As a result of series OF incidents, re-
lations between Switzerland and the So
Wet government of Russia have been
strained for some time In January, it
was announced at Moscow that Swiss
subjects IN Russia would be held in Jail
until Switzerland had agreed to receive
a Russian envoy. There is no evidence
that the members of the Swiss legation
were placed under arrest, however, and il
was announced early this, month that
they would be permitted to leave Russia
The granting of free passage to the
Swiss legation staff probably marks the
final step in the controversy.

GRIM WILL
OF THE WORLD
Determination That There Shall Be
No More Wars, VIII Make
League Of Nations
Sure.

by William Philip Simms, United
Press Staff Correspondent.
Paris, Jan. 9.-The grim will Of
the world that there shall be no more
wars will make the league OF ma
tons an integral part of the peace
settlement. Leon Bourgeois, senator
and former premier, declared in an
interview with The United Press to-
day.
Bourgeois, who is the foremost
French authority on the league OF
nations. was recently charged by
Premier Clemenceau to confer with
American British and Italian league
experts and draw up a plan to De
submitted by the French delegation
at the peace conference. He out
lined this program today for the
information OF the American public.
The principal variance of Bour-
geois' plan from President Wilson'S
ideas is that the French desire to
refuse Germany membership in the
league until she fuIfills all the con-
ditions imposed on her by the peace
treaty. Wilson, ii lis understood,
! would admit Germany on probation.
Bourgeois desires that the league
OF nations shall be created by the
associated powers at the peace con-
ference and that Germany shall sign
adherence 10 the league principles
| simultaneously with the other terms
Of peace. After this, the league
would pass upon the applications of
other nations, all of which would be
eligible provided they are clean
handed. democratic and honest
Germany could come in only after
she had proved ner sincerity by car
rying out all the obligations inn
posed on her as Versailles
First, it must provide that arbi-
tration shall be obligatory.
Second, ii must limit ornaments.
Third it must create penalties
for refractory nations.
There would be four penalties
diplomatic, judicial, economic and
military.

AMERICAN WOMAN IN EUROPE

New York Sun: No feature OF the
presidents brilliant progress through
poinp and pageapts in the various
European capitals listed in his itin-
erary has been more gratifying to
American observers than his con-
slant solicitude that Mrs. Wilson
shall share equally with MIN in the
honors and pleasures of the festivi-
ties. IL the president has shown
himself to Europe as an accom-
plished statesman, an impressive
apostle and prophet and an eloquent
orator. he has likewise acted like an
admirable husband
Certainly il has been President
Wilson's good fortune TO be able TO
give to his wife-we much prefer
the word TO "eonsortH-a social and
spectacular experience such as has
been enjoyed by no other Ameri-
can woman that ever travelled abroad
The sentiment OF the thing appeals
strongly to the American fondness
for practical illustrations of that
democratic mobility which is the
underlying principle of our national
life
Three years before the date OF her
arrival at Brest Mrs. Wilson's name
and personality were as unknown,
beyond narrow circle IN Washing
ton, as those OF tens OF millions OF
her aniable and lovely sisters IN
every part of the United States. To-
day-well, while we have no disposi-
ton to make catalogue of the in
cidents OF ner remarkable journey in
company with the president, we can
at least say that she has become one
OF the best known women in the
world.
And the pleasantest part of it is
that once more the fine dignity, the
Unborn grace and tact Of the Arneri-
can woman have proved themselves
adequate TO some OF the most IN
accustomed situations.

ton of spirit which comes from doing any
thing useful. helpful, needful for somebody

huInblest task, which tends to make all labor
light and the time it takes seem short
The WAYS of washing dishes, according to
one who is an expert In that line of household

has remained In favor throughout the centuries
Is a bare-handed attack with soap and some

soldier was forced to eat from them with lack
of confidence or long teeth.
No one can blame woman for not enjoying
washing dishes every day, for it is an unin-

Mr.. Wilson'S Future.

