Go Over Defects
Coach Kovach went over the de-

did wrong and how they should have
done: In addition he gave out some
new plays although he still has a
bunch of forward pass formations
which have not yet been uncorked'
He has used but one forward pass
thus far this season and has been able
to win all contests with the exception
of the one against Duluth Cathedral.
Coach Kovach stated last night
that his men had come through the
game with Thief. River Falls in good
shape. Tharaldson was the only man
injured and the coach said that ms

London, Oct 25-Great Britain
must pay all of her debt to America,
Lloyd George declared in speech
at the meeting of the National Lib
erals. It is imperative that America
and Great Britain work together, the
former premier asserted. It was
Lloyd Georges first real stump
speech of his campaign. He entered
the hall in the hotel Victoria with
his wife and daughter, Megan, on
either side. There was great roar
of applause.
Omitted Press dispatches from Lon
don yesterday said Bonar Law and
Curzon had agreed on a policy of
Great Britain paying her debt to
America. No official announcement
was made, however, and Lloyd George
in his speech today "beat Bonar Law
to it.")
Lloyd George approved the League
Of Nations but said it would be Grip
pied until the United States and all
great and small European nations
have joined.

Washington, Oct. Is, (By A. L.
Bradford. Copyrighted 1922 by the
u. P)-The American government
has entered into diplomatic deliber-
alton to determine what can be done
by the United States to prevent q
financial crash in Europe.
Almost constantly, exchanges are
going back and forth between the
state department in Washington and
American ambassadors abroad while
conferences are ensuing here between
Secretary of State Hughes and some
ambassador on the serious situation
in Europe.
The whole world is looking to this
country as last hope.
1t is known that the question of
the possibility and ACCESSIBILITY Of a
world conference on economic rehab-

United States to be held in Washing

vast problem for figuring in this dis

ible to state with any certainty what
the final decision of the government
will be.
The United States in the calling
of the conference here Of the five
American countries to consider re-
duction of their land forces, is open
ing the way for further concerted
action by all nations for extensive
land disarmament.
Following adoption Of land arm

CHICAGO, April 5.--IIope that the

Intervention was expressed in mes
sage from President Harding read to-
night at the annual dinner Of the Ma
tional Lumber Manufacturers Associ-
alton.
President Harding expressed interest
in plans looking to the restoration OF
normal cost bases, elimination Of waste
and conditions which would promote
building through reasonable assurance
that builders would not have their in
vestments impaired "by reason of fur
thcr DISCRIMINATION in the industry
He also expressed a desire that the in
dustry do away with practices which
have been disadvantaeeous to effective
competition, and calculated waste, to
our timber resources" His letter said
in part:
81 have been informed that at the
Forthcoming meeting efforts will be
made to agree upon policies looking to
the restoration Of normal cost bases in
waste, and the assurance to intending
builders that they may so ahead with
their operations, reasonably certain
that inve stments made now will not
have their value impaired by reason of
further disorganization in the industry.
"On the side of the lumber industry
in particular am assured that there is
desire through cooperation to rid it
of some conditions and practices which
have been disadvantageous to effective
competition and calculated waste Of
our timber resources.

poses make strong appeal to me and

with the suggestion that some leaders
Of these Industries have put forwa rd-
that these results should be accom-

course, is the wise and altogether de-
sirable proceeding.

Workers Obligations Denied
Secretary Davis replied with brief
telegram under date of April 3, ac-
cording to Mr.. Clark, to the effect
that all OF his public statements had
reference only to that section of the
central competitive states that failed
to carry out their obligations and had
no reference to any of the districts or
companies that have shown willing
ness to meet around the council table
as they have done for many years.
In another letter written or April 8

gram, Mr.. Clark declared that "the

which you can determine whether or
not there has been break or viola

that you publicly criticize such &C

commenting on Mr.. Clark conteu-
tions, President Lewis said last night
tnat the rule providing that the miners
remain at work thirty DAYS if new
agreement had not been effected bv
April l was contingent upon the main.
*enance of the existing wage scale
instead OF the wage scale being con-
t,nued, President Lewis said, "Mr
Clark and other operators ASSOCIATED d
with him posted notices at the mines
announcing big decreases in wages
eliminating the check off and making
other changes in the miners working
conditions. Consequently. that re-
lieved the workers of any obligation to
continue at their posts, the operators
IN that district having set aside the
status quo.
ut is also Known continued Mr.
Lewis, that the operators associated
with Mr.. Clark never made any rate
agreements with the miners until a
basic scale had been fixed in the central
competitive fields, despite Mr.. Clark s
contentious to the contrary"
The conferences between the anthra-
cite operators and union representa-
tlves will be continued here to-day.

