COBLENTZ, Germany, May 8. =
He was marine mess sergeant and
he wanted to serve eggs. But there
were no eggs. And TIE orders were
strictly to the effect that there must
be no purchasing done from the Bo-
che.
All about him when he came into
town were eggs, eggs and more eggs.
But he couldn't buy them. The orders
were against it. The marine thought
and thought again. Then he sweved
back toward camp with sudden in
spiration.
A day later, at mess, staring-eyed
United States marine officers saw
eggs coming to their table. Bright
golden, smiling eggs. Fresh eggs
Yet orders were orders!
Sergeant" said the commanding
officer, "where did you buy these
eggs ?"
"Buy them?" The sergeant's face
was as innocent as cherub. ooh, sir

against buying anything = but

At The HarShneSS Of Terms
In Treaty Handed Them
.SHORN OF TERRITORY ON ALL SIDES
Omitted Press Service,

PARIS, May 8.-Having disposed
of the proposed treaty with Germany
| for the present, the Peace Conference
has turned attention to drawing trea
ties to be proposed to the allies OF
Germany Austria Hungary, Tur.
key and Bulgaria. Today the "Big
Four" commenced considering the
problems of peace whit those nations
AS the delegates from Austria will
visit Versailles next week it seems
probable that the first work will be
in framing a proposed treaty. set
ting forth what the Allies are willing
to do with that PROSTATE enemy.
Various forecasts have been made,
but none of them are held very pos
itively by the forecasters.
Of course there will be the ques-
ton of indemnity or reparation, as
the Germans prefer to call lit. With
out doubt Austria will be called to
pay handsome sum, but it will not
reach the tremendous amount de-
manded from Germany.
1t is reported that the treaty has
been forwarded already to the Ger
man government, at Weimar, accom-
panied by some of the delegation to
the conference, who go for conference
with their superiors. Germany has
made no comment upon the treaty as
yet, although it is reported that some
of the German delegation have COM
planned bitterly of the harshness of
the terms imposed.
Jo,,+ Wileov,5c oS,1raccio,, Of
intention to present to Congress a
proposition for pact whereby Great
Britain and the United States shall
stand ready to defend France against
later aggression from Germany, has
been received with a great deal of
satisfaction on the part of the French.
1t is reported that the position taken
by Mr. Wilson was in response to 81
desire expressed by the French dele
cation for safeguard in the future,
and Mr.. Wilson expressed his VIII
lingness to have the United States
a party to such guaranty if Congress
can be induced to give, its assent,
without which assent no such qua
ranty can be given.
Paris newspapers comment freely
upon the text and stipulattions of the
treaty, and express qualification at
it's substance, and the various provis-
ions embraced, declaring with one ac-
cord that the honor of France has
been satisfied, and reparation is pro
vided for the great wrongs heaped
upon her by the enemy.
It is said that the full text of the
treaty will not be published until aft
er it has been signed by all the rep
resentatives of the various govern
ments signatory.

of Time to Act but
Not q Moment to Lose

1t must mean something to you as a homekeeper
to know that if you act promptly you can secure some
of the best furniture in the world at half the regular
price of it.
You can do this by coming to the February Fur
niture Sale tomorrow, Thursday or Friday. But you
cannot do it afterward-at least not for a long time.
These last days of the sale are in some respects the
best days of it.
They bring out a large assortment of furniture
for all rooms and occasions at half price. All of these
are odd, that is, unmatched, pieces and sets, and this
year we have a marvellous lot of them-it runs into
thousands of pieces.
The opportunity to choose from this great col
lection at such wonderful savings is one that no
homekeeper can afford to overlook.

For Their Majesties, the
Babies, the Spring Carriages
Are Ready

Babies were never so i'm
portant as they are this
minute.
The State puts a higher
value upon them; experts are
more earnestly concerned
about their health, even
fathers and mothers might be
said to care more about them,
if that were possible.
All of which suits the small
autocrats to perfection. Also
it means more pink cheeks and
more shining eyes, more
dimplcs and fat legs. More
sheer well-being, in short, than
babies ever boosted of before
in all their tumbling, small
lives.
And baby carriages have a
very large inger-or rather
wheel-in the pie, being indis-
pensable to those rides in the
open air and sunshine which
are one secret Of the rosy
cheeks and all the other prize
points Of babyhood,

no1roW and TWo More Days of the Furniture Sale
Do the Wild Ducks and PeliCanS
of the South

have an almanac of their own to tell them when the
State clocks strike the hour when their governmental
protection from s%pOrtsmen ceases and when it begins
again?
A gentleman familiar with the facts has just told
us that at Mare Island, near San Francisco, a military
station where the gunners have constant target
practice, the quail and other game have a season of
protection from spOrtsmen - the birds are running
and flying everywhere.
Despite the sharp, resounding reports of rifles,
the birds and ducks never notice guns or gunners.
But the remarkable and well-knOwn fact was
recorded also that with the return of the first day
terminating the closed season, all the game disap-
peared, not to return again until the open season
had passed.
Are these curious little living creatures endowed
with an intelligence equivalent to a thinking appa-
ratus or is it to teach men and women not to be
reckless of enemies surrounding them against whom
they should be on guard?
The danger zones of life, trade or profession are
not always plainly marked on the maps.
