Ten points in the peace treaty were
defined by President Wilson as the
fundamental principles on which he is
asking it's acceptance by the United
States.
The ten points in which he epito-
mics the treaty provision are as fol-
lows:
1. The destruction of autoeratic
power as an instrument of interna-
tional control, admitting only self
governing nations to the league
2. The substitution of publicity, dis
cussion and arbitration for war, using
the boycott rather than arms.
8. Placing the peace of the world
under constant international oversight
in recognition of the principle that the
peace of the werld is the legitimate
immediate interest of every state.
4. Disarmament.
5. The liberation of oppressed peo-
pies.
6. The discontinuance of annexa-
ton and the substitution of trustee
ship with responsibility to the opinion
of mankind.
Z. The invalidation of all secret
treaties.
8. The protection of dependent
peoples.
8. High standards of labor under
international sanction.

of humane reforms and regulation.

In two addresses the president as

acceptance of the peace treaty and
amelioration of living conditions was
a direct one. and that the world was
looking to America to take the lead
in restoring the world to a sound
economic basis.

ate for the Town Drunk.

The town was not exceptional. IL
had a weekly newspaper which had an
editor who ran 1t seemingly on natural
gas. and it had a town teller of fish
stories, and 1t had a town pump. But
this town wouldn't be complete with
out a town %drunkard. and this town,
somewhere in America, of course had
him. The drunkard, as is usually the
case, was the subject for much earn
est conversation among the children,
and home-loving elders would hold
him up as a horrible example to their
worldly ignorant heirs. This drunk
ard was not unusual, either. He had
his sprees, and his alternating moods
when he would hit the sawdust trail"
The war came on, and it shared with
the drunkard as a topic of equal i'm
portance for the town. Many of the
boys enlisted. Some of them went
into the infantry; others into other
branches Of the service.
One evening the bankers little son
came in earlier than usual from his
Inevitable baseball game.
"The old DRINKS enlisted! p he an
nounced b~reathlessly to the family,
who always did manage to get start
ed eating before the young son did.
"What?" demanded his father. Il
saw him drunk this morning"
Eyes, I know" replied the son.
Everybody saw him drunk. But Tom

The Social Fabric.

To uphold the social system women
submit to uncounted tests of their o n
stancy. They endure physical discon.
fort, ennui, the peril of cold drafts and
damp places, hours of WEAKNESS and
moments of acute annoyance for the
sake of what, to a man, is an unim-
portant social matter. And even
though at times she feels that 1t would
matter little If the whole social scheme
of things should perish-and hat In
stantly with fire and bloodshed If need
be-rather than require so much Of
her, she stands to her colors.
