The correspondent of Teilin pn-
per predicted that the German dele
gates in each case where it was con-
sidered necessary would present
carefully formulated counterproposi-
ton stating the maximum they were
willing to concede. Many of these, he
said, were already drawn up, and the
Germans would "show the utmost con-
sideration for the enemy's standpoint"
He asserted it would be particularly
difficult for Germany TO yield to the
demand for the delivering up of the
Germans held guilty Of being the in
stigatOrs of the war.
This clause, which calls for the trial
of the former kaiser, was Incorporated
in the treaty at the last moment. 9th
er matters which were put in last week
included the disposition of the Ger
man colonies, as follows:
Togoland and Kamerun-France and
Great Britain shall make joint recon-
mendatiOn to the league Of nations as
TO tnelf future.
German East Africa-The mandate
shall be held by Great Britain.
German Southwest Africa-The man
date shall be held by the Union Of
South Africa.
The German Samoan islands The
mandate shall be held by New Zealand.
The other German Pacific posses
sions south of the equator, excluding
the German Samoan islands and Nauru
The mandate shall be held by Aus
tralia.

The German Pacific islands north of
the equator The mandate shall be
held by Japan.

Belgium having been given satisfac-
ton as to the parts Of the treaty which
didn't suit her at first, the only one of
the allied and associated nations that
still held out against the pact was
China. The cabinet at Picking, it was
said, had instructed the Chinese dele
gates not to sign any treaty that trans
ferred to Japan the former German
rights in Shantung. Japan's victory in
the allied council has greatly stirred
China and there is danger of anti-for-
eign outbreaks there.
Press comment on the treaty, which
indicates or forms public opinion, is
varied. The German papers, of course,
denounce many of the terms as brutal
and impossible of acceptance. Those
of France praise the pact rather faint
ly. In England some journals commend
the treaty highly and others condemn
it. The American press generally looks
on the peace terms as satisfactory.

Marshal Foch persisted to the last in
his demand that France should be
guaranteed in some way against future
armed attack by Germany. TWAS re-
ported that President Wilson and Pre-
mier Lloyd George gave him measure
able satisfaction by promising to ask
congress and parliament, respectively,
to authorize an open agreement that
the United States and Great Britain
would go instantly to the aid of France
if she were attacked. However. if the
terms of the treaty as written are car
ried out, Germany will have very little
left with which to carry on military
enterprises. She couldn't get far with
an army Of 100000 men, puny navy,
no submarines and no armed planes,
and with the Notifications of Helgo-
land and the Rhine valley demolished.

The American Legion, in process Of
organization by veterans Of the great
war, opened a caucus in st. Louis with
a thousand delegates present and Lieut..
Col. Theodore Roosevelt in the chair.
The first sessions developed a decided
dissension between the National Guard
and the regular army. The feelings of
the former we're voiced by Col. Bennett
Clark, son of Champ Clark, in the Ma
tional Guard convention, when he de-
cIared that the regular army must be
smashed" However, he is fighting
against the effort to have regular army
men excluded from the Legion. Some
of the Southern delegates were work
ing hard against the admission of
negroes to membership.
Messrs. Walsh, Dunno and Ryan,
whom the Americans of Irish blood
sent across to work for 'free Ire
land,v have succeeded in arousing the
hot resentment of the British against
what many of them say is the unwar-
ranted interference of the United
States in matter that does not con-

land was feted and escorted by Sim

If NOT THE LEAGUE, WHAT?

Not the only, but the chief, reason
why the United States went into the
great European world war was 10 put

to make the world safe and free of
any future wars, TO establish univcr-
sal peace on earth for all time to
come. How far and to what extent
this high ideal will be attained re-
mains to be seen. One thing is GER
tam, as everybody knows. If this
high and greatly desired ideal is to
become concrete fact there must be
clear and distinct understanding
and agreement between all parties or
nations concerned that it can be and
shall be so.
An article of agreement, con
tract, has been drawn up and sub
mitted by the five great nations of
the world, and agreed to unanimously
by representative conference of the
nations of the world participating. If
not q league, what? The turbulent
element in Congress ard outside, who
are opposing the contract rs drawn,
have offered nothing in its stead.
Do they want the agreement dis

ICNREASE IN SALARIES OF THE
TEACHERS.

