New York, July 9.-President VIII

In his first speech delivered on Ameri-
can soil since the peace treaty was
aligned declared that the peace con-
eluded at Paris was "a Just peace
which, II 1t can be preserved. will
safeguard the world from unnecessary
bloodshed." The only reference the
President made to his political oppO-
nents was when In referring to the
negotiations at Paris he said: Il am
afraid some people do not understand
that vision. They do not see 1t. They
have looked too much upon the
ground. They have thought too much
Of the interests that were near them.
and they have not listened to the
voices Of their neighbors. have never
had 4 moments doubt as to where
the heart and purpose Of this people
lay"
ken army pier. The army transport
George Washington, on which he
sailed from Brest, was escorted up the
bay by the battleship Pennsylvania
and more than a score of destroyers
and smaller naval craft. On the New
Jersey shore, the state which first
honored Mr.. Wilson with q political
office, were massed 10000 school chill
dren, who welcomed the chief execu-
tive of the nation to the strains Of the
national anthem.
Through the lines of the children,
all dressed in white, the President
passed to the ferry which carried him
to the Manhattan side Of the river.
When he arrived in New York he was
greeted by the official reception COM
mittee, headed by Governor Smith and
Mayor Hyian. From the ferry termi-
nal to Carnegie Hall, . distance of
about three miles, the presidential
party passed through streets lined
with cheering thousands Of men. wOm-

sidewalks and filled every available
window and rooftop.
From the upper windows Of the
business skyscrapers great showers of
confetti rained upon the President and
Mrs Wilson, literally millions of
scraps Of paper floating through the
air.
The head OF the procession was
formed by several companies Of SOL
diers and marines, followed by some
hundreds Of sailors. Immediately pre-
ceding the presidential car was an au-
tomobile filled with secret service
men, and the car itself was guarded
by the Presidents personal bodyguarl
Of four picked men.
In the car with President Wilson
were Mrs. Wilson. Governor Smith
and Mayor Hylan. The President re-
manned standing. raising his hat con-
stantly in response to the wave Of
cheering which rolled along the route

W
Washington. July 12.-With the lift
ing of the blockade against Germany
trading between that country and the
United States, as well as the other as
ISOLATED powers, has begun. Acting
Secretary Of State Polk announced
that blanket licenses were issued for
of American firms and
that details would be given after de-
cision by legal experts as to whether
q German proclamation by the Presi-
dent would be necessary.

the peace treaty, will be unrestricted.
it was said.
American firms doing business with
Germany must send their agents into
that country without passports, how
ever, a. these cannot be issued until
the proclamation Of peace. 1t also
was said at the State Department that
there was NO certainty when Ameri-
can consuls would be sent to Germany.
Payments for the goods which this
country sends to Germany must be
made under q system Of credits to be
arranged later through private capital,
officials said. Details AZ to this sys-
tenn have not been worked out.
While Germany has large quantities
Of goods ready to be exported, 1t was
doubted that there would be any great
demand for them in this country and
consequently the trade balance in fav-
or Of the United States il expected
to be large.
Germany was said to be In immedi-
ate and pressing need of raw materials
of almost all kinds, particularly cotton
and copper, in order to rehabilitate
her industries.
Large amounts Of food have beer
sent into that country under direction
Of the intsrallisd relief commission
but It IL believed that the demand fol
grain and other cereals will be great
Clothing of all kinds also IL needed.
Three ships for Germany already
have bsen loaded In Amarican ports
one with cotton and two with genera
merchandise, 1t was said at the ship
ping board, and they will start over
seas a. soon AZ licenses for their car
goes have been issued.
It was announced that direct steam
ship lines to Hamburg and Bremen
would be established by the board
These lines will operate out Of New
York. Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimor'
and South Atlantic and Gulf ports
Halstead and Sons, steamship own
ers Of Philadelphia, will manage ant
operate for the board line from Phil
adelphia to Hamburg. One ship vii
be allocated to this firm at once ant
additional ships as cargoes available
require.
In announcing resumption Of trad'
relations, Acting Secretary Polk point
ed out that the trading with the enem!
act was not abrogated and that TIN
action of the government was not to b.
construed as meaning that the stat
Of war had ceased to exist. The wa
will be at an end only with the ratifi
cation Of the peace treaty, 1t was said
and the trading with the enemy &C
will remain in force until It is repealed
by presidential proclamation after TIN
war ends.

Who is nov operating H.
me people and towns VINO are sers
ed by this line have suffered many
delays Of their mail the past winter
by the failure o. the carriers This
failure is based upon many reasons.
one Of them was the heavy snow
which fell and lay on the ground sew
eral days during the latter part Of
December and the first part Of Janu-
airy. The patrons along the line and
the business men Of the different
towns have complained Of the service
many times during the winter
Brownheld business men tried to get
the Postofiice Department TO have
the mail carried on the train and TO
have daily train run from here, but
this plea seemed to have done no
good. Another Of the reasons which
in fact is the one that is at the bot
tom of the poor service rendered on
the line is, that when the line was
Ibid on by the carriers they figured
on a good supply of passengers going
TO and fro-many prospectors which
had in other years drifted to this
country and paid the carrier good
price for riding. OF course as is
known now, most of the travel is done
on the train. People make il a
point when going to Brownfield from
other points of the State, to reach
Lubbock on the day that the trains
go down. So it is now that the car
riers are not getting this extra mon
ey which had heretofore helped them
along And we find when talking to
Mr. Beall that the carriers are losing
money as he says, during the three
months which | operated it, lost
about one hundred dollars per
month"

loss" and are asking that they put
up for bid a contract for daily mail
service from Tatum. N. NJ, to Lub-
book, in place of the one to Plains.
Mr. Beall thinks that should the con
tract be let for daily service to Ia
tum. that it should at least pay one
thousand dollars per month, thereby
insuring enough money for the car
rier to have up-to-date cars and able
to keep them in shape TO 20 every
day in the year regardless of the
weather.
We believe that the postoflice de-
partment should consider at least the
damages done to the carriers for the
failure Of traffic over the line, ac-
count Of the Unprecedented drouth
over the western part of the State
the past two or three years, which
has kept many people who otherwise
would have travelled away.

OUR SOUL WILL PAY

There was very little TO find fault
with in the spirit which the American
people showed when the war was
brought home TO them daily by deeds
of heroism sent back from the fields
of France. In those days, beneath the
selfshness OF commercialism, was
laid bare the soul of our people, II
was the same true, untarnished soul
which built the country through near
" century and a half of struggles
which tested every fiber of our being
as a nation.
II Is this spirit and soul Of our ma
tion which makes possible the
achievement by the American people
of any task which they set themselves
to do from the bottom OF their heart
Our nation never went into anything
with a more determined will than
Il did to defeat the abominable
mllltarsm which had been the lone
star Of the German people. The Amer
lean people won that battle.
The government Is now making an
appeal to the same spirit which won
that victory. The only work that re-
mains TO be done to make sure OF an
oversubscription TO the flfth loan Is to
bring home to the American spirit
which won the war the realization
that there is another great task which
II is right to be done. That Is paying
the bill Of the war. The American
people know the bill is just and viii
pay 1t.
