Annapolis Hero
Sank Hun U-Boat

NEW YORK, June o.-Maj Gen
William R. Smith, commander of the
Thirty-sixth division, arrived here
Wednesday on the transport Patricia,
which also brought 2,845 officers and
men of the division, former national
guardsmen of Texas and Oklahoma.
The details included the 131st, 132d
and 133d machine gun battalions, less
some officers detachmen;s; the 111th
field signal battalion, Thirty-sixth di-
vision headquarters, headquarters de-
tachment and troop; divisional postal
and motor transport detachments and
Seventy-frst infantry brigade head
quarters, including Brig. Gen. Pegram
Whitworth.
y Governor Robertson, of Oklahoma,
headed delegation representing the
two states from which the troops
were drawn, which officially well
coined the men on their arrival.
The new commander of the Pa
tricia, M. K. Metcalf, of Annapolis,
was formerly in command of the tor
pedoboat destroyer O'Brien, which
sank an enemy submarine in the Irish
sea. Of the incident he modestly
said:
1T was just a combination of cir
cumstances which worked in our fa-
vor. In other words, it was a de-
stroyer named O'Brien and we were
operating in the Irish sea, and a COM
bination like that cannot be- beaten" /"

Insurance To Be
More Liberal

WASHINGTON, June More
liberal provisions are being worked
out by the bureau of war risk insur-
ance for inclusion in term policies
taken out by men in the military SER
vice as an inducement to them to re-
tain their insurance after returning
to civil life.
The term policies may be continued
for five years after discharge from
service, and at any time during that
period may be converted into ordi-
nary life, endowment or twenty year
policies, premiums on which will be
considerably higher. Privilege of
paying premiums at postoffices prob
ably will be one feature.
Opportunity to make the policies
payable in lump sum to the bene-
ficiaries, instead of extending the
payment over a term of years, may
not be granted, despite the approval
aroused by a previous announcement
that such a feature would be incor-
porated into the policies The an.
nuity system of payments was writ

tute for pensions and means of safe.

by the government. With 100000
policy holders, the expense Of reach

Farmers Asked
To Operate

! KNOXVILLE,t June East Ten
nessee farmers and land owners will
be asked to cooperate with the
Knoxville chapter of the Audubon
society in its campaign to establish
bird "sanctuaries." These sanctua-
ries, or bird preserves, will be simply
land on which the protection of game
and migratory birds is assured. Farm
ers learned long ago that birds are
the best friends of their crops and
many of them are willing to cooper
ate with any movement to protect
birds. The Audubon society requests
that farmers and land owners who
are willing to declare a part of their
land safe for bird-life write Mrs.
Walter Barton, 701 Third street,
Knoxville, telling her the amount of
land they will devote to a bird "sanc-
tuary," All that is necessary for the
first step in bird protection under
this plan is the posting of signs pro-
hibiting the killing of birds on the
land set aside as a preserve or sane
tuary.
The Importance of bird protection
in Tennessee was discussed at length
at a meeting of the Audubon society
held Friday afternoon at the Law
son-McGhee library. 1t was at this
time the organization decided to ask
the cooperation of East Tennessee
farmers for the nationwide bird
protection movement.
The remarkable increase in birds
in Knoxville during the pas. few
years was spoken of with interest
by members of the local society, who
were influential in creating an inter-
est in bird protection in Knoxville a
short while ago. The great variety
of birds in the city, they stated, is
noted with surprise by visitors.
DR.. A. A. Mcdonald, president,
presided at the meeting and gave
comprehensive lecture on British
birds

Paris Is Disrnayed

!
(Staff Correspondent of N. Y. World
PARIS, June 3.-Since the signing
of the armistice Paris has never beer
gloomier than it was today, with tht
establishment of real peace i'm
perilled in the eyes of Parisians, first
by the probability of German rejec
ton of the allied terms, and, sec
ondly, by the treaty itself, which
seems to be unsatisfactory to al
classes of opinion; with the Russian

ment.
The tone of the press grows ever
more pessimistic. Even the procla.
nation of the secession of the Rhine
land from Prussia, development
long ardently desired by the French
nationalists, arouses more suspicion
than enthusiasm.
Disturbed by Strikes.
The news from Wisbaden wholly
fails to offset the dismay caused by
reports of strikes in the Pas-de- Calais
coal mines, in the metallurgical
trades, in aviation and industry
among employees of the Paris depart
ment stores, in textile establishments,
the underground railway, the street
and motorbus lines and the banks.
Save for taxicabs, whose hire is be-
yond the reach of all purses except
those of millionaires, transportation
in the French capitaf is tied up as
thoroughly as on May /.
The greatest aspect of the strike
wave is revealed in L'Humanite, the
socialist organ, which says: at is a
sign of revolutionary state of af-
fairs, which does not stop growing in
our country, as all over Europe"
Delivery to the Austrian delegation
of part of the terms to be imposed
upon the former HapGburg empire
passed almost unnoticed in editorial
comments of the Paris papers. The
papers emphasize the failure of de-
livery of the most important parts of
the treaty, and LIE Matin asks: "How
can DR.. Renner be expected to make
intelligent observations on the frag-
ments presented to him, when SO es-
sential thing as the future financial
situation of Austria is hidden from
him?"
Emmanuel Brousse, the Conserv-
ativc deputy, who has Just returned
from a trip through the occupied
parts of Germany gives to lie Journal
his impressions of the formation of
the Rhenish republic. He says that
while the event occurred without di-
rect allied intervention, the scpara-
zionist movement wae certainly en-
