British authorities believe that since
the allies neither admitted nor discussed
'the claim, but merely submitted It for
the consideration of the respective gov
Vkrnmtnti, either one of two courses may
'now be followed.
. First. The allied governments may act
individually and open direct negotiations

raris. March 13. By rejecting the
government committee's proposal to
erect the 1924 Olympic stadium at Aut-
eull, and voting only 1,000,000 francs
subsidy for the project, the city of
Paris has so discouraged the promoters
of the games that many are contem- j havej from five to ten Russian soldiers
plating 'resigning outright and asking
the International committee to award
the Olympics to some other nation.
The municipal council, while conced
Ing that the site at Auteuil will be more ;
accessible to parts, nas decided to hold
the games at the Pershing stadium at
Joinville-Lepont, and thus .economize on
expenditures.
This action by the city has aroused
the wrath of such active spirits as Count
Clary, Chairman of the games committee,
who informed the United News :
If. before the end of March we have
rot found the necessary funds to equip
the grounds, we shall be obliged to sur
render the games."
Frantz Reichel, secretary of the com
mittee, declared the " "niggardly policy"
of the city of Paris "makes us ridicu
lous to foreign peoples." The Americans,
for one, are anxious to step in and as
sume responsibility for the games if the
French are not. he said.
Deputy Vidal, chairman of the govern
ment Olympics committee, deplored the
Iiossibllity of any other country taking
over the athletic contests.
"In spite of everything." he said, "the
games should be organized in Paris. Let
us not give the world the spectacla of
our nation being incapable to organize
such an event.
Best Information Indicates that the
whole question of France's retention of
the 1924 Olympic rests with President
Millerand. It is known that he had the
full support of the Poincare cabinet,
which is anxious to retain the games in
Paris and us the advertising which
would thus be given to sports, to boost
athletic activity and build up a jaded
and war-tired nation
quartered in one household.
"Towns are in a still worse plight.
Not only the huge Russian army, but
thou sands of refugees who followed in
the wake of the army must be fed. All
national life in Georgia is suppressed.
In the! anniversary of the bolshevist in
vasion, Georgians met and demanded
the Evacuation iof the Russian army.

Camden. N. J., March 13. Find the
beautiful blonde snake charmer.
That is the word sent out today by
detectives and police investigating the
mysterious circumstances surrounding
the murder of Honest John Brunen,
friend of William D. Taylor, film di
rector, who was slain in Los Angeles.
Certain phases of the two murders, es
pecially since the woman theory is given
some credence in the Brunen slaving, in
dicate that the assassin of the circus man
might know something .concerning the
film land tragedy.
Theories advanced indicate that the
showman may have been slain for re
venge or because he had intimate knowl
edge of Taylor's death.
The hunt for the circus girl is premised
on the fact that for several weeks the
Brunen home, a pretty villa in River
side, near here, has been called on the
telephone by a woman who asked, "Is
John Brunen home?
Before receiving an answer, she broke
off the conversation. Also a blonde
woman, In fetching sports clothes, was
seen near the Brunen home a short time
before the murder and the person who
killed the showman left footprints' too
small to be made by a man's shoe, it is
said.
Brunen had a premonition of death.
On Friday evening he rushed ' into his
home and declared he had been followed
Dy a motor car from the station. He
told his wife he feared he would be
killed and added that he would die "with
his boots on."

iRocldedge, FUu, March 13. President
Harding approves the action taken by
Secretary Hughes in Washington in sup
port of the four-power Pacific treaty.
Cruising up this little hamlet along
the Indian river Sunday afternoon.
Harding established his first contact
with the outside world since leaving
New Smyrna,. Saturday evening. And
his first observation had to do with the
treaty developments In Washington.
"That's fine." he declared when told of
Hughes entering the fight on behalf of
the pact "I'm very glad he did it."
POWER FACT FOUSDATIOJr
In connection with Hughes' letter and
Harding's attitude, it must be kept in
mind that Harding regards the Pacific
pact as the foundation stone of the
whole group of arms conference treaties.
On its formulation all the other con
ference work was based, and upon its
ratification now depends whether rati
fication of the other treaties can go for
ward. When the presidential house party
drew up to the pier here a crowd of
some hundred townspeople who had
heard of his movements., went down to
the pier to greet him. With them came
Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Kllng, the
brother and sister-in-law of Mrs. Hard
ing-. The K lings had hoped to persuade
their distinguished relatives to leave the
boat for a time, but plans would not
permit.
CUT OFF FROM WORLD
After a few minutes of conversation
and handshaking the President and Mrs,
Harding waved farewell to the group
and the houseboat, towing a row boat.
pulled out into the stream again and
once more the nation's executive was cut
off from alt contact with the - world.
A handful of newspapers, 'all of them

respondents had been able to pick up
along the way of their route in follow
ing the party by land, constituted his
latest and only touch with business.
The whole party looked benefitted by
their vacation, all of them having ac
cumulated a ruddy glow from sun and
air.
Only one stop was made by the house
boat en route to this point. Because of
shallow waters it was found necessary
to anchor during Saturday night north
of Titusville and wait until daylight
made progress safer down this tricky
river.
TRAYELS SLOWLY
The boat is able to average only about
eight miles an hodr, which, barring ac
cidents or another change in schedule.
wtQ permit it to drop anchor either off
Vero or Fort Pierce, Monday morning,
so that the president may have a golf
game at one of these places.
The president Is now nearing political
dynamite In the form of the American
Legion meeting at West Palm Beach.
While he has declined an Invitation to
address the convention', members of the
party are exerting all their persuasive
powers to have him stop at Palm Bach
and also Miami. If he yields, be prob

schedule and make the trip back by

of ths German divorce court judge's, as
he following decision seems to show. A
woman who was suing her husband for
divorce petitioned the court to turn their
flat over to her and forbid her husband
going ' near It. The husband, however.
protested, declaring that as ths result
of housing shortage, he was unable to
'ind new quarters and would have no
place to live in if the court granted
his wife's petition. Judges decided that
he flat should be divided, each party
being ; given several rooms into which
the other was not permitted to enter.
The! husband's bright lawyer then
raised' the question as to whom was to
get the bathroom. The judges scratched
their heads, held a - long conference and
then decided that each party was to use
the bath room at certain hours which
were jiot conflicting. The husband and
wife seemed satisfied, but shook their
heads , emphatically when the presiding
judge 'smilingly expressed the hope that
they would get along so nicely in the
divided flat that It would not toe neces
