi-
dent-elect Harding heard sugges.
tions for his association of nations
plan from widely divergent view
points today in conferences with
Senator Harry s. New, of Indiana
Senator J. A. Reed, of Missouri
and DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler
president of Columbia university
Each indicated that he thought
Mr.. Harding was following along
hopeful lines, but each had his own
idea of what should be made the
basis and form of any international
agreement to promote peace.
Senator New, republican mem
ber of the foreign relations COM
mittee, was inclined to favor dis
armament agreement II one could
be made. He indicated that he
would not be averse to taking such
machinery of the Versailles league
as might be found practicable, bu,
told Mr.. Harding that in his opin-
ion a covenant mutually pledging
the leading nations to reduce ar
maments would be vastly superior
to any complicated international
peace structure.
AS democrat who has made a
bitter fight for flat rejection of the
Versailles treaty, Senator Reed
counselled the president-elect
against acceptance Of league mem
bership on any basis and recon-
mended modification Of interna'

national law as the best hope or
averting misunderstanding. To
go into the league In the face OF
the peoples verdict at the election
he declared, would be a breach of
faith and costly blunder. He
evidenced little faith that wars
could be abolished, but conceded u
plan for more deliberate diplomat
ic parleys might prevent some OF
them.
Economic considerations were
advanced by DIR. Butler as the de-
termining factor of the interna-
tional situation. He prophesied
that In the end, trade and CONNER
cial ties would be found more bind
ing and more practically useful
than peace covenants, in rehabili-
tatipg civilization and guarantee
ing its security. He suggested that
lGermany's burden of war indemnity
be definitely fixed as soon as pos
sible and that markets be stabilized
by establishing credit among con-
sumers abroad.
Both Senator Reed and DR.. But.
ler indicates they considered the
war referendum proposal imprac-
ticable and Senator New reserved

ed to the opportunity offered for a
small voluntary contribution to
make a glad Christmas for the poor
kiddies as has Albuquerque. Our
people have heart. They want
no sad boys or girls on Christmas
day. Do not forget, give one, or
two or five dollars. They will all
help to make hearts sing on
pChristmas day. 1t will do you good
to help.
Encourage the children to bring
some of last years toys and lay
them on the altar of Christmas
cheer; not old, broken things but
toys they have loved. 1t will help
your child to learn thought
fulness and usefulness. 1t will help
divert dollars to shoes and stock
ings that we would otherwise spend
for toys. We have a room set apart
to receive these gifts. Bring them
to the Journal office. This gives
the children a real part in our
Christmas cheer.
We need more volunteer women
to help a couple of hours day
next week. We cannot handle this

the money go where it should with

GERMANS ARE TALKING LESS0F
TREATY HARDsHIPS, TRYING TO
figure OUT WHAT They CAN PAY
Second Financial Conference Between Allies
and Huns Is Processing Smoothly; Proceed
ings Are Free From Theoretical Discussions
and Recriminations.

Brussels, Dec. 1S (by the Asso-
ciated Press. )-Conversations be-
tween the allied representatives to
the second financial conference and
the Germans today is beginning to
develop definite conclusions as to
what notifications of the treaty
clauses will satisfy the Germans
that they can execute the treaty and
pay reasonable reparations. There
is satisfaction among the allies be-
cause the proceedings seem to be
free from theoretical discussion ana
recriminations and apparently both
sides are animated by sincere de-
sires to reach a definite agreement
as to Germany's capacity to pay /.
The Germans are talking less OF
the hardships of the treaty and are
dealing instead, with changes that
will enable them to pay and yet
will be acceptable to the allies.
1t is considered that the sug-
gested changes would not consti-
tute actual revisions of the treaty
as those now under discussion deal
with clauses in which it is Literally
or theoretically optional with the
allies to require fulfillment OF 10

to reach an understanding which
would stop strife in Ireland and
pave the way to reconciliation.
You now imply that In your judg-
