draw today. This is surely fitting

peoples actually engaged, but many

Settlement Must Be Final.

'There can be but one issue. The
settlement must be final. There can
be no compromise. No halfway de-
cision would be tolerable. No half
way decision Is conceivable. These
are the ends for which the associated
peoples Of the world are fighting and
which must be conceded them before
there can be peace: l. The destruction
of every arbitrary power anywhere
that can separately, secretly and of its
single choice disturb the peace Of the
world; or, If 1t cannot be presently de-
stroyed, at the least Its reduction to
virtual impotence.
20. The settlement Of every question,
whether of territory, of sovereignty, Of
economic arrangement, or of political
relationship, upon the basis of the free
acceptance of that settlement by the
people Immediately. concerned, and not
upon the basis Of the material interest
or advantage of any other nation or
people which may desire different
settlement for the sake of its own ex-
terror influence or mastery.
SO. The consent Of all nations to be
governed In their conduct towards
each other by the same principles of
honor and of respect for the common
law of civilized society that govern
the individual citizens of ell modern
states In their relations with one an
other; to the end that all promises and
covenants may be sacredly observed, no
private plots or conspiracies Matched,
no selfish injuries wrought with impun-
lty, and a mutual trust established |
upon the handsome foundation Of a
mutual respect for right.
a. The establishment of an organi- |
sation Of peace which shall make 1t
certain that the combined power of |
rec nations will check every invasion
If right and serve to make peace and
Justice the more secure by affording a
lefnite tribunal of opinion to which
Ill must submit and by which every
readjustment that cannot

lies directly concerned shall be sane
toned.

SOLDIERS CELEBRATE
WHEN ND. ARRIVES
After Waiting Two Weeks for the
Physicians to Conduct MASTERING
Out Examinations, Joy at
Arrival Is Unbounded

Regardless OF the fact that the
army and navy mastering out physi-
clans chose the Sabbath as the day
OF their long delayed advent to the
city of Pullman, the expression of JOY
cE the part of soldier-students who
had been chatting at the delay and
growing more and more restless with
each succeeding day Of their uon-
arrival took on the form of a real
celebration Sunday evening. After
their hopes had risen with several
previous tips that the M. DIS were
due many of the soldiers lad become
somewhat skeptical, but nevertheless
several hundred of them met the
evening train Sunday in the hope
that the latest report might really
prove true.
AS the physicians stepped off the
train and the soldiers became con-
WINGED that they were real, live men,
come to deliver them from the yoke
of the military unit SO that they
might go their separate ways rejoic
ing the proyerbial pandemonium
broke loose, and the entire cOmmun-
ity knew, from the commotion, that
the hopes of the men had at last been
realized.
All of the work incidental to mus
tering out the 1900 men had been
completed long before the belated
NJ. DIS arrival, with nothing remain
ing to be done but to conduct the
physical examinations to see that no
soldier returned to his home less
physically fit than when he reported
in October. Monday morning this
phase of the work started with a rush
and soon the work had been system
atized so perfectly that 10 happy men
were handed their final discharge pa
paper every 0 minutes. By Tuesday
the entire naval unit had been de-
modified and big start made among
the S. A. T. C. men. The work is still
progressing and the entire unit will
have been demobilized by December
81. the date set by the War Depart
ment, despite the fact that the exam
ming physicians were two weeks late
The big majority of the men are
being found physically fit, although
few are being held up for physical
reasons, some because they have not
vet fully recovered from the effects
of the FLU" A few of these men
will be sent to other camps so that
physical defects may be corrected.

CHRISTMAS ROLL CALL
WELL UNDER WAY
Despite the Handicap of Influenza
Quarantine, the Pullman Branch
of the Red Cross Is Securing
Many Members

While the influenza quarantine
knocked the plans of Mrs. Ewing,
chairman of the Pullman branch of
the Red Cross, into a cooked hat, the
Christmas Roll Call campaign is pro-
crossing satisfactorily. Arrange
ments had been made to open IA
membership enrolment booths, TO be
in charge of college and high school
girls, but compliance with the quar-
antine regulations would not permit
the carrying out of this plan. AS a
substitute, five recruiting booths are
being maintained down town, one in
each of the banks, one in
the Emerson Mercantile company
store, one in the Greenawalt-Folger
Companys store and one at Red
Cross headquarters. Members OF the
organization are on duty all day at
these booths enrolling members and
giving out buttons. A booth is also
maintained in the college library un-
der the direction of Miss Craig.
Up to Wednesday evening 568
members had been enrolled in Pull
man and two of the six auXiliaries re-
ported ISL responses to TIE roll call.
This total was largely Increased yes
terday. There are so many cases of
Influenza at Cotton and Uniontown
that very little work can be done by
either of these auxiliaries ct present.
Tomorrow will be Red Cross regis
tration day and all who have not al
ready joined are urged to go to ore
of the recruiting Eootns and enlist
in the Red Cross army, just as the
young men registered for military
duty at the appointed time and place.
Next Monday, the closing day of the
drive, teams of men will solicit every
home in the city which does not dis
play a Red Cross service flag in the
windows, as evidence that the occu-
pants have already answered the roll
call.
At the close of the membership
drive last year the Pullmcn branch
end its auxiliaries reported almost
1000 members and despite the influ-
enza handicap the Red Cross workers

