CLASS OF COMMUNICATES
MONDAY NIGHT AT ST. PETERS
EPISCOPAL CHURCH-DELlv-
Erred ELOQUENT ADDRESS.

DR. George O. Watts, rector of St.
Peters church, presented a class of
ten for confirmation to Bishop Thorn
as F. Gailor Monday night at 7:3O
o'clock. The class was composed of
Clint Moose, ST., Major Roy Erwin,
Misses Nora Green, Ethel McKen-
non, Ruth Sadler, Emmalyn Foreman,
Lillian Moore, Jessie Gray and Rosa
Shirley and Frances Boardman
Bishop Gailor delivered splendid
address before the confirmation. The
address, while eloquent in its delivery
was one of the simplest and most ap-
pealing that the Bishop has deliver
ed from the pulpit of st, Peters
church in many years. The smallest
child could have understood what the
gifted speaker was conveying to his
hearers. The subject of his address
was taken from the book of Samuel.
At the conclusion of the laying on
of the hands, Bishop Gailor made a
talk to the class which was directed
to the two meanings of the confirma-
tion.

Fatal Accident on Pittsburgh Track.
7S Persons Injured.
Pittsburgh, Feb. 22.-Nine persons
are known to have been killed and rs
others injured, many fatally, when a
Baltimore & Ohio passenger train
crashed into two light engines double
heading here tonight. The accident
occurred shortly after 8 o'clock and
at midnight police, firemen, railroad
men and private citizens still were
at work on the debris in an effort to
bring out any bodies pinned in the
wreckage
All the victims Of the accident re-
sided In and about Pittsburgh, many Of
them coming from the city Of Nc
Kecsport, near here.
The accident occurred near Swim
burn Street and Second Avenue, the
tracks at this point being elevated
above the surface Of the avenue.
According to officials of the rail-
road, the light engines were ordered
to take a siding near Hazelwood, so
that the passenger train would have
clear track. The engines pulled in
on the siding, and the officials ex-
press the opinion that one Of the loco
motives evidently had not pulled in
far enough off the main line, and that
the passenger train sideswiped it.
The train, travelling about 40 miles
an hour, crashed into the big engines,
scattering wrcckagc in all directions,
much OF the debris falling over the
retaining wall to Second Avenue.
Three Of the passenger coaches
were ripped from the remainder of
the train but they held the rails.
Passengers were hurled from their
scat through windows in many in
stances.

TROOPS MAY CONE
HOME BY GERMANY

Proposal to Transport Several Hun
dred Thousand Americans has been
Made. Possible to Bring 100000
by Route.
Berlin, Thursday, Feb. 20.-A pro-
posal to transport several hundred
thousand men of the American EXpc-
dictionary Forces to the United States
by way Of Germany, placing them on
board ships at Bremen and Hamburg,
has been submitted to the American
authorities. According to the present
American arrangements, however, the
first of the American units to be
repatriated in German steamers will
embark from the Netherlands, but it
is said here American army headquar-
ters is inclined to consider favorably
tre use of the route through Germany
for some Of the later cmbarkations,
owing to the convenient transporta-
tion facilities and the adequate dock
age and other arrangements Of the
North German ports.
The proposal, which was submitted
by the directors of the North German
Lloyd Line, with the approval Of the
|Gcrman government, provided that a
fleet of big liners with normal car
rying capacity of $4,000 passengers
should be assigned to this service and
the troops transported from their
present stations over the direct trunk
lines to Bromen and Hamburg. Over
thsce lines, according to General
Groener, now in charge of the Ger
man railways. a speedy movement
would be practical.
The steamers would be capable of
making eight round trips in a year,
making it possible to return 100000
men by this route in that period. As
| American experts commented how
ever, if the ships were loaded in ac-
cordance with the present American
military practice instead Of undcr The
German pl'c-war regulations, they
would carry at least twice that num-
Der, or 100000 the trip.
The steamship company directors
ih memorandum to General Pcrsh-
ing pointed out that the plan they
proposed would relieve the ovcr-taX-
cd French railways and ports Of a
part Of tho burden of the hOmcward
movement OF the American army and
provide distinctly quicker route.
They urged as also against the pres

