WAR CREDIT is GRANTED
TO RETURNING SOLDIERS

War credit" for army service will
be awarded to University of Wisconsin
students who left their studies to enter
the army and, upon their discharge re-.
turn to continue their courses. This
action, which was taken by the faculty
last week and is primarily for men who
left college at such a time as not to re-
ceive such war credit as was granted
to students leaving TO enter military
service, includes the following provis-
ions:
Seniors in good standing who en-
tered military service after Com
mencement, 1913, and subsequently re-
turn, may be granted a quarters credit
toward graduation. Other students
who entered service since June will re-
ceive equitable credit, not exceeding the
amount they were carrying at the
time of departure. Students who left
before Commencement in most cases
received credit at the time Of de-
parture.
For men who attended officers train
ing courses or schools and passed the
course. whether or not they were regis
tered in the university at the time of
enlistment. may receive credit toward
graduation, propOrtiOnate to the char
acter of the courses taken in officers
schools.
Special cases not included in these
groups will be considered separately.
This is especially true in the profess
sional colleges where war credit can
not take the place of certain required
courses.

American ENJOYS Receive Pro-
poSaIs for Organizing
League of Nations.
EACH PLAN HAS Merit
Number of Outlines Contain Sections
Which Are Directly at Variance
With Ideas Forming Basis
OF Other Plans.

Paris, Jan. 15.-The conference of
President Wilson with Premier Lloyd
George, Andrew Bonar Law and A. J.
Balfour gave opportunity for a most
satisfactory exchange of views on the
subjects coming up for settlement by
the supreme war council.
The hope is expressed that this will
result in giving greater speed to the
work of both the supreme war council
and the inter-Allied peace conference.
One of the questions to be discussed
is the official language to be used dur
ing the sessions. 1t appears also that
the question of representation has not
been entirely solved and this matter
will come up for further discussion.
May Not Talk French.
1t is said that the supposition that
the French language has been decided
on as the only tongue to be used in
the conference is at least premature.
The opening session of Parliament
and the cabinet meeting took the at
tentiOn of Premier Clemenceau and
his collaborators SO that little Oppor-
tunity was afforded for a further con-
terence with the French statesmen.
1t is not thought there will be any
difficulty in settling the questions of
language, procedure and representa-
ton, though IN view of the number of
nations represented land their varying
interests the question of representa-
xut,o
discussion.
Forty Plans Before Delegates.
Nearly 40 different plans for
league Of nations are now before the
American delegates. Each has points
Of merit, but many contain sections di-
rectly at variance with the ideas form
ing the basis of the other schemes.
In order that the inter-Allied con-
ference may benefit by all this matter
1t is to be laid before a commission
created for the purpose; it is even
probable that it may be submitted
separately to each delegation, in order
to hasten a conclusion
So far as they have expressed them
selves, the Americans, at a paihstak-
ing meeting which is still in session,
lind nothing which endangers any
American ideals, such as the Monroe
Doctrine, for instance
One point upon which the Ameri-
cans will insist, it is understood, is
that whatever project is adopted it
shall be included in the treaty which
officially terminates the world war.

tional direction. 1t was evident that
the campaign for the sale of these
smaller securities had been sort OF
hit or miss affair, good, bad, or indif
ferent, depending on the efficiency and
enthusiasm of local organizations.
Several months ago it was decided to
put the sales organization Of War
Savings Stamps in the hands of l..
B. Franklin, national director Of four
successful Liberty Loan drives. His
official title thereupon became Direct
or of the War Loan Organization and
he was given national charge of the
placing of the forms of Government
securities mentioned above.
The Treasury Department delegated
to each Of the twelve governors OF
the Federal aeresrve banks the re.
sponsibility of building and putting in.
to working order the necessary ma.
chinery for the sale of all Government
securities in his district. The method
of appointing these forces and of or
ganizing them most efficiently was
left to the judgment of each bank gov.
ernor
Governor Theodore Void of the
Ninth Federal Reserve District has in
turn delegated the work of organizing
and directing the Government securi
ties sales forces to the Central Com
mittee of the Ninth District of which
A. r. Rogers of Minneapolis is the
executive head. This is the committee
which has been so eminently sue
cessful during the last three Liberty
Loan drives and has placed the Ninth
leadership.
Two Distinct Organizations.
Mr.. Rogers announces that the old
Liberty Loan organization, including
state, district, county and local chair
men and workers which numbers
nearly 10000 individuals will be kept
intact to prepare and carry through
the Fifth Liberty Loan drive which
will be made some time in April. Dis
tinct from this organization, yet a
part of it as far as district direction
is concerned will be the old War Saw
ings Stamp state organizations OF
Montana, Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Northern Wisconsin
and Northern Michigan. These state
organizations will also be kept intact
as far as possible and will form the
nucleus of the Government Savings
Stamp Division of the Ninth District
War Loan Organization.
The personnel of the Ninth District
War Loan Organization that will have
supervision over the sale of these
Government securities during 1919 ie
as follows:
A. r. Rogers, Chairman Central
Committee; Homer P. Clark, Vice
Chairman Central Committee; Benz.
s. Bull, Director of Publicity; Joseph
Chapman, Director of Speakers Blu

