WILSON MAY START
HOME FROM ANTWERP
Belgians Say Harbor Is Deep
Enough for His Ship.
By tie Associated Press.

PARIS, May l9.-The question of
President Wilson sailing homeward
from Antwerp is under consideration
again, It was the first plan that he
shouldvisit Brussels and then proceed
to Antwerp to board the liner George
Washinfton, but the naval authorities
said Antwerp harbor was not deep
enough TO accommodate the vessel
This brought TO Paris a delegation
from Belgium which asserts that Ant
werps harbor was OF depth ample
for the George Washington The ques-
tion is being examined into again and
II II is found that the harbor is ade-
quate for the draft OF the Presidents
vessel the trip 10 Brussels will he de-
ferred cntil stop can he made there on
the way to Antwerp for the homeward
voyage
Should sailing from Antwerp or OS-
tend not be feasible. President Wilson
may visit Brussels as soon as the
plans Of tho German peace delegates
become clear. The exact time for the
visit has not been ixd.
II Is said in high quarters in Paris
that reports that II is President Will
sons intention to sail June are not
warranted, as no determination has yet
been reached, all depending on the time
OF the signing OF the peace treaty.

LoNpoN, May la--The start Of Harry

umns over the achievement of the
American naval airmen in reaching
the Azores, but all available news re-
garding the American flight is printed

contain editorial comment on the
Azores success, giving the American ms
ungrudging praise. 1T was a'splendid
performance. of which any nation
might well be proud" says the Daily
Mail, for instance.
There is likewise some ruerul COM
ment by the press upon the organized
naval aid given to the American airmen
which Is contrasted with the apparent
Indifference OF the British Air Ministry

one commentator, the British might now

graduating the Americans.
At the Air Ministry the action OF the

dication, 1t being pointed out that the
policy OF the Ministry throughout had
been TO foster the enterprise OF the avia-
ton companies.

official, the Air Ministry would have
undertaken the flight months ago. We
have airplanes. seaplanes and men ca

ALLIES ANSWER
GERMANS NOTE
"NO Intention to Destroy
Economic Life" Says Reply
to Complaint.
FAIR TREATMENT SHOWN
Loss Of Merchant Marine Is
Called Equalization Of
War Toll.
By tAe AssociateG Prcss.

PARIS, May ia reply by the allied
and associated Governments to the
German note protesting against the
economic terms OF tho peace treaty as
being calculated to cause the industrial
ruin of Germany has been delivered
to the German peace plenipotentiaries,
The reply Is under eleven heads. and
answers each German contention. It
declares that the allied and associated
Governments in framing the economic
terms had no intention to destroy
Germany's economic life"
On the contrary, the report points out
that in the reconstruction of the worlds
affairs Germany will have her part in
the progressive development but also
will share with the rest of the world in
the economic losses and disadvantages
inevitably resulting from the war.
The reply declares the German note
fails TO take into consideration the fact
that the disarmament of Germany and
the end OF militarism will relieve the
German people Of an immense burden of
taxation and return to the ranks OF use
full production millions of men formerly
in the army who have been entirely
withdrawn from Industrial or agricul-
tural activity.
The reply also makes an emphatic
rejoinder to the German complaint that
the loss OF the German merchant ma
rine will throw out of work thousa nds
of German merchant seamen. The
Allies answer Is that the destruction OF
merchant ships, chiefly by German sub
marines, has had the unfortunate effect
OF limiting the opportunities for work
OF seamen throughout the world. the
allied Powers being the greatest suf-
ferers. II adds that there clearly is
no reason why Germany should be ex-
empted from its share OF tho economic
disadvantage growing out OF this de-
struction of merchant ships.
The reply on the economic objections
is regarded as one of the best docu-
ments in the exchange OF notes. Many
persons attribute it to President Will

PARIS. May lS.--The Allies expect to
know fairly definitely within the next
forty y-eight hours whether the Ger
mans intend to sign the peace treaty.
1t is believed their policy was fully
determined at the German conferences
at Spa. which were attended by Count
Won Brockdorff -Rantzau. head OF the
delegation. The Count has returned to
Versailles. accompanied by Max Won
wasserman one OF the managers of
the Reichsbank.
Even II the Germans have decided
to sign ultimately It is not believed
here that they will do 80 before June
5 at the earliest, as they probably
will put in counter treaty Thursday.
This will require a week or longer for
the Allies to answer, after which they
will fx n date for a definite yes or no.
The allied answer to the German
economic notes refuses any change in
this clause. and denies that the Ger
mans are unable to support their popu-
lation, as they contend. The notes
point out, also, that the German ship
ping losses comprise a burden which
the nation must bear as penalty for
the submarine ravages which caused
unemployment for thousands of allied
seamen.
The note reaffirms the allied inten-
ton of standing firm, yet disclsims
any intention to destroy Germany in

PRODUCING HIGH-CLAsS MEAT
Cattle, Hogs and Sheep Have Been Mated and Selected to Make Cuts
 Tender and Juicy.

Meat making animals-beef cattle, hogs and sheep-have been selected and mated so as to increase the pro- duction of high-class cuts; to make more tender and juicy meat, with a better intermingling of fat and lean, and with lesser percentage of waste The breeds of dairy cattle have been improved by selecting those producing the highest yields of milk and butter fat, and draft horse progress Is esti- mated by the ability to produce anI- mals capable of moving unusually heavy loads. Consequently, if breed ing animal is able to impress upon its offspring the ability to make more meat or milk, or to generate more power than it was possible for the unimproved part of the ancestry to do, then that breeding animal has demonstrated his worth.

The period of gestation of a eve averages about 150 days, so that when breeding for lambs to come in Febru- ary or March it is possible to secure a mating season while there is still some green pasture. Ewes bred at a time when they have green, succulent stuff are we'll conditioned and are more likely to have from two to three lambs apiece than ewes which are bred while in thin flesh or fed on an all-dry ration. Underfed ewes or ewes in thin flesh when bred usually have one, sometimes two, lambs apiece, and such lambs are generally weak and scraggly and are hard to raise.

"Y" PLAYS EoST TO EIGHTEEN MILLION
 SOLDIERS AND SAILORS

According to figures just issued by the Northeastern Department of the War Work Council, the attendance at the IT Y huts in New England from the spring of 1917 to fall of 1918 reached an aggregate of 1S,041,475. This immense figure averages 234,S05 men per hut for the duration of Americas activity in the war; or. 31.s52 men per day for the same period. Most Of army of guests came just because the hut was a little sample of home, and because here they could sit in warmth and think of the real homes they had left. How faithful they were to these homes of their own is shown by the fact that envelopes to the number of 11,194,364 were given out to the soldiers and sailors with paper to match. And it was not only words that went home, money orders amounting to s57S,1233S were sold by "Y" secre- taries during the war.

This would average 10 for every day of the war in these New England states, or 62 for every hut. The attendance at these shows reached a total of 1,S19,- 694 an average of 3S3 men per show Of course the motion picture, being a condensed and more available form of drama, was given in greater number. There were 695S of these programs, attended by 2,311, ,S21 men. Devoted defenders of the "legit" who regret the inroads the motion picture has made on public taste. will be comfort ed to know that the average atten- dance at the pictures was lower than that at the drama-being 333 per show, as against the other figure, 3S3.
