18 PLAN APARTMENT HOUSE DE LUXE Du Pont and Associates Will Build $4,000,000 Home For Themselves New York.—Apartments of a luxury hitherto unknown, ranging from suites of 28 rooms and 10 bath rooms to the more common throe room and bath variety, are called for in the plans for a 16-story building to cost J4,000,000, which will occupy the entire block front between Forty-ninth and Fiftieth streets on the west side of Park avenue. The property, which has been leas ed for 21 years at an aggregate rental of $2,000,000 by a syndicate of buyers, including T. Coleman du Pont, Dallas Hache Pratt, Benjamin McAlpin, Arthur Coppel, B. B. Dun ham and B. M. Boomer, will furnish apartments for the buyers' personal use. Whether rental of the remain ing suites will be restricted to friends has not been announced as yet. Bouis Sherry, the noted restaura teur, who a few months ago sold his interest in the famous establishment at Forty-fourth street and Fifth ave nue, will act as caterer for those liv ing in the building. He will run a large restaurant on the ground floor, for which ballrooms, diningrooms, luncheon apd tea rooms and break fast rooms arc also provided. Modern as are the architectural plajis for the structure, the eradica tion of the servant problem through the maintenance of a force of cooks, butlers, maids, doormen, chamber maids and valets by the house is a . new departure that will be watch ed with interest by hundreds of families who have been unable to keep their servants regardless of the wages they might be willing to pay. All worries about meals will be as sumed by the large force that will 'work under Mr. Sherry's direction. Breakfast in bed will be as simple a matter under this arrangement as in private homes. No detail looking toward the com fort and convenience of the oc cupants of the building is overlooked in the plans. All the men whose money is going into the venture have very distinct and practical ideas of luxury and of what they will want to satisfy their own desires. Many members of the syndicate have had large hotel interests at dif ferent, times. Cost of Living in Odessa 300 Times That Preceding War Berwick, Eng.. Dec. 23. —The cost of living in Odessa is about 300 times more than before the war, says Miss Bussell, sister of the local food con troller, who has just returned from that Russian city She lived there for two and one-half years. A pair of boots, she says, cost from 2,000 to 3,000 rubles—a year's sal ary—and a dress was only to be had at a similar ruinous figure. In Odes sa the day before she left the Eng lish pound was equivalent to 800 rubles instead of less than 10 as in • pre-war days. "The Bolsheviki," she explanied, "are Communists and the principle of the Communists is everything for themselves and nothing for the rest. The others they say have had their turn, and they treat them with ruth less cruelty. Bife for the educated people is utterly impossible. Those who have money are fast eating into their capital; those who have not are dying of starvation. That also is an expensive business, for the cost of coffins has reached a prohibitive llgure." U. S. to Put Stop to Firing Over Line Washington. Dec. 23. T T nless I President Carranza and Francisco I "Villa want the American forces on I the border to take a hand in the lighting between their respective forces they would do well to keep out of range of the Rio Grande. This was made clear at the State and War Departments when atten tion was colled to the Mexico City report that Villa has been located in the Pino Mountains of Coaliuila, near the Rio Grande. It was recalled that when Villa sacked Muzquiz on Tuesday of last week, remaining in the town until the following Saturday, he announc ed that he was heading for the Pino Mountains, where he would await payment of ransom for two Ameri cans and several well to do Mexicans whom he Carried off. The Ameri cans were subsequently released without ransom. When American troops crossed the international bridge between El Paso and Juarez on the night of June 15-16, 1919, and smashed the Villa force which attacked the Juarez garrison and was firing across the line, killing and wound ing persons in El Paso, they made short work of the rebels. The same thing will be repeated in the event that Carranzlstas and Villistas get together again near the border and send stray shots across. The border patrol is alert to-day, and additional forces will be moved toward the Rio Grande at points where the prospective fight between the opposing Mexican forces is like ly to come close to the international line.

