" SUGAR PILFERING :
IS LATEST FAD.
,. Nrw York, Dec. 23. Sugar .now
being almost as costly as coal, some
resourceful New York "women have
introduced a new fashion which bids
fair to become popular. A conversa
tion overheard between two richly
aftireft women ' revealed the inner
workings of the idea. "'
"What is that petty little velvet
covered box you're carrying?" in
quired one of the women of licr
companion.
"Sh-hl Not so loud, my dear.
That's my sugar box. I always
carry it now when I go to a
restaurant or cabaret"
"You carry your own sugar in
that to supplement the small por
tions?" .
"Oh, my, no," was the answer.
"When I dine out and see any sugar
lying around on the table or in
sugar 'bowls, I just fill my little
camouflaged container. Novel, eh?'
The jdea for the new American
fashion was said to have originated
from , the, use of "le sucrjere" or
"the sugar carrier" by French
women for several years past.

' Newark, N. )., Dec. 23. Shake
speare's "Merchant of Venice" is to

cause of its effect on the minds of
non-Jewish children." In approving
a request from the Anti-Defamation
league of Chicago that the play be
banned, the board of education's in
struction committee asserted that
its -action was based neither upon
"the embarrassment which may be
caused Jewish students in the class,

ness," but because non-Jewish chil
dren "subconsciously will associate
in their minds the Jew as Shake
speare portrayed him with the Jew
of today."
"Children are not analyisj,' said
a statement issued by the commit
tee. ".The Jew of Shakespeare lives
in the mind of the child as the Jew

OF DANIELS
Rumblings of Dissatisfaction
Within Navy at Manner of
Arranging Reward for Serv

ADMIRAL SAYS SOME
- OFFICERS ARE SLIGHTED
Letter to Secretary of Navy
Climax to Published Charges
That Daniels Had Re-
arranged List of Awards.
j
Washington, Dec. 23. Rumblings
of dissatisfaction within the navy at
the way' Secretary Daniels has ar
ranged the awards of decoration for
war, service, came to the surface to
day when it became known that Ad
miral Sims, former commander of
American naval forces in European
waters, had declined to accept his
distinguished service medal, while
the awards remain as at present.
At the same time the row which
hd to this time has been a smoulder
ing one, gave intentions of showing
up in congress. Chairman Page of
the senate naval committee asked
for a report jon the awarding of the
decorations and Secretary Daniels
transmitted it to him tonight. Mean
while Representative Lufkin of
Massachusetts, a member of the
house naval committee, announced
that he would ask the house to call
for a similar report.
Climax to Published Charges.
Coming as the -climax to pub- '
lished, charges that Secretary Dan
iels had rearranged ' the whole list
of awards, raising some officers to
higher distinction than recommended
and "blue penciling" 'others, publi
cation of Admiral Sims' action cre
ated a new sensation in the Navy
department and added a new chap
ter to the long contest in which
some naval officers have complained
of the secretary's administration of
affairs and others have defended him
with equal vigor.
The whole thing has been brought
to" a head by the action of Admiral
Sims, who, writing an official conj
munication to Secretary Daniels, has
set out that officers for whom he
recommended the distinguished serv
ice --medal highest of all naval dec
orations except the congressional
medal of honor received by the
secretary's revisTon a decoration oi
lesser value, and that other offi
cers whose duties and services Ad
miral Sims considered as of lesser
value received by the revision the
more valued decorations. At the
same time it develops, Admiral Sims
sent franked copies of his letter to
many naval officers in Washington.
His action1 became known first
through them, and later today Mr.
Daniels gave out the letter, with
out comment. Earlier in the day,
however, Mr. Daniels had an
nounced that he had prepared the
report asked for by Senator Page
and tonight after transmitting it to
the senator, made public copies of
it v. .
Asks Revision Upward.
Admiral Sims in his letter, - does
not appear to refuse his decoration
unconditionally. He refused it un
der the conditions he outlined and
he asked , for an opportunity to ex
plain the seasons for his original
recommendations. Besides that, the
admiral does not ask that the high-

