Paris.—The preliminary peace treaty will be ready by Easter and the Germans will be asked to come and sign it at the e»d of April or the be ginning of May, Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain declared in ah inter view with Stephane Lauzanne, editor of The Matin. In answer«to a remark by M. Lau sanne that what troubled public opin ion was not io much the delay, as the secrecy in which the peace negotia tions were wrapped and the fear that there was some divergence of opin ion, the" British premier said: “I affirm absolutely that there is no divergence among the negotiators. They are often confronted with tech nical difficulties which can only be settled^after. close study. Take the questions of reparation. In substance the allies have one common principle, which I once set forth thus: ‘Ger many must pay up to the last farthing of her power.’ “But is it sufficient to draw up a bul and hand it to the enemy?

Must we not be able to say to our adversary when he pleads inadequacy of re sources: ‘Yes, you can go as far as that and you must do it and you must do that.’ In a word, shall we simply present a bill or collect the money, all the money possible? vCVll, this is where the work comes in.” The confident statement of Premier Lloyd George that the peace treaty will be concluded by Easter is sup ported by predictions repeatedly made by less prominent members of the peace conference and dispelled much of the hopelessness and uncertainty in which many important problems of the conference seemed to have been enshrouded. ' WOULD JOIN IN REGUEST TO * FIX THE PRICE OF COTTON Topeka, Kan.—Governor Allen, of Kansas, declared he was ready to Join in an appeal to the federal govern ment to fix a guaranteed price for cotton/except that which was in the hands of speculators, in a telegram sent to W.

Th's guarantee, of course, Paris.^—Reassuring newrf from Pres ident Wilson’s bedside was sent to the peace delegates, although the news in dicated that the President’s condition was such as to make it advisable that he remain in his room. Study of the case has caused Rear Admiral Grayson, the President’s phy sician, to reach the conclusion that the President is not suffering from in fluenza, but that the severity of the cold is such the patient will • require careful watching. The illness of President Wilson has caused numerous wild ruiflors to circulate in the city, and not even the delegates themselves are im mune. Colonel House had heard that the president was really down with a case of influenza but Rear Admiral Grayson personally assured both him and the premiers that Mr. Wilson merely had a bad cold. He warned them, however, that the utmost care must be exercised to prevent it from getting worse T,,r»rmqnv fne p»nrPPrtbngs- of -’ he council were related to the president King Albert of Belgium, who present ed his country’s case to the council made an excellent impression, but It is understood to have been given no WRIGLEYS good, we must KEEP It good until you get it.

" V Paris.—Belgium’s case has. ben laid before the peace conference by the most distinguished ( advocate Belgium could have chosen. King Albert has been in Paris for the past three days and in numerous conferences with tlTe representatives of the great pow ers he has outlined the needs of his country and told of the steps that must be taken immediately if Belgium is to be restored. A member of the Belgian peace dele gation told the Associated Press today that, shorn of all its diplomatic nice ties, what King Albert told the coun cil, might be summarized thus: - “The time of promises has passed. If Belgium is to live, the council must act." The Associated Press is able to state that three questions of vital im mediate importance to- the reestab lishment of- Belgium, financially, eco nomically and politically, were dis cussed. The first question was the immediate advance to Belgium of about ten billion francs, the second, the .exportation to Belgium from Eng- i.-nd and the United States of raw materials and he third- the cession ot Belgium of the left hank of the L’Eseaut river and the Lemberg penin sular. / The Flavor Lasts % % SEALED TIGHT KEPT RIGHT Jr M 25 111 NORTH CAROLINA WANTS HER OWN REGIMENTS TO PARADE Columbia, S.
