vice l was allowed a furIough and went up to Paris for two weeks rest. But the big drive was on, the hos pitals were filled with wounded. nurses were worked to the limit of their en- durance. so when Mrs Vanderbilt, head of the canteen service. asked me t" help out in the hospitals as aid. l gladly consented. Il was sent 10 an American Red Cross military hospital at Neuilly. near Paris. where I was put in the jaw wounds ward of SO beds to do nurses aid work. There I served until October.
 'T was in Paris during the celebra- tion of July 4 and July IA. and shall never forget it. it was so won-' derful The French did everything to show their gratitude and appre- citation for the American soldiers.
 "The passivity of the people Of i Paris, during the bombardment and air raids. was a marvel to me, for l never could attain the nonchalance with which the average Partisan
 greeted those almost daily occurrences In the hotel where 1 stayed the
 guests would be aroused at night by an air attack and would take refuge
 in the basement. where they would enjoy a game of auction bridge CT
 music. while the anti-aircraft guns and the French planes battIed with the Boche.
 While the men are taking the course ot training they will receive a month . ly compensation equal to their last mcnth's pay while in active service or tho amount of compensation allowed by the bureau of war risk insurance, which ever amount is the greater. The families will receive allowance in the same man ner as if they were enlisted men.
 The fact that a man has received a vo- cational education and thereby increased his earning power will in no way effect the amount of compensation he should receive from the bureau of war risk in sCrance as this is calculated on the basis of his physical disability and not on the basis of his vocational efficiency. The government will be inclined to be more liberal with the man who has made himself a more productive citizen by talk ing voca tional training
 The government through the medium of the Red Cross will endeavor to enroll every disabled soldier or sailor in some course of vocational training in order to make self-supporting and efficient, men who would otherwise be non-pro- drcers in the industrial field.

City or to Charitable

Harrisburg is to have another OPP
portunity to buy government food
stuffso that the wars end prevented
from taking a sea trip. Announce
ment came from the New Cumberland
depot this moring that in addition to
the 100000 pounds of canned meat
that was put out for sale few days
ago, negotiations may be opened for
purchase of vegetables.
Lieutenant c. S. Boyle in charge
of surplus supplies at the depot, stat
ed that he had on hand enough to-
matoes to feed the entire State of
Pennsylvania. The tomatoes come in
cases, of "a cans the case. and the
lieutenant has some 250,000 cases on
hand. In addition to this he has
about 100000 cases of canned peas
and corn. All this stuff is on sale in
addition to the meat supply.
In Carload Lots
The arrangement, as announced by
the Secretary of War, who wired the
New Cumberland depot to release the
canned vegetables, is to sell the food
only in car load lots and then only to
municipality, state, or charitable
organization. 1t is not required that
those submitting bids confine them
selves to one product, but mixed car
loads may be purchased.
The war department is desirous of
having cities name committees to
take charge of the buying of as
much as they consider necessary and
to see that it is retailed. While the
cost of Wholesale lots may not be
announced, according to government
order, 1t is said that the food will be
very reasonable in price.

WILSON URGES
RESUMPTION OF
GERMAN TRADE
Says 1t Would Greatly Help
Huns to Meet Reparations
Demanded of Them
TO HOLD U. S. TROOPS
Believes They Should Stay on
Rhine Until All Material
Is Delivered
HELP RECONSTRUCTION
President Feels That America
Should Play Generous Part
in Aiding Europe
By Associated Press.

Washington, July 10.-President
Wilson, comforting with newspaper
correspondents at the White House
to-day indicated that he was ex-
tremely gratified that the Treaty of
Peace had been ratified so prompt
ly by the German National Assembly.
The President also indicated that
he felt trade relations between Ger
many and the associated nations
should be resumed at the earliett
moment possible, for without trade
Germany could not meet the repara-
tions demanded of her.
1t was made clear that the Presi-
dent felt troops should be maintain
ed ir Germany. until the Germans
had complied with all the military
terms of the Treaty. 1t was pointed
out that there were several million
veteran soldiers in Germany and
munitions sufficient for them to op-
crate.
The Germans have from one to
four months ir which to deliver all
material except that sufficient for
the reduced German army provided
for in the Peace Treaty, and the
Presient believes American troops
should stay on the Rhine until the
material is delivered.
Discussing the peace negotiations
at Paris, President Wilson let it
be known that the League of Nations
Covenant will be in every treaty ne
gotiated at Versailles. including that
wwrfA TCW.na-
the United SStaStes never was at war.
In response to questions regard
ing the Fiume situation, the Presi-
dent pointed out that the Treaty of
Lordon provided that F'iume was to
go to Croatia and that Italy did not
lay claim to the city when that
treaty was ratified by the various
governments.
Mr.. Wilson feels that the United
States must play generous part in
the reconstruction Of Europe, but he
believes this should be accomplished
by establishing some sound basis of
credit rather than by direct govern
ment aid.
To Protect France
Mr.. Wilson has the impression
that the French people would be cut
to the heart IL the United States
ohouiu id' 10 approve the special
treaty. He does not believe there
would be any difficulty in recogniz-
ing such an act of aggression by
Germany as would necessitate
American aid to France under the
pact.
Mr.. Wilson let it be known to the
correspondents that the treaty with
France was designed for the pro-
lection of France until such time
as this special guarantee would no
longer be needed because of the pro
lection to be afforded all nations bv
the League of Nations.
