london's Air Raid Warning
Guns Used to Tell of Peace

London, June 2S.-London learned
Of the signing of the peace treaty at
Versailles at $40 o'clock. The news
became known through the firing of
guns which had been installed dur
ing the war to warn the city of air
raids. They now were used as
harbingers of the long-awaited
peace.
The moving throngs came to a
halt when the first report was
heard. The tension lasted only a
few seconds. Then the people gave
themselves up to a celebration of the
event.
Flag sellers did a brisk trade.
Their wares were bought eagerly
and were thrown to the breeze by
the cheering thousands.
The great bells of St. Paul's cath
edral and Westminster abbey and
virtually all the churches of the
metropolis added to the din. Bands
of Boy Scouts, engaged in their
usua Afternoon marching. put even
more than customary force into the
blowing of bugles and beating of
drums.

Little Sentiment Shown in
Capital Over Peace SIGNING

Washington, June 2S.-Word of
the consummation of peace was re-
ceived by the national capital with
scarcely flutter of popular or Of
ficial sentiment.
At the White House and the state
department the news aroused only a
quiet feeling of satisfaction that the
pre-arranged program for the sign
ing at Versailles had gone through.
In congress there was but momen-
tary demonstration and on the
streets the Saturday crowds gave no
show of interest.
The story of the historic cere-
mony, flashed over a direct wire to
the state department., was given to
the press in brief bulletins, keeping
close step with the developments in
the hall of mirrors. The account
was brief and was made public with
out comment by department Off
Gals.
As soon as the signing was con-
cluded, President Wilson's message
to the American people announcing
the long-awaited event and appeal
ing for acceptance of the treaty
without change or reservation was
made public at the White House to-
gether with some details of the
presidents homecoming.
Expect Official Vote.
1t was by the reading of this
message, congress was informed
that the Versailles negotiations
were at an end. 1t was expected
that an official notification would
await the arrival of Mr.. Wilson and
would be delivered in person by
him at a joint session of the senate
and house.
In the senate chamber to which
the nations interest in the outcome
of the peace negotiations now is
transferred, announcement of the
signing was received in silence. In
terrupting an appropriations bill
debate, Senator Hitchcock, of Ne
braska, senior democrat of the for
eign relations committee, read the
presidents message to an atten-
tive audience comprising less than
half the senate's membership.
Without any comment he then re-
linquished the floor and the ap-
preparations debate proceeded.
The house, however, punctuated
reading of the message with ap-
plause and there was a short out
burst of cheering when the presi-
dents name was read at the end.
There was no discussion of it, the
only comment being an announce
ment by former Speaker Clark,
when he sent it to the clerks desk
to be read, that he wanted to put
into the record some good news"
Privately senator's and represent
tatives who have supported the
league of nations expressed high
praise for the presidents message
while Chairman Lodge of the for
eign relations committee and other
opponents of the league covenant
had nothing to say.

WOODROW WILSON,"
Expected July 7.
Washington, June 2S.-While the
White House was not fully advised
regarding the presidents plans, it
was expected that he would reach
this country about July 7, and come
almost Immediately to Washington.
1t was revealed that he expected to
land at New York and it was
thought entirely likely he would re-
main there few hours to attend a
meeting of welcome.
Mr.. Wilson's appearance before
congress probably will follow his ar
rival in Washington, though it may
be delayed a few days because of
the plan of senate leaders to make
a series of short recesses after
July l.
The presidents speaking tour for
the league of nations is expected to
begin almost as soon as he has laid
the treaty before congress.

The Tageblatt says:
The German people reject the
treaty which its delegates are
signing today and it does not be-
lieve for single moment that it
will endure. Despite the fact that
it is written on parchment, it re.
mains a scrap of paper. because it

