' President Li Yuan-Hung is said to have telpehoned the police to come md get the waiTant for Lo's arrest. Hwang Ti-Lien, director of the treasury department, who was with Lo Weng-Kan when the latter was arested, also was taken to^olice headquarters, but whether he is actually under arrest is not definitely known.

' New York, Nov. 19 (By the Assbciated Pfess).?Georges Clemenceau, war premier of France, motored to Oyster Bay today and laid a wreath On the grave of Theodore 'Roosevelt. ' The gray, old Tiger, himself an apostle of preparedness, spoke no word as he stood before the grave of America's "wielder of the big stick." But he was visibly moved. His keen eyes took in every detail of the littie fenced-in- enclosure that has become a shrine for" many Americans. Then he stood for a moment more with a far away look, deeply immersed in thought. Finally he turned away and trudged slowly down the winding path of Young's cemetery and motored to Roosevelt's home: " While others of the party rang the door bell an'd waited for the door to ho opened, Clemenceau turned abruptly and walked off down the broad veranda where Roosevelt used to sit to watch the sail boats on Oyster Bay. He walked all the way to the rear of the house, closely inspecting the long, low structure, stately, but .4 Ut tlic OUU1IUIC, Archie Roosevelt, who served as a soldier in France, hurried to the veranda to greet him and conducted him into the house, where Mrs. Roosevelt greeted him. He spent some time in Roosevelt's famous troply room. Then he drove back to the Manhattan residence of Charles Dana Gibson. Before he started down Long I?lnnd, the Tiger visited Herman Kohlsaat, publisher, intimate friend of McKinley and drafter of the "Fa-, mous gold plank" of 1896, who is ill nt the Biltmore. Other events of the day include a brief meeting with General Pershing at the Gibson home and a visit to thej country estate of Otto H. Kahn at. Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island.

WOULD IMPEACH ATTORNEY GENERAL ? Washington, Nov. 19.?Announcement that they intended to "vigorously pres ismpeachment proceedings against the f attorney general" was made in a joint statement today by Representative KeKller (Republican! of Minnesota, who presented the original impeachment charges to the house, and Representative Woodruff (Republican) of Michigan. "We will Hot be deterred from our insistence that the judiciary committee act upon the resolution to enable the impeachment of Mr. Daugherty to proceed to trial before the senate," said'the statmeent. "We demand that the judiciary committee hear the evidence against Daugherty or state openly that it refuses to let the country know how he has conducted himself in office." At the time the Keller charges were considered by the judiciary committee, prior to the present recess, it was decided to postpone the formal hearing demanded by Mr. Keller until early in the regular sesion next month. "The election results demonstrate," said the statement, "that the people are determined that graf and corruption shall be eliminated from the federal government. The fitness of Mr. Daugherty to hold office was one of the main issues of the campaign in many states. This issue was emphasi '.ed by speeches and the platforms op successful candidates for both houses of congress and wherever Daughertyism was an issue, those candidates were elected regardless of their party affiliations. By their votes the people have demanded thai the office of attorney general of the United States be filled by a man of unquestioned integrity." ActiQn on the impeachment charges j against hitn- "should be disposed of as promptly as possible, both in justice to the government and to me as attorney general," Mr. Daugherty declared ni a letter to Representative Volstead, chairman of the house judicbwry committee, made public tonight. The attorney general asked that he be sent a copy of the charges and declared he ? would "be glad to through the press of the introduction! of the resolution seeking his lm-| peachment while he was personally engaged in the trial and argument of an important government case in the federal court in Chicago," and that before he was able to return to Washington congress had adjourned. He' had been advised, he said, that the committeed had decided to hear testimony in support of the resolution December 4.

Robertson, al- * legnig that he released a murder con- 1 vict from the state penitentiary "to * kill the county attorney of Okmulgee v county" the chief executive today * said he could not believe a pubjie of- ^ ficial would stoop so low as to make fc the charge. The governor's statement was prompted by charges made last night v, by James Hepburn, county attorney. ,| Mr. Hepburn asked for a review of w the change of venue to Ada, Okla., ^ granted the governor by the district judge, I* B.

Governor Robertson said he had rereived nothing but press reports concerning the petition by the Okmulgee county attorney and until the charges 1 were actually placed before him he a found them hard to believe. 1 "I hesitate to believe that such ac- ir tiohs and charges are embodied in the motion," said the governor in his ^ statement. "If motion contains an ^ Allegation that 1 paroled a prisoner ^ to kill the county attorney of Ok ^ mulgee county' it could have no ef- j, feet obbn the proceedings involving laic ? . to believe nnd it is made at this time for the tj sole purpose of trying to create publie sentiment against me on the eve p of my case going on trial at Ada."

' r * WAR CLOUDS ARE GATHERING Paris, Nov. 19 (By the Associated Press).?While the Lausanne conferince has assembled to brine to a final iettlement the last series of wars that re re part and parcel of the great European conflict, there is still much peculation as to whether peace or >ar will be the outcome of that cone re nee. In many quarters it is felt hat if peace is signed it will be in ffect a mere truce. On the other hand, it is known that ie Greeks arc already seeking loans 'hereby they may be able to equip icir army and make up for the losses 'hich they rutfered during the repeat in Asia Minor. The Greeks feel lat if they he'd Saloniki it must be y their own hands; they have befoie iem the lesson of the manner in hich the allies gave a large portion I Thrace to the Turks. On the other hand it is known the urks for the moment are short of jwder. While they are endeavoring > conclude and maintain peace so ir as concerns Europe, if it appears ecessary to their new national in rests, they would not hesitate to se force of arms to back up what '.ey fell to be their rights. The urks have plenty of new field rrurs. iptured from the Greeks, not countig a large number of machine guns nd others they bought last year in i blots from the United States, rench, if-alia n and British equipment rms. However, such a condition is not emnrrassing to the Turks, who are ware that n large number of Russian lunition works afe actively engaged i the manufacturing of heavy guns nd powder. Whether the Russians 111 be able tc sell to the Turks the trge quantities of powder needed in todern war is a question, but muniion experts iwint out that the Turks, oubtless will be able to purchase torn other sources if the Russians ' .h tit they might need the supplies for -jj aelr own purposes. ' ^ "i Although Germpny has no lunition plants working, it is certain | bat German interests control large S'ovmk'a. _ ny solirce at present, with no munL ion buying cn a large scale by any f the great powers. Military observrs are keeping sharp eyes on Rusin's activities, with the fact patent nut the Balkans and Central Europe ontinually present possibilities of a inflict, due to unsettled frontiers. It is not believed that Soviet Rusia is manufacturing munitions with ny definite war in view, inasmuch as er western European propaganda as failed, but it is pointed out that he may be hoping tao win a place in European councils through the trength of her army. % 1 " ' Central School Honor Roll ) First Grade?Helen Carnell, Grace jodshall, Sara James, Eloise Johnson, daude Johnson, Mary Kelly.
