Director Hines
By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. It is" re
ported at the White House that Fuel
Administrator Garfield has resigned and
that his resignation is expected tobe ac
cepted immediately by President Wil

tions until the supply is normal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. It was
announced from the White House this

field's1 letter was said to be friendly. It
is understood that he favored absolutely
an unyielding attitude toward the strik

Women . Mad Over
Furs, Dealers Say
By United Press
ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 12. Ameri
can women have gone mad over furs.
This was the unanimous expression
; of fur dealers in thisbig fur center to
day. .
.Dealers have been hard pressed to
meet the demand for furs this year and
the next season promises even greater
demand. -Prices are higher, they say,
hut that makes no difference to the
women they want the best they can get
and they've the money to pay for them.
As a result there are more trappers
going into the woods this winter than
ever in history. Dealers are uncertain
what result this will bring but they are
'offering better prices in advance than
they ever did before. This looks like
higher prices for next year, they admit.
There are more animals this winter
than in many years, according to trap
pers' reports, and they'll be needed to
meet the demand, say dealers.
In this section approximately 80 per
cent of this year's furs have already
passed over the retail counters. In the
east, according to reports, 60 to 904per
cent of the trade has already bought and
the remainder of the sales will, be
Christmas trade, it is believed.

In Insolation Policy Can No Longer
Boast of Being a World Leader
By United Press
LONDON, i Dec. 11 Premier' Clem
enceau of France arrived here today.
The press and official circles are unani
mous in declaring that the visit had
two prime objects in view, both caused
by the withdrawal of the American dele
gation from the peace conference. The
first arrangement will be for a new or
ganization to supercede the supreme
council, which, in opinion here, has been
broken up by the departure of the
Americans. The second is completing
an immediate entente witi Great Brit
ain which later may develop into a
French-British-Italian alliance.

There's been a lot of talk about fox
farming, rabbit farmingvmuskrat farm
ing, mink and otter farming and all oth
er kinds of farmig. "City folks who
don't know the great out-of-doors would
naturally think the choicest furs would
be those bred and raised in captivity,"
said a buyer. "They figure that animals
selected, segregated, fed and cared for
should produce better fur. That may be
true in domestic stock, but exactly the
opposite is true when it comes to fur
animals. Naturally wild animals are
bound to deteriorate in captivity. They
are not in their natural state. But the
most important difference is the temper
ament of the animal.
"Surprised? Yes, I guess most folks
are surprised that the temper of an ani
mal largely decides the quality of its
fur.

Clemenceau and George Confer
By Edmund Keen fbr United Press
' LONDON, Dec. 11. Premier Clem
enceau of France and Premier Lloyd
George are confering in the government
offices this afternoon. It is regarded as
likely they will arrange an ambassador
al council to meet in London or Paris
in 1920 to wind up the problems of
peace making, including Adriatic, Rus
sian and Turkish problems. It is point
ed out that an immediate Franco-British
entente is necessary to guarantee
sufficient force to oblige Germany to
sign the procotol and carry out the pro
visions of the armistice, making thf
peace treaty effective. It is believed the
onference may be the foundation of an
alliance with, Belgium and Italy to as
sure a permanent block sufficiently
strong to keep Germany in hand and
serve as a protection against Russian
radicalism. It is emphasized that as
America has withdrawn from European
affairs on her own accord she will not
be invited back. If America wishes to
return the Allies will welcome her. In
the opinion of Sir Willoughby Dickin-1
son. president of the British delegation
to the convention of societies favoring
the League of Nations, which met re
cently in Brussels, the United States has
suddenlj' switched from the position of
"world leader' to a "hermit."

As Result Oil Burning Vessels Will
Have to Change to Coal
IBy United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. It is esti
mated that Carranza's refusal to permit
the drilling of American oil wells in
Mexico may cost the United States gov
ernment $300,000,000. This expenditure
will be incurred through the converting
of 1,350 oil burning vessels into coal
burners. Representatives of American
oil concerns, however, arc confident the
state department will take firm steps to
influence Mexico to desist in the inter
ference of American operations.
Conditions Exaggerated
IBy United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. Ygnacio
Bofiillas, the Mexican ambassador, de
claring that attempts were being made
to create an artificial crisis over the
Tampico oil situation, asserted that the
feeling arising from the report that Car
ranza soldiers were stopping Americans
from drilling new wells, caused a mis
understanding of the true conditions.
He said, the Jenkins affair was closed
as far as a crisis was concerned.
American Ambassador Invited
fBv United Press
LONDON, Dec. 12. American Am
bassador Davis has been summoned to
the conference with Premiers Lloyd
George and Clemenceau. It is under

purpose of informing the United

American government.-'
try, dealers declare, and particularly
due to the prosperity of the femine pock
crtook. "During the war and since," said the
leading fur garment producer of . the
country," women have earned more
money than ever before. In comparison
with men the wages of women have
been all out of normal proportion. They
want good clothes fur, coats, fur-trimmed
coats, neck pieces, muffs and fur
lined leather or cloth coats. Hundreds
of women who never before felt they
could afford good furs are buying now.
"My personal opinion is that this de
mand won't last more than another fur
season.
"The demand will likely be great next
fall but the next year it will drop off,"
he said. . "The desire for furs will be
largely satiated by the end of the next
year," he added, explaining that it was
merely a guess and that no one can tell
what the American woman will do.
Natural muskrat, seal-dyed muskrat
and raccoon furs are the most popular.
Because of . the huge demand for
muskrat furs, prices for raw skins have
jumped from as low as 7 cents each to
... more than $2 each in fifteen years. Last
' year prime northern muskrat skins sold
for $1.70. Already some fur dealers are
telling trappers they will pay from
$2.10 to $2.30 for raw skins this year.
As a result of high prices for raw
skins every farmer boy, every settler,
and every hunter in the north woods is
getting ready to jump into the trapping
game this month with a vim. One deal
, er pointed out all the things a back
woods boy could buy if he trapped only
fifty or a hundred muskrats this fall and
sold them at prices offered.
But every boy can't trap wild animals

In the east, particularly, there is a de

Foreign furs are popular among the
very rich. Russian sable coats, for in

skin the size of a man's two hands
lengthwise costs from $600 to $800, and
sometimes it takes from 80 to 100 to

L
Ermine and chinchilla are more popu

Nutria, a South American rat, is also
a high priced fur. Otter and mink are
being used on slightly cheaper coats for
trimming and for small pieces, j
Lamb lined leather and cloth coats
are also popular. , ' '
The old pony coat, bearskin coat and
wolf-skin coats and muffs are all out

American note is dispatched. It has
