Hertling replied on
February % as follows:

Il readily admit that President
Wilson's message OF February II
constitutes perhaps a small step
toward rapproachement. I can
fundamentally agree with the
four principles which. in Presi.
dent Wilson's view. must be APP
piled in "A mutual exchange of
views. and thus declare with
President Wilson that a general
peace can be discussed on such
n basis.
only one reservation may be
made In connection with these
principles: They must not only
be proposed by President Wilson.
but actually be recognized by all
states and peoples.
This goal has not yet been
reached. There is yet no court
OF arbitration.
when President Wilson says
the German chancellor is speak
ing to n world tribunal. must
decline this tribunal as prejudic-
ed, joyfully as l would greet 1t
IL an impartial court of arbitra-
tion existed. and gladly as
would cooperate TO realize such
ideals"
On July a, President
Wilson outlined these
terms in a speech at Mt.
Vernon:
l. The destruction of every
arbitrary power anywhere that
can separately. secretly and of
its single choice. disturb the
peace of the world
.. The settlement of every
question. whether of territory, of
sovereignty. OF economic ar
rangement, or political relation
ship, upon the basis of the free
acceptance OF that settlement by
the people Immediately concern
ed. and not upon the basis OF the
material interest or advantage of
another nation.
3. The consent of all nations
to be governed in their conduct
towards each other by the same
principles of honor and respect
for the common law of civilized
society that govern the individ-
ual citizens of all modern states:
to that end all promises and
covenants may be carefully OBJ
served, no private plots or CON
spiracies hatched. no selfish in.
juries wrought with i-npuuity,
and a mutual trust established
upon the handsome foundation of
mutual respect for right
4. The establishment of an
organization OF peace, which
shall make II certain that the
combined power of free nations
will check every invasion Of
right and serve TO make peace
and justice more secure by af-
fording definite tribunal of
opinion to which all must sub
NIT and by which every interna-
uonal readiustment shall be
sanctioned.

AMERICAN RED CROSS TO
ENROLL $4,000, 900 SCHOOL
CHILDREN IN AUXILIARIES

Under the slogan every School a
Red Cross Auxiliary and Center for
National Service" the Junior Red
Cross has perfected plans for the en-
rollment of every school child in the
United States as member of Red
Cross Auxiliary, the date of the
campaign being from Lincoln's birth
day February 18th, to Washington's
Birthday, February 22,
The Junior Red Cross is branch
of the American Red Cross through
which every school in America is Civ
en- the opportunity to carry on au-
thorized Red Cross work by forming
a social Auxiliary, upon the payment
of twenty-five cents membership fee
for each pupil enrolled in the school.
1t is the only agency which is ap-
proved by school authorities to enlist
the children in patriotic work during
the war All other organizations
must work through the medium of
the Junior Red Cross whose services
have already been requested by the
United States Food Administration
and by the War Savings Stamp Com
mittee, of which Frank A. Vanderlip
is Chairman.
The schools, however, are not the
only units in which School Auxiliaries
NAV be formed. The other educa-
tional units which have been recog-
nized as suitable centers in which to
organize Junior Red Cross work are
Agricultural clubs, Boy Scouts, Camp
Fire Girls, Night Schools, Sunday
Schools classes and such authorized
educational centers as may be pro-
perry organized under the supervisor
of the local representatives of the
Red Cross Chapter.
Every child who is enrolled IN
school auxiliary is entitled to wear a
Red Cross pin. Although not con-
sidered a regular member of the Red
Cross.
The Acworth Branch has organlz-
ed the Junior Red Cross in the schools
of Acworth, and they are already do
ing active work
The Macland Branch held their
regular monthly meeting on Monday
afternoon.

with accuracy in their proper posi-
ton on any map of which they are
integral parts.
Connections are made to numer-
Gus land-survey lines, so that the
marks for these lines also can be re-
stored to their proper positions IL
they have been accidentally or will
fully moved. Many cities, appreciat-
ing the Importance of such work,
have at their own expense or in CO.
operation with the Government CO.
ordinated their surveys with the de-
Examinations made by the United
States Geological Survey.
The airline distance from Port
land, Maine, to Portland, Greg, for
instance, can be computed with COM
parat;vely insignificant error, and
any other distances within the area
covered by this work can be deter
mined with equal accuracy.
Modern civilization requires accu-
rate data, and the more use that is
made of the results that the Govern
ment gives out freely, the greater will
be the benefit to the country. The
Geological Survey is endeavoring to
do its part in the work by supplying
the data it obtains free of charge,
and until the edition is exhausted
request for any of these bulletins sent
to the Director of the Survey at
Washington, D. c., will be granted.

LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE
is DETERMINED.
United States Geological Survey, De-
Partment of the Interior, Issues Re-
ports Showing Exact Geographic Po-
sition of Thousands of Points
Cities shown on Some Maps are
Represented as Miles Away From
their True Positions

The Geological Survey has on hand
several reports bulletins PIG, $40,
440, and 496) which give the exact
latitude and longitude of many thou
sand points scattered over the United
States from Maine to Oregon and
from Montana to Texas. Maps that
accompany the bulletins show the
areas included.
On many of the best available
maps of some States important
towns and other features are shown
as much as 5 miles out of place with
reference to their true ATTITUDES and
longitudes; the work of the Geologi-
cal Survey corrects such errors. The
inaccuracies of all old maps are due
principally to the lack of such data
as are given in these bulletins.
The ATTITUDES and longitudes given
in the bulletins are fixed datum
points to which State, city, and other
surveys may be connected, thereby
insuring an absolute recovery and re-
establishment of any land marks that
may have been destroyed or obliter-
