The Darkest Hour ofte Peace Conference

but gave an impression OF unalterable determination
I felt, at the moment. that nothing but a supreme
faith in Almighty God and in the rightness OF his course,
could have sustained him at that moment
And when he has made UP his mind he can strike
as he did a number OF times at Paris-with stunning
boldness' audacity. On April Z he acted-and the
action fell like a thunder-bolt. Il was so unexpected.
so challenging, so final, that half the newspapers would
not at first believe IL. He ordered the George Wash
ington' which was then under repair at Brooklyn, to
sail Immediately to Brest. Our press bureau was
directed TO make the bare announcement with ex-
PLANTATION. But no explanation was necessary; it was
clear TO everyone that the president had reached the
extreme limit Of his patience and that he was de-
handing n showdown" It was no BLUM; either the
settlement was 20 be on tho principles laid down., or
else he was prepared to sail for home.
Tho effect was astonishing. After the first outburst
OF agitated comment It produced a sudden hush in the
world. For a moment the criticism in Europe suddenly
and almost ceased. Here was a man who couldn't
after all, be stampeded, who couldn't be talked to
death. What could be done with such a man?
SIGNIFICANT ITEM.
On April S appeared one Of those extraordinary
little items in lie Temps which everyone recognized at
once as inspired from above, as a kind OF final decision
upon a great policy. 1t was headed Frances Claims"
and was as follows:
Contrary to the assertions spread by the German
prees and taken up by other foreign newspapers, we
believe that the French government has no annexation
ist pretentions, openly or under cover. in regard to any
territory inhabited by a German population. This re-
mark applies particularly TO the regions comprised be-
tween the frontier of 1871 and the frontier Of 1914"
This latter region was Of course, the Saar valley
And this statement symbolzed a turning point in the
conference. There was an immediate toning down of
the demands, and a new effort on every hand TO get
together. Above all, there was a marked change in the
attitude Of the press toward the president His bold
gesture had cleared the air, and from that moment
forward the progress was much more rapid and de-
cisive. A week later on April IA, so advanced was
the work on the treaty. that the Germans were sum
mOned TO Versailles.
The next great crisis at the conference centered
around the Italian question and was precipitated by
Prest Wilson'S appeal TO the Italian people. which
caused the Italian delegation to leave the conference.
This will be treated in the next article.

known before-if the world is now civilized enough TO
go ahead and use them.
One hesitates 10 think what the treaty would have
been If the president had not been there. But he wore
himself ouI in the struggle. and on April 3 the break
came, and the president fell III. It was a task beyond
human endurance. No man could have stood it, DR..

never lost intimate touch with the proceedings.
DARKEsT HOUR OF
This was perhaps the darkest moment Of the entire
peace conference. for the discussions among the con-
ferees, and the opposition TO the presidents demands
his illness. Now that he was down it seemed still
easier 10 ride over him. The Italians seized this mo-
ment TO threaten TO bolt the conference if they were
not instantly assured Of being given Fiume. The French
were still insistent upon getting the Saar valley. And
unrest was everywhere increasing. On April 6 while
the president still lay i'll, there was an OminOus red
flag parade in Paris, o%stensibly to protest against the
acquittal Of the assassin Of Jaures but really TO exhibit
the strength of the revolutionary forces in France.
But in spite of his nlness-and a terrible kind of
taloneness. for 1t seemed at that time that everyone in

minosity of his eyes. 1t was clear, from what he said,
that a crisis had been reached, and that he was de-
termined now to stop further delay and bring the
questions in the conference to a final issue. The allies
had agreed among themselves and agreed with Ger
many upon certain general principles Of justice to be
observed "a the settlement and the whole course of the
conference up to that time had been made UP of a
series of attempts to break over these agreements to
impose harder terms, get territory, levy impossible
indemniues. The time had now arrived when there
had to be a decision as between the two struggling
purposes Of the conference.
QUIET IN EXPRESSING DECISION.

NeW Kinds of Beef
Destined for Table

Musk OK, says Stefaasson. the
famous Arctic explorer. is destined
10 be the most common form of
meat served on American tables
within 40 years. This meat is not
only very good and platable, but it
is SO much like the familiar beef
that consumers can only tell the two
varieties apart by the mark stamp
ed upon them.
Reindeer meat, too, is to be used
generally in this country. The meat
is considered by many people TO be
about as palatable as beef. The
price of both these meats ought to
be considerably less than current
prices for beef. The animals can
be raised very cheaply indeed, and
require little care.
The hides of the musk OK and
reindeer are also valuable. Reindeer
skin makes excellent glove and shoe
leather. And the musk OK has been
called by the explorer a cow with
a coat Of wool" 1t has a woody
coat concealed beneath its long,
hairy outer coat. which has manu-
featuring possibilities.
At present Mr.. Stefansson is in
Canada working for the government
with the purpose Of introducing
these meats in that country. He an
ticipates early success. There is no
reason why he should not succeed
in Canada or why the use of such
meat should not spread to this coun-
try. People who shrink from the
use of locusts in their normal diet
Will surely find 10 objection 10 veni-
son and a new variety of beef that
is just as good as our American beef
and much cheaper.

Great Colorado Dam May be
 Built by Private Enterprise

While there is local expectation that the national government yet will attend to the damming of the Colorado river for the storage of the spring floods and for the de- velopment of enormous hydro electric power supplies, several private enterprises now are busy on the same line.
 One scheme is to blast off the sides of a high and narrow can- yon, near Jone's ferry, and thus fill up the deep channel with a rock mass, it being explained that ''the silt could be depended upon to fill the chinks," though there would be provided a concrete fac ing. Just what the federal gov ernment would do were an at tempt made to place in the can yon anything save a masonry or metal dam is now a matter for conjecture.
 Another plan, given publicity by c. H. Randall, is to establish a steel barrier under which the rivers normal flow would pass and behind which a part O. the freshets would be impounded.
 The Westinghouse Electric Co.,, and E. w. Gillette, the razor mil lionaire, both have been mention ed in connection with the surveys that have been in progress for nearly a year near Collville, in Iceburg or BoulderCanyon, where a 34-mile lake would be created, of greater storage capacity than the reservoir at Roosevelt, with a dam 400 feet high.
 Power is to be developed through a tunnel driven into the noun tains clear around ithe dam, the energy developed estimated as enough to furnish all the needs of northern Arizona and southern  Nevada, even considering the op- eration of the railroads.
