Miss Ollie Buckert OF Warsaw, accom-.

afternoon. They had been. in. the

Payton was seen to founder in deep
water, and go down. Young Cockerel
went to her assistance. and on ac-
count of the depth of the water, and
the struggles of the girl, was unable
to get her out. In his attempt to save
her, he got into the same deep water,
and both were drowned.
There was no one else at the beach
at the time, and Miss Pribble tried to
help them. She became exhausted
and had to give up. There was no
boat at the beach or any boards near
Cling bathers. Cockerel was good
swimmer, and so is Miss Pribble who
tried to rescue the couple.

A young Russian naval officer, in
command of one of our little ships,
with his own gun out of action, stood

toward the biggest of the enemy's
ships, and barred the channel while
our other ships retreated.
Then our river expedition got the

monitor crawled along the sandbars

and never declared clearly and openly,
up to the time when the magnificent
historic event took place and the great
people of the United States raised to
enter the struggle in the name of JUS
tlce, in the name Of liberty, in the
name Of freedom of the peoples. It's
highest officer, our great president,
has clearly and openly stated that it
is the will ard resolution of the great
American people to put on the altar
of freedom and liberty and justice all
that they have and are, and that he
will see and insist that these ideals
will govern the world in the future.
No secret treaties were considered by
the people Of America at any value
which were not founded on the princi-
pie of liberty.
And now let us consider again the
Dodecanese matter and give all it's
significance.
Italy insisted upon getting the Do
decanese, relying upon it's secret
treaty in London with England and
France. Our President Woodrow
Wilson objected and said, in the name
of the sanctity of the purpose for
which the American nation entered the
war, in the name of the American peo-
pie and its ideals of liberty and JUS
tice, in the name of my clear declara-
ton that America viii not recognize
any secret treaty, and considering the
fact that the inhabitants of the Dode-
canese are absolutely Greeks, I insist
that these islands should be united
with Greece. And so it has been done.
The matter of the Bodecanese is
the more clear fact for every one to
admit that America has set the real
purpose of the wax. The matter of the
Dodecanese is the most clear fact for
every one to admire the magnitude of
this nation for which all of us must
be proud. The matter of the Dodeca-
nese is the most, clear fact for every
one to know that the name of this
great nation will ge Down in history
as America, the Liberater.

The Presidents Message

Washington, May 20.-The presi-
dents message to congress recon-
mended the repeal Of wartime prohi-
bition law, so far as it applies to wine
and beer only; announced definitely
that the railroad systems, telegraph
and telephone lines would be returned
to private ownership, the railroads to
be returned at the end of the calendar
year; urged revision of war taxes,
particularly the abolition of manufac-
turers' and retail sales excuses; out
lined general program respecting
labor; again urged the enactment of
a constitutional amendment providing
for woman suffrage; recommended
that the tariff laws be supplied with
teeth to protect American industry
against foreign attack; spoke for leg
islation to facilitate American enter
prise through expansion of shipping;
backed Secretary Lanes program for
providing land for returning soldiers.
Of the Paris peace conference and
the league of nations the president
merely said that it would be prema-

judgment. He also avoided the dis

Why The Dodecanese Islands Were
Handed Back to Their Own Prople
No Effort Was Spared in Convincing the Great Men
at The Peace Table That This Must be
Done in the Name of Liberty and Justice.

(By John Diamandis. President Greek

The Associated Press has sent us the
news that "the Dodecanese islands, off
the coast of Asia Minor, have been re-
linquished by italy in favor OF
Greece"
There may be persons who wouldn't
ray much or any attention to this
news, but every one must consider this
to be the fundamental principle for
which the war has been fought, for
which our great nation has entered
and won the war-that is, the princi-
pie of freedom and liberty.
We deem it our duty to give to our
fellow American citizens an idea of
this matter and also to congratulate
the whole of cur town for the above
mentioned fact for which our city has
done its best through a cable sent to
our president and signed by the mayor
of the city, the city marshal, the noble
grand of the Odd Fellows, the secre-
tary of the Masons, and the president
Of the Tourist club, Of the Greek com
munity and other local organizations.
Dodecanese means twelve islands
and applies to certain islands in the
southeast part of the Mediterranean
sea, or Egeo These islands have al
ways been, since prehistoric time,
Ecllenic in culture, in language and in
civilization. After many centuries I'M
der Roman and Turkish dominion,
they were occupied by Italy in 1911,
during the Turkish war, purely
as military measure to force Turkey
to surrender to her the Tupolitsnos.
At the outbreak of the European war
Italy signed a secret treaty in London,
with England France and Russia, by
which these Dodecanese, while inhab-
tied entirely by Greeks, should be Civ

With these and similar other treat
les and arrangements, the war was
going on, and the purpose of the
struggle has been always Swallowed

Believe Hawker to Be Lost
No Definite News From Daring Australian
Aviator; Last Nights Reports Are

London, May 20. Eleven A. M.-(By

is so bad off the Irish coast that the
airplanes which were ordered to
search for Hawker's machine were I'M
able to fly against the strong winds,
rain and fog that prevailed during
the night. All communication centers
in London are silent as to news from
Hawker and Grieve. Even the rumors
which prevailed yesterday and last
night have died out.
The opinion is expressed in admiral

soon after starting. It is pointed out
that he almost certainly would have

not befallen him in the meantime.

young Russian naval officer in COM
mand of one of the little allied steam
ers on the Dvina river that the orig

not wiped out by the bolshevilli in the
cary phase of the northern Russian
campaign. +,
The Dvina expedition, 1873 strong,
went poking its way nonchalantly UP
the broad river aboard two or three
funny looking river steamers, on
which field pieces and machine guns
had been mounted. The bolsheviki had
taken the best boats, Mississippi style
of paddlewheelers, with them in their
flight.
