BRITISH AND
/ FRENCH ARE:
NEAR BREAK
Premiers' Conference To
Adjourn While Peace
Makers Attempt To
Mend Differences.

London, Dec. lit (By Associ-
ated Press. THE conference OF
allied premiers, called to arrange
the basis for an allied financial
and reparations conference In
Brussels. has broken down. 1t
was announced at 6 O'clock this
afternoon that the premiers had
taken Adjournment until January
q.
After the conference adjourned,
Premier Poincare said:
1T Is finished
The conference January 2 will
be held in Paris, 1t was announced
tonight.
London, Dec. 11.-(By Associ-
ated Press. Adjournment of the
premiers conference tonight for
eight days In order to avert an
open rupture between England
and France over the Ques;-- IA OF
German reparations has been vir-
tually decided upon, 1t was learn
ed today.
The British cabinet rejected
the measure OF force for the Ruhr
district upon which Premier Poin-
care insisted.
Prime Minister Bonar Law In
formed Premier Poincare that
British public opinion was over
whelmingly opposed to any riii-
tary measures against Germany.
Poincare had made demand
for the occupation of the Ruhr as
a guarantee for a German mora
torium.
To Resume Sessions.
The conference probably will
resume Its session In eight days In
London or Paris. Meanwhile 1t Id
hoped that some guarantees may
be found which will satisfy the
French and at the same time make
military action unnecessary.
1t was stated in French circles
that the imminent adjournment
was merely a maneuver to prevent
an open break among the allies,
particularly between France and
England and that there was lit
tie likelihood Of findingt a COM
mon basis of agreement between
England aud France.
1t was further pointed out that
in spite of Premier Poincare's de-
sire to cooperate with the new
British government, he has been
forced largely by the political. sit
uation at home to demand the
Ruhr as the price Of any conces-
sions to Germany.
The meeting OF the premiers
scheduled for this noon was post
poned until o'clock. 1t was ex-
pected that in the meantime pri-
vate interviews would take place
among the premiers in an eleventh
hour effort to save the conserya-
tions from what seemed this morn
ing to be inevitable postponement.

No one who is willing to assist
is barred from the movement. Co
operation must be had if al
Salem is to have the type 0l
Christmas it should have. John

Mary, who has already written
+'un letters suggesting that she

city holey but that they II still
old marbles-these and other
lases must be taken care of.
Public Asked to Help
The Salem Elks' welfare COM
mittee, supplementing the work
of the Salvation army, is going
to take care of it-with the help
of all Salem. Money, clothes, food,
candy, nuts, and toys are needed
plenty of each-and with these
the big brother workers hope to
keep from every Salem home the
despair, the disappointment that
would come to little folk were
they not remembered.
If at all possible gift packages
should be wrapped well and left
at the Elks lodge. Packages
should be marked, on the outside
so that the committee will know
what they contain. In cases where
delivery cannot be made, the
Elks will call for the parcels.
Autos Also Needed
Automobiles will be used, and
those persons who can offer them
to the committee should commune
cate with Fred Erixon, chairman.
The machines will be chiefly
needed on the Sunday afternoon
and evening before Christmas, but
they will also be used during the
afternoons from now until Decem-
ber 25. Persons who can spare
their automobiles for an hour OF
so of an afternoon will render a
service by placing them at the
disposal of the committee.
Salem merchants are to be asked
to give candy and nuts which will
go into the parcels, and Others
who wish to help may do SO. A
careful survey is to be made of ths
entire town and only the deserv.
ing will be considered. Those in
charge are convinced that this
Christmas is TO be a real one foi
everybody.
VIII you help?
Send In Names Now
1t is absolutely essential that
names of families whose boys and
girls might be forgotten, be
learned early and such informa-
tion should be given Immediately
to The Capital Journal. All COM
munications will be treated in the
strictest confidence and no names
will be made known to persons
other tan those officially connect
ed with the movement. Letters
should be addressed to The Christ
mas Relief, in care of The Capital
Journal and should briefly act
forth names, addresses and condi-
tions at the homes in question.
Members of the ElKs committee
in charge of the fbig brother"
work are Fred Erixon, chairman:
f. G. Delano and Albert Downing.
Members of the committee have
ann 1unced that boys and girls at
the state schools will be remem-
bered>t this year.