Washington Post: 1t is announced
that the position of president of the
University of North Carolina is open
to Woodrow Wilson at q salary of
$4,000 a year. This is exceedingly
liberal pay for the presidency of a
university, but ii is said that the
North Carolina institution is able TO
pay It by reason of a large bequest
from the widow of Henry nj. Flag
Ter. A significant sentence In the
despatch announcing the news states:
President Wilson is said to be in
terested in the proposal" Numerous
suggestions have been put forward
from time to time making provision
far the future of President Wilson.
It has been suggested that at the
close OF his term he devote his at
tention to writing a history Of the
war. Other kind and thoughtful
friends have intimated that way
may be found by which he can re-
turn to the classic shades Of Prince
ton. Other similar ideas have been
put forward Suggestions concerning
the future of the president may be
expected to become more frequent
and more earnest as the date Of the
next democratic national convention
approaches. And it may be added
that they will come from democratic
as well as republican sources. In
about eighteen months the next presi-
Dental campaign will be launched,
and there are many ambitious poll
ticians in this country who fervently
hope that by that time definite pro-
vision for the future Of Woodrow
Wilson In the quiet and peaceful
walks of private life viii have been
made.

ORANGE GROVES AND IOWA.

Sioux City journal: The present
cold wave caused many people VINO
live in the middle north to long for
the orange groves. and sunny Chimes
where the mercury does not play
hide and seek with zero. The aver
age Iowa, South Dakota and Ne
braska farmer who goes about his
farm chores bundled in sheep lined
coat need not envy the fruit grow
ers. They are the people who are
worrying now A threatened drop to
freezing brings them face 10 face
with financial disaster. It means the
possible destruction of their groves
and certainly the loss of their crops.
About five years ago a freeze killed
hundreds Of orange groves in Cali
fornia The replanted ones are just
coming into full bearing. Growers
who lost those groves had no income
from them in the interim. The cost
of bringing citrus grove to the pro
dustive age is tremendous. 1t makes
the cost of Iowa farm land shriyel in
comparison. What freeze which
destroys the grove means TO the
owner is not difficult ito imagine.
AtCificial methods are used to re-
'once the frost results Pots of burn
ing pitch provide dense smoke clouds
which have some effect, but 1t is
impossible TO heat the entire atmos-
phere, and when the disastrous cold
waves approach there is nothing to
do but wait in agony. A nidwesteru
farmer may meet unfavorable wealth
err conditions and his crops may fail
TO realize his full expectations. But
even If he should experience an en-
tire crop failure he would have to
aait only one year for another oppor-
tunity and the cost of the waiting is
nothing But the citrus grower who
loses his trees must wait four or i've
years before the means of his income
are restored and he has the cost OF
planting and care during that waiting
period as charge against his first
crops when the trees reach bearing.
On the whole, the middle western
farmer has a far better lot than his
distant neighbor who grows oranges
and whose groves under ideal wealth
er conditions look like paradises. The
times of worry and anxiety occur
when cold waves sweep the country.

Memorial Meeting Suggested.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
! suggest that the citizens Of Keo-
kuk hold memorial meeting to show
honor to the worth and work of Theo-
dore Roosevelt To do this we will
do honor to ourselves and 1t will be
in keeping with the traditions of
Keokuk. Keokuk held memorial serv-
ices for Stephen A. Douglas in 1861,
for Lincoln in 1866, for Garfield In
1881, for General Grant in 1885 and
for Mckinley in 1901.
Colonel Roosevelt honored Keokuk
by visiting our city on three different
occasions and our citizens will be
showing gratitude and patriotism by
publicly manifesting their appreciation
of the transcendent Americanism OF
Roosevelt. That definite and speedy
action may be taken, i suggest the
following names for preliminary
committee to put the entire matter
in a. tangible form: John Nagel, w.
ia. Blood, G. Walter Barr. Mrs. d.
A. Collier and Mrs. J. j. Ayres. Let
us not neglect the opportunity to

PATERNALIsM OF A GOOD SORT.

Last year the federal department Of agrcul-
ture purchased for the farmers upwards OF one
hundred thousand tons of nitrate of soda for
fertilizer use; but owing to war demands a part
of this supply was diverted to the munitions
plants.
Now the department has made arrangements
for securing another large supply Of nitrate for
the coming season, which will be sold to farm
ers for cash at price it cost the government
The sale and distribution of this nitrate will be
made through a county distributor acting III

and nitrate committee composed of local bust
nessmen who viii be expected to cooperate
with the farmers In handling the shipments.

government, this distribution has in it the fla