Fiume Situation Still Obstacle
to Establishment of Peace
in Europe, Clemenceau Tells
French Chamber.
VOTE OF C0NFIQENCE
IS GIVEN TO PREMIER
Expresses Opinion Military
Guarantees Offered France
by Great Britain and Wil
son Will Not Be Questioned.
Paris, Dec. 23. The chamber of
deputies voted confidence in the
government, 458 to 71. The vote,
which carried approval of Premier
Clemenceau's program, was taken
after the chamber had listened; to
his declaration on the determina
tion of the allies to crush bolshev
ism, his confidence in the Anglo-Franco-American
pacts, his predic
tion of a solution of the Fiume
problem, and his understanding:
with Premier Lloyd George of
Great Britain.
M. Clemenceau fold the chamber
that President Wilson and Great
Britain had offered military pacts.
Certain points in the peace treaty
had been questioned but there were
no serious objections to the military
arrangement. . ,
To Solve Fiume Situation.
The premier added that the latest
indications were that the Fiume sit
uation would be solved, "and then
only can we breathe freely."
M. Clemenceau' appealed to the
chamber to work hard and talk lit
tle. He said the cabinet at the end
of the remaining weeksof its tenure
of office would give its resignation
to the president and added: :
"It will not be an exit by one door
to enter by, another." ;
" Asked by Marcel Cashiu, socialist,
if he ought not to give -an unquiet
country explanations of the treaty
and the Anglo-American military
pacts, M. Clemenceau said: ,
"I did not ask for these military
puarantees. They were offered by
England and President Wilson. I
do not believe they will be ques
tioned. Although certain points of
the treaty have been discussed thei;e
is no serious objection to the guar
antees." Questioned, on Russia.
During the discussion on the Lon
don conferences Ex-Premier Bar
thou questioned M. Clemencau on
Russia, and the premier eaid Russia
had been discussed previously, but
added:
"I will telf you the two principal
decisions we have taken. Not only
will we noty make peace, but We
won't compromise with the govern
ment of the Soviets. We have de
cided that we will be the allies of all
peoples' attacked by the bolshevists."
Regarding the situation in the
Adriatic, the premier said:
"The Fiume question has( been
agonizing. Italy promised Fiume to
the Jugo-SIavs, but went back on her
promise. France, England and the
United States have sought a solu
tion and the latest indications are
that it will finally be reached. Only
when this is solved can we com
mence to breathe freely."
War Between Italy and .
Jugo-Slavia Predicted
Chicago, Dec. 23. Walter Pfedo

lief commission just returned from
six months spent in Jugo-Slavia, de
clared that he had a "huge amount
of documentary evidence of atroci
ties committed by the -Italians
against the Jugo-SIavs." War be
tween Jugo-Slavia and Italy was
certain, he said, "if Italy continues
her oppressive tactics."
According to PrCdovich, Jugo-Slav
women frequently were, victims of
Italian soldiers, but the latter were
not punished. Citizens refusing to
send their children to schools es
tablished by the Italians .where the
Italian language was taught were
thrown into prisons. - 0
Predovich declared the conduct of
Italians toward the Jugo-SIavs was
known at Washington. He asserted
D'Annunzjo's seeming irresponsibil
ity in activities in Fiume and else
where "is just a cloak behind which
Italy is working to obtain that
which the peace conference refused
to' give it."

A special photographer and representative of v the International News Service was permitted to talk to
Santa yesterday. His merry eyes twinkled and his little round belly shook with mirth when asked why he
was using an airplane and what had become of the beautiful reindeers he used to drive. '
"Dunder and Blitzen and my other faithful reindeers have been working so hard for so many years that
I thought I would give them a rest," he laughed, as he packed another beautiful doll and a drum into his
wonderful pack. "They are grazing up in Toyland, but sent their best love to every good boy and girl. And

Over Peace Parleys
Held in Washington
- Washington, Dec. 23.-Although
republican and democratic senators
continued their conference on peace
treaty reservations, there "were no
concrete results and leaders ;. said
they expected none for some days.
There was a feeling, however, that
by the time holiday recess' ends Jan
uary 5, the. basis for an agreement
will have been reached.
Drafts' of proposed changes in the
reservations framed by the senate
majority at the last session were
talked over by Senator Lodge, Mas

and Senator Lenroot, Wisconsin, a
leader of the mild reservation group
of republicans. They said that the
conference was of general nature
and that no final agreement on.
phraseology was reached.
It wa emphasized in all quarters
that the negotiations still were in
a nebulous state and that many sug
gestions from many sources would
be considered before they cared to
make a binding agreement.
