 lover in France they are writing a peace treaty to end this war" he continued We have champion there pleading that the constitution of Lea que of Nations. which will sub tstitute intelligence and arbitration for war, be included in it. This is not a partisan question in this country and rightly so. The most effective advo- cate of the League of Nations is ex- President Taft, whose speeches have been eloquent in its behalf. It is a question of making such arrangement that will unite the forces of intel1i- gence of mankind and substitute ar bitration for force in deciding inter national questions.
 Shall we have a League of Nations founded on secret covenants or a league in which every nation may be a member of a body formed for the purpose of bringing together the in i telligence of mankind on interna- tional disputes and thus ending war?''

BIG PENNY TO GO.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, March 21 - The big penny of Canada, for years the subject of mild controversy in the Dominion, is at last to be replaced by coin somewhat resembling the American cent in size and f1neness.
 The government announced, how ever, that the big cent would con- tinue in circulation, which is some what of a compromise as enemies of the giant penny wanted it melted out of existence. One of their chief ar guments was that a person carrying Is Canadian pennies soon became round-shouldered.

HOPE FOR PLAN
 THAT WILL END
 PLUME QUESTION
Want to Surmount Difficul ty in Way of Completion
 of Peace Work.

Paris Friday, March 21-CBy the Associated Press) Hope was ex- pressed tonight in Peace Conference circles that by the first of next week a plan would be presented which would surmount the difficulty in the way of completion of the Peace making work of the conference raised by the threat of Italy to withhold ap- proval of any Peace Treaty not defin- itely settling the Italian-JugO-S -Slav controversy. President Wilson has the whole question before him, and 1t Is from him that the plan upon wE&ch hope of a, satisfactory settle ment Is based is looked for.
 The action of the Italian delega- ton. taken as a. unit, amounting vir- tually to an ulttmatum directed to the Supreme Council, gave great concerr to the other delegations today. Al though the Supreme Council was Oc. cupied with a consideration of the Western PoItgh boundary, the pre-. miers. themselves, with Colonel E M. House, were engaged in trying tc find some solution to the very dif7. cult problem presented by the actior of the Italians.
 The Supreme Council is called upon indirectly, in deciding the issue. tc pass upon the validity Of secret treat les negotiated in London in 1915 some of which at least are held to be at variance with MT. Wilson's -four teen points," The council is also em- borrassed by the probable effect ot any decision it may make in tho Plume case upon Greek and French claims to the smyrna coast. and or Polish claims to Lemberg and Danzig
 It Is expected President Wilson vii present some plan of solution by Sun day One possible solution of tn, 1 problem now under consideration | that military experts of the Supreme Council who have discharged them selves of German war issues, shoull | at once consider the Italian claims under instructions to present a solu | ton in time to secure action upo1 them simultaneously with the dispO 1 sition of the German Peace treaty. One difficulty is the lack of a com I petent government in Austria witl which to negotiate. Another is tn distribution among the new state formerly part of Austria. of the prop 1 CT share of war indemnities whicl they must assume.

While riding in a closed automobile which the elder man was learning to operate, the car plunged over a 100 feet embankment, to the tracks of the Panhandle railroad.
 Although the auto turned over five times in it's descent, had its top ripped off by protruding rocks in the cliff and landed bottom side up, both occupants crawled from beneath the wreckage suffering only slight scratches

SOLDIERS WRITE
 MANY LETTERS
Nearly 22,0OO,OOO Sent from Bordeaux Alone in
 February.

Washington. March 22.--Since the American troops overseas have stopped fighting they have taken to letter-writing and remembering their friends at home with souvenirs from the battlefield in France. This was indicated today by a post office de- partment announcement that the amount of mail from the American expeditionary force had increased more than 20 per cent. since cessation of hOsuHties.
 The volume of souvenirs sent back to the United States by parcels post may be measured by the ton, the de- partnent asserted and they consist of all manner of odds and ends. Curios sent by the soldiers are shell cases, parts of rifles and reYoIyers, bayonets, uniform buttons and small fragments of demolished airpIanes.
 Captured German Helmets, how
 ever, are the most prized token. Near
 ly 5OO,O00 of these have come
 through the mail since the war began
 Postal requirements have been re. faxed so that they now can be sent
 unwrapped with only a shipping tag
 for the address.
 Soldiers who cannot obtain sou venirs to send to all their friends al home content themselves with writ ing letters. In February nearly 22,- 0O0,OO0 letters were sent from Bor- | deaux alone. Frequently twelve tc l fifteen letters a. day have been sent by a soldier, and one private estab- | lished a record by writing 80 in 3 single day.

 For one, I am willing to try the experiment" the senator concluded. T submit that whatever may be the efforts for peace in this behalf cannot be worse in their consequences than was the war.
 The danger is not yet over. So long as the Allied troops are in the field there may be no danger from tho German armies. But there Is an enemy looming up in the Far East which threatens to be even as de- structive to the civilization of the world as the German forces-that is the spirit of lawlessness which pre- vails among the Bolsheviki and in Germany and Austria, ever the com mon foe of our civilization. the com mon foe of all government and it be- hooves the United States and her Allies to take common counsel for the defense of humanity.
