FAIL TO GET PART
OF WILSON SPEECH
Germans Not Supplied by Semi
official Bureau With the
Czernin Paragraph.

The Hague, Feb. Ia via London, Feb.
Is delayed.
Two reports OF President Wilson's ad-
dress to Congress were published in Ger
many, one by the semi-offcial Xurian
Wolff bureau, which the Berlin morning
papers published, and another by pri-
vate agency, which was published in the
s O'Clock edition of the National Xeitung
Tuesday night. The Nossische Xeitung
has discovered that seemingly most
important paragraph was missing in the
Wolff report" and supplements it from
the private agency report rs follows:
Count Czernin seems To have clear
insight into the fundamental elements
of peace. Nevertheless, he appears anM
Gus TO obscure them. He knows that
il is of European interest that an IN
dependent Poland, consisting Of all the
coherent countries that undoubtedly be
long to the Polish race, be formed. Tic
also knows that Belgium must be evac-
uatcd, no matter what sacrifice II MAY
cost, and what concessions must he made.
Following is the correct text OF the cx-
tract:
Count Czernin seems to see the fun
damental elements of peace with clear
ewes. and does not seek 10 obscure them.
made up of all the indisputably Polish
peoples who lie contiguous to one an
other, is a matter of European concern.
and must, of course, be conceded; that
Belgium must be evacuated and restored,
no matter what sacrifices and conceS
sions that may involve; and that ma
tionsl aspirations must be satisfied, even
within his own empire, in the com
mon interest OF Europe and mankind.
This NAV be a simple error IN trans
mission, although the passage was not
omitted In the Reuter- telegram pub
nshed in Holland and transmitted by
the Wolff Agency here,
WARNS AGAINST WILSON WEDGE"
The Vossische Zeitung comments as
follows:
I'll this version be correct, it insinuates
that the Austrian minister is willing TO
tear off territory from Prussia for Poland S
benefit Such an lnsinuatiOn deserves
no answer, all the more since the Austro-
Polish problem had ceased to exist
However. one would not do Wilson
full Justice If one were to discuss as merely
a catchword the wedge he seeks TO drive
into the German-Austrian alliance. He
knows very well that there Is a strong
element In Germany herself urging a mis-
taken war policy, and the friendly words
he addresses TO Czernin are also meant
for German ears He wishes to Illustrate
the consolidation Of our inner front
against the Anglo-Saxon peril,
THAT is the real reason why Wilson
wishes neither 10 slander nor threaten,
why he selected that concillatory form
and pretends as If he were ready for q
bargain This friend iness Is more dan
gerous than the swashbucklng fright
fulness of Lloyd George"
There Is hardly one Berlin paper this
morning that does not allude To the
wedge" mentioned by the Vossische
Zeitung, though most of them were not
aware of the omission In the Wolf re-
port. AS vet the comments are some
what vague, and few papers ike the
influential Centrlst organ Germania and
the Conservative organ hTeuz Eeltung
merely print the Wolff report, resery-
ing comment for later editions

PATRIOTIC STUDENTS.
Pupils ut School No. II Doing Much 10
Rod CrOag

Public School No. II, at Ninth and du
Pont streets, is pioneer among tho
junior Red Cross workers and u an
excellent example of what can be done by
the school children.
The FIRST returns Of the work from this
school were made on December lst. Thus
far the pupils have turned IN 30 scarfs,
II pairs OF socks, "a sweaters, O helmets,
and % 1-2 dozen towels, besides many
wristlets and other small articles. The
school is still hard at it, all work being
done outside Of school hours.
Miss Elizabeth Bullock, teacher, was
detailed TO take charge of the Red Cross
work done by the school The principal,
MISS Jackson, and the other teachers
have given their heartiest cooperation
To the work.
Most OF the pupils attending the school
are OF Italian parentage. In one class
oi III pupils 81 OF them are Italians.
All the pupils, Of whatever nationality,
have WED with each other to see how
much they could do and how many Others
of their families and friends they could
interest.
In some cases the families were too poor
to buy knitting needles, but so great was
their zeal that they Strengthened the wire
handles OF grape baskets to make needles
and knitted with these uncomfortable
Instruments.
School No Il is so congested that one
Of the roo ms has 81 pupils and only AZ
seats, but this disadvantage has not
deferred the patriotic efforts Of tho
children

JEWS wANDERINGs A BLESSING
Rabbi Swiren Delivers Interesting Ad-
dress at Adas Kodesh Synagogue.

Rabbi Swiren, at the Adas Kodesh
Synagogue last night delivered most
interesting address on Wandering a Bur
den or Blessing"
In the course of his discourse Rabbi
Swiren endeavored to prove, supporting
his proofs with historical references, that
the wanderings Of the Jewish people
proved of much benefit to the world at
large and the Jewish people in particular,
in that it was during the days Of wander
ing and exile that the Jew produced that
which remains of permanent value to
mankind.
Beginning with Abraham, the patriarch,
and following with the other Jewish
leaders who helped TO spread the idea Of
the unity Of God, and ending with "Moses
ben Hanoch, who introduced Judaism IN
Span, Rabbi Swiren pointed out the signi-
hcanoe Of Jewish wandering Now
however" he continued, is the time
to stop wandering and look forward 10 the
esta biishment of Jewish home in Pales-
tine. and closed his sermon with prayer
for the success Of the Zionist movement
The services were supplemented with the
singing by The choir Of the ancient Jewish
hymns.

Renewing Side walks.

AS the frost begins TO come out OF the
ground it Is playing havoc with sidewalks
that are not substantial, and many
persons are having their sidewalks renew
ed. The Street and Sewer Department
is recommending the Use of substantial
paving, and the suggestion is being pretty
generally adopted. As property owners
are liable for accidents in front of their
premises due TO bad pavements it is to
their advantage 10 have sidewalks that
are not likely 10 give trouble.

checker In q prominent London restau-
rant when a man beside him. noticing
his blindness, took it gently from him
and held it while he slipped his arms

as a tip.

said a friend of the lieutenant, with

You was General -"
The blind soldier blushed and asked
the pardon Of the general, but the lat

I'll accept your shilling and I'll treas
ure it as a souvenir of one of the best
soldiers who ever fought for Canada

turn from the line of fire not merely
with an eye shot out, but with the en-

Until the present moment there has
never existed any means for conceal

the unfortunate victim the appearance
of a normal nan possessing two eyes.
But quite recently a French oculist,
Henri Einius, has made it possible to
do this even when the eyelid is entire
