Poincare Dinner Thursday
1t was announced to-day that
President Poincare's official dinner
to the peace plenipotentiaries will
take place Thursday night. 1t was
originally planned to hold the din
ner on the night of the singing of
the Treaty, but the uncertainty as
to the date for the ceremony has
caused Thursday to be named def
nitely for the dinner irrespective of
the time of the event at Versailles.
Germany has proved slow in
making known to the Peace Confer
ence in Paris what her plans are
regarding her representation at the
formal signing of the Peace Treaty.
Conference circles are reported
somewhat uneasy over the lack of
official advices from the German
government as regards the per-
sonnel of its new delegation and the
time of its coming, as all the ar
rangements for the ceremony are
being held up.
1t is still hoped in Paris that the
Treaty will be signed Friday, but
the event may go over until the fol-
lowing day. Everything manifestly
now depends upon the time of ar
rival of the German delegates.
To Present Italy's Demands
1t is expected that the new Italian
delegation headed by Tommaso
Tittoni, the new Italian foreign min
ister. will arrive in Paris on Fri
relative to the Treaty with Aus
tria. There are several important
matters still to be adjusted before
the remainder of the Austrian
Treaty can be presented to the Aus
trian delegates, and it is expected
that the Italian mission will lose
no time in bringing before the Su-
preme Council of the conference the
demands of its country.
France, and presumably the other
Allied and associated nations, are
prepared for eventualities should
the Germans fail to carry out the
provisions of the Treaty which is
now ready for the signatures of the
delegates.
Points to German Spirit
Premier Clemenceau, in replying
to questions of members of the
Chamber of Deputies relative to de-
mobilization, said yesterday that
precaptions were necessary lin view
of the state of mind of the Ger
mans" the Premier pointing out that
the destruction of German ships in
Scapa Flow and at Kiel showed
the spirit in which the Germans
will sign the Treaty"
Dispatches from Berlin indicate
that feeling over the peace situation
is still running high in German mill
tary circles, officers speaking of
defending the honor of the German

special measures"
The Supreme Council of the con-
ference has formally approved the
plan of giving Belgium priority in
reparations to the extent of about
$500, 100000.

PROCLAMATION

The worlds greatest statesman,
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, is dead.
To honor him is to do honor to our
selves, for he was, in the truest sense,
an integral part of us all. AS an au-
thor, orator, soldier, statesman and
naturalist, his life touched every
phase of our national ideals, and his
name will find a place in the history
of mankind, among the celebrities of
the ages.
Clear eyed, well poised, high minded
his was the vision Of civic righteous
ness. The commercial world will
honor him for his sense of fair play
the political world, for his rugged fear
lesnness; the military world, for his
gifted leadership; the religious world,
for his lofty ideals; and the nation will
honor him for his sturdy American
ism, while the entire world will re-
we're his memory.
Statesman. yet friend to truth! Of
soul sincere,
In action faithful, and in honor
clear"
Therefore, in keeping with the plans
of congress and in harmony with the
policy of other states, |, Peter Nor
beck, governor of South Dakota, do
hereby proclaim Sunday, February
ninth, as a day set apart for honoring
the memory of this distinguished
world-citizen; and | sincerely request
the ministry Of all denominations to
devote at least one of their regular
services on that day to extolling his
admirable virtues.
Done at the capitol at Pierre, South
Dakota, this seventeenth day of Janu-
airy, A. ID. one thousand nine hundred