A SMALL BLAZE

Fire was discovered Monday after
neon in the house ON College hill oc-
cupied by II. j. Day and owned by
T T. Barnard. The fire department
responded promptly and by good
Judgment and efficient work eXtin-
guished the flames without seriously
damaging the house or contents. The
fire is supposed to have started from
an overheated range. No one was at
home at the time, Mrs. O'Day and
her sister having gone up to the col
lege. The loss has been adjusted
satisfactorily and Mr.. Barnard reels
that the fire department is entitled to
much credit for extinguishing the
blaze with a garden hose, instead OF
deluging the house and contents with
the big fire hose.

ERROR AFFECTS
MILITARY STATUS


twenty-five members of the col
legiate section of the State College
S. A. T. c. will receive no pay for
their military services since they re-
ported in Pullman October 1 unless
the War Department can take steps
to make possible the correction of a
clerical error that occurred some
where between the Whitman county
draft board and the War Department
at Washington, d. G. Just where the
error occurred is not definitely
known, but by some slip the Undue
ton Of the % men affected was not
technically correct and the slip was
discovered too late for correction UNI
less the War Department will accede
to the request of the military and
State College authorities and make
possible their induction now.
Every effort is being made by
both the military and college au-
tnOIILleS 10 ClcdI IHS 5ltudtiOh anu
the matter has been taken up with
Senator Miles d. Poindexter by wire.
Senator Poindexter is urged to use
his influence with the War Depart
ment so that the men may be raised
10 a full military status, and receive
ray from the time they reported in
Pullman.
The papers in connection with the
case have been sent to Washington
and it is thought probable here that
the induction may be re-opened by
the War Department to make pos
sible the correction of the error.
The applications for induction
were first sent to the home boards

IVAN [. PRICE GAVE
HIS LIFE IN FRANCE
Pullman Man Killed in Action No
vember 3 While Fighting With
Marines-Was Remarkable
Athlete

Ivan l.. Price, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
c. A. Price, residents of Pullman.
but now sojourning at Long Beach,
Cal, gave his life on the battle fields
of France on November 3, while
fighting with the United States ma
rines, according to information re-
ceived in Pullman Wednesday.
Price graduated from the Pullman
high school with the class Of 1915,
after developing into one of the
greatest all-around athletes ever con-
nected with the school. In his SEN
ior year 1T high school he led the
basket ball and foot ball teams to
the county championships and wGs
a high point winner il all the track
meets in which Pullman high school
participated during his student days.
In the fall of 1915 he entered the
State College and that season played
on the freshman basket tell team,
as well az participating in some Of
the noR-conference varsity games,
being ineligible for the conference
contests because of the newly adopt
ed freshman rule.
During the 1916-17 season, as a
member of the State College varsity
quintet, he reached the zenith of his
remarkable basket ball career, and
was a potent factor in the winning
of both the Northwest and Pacific
Coast conference titles for his col
lege. He played the right forward
position during the entire season,
which was marked by the hardest
schedule ever attempted by the col
lege At the close OF the season he
was the unanimous choice of the
basket ball experts for the right for
ward position on the all-star teams
for both conferences.
While basket bell was his forte,
and more consistent player was
never produced at the college, he
was also track and football man of
considerable ability.
The young man enlisted in the ma
rines in the fall of 1917, having
been in the service a year, almost to
a,;day, when he made the supreme
sacrifice.
He was a member of the Sigma AL
pha Epsilon fraternity and was high
ly popular with the entire student
body. OF the cGre-fTee, friendly
type, he was the class of man who
would ungrudgingly give his last
penny to his friend and take chances
on his own comfort, and as a result
of his unselfish disposition and his
spirit of wholeheartedness his circle
of friends included the entire COM
munity
The sad news of the young mans
death was contained in letter re-
ceived by Athletic Director j. F
Boiler from Prices brother, Ray
written from Long Beach.
