shades of rose appear in the pretty af-

petals that look like sweet peas are
glued to a plain foundation of pink pa

For the sake of victory, England and
the United States violated the neutral
European countries by political and eco
nomic pressure and requistioned their
tonnage in order to reduce the strain
on their own. In the long run, the sub
marine war had proved unpieasantiy eff
fectiyc after all, and produced severe
transport crisis land and sea.
In April the German submarines were
so successful that England would have
been ruined in nine months if the sink
ing had continued at the same rate. This
was the declaration made by an Eng
lish statesman in the House of Com
mons in November, 1918.
England utilized the shipping taken

British had almost broken his line. So
he had to order his badly battered 18th
army to make another attempt to de-
feat Byng. He schemed to have the
army around Lens join in this attack,
but he frankly admits that the attack
of the 18th army was such failure
that he had to drop the plan quickly.
Now, with the dread of the American
legions still in his mind and hurrying
his plans, he turned to the scheme that
had so often lured the German high
command-the capture of the Channel
ports. That idea dominated all mis-
strategy, he shows in his revelations.
Had he succeeded he would have made
British communications with France
much longer and more difficult, which
with the lack of shipping would have
been of vital Importance. Also he would
have been in position to turn long
range guns on London, hoping by
frightfulness to weaken the Britist
will.

For the Good of
the Community

T 7 has been strong uphill fight to get
u the reduced freight rates by way of
the Warrior river to Birmingham and it is
going to take continued and persistent
fighting to keep them, now that they are
established
A sitter fight is anticipated when the
question of removing the embargo placed
on points above Tuscaloosa is taken up
with the government authorities Certain
influences that are opposed to any river
navigation at all have been-and will con-
tinue to interpose objections to joint rates.
They are whipped sometimes, but never
quit.
Losing one point they begin the fight
against any further extension. =
This has been the history of the War
rior river. Over year was required in
which to get the joint through rates over
that stream, and then it was limited to
shipments through Tuscaloosa or points
below there. The very plausible excuse
of no terminal facilities at points above
Tuscaloosa was urged and for the time
being it has won.
United effort of all the people and all
the interests affected by the joint rates
will be required to secure the lifting of this
embargo.
Theodore Brent, traffic manager of the
Mississippi-Warrio waterways, an ex-
perienced traffic man with long years of
service in that branch with railroads, has
worked out rates, that would, if put into
effect all along the Warrior from Mobile
to the head of navigation, save thousands
of dollars to shippers and make opera
tons on the Warrior profitable to thesgov-
eminent.
He has worked hard to the end that
they might be established as prepared by
him. He has met seemingly insurmount-
able obstacles By persistence and the
help of few others who are vitality in
terested in the development Of the War
rior river traffic both in the Birmingham
district and elsewhere, he has succeeded
in having part of his programme put in
to effect He is still working for the entire
programme.
Opposition to the river, not because it
is the Warrior river, but because it is a
river, has been smoked out in number of
instances, but no sooner are they driven
from one position until they take another
and begin the fight all over again.
The apparent Indifference of Birming-
ham, which happily, is not Indifference at
all, but perhaps, an abundance of caution,
has lent aid and comfort to these opposing
interests. They use this in an argument
against further opening up of the Warrior
transportation, all the while having their
eyes on all river navigation in the United
States, and determined to make it as I'M
attractive and burdensome as possible.

Washington, Feb. "a. - Rotary

been released in the United States
since the close of the war and, ac-

SPEED WORK ON
PRELIMINARY
PEACE TREATY
Supreme Council Will Have
Draft Ready Upon Wilson'S
Return TO Paris

Paris, Feb. b.2+-Results of far-reach-
ing character were obtained at the meet
ing of the council of the great powers.
Saturday when resolutions were adopted
requiring such a speeding up of all inn
portant branches of the work of the
peace conference as to permit the formu-
lation of preliminary peace treaty by
the time President Wilson returns to
Paris in the middle of March, To ac-
complish this all commissions dealing
with the big questions of reparations
boundaries and economic and financial
issues must report to the Supreme coun-
Gil within the next two weeks or by
March at the latest An extensive
program had been carefully matured
within the last few days and it was
brought to a elimination in the after
noon when A. ]. Balfour, the British
foreign secretary, and Colonel u. NJ.
House, of the American delegation called
on Premier Clemenceua in his sick room
shortly before the council convened
Both Secretary Balfour and Colonel
House found the wounded statesman
dressed and sitting up and keenly alert
concerning the work of the conference
and fully agreed on the plan for rapid
acceleration of work on all subjects.
Shortly afterward, the Supreme coun-
ell met and ratified the program.
The main feature of the plan is to
embody all subjects, non-military and
as we'll as military, in the preliminary
peace soon to be framed and to have
this broad general document take the
place of a separate military treaty for
disarmament which had been prepared
by the Supreme War council.
But instead of this limited action on
military questions, to-day's decision
broadens the action so as to include all
important subjects within the scope of
the preliminary peace treaty, thus MAX
ing it embrace economical, financial and
all other essentials, subjects including
reparations.
The foregoing action relates only to
Germany, as the conclusion of this pre-
liminary peace treaty is regarded as
of chief Importance. But similar ac-
tion may proceed at the same time con-
corning Austria. Bulgaria and Turkey
although it is not sure that action on
these countries can be effected within
the same period.
