SOLDIER SEES MANY
 HISTORIC PLACES
Visit to Paris Includes Trip to Yer sailles, Where Peace Treaty Is Be-
 ing Prepared.

One of the greatest experiences of Private Olen ward of the A. k. k. was a visit to Paris. In a letter to his father, J. T. Ward, R. r. D. No. 1, of Mena, Soldier Ward tells of the trip to the French capital and some of the historic places he visited there. Among other things of interest he describes are the following:
 "I went to the Louvre and thru it. saw the old paintings and sculp- lures in it, some of them dating back as far as two thousand years B. c. They have a piece of the old temple you have read about in the Bible. also went thru the Palace of Invaladies where Napoleon is buried. 1 saw his tomb and saw the wagon his corpse was hauled in and quite bit of his old stuff the French value so highly. Then yesterday l went to Versailles. That is the prettiest place I believe ever saw That is where the old king used to live. I think it was be- gun by Louis XIII. Then Louis XIV spent seventeen million dollars on it. I was in the room where the king used to have his balls. Then I was in the room where he received his com pany, then on in his bed room, saw all his furniture Then I went into the queens room. went into the big hall of the Mirrors. This is the place where France signed away AL sace-L Lorraine, and now in that room is where peace is to be signed. even saw and put my hand on the table where they are to sign peace. The table is made of the finest mar ble, of many colors and has a rim of gold around it. saw the place where Benjamin Franklin signed the first peace treaty the United States ever signed"

nnAKERs IN RussIA.

A good friend of The Star sends in the following for publication:
 Quakers do not fight until they have to. Often not then. They have their own way of winning vic- tories. Just now English and American Quakers have joined hands to rescue and lift up blood soaked Russia, and they have relief workers in every other war-stricken country. While the American Soci- ety of Friends is making an organ ized effort to help Russian peasants recover normal conditions, com mission of Friends is now to inves- tigate what can be done to help others learn trades and to return the country to peace, order and pro- duction. The Mennonite Church of Kansas and other states is cooper ating in this sensible, practical and helpful work of reconstruction. How much more sensible and effec- tive are such efforts than sending a handful of American troops to that tormented country Our true Americanism speaks in these noble efforts of the Quakers.
 More than 300 years ago the Quakers taught there were better ways to lead and convert men than by shooting and hanging them and burning their homes. This year the whole world has come around to their point of view.-Capper's Weekly.
 This is a pleasant view and hope ful outlook for a great dream-one that no sane man or woman could wish would Ego by contraries." Ger tainly the tortured people of Russia need the calm counsel of the Quakers, and all other good people to bring order out of chaos. They need to stop the bloodshed, the rioting, the desc cration of all that makes life worth while, and when these things have been stopped they need long contin- ued help in reconstruction-in re- building what the frenzied hordes have torn down. Not many of us relish the idea of handful of American troops over in Russa-or the shooting and hanging. But elements have been turned loose in that land which must De subdued before there will be chance to hold out hands to those who suffer most.

SENATOR. REED IS
 ON WILD RAMPAGE
Attacks League With Increasing Bit terness-Says If Republican Presi- dent Had Done It, Democratic Op-
 position Would Be Unanimous.

Washington, May 26.The League of Nations was debated in the Senate again today, with an increasing show of bitterness. Senator Reed, Demo crat, of Missouri, attacked the pro- posal in such vigorous terms that he aroused repeated objections from sen- ators supporting it, and developed a running debate, colored by dramatic accusations and heated retorts.
 The Missouri senator declared the league would place the destinies of the whole race in the hands of igno- rant and superstitious nations of black and yellow population, and charged that many Democrats were supporting it for partisan reasons.
 In frequent interruptions of the Missouri senator's speech, Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking Dem ocrat of the foreign relations com mittee, insisted that the premises for these charges were false and that the inferences drawn were unfair and dangerous. He drew in turn a reply from Senator Knox, Republican, of Pennsylvania, who suggested that supporters of the league covenant should read it before they discussed it.
 So heated did the exchanges be- come at one point that the chair rap ped for order and Senator Reed de- clared that Senator Hitchcock had Host his temper.
 The measure which brought the league issue before the senate was the resolution of Senator Johnson, Repub- Ecan of California, requesting from the state department the full text of the peace treaty. There was no at tempt to reach a vote on the resolu- tion, on which debate began last Fri day, and the measure went over again as unfinished business to come up when the senate re-convenes Wednes- day.
 Without speaking directly on the Johnson resolution, Senator Reed made a general attack on the league covenant itself as proposal to hand over control of the white race and of the civilized world to an assembly of nations where a majority always could be brought together on any race question in opposition to white su- premacy. He declared the support of the league plan never could be ex- plained at home by senators from the south, with it's negro problem, or from the west with it's Chinese and Japan ese problems. Turning dramatically to his Democratic colleagues, he con tinued:
 "f Republican president had brought it here-if Roosevelt had brought it here-there is not Demo- crat that wouldn't have been standing by my side fighting to the last ditch to rescue the country from so mon- strous and so cruel thing"

