ruto peaec, wild I'ieter Troclntni,
Dutch Hocialist leader and ehairman
of the executive eonmiilli e, in an in-,
terview today with the AxKoeinted
I'reH. He xpokc liit of the decis
ion of the French Mocialisls not to
Komi delegate to Stockliolm, kii.v
iiiK that in Hpite of thin action French
KocialiHtx would he represented, if
merely by minority dilealcH. lie wiik
nniindcd of the assertion made in
Franco that the only tiling the con
ference could accomplish would he to
further a proprum lor u Hepiuiite
peace,
"That is the last thing in the world
it will do," he said. "'c are not
Working for u Kcpnrale peace and
do not dcHiro it. What we want is
universal peace anil wo believe the
time Iiiik como when there is u chance
of nehiovinor it. We are most opti
mistic, ah to the outlook."
Conference I,ohk I'lnnnil,
"Hnvo you noted," he wnx usked,
"that the French based their refusal
partly on the allegation that the
culling of the conference was due
to agitation from (lenniin and Aus
trian Hourecst"
Tho Dutch leader emphatically re
pudiated tho statement, saving;
"Ah long ago as last August the
idea olj this confcrcnca hud taken
Kluipe and the executive commillce
! had bcKun laying )iit'.. dme tirrie
Jiiter we received a letter fn,in M(,r-
rirf llilliiiit of .Vw York saving that
the American ttociulisl demanded
that u sace conference be beh not
later thaan March 1 and that it' we
did not call one they would.. We
askeil them to wait until the middle
of March, tl is absolutely untrue
to v we arc meeting at Herman or
Aiwtnan i-(;ticitation or instigation.
We have been urged to take this step
not onlv by Americans but by Danes
Norwegians and others. The coming
conference will be neutral in every
senve of the word, desimicd to serve
no cause except tbe cause of uni
versal peace. We are holding it at
this time because conditions now
seem favorable, especially in view of
the Itiissian revolution."
rrriinlnerit MenilerH Arriving.
Other iirooiinent socialists have ar
rived in Stockholm for the coming
conference, including M. Stoning,
Danish minister without portfolio,
the Dutch senator. Van Kol and llerr
Albania. The lirst of the prelimi
nary sessions will be held on Satur
day in the socialist party's room in
the parliament building. Tt will be
presided over bv lljalnmr Uranling,
the Swedish socialist leader. Camille
lluysmans, the Itelgian socialist lead
er and Kfaile Vandcrvadc, Belgian
minister of munitions, will he here in
a few days.
The preliminary meetings and the
assembling of delegates are likely to
lake more time than had been expect
ed and it is probable the convention
will not assemble until a lew days
lifter M'ny l"i, the time originally set.

CHEAP MERCHANDISE is not cheap when you consider value. One day a lady was looking at our Dress
Goods. We didn't sell her then; she said she could buy the same piece from one of the so-called lower-priced-stores
10c a yard less. She was tempted and bought. Recently she was in and mentioned her cheaper purchase
with much regret and disappointment, for, with the expense of trimming and making the CHEAPER DRESS
and when once wet, it proved very unsatisfactory.
HER HEMARKS Typical of many, and true "I have traded with THE M. M. STORE for years, and was
always satisfied; but thought I saw a chance to save a few cents on my dress, but have lost dollars by so doing.
But never again; I shall hereafter stay with the Good Goods Store." Everything being equal, we are entitled
to your business. We never misrepresent and stand ready at all times to make your purchase absolutely satisfactory.
