For the benefit Of q number Of persons IN
quiring who seemingly cannot understand as
to,a''the unrepresented portion Of the folks in
Winona," (ref. our last issue), as a matter. OF
information we would say, that it is felt,
down in peaceful valley lthe 4ths Ward) that
the proverbial last straws that broke the ca
mels back came to them when recently upon
the same day. e., January l3th-represen-
tatives were chosen on Welfare, Memorial, and
County War records Committees, upon which
they feel they are not represented for the
reasons that follow:
Red Cross Out Of 22-for* the 4th
Ward-None chosen.
-mrmor1aI Com. out Of S15-for the
4th Ward-One Chosen-and he is
out of city for winter on business.
County Wal Records Com. sout Of 39-
One layman chosen-is out Of City for
winter on business.
It is-quite likely and in keeping with
things of the past that there will be those who
will take it as an affront that we are not sa-
tisfied with the above, but like the Irishman
we might be satisfied, yet not contented.

s==tion of the City and believe we have done our
fair share of the things that were expected Of
any people in like circumstances. No one
can gainsay us that we responded to the call
Of giving our boys (more than one half from
all the City, and what greater taxation may
be levied than furnishing possible candidates
for the supreme sacrifice? Then we wonder
why such apportionments in these semi-offffii-
cial postwar organizations and activities.
Is it because we haven t on state occasions the
largest numbers Of flags displayed?
Candid.l,y we. don't like il, and we may as

at q point where we don't like some Of you

That is we believe analogous to taxation

and August |. 1914. This clause calls
for some explanation. Its insertion and
that of one other iu the peace treaty

make it definite that the series of agree

Must Reduce Munitions

Ammunition for guns in position must
be reduced within two months of the
signature Of the treaty to 1900 rounds
per piece for guns Of three inch calibCr
and under and tu 800 rounds for guns
of larger culbCr.
The rate of tho German cables was
also considered 10 drawing mp tn" naval
terms and the naval experts were in
favor of dcpriving Germany of hcr
cable system. The British compared
the issue of the seizure of enemy cables
to that Of the capture of enemy ship
ping at sea. This point of view was
contested by the American delegates.
There W"r" also complications arising
from the fact that during the war the
British Government had in more thuu
ono case not only "ut German cables.
but diverted them.
1t was finally decided that Iftcch
German cables should be placed at the