NEW PLAN TO SPY ON
 BOYS UP THE CREEK
Revenue Department Would Borrow Airplanes From War Department
 for Locating Mountain Stills.

Washington, May Moonshin- CTS soon may have revenue agents in airplanes on their trail. Beset with difficulties of finding illicit whiskey stills in mountain fastnesses of the South, revenue agents developed the idea of spying upon the hidden liquor makers from the sky. So Revenue Commissioner Roper asked the War Department for the loan of several airplanes, which 1t was proposed to equip with telephotographic apparat- us to take pictures of moonshine stills while flying low, the pictures to be used as evidence when the moon- sinners were caught and brought into court.
 The War Department is considering the request, but meanwhile army cam oufiagers suggested that stills might easily be concealed beneath trees. So now the revenue agents are pondering this new difficulty and continuing to hunt moonshiners afoot.

LEARNED BROTHERS FATE
 THRU STORY IN STAR
First Details of Soldiers Death in France Came to Ink Resident in
 Newspaper Publication.

c. J. Hilton of Ink first learned the details of his brothers death in France thru an article published in the Mena Evening Star. Mr. Hilton was in Mena Wednesday hoping to get in touch with Lewis Tilley, who had brought back from the battle fields of France the story of how the Ink mans relative had met death.
 Mir. Hilton is brother of Robert R. Hilton, who was among the first of Polk county's fighting men to meet death overseas. While they had been officially notified of the young sol dier's death while fighting the Hun, none of the homefolks knew the de- tails of his last battle. It was not until they read Soldier Tilley's story of how his fellow fighter Hilton had been killed did the dead soldiers family learn the details of his final fate. Mrs. Hilton, widow of the dead man is now at Shady Point, Ok. The family at Ink is desirous of meet ing Soldier Tilley and hearing the story from his own lips.

HUNS BACK AT OLD TRICKS.
Propagandists Resume Operations
 Against Allies in Switzerland.

Paris, May 25-German spies and propagandists have resumed their op- erations in Switzerland, bu. their tao tics apparently have changed, the correspondent of the Temps in Switz- erland writes. Instead of giving ma terial help to dangerous clements in the Allied countries as formerly, Ger man agents are almost openly engag- ed in various forms of propaganda against the Allied powers.
 "A very important anti-British campaign has just been discovered, " the correspondent adds. Leaflets bearing the name of neither author nor printer are being distributed in sealed envelopes even in the offices of the most important Swiss papers. The Swiss police have recently re- ceived a great quantity of these tracts, the German origin of which is very apparent.
 ''I can declare positively that a number of Germans lately arrived at Geneva, were identified as former German spies. They are spending a lot of money, but it has not been pos sible to discover their particular kind of propaganda. Their presence in Switzerland, however, proves that the German services are far from being disorganized."

WILSON HIDES TREATY FACTS?
Representative Kahn Says Published Summary Far Different From Text.

Washington, May 23.--Julius Kahn, chairman of the House military com mittee, said today he would press for the publication of the full terms of the peace treaty at once. The published summary, he declared, was far differ ent from the treaty itself, and he pre- dicted that the American people would receive a great many surprises when they study it carefully"
 Senator Johnson, Republican, of California, called up for consideration in the Senate today his resolution asking the State Department to fur nish the Senate the complete text of the peace treaty.
 Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Mon tana interjected that the publication of the treaty nigh be deferred by an agreement made at Paris.
 ''I do not know; do not care" Sen ator Johnson replied If there was an agreement it was violated when the synopsis was given out. The only reason on earth for not giving out the text is that you've something to con- ceal."
 Senator Lodge, the Republican lead CT, said there was no impropriety in the Senate resolution, but added that even if the Senate passed it the Pres ident would not give out the text
 "Then we're wasting time" Sena- tor Thomas intercepted.
 sNo," the Republican leader replied, smiling, "we're calling attention to the new method of 'open covenants of peace openly arrived at I shall ask the Senate to treat it with plain even pitiless- publicity"
