Anniversary of Eminent
 American Statesman

Hartford county, Maryland, was the birthplace 8 century ago today of Samuel Jordan Kirkwood, "war gov ernor" of Iowa, United States Sena- tor and cabinet maker. Kirkwood left his native state and removed to Ohio in 1885 and began his career as "a lawyer in the Buckeye State. He went to Iowa in 1855, and almost i'm mediately became prominent in poli- tics. A year after his arrival he en- tered the Senate of his adopted state, and in 1859 he was elected governor of Iowa as the candidate of the Re- publican party. At that Des Moines, a rude frontier village, had just been made the capital of the state. Kirk wood was reelected governor in 1861, and was of great assistance to the Union cause during the struggle be- tween the North and the South. After the war he was elected to the United States Senate but in 1875 he was again elected governor of Iowa. He returned to the Senate the following year, and remained in that body until he entered President Garfle1d's cabi- net as Secretary of the Interior. After relinquishing that portfolio he retired to private life. and died in Iowa City in 1894.

ILSON ASSURES
 ITALY HE STANDS WHOLLY FOR RIGHT
(continued from Page one)


 The opening meeting of the inter allied conference will be confined to representatives of the allies and the United States who win arrange common basis of action for the formal sessions of the peace congress which will open toward the middle or latter part of January. It is expected that the German delegates then wall be present for the first time. It is pointed out that as this is not a me- gotiated peace, but a victorious peace based on virtual unconditional sur- render. in which the en,amy has been compelled to give up all demanded, the main purpose of the preliminary conference beginning early in Janu- ary is to arrange a common front for the peace congress.
 For that reason the conferences going on between the President and Premier Orlando of Italy and later with Premier Lloyd George in Lon don have an important bearing on this preliminary adjustment.
