Long Diplomatic Struggle At Lausanne Appears
 At End

LAUSANNE, July 16.-CBy Asso- ciated Press.)--An agreement was reached late tonight on all the out standing difficulties in the Near East conference and nothing remains in the way of signature of peace. Ismet Pasha, head of the Turkish delegation, and the allied delegates discussed for several hours the questions of concessions and evacua- tion by foreign troops of Turkish soil and when at II o'clock the sessions were resumed the atmosphere was electrical, recalling the night of Feb ruary 4, when Lord Curzon, in ac- cordance with his ultimatum, left for London and the first peace confer ence collapsed.
 The delegates representing the great powers prepared to bravely en- counter the Turks when they met the second time. One of them summa- rized the situation in his remark: Lit tie by little by terrible tenacity these Turks get more out of us, and now they have reopened things we dreamed were already settled. We will try to end it tonight. but who can tell?"

No decision Reached Upon Method Of Dealing With
 Alleged DeserterS

SOUTHAMPTON, July 1s-(By As sociated Press, )-The cases against more than a score of the crew of the American steamship Leviathan, sum moned in police court today en charges of deserting their ships, were adjourned sine die. No deci- sion was reached as to the method of dealing with the cases.
 Fireman Courtney, alleged to have deserted the Aquitania. proved that he had never been on the ship and the case against him was withdrawn with the allowance of one guinea for costs. Two other cases were taken as tests. The prosecuting solicitor said the proceedings were not insti- tuted to embarrass the United States lines but with view to vindicating the rights of British shipping com panies to maintain discipline aboard their own vessels.
 The Cunard line has lost 500 men through desertion in four months and the White Star 500 men. All the de- fendants before the court returned here as seamen on the Leviathan.

 Phil H. Brown. commissioner of conciliation of the United States de- partment of labor, writing to the Philadelphia Public Ledger, says: "Idleness of these negro workers in the northern cities during the win ter would be as unwelcome to the civil authorities as to the migrants themselves, and an extension of the movement should be carefully con- sidered with especial regard to diff faculties In placement which seem apparent"
 Cleveland, Ohio. to which there has been a large migration of negroes, announces officially that there Is a man available for every Job B. C. Seiple, state superintendent of em ployment service In Ohio, has re- quested the department of labor to broadcast warning that further placement of negroes in Cleveland would be impossilNe.

 Pay No Attention To Rumors.
 Old Dame Rumor" is talkative old soul and she talks most when a contest is running. You can hear most anything. most any place, from how many hundred subscriptions Mrs. "So and So" has turned in, how many she is holding back, to that the paper won't give away the auto mobiles. Whenever you hear any tbing like this. just remember, the person who told had some reason for telling you; more than likely they wished to discourage you so some other of their friends could get the subscriptions that naturally would come your way. Other folks who never see anything good in life tell you such tales simply because their lifelong motto is to knock, not boost So whatever you hear, dismiss it as an idle rumor. One of the cutest little stories yet to come to the ears of the "S0.000 Club" manager is one that is circulating around over town to the effect that Club" members ould have to wait q year before getting their automobiles or the S5 cents in cash on each new subscrip- tions. This tale really caps tho it is too raw for most any one to swallow The Club" members and their friends can depend that all the cars, all of the extra prizes and all of the cash payments on new subscriptions will be made promptly after the close of the campaign. So forget rumorse and work-that's the way to win your car.
