In visiting Europe the president will
establish two precedents. He will be
the first chief executive of the United
States to participate in a peace con-
ference, for the settling of issues grow
ing out of a war in which this country
participated, and likewise ne will be
the first presidentto leave North Amer
ica during his term of office.
In reaching his decision to attend the
peace conference, President Wilson is
understood to have been influenced
largely by representations from Pre-
miers Lloyd George of Great Britain
and Clemenceau of France. and other
statesmen of the entente countries The
principles and terms of settlement
enunciated by the president have been
accepted by both the associated ma
tons and the central powers, as the
basis upon which peace is to be re-
established, and it is understood that il
is for the working out of the applica ton
Of these principles that his presence is
so earnestly desired by the allied states
men.
To Attend Preliminaries
Since the president is to sail for
France early next month, it seems Ger
tain that he will reach Paris several
weeks before the peace congress as
TO be to participate in the conference
now proceeding at Versailles. as the
preliminary to the meeting of the peace
commissioners. He thus will have op-
portunlty to discharge in person, for
the fIrst time, the duties of his mem
bershlp in the supreme war council in
which he is now represented by Colonel
Z. NJ. House.
In the general view here, the sessions
of the supreme war council. which bring
together the entente premiers with tho
representatives of the United States.
are of first importance, for in all prob
ability it will be at these sessions that
the general program which is to govern
the peace congress will be arranged
The president will attend the opening
sessions of the congress at which the
broad principles of the treaty will be
settled, but he will not remain for the
subsequent detailed discussions and
settlements of the various questions
| This will be the work of the commits
slcnerS he soon is to name to represent
the United States
Legality Is Questioned
By carrying out this unusual program
/ of having the conference draft and
adopt general peace treaty at the out
set, the president and the entente pre-
miers will be able, soon after the COM
mission assemblies, to return to their
own countries and attend to important
business at home.
Since the suggestion that the presi-
dent attend the peace conference first
was made, there has been much discus
sion here as TO whether. while absent
from the country, he could continue to
act AS president. The constitution itself
is silent on the question and generally

With the adoption Of this method
OF conserving the man power Of the

for the opening of the convalescing
infirmary at the base hospital, one
section of which is a reconstruction

Teaching COnvalcscent Patients.
Two of the Il new barrack build

valescing patients and the entire in
stitution will be put in operation in
a few days While military disci-
pline will be enforced the atmos
phere about the place will be more
like a club than a hospital, with a
view TO bringing about speedy re-

be taught telegraphy They will be
instructed in wigwag and sema-

The patients will be classified into
four groups The first group will
consist OF resting cases. They will
walk 70 the mess hall for meals and
receive lectures. The second group
Will be made up of those who are
able TO take light exercise. They
will go out on short walks, accom-
panied by medical officers. The
third group will include those able
TO drill. which periods will be Of
short duration. probably half an
hour at time. The fourth group
will be known as the recOnstruc-
ton class.
Men coming into the army who
are found to have slight physical
defects will be assigned to this lat
ter section with a view TO fitting
them for general military service.
Special physical exercises will be
prescribed for each individual case.

If Germany Had Won-Terms
Decided on for "Beaten"
Allies,

What Germany once thought of
demanding of the allies was published
June 80, 1918, in the Nachrichten OF
Goerlitz by Count Room "a member
of the Prussian house of lords. Ac-
cording to this German peace pro-
gram which came through Havres
dispatch from Basel, Switzerland, at
that time the following conditions
were included: .
Annexation of Belgium, with ad-
ministrative autonomy in the interior.
independence of Flanders.
Annexation of the entire Flanders
coast, including Calais.
Annexation of the Bricy and Long
wy basins and the Toul, Belfort and
Verdun regions eastward.
Restitution to Germany of all her
colonies, including Kiao-Chau.
Great Britain to cede to Germany
such naval bases and coaling stations
as Germany deslgnates.
Great Britain must return Gibral-
tar to Spain, cede its war fleet to. Ger
many, restore Egypt to Turkey, and
the Suez Canal to Turkey.
Greece must be re-established un-
der King Constantine, with frontiers
as before the war
Austria and Bulgaria will divide
Serbia and Montenegro.
Great Britain, France and the
United States must pay all of Ger
many's war. costs, the indemnity be-
ing minimum of $45,000, 100000.
They also must agree to deliver raw
materials Immediately.
France and Belgium are to remain
occupied at their expense until the
conditions are carried out.
Count Room, the dispatch stated,
said Germany was entitled to these
terms because of its strength, and
that until they were realized there
should be no armistice and no cessa-
ton of submarine warfare.

