The Mayor's Ire was aroused on his trip to City Hall this morning when ho noted about twenty automobiles parked nt Ilroad nnd Chestnut streets. Not one Hew the national colors.

Tho Major then ordered the suspension of pnrking privileges and issued this statement : These nutoinobllhtH use the city t-trcets nnd don't pny anything for this great privilege. The Mayor thought simple request to purchase n twpiify-fivc cent flag In honor of the soldiers who fought for this country nnd civilization should be heeded. I don't wonder that soldiers who came back home wounded mid unfit for work have a grievance. Hero nre people limply nblu to provide the na tional colors who cither neglect or refuse to do It. In his proclamation declaring this a holiday the Mayor had requested that flags be dhpluycd on nil automobiles and from business houses nud dwellings. Street venders- quickly learned that motorists required tings to pnrk their machines. The flag sellers did a land office business. Motorists complained that the venders "jacked" up their prices for ling of all sizes. Twenty -five cent Hags hold for fifty cents, and other prices were corresponding. In carryiug out tho spirit of the day, that no flags other than American should bo displayed, n patrolman had tho owner of a Chinese restaurant on Chestnut street tako In n Hug of the Chlncso republic. .

As the com mniider who won the wnr he will meet with grent acclaim. From the French point of view his visit will be good po litical strate-ry. International Conference Proposed One reason for the uncertainty ns to the time of Foch's coming Js tho vagueness of this country's plnns. The French naturally want to time FocIi'h presence in tills country most ef fectively. If an international confer ence is held in regard to the unsettled terms of peace, the various questions lu dispute attendisl to In Secretary Hughes' Ynp note, it probably would he unwise to have Foch's visit coin cide with that conference. His pres ence, in that case, would be dwarfed by the conference. Such a conference is the latest sug gestion and tli're are good grounds for believing that it hns been put forth semiofficially for the purpose of letting the Anierlcnii people know that the policy with respect to Europe is grad ually evolving. Such n conference would be consistent with Secretary Hughes' position in his notes regarding Ynp thnt tlte I'nited Stntes reserves Its, rights lu nil pence settlements, whether under the treaty of Versailles or under the League of Nations. It is known to have been President Hunting's iiuibition for a long time, ever since the meetings with the best minds, to ljnve nn international con ference at Washington which should complete the pacification of the world and lead to a new and practical asso ciation of the nations of the world. This idea was discussed by him with his visitors at Marion. Move by Administration Tin1 semiofficial suggestion of such a iiiiiferencc nt this time is obviously one move lu the contest between tho Stnte Department nnd the Senate. Ono weakness of the administration Is that It bus. m far as the public knows, no program. The proponents of the Knox resolution have a concrete plan, the uromiit making of peace by resolution. I The resistance In the Senate to the abandonment of its pet project almost forces the suggestion of some alterna tive by the administration. The cnlling of n conference whieli would biii.g representatives of Great Itritiiiu, France, Italy. Japan and Bel gium here would undoubtedly be a popular move. It would be fluttering to the national vanity to hnve the real peace nf the grent wnr made in Washington.

Hughes' gcniral policy, of which nn iutei-iintioiiiil conference hem may be a part, there is mm h to be said. It is a much broader idea than the I making of peace by resolution. It would ' settle, or attempt tn settle, all tho I disputed questions left by the Paris iimfeience tn double the peace of the world. Also, it starts off with nn in sistence upon American rights us uu nfTcctcil by a treaty which we have not accepted ami by a league of nations of which we are not a member.
