WILL SIGN PEACE
TERMS FRIDAY
GERMANS AND ITALIANS NAME
NEW COMMISSIONERS
German Peace Delegation to Arrive
81 Versailles Friday Morning
Much Joy Manifested Over Appar-
ent End Of War.

Paris, June 24.-The German del
egation which will sign the peace
treaty will arrive at Versailles Fri
ay morning, the French foreign Of
e has been informed. It is thought
probable in French circles that the
signing Of the treaty win take place
at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon.
The information regarding the time
Of arrival Of the German delegation
was made known to Premiers Glenn
cnceau and Lloyd George and Presi-
dent Wilson while they were at Yer
sailles this afternoon looking over
arrangements for the signature of
the treaty.
Rome, Monday, June 2S.--The new
Italian delegation to the peace con-
ference, it was announced tonight
will leave here Wednesday and ex-
poets to arrive in Paris in time to
sign the treaty Of peace with Ger
many. The delegation is composed
Of Foreign Minister Tittoni and three
senators, Vittorio Scialoia, GuglielmO
Marconi and Maggiorino Ferraris.
Marquis Gorgio Guglielmi, a member
Of the chamber Of deputies, will be
secretary Of the delegation.
Weimar, Monday, June 20. The
German delegation to sign the peace
treaty probably will be named tonight
or tomorrow.
Before the national assembly voted
today to sign the peace terms uncon-
ditionally, fiery appeals in opposition
were made by the democrats and
conservatives, but they apparently
had little effect. When the vote was
called all but a few members arose to
signify their affirmation Of the gov
ernment's decision to sign. Once the
vote was taken, gloom appeared to
descend upon the assembly The most
vigorous opponents of signing were
speeches. and seemed to accept the
Inevitable with resignation.
Many wild rumors of what would
happen when it became known the
assembly had voted almost unani-
mously to accept the terms gained
currency. One that appeared to get
most support was that all the officers
of the German army would resign if
the government did not refuse to sur
render German leaders, especially
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and
Gen. Ludendorff, and defy the allies
To seize the former, emperor. In mil
itary and semi-military circles a
strong insistence has developed that
the former emperor is innocent and
that under no circumstances must he
be placed on trial except in neutral
court.
In some quarters the threat Of the
officers to resign was taken most
seriously on the ground such action
might rave the way for Spartacan
and communist uprising throughout
the country.
Paris. June 25.--Advices from Ger
many to the council Of four are to
the effect that the German govern
ment was occupied today in selecting
new delegates for Versailles.
tt was conceded to be impossible
that the ceremony of signing could
take place before Saturday. Unof-
ficial reports were that it probably
would be delayed until Monday.

PROOF OF BIBLICAL TRUTH
Religious Writer Points Out Parallel
Between Germany and the Re-
corded Fall of Man.

The world war has brought to the
fore striking illustrations of the truth
of Bible doctrines as usually interpre-
ted by what is called the old theology.
Glance for moment at some Of the
old Bible truths that the war has illus
trated and INDICATED.
Take, for example, the fall Of man
as recounted in Genesis. Some have
had difficulty with this fundamental
doctrine of the Bible. l was talking q
short time ago with a brilliant young
college man, STEPPED in the scientific
sI;epticism Of the age. and he said:
But, doctor, think how irrational Is
the theory that man fell In a garden,
just created by an all.wise and all
powerful Godr
I replied by pointing out the very
interesting fact that modern Germany
also fell In a garden. There was not
q country upon the earth more bIest
and prosperous than Germany. Her
progress In all lines, except morals
and spirituality, had been marvellous.
II she had remained true to right
ideals she would have gone on un.
doubtedly into the leadership of the
whole earth. But even in that garden
Of prosperity and peace the devil Of
nelflshness, untruth and false ambition
entered. and the ruling classes fell,
and. like the fall In Eden, carried 9TH
ers down with them.-Dr. John Roach
Straton In Christian Herald.

COULD NOT SEE BEE-B0MBs
Washington Authorities Turned Down
Suggestion That Was Made in
Perfect Seriousness.

