Italy Was Represented AT The Final Session
By Signor Crespi Who Made Reservation
On Acceptance
SESSION WAS SAID TO BE SECRET
CAPT TARDIEU EXPLAINS TREATY
Marshal FOch Declares the Security Given France Is
Inadequate and Brdgeheads
Should Be Held

PARIS, May THE plenary Peace
Conference has completed it's work so
far as Germany is concerned, and at
secret plenary session communicat-
ed the terms of the Peace Treaty to
all powers represented at the Confer
ence. This was the last act before de-
livery of the treaty to the Germans
at Versailles today.
The session was held in the For
eign Office, with the same setting
and distinguished personnel as at
previous public sessions, except in
the case of Italy, which was repre-
sentcd by DR.. Silvio Crespi, the for
mcr Food Administrator, pending the
arrival of Premier Orlando and For
eign Minister Sonnio today.
M. Clemenceau presided, with
President Wilson at his right and
Premier Lloyd George at his left, with
the entire membership of the confer
ence grouped around the table.
Enormous throngs surrounded the
Foreign Office watching the arrival
of the delegates. Those who assem-
bled within the building included
Marshal Foch and the British Vice
Admiral, Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, with
their staffs.
While the session was secret one,
it is understood that Captain Andre
Tardieu, representing France, ex-
planned the provisions of the docu-
ment and was questioned from time
to time, the explanations given being
full and free.
Marshal Foch in a speech at the
plenary session declared that the
security given France was inadequate
from a military point of view and
said it was his personal conviction
that the treaty should not be signed.
The marshal emphasized the neces-
sity of France holding the bridge
heads along the Rhine and said that
occupation limited to Is years was
not sufficient.
Italy was represented at the ses-
sion by Signor Cresp. The Italian
spokesman said he desired to make
reservations concerning any provi-
sions in the treaty not acceptable to
Italy.
The Chinese delegates presented a
brief, formal and dignified protest
concerning the disposition of Kiau-
chau. Lu Cheng- Hsiang, the Chinese
Foreign Minister, asked for recon
sideration of the decision regarding
Shantung and Kiauchau.
The Chinese Foreign Minister said
that in the opinion of the Chinese
delegation the decision had been
made without regard for justice OF
for the protection of the territorial
integrity of China. He said that if
reconsideration was impossible he
desired to make reservations on
behalf of China.
The Portuguese delegates ex-
pressed dissatisfaction regarding the
treatment accorded Portugal.
The protestations made by the va
rious delegations are not regarded

Peace Treaty COMPLETED and Ready for Germans Today
SMALL HOPE THAT
N. E. MAKES LOAN

New England's patriotism is
to be put to the acid test in the
next four days, all the time
which now remains for her to
bring the total subscriptions of
this district to the Victory Lib
erty Loan up to the $375,000,000
essential to the rounding out of
her allotted quota.
At no time during the course
of the five Liberty Loans which
have been hoated during the past
two years has the situation ap-
peared so desperate, for the Off
cial tabulation yesterday showed
that New England, with 13 out
of the 1 8working days of the
current drive already past, had
subscribed only 52.6 per cent of
her quota.

You may think it lost forever,
But as sure as God is true in thi

Of weeks or Pentecost. The name de-
rives from the fact that the festival
falls seven weeks or fifty days after
the beginning of the Passover festival.
And just after the Passover festival is
THE precursor of Easter. so the feast
of weeks is the prototype of the Chris
tian feast of T'entecost which falls fiji
ty days after Easter. While the feast
OF weeks was in Biblical times an ag-
ricultural festival to celebrate the
gathering of the wheat harvest and of
the first fruits, later tradition makes
it the anniversary of the giving of the
Ten Commandments and the Law on
Mt. Sinai Thus in the modern syna-
gogue the ancient harvest festival
has taken on a historical character
which gives it its greatest significance
in the ritual.

historical feature which commeror-
ates the dedication of the ancient
Israelites to the faith in one God and
to the highest morality. have intro

WAR LABOR BOARD on
INCREASED RATES
Ex-President Taft's Committee
to Railroad Commissioners of
North Carolina.

The joint chairman of the national
war labor board have told the railroad
commissioners of South Carolina and
the city authorities of Charleston that
a careful investigation made by de-
partments of the federal government
shows that the five-cent fare of 1915,
is about equivalent TO a seven cent
fare today
This stateemnt is important, not be-
cause it reveals something not before
known to the industry, but because
it is an official governmental decla-
ration Of the decreased purchasing
power of the nickel fare, as it has been
affected by the war.
IT substantiates what President
Stanley said in his address to the
conference on November 1, namely,
that a ten-cent fare would be re-
auired to place the fare of today
on a parity with the five-cent fare
Of 1895
Ia discloses the reason for the
present unfortunate situation of the
electric railways.
1t removes, If not the legal, at least
the moral, objection to the abroga-
ton of fare stipulations in franchises
and agreements. since it is apparent
that the companies are not receiving
a fare which in purchasing power
is the equivalent to the fare for which
they agreed to furnish service.
1t is in fact, of itself, a sufficient
reason for the fare increases which
the companies are seeking.
And it shows the folly of attempt
ing to fix. for all time, and under
all circumstances. a rate of fare at
which street railway service shall be
furnished.
