 ADA TO THIS COUNTRY.

,Washington, April 26-A delegatior of newspaper publishers appealed tc the shipping board today for aid il bringing 63 900 cords of wood pull from Canada to this country to re- lieve the rapid depletion If print paper stocks. The publishers were told that 130 ships which will he transferred this summer from the Great Lakes 10 the Atlantic ocean will be allowed to bring out the wood pulp if that does not interfere with the proposed movement of coal from NCta Scotia 10 New England.
 Some Of the ships ara already nov ing toward the sea, two weeks later than contemplated, because of the lateness of the spring which kept the channels blocked with ice. Approxi- mately 100 of the vessels will be put to carrying coal from Hampton Roads to New England in order 10 lessen the strain on the railroads. It was plan ned to utilize their outward voyage by loading fuel at sydney, N. <, which has become increasingly desirable owing to delay at Norfo k in the ac- emulation of coal for which New England states are clamoring to pre- vent a repai,ion of tho shortage Of last winter.

This guard and Lewis exchanged several shots and it is believed that one of these killed Palmer. who was inside the stockade. Penitentiary officials Isay that Lewis will be tried imme- dlately on a charge of first decreq murder.

PRESIDENT REVIEWS THE
 WASHINGTON PARADE
The Subscriptions Throughout the Country Have Passed the Two BH- lion Dollar Mark-st. Louis District Has Largest Quota of Subscribers.

Washington, April 2G.-Strong rein forcements came to the nations third popular war credit today as a result .of the celebration of Liberty Day with .parades and demonstrations in prac-
 ticallv every part ot the country and the campai2u now three weeks old, vas given new impetus for the final week which starts next Monday. To- tai subscriptions of S2 ,035, 200 were reported tonight by. the treasury. but this represented pledges received by hanks and trust companies up to the |openinl of business today. and todays
 business will not be tahulated entirely
 before tomorrow night
 The loan period is 15 per cent over and only e per cent of the three bill lions sought has been subscribed This
 is the consideration which prompted .officials to send out wor dto local com
 mittoeS to exert every lit of energy .tc haVest more subscriptions. On the .cther hand, it $ recalled that when the second Liberty loan campagn was three-fourths over only $Ll9a0o0. GOO subscriptions had been reported off
 cially and more than $3l0p.000. 900 pledges rolled in during the last week.
 President Wilson. who proclaimed this Liberty Day spent the afternoon reviewing the lone procession of 10000 government clerks and other Wash ington citizens with a few soldiers which filed up Pennsylyania avenue
 for more than three hours and half. ' Ii was the longest parade the capital has seen since the inauaurauon and Itha president stood in his automobile
 before the white house for the whole time with hat over his heart a large
 part of the time as the hundreds of flags went by
 Ruth Law, in light aeroplare. and militare ayiators in their heavy ma chimes hummed overhead looping and
 diving, and thousands of persons who were in Washineton for war time work lIned the avenue to cheer the march CTS. HeHdJoI5 anu FepfeSentdtlN turned out with flags and Liberty loan banners, and Secertary Daniels
 trudeed at the head of the big con
 tingent of naval officers and navy de- partment employees
 Similar parades or military pageants
 were held elsewhere and brief mes sages to headquarters tonight said the sight of marching soldiers brought the quickest response from bond buyers.

 Prisoners estimated that at least two and probably three German com pauies were wiped out in a few min utcs The machines returned in such horrible condition from the Shamblos that they had to be washed down One German prisoner had a rough eX- rcriencc with the small tanks and lived to tell the story, although he was much shaken as result of his eN- perionce.

Be "Thankful" Now!

The President proclaims November
2s as day Of national Thanksgiving.
There is no reason for waiting until
then to give thanks, even though on
that day all may assemble to voice
their gratitude publicly and reverently.
To those who are truly thankful for
victory and the prospect Of peace an
opportunity is Immediately at hand for
IA practical demonstration.
If you are sincerely thankful for the
success Of our forces abroad in bring
ing the enemy to his knees, give some
thing to the fund to maintain the seven
organizations that are keeping those
men in spirits and in moral health.
The hours are slipping past. Tomor-
row night the books are closed. If
by then you have not subscribed you
will have reason to question your own
sincerity.
True thankfulness for victory seeks
a means of expression. The best pos
sib1e manner Of expression today is a
gift of money to the end of assuring
the men in khaki and blue that the
home folks remember them and appre-
ciate what they have done for America
and for humanity.

America will in the future hold COM

II is most appropriate that here at the
capital should center the efforts Of
not only American but foreign pro-
ducers and commercial agencies to at
tract attention and to insure the study
of commercial requirements and op-
portunities. Here will be held confer
ences relative to q wide range Of sub

lives Of the nations. Here, without
the distractions Of local trade and in
dustry, can most effectively be placed
displays illustrative Of the facilities of

sion Of peace, to commemorate the

This course is to be commended.

Of business to transact; and the ma
jority will be responsible for what is

Of that body should be Of the best pos
sible, and prepared for the wear and
tear Of continuous hard work.
TAs speakership is mot the exaeting

eipally with the duties Of such . place.
Still he must be constantly on deck,
and constantly on the alert against
danger. And then, at any time, as q
member Of the House, he may want to

The Presidents Visit to Paris.

Lacking full information regarding
the reasons which impel the President
of the United States to 60 to Paris to
take part in the discussion Of the main
features of the treaty Of peace, the
American people view his decision to
that end with distinct misgivings. It
Is possible that there are urgent causes
for this most striking of his departures
from the American precedent that the
chief executive shall never leave the
soil of the United States. They are
not apparent, however, and in tho pres
ent light of information his course
will be viewed with grave distrust and
doubt as to its wisdom.
The President announces that he will
probably not remain throughout the
sessions of the formal peace confer
ence, which indicates that he recog-
nizes the necessity of confning his
visit abroad to the shortest possible
limits in order to return quickly to
Washington. If Congress takes its Gus
tomary recess in December over the
Christmas holidays this period Of sepa-
ration will be reduced, but short Of a
prolonged adjournment there must be
q time Of legislative activity without
the possibility of that executive CO.
operation which the Constitution con-
templates.
Legislation enacted during the Pres
ident's absence from the country will
become effective only through default
Of the Presidents signature under the
ten-day clause Of the Constitution.
There is no provision for an ad into.
rim executive. Should an emergency
arise requiring immediate enactment
during the Presidents visit abroad,
which cannot extend over less than
three weeks in the best Of circum-
stances, there is no way to insure i'm
mediate results.
Furthermore, there is the physical
danger attempting sea voyage at this
time. There are no submarines now
lying in wait for ships at sea, but
mines are afoat in European waters,
swept from their moorings or cast
adrift by the enemy before the armis-
tice and washed about in the path of
shipping. The perils of ordinary sea.
faring are greatly increased.
It is stated in the official announce
ment that the Presidents presence at
the outset" Of the peace conference "is
necessary in order to obviate the man
ifest disadvantages of discussion by
cable in determining the greater out
lines of the final treaty, about which
he must necessarily be consulted" !"
American delegates will accompany
him and will sit as the representatives
Of the United States throughout the
conference. They will presumably go
with full instructions. Meanwhile the
cables are free and open and should
the President desire to address the
world at large on the broader CUES
tions of peaeemaking he has at his
command a medium of communication
through the Congress Of tho United
States.
