No Aims of Conquest

"Such, my lord, are the general sentiments
of the soyereigns, and of their ministers
here assembled, and it should seem that the
glorious forbearance observed by them, when
masters Of the French capital in the early
part Of last year, ought 10 prove to the French
that this is not war against their freedom
and independence or excited by any spirit Of
ambition or desire of conquest, but one arts
ing out of necessity, urged on the principles
Of self-preserv ltion, and founded on the legit-
innate and incontroyertibe right Of obtaining
reasonable security for their own tranquil
lily and independence-to which. il France
on her part has claim. other nations have
an equal title to claim at the hands Of
France"
President Wilson's reply to the Pope's
peace proposal was strikiugly similar to this
note OF Lord Clancarty While not going so
far "a 70 say that the United States would re
fuse 20 make peace with the Hohenzolerns
Mr.. Wilson did declare that a safe settlement
could not be based upon 'the word Of an am
bilious and intriguing government and that
the necessary guarantees that there will not
be another ruthless assault upon the public
law Of Europe, upon the peace of the world
ard upon humanity itself must be reinforced
by an assertion by the German people Of a
control over Prusssn junkerdom, so that
confidence may be placed in its reputation
Of aggressive designs
The whole history Of just century ago,
when the four allies sought to protect Europe
agsins. Napoleon, has its lesson for the pres
en-. The allies were taught that the agrees
sor must be destroyed. in order for 2 lasting
peace TO be instituted. The conferences at
ChGumont and Vienna were marked by ex-
plicit declarations OF the war aims Of the
allies, and it Is highly desirable that from
tho prcsen. inter-Allied conference there
come similar expression OF purpose TO fight
On until the forces that menace the world are
made powerlcss.

From FoetryD
No matter how you love me
You cannot keep me home.
Along the airy lane of bells
Beyond the peacock dome,
know the way TO travel,
And | shall got at will
Where the stone sails await the wind
Upon the holy hill.
The mariners who made them,
They have been long away:
But when a wind from Heaven blows,
They will come back some day;
And ] shall hear them singing
And watch the stone sails fill,
Till the white city like ship
Moves out across the hill.

From many mellow land.

And all their sorrow be unlearnedi

That nevermore returned.

Dusk, and the far volcano wears
A film Of sunset sky
The valley glimmers like the sea,
And little winds go by.
The jasmine flower upon my breast
Is an insistent word,
But patiently my stubborn heart
Pretends it has not heard.

Up through the evening blue:
The ancient steps are silvered

And if the gray church vanish
Ny soul may worship still,
For God has hung the Southern Cross

Their whirling fringe of black,
And he who gives passionhower
Always asks it back.

their charge if they were now to listen to
those professions Of desire for peace which
have beer made, and suffer themselves thus
to be lulled into the suppostion that they
might now relieve their people from the bur
den CT supporting immense military masses,
by diminishing their forces TO peace es-
adjustment, convinced as the several sover-
egns are from past experience that no
sooner should they have been disarmed than
advantage would be taken Of their want OF
preparation to renew those scenes Of aggres-
sion and bloodshed from which they had
hoped that the peace so gloriously won at
Paris would long have secured them.
At War for Security
"They arc at war, then, for the purpose OF
obtaining some security for their own indie
pendcnce and for the reconquest of that
peace and permanent tranquility for which
the world has so long painted. They are
not even at war for the greater or less Sc
curity which France can afford them OF
future tranquility, but because France, under
lis present chief, is unable to afford them
any security whatever.
"In this war they do not desire to inter
fere with any legitimate right Of the French
people; they have no design to oppose the
claim of that nation to choose their own form
of government, or intention TO trench, in any
respect. upon their independence as great
and free people; but they do think they have
a right, and that of the highest nature, to
contend against the reestabiishment of an
individual at the head Of the French govern
ment whose past conduct has invariably
demonstrated that in such a situation he will
not suffer other nations to be at peace whose
restless ambition, whose thirst for foreign
conquest and whose disregards for the rights
aud independence of other states must expose
the whole of Europe to renewed scenes OF
plumber and devastation.

POLISH VOLUNTEER NEEDED
To Get Names in Zone Not Yet
 Enumerated.

The last of the census blanks are coming into headquarters very slow ly, in the opinion of some members of the committee. Mayor Dunn stated Monday afternoon that the work was nearly completed and all but two zones have been heard from and the figures sent into the state headquarters in Hartford One of the zones that. has not been heard from has not been as signed to anyone yet but it is the hope of the mayor that some Polish man will volunteer to take this zone as a number of Polish descent make their homes within it's boundaries Of the total 1000 names, that was given as the estimate by those in Hartford, 3,SS0 have already been accounted for. This means that the committee has to get only 120 more names to do what is ex- pected of them. It is the opinion of those that are doing active work for the committee that the work will be finished by Wednesday evening.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
 FADED OR GRAY HAIR
Look youngI Common garden Sage and Sulphur darkens so naturally
 nobody can tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and attractive with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull. faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get large bot Ie of this old-time receipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-knoWn downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobdy can tell it has been applied It's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another ap- plication or two. it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not in tended for the cure, mitigation or pre- Vention of disease.

In these days when so many per sons desire to show their patriotism by a display of the Stars and Stripes it is well to understand. the proper method of making display. The fol- lowing rules should be observed:
 The proper time for raising the flag is sunrise or after, never before.
 The flag must be lowered at sunset.
 In draping the flag against the side of a room or building, the proper po- sition for the blue field is toward the north or toward the east.
 It is I a mark of disrespect to allow the flag to fly throughout the night.
