Foreign Derivative.

The word booze has found Its way
into the dictionaries. although some
of them mark it "colloquial." Its de-
rivation is probably from the German
word bausen, which means to drink.
therefore booze might be regarded as
a word adapted from foreign Ian
guage rather than as a slang word.

HUGHES MAY NOT
ATTEND PARLEY
Doubts II He Can Take Part
in Santiago Pan-Ameri-
can Conference.

The possibility that Secretary
Hughes will be able to make his pro-
posed trip to attend the Pan-Ameri-
can conference next month at San
tiago, Chile, is becoming more doubt
full.
1t was said today at the department
that while Mr.. Hughes is still de-
ferring a final decision as to whether
It would be wise for him to leave the
capital at this time, he feels 1t may
prove impracticable to make the pro-
jected visit to South America owing
to the general European situation and
uressure of other matters In his de-
partment.
The Secretary was back at his desk
today after several days confinement
to his home with a mild attack of in
fuenza.
He was said to be anxious to ac-
cept the invitation of the Chilean and
other South American governments
for various visits on his way to and
from Santiago, but to feel increasing g
doubt that he could absent himself
riod Of time necessary or be at. such
a distance from Washington while
matters in Europe are In their pres
ent confused state duo to tho Ruhr
situation particularly.
At the moment State Department
officials can see no opportunity for
American helpfulness in the Ruhr sit
uation. Suggestions as to mediation
between France and Germany which
are made in unofficial advices from
Europe give no prospect OF bearing
fruit at present, it was said. since
there is no reason to believe that
mediation proposals by the United
States or any other power not direct
ly concerned would be welcome to the
French or to the Germans

PARIS, February is.-Meager de-
tails Of the occupation Of the neutral
zone between Poland and Lithuania
received in official circles in Paris in
dicate there has been action on both
sides. Dispatches from Polish sources
10 the foreign Office say that as soon
as the Poles completed the occupation
of that part of the zone given them
by the council Of the leagueaof ma
tions the Lithuanians began firing
with artillery upon the points oc-
cupied.
At the Lithuanian legation here it
was declared the Poles had not only
occupied their own part Of the neu-
trail zone, but had crowded over into
the part assigned to the Lithuanians
by the league. 1t also was averred
that the Polish frontier guards and
officials needed for the administration
of the region were accompanied by
troops of all arms, contrary to the
decision of the league council, which.
while allowing the claimants each to
administer part Of the zone, intend
cd the zone should remain neutral
as far as military operations were
concerned.
The impression voiced In French Of
fetal circles is that the Lithuanians
are carrying out the threat they made
IN the league council to resist the oc-
cupation Of any part of the zone bv
the Poles. Lithuania has an army
OF about $4,000 men.
