b STOCKHOLM, June 23.-The
self-styled American socialist dele
gates to the German-called inter
national peace conference today
issued their statement of the
American position on peace"
Foremost in the plan was "a
scheme for union or federation of
all free nationalities to rebuild
warstricken nations and general
disarmament after the war.
"The American war aims" as
expressed by Davidovitch, Gold
farb and Reinstein, the three
American" delegates, lays great
stress on the mo annexations, no
indemnities" principle. Further,
the peace principles favor:
Return of all occupied territory.
including the allies return Of
German colonies.
Exclusion of Poland from its
return scheme and restoration of
Poland on the basis to be determ-
ined by a referendum of her peo-
pie.
Referendum to determine the
future of Alsace and Lorraine and
related questions. Recognition of
the rights of all nationalities to
self-expression.
Restoration of Belgium, Serbia,
Northern France and other war
devastated districts-but no speci-
fication as to who shall do the
work of restoration
The Americans hold that insist
ence that Germany do this work
might serve to prolong the war.
Restoration of general agree
ment for disarmament.

Thompson hasn't done anything to root the

In the giving of control of exports to the presi-
dent there is opportunity of the highest import
ance To great extent the necessity of the
British blockade can be removed, since it has
been United States exports that have slipped
through neutral countries, to the advantage of
Germany.
President Wilson can see to it that neutrals
get no more than enough for their own immed-
ate needs.
Relief Of large part of the British navy from
confinement on blockade duty may mean some
special enterprises by the British navy. Most of
the time we've hardly realized that the mighty
British navy was afloat. We may soon see it
doing things highly dramatic.

Q.-Miss Norma Talmadge
Is an old friend of mine and
am very anxious to get in
touch with her. Can you
give me her address?
HENRY b.
A.-Miss Talmadge Is at pres
ent In New York city and can he
reached at TO Seventh ave. In
that city.
Q.-I have heard that
there are no poisonous in
sects or snakes in Hawaii.
Will you tell me if that is
correct? DOUBTFUL.
Alt Is quite true. There is
not a snake I'm all Hawaii, nor
poisonous insect more to be
feared than bees or yellow
jackets. Neither is there poison
oak or ivy, nor other plants of
nOxiOus character. Although
some of the forests are exceed
ingly dense one may be conf
dent that no unseen peril turks I'm

now when everyone is talk
ing about saving and join
ing the waste army-here is

he glad to get. When cook
ing spinach, if you have any
lettuce-a person cannot al
ways use cents worth
just put the lettuce in with
the spinach, also tops of rad
ishes, and boil, then drain
and chop fine-sprinkle with
salt and pepper and add piece
of butter. This makes it
fine.
A WASTE ARMY WIFE.
Q.-Six of us girls are
forming a hiking club. Could
you give us Hawaiian name
that would be suitable,
something that suggests hik-
ing? Also the correct pro-
nunciation. EMILY.
A.-Hele wawae (he-le was
wa-e) means to walk i'm the Ha-
waiian language. The Hawaiian
alphabet consists of twelve let
ters. The vOwels are given their
value as in Spanish and are al
ways pronounced, not slurred.
Thus the name of that group of
islands Is pronounced Hah-wye-e.
BY uttering these sounds rapidly
and cOnnectedly the prOnuncia-
ton is secured.