Care of the Eyes.

The following excellent sugges-
tions on the care of the eyes have
been issued by the Illinois Society
for the Prevention of Blindness. They
are well worth reading and remem-
bering:
Take as good care of your eyes as
you would of your watch. You can
buy new watch, but you can't buy
new eyes.
Wear glasses if the doctor advises
you to do so.
Don't use your eyes in a poor or
flickering light.
Have the light shine on your work
or book-not in your eyes.
Hold your work or book IA or Is
inches from your eyes.
Don't rub your eyes with dirty
hands.
Don't use other peoples towels,
wash cloths, handkerchiefs, etc.
Have sore eyes and granulated lids
treated promptly, and as long as the
doctor thinks necessary.
If you suspect eye trouble, see an
oculist at once.
Don't let any one but an oculist
examine your eyes.-EX.

Fiendish Hun Cruelty.
(New York National Humane
RevieW.)

! The fendish cruelty of the German
Empire has been exemplifed time
and time again. Nothing shows the
full lack of moral qualities displayed
by the Hun more than an instance de-
scribed in the London Morning Post.
As the British army advanced to oc-
cupy town from which the Germans
had retreated, the soldiers discovered
a kitten hanging by it's forepaws
from door to which it was nailed.
"The wretched creature, which
must have been where it was found
at least an hour or two, was mewing
|piteously in its agony and struggling
desperately with its hind feet to re-
lease itself.
"With natural instinct of pity
for suffering dumb animal, one of
the British soldiers rushed forward
to release the unhappy kitten. He
pulled out the nails that pierced it's
paws, but in the moment that he did
so there was flash and roar, and
his mutilated and dismembered body
was flung aross the street.
ga hidden explosive charge had
been set off by the withdrawal of the
nails. The retreating Hun had laid
his trap and had baited it with the
kitten nailed to the door. He calcu-
lated that such an appeal to British
humanity would be irresistible; and
he was right"

Well Named Destroyer.
From the Bellman.

From the Bellman.
The action of the navy department
in giving the name of the late Ben
iamin r. Tillman to a recently COM
pleted destroyer emphasizes in
most striking way, the contribution
which he made to the development
of our national life during the last
quarter of a century. In a sense, he
was himself destroyer, though he
was much more than that. The vessel
bearing his name has the mission to
help in. clearing the world Of those
agencies, typifed at this time by the
German government, which represent
the uses of ruthless power. These
must be destroyed, not alone that
we may be rid of them, but that we
may build on their ruins the structure
cf saner democracy.
During Tillman's long term of SER
vice in the senate the country has
passed through little less than a revo-
luton, and there have been few OF its
phases that have not owed something
to him. His advent in public life CO.
incided with the populist movement,
and he was at the time considered TO
be one Of the most Grotesque OF It's
p,0otaronists. "Pitchfork" Ti!iman he
was called. and his savage and fire.
ouently Incorporate attacks on his
opponents justified his name. Some
cf the ideas for which ne fought have
died a natural death, but more OF
them have been embodied in construc-
tive legislation enacted in many cases
by the same men who two decades
ago. were their most violent oppo-
nents.
Responsibility, as is always the case
sobered him. and while his vision OF
democracy never grew dim, it became
less Utopian. lie was willing to pro-
ceed step by step, to pass from one
thing to another, rather than to at
tempt to reach the goal at q single
bound.
For twenty-four years Senator Till
man served as member Of the naval
affairs committee, and his part in the
building of the new navy was no.
table one. He saw it, not as the IN
strument of an aggressive imperial
ism. but as part Of the police force
of the world. It became the major IN
tarest of his life. He visited the ships
constantly, and acquired an intimate
knowledge, not alone of the details
of their construction, but of the life
of the officers and men. In no small
measure it was due to him that our
navy, when asked how soon it could
be prepared for active service in the
great war, was able to respond, 1--WE
are ready now, sir"
