NORTH DAKOTA
DRAFT BOARDS
WRITES Abe
Doesn't Stop to Get "Cohen on
the Telephone" to Tell
Him What's What

What one North Dakota county
draft board thinks of the proposal Of
Chairman Abraham X Cohen of dis
trict board No. of Massachusetts
that all members of draft boards be
commissioned brevet captains and
awarded a medal, in order that they
may display their uniforms and EN-
blems In parades and at banquets and
public places, is expressed in the fol
lowing letter to Mr.. Cohen:
"This board is today in receipt OF
your favor. You are strongly in favor
of a brevet commission, so you may
wear the uniform of the rank so OBJ
tanned, join clubs, probably appear In
parades, and become real veteran In
the future. That is highly laudable
ambition, and the persons entitled to
wear these trappings of rank and out
ward manifestation of having served
in the armed forces of the United
,tates will be proud men and rightly
so. However, what is b0thering this
board is, what have we done that is
out of the ordinary? As members Of
draft boards have We really sacrificed
anything? Did we not have three
meals q day? Did we not sleep in our
usual beds? Did we really do any
thing wonderful?
"The ambition to belong to an Of
ficers' club is pardonable, but he that
would wear the golden spurs OF
knighthood must win them Did we
win these uniforms by calmly staying
at home and doing clerical work? Not
at all. Why is not every stay-at-home
entitled to similar recognition? Is
the worker in the munitfon factory,
the worker in any Of the thousands Of
war activities, any less entitled to
these public manifestations Not al
all.
AS q small board, in small state,
and yet q state that furnished its sol,
diers at the least cost per capita Of
any state in the union, save one, this
membership trusts that our members
in congress will NOT authorize any
brevet ranks on our board. Let our
reward be the personal satisfaction OF
having done the work the government
asked us to do"
So far as can be learned but one
county board in North Dakota has re-
turned q favorable answer to the Hon
Abraham X. Cohen's suggestion that
Uncle Sam create great reserve OF
brevet captains.

SECOND TRIP
TO EU ROPE

President Wilson Expects to Re-
turn Before Peace Terms
Are Drawn -
WILL SAIL NEXT MONTH
To Address Congress Upon
Conference Immediately
on Arrival Home

Paris, Jan. 29.-,Much as President
Wilson hopes to avoid a second triE
to Europe, 1t begins to look as though
the trend Of peace conference affairs
would cause him to feel compelled tc
recross the Atlantic early in the
spring. The president is waiting tC
see what the remaining fifteen days
of his stay in raris will bring forth
before announcing his decision.
May Return.
Within the last day or two he has
told officials in his confidence that
he is impressed with the feeling that
1t would be his duty to return. The
president has told his confidants that
he felt his course would be fully jus
titled when he addressed congress
as he intends to do Immediately upon
his return to the United States. 1t is
said he has abandoned his plan of re-
turning to America by way Of Eng
land, to stop at Oxford to receive the
degree which that university wishes
to confer upon him. If this plan holds
good, he will sail from Brest on the
steamer George Washington between
February 10 and Is.
Extra Session.
This plan will bring up the ques'
ton of calling an extra session of con.
gress before his return to France,
with republican majorities in DOth
ahead for some time in June. hoping
to finish his work with the peace con-
ference in time to return to Washing
ton to be in the White House when
the special session convenes.
: The president is confident that the
messages which he will lay before
congress upon his return will justify
his proposal to pay a second visit to
Europe to participate in the further
deliberations of the peace conference.

The future OF the colonies taken
from Germany is one OF the most in.
teresting Of the many problems un-
der consideration by the supreme
council. The council is proceeding
with the consideration of general
policy which shall be adopted by the
five great powers in this matter. 1t
seems that the five great powers
through the council intend to dispose
Of the subject. The hearings already
have progressed to the stage where
The existence of views greatly at var
lance to those set forth by Pres. Will
son in his fourteen points have been
disclosed Americans are urging the
adoption of the American plan at the
very outset in order to keep the claim
ants within the bounds of fairness.
This plan looks to the control of the
various colonies, backward peoples by
powers within the league of nations.
These agents are to derive all their
powers from the league. The distri-
button OF the guardianship is to ue
made by the league of nations; so it
again happens as in the case of many
of the problems of reform broached
at the conference that it's consumma
tion is dependent entirely on the crea-
tion of the league. ..- ..
The great powers may be willing to
abandon their plan for. the complete
of former German colonies
although opposition is expected from
the colonial government.