from urging the visitor to order more
than he cares to eat, and twelve bars
the butler from suggesting only the
most expensive wines; in fact, from sug-
gesting any wines at all. The thir-
teenth point advises against any em-
poyee OF a hotel imposing his taste or

Some See Virtue in Novelty
The fourteen points were discussed
with great animation and some were
adopted without dissent. The thr-
teenth however. was criticized as being
a bit too strong. What would be the
sense of Americans coming to France,
it was asked, if they did not want to
have a change, and how could they be-
come familiar with the French ideas
if the hotel employees did not discuss
them and perhaps point to their vir-
tues? Why completely Americanizo
French hotels and abandon French ira
dition? Nothing causes Il Frenchman
to suffer more than the abandonm ent
of tradition good or bad-and this
point therefore, led to the liveliest
talk.
One Of tne leading members of the
assembly, NJ. Milon. proprietor of the
! Grand HOTEL Cafe de la Paix. agreed
practically to everything. He remind
ed his audience That for many years he
had forbidden walters to suggest any
thing while taking orders. "You can
order a piece of cheese and one vege-
table in my place and the head waiter
won't look astonishcd," he said proud
ly. NJ. Milon added that if two or three
places in Paris charged unreasonable
prices it was enough to give the whole
city the reputation of overcharging.
Americans who have lived in Paris
for any length of time know the places
to which NJ. Milon referred, During
the season there is one place where one
cannot get meal without paying 4
small fortune, and this place is always
jammed with Americans. A French
man never puts his foot, inside the
door and only English is spoken
I Whenever rich New Yorker lands ir
Paris this is the first place he heads
for-and he is always welcome.
Despite the fact that the "points'
suggested by M. Knecht were accepted
it must not be assumed that they will
be followed-at least not strictly. Yet
there is no doubt that serious effort
will be made by the Parisians who have
interest in the matter to please Amer
ican visitors and to treat them with
moderation. Lower prices have set in
and to-day one may see first class
restaurant giving a good dinner at q
| francs a head, with music and dancing

special Coblc 10 The Tribune


PARIS, April 5.A conference took
place this week in Paris which probably
will attain far more practical results
than many others of international mo-
ment. 1t was n meeting of the prlnci-
pal hotelkeepers and restaurant owners
Of the capital. America, Of course, was
absent from this meeting because she
always holds aloof from European af-
fairs of this kind. But America was
morally present, since that country was
the sole topic Of the conference.
There was only one item in the
agenda: "How can we best please the
American traveler?' Marcel knecht
for several years the American directo!
of the French Bureau of Information
told the assembly what the hotels must
do if they really desire to please the
Americans. He set down fourteen
points which certainly were not in
spired by such lofty idealism as those
of the Versailles peace conference but
which probably will have Il better
chance of being put into practice.
Rates Must Be in Plain View
M knecht's first requirement is that
the prices of rooms shall be printed
and pacarded in the halls. that the
guests may be perfectly sure the rates
do not change according to nationality
The second is that reasonable rates
shall be charged because visitors from
the United States are sure to protest
against anything unreasonable.
The third point made by M. knecht
is that telephones shall be installed ir
every room, because that is the custom
in the United States. Point 4 is that
a special service be maintained fol
sending and receiving messages, because
Americans like to receive messages
promptly. A good omnibus service also
is desirable (this is Point 81. because
the Americans have had enough of the
Paris taxicab and the methods of the
drivers.
Under point six. The American lrav-
eler must be advised that he will have
luxury tax to pay in addition to his
room rent, so he won't be surprised
when he receives his bill. Cleanliness
in cooking is covered by the seventh
point. and the eighth is devoted to the
folly Of placing statucttes on the man
telpiece instead of clocks. Number
nine suggests that meals in restaurants
be sold at fixed prices, and ten urges
that prices be marked on the menus
in large letters without the confusing
annotation "prices according to por-
tions'
Point steven would forbid the waiter
nomc support of the present strike OF
the mine workers.
