SHAW BACKS WILSON.

Following the publication of the peace treaty the radical socialist publicists, not only in Europe but also in America assailed Presi dent Wilson charging him with weakly yield ing to the European diplomats and agreeing to an unjust treaty. One socialist publication published an article under the head of "A Tragic Failure" relative to President Wil- sons part in the conference.
 This article came to the notice of George Bernard Shaw, Englands noted author and dramatist, who admopished the magazine ed itor as follows:
 Be careful about Wilson, There is case against Wilson, but it is the case of Tom Paine against Washington; and I think you will admit, i'll the perspective of history, that Paine got his values wrong. Wilson has had an impossible task; and years will elapse be- fore his success or failure can be estimated Even those behind the scenes, who alone know the understandings by which the parties have squared each other, cannot place him as we can now place Washington or Lincoln What is certain is that he succeeded in making himself the spokesman of the right side when he entered the field, and backed him accord ingly and shall continue to do so until find a better man to back Don't raise an alarm of damp sheets when there is fire to put out" 7"

the resources of the territory. From what one sees of the people of Alaska, one can easily believe them now capable of attending to their own affairs, not only from the mere standpoint of law, order and personal profit, but as trustees for the generations of Ameri- cans to come They are too intelligent, te interested in the future of the territory, too alive to the permanent self-interest of their own families settled in the land to allow those resources to be wastefully expended. On the other hand, they have the capacity and knowl- edge needed to develop them so that the peo- pie of the whole United States might profit much more largely from this great storehouse of plenty.
 The old Roman poet, Virgil, tells of how the homeless wanderers from ancient Troy finally landing in Italy, could not resist the lure of the land, its beautifully tinted sea and snow-capped mountains, and so settled there on forever. Thus, in similar fashion, the passing traveller feels the lure of this land of Alaska. The impressions of beauty and of power that are made upon him must be lasting and the spell cast over him by the mountains and the sea and the charm of the highly hospitabe and home-loving people who inhabit it, is something not to be forgotten.

WILSON VISIT TO
ITALY GREATEST
TRIUMPH Of TRIP
Lawrence Says President Has
Captured Entire Nation and
Italians Are SOIidIy Behind
His Ideas for Peace.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
The News sclmitar's Special Core
spondent.

TURIN, Italy, Jan. S.-President Will
son has unquestionably captured Italy.
His trip to Rome, Genoa, Milan and
Turin has been the most remarkable
so many people gather to do him
homage. In Milan especially no less
than $780, 900 persons were C~ongregated
in the public square when he appeared
on a balcony, The way in which to
give Americans an idea of the i'm,
have filled the Yale bowl, the great
stadium at New Haven, where the
football games take place, The streets
for blocks back were filled with a
yelling multitude, shouting "Vive Will
SON."
The significance of these outpourings
is appreciated by Mr., Wilson as well
as by the Italian leaders. 1t is in
dubitable proof that the public opinion
Of Italy is solidly behind the Wilson
PRINCIPLES, as placards, posters and
handbins everywhere show. In North
ern Italy especially there has been ire
mendous enthusiasm, the president
meeting the mayors of many towns
and mingling with the people gen.
orally.
The crowds have waited for hours
to catch a glimpse Of him and have
then burst into the widest cheering.
Mr.. Wilson's speech at Milan is re-
garded as most significant from the
European point of view because of
the emphasis given to the opinion OF
the working masses.
Took Right Course.
Milan is an industrial center, SO that
Mr., Wilson said the right thing in
appealing to-sthe millions ,~thereabouts,
but the effect of the speech will be
probably felt equally in other countries.
The part that raised the greatest en-
thusiasm was when he president said:
u am as keenly aware, ! believe, sir,
as anybody can be, that the social
structure rests upon the great working
classes of the world, and that those
working classes in several countries of
the world have by their consciousness
of community of interest, by their con-
seriousness of community Of spirit, done
perhaps more than any other influ-
ence has to establish a world opinion
which is not of a nation, which is
not of a continent, but is the opinion,
one might say, of mankind
When he declared those of us now
charged with the very great and seri-
Gus responsibility of concluding peace
must think and confer in the presence
of this opinion" Mr.. Wilson said what
extreme conservatives have been fear
ing he might express during his Euro
everywhere, but Mr.. Wilson's purpose
Is never to excite Bolshevism. Rather
it is his idea that the drift of the
times in that direction would best be
curbed by taking into account the le-
climate portions of such aspiration.
Indeed. the president believes that a
lust peace and prevention of further
wal would be the best course that
could be devised to check the present
tendency toward Bolshevism.

Since the experiment is complete. this
stock is being disposed OF to clear the
barns for a new experiment on bigger
and broader lines, As a result OF the
several years breeding for the ideal
Mississippi mule. Mr.. Gayle
that 1t has been definitely found that
to secure the right size and type OF
mule bigger mares must be used, as
the understood, 800 to 1000 pound
mares OF indlscriminate breeding, even
when mated to the best jacks, produce
scrubby, underaized mules of about the
size and conformation Of the dam.
When, however, these small mares are
mated to pure-bred draft stations
weighing from 200 to 1000 pounds,
grade mares, weighing from 1900 TO
1900 pounds, mated with good Jacks.

to 1000 pounds, standing Is hands high
and capable OF handling improved farm
machinery. Such mules are how
selling at from $500 to $500 a pair.
The extreme Importance Of the state
breeding its own mules Is urged by
Mr.. GAYLE, who points out that 70 per
cent OF the mules at work IN Missis-
sippi were raised and bought outside
the state. To buy and bring these In
costs more money than the combined
investment in the states dairy cattle,
beef cattle. sheep and hogs.
Outlines Experiments.
The new experiments TO he under
taken were briefly outlined by Mr..
Gale as follows:
Horse. ass and mule-hreedlng pro
iect, under Adams act. The object OF
the project is to study horse, ass and
mule breeding.
81. To study hereditary traits in pure
line or isolated strains or pure-bred
horses and asses,
"2. To study certain hereditary char
acterlstics with reference to their be-
havior as unit character on horses,
asses and mules.

safety valve for radical influences, but
while they are rallying around him
together with all political factions in
Italy it would appear that the Wilson
program forms a safe anchorage for
conservatives, who would be able TO
point constantly to Wilson principles as
a limit.
The presidents trip to Italy has been
a huge success, however, not merely
because of the tremendous support of
the populace, but because Of the cor
dial understanding reached with the
Italian government and statesmen. The
king made a deep impression upon all
who saw him as most democratic, and
the whole appearance of Italy was one
Of freedom and liberty, resembling
more a republic thar a monarchy,
The president. while preserving his
dignity at all times, nevertheless made
a great hit by adopting Italian GUS
toms for the moment, throwing kisses
to the crowd even and on one occasion
leading the band in the Italian ma
tional anthem in sight of an immense
multitude.
Italian Immediately after delivery,
evoked outbursts OF applause. The
newspapers everywhere filled pages
with descriptions of Mr.. Wilson's life
and principles.
Briefly, nothing has happened in the
relations of italy and America in the
past that has afforded greater oppor-
tunity to the two peoples of being
brought into close contact, and ire
spective Of her influence at the peace
tables. where the friendship of Italy
may prove vital, it may be said that
the spirit Of affection for America man
ifested by the Italians is a wonderful
example Of how deep are the friend
ships America has made in Europe
during the war.
