PEACE COUNCIL IS
 READY FOR MEETING

Continued from Page Onel ing small undeveloped nations is to be established, according to the American plan-a system of international trus- teeship, whereby the various larger na tionS, haVinga developed and stable civilization. will act as trustees for the society of nations, in fostering the pro- gress and development of undeveloped communities.
 It is recognized that the league of nations will have to have some es- tablished and permanent seat for its extensive international work, and the gradual conviction is taking form that this seat will be Versailles. The de- cision as to this. however. must be the natural outgrowth of the peace con- ference.
 Versailles Is Favored Reports that the working organiza- tion might be located in Holland or Belgium are declared to be incorrect, as it is pointed out that the present war went on despite The Hague conven- tions, and the peace organizations at | The Hague, Berne and other places. Versailles, on the contrary, is felt to embody the spirit of the present move ment for the restoration of peace on an enduring basis. and the creation of a i league of nations. and also to have prac- tical facilities which it's proximity to a large capital gives.
 l The present informal exchanges will l progressively develop into the formal gathering of the inter allied conference and that, in turn. to the peace congress 1 in which a number of committees will be charged with the various interna l.
 tional subjects before the congress
 And out of these successive stages it is
 expected that a league of nations will be embodied as a tangible existing or ganiZation as well as d documentary treaty.
 The exchange of views on the ten
 tative plans is permitting such mutua accommodation on fundamental points
 that it is expected that public state ment will be made at an early date
 with the authorization of the govern
 ments concerned, showing the genera
 character of the progress made.

Deny "American PIan."

PARIS, Jan. 7-The American dele gates to the peace congress have taken note of the American plan for a league of nations as outlined by the Paris edition of the Daily Mail. It is said they have no knowledge of it, be- yond what they have read. The mem bers of the commission declare that it did not originate with them.
 The American plan, it is declared. is not yet definitely formulated and will not be until the president further ex- amines various tentative suggestions, including several from allied govern ments.
 It is added, in authoritative quarters, that the statement that the Briish gov ernment has accepted the plan outlined by the Daily Mail is incorrect.

GERMANY SLOW TO COMPLY.

PARIS. July 7.-Havas)--Only ten days remain before the expiration of the time allotted to Germany for the meeting of the armistice terms of Mar shal Foch, and many of the details still remain not entirely complied with. This is particularly true as concerns article four of the armistice, regarding the surrender of war materials, es- pecially guns and airplanes.
 Added to the non -fulfillment of the surrender of war paraphernalia, is the failure of Germany to abide by her agreement to repatriate immediately a great number of entente soldiers held as prisoners, and in high, quarters here, the question has arisen whether in spite of Marshal Foch's accustomed indulgence, the inter-allied command will not be more severe in its dealings with Germany, when the expected re- quest by Germany for further delay in meeting the allied terms comes up for discussion.

It is said to be the plan to allow the govern ment to make the first move by charg- ing d violation, and upon the prosecu tion thereof, the liquor interests will wage their fight
 Older Than Constitution
 The resolutions adopted today stated that there are 300 distilleries in the country, with an aggregate investment in plants and products of at least $1,- O0U, 100000 {. he industry actually ante dates the constitution adopted in 1189: and that the business has heretofore been recognized. encouraged and pro- tected by the United States govern ment itself It was also stated that there is on hand about 150,000,000 gal 1 Ions of whiskey and alcohol. of a total Value of about s150, ,000, and that federal and state taxes of at least S5, 000,000, 900 have been paid since the en- actment of the internal revenue law of 1882
 The resofItions declared that carry ing out of the wartime prohibition ! legislation and the proposed amend ment would destroy the property in- i Volved and would violate every prin- 1 cipe of American justice and of con = stitutional guaranties''
 It was further asserted that consit- i tutional lawyers of eminence have giN . en their opinions that the proposed amendment lis inherently vicious and | destroys the basic rights of local self 1 government. which are the cornerstone upon which our constitution and the whole theory and structure of our gov ernment rests"
 Position Is Stated
 Discussion of the anti liquor legisla ton by the distillers. brought out the position against the proposed fedora amendment as follows:
 First-It violates article ten of tn constitution. which provides that pow CTS not delegated to the United States nor prohibited to the states, are re served to the states respectively or | the people.
 Second-Under this article, 36 state can not deprive the other 12 of inher ent rights.
 Third-The action of congress in stip ulating that the amendment must b ratified within seven years. is uncon stitutional because congress has n right or precedent for limiting the tim,
 Fourth-The provision that congres and the several states shall have 'con current power to enforce the amend ment by appropriate police power ' unconstitutional. because it would mak the violation of the federal law a erim under the state law.

1t was his determination TO be in at
the doings of the zero hour that
forced him off the job for a whole
week. At scissors. while he was
going over the top, his right shoulder
got in the way of some German
shrapnel and for seven days the hos

on him to prevent him from rejoin-
ing his beloved marines, regardless.
odd Docs" experience in break

When he Joined the 9Th and it became
known that he was preacher
husky non com" approached him and
said:
Get out of here We don't want
any parsons lin our OUTFIT"
But Doc" didn't do anything of
the kind He just stuck around and
in three weeks occurred the famous
episode of the missing coat and cap.
The boys of the 45th Company were
at the bottom of it. When the coat
and cap came back the "Y" buttons
had disappeared from the coat to
make way for the buttons of the
leathernecks," the eagle, globe and
anchor. and beside the red triangle on
the cap was the insignia Of the ma
rines.
The captain of the company and the
major of the battalion at once made
great TODD about this violation of
the regulations regarding the wear
Ing OF the insignia of the corps by
civilian. Col Doyen, who died from
pneumonia soon after being promoted
to brigadier general, heard about 1t
and started an investigation. Here
with Is his ruling:
III the boys want you to wear the

the greatest honor that has been con-
fefred upon me. 1t isn't so hard to
get war crosses and distinguished
service medals. but 1t isn't every one
who can get under the skin Of the
marines"
And how those boys have justified
the mutual confidence that has existed
between them from that day to this.
When they hadn't been paid for sew
eral weeks DOC" Clifford put his "Y''
canteen on a credit basis. Before the
accounts aggregating 5000 francs,
some of IT In money lent.
Every one of those accounts has
been squared says Doc" Clifford,

money, but the only ones who didn't

died from wounds before they got
their money l had just two outstand-
Ing accounts when i got gack to New

that we were all square he insisted

he's in position to know. He has no
fear that the following words will be
used against him:
Maybe you who have not been
through hell over there will not be-

in my mind, that every one of nv
boys who went west and every other
lad who died over there has gone

Every man in that outfit was ex-
actly 100 per cent man and not afraid
to lay down his life. I've Witnessed
so many acts Of heroism among my
boys that there isn't paper enough on
which to set them down"
After a statement like that one
ceases to wonder why Baptist Doc"
thinks more of the insignia of the
marines. which he wears upon his
collar. and the service buttons upon
his blouse than he does of the croix
de gnerre and the Lorraine cross.
For DOC" Clifford is entitled to
wear both decorations, unusual honor
for war worker. The records of the
r. M G.. A. War Work Council show
that q dozen or more workers were
cited for bravery under fire, but SO
far as is known only two others share
