 This official statement was issued at the White House.:
 The president expects to sail for France immediately after the open ing of the regular session of Con gross, for the purpose of taking part in the discussion and settlement of he main features of the treaty of peace.

The Fighting Irish
 + By NORREYS JEPHSON O'CCNOR of The YigiianfeS

Where are the fighting Irish? This question has often been asked in the past few months by those who have continually wondered that Irishmen could traffic with Germans and, under the name of Sim Fein, endanger civi- lization. Those who complain thus have forgotten that noble band of Irishmen and Irishwomen which has been supporting the war since August, 1914. Officers and men of the Irish Guards, the Connaught Rangers, the Munster and Dublin FusiierS, and of other Irish regiments, have contrib uted some of the mos. distinguished pages of the history of the war by their deeds of val0r, not to speak of the achievements of men of Irish birth and traditions in other regiments from Great Britain and from overseas. The name of the Irish Guards will ever he associated with the retreat from Mons, as the names of the Mum ster and Dublin Fusiliers will be asSo- ciated with Gallipol.
 It is not too mech to say that the most noted Irishmen in every walk of life have been supporting the war and have not been connected with the plans and purposes of the Sim Fein group Lord Ardee, heir of the Earl of Meath, the famous commander of the Irish Guards, and the Earl of Kingston, who. though seriously wounded, returned to the trenches, are typical of the long list of gentlemen well-known in Irish society who in four years of war have found the from tiers of Ireland facing the German in vader. Lord Dunsany, the most-talk- ed-of Irish writer today, has been with the Innislliling Fusiiers since the out break of hOStilities: his pFotege Fran cis Ledwidge. the Meath peasant poet. who has won permanent place in Irish letters, was a lance corporal in Lord DunSany's regiment and fell in action q year ago. Major William Redmond. member of parliament. and the witty Tom Kettle professor of economies in the National university in Dublin. both gave their lives for the allied cause. Lieutenant Kettle in his posthumous volume, Ways of War has given the Irish opinion of the burners of Louvain; and yet there are some people who assert that If Kettle were now alive he would side with the Sim Fein party. The an swer Is in Kettles volume

CAUSE OF UNDUE TIRE WEAR
Wheels Out of Alignment and Loose or Improperly Mounted Rims
 Are Troublesome.

It Is generally understood nowadays that wheels which are out of align ment cause undue tire wear. Few owners, however, realize that rims which are loose or otherwise improp- erly mounted will have the same effect of causing excessively rapid tread wear. A loose rim generally makes it's presence known by clicking or squeaking sound. This is not always so. for occasionally small stone or some sand may get In between the rim and felloe so as to prevent noise. The rim appears to be tight, but in reality is running out of alignment and wear ing out the tire.

sides investing four million in Thrift stamns. This fine record cannot be told in terms of money alone, for it is the spirit that counts, and the spirit of the colored Americans is passion ately loyal
 Now. when new loan is to he launched the negroes will be found well prepared to meet it. They have raarnpd more about their government in the last year than they ever knew in their lives before. The growing sympathy and appreciation of their pa triotic efforts by the white people nave given them confidence. The success of the colored troops abroad have thrilled them with a pride that Will express itself in renewed efforts.
 During the last year many new so- ciefies have been formed among the colored people and these, with the old established ones, have been ac- lively and intelligently engaged in war work.
 Doina Great Service.
 They have formed committees to sell Tibertv bonds and Thrift stamps; they have helped the two Red Cross drives; they care for the dependents eff negro soldiers; they send comforts to their troops abroad; they have opened their cauteeus in several large cities for the benefit of negro soldiers on leave, and they meet to knit, sew and roll bandages. All this work has been so well organized that the vari- rious societies are now civic centers well prepared to launch any patriotic service with every appearance of sue cess.
 In the magazines and many news papers published by the negroes every effort is being made to encourage their readers to the utmost. Race troubles; the ignominy of Jim Crow ears in the South; the delay of the Red Cross in sending trained cOlored nurses abroad: the antinegro riots In Phila- delphia, have all been passed over with the urgent plea that personal griev- ances be forgotten in the one great unanimous aim-tO win the war.

The Color Line
 .k By ISOBEL FIELD of The VfgiidufeS

Race prejudice is shifting from America over to the hattlefields or France As the pride of our negro sol dier grows in this country very vi0- lent dislike for him is spreading all along the German front In more than one place the color line and the front line of battle merged into one-to the rage and dismay of the Hun.
 The Teuton prejudice against color would be even more intense if Ger many could know what the American negroes are doing in every depart- ment of war work. Our enemies have felt the force of negro valor is eXem- plitied by Henry Johnston Wits his bolo knife and Needham Roberts with his stack of bombs; but there is more behind
 Of the stevedores, George Freeman, the American labor contractor (Who took 1,500 of them to Francc1. says: "They are the finest workers you ever saw. One negro can do four times as much work as any other man, and have fun doing It. The French steve dores stand by and look on with amazement at my hustling gangs. The way they handle 1o0-pound crate makes the Frenchmen's eyes bulge"
 In the shipbuilding yards the whirl- wind methods of the negroes have caused sensation both in this coun- try and in England. Charles Knight, a colored man, won the prize for fast riveting-25 pounds In money-from Lord Northcliffe and letter from fiat Englishman which says "Your worlds record feat of driving 1875 rivets on May 10th has set for American ship builders the fast pace that is neces- sary for carrying on the war success fully. Such an achievement us yours carries across the seas an inspiring message of American domination and ability"

THE APPEAL TO FEAR
By RAYMOND S. SPEARS of the NjniIantee

Nothing is more astonishing than the Prussian belief in the efficacy of fear, of the value of frightening the Eng fish, the French, the Americans and the other races with horrors twice con founded To find it's analogy if Is necessary to turn to the savage races of men, to Indians with their horrid medicine men masks, to the dancing and bowling idol vOtaries of the Afri- can tribes and to the grotesque images of the island peoples of the Pacific ocean.
 It is most extraordinary that the Pruasians should try with science and mechanical ingenuities and spirit-con- jurings to do by complications what the simplicity of the savage tribes tried to de by red and blue paint, the carved heads of dream-land brutes and waving snakes around their heads.
 We see the wireless used to spread rumors of disasters that never hap pened, just as the wild men used to shriek of death or torture The Prus- sians report horrific engines of death, which are but the same as the ancient poisoned arrows and medicines tod make men under test sick and pale.
 What is the meaning of the belief that frightening people can serve against the allies? A Germail .profes. Sor with his myopic speetacles and long discourses on psychology, does de- clare that when men are afraid they are easily whipped in fight. The Teutons believe the professor, who has advanced no further than the medi- cine man of old who faced strangers with painted masks and incoherent shriekingS.
 The fact seems to be that away down in the Prussian heart there is q cer- tainty that fear is efficient; knowing what a gripping. cold-sweating thing terror Is, he believes the other fellow must be afraid, too, and the great prob lcm of life is to scare the other fellow more than oneself.
 A bully believing himself invincibIe, does often present Il strong" front, but his appeal is to fear. since he does not himself know real courage.
