DEMANDED BY PRESIDENT WILL
SON IN ADDRESS TO JOINT
SESSION or CONGRESS.
-FOUR VITAL PRINCIPLES
PLEDGES WHOLE STRENGTH OF
UNITED STATES sIN WAR OF
EMANCIPATION"
western Newspaper Union New. Service.

Western Newspaper Onion News Service.
Washington, Feb. H. President
Wilson addressing Congress In joint
session Monday replied to the recent
speeches by German Chancellor Won
Hertling and the Austrian foreign
minister. Count Czernin.
Chancellor Won Hertling's statement.
the President said. was very vague
and confusing and leads to practically
NO conclusion. II vas very different
in tone from Count Czernin, which. the
President said. had q very friendly
tone.
The President reiterated that the
United States had no desire to inter-
fere In European affairs and would
disdain to take advantage Of any in
ternal weakness or disorder to impose
her own will upon other people"
All the way through the President
drew a parallel between the pro.
nouncements OF Chancellor Hertling
and Foreign Minister czernin and his
hearers drew the conclusion that the
President decidedly considered Ger
nin's utterances as being more favor
able that Hertling's.
"Czernin seems to see the funda-
mental elements Of peace with clear
eyes and does not seek to obscure
them." said the President.
Count Czernin." said the President.
probably would have gone much far
ther had 1t not been for the embarrass.
ment Of Austria's alliances and OF her
dependence on Germany"
Again. the President reiterated that
the United States was in the war and
would put forth its whole strength "in
the war Of emancipation.
The test OF whether I is possible
for the belligerents to go on compar-
ing views, said the President, was sim
pie and obvious and the principles to
be applied. he said. were as follows:
Each part OF the final settlement
must be based upon essential justice
to bring a permanent peace.
Peoples and provisions are not
to be bartered about like chattels to
establish balance OF power.
3-Territorial settlements must be
for the benefit OF people concerned
and not merely adjustment Of rival
states claims.
4-Well-defined national aspirations
must be accorded all possible satisfac-
tion. t.
"A general peace upon such founda.
tions can be discussed" said the Pres
ident Until such a peace can be Sc
cured we have no choice but to 60
on"
These general principles. the Pres.
ident said, have been accepted by
everyone except the military auto

Starbuck had no farther to 20 than
to the garage where he had put up his
car. and when he got 1t and drove to
the KInzic building. Smith came out Of
the shadow Of the entrance to mount
beside him.
"Driye around to the garage again
and let me try another phone," was
the low-spoken request. MY wire
isn't working"
The short run was quickly made,
and Smith went to the garage Office.
A moment later two-hundred- pound
policeman strolled up to put a huge
foot on the running board of the wait
Ing auto. Starbuck greeted him as a
friend.
"Hello, Mac. How's tricks with you

Starbuck. looking over the police

but the ex-cowpuncher was Of the
chosen few whose wits sharpen hand

"He hangs out at the Hophra House
q good part Of the time In the eve.
nlngs." he replied coolly. Hop In and
I'll drive you around"
Three minutes later the threatening
danger was a danger pushed little
way into the future, and Starbuck was
back at the garage curb waiting for
Smith to come out. Through the win.
dow he saw Smith placing the receiver
on Its hook. and moment afterward
he was opening the car door for bis
passenger.
"DId you make out to raise the
judgef' he inquired as Smith climbed
In.
"Yes. He will meet me at his cham.

can drive down from his house."
"What are your hoping to do, John

Again Starbuck's reply translated
itself Into action. With q skillful

the ties for the railroad bridge. II
was q courting Of death. To drive
the bridge at racing speed was has
ardous enough. but to drive It thus In
the face Of downcoming train seemed
nothing less than madness.
It was after the car had shot into
the first of the three bridge spans
that the pursuers pulled up and
opened fire. Starbuck bent lower over
his wheel, and Smith clutched for
handholds. Far up the track on the
north side Of the river headlight
flashed In the darkness, and the
hoarse blast of a locomotive, whlstlIng
for the bridge, echoed and re-echoed
among the hills.
Starbuck drove for his life. With
the bridge fairly crossed, he found
himself on high embankment; and
the oncoming train was now less than
half mile away. Somewhere be-
yond the bridge approach there was a
road; SO much Starbuck could recall.

slstence. Nothing makes a more last
ing impression on the minds - the
young than the places and surround
lngs and associations connected with
their early school days.
ArDor day was instituted for the
purpose of identifying our school
grounds with flowers, shrubs and trees
adm making these places more sttrac-
i've and inspiring to the children Let
teachers. pupils and patrons devote
the day set apart as Arbor day to tree
planting wherever there is a necessity
and to cleaning up and putting in good
order the school premises. Care
should be taken in the proper selection
Of trees and shrubs to be planted.
There are both good and bad plants
Ont Of the latter is the common bar
berry. widely planted ornamental
shrub. The plant develops and spreads
black stem rust Of wheat, rye, oats
and barley, which causes loss each
year OF millions OF bushels of these
grains. Now that our country needs
every bushel Of grain, 1t is OF special
importance that no common barberry
bushes be planted and all those now
growing be eradicated. Every school
child should know what this menace to
our food supply looks like and learn
how 1t helps to spread grain rust. We
recommend that a part Of Arbor day
be devoted to searching for the COM
mon barberry and for its destruction.
This bush should not be confused with
the japanese barberry which is
harmless shrub.
In a larger measure than heretofore,
we should aid in timber conservation
and in the growing Of trees for fuel.
Rural homes in treeless localities
could be greatly improved in appear
ance and protected from severe wealth
err conditions by groves grown on the
north and west Of the farm buildings.
In villages and cities, Arbor day
should be observed in order to en-
phasize the necessity Of providing pub
lie parks and identifying them with
trees and flowers, thus utilizing nature
as an uplifting influence In civic bot
terment.
The governor of Iowa has DESIGNATED
Friday, April 26. as Arbor and Bro
day. earnestly recommend and
strongly urge that this day be OBJ
served in all the public schools OF the
state with appropriate programs OF
songs. recitations and tree planting
exercises, and that patrons be given
a special invitation to participate.
Sincerely yours,
A. NJ. DEYOE,
Superintendent of Public Instruction.

ECHOES.
What is that which shakes the marg-
In of the day
Like the murmur OF an ocean far
away?
Can it be the heavens thunder
Heard the far horizon under?
No: A hundred million freemen kneel
and pray
Trust in God who made US free,
Hold the line for liberty,
For hundred million freemen kneel
and pray.
Can it be the distant echo of the
guns
Which behind the quiet sea-line rolls
and runs?
Have our armies made an error?
Is it some new battle-terror?
No: America Is calling to her sons,
Trust in God who made us free.
Hold the line for liberty.
For America is calling to her sons.
What is that enormous murmur that
we hear
Past the distant bugle grieving high
and clear?
IT'S the heart Of a great nation
Grimly throbS With eXultaLlOH
That the end her long patience
draweth near.
Trust God who made us free,
Hold the line for liberty.
For the end of His long patience
draweth near.
Is it throbbing, throbbing, throbping
of the drums
In the ears of weary nations beat
and huns?
No: The tramp of mighty legions
Shakes the steady sunset regions:
IT'S America: She comes, she comes,
she comes,
Trust in God who made man free,
Hold the line for liberty.
For America, she comes, she comes
she comes.
