Millions of Boys and Girls
Have Physical Defects Which
Impede Their Development

Fifty per cent of 25,O0O,000 boys and
girls of school age in this country have
physical defects and ailments which
impede their normal development, ac-
cording to the annual report of the ex-
ecutive committee of the national phys
ical education service. The estimate
was made following numerous investi-
cations conducted by members Of the
committee.
A lack Of proper physical education,
such as play, athletics, work and gym
nastics was attributed by the commit
tee as the cause for the physical disa-
bility, and a broad program of state
and federal legislation for the re-
quired education was urged as means
of bringing children to the proper
standard.
Members of the executive committee
include Major-General w. c. Gorgas,

Polar Star and Some of
the Wonders of This Great
Beacon of the Far North

Most people, if they know nothing
else of astronomy, at any rate know
the pole star, the one star which seems
to keep it's place in the heavens with
out movement of any kind. There are
great many, however, says the
RehObOth Sunday Herald, who do not
know what wonderful thing it is, in
the first place, it can be seen when
looked at through good telescope to
be two stars and not one. There is
one fairly bright One of what is known
as the second magnitude, and another
of the ninth magnitude close to it.
But that is not all. The brighter of
the two is really three stars revolving
round one another or, rather, round
their common center of gravity, like
three children playing "ring a ring of
roses"
This secret is revealed to us by what
is perhaps the most astonishing of all
scientific instruments, the spectroscope.
1t not only tells us what the stars are
made of, but whether they are moving
toward us or away from us.
When you stand facing the star you
are always facing north. The reason
that it does not appear to move as the
others do is that it is nearly in line
with the axis of the earth. Its dis
tance from us is enormous. This can
be judged from the fact that although
the earth in it's journey around the sun
is today about 19OOOO,OOO miles from
where it was six months ago, that
makes no appreciable difference to it's
distance from the pole star. 1t must
therefore be many times 190,OOO,OOO
miles away.

BUDDING TIME TOO BRIEF

o little buds, break not so fast!
The springs but new,
The skies will yet be brighter blue,
And sunny, too.
I would you might thus sweetly last
Till this glad seasons overpast,
Nor hasten through.
1t is so exquisite to feel
The light warm sun;
To merely know the winter done,
And life begun;
And to my heart no blooms appeal
For tenderness so deep and real
AS anyone.
OF these first April buds, that hold
The hint of springs
Rare perfectness that May-time brings.
So take not wings!
Oh linger, linger, nor unfold
Too swiftly through the mellow mould.
Sweet growing things!
And errant birds, and honey bees,
Seek not to vile;
And, sun, let not your warmest smile
Quite yet beguile
The young peach-boughs and apple trees
To trust their beauty to the breeze;
Wait yet awhile!

In some ways the treaty with Aus
tria, it is said, will be like that with
Germany. Austria is to lose her en-
tire navy, according to the reports,
and there is little doubt that when her
new boundaries are delimited she will
find that her southern frontier is push
ed back so far that Italy will have
not only the Trentino and Trieste, but
also all the strategic passes and
heights in the Alps which the Italians
say are necessary to their future Sc
curity. This is in accordance with
the secret treaty of London. In the
matter of reparatiOn Austria of course
will be required to pay certain sums,
but these will be small in comparison
with those demanded from the Ger
mans. The clauses concerning water
ways are much like those in the Ger
man treaty. The breaking up of the
Austro-Hungarian empire has result
ed in reducing Austria to a rather
small fourth rate power without direct
access to the sea, and it is the aim of
at least some of the allied nations to
keep her in that condition. By her.
self she is comparatively harmless;
united with Germany, she would help
largely to make up a nation that might
again threaten the peace Of the world.

Peace Terms for Austria Are Pre-
pared by the Allied Dele
gates at Paris.
GERMANS STILL PROTESTING
Ebert and Scheidemann Insist Treaty
Must Not Be Signed, and Allies
Get Ready for Further Action
-KoIchak Plans to Crush
Soviet Armies.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

The allied peace delegates at Paris
were occupied last week mainly in pre-
pairing to hand out to Austria what is
coming to her. and in listening to the
walls, official and unofficial, of the
Germans over the treaty that awaits
their signature.
Austria's delegates, headed by Chan
cellor Karl Renner, were received and
housed at st. German. They were
treated with a good deal more cordial
ity than were the Germans at Yer
sa$lles, and were given quarters in
pleasant villas that overlook the Seine
valley and Paris, with no high fences
or sentries to restrict their move
meuts. In return, the Austrians ap-
peared in good humOr and hopeful Of
lenient treatment, and seemed to ap-
preciate the good nature displayed by
the cosmopolitan crowd of journalists
and others that met them. Chancel-
lor Renner spoke in German but ex-
planned that this was because he was
unable to speak French, his courtesy
in this contrasting with the behavior
of Count Won Brockdorff- ff-RantZau at
Versailles In responding to the
greetings of the allies representatives
he said: 81 hope I may go away with
as joyful heart as I bring" Other
members of the delegation intimated,
none too strongly, that they would not
be able to sign the treaty unless it
provided for the union of German BO-
hemia and German Tyrol with Ger
many 1t is assumed they will accept
the pact even if that annexation is
not permitted.
The Benson signal., 1919-05-24

