The Army Train Failed to Appear.

Butler folks were disappointed
Monday afternoon when the army re-
cruiting train that was billed to be
here at that time failed to put in its
appearance. The army authorities
had notified Postmaster Williams
that several truck loads of soldiers
and a band of 81 pieces would give
some sort of a program here on that
date. Telephone messages to near by
towns failed to elicit the faintest in
formation as to the failure to appear
and nothing has since been heard
from them. The Warrensburg pa
pers say that they were scheduled to
be in that city last Saturday, but
failed to show up on account of mud
dy roads near Topeka Kansas, so
that it is not known whether or not
the trip has been given up.

 In his talks afterwards with league supporters, the president was said to nave discussed at length, the Shan tung and Irish questions. He was quoted as saying he was not sats- lied with the treaty provision giving Shantung to Japan, but as declaring there was an informal understanding among the peace delegates that eventually Japan must make an acceptable agreement with China in the matter. He was represented as expressing confidence that Japan would deal rightly in the final settle mGnt.
 Irelard's Friends Err.
 Discussing the failure of the peace conference to receive the represen- tatives of 1rish-American organiza- tions on behalf of Irish freedom, Mir. Wilson was said to have told senators that the representatives had so iden- tified themselves with the revolution ary element in Ireland that it became impossible to receive them. He was quoted as saying that both he and David Lloyd George the British pre- mier had been anxious to arrange for q hearing.
 The decision not to bind Germany to definite indemnity, the president was reported to have said, was reach cd over his protest. He was quoted as saying he consented to the inde- terminate plan to help Premier Lloyd George over domestic obstacles. It was said the question of Plume was not mentioned.
 In talking to the senators, the president was said to have taken a firm stand against any reservations in the scnate's ratification of the treaty. It was asserted he would not be disposed kindly even toward re scTvations to make the senate's posi- ton clear, pointing out that there always might be doubt as to whether any particular reservation really were innocuous or would vitiate some league principle.
