KEEP GOAT IN BACK GARDEN
All Kinds of Reasons Why the Newly
WEEDS Should Give Some Con-
sideration to the Animal.

| The cartooniSt, with whom the New
j lyweds are favorite if somewhat
hackneyed subject, may sharpen q
fresh pencil; the day is coming, if not
already here, when the joys and sor
rows of young wedlock may be pic
tured from new angle. We are IA
miliar with the NeWlyweds' bungalow,
with their baby, with their Tin Lizzie
fruitful of mishaps; soon with these
| stock possessions may be listed anoth-
er-to-wit, goat.
One may keep goat in the ordinary
city or suburban back yard, Eleanor
Anstruther writes in Sunset. No ex
tensive pasturage is required as in
the case of the cow. If vacant lot or
brushy hillside be available, a goat
will thrive on what it can CLEAN there,
though cow, horse, or even sheep
might starve. But our suburbanite
NeWlyWedS presumably must keep
their goat within the confines of their
own back garden. Very we'll; every
one may still be happy, including the
goat. For the goat will contentedly
resolve into milk and mutton any kind
of vegetable or green stuff that grows
in the garden. Weeds enchant her
she will eagerly devOur, and with great
profit to herself and owner, the results
of strenuous mornings wedding on
the part of Mr.. Newlywed. By-prod-
ucts of the kitchen, such as the par
ings of fruit and vegetables, are well
come, though it must always be re-
membered that contrary to general be-
lief the goat is a clean feeder; the
garbage must go to the chickens, not
to the goat.
Briefly, single goat may almost be
kept on the waste from a garden, and
the feed of COW will maintain seven
or eight goats.

THREAT WAS MADE
BY ITALIAN ENJOYS
Wilson Forced to Issue a Statement
on Fiume, Says a Paris
Dispatch.

Paris, April 2S.-NOt only three days,
but a full fortnight, prior to the issu-
ance of his statement on the Fiume
question. President Wilson read it to
Premier Lloyd George and Premier
Clemenceau, and both absolutely ap-
proved it.
This fiat assertion was made to your
correspondent by one Of the highest
placed American peace officials who
s close in the presidents confidence.
Frank indignation was expressed in
official quarters over the continued eff
iOrts on the part of the British and
French to convince the world that
Clemenceau and Lloyd George were
surprised by President Wilson's Adj
eiatfc statement.
My informant declared that unless
these efforts are promptly checked the
president will officially lay all the facts
before the whole world. The official
continued:
president Wilson withheld the is
SUance of his statement until the Ital-
ld1lS ISSu0u threat, luIOuSl1 IlISlL du-
thOriZed spokesman, that they intend
ed Withdrawing from the peace confer
ence and make a separate peace.
Lloyd George and Clemenceau, be-
ing signatories to the pact of London,
naturally could not sign the Wilson.
statement. Now, because Lloyd
Georges personal newspaper organs
are denouncing the president, he is
trying to shift his position.
''It is an excellent thing for the
American people to know that at no
time have Lloyd George and Gle
menceau cO-operated with the presi-
dent in Fastening the negotiations.
''On1y when the president ordered
the steamer George Washington back
to Brest did the French and British
agree to hurry up the negotiations.
You cannot, too emphatically declaRe
that the president will not submit to
shameful compromises in order to Sc
cure a peace agreement. When the
present negotiations are concluded
whether successfully or nOt-the presi-
dent will make a complete report of
his stewardship to the American peO-
pie"

ALLIES ADOPT NEW
PEACE AGREEMENT
Japan's Contention on Race Issue
Is withdrawn.
FRENCH ALSO AGREE TO PACT
Covenant Was Moved by President
Wilson and Not More Than Mo-
ment Was Consumed in Its
Adoption by Conference.

Paris, April 29.-The revised COW
eHant of the league of nations was
adopted by the plenary session of the
peace conference without division and
without amendment The covenant
had been moved by President Wilson.
The president said it was not neces-
Sary to emphasize the significance of
the great covenant and the hopes en-
tertained that a conference of the free
nations of the world would maintain
justice in their international relations
and peace between the nations
Japs Quit Fight.
The Japanese and French amend
mentS were withdrawn and it is under
stood they have been left for decision
by the league Of nations itself.
The text of the labor principles for
insertion in the treaty was adopted,
and the conference adjourned without
considering responsibilities.
President Wilson, in his speech ex-
planning the revised covenant of the
league of nations, said that Sir Eric
DrummOnd of Great Britain had been
named as the first secretary general
of the league.
Sir Eric DrummOnd has been private
secretary to A. J. BalfOur, the British
foreign secretary, since December,
1916 Previously he had served Sir
Edward (nOw ViscOunt) Gray in the
same capacity, while Sir Edward was
foreign secretary. From March, 1912,
to June, 1915 he was private secretary
to Herbert III. Asquith, then the Brit
ish premier.
Regarding the composition of the eX-
ecutive council, the president said that
Belgium, Brazil Greece and Spain
would be represented on the council
In addition to the five great powers
until Il permanent choice had been
made.
Presentation of the amended league
of nations covenant by President Will
son marked the opening of the session.
The president then explained the vari-
Gus alterations.
The president moved that the pow
ers name representatives to form a
committee Of nine to prepare plans to
organize the league and establish the
seat of the league.
Maxine Asks Equality.
Baron Maxine of the Japanese dele
cation spoke after President Wilson
and said he regretted that the rresi-
dents speech had not been translated.
He then moved the Japanese amend
ment on racial equality.
He said it was race question, with
equality of nations, he ascribed, should
he a fundamental principle of the
league.
The Japanese statesman added that
he felt it his duty to state the poignant
regret of the Japanese delegation over
the failure of the league of nations
committee to do justice to the Jap
anese demand which was based on a
Cieep-roOted national conviction.
Japan. he added, was obliged to re-
vert to her original position on this
question.
Leon Bourgeois, former premier,
spoke for France. He said that the
French amendments to the league, in
Guiding a demand for national arrhy
and police force and the limitation and
verifcation of ornaments of all ma
lions. had not been adopted.
France. however. would sign the
pact. M. Bourgeois said.
