are the owners of the Mosul oil fields,
which are in the Mesopotamian terri
tory inundated to Britain. This oil
question is perhaps the most trouble
some one the conference has to deal
with. It is reported the English may
finally consent to throw over Feisal
and his kingdom of Iraq and let Tur-
key have the territory, provided they
are assured of concessions for the de-
velopment Of the oil fields. Several
other European nations claim a share,
however, and Americans have large in
terests in the region, which Messrs.

quick to protest against the carrying
out of the death sentences, but the
Greeks ignored this and within few
hours the six were lined up and shot.
Minister Lindley at once notified the
Greek government that Great Britain
had broken off relations with it and he
departed for Lausanne to confer with

late Wednesday, the administration
forces We're out in full strength and
the bill was passed by comfortable
margin. During the several days given
TO its consideration many amendments
were accepted by the Republican ma,

this being generally viewed among

affording a check on expenditures.

week, NJ. Clemenceau insists that,
although France does not desire to
crush Germany, she has the best of
reason to fear another attack on her

with soviet Russia and Turkey, they
think themselves powerful enough to
seek revenge. He called attention to
As grave violations by Germany of the

charged that Germany, in her efforts

tax in Germany is only $14 in contrast
to an average of $45 in France. He

administration Of the territory. to be
seized, and it was assumed thatAthere
would be no objection by Great Brit
ain, since France was supporting the
British program in relation to the Near
East. On Wednesday, however, Pre-
mier Poincare cabled to Ambassador
Jusserand in Washington directions to
state that there was not the slightest
foundation in fact for the report that
the French government was cOntem-
plating forcible entry into the Ruhr.
Chancellor Cuno had notified the al
lies that his government fully in
dorsed the "final" demand of Doctor
Wirth for a moratorium of three or
four years on all reparations payments
and huge international loan. Berlin
was greatly disturbed by the reports
from Paris, but could only reiterate
that fulfillment of the treaty Of Ver-
sailles would ruin both Germany and
France. Questioned in the house OF
commons, Prime Minister Bonar Law
said he had no information that would
justify him in saying the French occu-
patton of the Ruhr was imminent; but
just before that he had long confer
ence with the French ambassador, and
this was significant because heretofore
he has insisted on leaving foreign af-
fairs to the foreign, Office.

province they saw only perfect
compilations. Young and old,
dark or fair, the women all had
uniformly beautiful skins-and all
because they claycd them. The
girl tried it on her own skin
whose dull, sallow look had never
responded to domestic prepara-
tions. Her own father scarcely
recognized her following the ex-
pertinent with this peculiar clay!
He worked until his knowledge
of chemistry revealed the way TO
preserve the magic properties of
that clay-and brought some to
America.
A few demonstrations quickly
spread the news of this new facial
magic. Soon there were a dozen
requests for every ounce of this
clay that was in America. Those
who had been fortunate enough to
obtain jars of the real English
clay glGied in compilations which
even in the sunlight showed no
blemish. Skins lacking all life
and color took on a, natural tingc
that required no artificial aid to
be truly beautiful.
In forty minutes by the clock,
the most hopeless skin trans
formed to one of baby softness
and youthful color! Is it any
wonder we became a nation of
clayers almost overnight?
