"The 'statement of Mr. Candler's friends' are utterly unfounded and untrue and I do not believe they are even believed by him," Mrs DeBouchel said in reply to the statement issued by Mr. Thompson.

The commission will meet in Washington within ten days for the purpose of it was stated at the white house. It is expected to hold hearings, both in this city and In the various coal ffelds and is required under the Borah-Winslow act to make its report to the President and congress not later than next January 15.

They then charged me with pleading with a traveling salesman to come and see me in my room at the Piedmont hotel, and only allowing him to leave me on his promise' to come and see me In New Orleans." Mrs. DeBouchel had a two hour ference with Mr. Candler and his son, soon after her 'arrival In Atlanta Sunday from Chattanooga, and Marietta, Ga. Mrs. DeBouchel stated that she would demand and "would have a retraction of slanderous charges against her character and the names of the persons responsible for their disslmination in Atlanta and elsewhere." She had journey to Chattanooga several days ago, Mrs.

jpeBouchel said, after Mr. Candler had telegraphed her-at Reno that "circumstances positively prevent my filling engagement with 4 you on the 20th."

Mutual friends; had obtained the promise of the onlyj Methodist minister in Reno to remain- over from a vacation In order to perfe form the ceremony compliance with Mr. Candler's wishes.

On Friday before the date set for the wedding she received' Mr. Candler's first" telegram, stating his inability to fill the engagement. She; then planned postpone the wedding again, because that our army ceased operations against the Greeks. France promising us favorable armistice terms. France's responsibility there is considerable.

If no agreement is reached our army will insist on reaching into Thrace, but every day's delay, caused by our reliance on favorable armistice promise, diminishes our military advantage."

Under it the Greeks will" evacuate east-. ie Aavm and o.omDlete millions of dollars was the sum asked, covering a period of six years. Mr. Latham, capitalist and business man, declared that, while he had not himself the opportunities college training, the most gratifying of all his efforts have been in the direction of to four but revaded a suggestion as to location by recommending only the combining of the full course in one school. i In failings to make a recommendation as to the location, the committee stays out of tMe fight of three cities and the university itself for the school.

Charlotte, Greensboro and Durham want it. while Chapel Hiss Insists that it should be on the university The committee, however, showed a preference for Chapel Hill by first voting to recommend Its location there. It later rescinded' this action, thereby leaving it up to the -general assembly, which will make the final "decision as to the establishment of the school and the matter of deciding where it will be situated.