ton will endeavor to help the people
on the firing line. We will do every
thing we possibly can to show them
the necessity for loaning money to
their Government and to help convert
those who do not understand.
1.-THE great mass of people have
never fully realized the Importance
and the value to individuals and to
good Government Of buying Savings
Stamps. Owing largely to the fact
that the Liberty Loan drives have oc-
cupied the center Of the stage the
smaller securities have seemed some
what trivial. This has never been the
right attitude and it is more import
ant now than ever before that we
should change our view point. The
fact that Government Savings Stamps
can be and are purchased by many
thousands of people who are not able
to buy Liberty Bonds makes this form
of security of untold value to the Gov
eminent. Right now the Government
needs large amounts Of cash for the
payment of debts and the advantage
GUS settling of war contracts. The
proceeds .of the Fourth Liberty Loan
Bonds have been spent. A large pur
chase Of Savings Stamps at this time
will give the Government the money
it needs and will do much toward
making certain permanent peace and
prosperity in this and other countries
of the world.
"a complete and progressive cam
paign of education and for the sale OF
War Savings Stamps now and Liberty
Bonds later is being worked out by
the Central Committee. Details will
be given members of the organization
as soon as possible and we know that
with the help of the splendid army OF
loyal Americans that have made the
Ninth District respected during the
war, we will continue to lead the
forces Of freedom"

METZ A CITY OF GREAT INTEREST TO AMERICA
(Literary Digest.)

Since the great battle that wiped out the St Mihiel salient in the beginning of September, the citadels and spires of Metz have lain plain before the eyes of the American guns. As it happens, it is with a peculiar appropriateness that Metz is made the objective of the American armies.
 Toward the close of the year 1776, the Duke of Cumberland, who was the brother of King George ILL of England was travelling in France, and one day he arrived at the town of Metz, then a French possession. A certain Count De Broglie, a veteran of many battles was in command of the garrison, and to do honor to his distinguished visitor he invited some of his officers to meet him at dinner. Now it happened that the Duke of Cumberland was in dis favor with his royal brother-he was, in fact, in punishment. He had lately received news that certain of his majesty's colonies in America had re- belled and declared themselves free. declining to be subject any longer to a tyrannical king. It would seem that the Duke of Cumberland told the story with some gusto, as if he were not all together sorry that his brother was in trouble.
 One officer listened with particular attention. He was a youth of 19. tall and thin. with a long nose and reddish hair. His solemn expression and his somewhat awkward manner contrasted strongly with the frivolous ease and grace of the other young officers pres

Mrs. Tom Davenport. president Of the Arizona Chudren's Home at Tue son. was a visitor in Phoenix vCster- day on behalf of the children's work in the state. While here she also finished the cases of some children who were wards ot the California Children's Society.
 The organization which Mrs. Daven- port heads is practically the only insti- tutiOn of its kind iu the state. lt takes care of orphans and neglected and dependent children. and one of the most important phases of it's work Is finding homes for these Waifs. The report of the home for last year shows that 2l children were placed in homes by the association.
 The home and its association has TOW been iu existence five years. During that time said Mrs. Daven- port. "it has never committed a child to Che state reform school. as has been reported. and has never refused 10 take child turned over Go it by coun- tv or state authorities"
 Mrs. Davenport added that if any orphaned or dependent children had been committed Co the reform school V had been done throuch the error ul the courts. The Chldrcns Home at Tucson. in addition to it's private work for the children of the state, also takes care Of county and state charges that arc turned over Co it. It does not receive aid from the state.
 At present. Mrs. Davenport said. the home has six children waiting for homes They range in age from two and % half Co ll years. The 24 children given homes last year ranged in age from one week to 11 years.
 The Rev. F. D. Raley Of Phoenix. was formerly superintendent for the home. having charge Of all its field work. He was released last July to enter the army Y. M. C. X. service Mrs. Davenport announced yesterday t5lc association will now obtain a trained worker to take charge of it's work throughout the state. including placing the children in private homes and soliciting funds.
 Last year." said Mrs. Davenport. "in war time. we took care of from 'l tO 35 children. more than We have ever cared for in peace time. without making one appeal for funds. and ai Inc end of the year our financial stand ing was in very good condition"
 The Children's Home and it's work arc supported by private donations and by fees received for caring for
 ourt wards.
