'Belleau woods was not won by

Lieutenant Fellows Wounded.
One OF the most important victories
of the marines was the battle of MA
chine Gun Hill"
1t was. in this battle that First
Lieut.. James H. Fellows, Of 5114 Wis
consin avenue, northwest, was wound
ed three times while leading his men
in attack.
When asked about the fight, Lieu
tenant Fellows said: Machine Gun
Hill was veritable hell, which you
can readily see when tell you it was
the most hard-fought-for spot in the
whole of Belieau Woods. Machine
Gun Hill, which was only about 100
feet high, contained more machine
guns than most of the well-defended
places, the reason for its name. There
were more than 400 boches intrenched
behind more than sixty machine guns
on the hill; and, when you consider
it's size. this was surely a well-garri-
soned place.
Machine Gun Hill is situated in
the heart of Belleau Wood, and today
lies a mass Of shell holes and wrecked
foliage.

AT the zero hour on June 18th,

I'm this one battle there was more

than was used in the whole civil

'If the question of education mad

avoided the rocks OF Eolshevism by

The problems of peace will be as
great, even greater possibly. than the
problems Of war, because in war we
were decided what to DO, while in
peace we have not decided definitely.
The solution of the question will come
through the decisions of minds trained

Tentative Reservations TO
Peace Treaty To President

Because they contravene the allies :
formula of justice.
Because they violate the territorial
integrity aud political independence of
China, guaranteed in conventions be
tween Great Britain, France, Russia, the
United States and japan.
Because they are negotiated in cir
cumstances Of intimidation and under

Because they lack finaliiy, being SO
regarded by japan who sought TO make
them final by negotiating before China
was suffered to enter the Wal a set Of

The Chinese charged that instructions
issued to the Japanese minister at Pc
king in 1915 just before presentation of

that "Japah's dominant aim in the war
was the strengthening Of Jspan's posi-.
tion in eastern Asai by all means within

APPROPRIATION FOR
FIGHTING FLU ASKED
Congress Urged To Provide
$l,5OO,OOO To Assist
Epidemic Crusade.

Washington, July 25. Fl Congress
should Immediately appropriate $500,
900 for fighting influenza occurrences
which medical authorities say are prob
able, Representative Fess, Ohio, was to
tell the house today.
Fess and Senator Harding Of Ohio
hove introduced measures embodying
the recommendation Fess made today.
"The last epidemic caused 100000
deaths and a total economic loss Of
nearly si,O0O,00O, according 10 figures
complied by the American Hedieal as
sociation," Fcss said.
"Tho all important thing now is to
find cure. This will require expensive
research and propose that the mon
ey shall be expended under the drec-
tion Of the public health service.
"There is a general belief in the
medical world that the second and
third years will show frightful after
effects unless specific remedies can be
found. But the appalling loss Of 5O0,'
900 lives--five times our loss In the
war-with assurance that the plague
will appear again. is enough to arouse
US 10 immediate action.
"It is generally believed that sue
cess will follow the efforts Of the med.
zeal world in its fight against tho cpl
demie, just as in the cases OF yellow
fever. typhus, diphtheria and other
maladicsD
Fess read to the house a letter from
Otto p. Geiser, secretary Of the Amer
lean Medical association, which stated
that mortality was forty percent above
the normal death rate in the years af
ter the previous influenza epidemies
Medical authorities, Geier admitted
are still bafflcd over the origin an6
cause Of the disease and stated that
