How the Allies ac cepted President Wilson's fourteen points In connection with nrmisticc ne gotiations vtas revealed for the first time bj the Dcbo dc Paris today. It was nt n meeting iu the, office of Stephen Pichon. foreign minister, on November .1. 3.01R. Previous meetings nt Xcrsaillcs had fixed the military con ditions of an eventual nrmisticc and the government chiefs bad met for final deliberation. DaUd Lloyd George, the British pre mier, the lho de Paris says, turned to Colonel House and declared: "If we have thoroughly understood Presi dent Wilson's thought the armistice ne gotiations which the American Govern ment is disposed to open with Germany in concert with the allied powers are subordinated by the acceptance by the said powers of the principles and con ditions of peace defined by the Presi dent on .Tnnuary 8 and in his subse quent speeches. In a word, we must give our assent to the fourteen points." Didn't Know What They Were OVER 14 PINTS Colonel House is reported to have . : answered that was so. Premier Clem euienu bioke in: "As for the fourteen points, 1 have not read them jet. Let me know what they are." Colonel House began, but after he. hail rcaa tue nrst point irciatnc to "open covenants of peace openly ar rived at"), M. Clcmenccau exclaimed: "That cannot be ncceptcd. You can not negotiate in the middle of a public street." A. J. Balfour, British secretary of state for foreign affairs, explained this point meant only publication of a re- suit, and not the steps by which they 1 were reached, and the French premier' answered : "In that case my objections fall to the ground." Many Hcservatlons Beading of the second pointi in which j Mr. Wilson declared in favor of "the, freedom of tbe seas," brought a reser vation from Premier Idoyd George, but tbe important third point (regarding tbo )t.f Ip;.Ii-.m1wTbw y Postuni Cereal Compam' tlc CicK.

After all the points havo been read M. Clcmenccau turned to Colonel House, enjingi "In case we reject the fourteen points what would happen?" "President Wilson would consider conversations he lias engaged in with the Allies on the subject of the armis tice as ended," was Colonel House's reply. "Would bo also consider as endprl ihn comersntlons ho began with the Ger- I tnnn. i (tnt nK.p V ' ' n.lp.il t f . T5 - Premier. "I can give you no assurance of that." replied Colonel House. At this dccislvo moment Premier Clemenceau pronounced the sacrameiitnl "Adopted."

The drink question was briefly discussed In both houses of Parliament yesterday. Earl Curzon told the Lords that thc,biU on this subject to bo introduced would contain pro visions for shorter hours of sale. The experiment of state management cer tainly would not be dropped, he said. In the House of Commons he sub ject was alluded to by Sir Donald Mac Lean. 1 "The fact that America has gone dry is nn economic fact of the gravest im portance to Grent Britain," ho said. He declared the British expenditure for drink absolutely staggered him. The country spent more thnn 1G1,000, 000 for drink in 101-1, he said, and this expenditure increased steadily until it was estimated that the expenditure for the year ending iMnreh 31 would bo nearly 400,000,000. The duty of 1018 was -48,500,000, he said, but was a form of revenue that all chancellors of the exchequer would be pleased to bo What "OU know clothes priced about that if they feel they can get their money's worth But most men want to savet they want to reduce the "high cost" if they can Good all-wool clothes do both They give you your money's worth in style and service They "reduce the cost" because they wear longer; you can get along with fewer clothes Ml, 'f Hart SchafFner & Marx Strawbridge & Distributors 0$ the FEBRUARY 11, nblo to dlspenso with.

OFFER FRANCE HUGE SUM Tobacco Growers' Monopoly Pro posal Interests French Cabinet Paris, Feb. 11. (By A. P.) Pro posals by four great tobacco growers' associations in the United States for an immediate loan of 00,000,000,000 frnncs In return for a concession in volving a tobacco monopoly in Frnncc were made bcveral months ago, but were rejected by Louis Klotz, tben min ister of finance, according to the Jour nal. The newt-paper has learned, It as serts, that the proposition has been re newed since Frederick Francois -Marsnl assumed the portfolio of finance. It has been discussed nt greater length by the present cabinet because of the seri ousness of the situation in the financial world, according to the newspaper, which sajs that the loan of 40,000, 000,000 francs was for the tobacco mo nopoly and the additional 20,000,000, 000 was to be conditional upon the granting of a monopoly for tho sale of matches. Government experts estimate the profit from the sale of tobacco In France at about 500,000,000 francs per jear. y o a a me tnuiQ to ao about clothes?