1.-THE time has come when we must
settle our account" said Clemenceau,
and thereupon he handed to the repre-
sentatives Of Germany what he aptIy
called a "bOOk"-sQme $4,000 words of
peace terms to Which Germany is re-
quired to give adherence. When this
is done-indeed, whether or not it is
dOne-Germany stands shorn of vir-
tually all of her military and naval
power and of more than a million
square miles of territory, and ec0nomi-
.cally and financially bound until she
has paid for the tremendous damage
she wrought in the war.
Whether by intention or by accident,
the day was well chosen for the deliv.
cry to the Germans of the document
so Hateful to them and their country.
It was May 7, the fourth anniversary
Of one of their most shocking crimes,
the sinking of the Lusitania. The re-
ception Of the delegates from Berlin
was deliberately cool and the proceed
ings in the Versailles palace were
marked by stern formality. There
WIS no smallest pretense of cordially
on the part OF the representatives of
the allied ana associated powers, for
they felt none. you have asked for
peace. We are ready to give you
peace" were Clemenceau's words, but
the peace offered will be as gall and
NORWOOD in the mouths of the Ger
mans.
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau, re.
plying for the enemy delegation, adj
mitted the utter defeat of Germany
but denied her sole culpability for the
war. He intimated plainly that Ger.
many would put in a counter claim for
damages because of the loss of life
due to the blockade, and that in gen.
eral she would take her stand on Pres
Idcnt Wilson's fourteen points in op-
posing what she might consider oppres-
siVe in the treaty. Indeed, it is clear
that the Germans intend to pay much
more attention to those points than do
the allies. What this will avail them
Is not difficult to forecast Before get
ting the treaty they said unoficially
that they would sign it, but that Ger
many never would pay an indemnity,
by which they presumably meant penal
damages, such as Bismarck exacted
from France in 1871. The treaty does
not call for the payment of an in
demnity, as such, but the Germans may
so consider some of the items of repa-
ration. In any event, their refusal to
sign, or their failure to carry out the
terms of the pact, has been or will be
provided for in the plans of the eco
nOmic commission of the allies. Pos
sibly the military will have something
to say and do, also.

President Wilson last week issued
his call for an extra session of con-
gress, summoning the lawmakers to
meet on May 19-an earlier date than
had been expected. He cannot be in
Washington for the opening of the SEES
sion, owing to the work still to be done
in Paris. The Republicans, who will
control both houses, are busy prepar-
ing their program. The house must
hurry through Il lot of appropriation
bills and in the senate will be staged
the great debate over the peace treaty,
and especially the covenant of the
league of nations. 1t is predicted that
the senate will give the entire treaty
its approval, though many of the men,
bers will argue long and earnestly
against the league covenant as 1t
stands. The supporters of the league
undoubtedly will have the immense as
sistance of addresses by the president
who will return in time to take the
field in championship Of the great in
ternational union with whose forma-
tion he has had so much to do.

No sooner had the German treaty
been handed to the Hun delegates than
the council of four began consideration
Of the program for the presentation Of
peace terms to the representatives of
Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria. These
treaties, which already were partly
drawn up, more Immediately concern
Italy, and the return of the Italian del
egates, who were in time for the cere-
mony ON Wednesday, made it possible
to 60 ahead speedily. Premier Ofgan.
do and his associates went back to
Paris at the request of the other nfem-
bers Of the conference and after plan
was formulated for the disposition of
Fiume. 1t was proposed that the city
should be under International control
until 1923 and should then be given to
Italy. In the meantime Jugo-Slavia
shall construct for itself port little
to the south of Fiume, with railroad
connection with Agram and other
cities. II was understood that Italy was
prepared to sacrifice some of her
claims on the Dalmatian coast. 1t was
believed in Paris that President wilson
would consent 10 some such comDro-
mise, for the strength of the Jqgo-
