GERMANY TO SIGN
TREATY SATURDAY,


Versailles. the scene of the pro-
claiming of the German empire al
will witness Saturday afternoon the
final act in that empires dream OF
world conquest, the signing of the
peace treaty by which Germany
acknowledges quiet for the world
war aud Internationally admits de-
feat
Efforts were being made at Paris
Thursday to arrange for the signing
of the treaty at 3 o'clock Saturday
afternoon. The council of three is
apparently satisfied with the semi
Official assurances that the Germans
would be on hand
Hermann Mueller, the foreign min
lister, and DR.. Bell the colonial min
lister, it was announced in Berlin
Thursday. have been selected as the
German ENJOYS to sign the peace
terms.
President Wilson plans to leave
Paris Saturday night, after the treaty
is signed, sailing from Brest on Sun
day.
Two events of the week = the
sinking of the entire German feet
by order of its admiral, and the es-
cape from Holland to Germany of
the former crown prince Wednesday
cast serious doubt on Germany's
| intentions to respect the treaty pro-
visions. while the internal condition
in Germany is reported to be acute
and civil war imminent.
| In regards to the former Germany
has been notified by the allies that
they possess the right to punish the
persons responsible for the destruc-
ton of the German ships and t, ocolr
lect reparation for the loss. The
sinking of the feet is denounced as
violation of the armistice and de-
liberate breach in advance of the con-
ditions of peace.
News of the escape of the former
crown prince caused a considerable
stir In peace conference circles. While
it is not felt that he is a figure
around which the reactionaries and
monarchists would gather enthusi-
astically, nevertheless his act is re-
garded as an event considerable
significance in view of other, German
recalcitrancy.

WILSON TO. OPPOSE
ANY TREATY CHANGE
Continued from Page. One.

ator Lodge, chairman of the foreign
relations committee, it can be stared
that the president takes the positl. Q
view that negotiations will have to
be reopened with the nations party
to the peace treaty to determine
whether they can associate with
America under the remodeled terms.
There will be strong maintenance
of the view that treaty negotiations
are solely with the president. Also
the senate and the country will be re-
minded, that the president can with
draw the treaty. AS to this power of
the president there is no dispute.
Reservation amendments by the SEN
ate might present a situation inyolv-
Ing the exercise by the president OF
his power to withdraw the treaty.
The attitude Of the president is that
1t is now the duty of the senate to
either adopt the treaty or kill it
II the senate Is opposed to the
league of nations. the president Is
body shall make direct confession to
the country and not cover opposition
by the expedient of attempted reser-
vations or amendments. If the SEN
ate is to reject the treaty, and the
position of President Wilson is thar
reservations will be the equivalent
of killing the treaty. 1t is to be made
plain that in the opinion Of the Amer
lean peace delegation the peace Of the
world will be indefinitely delayed

war.
Two DAYS after a state OF war was
declared to exist, Secretary Of Agri-
culture Houston held a conference al
St. Louis with represents lives of agri-
cultural colleges and state depart
ments of agriculture to plan a pro-
gram for the stimulation of food pro-
ducton. The thing had to be done
Immediately, and under a handicap.
There was a greatly reduced man
power.
A million farmers and farm work
ers went into the military service
Other hundreds of thousands were
taken away by other war industries.
munitions plants, shipyards. etc.
Much of the material that goes into
farm machinery had to go for imple-
ments of warfare. Fertilizer was
hardly to be had Nothing the farm
err required was to be had as easily
or as cheaply as before. and some
things weren't to be had at all.
AS one of the departments experts
put it: Here again was Israel set
to make bricks without straw-and
made them" The story of results is
best told in figures.
The first year of the country's par
ticipation in the war. 1917, witnessed
the nations record for acreage plant
ed-283, 100000 acres of the leading
cereals. potatoes, tobacco and cotton
"a gain of 22,00O,0O0 acres over
1916 and of 100000 acres over
the last previous five-year average.
In 1918, for the same crops, this was
increased to $4,000. 900 acroes.
Despite adverse weather conditions
the aggregate yield of the leading
cereals in 1917 was 5.796.000,00 300
bushels, exceeding any previous year
but one. Equally striking were the
results of the efforts to secure an
ampler supply Of meat and dairy
products and of every kind of food
on which a people subsist.
One of the most striking facts Is
that despite the expectation of horses
| and Of mules and Of other live stock
cattle, sheep and hops was greater
during the war than ever before. in
| each class marked increase in the
number remaining on the farms is
shown by the latest reports. Thus,
while consumption and expectation
were greater than ever before, the
increase in production was still
greater. When the sarmistice was
signed, America had 'just begun to
fsht," and had also Just begun to
produce.
