" JEWELRY S 1 FEARED E Uneasiness In Peace Circles Over the Disputed Territory Jugo Slavs in Paris Are Becoming Apprehensive. Situation Grows Serious PARIS, Sept. 25. Uneasiness Is growing in peace conference circles in regard to tho Flume situation. It Is feared that the movement as started by Gabriole d'Annunzio may spread to other parts of the Dalma tian coast and result In the occu pation of Zara, Cattaro and other towns, with large Italian popula tions located in the districts whore the majority of Inhabitants are the Jugo-Slavs. The Jugo-Slav delegation in Paris is extremely apprehensive and the situation generally is regarded as one which might conceivably devel op into serious war. The general disposition at first in several of the entente delegations here was to regard d'AnnunzIo's movement as a beautiful romance. This disposition apparently is dis appearing as the realization is be coming general that Greece or even Germany might adopt similar tactics to gain control of the disputed terri tory. No reply has been received from President Wilson to the proposed compromise of tho differences re garding Flume. The compromise p.n in final form did not leave Paris until last Wednesday and delays In cable transmission, as well as the process of decoding would consume several days. CEMETERY LOT Fire Acres of Land Located on the State Highway Have Been Pur chased and Will Be Immediately Improved Rev. Hugh J.

The land is located on the state highway, about' half way between this city and the Pell can Bay mill and directly opposite tho Coter Brothers brick yard. It has a western slope, deep soil and centrally enough located to make it accessible and at the same time far enough away from the residence sec tion to remove any objection that might arlso to its location. Father Marshall plans immediate improvement of the plot. He will have it platted, the sage brush re moved, the ground levelled, fences erected and a well driven, so as to insure sufficient water for the main tenance of a lawn, trees, shrubbery and plants. In one cornor will be erected an open chapel, where mass may bo celebrated and other serv ices conducted.
