=. Opportunity to Shape Affairs.
ITO you men of the Mississippi
valley the reconstruction period
brings an obligation and an oppor-
tunity. to shape your affairs so as
to give the nation all that this rich
valley can yield, to enable it to meet
the extraordinary calls that will be
made" said Mr.. Carpenter in the
foreword of his address.
He stated that the Mississippi val
ley embraces 40 per cent of the area,
more than so per cent of the popula-
tion, and more than 20 per cent of
the raw materials produced in the
United States proper.
"The bulk of the national resourc-
es of soil. of mines, of forests, and
of waterways lie within its boundar-
les. Consequently the larger part
of the national substance must be
drawn from it." he said.
Seek Foreign Trade
"It must also seek foreign trade"
he added, "this time in finished prod
ucts as we'll as in raw materials
To do this successfully it must de-
velop its opportunity by reducing
its transportation to an economic
basis, by utilizing channels of low
natural resistance. This means that
its access to the sea must be had
by using the waterways and its easy
grade north and south railroad.
He explained that half century
ago the commerce of the valley was
moved by boats up and down the
Mississippi river and its tributaries,
The advent of east and west rail-
roads, acting in the interest of the
Atlantic seaboard changed the sit
uation. Mr.. Carpenter insisted that
the time and opportunity are ripe
to break up this transportation con-
troll and to give the valley access to
its natural ports ON the gulf.
He related that under theApcondi-
tions referred to, the Atlantic sea-
board gained wealth and power at
faster rate than the Mississippi
valley and today possesses greater
wealth and interest earning power
than any other region on earth.

Continuing, he said: "But the val
ley possesses greater producing
power than any other region and ]

The beginning of love is beauty.

Love understands with an intui-

PROVISION
BILL
House Passes Appropriations
for Next Fiscal Year With
Restriction to Maximum
Force Of 175,0O0.

Washington, Feb. 18.-Legislation
providing for temporary military
establishment of about $4,000 Of
ficers and men during the fiscal year
beginning next July was eleminat-
ed from the annual appropriation
bill tonight in the house after pass
age of the senate bill for resumption
of voluntary enlistments in the peace
time army, which would be restrict
ed to the miximum of H5,000 men
authorized in the National Defense
act of 1916.
The senate measure now goes to
conference and will become effective
upon its approval by President Will
son. The army bill also was adopt
ed by the house without a record
vote and now goes to the senate
with its completion there at this
session regarded by many leaders as
doubtful. 1t carries total of
81 ,070,0 100000 for the War depart
ment for the IL months after June
80.
Demobilization Provided for.
It was explained by members of
the house that the senate bill did
not affect the present wartime army,
which under the selective service
act must be demobilized within four
months after peace is formally de-
clared by presidential proclamation.
Decision of the house to consider
the senate measure was by vote
Of l72 to l62.
Chairman Dent by objection of the
house military committee, had asked
for a rule to make the temporary
armv legislation in the regular ap-
preparation bill in order, but the
rules committee took no formal ac-
ton on the request. Instead, i vot-
ed, z to 5, to report resolution
giving the senate measure the right
Of way. Ten republicans joined
with l62 democrats in voting for
the resolution in the house after a
sharp debate.
Before adopting the senate bill,
the house amended it so as to pro-
vide that recruits should be enrolled
in the regular army for only y one
year without further service in the
reserve. Their pay was fixed by an
other amendment at $50 a month,
the wartime basis in the army.
Republicans Register Protest.
Republican Leader Mann, in ex-
planning the votes of l55 republican
against adopting the rule to con-
slider the senate bill, said opposition
was not against the bill, but was
protest against the failure to con-
slider a temporary program that
would enable the quicker return OF
troops from Europe. The recruiting
bill itself finally was adopted with
out dissenting vote.
eff the democrats" i" said Mr.. Mann,
"refuse to let the house consider
legislation that will bring drafted
men home, the responsibility is with
the democrats. The responsibility
for such a condition will be with a
democratic administration under
legislation Of the democratic major
ity and against which republicans
protested"
Mr.. Mann's declaration brought
sharp retorts from the democratic
side. Representative Humphreys
of Mississippi declared that mo
demagoguery can make boys in
France believe we are trying to keep
them there"
His declaration for a small army
was vigorously applauded by the
democrats, as was also his assertion
that the soldiers should not be held
abroad for police duty.

OPENING OF.
The KEEL
ARMISTICE
CONDITION.
Forts on HeIgOIand and Canal
Must Be Demolished and
Interned German War
ships Destroyed.

London, Feb. 18.-(British Wire
less Service)-The final armistice
conditions which the supreme coun-
Gil is considering will be made pub
lie before the end of the month ac-
cording to various newspapers, and
they will include among the naval
conditions the demolition of the
forts of Helgoland and the Kiel
canal, the surrender for purposes of
destruction of German warships
now interned, and the opening of
the Kie1 canal for civil Transports.
1t is stated that Germany will be
left with a feet large enough for
defensive purposes.
Island Immense Bomb Proof.
The naval correspondent of the
Daily Mail, writing of the strong
Notifications on the island of Helgo-
land, says:
"The summit of the island is one
immense bomb proof, and the bat
teries are so placed as to be invis-
ible from the sea. The heavy guns
there-1l-inch and 12-inch weapons
probably were reinforced during
the war by 15-inch guns. The guns
are mounted in steel turrets of great
thickness. All the batteries and OBJ
servation posts are connected by
subterranean passages and the roads
leading up to them run along galler-
les which are she'll proof.
"The guns are mounted after the
usual fashion so as to give them
an immense range, probably from 10
to l21s sea miles. To. enable the
island to stand the concussion of
their discharge and resistance di-
rected against it, 100000 pounds is
said to have been spent before 1910
and, subsequently, other large sums
were allotted.
Destruction Difficult Task.
"The immense seaplane sheds are
said to have been of the disappear
ing type, which could be lowered
as a protection against long range
FIRE. There are store shops and re-
pair works with all the usual equip
ment of naval base. The fortifi-
cations presumably will be blown
up. but their destruction will be no
easy business. They are Of armored
concrete and steel, and very large
quantity of explosives will be re
quired.
"The fortifications at either en-
trance to the Kiel canal are of inn
mense strength and are lavishly sup
piled with the heaviest guns in steel
turrets."
Hindenburg Resents Terms.
London, Feb. 18.-Adyices receiv-
ed from Berlin by way of Basel to-
day are to the effect that the Pam
German military party, headed by
Field Marshal yon Hindenburg,
bitterly resents the new clauses in
the armistice, especially those limit
ing the German army to the size of
a Simple police force, the supervi-
sion of control of ammunition fac
tories and the demand that Germany
paw the expenses of the allied ar
mics of occupation on the Rhine.
These conditions, it is complained,
will throw out of work thousands
of German officers, from generals
downward, while the army of 100000
volunteers reported by the German
press to have been organized must
be disbanded.
The advices add that indignation
against Matthias Erzberger on the
part Of the military authorities i0
increasing.
