carried II club, and with this he aimed
a blow at Billy's head. AS Billy lodged
the raggedy figure grabbed the box in
which Billy was carrying their picnic

"Ha, ha, ha - laughed the ragged

KNOWLEDGE

Youth knows it all. Life's problems are
So plain to him he smiles to see
His elders wander off so far
From truth and simple verify.
Religion, science, business, art
To think them deep is Ages whim.
Youth simply takes the things apart
They're simple processes to him.
And then the scissors Of the years
Clip off his knowledge bit by bit,
His confidence is turned to tears,
And all awry his pretty wit
All, do not think men wiser grow
With added years! The years appall!
There's nothing left for Age to know!
Youth has it all! Youth knows it ALI

PRICE OF. PEACE
REVEALS SECRETS
Treasury Presents Film OF
Events in Great Conflict
Showing What Victory Lib
erty Loan Bonds Pay For.

Secrets OF the war recorded by the
notion picture camera and only nov
released by tho censors are revealed
in Tho Price Of Pace" an official film
issued IN behalf Of the Victory Liberty
Loan, and being shown all over tho
country.
"Ths Price Of Peace" Is the only
official picture ever assembled which
purports to cover the war from the
day It was declared down to date.
The purpose OF the picture az an
nounced by the Department OF the
Treasury through Frank r. Wilson,
director Of publicity, is to put before
the public graphic accounting and to
make clear why there Is now Vic
tory Liberty Loan. =. g..
The picture opens with a.scene in
President Wilson's Office and refer
ence TO that momentous April 6, when
war was declared. It concludes with
q remarkable view Of the Statue OF
Liberty, in New York harbor, and the
homecoming OF our army.
: But there Is vast deal between,
including the embarkation OF troops,
their landing in France, fnal training
over there, then the desperate reali'
ties OF the front line trnchs, gas at
tacks, army railroading under nre, the
great attack from Solssons to Chateau
Theirry, infantry and artillery under
heavy bombardme1t, battle between
aeroplanes, and the downing OF an
enemy afrman, the observation bal
looms under hre, then the battle dead,
the prisoners, captured guns, our
troops marching over the Rhine into
Germany, General Pershing and his
men In Prussia. Christmas with the
Army OF Occupation In Germany, and
the Homecoming.
Probably the greatest thrill OF the
picture Is in the scenes where our
troops are seen going "over the top
and into the wheatfelds at 4:S5 O'Clock
on that famous July IS, 1913. There
is q dim, misty light, that gives these
scenes q peculiar intensity. Other
scenes Of desperate fighting show an
American battery under heavy ire
from enemy guns in the Arsonns. In
vet other scenes American soldiers
are shown bravely advancing under
shfapnel IRE across an open glade.
Two are shot down near the camera.
The activities of the American navy
furnish another important chapter OF
the picture. A number OF impressive
sceces show tho German fleet steam.

By far the greater percentage OF
transportation was by autos or

lived or had their business close to
the place where ice could be pur-
chased, if they lacked other car
riages, hoofed il and bent lovingly
over their chunks of ice as they
went down the side walk.

for by coupon tickets.
Mayor SchriVer InterVeneS.
At the end of the speeches from
both sides, Mayor Schriver address
ed the two factions and told them
in general terms that the only
thing to do was arbitrate
He pleaded with Kellog to send the
men back to work, saying that suf-
fering had already been caused to
certain children and patients as a
result of the ice shortage.
Finally both sides gave verbal
consent to arbitration, and the
union men left the room for a few
moments, while the dealers con-
ferred in another quarter
Upon return, it was agreed by
both parties that arbitration be used
as the means of settling the ques-
ton. Some discomfort was ex-
pressed by the employees az giving
the dealers 4S hours in which to
name their arbitrator as it was
feared they would have time to
frame up" on matters affecting the
increase in pay.
Mayor Schriver finally persuaded
the men to agree to 4S hours. Aft
er the agreement they left and
pledged to return to work in the
morning.
kellogg Firm Today.
William kellogg was back in the
harness today, talking to the men
as they delivered ice.
He said that the men are now
firm on $26 and $2S a week
The only reason the men are
back at work today" he said, els
because they were asked to for the
public. AS far as they themselves
are concerned they are in favor of
striking until the dealers grant the
increase
When asked whether or not he
intended to demand the increase as
n member of the arbitration board,
he asserted that he had been chos-
en- as arbitrator for the union men
and would demand the wage de-
sired. If he cannot get the $28 for
the entire year he will demand it
for the months of June. July and
during which period the
men are forced to work many
hours each day.

