asked his name and business by his
hotel lady refused to give out any in
formation. The attention of the local
Council of Defense was at once called
to same, whereupOn committee,
headed by the sheriff, waited on the
man and asked for information about
himself and his calling, and being
answered both indifferently and i'm
pertinently, the sheriff advised the
stranger to leave town on the morn
ing train. "But suppose don't leave"
he said, "what will happen?"to which
the sheriff replied, 81 advised you to
leave; now | order you to leave"

 The President said he hoped to. see a formal declaration of peace, by treaty "by the time spring has come" No definite program of reconstruc- tion can be outlined now, MT. Wilson said, but as soon as the armistice was signed, government control of business and Industry was released as far as possible. He expressed the hope that Congress would not object to con- ferring upon the war trade board or some other agency the right of fixing export priorities to assure shipment of food to starving people abroad.

It is report ed that efforts by the Szechos to take possession of this territory was fol- lowed by an uprising of the peasants and also by outbreaks against the Jews.
 The most recent example of the lit eralness with which the peoples of the old dual monarchy have interpreted President Wilson's conception of self determination among every body of people of the same tongue and race is to be found among the inhabitants in the region of Gottscnee, about 30 miles northeast of Plume, a body of about 200 German speaking peo- pie living in the heart of Jugoslia. Representative of the Gottschee group explained that they wished the protection of America against the Jugoslavs so that they might declare republic. They said they were friendly to the Jugo Slavs but that ir view of President Wilson's notes they felt they had a right to their owr political freedom and wished to ex, ist in the interior of Jugoslavia jus as San Marine did in Italy
 These people claim that Jogoslav! soldiers are prosecuting the Italian leaders of the section.
