It's just at this time Of the year that

People get sick because they 60 away

we'll is to 60 back. Something grows out

vegetable growths are understood by
man, and some are not. Animals, it
would seem, know What to do when
they are sick better than men and
women. Observers have noted that a
sick horse, dog or cat will stop eating
food and seek out some vegetable growth
in the field or yard, which, when found
and eaten, often restores appetite and
health. Haven't you seen these animals
do this very thing yourself?

WITH THE EDITORS )
MIR. WILSON'S APPEAL FOR JUSTICE

President Wilson has now boldly taken the
Fiume case into the court of world opinion. His
public statement is admirable in the cogency of
its logic the calm firmness of it's tone the appeal
for just dealing it makes to victorious Italy, Unan-
imously approved by the American delegation, it
will also no doubt enlist the support of the Amer-
can people, who desire their representatives in
Paris to make peace founded on justice
The Pact of London, made before the United
States entered the war, designed to bind Italy
to the cause Of the allies. 1t was made on the
assumption that, when the war ended, there would
be an Austria-Hungary to deal with, defeated
enemy from whom certain spoils could be taken for
destowal on the new ally. But even the Pact of
London did not promise Fiume to Italy. The port
was to remain Croatian. Italy now seeks by CIV
ing up the parts of Damatia that were promised
to her, to secure Fiume in exchange .
But, as Mr.. Wilson shows, the Pact of London
is dead letter. It never did bind the United
States, and in view Of the completely altered cir
cumstances it ought not to be held as binding the
powers that signed it. Instead of beaten but
hostile Austria-Hungary, Italy has for neighbors
new and friendly Slavic states-states that will be
in the League of Nations and committed to the
policies Of peace justice and prosperity. It would
be monstrous to deny them their own port on
the Mediterranean. The only real argument for
making Fiume Italian and the Adriatic an Italian
lake, was the naval menace of Austria Hungary
to 1tays safety. That menace has been removed
by the results of the war Italy no longer has
anything to fear. She can afford to be just to
Jugo-Slavia.
But the Italian delegation has withdrawn from
the conference This creates an admittedly grave
situation The present imperalistic regime in
Italy may fall as result of it's ntransigent stand
at Paris. But the power of Italy to alter the re-
suits of the conference is dubious.
Italy needs the allies far more than they need
her. Coal and food she must have, if her indus
tries are to revive and her people be fed. It may
be assumed that if Orlando and Sonnino do not
yield Italy will sooner or later choose other repre-
sentatives who will do so. For though Great Brit
ain and France stand ready to carry out the Pact
Of London if held to its strict letter. tet eally
uphold the American position and counsel Italy to
award Fiume to Juso Slavia. Minneapolis