Dee. 23.—Although the Chamber of Deputies yesterday voted confidence in the government by the narrow margin of 242 tot 216, Premier Nitti had aroused the en thusiasm of the entire chamber be fore the vote when he said: "Nobody naed fear that Italy will he nrawn inro new wars without the will of the people and Parliament.

J TUESDAY EVENING, TRADERS TAKE SPIES' PLACES Bankers, Merchants and Sales men Fill Hotels at the Hague The "Hague, Dec. 23. —Trade con ferences between bankers, merchants and salesmen of the Entente coun tries and central powers have suc ceeded the mysterious gatherings of spies in the hotels here and at Amsterdam. The iron, steel, shoes, ships and sealing wax of commerce are the topics instead of the routes of submarines, troop ships and food ships. Whatever may be the opinion in America, or England, or France, re garding resumption of business with Germany and Austria, the represen tatives of the business concerns of those countries show nothing but a keen desire for such trade at the conferences here. The other day, at one of the Hague hotels the groups seated in the lobby, engaged in earnest conversation on trade subjects, included: One English ship owner and di rector of one of Germany's biggest Trans-Atlantic lines; i j DIVES, POMEROY & STEWART] | The Store Will be Open This Evening and Tomorrow Evening Until 9| !A Delayed Holiday Ship- More Books Will be Given This Christmas Rich Hand Bags of Crepe I ment of Dinner Sets; - Than in Any Former Seal, Pin Seal, Velvet | 3 .

HARRISBURG %£&&& TELEGRAPH SEES BUSINESSMAN AS NEXT PRESIDENT Samueel M. Vauclain Declares People Will Demand "Grim Administralor;" Don't Want "Legislator" t'hiladclphiu, 1 Dec. 23. —People will demand that the next President of the United States be a "grim ad ministrator," not u "legislator," an executive who will handle the Gov ernment as a great public business should be handled, according to Samuel M. Vauclain. president of the Baldwin Bocomotive Works. "According to my point of view." he soys, "we want an administrator. By that 1 mean we have enough legislation on the statute books now, whut we need most is an executive to properly administer affairs. "The time has come when the Government must* be handled as a great public business. The proper basis would be to conduct the Gov ernment with a minimum overhead, yet not to be nigardly, for the Gov ernment must be in keeping with the dignity of the Nation. "Remember, the United States is the one place on earth where the poor man can live properly. This is a poor man's country, and should be kept a poor man's country. Every effort of the chief executive should be directed toward that end. "The opportunity to-day for the poor boy is greater than ever be fore, und we should keep it so. There ls .no country in the world like this due —no country in the world occupying our present position. All we require is a good, wholesome, clear-sighted administration. This will benefit the plain people, and if they benefit all will benefit. "The country ut large cannot prosper and benefit and be success ful unless the plain people prosper and are successful too. "To conduct affairs of Government as I have outlined will require strength of character, foresighted ness and grim executive ability. We will find the right man somewhere. 1 don't believe the next President will be chosen because of his po litical reputation. I believe the peo ple will demand a business admin stration. "We must not start out with the idea that all the administrators of this government are incompetent or dishonest, but we do want for next President a man wi}h strength and determination, to serve the country as an administrator rather than a mere legislator." Armed Men Patrol Banking Districts Over Philadelphia Philadelphia, Dee. 23.— Extra pre cautions are being taken in banks nnd trust companies and in large jewelry establishments in this city in view of the large number of hold-ups and other robberies committed re cently. Armed detectives patrol the bank ing districts and special guards are on duty in banking institutions. Ail elaborate system of alarms has been Installed. Depositors at several local banks in the last few days have noticed, convenient to the hands of tellers, business-like revolvers. Th p weapons are part of a svstem perfected recently in which electric bells, automatic door-closing devices, vault alarms and private guards play an Important part. While this city has witnessed nu merous bold robberies in the last few weeks, particularly in Jewelry stores, tlie professional crooks have avoided "gun work" in local banks. According to private detectives en gaged when the crime wave rose in this city, the methods now in force are so designed that escape becomes almost impossible even if bandits get into a bank and garner a small har vest of currency.
