Complete Text of This important
Document As 1t Was Signed
at Paris and Which Is Now
Causing Discussion in
This Country.
EVERYONE SHOULD READ 1T

The people of the United States have
been asked, by both the proponents
and the opponents of the peace treaty
and League of Nations covenant, to
give expression to their desires
as to the ratification of the treaty as
it stands or with amendments or reser-
vations. Some of them have respond
ed, at the meetings addressed by the
president and by the opposing sena-
tors, or by commur ications to their
senators. But the vast majority of the
people are handicapped by their ig-
norance of the matter Probably not
one in ten thousand has read the
covenant Of the League of Nations as
it was presented to the senate, main
ly because few have had the oppor-
tunity. In order that our readers may
be prepared to do their full duty as
citizens in regard to the controversy,
the complete text Of the covenant is
herewith presented, and they are asked
to read it carefully.

opinion | will never leave them again.
We didn't have a very pleasant trip

second day, we sailed and didn't have
any good weather until the day we

YOU eat the sicker and weaker you are.
We boarded the boat at Bordeaux the
fifth and unloaded on the morning OF

day from the time we sailed until we
came in sight Of land.
Those were the worst seven months
that | ever lived. The meals were
the worse than the worst one | ever at

| spent the greater part OF my pay
in France for eats and anything you
bought there cost you from two to five
times as much as in the states. What
would YOU think if you had pay one
dollar and eighty cents a dozen Tor
eggs, and nearly every thing was
worse than that.
| made an allotment of fifteen dol
lars a month in December. | don't
know whether any of it has gotten
home yet or not, but you ought to get
a check for fifteen dollars a month un-
til | get my discharge. 1t will be

TURKISH GOVERNMENT TO
RELEASE CHRISTIAN ORPHANS

New York, March 4, 1919.-Dr. c.
F. Gates. president Of Robert College,
Constantinople, tells Of the suffering
of the children of the Turkish En-
pire.
| have recommended to the Tur-
kish Government that they turn over
Christian orphans to the Christian
communities, and they are ready to do
this, but there are many questions to
be considered in this work, for there
are still many thousands Of orphaned
children uncared for and wandering
about without home or parents, where
ever they can find food, and they die
easily. To care for them will require
money and work.
"The Turkish Government is sup
porting thousands in orphanages, but
they are being trained to the Moslems.
Many of them have lost idenity and DO
not remember the names Of their
parents.
eff Christians take over these or
phanages, they must also find money
and food for their support.
The Turkish Government had sixty
such orphanages and is now trying to
concentrate all Of these children in
ten.
