PALESTINE KIDS
 WITHOUT TOYS

Ever since the outbreak of the war, the children of Palestine have been without toys, and a whole gen eration is growing up that has not even ''mothered" a doll. The miseries that have all but overwhelmed th' city of Jerusalem have robbed eve1i the boys of any inclination to play, except now and then a pathetic ini- tation of football as indulged in by the British "Tommies" of General Alienby's liberating army. So writes Miss Libby Oppenheim, New York girl, who is secretary of the American Zionist Medical Unit, which is now operating in Palestine.
 Miss Oppenheim was charged with the task of distributing a contribu- ton of toys which accompanied one of the clothes shipments sent recent ly to the Holy Land by the Palestine Supplies Department of the Zionist Organization of America. The toys were distributed to the kindergartens, the schools, the orphanages and to the two children's hospitals in Je- rusaIem and Jaffa- Miss Oppenheim personally took some of the toys to the girls orphanage, and she describes the scene that transpired. We first explained the toys to Mrs. S- the head of the orphanage and to her as sistant. Mrs. S. then assem bled the children in one room and told them to cover their eyes as she had-a sur prise for them and placed them on the table. The children's patience patience could not last until all the toys were brought in, but when through the corner of their eyes, they saw a few of the toys, they were al- most beside themselves with joy. They leaped to their feet and scram bled onto the table. As Mrs. s. showed each toy to them and explained its use. they became almost frantic. One little rninx of six, whose patience had gotten out of bonds, asked, very per tfnentIy: But when do we get them ?' ! The children in our hospitals in Je- rusalem and Tel Aviv were also made happy by this fine donation of toys.

President Not Able to At tend Morning Session But
 is Better.

Paris, April 8-The Council of Four met this morning at the resi- dence of Premier Lloyd George. President Wilson was not able to at tend the morning session, but hoped to be able to attend the meeting this afternoon at the Paris White House.
 The overnight tension in PNce- Conference circles had not been dis pelled when the Council of Four met today In conference circles, how ever, it was felt that the session today would serve to clear the atmosphere.
 The first question taken up at the morning session of the Council, at which Colonel House represented President Wilson, was that of proee- dure This was considered in an ef- fort to accelerate the work of the Council.
 It was planned to devote the af- ternoon session to the subject of re- sponsibi1ity for the war, including the question of a tribunal to try the for mer German emperor, the former crown prince and others On which divided reports have been presented.
 American members of the Peace Conference said today that the gen eral situation was improved some- what today because of the agreement reached by the commission on repar- ations on the main features of the re- parations question, leaving only few unessenttal details for adjustment.
 Generally, a more hopeful tone pre- vailed in conference circles as the day went on.
 Members of the American delega- ton declined to give an explanation of the many rumors in circulation that the conference would complete it's work shortly. One member when ask ed for definite information on the subject, said:
 "You know the George Washington has been ordered to Brest. That is a good subject for speculation

RUMOR
 IS UNFOUNDED

Panama, Monday, April 7.---The re- cent rumor that the United States might obtain title to the islands of St. Andrews and Old Providence, in the Caribbean, off the Nicaraguan coast, had it's origin in the unoffcia1ly ex- pressed wish of Hoffman Philip, Unit ed States minister at Bogota- that the islands might be leased, according to a statement made by Santiago Her ras. fiscal agent of Colombia, while visiting the islands recently. He said that no sue action had been taken and that nothing could be done until the Colombian congress should revise the constitution, which foroids the alienation of national possessions.
 St. Andrews and Old Providence is lands lie in the Caribbean to the north-northeast of Colon, the Atlantic terminus of the Panama Canal Some time ago there was & report that the United States might secure the ts- lands from Colombia and fort1fy them as defences for the canal.

Former Sergeant r. J. Mitchell, who has been recruiting for World War Veterans of America, and has about 800 members in this city, an nounced today plans by which or ganization will become the nucleus of a universal nationwide organization, the affairs of which are temporarily controlled by preliminary commit tee, with Lieut.-CoL Theodore Roose- welt for it's chairman. Wilfred c. Dit toe, president of the World War Vet erans, has addressed to Sergeant Mitchell information as follows:
 ''The World War Veterans of Amer ica. was created for two purposes Its first purpose was to help the released service men to readjust themselves to the ways of peace. Desirable work ing arrangements were carried out between some of the existing war or ganiza tions, the United States Depart ment of Labor and this organization and we were enabled to administer re- lief of various sorts to several thou sand ex-service men in a few months.
 "The broader purpose of our or ganiza ton was to form the nucleus of a nationwide patriotic society.
 Tn the meantime, plans were laid both over seas and in the United States for another nationwide pa triotic society the main purposes of which were identical with those of the World War Veterans of America. The consensus of opinion among pub Iic-spirited thinking people is that there should be only one organiza- tions of veterans of this war and that all friction between societies of

veterans organized for the same pur- pose should be avoided; for only by unifying these various societies can that strength be achieved which is so necessary if the veterans organiza- tions are to be for the welfare of the nation.
 'Lt.-Co1. Roosevelt is in charge of the Preliminary Committee which is arranging for a national convention of service men to be held in St. Louis, Mo-, about May 1, 1919.
 ''The World War Veterans of Amer ica is a corporation created under the laws of the State of New York. The members of the Executive com nittee are convinced that it is in the interests of the country that the mat ter of organization of service men be placed in the hands of the Prelini- nary committee pending the naming of a permanent organization commit tee al the national convention, the call for which is now in preparation. Therefore all the officers and the Ex- ecutive committee of the World War Veterans of America have placed their resignations in the hands of the tenn porary committee of which Lieut.. Col Roosevelt is chairman.
 ".At the request of Lieut.. Col. Roose- welt, I have joined this committee and will continue to act as president with Thompkins McIlvaine as treasurer of the World War Veterans of America, pending the naming in May of the permanent national organization com >mittee.

Nevertheless, Woolworth was de- ternined to test his plan and his first venture was at Utica in 1879. He had but $50 in cash and gave his personal note for the goods. In a. year he had paid off his debt and saved some money. Closing out his store, he located at Lancaster, Pa, and established not only a store but the foundation of his fortune
 His rapid rise from a small store to the paIatial Woolworth building in this city---wtth more than 800 branch stores in the United States. over 50 in Canada and England---forms one of the most interesting business TO- mances in the history of the world.

He explained that the ship would have sailed on March 2s but that it was decided to make some repairs and that the tentative sailing date then was fixed for next Friday.
 The George Washington should reach Brest by April 20. Whether sine will make a return trip with sol diers before the President returns home will be determined upon her ar rival overseas. MT. Roosevelt said if this voyage were made it would be May 19 or 20 before the vessel could get back to Brest
 So far as could be learned today no information has been received at the White House or in other official quarters about the situation which despatches from France indicate has arisen there. Officials confidently declare their belief that the Prest- dent has no idea of leaving Paris prematurely and that the inquiry about the transport merely was a specula ton to insure the presence of the ship when the President is ready to return home
