those who say Germany should

who have any intelligence
must know by this time that
their old dream is shattered
forever and that the country
must take its punishment.
There may be injustice in the
treaty but if so the Germans
have no one but themselves to
blame. They started the war
and we have not forgotten how
they acted when they thought
they had the war won. The
Berlin demonstration yesterday

COCKTAIL IN OPP
GRAFTON
Irish Paper Describes Method of
Combating Drouth in U. S.

From a recent issue of the Belfast
| (Ireland) Telegraph we find this lucid
explanation of how one may be his
own distiler:
The "wets" and "dry" are marshall
| ing their forces in the United States
for the greatest legal battle the world
has ever seen cables the New York
correspondent of the London Daily
| Telegraph").
Both sides have engaged stats rep
resenting the country's greatest law
yers, and neither side lacks money.
Both seem confident and both believe
that the "justice of their case" will
finally win.
The "wets" will try to prove that
the teetotallers bought some State
Legislatures, but the "drys" deny the
charge, which they describe as char
acteristic of a corrupt trade like
brewing and liquor selling.
One amusing development of the
situation is the formation of COM
pany to sell an appliance to the pub
lie so that "every man can be his own
distiller." The apparatus is cheap,
like water filter, and works well.
The "wets" are certainly not down
hearted, they believe that the cocktail
a la mode, lately invented in Henry
Ford's town of Detroit, may save the
day.
l have seen this cocktail in actual
operation, and it lacks neither "kick"
nor picturesqueness 1t comes to the
table in cocktail glass, just like the
ordinary Californian grape juice, a
beautiful purple colour, and is tee
total; but on the plate beside it there
is little tissue-paper sanitary con-
tainer, enclosing title pellet of yeast
You place the pellet in the grape
juice, stir vigorously and fermentation
starts Immediately AS to the
strength of the "kick' one may COM
pare it to the average brandy and
soda
The motto of Detroit is "The city
where life is worth living and the
is reported to be spreading
like an epidemic in all the temperance
states. The tetotallers declare that
they will make all evasions of the law
punishable, but the moderate drinkers
there is less drinking in the United
States than in any country in Europe
believe that their rights are un-
assaiiable. 1t is certain, according to
many authorities here, that no law
will compel temperance and the most
'drys" can accomplish is to make open
drinking Impossible.

Rome, April 23-Record- breaking
demonstrations were held here to-
night in favor of recognition of Ital-

Great crowds bearing flags of the

PEACE WITHIN SIXTY
DAYS Of SIGNING
Plan to Prevent Confusion Ratlfica.
tlOn Dates-U. \. and Germany
May Make Separate Pact.

Paris, April PA clause has been
drafted for insertion In the peace
treaty fixing the date for the transit
ton to state of peace 60 days after
the signing of the treaty. If the treaty
be signed about May Is peace thus
would become effective throughout the
world on July Is.
The purpose of this provision Is
to prevent confusion among the more
than 20 belligerent nations, which
might fix different dates In their var
ious notifications. According to the
present plan, each nation will ratify
the treaty according its own laws, but
all will unite in common date which
will become universal cay of peace.
This follows the precedent establish
ed at the conclusion of previous wars,
but 1t is increasingly necessary in the
present case owing to the large num-
Der or nations signing the treaty.
1t is being considered whether the
United States, as an associated pow
err, but not an ally, should sign a sep
arate treaty of peace with Germany.
1t would be the same treaty as that
signed by the Allies and would be
signed at the same time as part of the
same ceremony, but the eject of the
separate treaty would be to preserve
the position of the United States as an
Associated instead of an Allied power
and would be a direct agreement be-
tween the United States and Germany
instead of between the United States
and large number of other Allied
powers.

WILSON STANDS

QUITS peace TABLE
ALLIES Urge Compromise and Depar.
ture Of Italians Is DeIayed-wn.
son VIII Not Reconsider
Flume Decision.

Paris, April 24-The Italian delega-
ton, despite conciliatory efforts of
British and French, apprentices de-
termined to carry out its threat to
withdraw from the Peace Conference.
The tense situation created by Pres
ident Wilson's statement yesterday af-
ternoon-establishing an unsurmount-
able barrier between modern and old
world diplomacy-grew today, as one
new development followed another in
bewildering succession.
For time today 1t seemed the an
gered Italians temporarily had been
appeased and would reconsider thei;
determination to leave for Rome. A
high authority announced shortly be-
fore noon, following a conference be-
tween Premier Vittorio Orlando and
Premier David Lloyd George that "the
Italians will not depart today" Less
than two hours later, however, the It.
allan Press Bureau officially stated
that while the delegates would not
leave at p. m, as scheduled, they
probably would depart on a special
train tonight.
The British apparently having failed
to swerve the Italians from their stand
1t was believed the French would re-
double their efforts in that direction.
1t was learned that while Lloyd
George and Orlando were in confer
ence at the latter's hotel Premier
Georges Clemenceau's secretary APP
peared there. This was believed to
presage a peronal attempt by "the
Tiger" to induce Orlando and his asso-
ciates to postpone withdrawal.
Meanwhile, President Wilson was
declared by those close to him to
be standing pat" on his statement
that Italy cannot have Fiume, the
Adriatic seaport which has been the
cruz ~ the whole ituation. 1t was
said the president is willing to reopen
the matter on just one condition
that the Italians shall acknowledge I'M
equivocally the principles contained
in the armistice terms and the -Four
teen Points," and partly reiterated by
him in his statement yesterday after
noon.
