correspondence)-The following it
inerary has been suggested for Peace
Commissioner Wilson before ne sits
down at the green table. First, a
short trip through Belgium and nor
thern France to visit some of the
scenes of the great war.
A pause for a moment at the rail-
road station at Louvain that he may
picture to himself the events of
those memorable August days in
1914 when 16O civilians of that ill
fated city were ruthlessly shot in the
station square.
A visit to Brussels and the prison
there where Miss Edith Cavell met
Ter tragic fate at the hands of the
GERMAN authorities.
Doubtless Mr.. Wilson has read the
Brice report of German atrocities.
But on his voyage across the Allan
tic 1t is hoped he, also acquainted
himself with the evidence submitted
with the report. While he is in Bel
GUM let him visit the public square
at Iiege and have pointed out to
him the spot where one of the most
atrocious crimes of the war was en-
acted,
1t will not be far out of Mr. Will
sons route to spend an hour at
Queenstown and visit the buildings
that were used as temporary NOR
CUES when the Lusitania was sunk
and the bodies of her murdered pas
sengers were cast up by the, tides
1t is reported that the President
will pay a visit to the battle line
where the American troops were en-.
gagged. II he does, let him look or
the spot where that first raidins
party of Germans entered our tren.

ing Teams

ALI the teams for the Red Cross

Enthusiastically this morning and al
ready some are reporting the results
of their work. A practically unani-
nous favorable response is being
met thus far. In fact 1t Is reported
that, in not few instances, as the
teams approached the homes, the
doors were thrown open and the
Heart and the Dollar" were ready
and waiting. Such spirit indicates
that the remarkable record that jos
ephine county has made in the past
will not only be sustained but sur
passed.
The resourcefulness of the teams
and the team captains has been
worthy Of note. In several cases
those who had been appointed and
instructed for this soliciting work
were taken sick at the last moment
and were unable to serve. but in
practically every instance these have
seen to it that someone was secured
for their work, and thus the organi-
zation has been kept intact.
OF course there are a few who
] have not received the solicitors kind
| ly. But careful record is made Of
these and they are considered before
the executive board and will be
given every special attention.
The work throughout the county
has been very well organized and
no doubt the reports will be coming
in by tomorrow of commendable re-
suits.

have to travel far before he reaches

that remain as mute evidence of the

Let him visit Ypres, that city
around which ragged some of the
bloodiest struggles of the whole four
years of war. 1t was there the Ger

those poor boys as they slowly died
in the horrible agony of German
frightfulness,

Mr.. Wilson needs some of the
atmosphere of France and Belgium.
Let his heart quicken and his blood
warm by actual contact with the
scenes of the war before he takes
his place at the peace table.

The Ukraine has been known for a
hundred years as the granary OF
Europe. Given stable government
favorable to the development of tits
people and it would become one Of the
richest spots on earth.
Within this area Of approximately
$4,000 square miles, with a popula-
ton of 100000, more than one thiro
OF Rusia's farm products were raised
in the season before the war broke.
While it comprises sixth Of ,the area
Of European Russia, the Ukraine In
cludes more than a third of it's farm
laad.
More than so per cent of the Uk-
raine is under cultivation with mod
ern methods OF cultivation, its output
Of third of the wheat and rye and
barley Of Russia would be increased
many fold.
The Ukraine produces per cent Of
the crude sugar Of Russia and nearly
60 per cent of the refined sugar, in

of all the livestock
Its mineral resources are equally
surprising. Nearly three fourths Of