Wilson Signs Treaty.
When they regained their seats
after signing, President Wilson i'm
mediately arose and, followed by the
other American plenipotentiaries,
moved around the two sides of the
great horseshoe to the signature ia
bic. President Wilson. and not M.
Clemenceau thus had the honor of
signing first of all the leaders of
the world alliance, but the honor
was due to the alphabet, not other
considerations, as the signatures &C.
cur in the same French alphabetical
order as the enumeration of the al
lied and associated powers in the
prologue of the treaty-the same Or
der which determined the seating of
the delegations at the plenary ses-
sions of the interallied conference.
The five great powers hereunder
are grouped separately, the smaller
states following again in alphabet
ical order.
But, if the formal proceedings
moved with system and complete
adherence to program. the same
cannot be said for the other ar
engagements. which detracted most
markedly from tn eimpressiveness
of the epochal event. So many
spectators had. in one manner or
another, gained access to the hall
that the struggle for points of van
tage at times approached the stage
of brawl, and the few officials en-
trusted with keeping order had the
greatest difficulty in securing even
semblance Of order.
Cries of down in 'front.'" which
probably never before were heard
at a gathering of similar import
ance, were addressed quite as often
to the officials of the conference as
to the unofficial spectators. The
state for the ceremony was quite as
crowded as the spectators enclos-
ures. giving a picture of crush and
confusion, and the plenipotentiaries
and attaches instead of arriving in
delegations, formally introduced by
ushers, as had been planned, drifted
in individually, as at the earlier ses-
sions.
Few Uniforms Seen.
The only uniforms seen in the
long hall to match the rich color
ing of the ceiling, the paintings and
magnificent marbles, which Louis
TX built into his chateau, were
those of a group Of allied generals,
almost all wearing the flaming scar
let sash Of the Legion of Honor and
the ceremonial scarlet and white
garb of the famous French repub-
lican guard. who were stationed
about the hall.
General Pershing and Marshal
Foch were among the generals pres
ent, but it is sufficient to say en-
trance of a selected group of IS
common soldiers of the allied ar
mics attracted more attention and
comment than did that of the COM
manders whose names will be hand

ARE YOUR TAXES HEAVY7

Probably every reader of this paper
finds his taxes a bit higher than he
likes to pay. Thousands Of them have
been struggling for the last few weeks
to make out reports on income taxes
to the government and have found
that six per cent takes pretty heavy
slice out OF what was left over on New
Years day, Many of you had to Dor
row money to pay the taxes.
But this tax is nothing to what all
OF us will have to pay II the Victory
Loan fails to go over. Uncle Sans
war bills must be paid. He prefers tn
borrow the money from us and pay us
back later on.
| But If he can't borrow 1t, he must
take it-in form of taxes.
It's like the difference between rent
ing house for ten years or buying il
on the installment plan. In one case
you wind up with thick bundle OF
rent receipts. In the other. you have

OLD RULE IN GERMANY
Country Still in the Clutches of
Bureaucrats.
Or. AIonzo (. Taylor Finds Looting
Common and Immoral Plays
Thriving.

Paris.-"The German government Is
the same bureaucratic regime OF the
kaiser's day, with the same attitude
toward labor and capital, and does not
represent the forces which caused the
revolution" says DIR. Alonzo f. Tay-
lor. food specialist, who has just re-
turned from Germany. He made ex-
tensiye investigations in behalf of the
supreme food relief council.
Count Won Bernstorff is In charge
of American affairs and the foreign
office and the bureaucrats of the old
school are in evidence everywhere"
he added. "The Germans are becom-
ing Russianized. They are afraid to
put untried men into the service. and
consequently they tolerate the old or
der of things"
The German army has apparently
been disorganized and demobilized for
the most part, Doctor Taylor says, but
he believes it will be possible for
well-organized bureaucracy to restore
militarism If it is deemed desirable.
Many Germans believe they will re-
cover their battleships, and do not
expect to give up any territory, and in
Doctor Taylor's opinion a grave, po-
litical upheaval is probable with the
signing of the treaty of peace.
The present lull is regarded as un-
natural by Doctor Taylor, who says II
was possibly created by the payment
of large indemnities to unemployed
persons and by suspending action on
all questions vital to the future of the
nation. Unemployed men in Berlin are
paid eight marks day, while railway
workers and street cleaners get six
marks daily. Consequently, the men
prefer to remain idle.
Plays so immoral that they would
have been prohibited under the impe-
rial regime are now tolerated; thiev-
ing is prevalent; footing is common
and the general public morale is very
low, Doctor Taylor remarks. He says
the food situation is critical and in
spite of the great reduction made in
rations. the nation cannot live until
next harvest unless supplied by out
side powers.

The use of tobacco was first discoy-
cred in America when Columbus, in

the island of Cuba. 1t was first OBJ
served that these herbs were burned
and carried by the natives to perfume
themselves. 1t was later discovered
that these herbs were also used for
chewing, and later as America was
opened up and explored, it was observ-
ed that they were smoked in large
quantities.

Hickory, oak, beech, birch, hard ma
pie. ash, elm, locust, long-leaf pine and
cherry have fairly high heat values,
and only one cord of seasoned wood
of those species is required to equal
one ton of coal. Hickory, of the nom
resinous woods. has the highest fuel
value per unit volume of wood and
has other advantages. 1t burns evenly
and, as housewives say, holds the heat.

Little Things That Count.

The sunshine of life is made up q

these are the ways in which clouds
