it was explained. was because of the
meeting of the National Association,
which was held in New York last
week.

Upper End Statesmen
Have Flights From Gratz

Gratx. Pa. May Z. - Two we'll
known citizens of the Upper End, Roy
Blaming, merchant, of Williamstown,
and Samuel Hoff, son of Postmaster
Hof. of Lykens, were rewarded with
airplane rides here yesterday after
noon as result of their Liberty Bond
sales, which ran very large. The big
Army plane landed on the farm of
John Schminkey, just south of the fair
grounds, and the winners of the bond
contest were taken for fifteen minute
rides each over the mountains and the
valley. Just as the flights were about
to take place the shifts changed at
the mines and the miners crowded the
field. greatly enjoying the sport.
This trip was arranged to start
from Gratz. due to the inability of
the aviator to land near Lykens,
Wiconisco or GratZ, on account of un-
favorable air currents. and a number
of other bond statesmen from that
district would have been taken for
rides had not the aviator punctured
a tire while alighting from his second
night.

WAR BY AUGUST
Secretary of War Baker So
Announces at WASH
ington Today

Washington, May 7.-Secretary
Baker announced to-day that by
August the last man of the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces will have
been withdrawn from France. He
said this estimate was based on the
movement of 100000 men a month
to the United States.
Already, Mr.. Baker said, the
American forces in France have
been divorced from the Army of Oc-
cupation. Plans have been COM
pleted to supply the force in Ger
many through the ports of Antwerp
and Rotterdam, removing the ne
cessity for maintaining the 700
mile line of communication from
Brest.
The French ports will be main
tanned, however, for the withdrawal
of the American EXpeditionary
Forces.

The splendid young bodies we loved Here they come
Secure in their welcome. our boys marching home!
Aye cheer them and greet them and give them the most

But what flags and our pennants to this
The sob-stifed welcome of Mothers first kiss?
Show them we're proud of record so clean,
Proud of each wound stripe and what it shall mean;
Then reverence their soul-weary hunger for kin
AS home doors and home arms shall gather them in

No maudlin sentiment this that feel
But the grip of the hand means the grip of the heart

strangling competitor of the nations
about her which she overran and de-
vastated during the war.
Thus, for instance. Germany for
a period of years, at least, will be
deprived of the coal output of the
rich Sarre basin, which goes to
France in repayment of the damage
caused by the destruction of the
French coal mines. She likewise is
compelled to make restitution for the
damage in other ways done to
France. Belgium and the various
other countries which suffered from
Teutonic depredations in various
forms. In numerous other ways she
is made to realize that her more than
four years career of destruction must
be made good.
There has been much discussion
of the question whether the German
delegates would sign the peace treaty.
The Germans at first proposed to
send messengers to Versailles to take
the treaty to Berlin, but they were
made to understand that delegates
with power to sign the terms of peace
must be sent, and this was done.
Furthermore, the Germans will be
allowed only a definitely fixed time
within which to sign the treaty.
ItaiS delegates on Road
Allied representation at the cere-
monial to-day was made complete by
the arrival in Paris this morning OF
Nittorio Orlando, the Italian prem
ier, and Baron Sonnino, the foreign
minister, who it had been feared for
time would not be present because
of the tangle over the Adriatic ques-
ton. The Italians, however, indi-
Gated that they thought it necessary
that a solid Allied front be presented
to the Germans, and their delegates
returned from Rome despite the in
complete state of the Adriatic ne
gotiations. which, however. they
might effect the settlement with
Austria Hungary, do not figure in
the making of the peace with Ger
many.
The day likewise found the rep
resentatives of Japan aligned square
ly with the other powers, any COM
plications that might have been
threatened over the question of Kiao-
chau and the wording of the League
of Nations covenant having been
smoothed over.