1t would be hard TO say which of the
many impractical suggestions toward
winning the war; that occurred to
individuals and were submitted to
Washington was the most imaginative,
but conscripting the busy bees GER
tainly deserves honorable mention
Enormous numbers of these mellifer-
GUS or anthopilous aculeate hymenop-
ferrous insects, as the dictionary calls
them, were to be distributed by air
planes over the enemy trenches, pre-,
sumably by dropping what might be
called bee-bombs, and the confusion
that would follow may easily be mag
med by anybody who has ever got into
trouble with a single beehive. But the
military experts failed to see the util-
ity of the scheme. Perhaps they fore
saw that the enemy would promptly
provide himself with netting and de-
wise bee-armOr. The aviatOrs who dis
tributed the bee-bOmbs would natural
~ have been called apiators. The idea
was ridiculous, but let those laugh who
have never thought of something that
seemed sensible in the evening and al
sufd next morning.

Restful Silence

Most topics that you would discuss sad and tresome
things to u.s. for we are tired and prone to bak at all the
endless streams of talk We long for silence quiet peace
and wish the eloquence would How sweet and rest
full it would seem every bore and every theme could be
by might of law suppressed Oh that would soothe our
souls distressed We're tired of and politics, OF Huns
and all their Hunnish tricks of problems large and prob
lens SMALL of Russian freaks and Prssan gall OF doves
Of peace and fists of STEEL and all the things of which
bores SPIEL Oh for glen bosky dell, where we re-
mote from talk might DWELL Oh, for some hollow in the
ground, where Windy Jims never found! Some her
nitage among the trees, where might live on bark
and peas and never meet noisy bore who'd thrash the
topics oer We'd think thoughts and read
sylvan gades, babbling brooks, where word
lpss songs BY birds are sung and Never hear human
For weary heartsick gents; were tired
of stale old arguments OH for some cavern in the west
where takworn delegates might rest!

SALT LAKEClTY
 IS CARING FOR 0VERSEASB0YS

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 27.-The United States Army General Hospital. No. 27, situated on the Fort Douglas reservation, near this city, is harbor- ing close to 250 patients, about 80 per cent of whom are overseas men. It is expected, according to those in con- mand at present, that the capacity of the hospital-1,2OO cases-shall be reached by summer of this year.
 Only general and developing cases, medical and surgical, are admitted to this hospital, original plans to make the Fort Douglas reconstruction hospital having been given up. Those whose injuries are likely to become permanent, it is said, will be sent to reconstruction hospitals from here.
 The hospital at Fort Douglas is, in- tended principally for cases of those soldiers whose homes are in the inter- mountain states. At present there are patients from Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico and a few from California.
 Two new buildings are under con- struction and all of the old barracks have been, or will be, connected with glass-covered bridges in order to fa- cilitate the movement of patients. Each soldier patient, as he arrives, is given an entire new outfit, unless it happens that he received one before sailing from France.
 Entertainment is provided through the Red Cross, the Young Mems Asso- citation, the Knights of Columbus, and War Community Service, and nearly every day members of local theatrical companies perform for the sick and wounded men. Delicacies and flowers are donated daily by women of Salt Lake city Casual visitors are not permitted, and a pass to visit an indi- vidual spatient must be secured by each visitor, which pass allows only that one particular visit for which it Is issued.

GOVERNMENT SHOULD AID
 IN BUILDING HOMES

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27.-NegIect of housing by the United States gov ernment is shameful, declared Robert D. Kohn, architect and former United States shipping board official, in an address he delivered before the Oc- tavia Hill association.
 "Why, even little Cuba appropriated several millions for this purpose be- fore the war;" declared MT. Kohn. "Why have we been so remiss? Prob ably because we have a naive belief in the all-efficiency of private initia tive. People make most money out of building expensive houses. Conse- sequently no houses are built for the man who receives low wages, and he has to live in houses no one else would have"
 Mir. Kohn approved the plan of Massachusetts, where, he said, the State loans money at low rate of in- terest SO that low-cost houses can be built
 "In England" continued MT. Kohn. Premier Lloyd George already has announced a colossal housing pro gram, one hundred millions, believe. It, is part of their reconstruction pro gram, and supplementary to their war time efforts in that direction
