Admiral Beatty as beneath contempt,
is now no more.
General DickmanS American army
has it's headquarters at Treves, and
from it reports come that fatty con-
tradict the idea that the Germans are
short of food and clothing. The peo-
pie in the occupied districts are studi-
Ously Indifferent to the invaders or
openly eager to keep up their trade.
The French and British have been
moving forward in their zones with
little incident.
Among the loot already recovered
from the Germans is the S6O,0NOO0
taken from the Russian treasury. The
Huns also have returned a rich art
collection that was stolen from st.
Quentin. and other paintings taken
from ValencienneS.

The all-RusSan government at Omsk
appears to be gaining in stability, but
the bolsheviki have not let up in their
trouble-making. An Eruption of Reds
into Esthonia has alarmed the govern
ment there, numbering, burning and
plundering being unhindered. 1.-Two
MIA also has been invaded by them.
A call for help by sea was sent out,
and a few days ago British fleet ar
rived at Libau. The vessels probably
will proceed to Revel and land men TO
stop the slaughter The bOlShevik au-
thoritieS in western Russia have turn
ed back 100000 Russian soldiers who
have been prisoners in Germany, and
it was reported that the men had seiz-
ed four ships at Danzig which the
British Red Cross had obtained from
| Germany for the housing of prisoners,

Before President Wilson left the
country he delivered his address to
| congress reassembled for the short
session. He paid glowing tribute to
| the forces of America, military and
civilian, which helped win the war, and
said he was going across to interpret
his ideas of world peace because he
| considered that was his bounden duty.
But he did not give any specific inforr-
nation as TO his plans, nor did he so
much as mention his colleagues on the
| peace delegation. In dealing with do
nestle matters, the president said he
was convinced it would be wrong 10
turn the railroads back to private own
/ ership under present conditions, but
! that unless congress solved the ques-
| tiOn in the near future he would rei1n-
| quish the roads. Other matters that
he asked congress to act upon quickly
were the revenue bill, the navy build
ing plan and woman suffrage. Secre-
| tary Daniels plan for the navy is for
steady and rapid increase of the fleet.
| for which he asks about $434 000,OO0.
| The estimates submitted to congress
by Secretary Baker provide for regu-
lar army of approximately 100000, but
certain items are included that leave
| the question of the strength of the
| army open until after the conclusion
of peace.
The American troops already arr
coming back from Europe, the first TO
arrive. except for the wounded being
the aviation units that were training
| In England.
As was expected, the president APP
pointed Congressman Carter Glass OF
/ Virginia to succeed Mr. McAdoo as
secretary of the treasury. He has been
chairman of the house committee on
| banking and currency and his selection
for the cabinet position meets WITH
general approval.
While the rest of the world is turn
ing TO the ways of peace, Chile and
| Peru are preparing for war. The an
cient quarrel over the provinces OF
| Tacna and AFRICA has been revived. the
people have been insulting and proyok-
ing each other and the situation is crit
ical. The armies of the two countries
| have been ordered TO mobilize. and
unless wiser counsels prevail HOSTILE
| ties will follow before long. The
| United States has no intention of in
tervening in the squabble, but num-
Der of our warships have been dis
patched to Valparaiso 10 protect Amer
