tlement of Features of Peace
Treaty; May Ooen Conference.

EUROPEAN VISIT.
Meeting VIII Be First Between Ex-
ecutives Of Two Great Repub-
lic-Notable Event.

President Wilson will go to France
early in December to take part IN the
discussion and settlement of the main
features of the treaty of peace. His
decision to accept the invitation of
the Allied premiers was made known
Monday night in formal statement
from the White House.
The President plans to sail imme-
diately after the opening of the regu-
lar session of Congress on December
End How long he will remain abroad
is not known.
Mr.. Wilson will be the first Presi-
dent to visit Europe and also the first
to attend a peace conference for the
settlement of issues growing out of a
war in which the United States cook
part.
No announcement of the plans for
the Presidents trip has been made,
He is expected, however, to make the
voyage on a battleship, as did Presl-
dents Roosevelt and Taft when they
visited the Panama Canal Zone. Mrs.
Wilson undoubtedly will accompany
him and his immediate party proba-
bly, will include Joseph ?. Tumuity,
his private secretary; Rear Admiral
Cary T. Grayson, his personal physl-
clan, and military and naval aides.
Escorted by War Crafts.
The President will be escorted into
a French port by French Ig2r craft
and possibly also by vessels of he
P-,itish and Italian navies Troops to

the President in France probably will
consist of units from each of the Al
lied armies.

Wilson and Presfden Poinacre will be
the first between the chief executives

will be the first time that President
of this country has visited foreign
capital. Before returning home Mr..
Wilson probably will go to London
and Brussels and possibly Rome. He
also may make a pilgrimage to some
of the battlefelds in France.
President Wilson's purpose in go
ing to France in advance of the meet
ing of the peace congress is under
stood to be to discuss withtheAllied
premiers at Versailles the program to
bo laid down for the guidance ofthe
peace delegates when they meet. 1t
has been suggested that Mr.. Wilson
will probably be invited to preside at
the opening session of thepeace con-
ference.

THE MINISTER'S PAY.

Golfers Weekly.
Ministers of the Gospel have never
gone on a strike for high. n pay and
never will, but without exception
there in no class more deserving OF
better salaries. The acceptable edu-
cational qualification for minister
is his possession of academic and the
ological degrees. AS theological stu
dents do not generally come from the
rich or well-to-do, many ministers be-
gin their professional careers under
the handicap of debt securing an edu-
cation, and it may take years to wipe
out their obligations.
The pastor of a church must be
social and spiritual leader, an organl-
zer and executive, and many times
the managers of the financial affairs.
of his parish. For all this he receives
on the average far less than day la
borer. An average in ten OF the
largest denominations is less than
$500 a year. In the smaller denomi-
nations and those whose constituency
is largely rural, the average IS far
less. Yet he is expected to keep up
with the best standard of living IN the
community, to be well read, well at
tired and up to date, andsomehow to
worry along without word of COM
plaint. Under all the circumstances
it is remarkable he does so we'll, an
.hievement in which the mistress of

overworked, has no small part

penses are in billions are freely CIV

high and when more money is IN cir
culation than ever before in the ma
tion's history, it is only common JUS
tice for every congregation IN the
land to dig down into its pockets and

now.

BUILDING MORALE
OF JEWISH TROOPS
Work OF Jewish Welfare Board Pre-
dueing Splendid Results In
Camps and Trenches

No more effective work toward
maintaining the highest morale among
the American troops has been done
by any war organization than by the
Jewish Welfare Board, which is eS-
gagged In its task of keeping UP the
lines of communication between the
Jewish men in the trenches and
training camps and the folks back
home.
Believing that in the struggle OF
morale against "kultur' the American
army has every advantage that will
insure success, the Jewish organlza-
tion is making it's chief issue the
stiffening of mental and moral fibre
among the soldiers of the Hebrew
faith. The call for workers is urgent
and rabbis, professional men, journal
lists, social workers and others are
entering the service of the Jewish
Welfare Board to make up the 400
workers needed to fill the ranks.

HANCOCK COUNTY CHAPTER RED CROSS
NEWS NOTES AND COMMENT OF THE WEEK

than the exception. The work of
the Red Cross now stretches around
the world and is more and more be-
coming known as the spirit of the
American people transmitted into
action. We have two million men
overseas, and it will take three times
as long to bring them back. So long
as a regiment remains, the RedCross
as now, stands by.
We have and shall have thousands
of wounded, amputated, convalescent
men abroad and at home. So long
as they need nursing and cheer, the
Red Cross, as now, stands by.
All over our land there are sol
diers' homes in need of information,
of counsel, of sympathy and comfort.
Until "the boys come home until
families are reunited, the Red Cross,
as now, stands by.
On a hundred hard-fought fields
there are heroes graves to be identi
fed. marked and honored-and here
at home thousands of hearts to be
comforted by the knowledge of where
their loved ones sleep. So long as
sorrow sobs out it's grief, the Red
Cross, as now, stands by.
The Greatest Mother in theWorld.
The Red Cross is the Greatest
Mother in the World because it is
tho embodiment of mercy-and mer-
cy is the test of brotherhood las bro
therhood is the test of democracy.
The Red Cross has been the prac
ticaI prophet Of peace. Through the
storm of battle it has gone to the 5orn
and tortured peoples, ground beneath
the heel of british savagery, and car
ried to them healing and sustenance
and help. 1t has fed the hungary,
clothed the naked, cared for the sick,
sheltered the homeless-ministered
as a mother to the distressed chill
dren of men.
And it's work has only begun, as
the war has left the world broken and
bleeding. The very machinery Of life
is left shattered and disorganlzed.
AS nation after nation emerges from
the struggle they will need encourage
nent and help for the problems tina
confront them.
We can now see that Americas
greatness was not for the keeping but
for the giving-and not forthesavlng
hut for the spending and her real
greatness is her capacity for service
Service for the common good.
For the gospel of service the Red
Cross stands.
And it's work will not be ended un-
til a redeemed and rebuilded world
reioices in the Justice, the Righteous
ness and the Lasting Peace of self
governing Democracy.
Let US continue to show ourselves
equal to any call, ready to respond to
any emergency, and report at Bay st.
Louis headquarters right away.
Keep the annual meeting in mind
for next Wednesday night at 1880
o'clock.
