Is The Stars Suggestion.

That Washingtonians should be
given an opportunity to buy the Army

gested to the Commissioners this
week by The Star. The District
heads indorsed the suggestion. but

and distribute the food as a municipal
function.
Mr.. McGrath's successful experiment
with community cooperative buying
in Park View was recalled. and, the
food councils president was invited
to the Distric building to give his
views as to the practicability of en-
ploying the Park View plan for get
ting the Army stores to citizens at re-
duced cost.
Commissioner Gardiner and Mr.. Nc
Grath canvassed the matter Thursday
the latter expressing the conviction
that an organized citizens movement
having the support of the authorities
could handle the problem successfully

Text of Message.
Ny Fellow Countrymen: The
treaty of peace has been signed. If
it is ratified and acted upon in full
and sincere execution of its terms
it will furnish the charter for a
new order of affairs in the world.
1t is severe treaty in the duties
and penalties it imposes upon Ger
many, but it is severe only because
great wrongs done by Germany are
to be righted and repaired: it i'm
poses nothing that Germany can
not do: and she can regain her
rightful standing in the world by
the prompt and honorable fulfill
ment of it's terms.
"More Than a Treaty of Peace
And it is much more than a
treaty of peace with Germany. 1t
liberates great peoples who have
never before been able to find the
way to liberty. 1t ends. once for
all, an old and intolerable order
under which small groups of sell
fish men could use the peoples of
great empires to serve their am
bition for power and dominion.
Associates in Permanent League.
1t associates the free govern
ments of the world in permanent
league in which they are pledged
to use their united power to main
tain peace by maintaining right
and justice. 1t makes interna-
tional law a reality supported by
imperative sanctions. 1t does away
with the right of conquest and re-
jects the policy of annexation and