Mr.. kellogg took the floor to an
swer the statements OF the dealers.
In his words he was not very elo-
auent, and faltered bit in express
sion, but he had his ideas and I'm
ally put them before the commits
sion.
He said that he was willing to
arbftrate the question and had told
the employers so on Tuesday. He
claimed that they refused to attend
the conference of the union men
and that the men decided there was
no way Of getting action except in
striking.
lie also accused Mr.. Huesing of
breaking the article of the contract
which provided that employees of
the ice companies shall be union
men or shall be brought into the
union after Is days work

fused to sell him ice for cash when
he ueaied fl for his family. He
said t,ot Re offered the money and

The most severely wounded men were
at the end of the line-some who were
out Of tn hospital for the. first time
in eighteen months, some in wheeled
chairs, propelled by nurses. And
these last received just a little more
attention from their distinguished
hosts than those who were able to
march bravely down the line, unaided.
With the formal reception over and
the men gathered in picturesque
groups on the lawn, eating White
House ice cream and cake, and par
taking OF White House punch, for
most of them the real fun began
when the President. and Mrs. Wilson
threaded their way among them,
carefully stepping over crutches and
avoiding canes, but managed to stop
at each little group, and. give il a
few kindly words of welcome-and
when the President himself, seeing
that some OF, his guests were waiting

telling his mates that ne guessed that

And he wouldn't let them stand to
salute him. They tried. Each group
as he approached would try to scram-
BILE to its feet and receive the Com
mander-in-C Chief soldierwise. He would
have none of it, but with kindly ges-
places. Por nearly an hour he moved
among them, being a regular guy
and then he had to go in and take up
the business Of being President again.
But Mrs. Wilson stayed with them
a while longer, asking each one about
his home, admiring his trinkets, ask
ing about his eXperiences-beinga alto
gether the most perfect hostess and
the most gracious lady one would
want to meet. She won all their
hearts, and quite thawed any reserve,
or shyness, that may have held them

TricOlOr Once Flew
Over White House.

AS for the White House, per-
sonaIly have never seen the flag Of
any other nation than these United
But a man in the State Department
who is an authority on such matters
assures me that he knows on one
occasion the French flag was raised
there. He could not remember what
the occasion was-except that he was
perfectly sure that it was not on
Bastile Day, as the question of doing
il then had been raised and vetoed.
He promised to look il up for me.
There's a perfectly good second flag
pole there, which 1 have never seen
used except for a few days some
years age, when President Wilson
had the Presidents flag run up along
with the Stars and Stripes with the
idea of having "Old Glory there
every day in the year. and using the
Presidents personal flag to indicate
that the Chief Executive was in
| residence" instead of. as has been
the custom, only raising the national
flag over the building when the Presi-
dent was in the city. 1t seemed to
many a very good idea. but it raised
storm Of sarcastic criticism, on the
| President of a republic apinS royalty,
etc, and after a few days it was
taken dOwn-for repairs-and has
never since been raised.
Then again-how about the red vel
vet carpet? Is that going to be Un-
rolled down the steps and across the
pavement of every house, and every
| building that the royal visitor en-
ters? Or are his unwOnted feet 80
| learn the feel of the hard, cold flag
ging under them?
Naturally you can't prove it by me
but it is generally understood that

rolled up while il is still warm under
! their heels, lost some plebeian foot