The protests of the Germans against
the pact and their harping on the four
teen points also were indorsed by
convention of Socialists in Paris and
by the WOmen's international Con-
ference for Permanent Peace, in ses-
sion at Zurich. The resolution adopt
ed by the women was proposed by
Mrs Philip Snowden of England and
seconded by Miss Jeanette Rankin,
former member of congress from Mon
tana.

While these diplomatic exchanges
were going on, President Ebert, Chan
cellor Scheidemann and others were
inf1aming the German people with vio-
lent denunciations of the treaty and
declarations that Germany never
would submit to it. All of them harp
ed on the alleged abandonment Of the
fourteen points by the allies, and Pres
ident Wilson was bitterly attacked as
a traitor to mankind and weakling
who has betrayed the trust that had
been reposed in him by the people
Of Germany. President Ebert told his
applauding hearers that he feared an
outbreak of psychic Juror teutoni-
cus'' within few days and that the
wrath of the soul of the people when
it reached the boiling point would
know no bounds as result Of the deep
disappointment and anger born Of fury
and just indignation.
The position taken by the govern
ment heads is supported by all fac
tions except the Independent Social
ists-Haase's crowd-who, while de-
claring the treaty oppressive, advise
that it be signed. This may be ex-
planned by the probability that if the
treaty is signed the present govern
nent will be forced to give way to one
made up Of Independent Socialists.
The Benson signal., 1919-05-24

One of the most seriously taken Of
the German objections was to the
treaty terms concerning labor reforms,
and with it was sent draft Of an
international agreement on labor law.
TO this the allies replied at length,
showing that the treaty fully covered
all the points raised and that it's pro-
visions were more satisfactory than
those in the German proposition,
wherefore the allied and associated
governments are "of the opinion that
their decisions give satisfaction to the
anxiety which the German delegate
processes for social justice and insure
the realization of reforms which the
working classes have more than ever
a right to expect after the cruel trial
to which the world has been subjected
during the last five years"
Yet another German note dealt with
the economic aspect Of the peace
terms, declaring that if enforced they
would bring death to "many millions
of people in Germany, all the more
quickly as the nations health is al
ready broken by the blockade"

China is still holding out on the
peace treaty because Of the Shantung
clause, and her delegates recently re-
ceived warnings from the people Of
that territory that they would sign
the pact at the peril of their lives.
The Benson signal., 1919-05-24

Despite protests, denunciations and
wailing, it was still the opinion of the
well-infOrmed in Paris that the Ger
mans would sign the treaty before the
expiration of the period of grace al
lowed them. The possibility that they
would persist in their refusal, how
ever, has been amply provided for and
the plans of the allies in that con-
tingency are complete. Marshal FOch
already has been sent to the Rhine
land by the council of four to take
such military action as may be neces-
sary and the council also has made it's
plans for the immediate re-imposition
of the blockade on Germany. At Co
blenZ General Pershing said the Amer
lean army of occupation was ready to
do it's part, whatever that might be.
Another thing that occupied the at
tention of the allied foreign minister
was arrangement for maintaining Or
der in Schleswig after the Germans
evacuate that territory. Probably all
the allied naval force, in which the
United States, Great Britain and
France will join, will be stationed at
Flemsberg and several battalions of
infantry landed to police the country.
The Benson signal., 1919-05-24

Won BrockdOrff- -RantZau and his
colleagues on the German delegation,
together with their numerous experts,
have been as busy as bees formulat-
ing objections to the German treaty.
Several of these were transmitted to
the allies last week and most of them
were rather summarily answered, and
dismissed. These formal objections
were considered mere preliminary
skirmishes, and meanwhile the Ger
mans were preparing elaborate coun-
ter-proposals. These, it is said, would
contain two dominant diplomatic fea
tures-an exaltation of the league Of
nations idea and a vigorous demand
that there be a pure application" of
Wilson's fourteen points. The latter
is designed to win favor in America
and to create a breach between the

Americans and their allies. A strong
play also will be made to secure the
sympathy Of Socialists all over the
world for what the Hun leaders call
the German Socialist state.