DR.. ClaXton, U. S. Commissioner
o, education, says that within the
next five years teachers salaries will
be doubled, and before another Gyn
years another 80 per cent. more will
be added, making salaries rs rnuch
as 1880 per session.
The Commissioners statement gives
the comforting assurance that this
increase IN salaries will be TO pliaran-
teed better teachers and better teach
ing. The school week consists now of
20 hours, less reccsses, or less than
~ hours per week actual class work.
There IS outside work, of course for
the teachers, but country counting,
here's one and there's the other. pres
ent conditions are not so bad.
However, the increase in teachers
salaries is urged by the commission
err Tor the reason chiefly that the
grade OF teachers will be improved.
He says: at is only by very large
increases in pay of teachers Tint We
may hope to improve our schools. ; =
Small increases will not avail
for they will not be sufficient to hold
IN the schools men and women Of su-
perior ability. Many Of the better
teachers are leaving the schools, and
their places are taken by men and
women of less native ability, less cd
ucation, less culture and less train
ing and experience"
The Commissioner goes on. "No
person who is fit to take the time and
money and opportunity of the children
OF this great democratic republic for
the purpose Of fitting them for life
should be asked to work for less
than 81 600 per year." then adds: at
is not for the sake of the teachers
but for the sake of tie schools
the children, the prosperity and the
safety OF the naticn that the policy i.
advocated"

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT SELL
YOUR BONDS OR STAMPS.

The following letter was addressed
to all its employees by one of the
largest industrial corporations in this
country:
IF you have not sold and do not
intend to sell any of your liberty
bonds, this letter is not intended for
you.
"lf you have sold or contemplate
selling any of your Liberty Bonds,
read and study this letter carefully
then put your Liberty bonds in a
safe place and KEEP THEM.
Speaking recently on the subject
of selling Liberty Bonds, which has
been taking place, the Secretary of
the Treasury said:
Our boys at the front in the
service of their Government have
never quit. If you sell your Liberty
Bonds, you quit at Il time when the
Government needs your continued
support. Every time you quit by sell
ling your Liberty Bonds, you hurt
the credit of your Government and
make it more difficult to finance the
war. The cost of the war continues
until peace is signed, and our gal
liant boys are brought back to Amer
lean soil
We wish to urge upon every one
of you not to sell your Liberty Bonds
under any circumstances. If you are
without food or are about to be dis
possessed from your home, then is
the time to consider borrowing mon
ey on your bends, but not until then.
This also applies to War Savings
Certificate Stamps md Thrift Stamps
and you are urged NOT TO SELL.
EITHER.
Always remember that if the boys
who sailed from this country for
France, after arriving in France had
turned and come home without fight
ing, we would not be talking about
holding Liberty Bonds, but would
probably be getting together all we
own in the world, each and every one
OF us, for the purpose of handing it
over to the Kaiser in the form of
taxes.
"lf Liberty Bonds sell ut less than
par Gil the Exchanges, it is simply
because lot Of people are dumping
them on the market instead of hold
ing them as they should do These
bonds will eventually sell at par and
above, and your money is safer in
them than it would be in any other
Investment.
"lf, in the future, the roll is called
for holders of Liberty Bonds, be sure
you have your badge of honor in the
form of your original Liberty Bonds"

THE ENORMOUS COST OF THE
WAR.

The world doesn't intend to have
another war. The cost in dollars and
cents is prohibitive, if no other cost
is considered. Here are some figures
given in Sundays New York Times
For the years 1913-I4.
Gcrmnny's army and navy bill was
79,846,130 pounds.
France. 8O,865,967 pounds.
Great Britain, 77,029, 300 pounds.
Auhtria- Hungary, 2S,O86,O5l
Russia, 1O2,78O,OOO.
Italy, 24,491 ,460.
United States, $97,61O,970.
Thcce appropriations were made If
time of peace, none of the nations
Germany excepted, perhaps, expect
ed war. Multiply these figures by
five, leaving out the United States
and the amounts will be found in dol
lars simply enormous.
Now, add to these uncomfortable fig
ures the amounts expended to carry
on the war: Germany 80 billion, foul
hundred million; Great Britain, g
billion, 500 million; Russia, % bill
lion, 400 million; France, 20 billion
Austria, ~ billion, 600 million; Ital,
and Turkey, 6 billion, 800 million.

Before he had flushed his loud
