ADD TO SAN FERNANDO.

By next June the Oldest place of
worship in San Antonio, the San
Fernando Cathedral on Military Plaza,
will have a $4,000 addition completed.
The addition, plans for which were
drawn by Leo NJ. ]. Dielmann, archi-
tect, will be constructed along the
same plans as the cathedral itself, and
will in no way destroy the air of
dignity and sanctity which has sur
rounded the ancient cathedral. The
addition is being constructed Of brick
and will have stucco walls.
When the addition is completed, the
cathedral will assume a perfect rectan-
gular shape. The new walls will be
on each side of the dome that rises in
the rear of the chapel, and will be a
continuation Of the old walls.
The lower floor Of the addition will
be used for office space, while the
upstairs rooms will be used as a rec
tory.

New York, Jan. 13.-Here is told
Emile Coues vision. of the future.
1t is a dazzling vision erected on the
premise of the worlds millions reciting
indefinitely Every day in every way
1 am getting better and better"-and
really meaning it.
This is what NJ. Coue sees ahead:
"A race of people near human per-
lection is possible. All who want to do
it and will do it, can do it-get better
and better. In every way means literal
ly in every way-mentally, morally,
physically.
specifically, then: The bright vi
sion of the future is in taking out of
insane asylums and prisons immense
numbers of people who do not belong
there"
NJ. Coue does not talk much Of this
ambitious dream. But those close TO
him tell you it is the subject nearest
his heart.
Since his arrival in America he has
not spoken of it publicly, even under
the barrage of unending squadrons of
newspaper reporters.
Publicly he gave this advice: "Nevcc

Turkish and Russian
Delegations Withdraw
From Peace Farley

LAUSANNE, Feb. THE Turkish
and Russian delegations in the Near
East peace conferences, headed re-
spectively by 1smet Pasha and
George Tchitcherin, departed today.
The treaty is still unsigned and
there are no indications that it will
be in the immediate future.
StiE Hope, Says Ismet.
That Ismet believes the negotia-
tons will be renewed was indicated
by a statement he made to Inter,
national News Service just before
he boarded the train at $40 o'clock.
81 do not consider that the peace
conference is ended said Ismet.
81 am availing myself of this OPP
portunity to go to Angora to re-
port to my government. The fu-
ture course of developments is up
to the Angora assembly"
Ismet Pasha said he expected to
return to Lausanne in three or
four weeks, indicating that it would
be a month before the treaty is
signed, if it is signed at all. Ismet
expects to reach Angora Saturday
or Sunday and will at once report
to the cabinet and the national
assembly. The assembly will then
decide whether or not to accept
the allies terms with the new
notifications that have been pro-
posed.
Secretary General Massigli Of the
conference issued a formal COM
munique saying that the conference
was officially suspended last We'd
nesday morning "for several weeks"
Secretary General Massigli urged
Ismet to remain in Lausanne, but
the latter refused. He consented,
however, to leave two secretaries
behind.
British to Sit Tight.
The British cabinet is expected
to ''sit tight" until Angora makes
a decision one way or another.
The British representative in
Lausanne was instructed to see
Ismet and ask him what terms
Angora was likely to demand, but
was told that this was entirely up
to the national assembly and that
no one could speak in advance for
that body.
Ismet refused to send to Great
Britain a written pledge that Tur-
key would accept the treaty with
out additional discussions.
Much annoyance was caused by
false reports on Tuesday that
France had notified Great Britain
that the Turks were ready to sign.
There was another report that the
Turks had postponed their depar-
ture until Saturday in hope the
negotiations would be reopened in

ENDS

tons, and Three Protocols
Result of Farley.
BY HARRY l.. ROGERS.
International NaRa Service.

The conference of Central Ameri-
can republics came to an end here to-
day with the signing, in open plenary
session, OF one treaty, eleven conven-
tons and three protocols affecting
the relations of the United States
with Central America and those of
the Central American republics
among themselves.
With Secretary of State Hughes as
chairman, the conference has con.
cluded treaty of peace and amity,
a convention for the establishment
Of Central American arbitration
tribunal, a convention for the limita-
ton of ornaments, and numerous
other agreements expected to prove
Of marked benefit tn ali concerned.
Under the terms of the agreement
for the limitation of ornaments, the
various Central American countries
bind themselves to limit their stand
ing armies and national guard as fol-
lows:
Armament Agreement.
Guatemala, $500; Salvador, 1900;
Honduras, $500; Nicaragua. $500,
and Costa Rica, 1000. ,
This limitation is to continue in
force for five years.
The contracting powers further
agree not to export or permit the
expectation of arms or munitions or
any other kind of military stores
from one Central American republic
to another: to limit the number of
aircraft which can be used in time
of war to ten; and agree to acquire
no warships: Finally, the contract
ing powers agree to furnish one an
other, semi-annually, during the
life Of the convention, full reports
on the measures adopted by each
government for execution of the
convention.
The general treaty OF peace and
amity approved by the conference,
incorporates those provisions OF the
treaty of peace of 1907 which have
been found to be of practical value
in furthering the maintenance of
friendly relations between the Cen.
trail American states.
1t contains, likewise, certain ad.
ditional provisions which the con-
ference believes will be of value
in the promotion of those aims.
Among its features are: Recogni.
