Paris, Dec 16.-President Wilson
and Premier Clemenceau touched in
only the most general manner the
problems of the peace conference
in the course of a conversation they
had at the Murat residence last even
ing, according to Marcel Hutin, of
the Echo De Paris. Mr. Wilson was
most impressed with the premier's
personality.
AS the visit which Premier Clemen-
ceau paid President Wilson lasted a
full hour, it permitted of confer

the inter-alied conference and of the
peace congress and of at least the
preliminary discussion of some of the
great international problems about 10

Concerning the plans, it now is APP
parent that the presidents visit to
Italy will be postponed until the mid
die or the latter part of January. Pres
ident Wilson in the meantime will at
tend the opening sessions of the inter-
allied conference and the peace con-
gress, visit the American front and the
French devastated regions and prob
ably visit Brussels and King Albert
of Belgium
The president will be back in Paris
in the early days of January when
the preliminaries are likely to be so
far advanced as to permit of the open
ing of the peace conference about jan

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
WHAT 1T REALLY MEANS
BY JOSIAH Il. REED.

"three-class' system of voting pre-
vailed In the 1908 election the con-
servatives, with q total of 41S,39S
votes, secured PIP seats in the Prus-
sian house Of representatives, and the
social democrats with 598,522 votes
secured seven seats fAtlantic Month
ly May, 1879. This doesn't sound
much like democracy. does It? The
social democratic party was composed
largely of the working people in the
large cities. They were the reform
party and for years demanded a re-
form in the Prussian election system.
They were growing numerically
stronger year by year, and might
eventually have achieved the over
throw of militarism in Germany.
Some persons believe that the military
party considered a successful war to
be necessary to it's. tenure of power
and that it started the war deliber-
ately on that account.
But it must be remembered that
the social democrats, like most po-
litical parties everywhere, were inter-
ested much more IN domestic con-
Germs than in international policies.
And the careful system of training in
patriotism devised by the rulers of
Germany reached the social demo-
Gratis just as il reached everybody
else.

docile and cOntented The rulers
were not interested in right and wrong
OR rather, to them the only thing
that was right was German power,
German prestige. They thought Ger
man interests absolutely the only ones
that needed to be considered. What
injury might be done to other nations
or to civilization was of no conse-
quence.
From the beginning of this war
people have found it difficult to un-
derstand the German atrocities 1t
has all seemed so different from the
kindly good nature that we formerly
associated with the German people.
At first we refused to believe in the
atrocities at all The explanation is
simply that the Germans put patriot
ism before humanity. They thought
that frightfulness would pay And 1t
did pay for time Fear of German
brutality meant smaller garrisons in
Belgian cities and more soldiers re-
lieved for work at the front. Like
many other German policies, It was
short sighted. 1t gained its immedi-
ate end, but it cost the respect of the
neutral world. and it will be one of
the chief obstacles in the way of the
German people when they seek JUS
tice at the peace table.
The atrocities were natural out
growth of the system. The German
treatment of the natives IN the Afr
can colonies was another outgrowth.
The way in which they sought trade
all over the world by every means
fair and unfair was another logical
development 1t was only Germans
that counted. They were the strong
est people, and the strongest people
ought to inherit the earth. Only why
wait to inherit it? So they started
after it in their own way-and were
checked at the Marine. "A

And as to individuals. if they did
not count the rights of their ewn
people, but treated them merely as
pawns whose beliefs could be trained
for imperial purposes was it likely
they would consider the rights of Bel
gian women and children?
The Germans with deadly logic
| were carrying the system of selfish
patriotism and power politics to its
natural conclusion. Is it not time
that the nations condemn the old
system and look for something

DIR. EVANS ON VACCINE.

DR.. W. A. Evans, formerly in charge
OF the department Of health in the
city of Chicago, but who abandoned
active practice of medicine to be-
come one of the best known writers
on health topics in the world, has
been gathering facts regarding the
valile Of vaccination for flu and pncu-
monia. Here is what he says in the
Chicago Tribune
Those who have contracted influ-
enza after being yaccinated have had
the disease very mildly. One physi-
clan reported TWO deaths of persons
VINO had had one dose of vaccine, A
few cases of pneumonia subsequent ia
vaccination have been reported TO me.
But so far Two facts stand ont: The
Vaccinated have a lower Influenza
rate than the non-vaccinated. and,
second tho vaccinated have very
low pneumonia rate and low death
rate"
Spanish influenza is the worst cpl
demic that has visited the civilized
world in modern times. An appalling
number of deaths have resulted from
it in practically every part of the
United States.
At conference in Chicago where
physicians from all over the country
met for consultation, 1t was decided
that vaccination was the only proven
tive relief offered.
Vaccination costs very little and il
keeps no one from work for even a
day Influenza, even if pneumonia
doesn't develop. keeps you from work
for many days, and you risk death
for many days. Also you are sure to
have big bill for doctors services
nurse and drugs.
While We know of no doctor in
Albuquerque who is now refusing to
administer vaccine, there are num-
Der who still discourage it-probably
because there has been as yet no
meeting of the American Medical as
ISOLATION to endorse it.
In the interest of saving life, of pre-
venting quarantine which is destruc-
tive of business, and of saving you
money and worry, the Journal again
urges that, if your doctor discour-
ages the use of vaccine, you get an
other doctor The flu doesn't wait
on the dictum of the American Medi-
cal association.

A NOVEMBER SUNSET.

Thoreau, in His Essay on walking.
We had a remarkable sunset one
day last November. I was walking In
a meadow, the source of small
brook, when the sun at last just be-
fore setting, after cold, gray day,
reached clear stratum in the hori-
zon, and the softest, brightest morn
ing sunlight fell on the dry grass and
on the stems of the trees In the OPP
posite horizon and on the leaves of
the shrub oaks on the hillside whlle
our shadows stretched along over the
meadows eastward, as if we were the
only notes in its beams. 1t was such
a, light as we could not have imagined
O moment before, and the air was SO
warm and serene that nothing was
wanting to make paradise OF tnat
meadow. When we reflected that TINS
was not solitary phenomenon, never
to happen again. but that II would
happen forever and ever, an infinite
number of evenings, and cheer and
reassuer the latest child that walked
there, it was more glorious still.
The sun sets on some retired mead
ow, where no house is visible, and
with all the glory and splendor that
it lavishes on cities, and perchanee
as it never has. set before--where
there is but a solitary marsh hawk to
have his wings gilded by it, or only
musquash looks out from his cabin,
and there is some little black veined
brook in the midst of the marsh, just
beginning to meander, winding slowly
round decaying stump.
We walked in so pure and bright q
light gliding the withered grass and
leaves, so softly and serenly bright,
thought l had never bathed in such
a golden flood, without ripple or
murmur to it. The west side OF every
wood and rising ground cleaned like
the boundary of Elysium. and the sun
on our backs seemed like gentle
herdsmen driving us home at evening.
