(By Associated Press.)

Washington, July President
Wilson, comforting with newspaper
correspondents at the White House
today, indicated he lwas extremely
gratified that the treaty of peace had
been ratified so promptly by the Ger
man National Assembly. The Presi-
dent also indicated he felt that trade
relations between Germany and the
associated nations should be resumed
at the earliest possible moment, for
without trade Germany could not
meet reparations demanded of her
II was made clear that the President
felt troops should be maintained in
Germany untin the Germans had
complied with all the military terms
of the treaty. It was pointed out
that there were several million vet
eran soldiers in Germany and NUM-
tions sufficient for them to operate.
The Germans have from one to four
months in which to deliver all ma
teria1 except that sufficient for the
reduced German army provided for
in the peace treaty and the presi
dent believes American troops
should stay on the Rhine until this
material is delivered.

Atlanta, Ca, July 1O.-Women Of
the South who have toiled so long

Work-rooms will be interested in the
report of Lieutenant Colonel H. Cid

throughout Rumania the people are
so destitute that the dressings are
used as baby clothes and even in
making garments for grownups.
MANY women wear them as head

1t is just such help as this that Is
proving the salvation of many strick-
