The allied statesmen who are meet
ing in an endeavor to solve the
European riddle Monday devoted
five hours TO an analysis of the con-
ditions existing between Great Brit
ain, France, italy and Belgium. The
conference terminated in the APP
pOintment of "A committee composed
Of the finance ministers Of these
countries. which is to examine into
specific proposals made by Ray.
mond Poincare the French pre-
mier. These proposals have not
been made public.
The committee I'm collaboration
with the financial experts is to meet
under the craftsmanship Of Sir Rob-
ert s Horn British chancellor of
the exchequer at 1890 Tuesday
morning. il will make a report TO
the full conference some time Tues
day or Wednesday.
The appointment of the commit
tee followed a proposal by David
Lloyd George the British prime
minister. TO grant a moratorium 70
Germany which would terminate at
the end Of the present year. and the
outline by NJ Poincare OF measures
which France considers should pre-
cede any further alienation Of Ger.

France has no objection TO
moratorium in principle" said VI
PoinCare He then outlined the
plan which he indicated would be
satisfactory TO Frances require
ments.
Every sanction" Mr. Lloyd
George replied should be consid-
cred, as to whether IT. will result
merely in trouble or in hard cash.
Mr.. Lloyd George discussed VI.
Poincare's proposition in detail and
said expert advice should be invit-
ed before the ministers said yes or
no to it, The question OF referring
the matter 10 committee was
unanimous

The French. British, Belgian and
Italian spokesmen during the ses-
sion painted gloomy pictures OF
their war-ravaged countries and
consequent chaotic trade conditions.
Baron HayashL the japanese repre-

into the conference and brought the
first laughter among the delegates
when he made the declaration:
Il think the single object OF the
allies should be TO get al the mon

Mr. Lloyd George in a brief adj
dress opened the conference. He
said the British government fav-
ored awaiting the repor. OF The re-
parations commission before com
pleting an allied meeting but that
others had thought the circum-
stances necessitated an immediate
gathering He then invited VI.
Poincare 10 elaborate his view
VI. Poincare said ne thought the
meeting was necessary because two
factors Of great Importance had de-

in London. namely the German de-
mand for a moratorium and tie

corning inter-allied debts. The

Traced Couple Here.
He had traced the couple from St

The detective was most mysterious

not state the names of the couple
giving as his reason that they would
probably attempt 10 secure a license
under fictitious names but carefully
questioned clerks at the County
Clerks office
TO learn if "a suspicious looking

POPULAR f0-CENT PACKAGE
COMES BACK TO ITS OWN

The housewife likes the convenient
dime. She has always liked it, and
always will. For 10 cnts is a price
that appeals to the popular imagi-
nation.
The grocer also likes the dime and
the article that sells for a dime,
since the 10-cent article means more
business and a quicker turnover. 1t
simplifies his bookkeeping and in
the long run saves considerable
time in making change; thereby
minimizing mistakes and helping to
keep the customers moving during
rush hours.
Consequently the Postum Cereal
Company, Inc, takes pleasure in an
nouncing a new price on Post
Toasties, effective December 81.
1921, which will enable grocers to
sell a package OF Post Toasties at
their pre-war price, 10 cents. and
make a good profit.
During the war when prices for
foodstuffs in general were rapidlv
rising, Post Toasties were the last
corn flakes to go up in price. All
through the trying period of read
Justment last year they held the
market steady and now they are the
first to come down. No doubt the
thrifty housewife will be found i'm
mediately responsive to this lower
ed price.
