THE TREATY OF PEACE.

Although the time for presenting the
terms of peace TO the German delegates
j. close at hand there is some uncer-
tainty as to what the terms will ac-
tually be The best advices attain.
able Indicate the treaty will lack con
siderably of representing in full the
fourteen points formulated by Pres
ident Wilson previous to the opening of
negotiations. One Paris correspondent
4 SAYS there will be five notable omis
/ sions of the treaty go No prohibition
of submarines, no definition of free
dom of The seas. no provision for the
eodifcation or even the sanction of in
ternational law, no requirement for tile
destruction of the German feet and nc
delimitation of japanese supremacy ir
China "
1t may safely be said that the omis
sion of these important features in
the treaty are not due to the desertior
of ideals by President Wilson It rep
resents ON the contrary the necessary
concessions to the European and Asia
tic ideals which incline more to tho
old doctrine that TO the victor belong
the spojls than Americans wish
This old ideal has been responsible fol
more war than peace and as far as TIL
present peace is based upon it, tn,

WELL" said the great big stone,
"this is fine"
The big stone was big enough SO that
quite few children could get on 1t at
one time. 1t was away off in some
woods. quite far from the neares. vii
lage, and it was fine place to have a
picnic.
Some children had decided to give
picnic there and they had asked
their daddy to let them have two or
the horses and the team to take them
oil to the big stone.
The stone was in some woods which
belonged to family in a neighbor-
ing farmhouse. They were not very
we'll off, so they made little money
by charging a small amount for people
who wanted to go through their land
to see the stone and have a picnic
there.
And the most important thing about
the stone has not yet been told. 1t
was a rocking stone. Yes. that great
big stone actually rocked when one
touched it, just as rocking chair will
rock
All the children went in the wagon
who were going to the picnic, ard
there were five children in all.
They reached the road which was
a private one, and they stopped to pay
to be allowed to go through TO the part
where the rocking stone was.
How much is it," they asked OF
the neighboring farmers little boy.
Its five cents apiece for children,
he said "And that lets you look a
the stone and stay there as long a.
| you want"
| "How much will it cost to let tht
team go through?' the children asked
for they thought If would cost more
with the wagon and horses.
The little boy thought for momen
and then he said: There won't b.
any charge for them, because l don
suppose they will look at the ston
muchi'
They all laughed, and the childre
went through to the rocking stone. An
it was then the stone said to itself
"This is fine" How wonderful
seemed, The stone was so big tina
they had to climb up a ladder in oFde
to reach the top where they were &C

1T can't be-" the other children said,
''for the spring has come"
But look. there are really snow

And, true enough, even though the
spring had come, huge snowflakes fell
upon the children as they ate their
picnic lunch on top of the big rocking
stone.
And they laughed and said: well,
this is a real picnic and everything is
very wonderful"

so interesting as everything is little

King Snow chuckled and went to bed

happy indeed.
