IRWIN S. COBB PLEASED
AUDIENCE WITH LECTURE

A number of Ashland people went
down to 'Medford Wednesday eve
ming to hear the lecture by the not
ed humorist and war correspondent,
Irwin S. Cobb, who spoke in the Page
theatre. This great writer had re-
Gently returned from the war front
and his address dealt with the stu
alton as he knew 1t first-handed. In
his lecture in Medford he uttered the
best praise to the American soldier,
bolstering up his premises by his
personal observation during several
battles on the western front. He
also paid especial tribute to the ne
gro soldiers and their fighting quail
ties.
The speaker did not waste much
maudlin sentiment over the fallen
foe, and expressed hope that in view
Of Germanys violating all the rules
of civilized warfare and of the atroci-
tics she committed to defenseless
women and children, that these
things would be kept in mind in
drawing up peace terms to properly
punish German people.
In regarding Germany's plea for
food Mr.. Cobb said he hoped not one
ounce of food stuff would be sent to
Germany until every baby in France
and Belgium was abundantly sup
piled. He richly scored sentimental
lists who advocated ultra-compassion-
ate treatment to the foe by the vic
tors.
Mr.. Cobb left on the late train
that night for the south where he
was scheduled to speak.

mits. This building is an old land

WILSON ON PEACE

PARIS, April 3-It is stated here that the recent serious development ill Germany and Austria will make it practically certain that the Peace Conference will have to decide on some positive action in the near flu ture.
 The alarming spread of Bolshevik- ism among the people of Germany and Austria, coupled with the feeble ness of the present governments of these countries who seem to be en- tirely unable to prevent the spread of this doctrine and restore tram quility may force the Allied gorern- ments to prevent undue delay in the Peace negotiations to set a time limit in which the latter may be concluded
 President Wilson is exerting con siderable pressure for complete pub licity of the progess made at the Peace Conference so people can judge whom to blame for unduly delaying the negotiations.
