He told graphically of the work OF
the six welfare organizations, viz;
The Red Cross, Y. M. c. A., Jewish
Welfare, knights of Columbus, A. l..
A., and Salvation Army.
For each organization he had tri-
butte to pay as each behaved so no
bly,.
He paid especial thanks to the peo-
pie back home" for the loyal support
rendered them, without which he said
that their efforts would have been
in vain.
He aregarded the work for the sol
diers as a privilege and was indeed
thankful that it had been possible for
him to have been "over there" and
with thousands of others did as best
he could Ibis bit"
In closing he paid a beautiful and
eloquent tribute to the American
Soldier"
Mr. Robert MacKay was for long
period with the army of occupation,
and in placing him on the program
the committee used good judgment.
Lieut. MacKay went across with
the Rainbow Division in September,
1917, and was one of the few Ameri-
can soldiers who got to the Rhine.
He enlisted as a private, and was
commissioned a lieutenant for meri-
torious service. His brother, George
MacKay, who was master engineer,
was killed in battle.
Having Capt Drake respond to the
toast: "The American Army" the
committee made wise selection. He
was in a position to speak as one
having knowledge.
Capt. Drake saw service in the
Boer war under the British flag and
he served on the Mexican border un-
der the stars and stripes and as soon
as we declared war against Germany
he crossed overseas and was one of
the few who set foot on German soil.
His speech had the characteristics
of the soldier both for brevity and
pointedness and every word was en-
joyed.
The American Legion is a new,
non partisan organization and its
work is calculated to build up q
strong, fraternal, nom sectional SEN
timent and DR.. H. F. Watt, who is its
post commander here, was happy in
telling of it's expectations and exalt-
ed purpose of knitting the nation to-
gether in stronger ties of national
ity.
Music followed DR. Watts fine adj
dress and Ocala's welcome to the re-
turning soldiers was pronounced
beautiful success and a thousand
thanks are due the Woman's club
who originated the idea and made its
success possible.
Owing to the heavy rain, which
lasted all the afternoon, the supper
was given in the dining room of the
Ocala House, and the speaking was
from the frant piazza of the hotel
The piazzo was decorated with the
Stars and Stripes, service flags and
patriotic bunting.
1t was a memorials occasion and
will long hold place in local his
tory.

GENEVA IS
SELECTED
AS the seat of the League of
Nations despite plea
of Paul Hymans
THE BELGIAN MINISTER.

Paris, April 12.-The selection of
Geneva as the seat of the League of
Nations was made despite the plea
of Paul Hymans, Belgian Minister
of Foreign Affairs, who urged the
claim of Brussels for the honor.
President Wilson supported Geneva,
and in this he was joined by Eng
land and Italy.
A placard was posted throughout
Paris yesterday by the General Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, entitled IAN ap-
peal to Public Opinion and the
Workers. 1t contains the follow
ing reference to the League of Ma
tions:
"Our diplomats offer us project
of League of Nations which is not
the society of nations such as was
prescribed in the fourteen points of
President Wilson. The people of
the entire world in their thirst for
Justice acclaimed these fourteen
points and we accepted them. The
French working class, faithful to its
conception of a war on war, rises
against the sabotage of peace"
The placard condemns the for
eign policy of blockade constraints
and political and armed interven-
tions 1t protests against the expe-
dition to Russia and asks for the
conclusion of real peace to which
all peoples can subscribe.

FOR ALL THE WORLD.

Paris, April 12.-With the single
exception to the amendment regard
ing the Monroe Doctrine which has
been appended to the coenant there
will be no vital change in agreement
which has been reached by the
League of Nations when they meet
ing marked the conclusion of the
consideration of the Covenant. The
Covenant as left did not include the
Japanese request for the recogni-
tion of racial equality, neither was
section included regarding the re-
quest of France for an International
Military organization to enforce

Both Italy and France reserved

Paris, April 12.-After Thurs

ton:
1.-The members of the Senate of
the French Republic, once more
voicing their desire that the inter

victory of the allied armies and of
such a nature as to establish peace
and justice throughout the world,
express the hops that full restitu-
tion will be exacted from the enc
my, together with reparation for
damage caused to persons and prop
erty, and that the full cost of the
war will be imposed on those re
| sponsible for thegreatest crime of
| history.
"The Senator'S are resolved to in
sist that the peace treaty and
League of Nations provide legal
/ territorial guarantees sufficiently
strong to prevent future wars and
preclude all provocations which
might lead to war"
| The Chamber ofDeputies discuss
ed the report of the special commit
tee ON Reparation for War Damage.
| and adopted twenty articles of tht
| report during the forenoon session
/ The expenses of France, the re
port says, will be enormous and the
| burden should lie entirely on Ger
many. Reparation for France mus
be claimed with the right of priori
ty because of it's urgent character
It is admitted that Germany ma,
| not be able to pay Immediately IL
cash or raw materials. and it is de
clared that France, therefore, mus
work out a financial plan in ordel
to permit reconstruction of various
phases of French life to contiut

man of the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee, has asked the Chamber tt

FRANCO-BRITISH
BILL IMPRACTICAL?

Paris, April, 11.-While the
members of the British and French
Parliament are mobilizzingfora pro
posal to enact nothing less than full
indemnification of the allies by
Germany for all the costs of the war
and are insisting on Germany's
ability to pay the full bill, the Ann
erican representatives on the re-
parations commission express con-
siderable doubt whether even the &C
count to be presented to Germany
under the plan adopted by the coun-
Gil of four ESTIMATED at about $45,-
0O0,OOO,00O with the payment
spread over a period of thirty
years. can or will be collected in
full.
American View is Practical.
They assert they can see the pos
sibility that the ways and means
of holding Germany to payment will
grow weaker as the years pass and
that Germany may take oppor-
tunity in later years to repudiate
her obligations to the present allied
powers under the peace treaty. They
recall the action of Russia in repud-
iating the restrictive Black Sea
clauses of the treaty imposed at the
conclusion of the Crimean war at a
moment when new political con-
stellation in Europe gave the EN-
peror of Russia fair amount of
certainty that Russia could do this
with impunity.
Fer this reason the American and
other delegates on reparations have
opposed a new proposal which the
French brought in to specify labor
and other acquisitions for the res
toration of the devastated French
provinces in the first few years af-
ter peace, maintaining this revived
the principle of prior y as between
the various creditors of Germany.
which had been rejected by the
commission and the council of four.
They argued that France in this
way might receive .disproportion-
ately a large share of her claims in
the first years while the ability of
the associated governments to en-
force payments was still good and
that other states, dependent upon
later payments in money and ma
terials, might be left "holding the
bag il Germany proved recalci-
trant.
The difficulty probably will be
met by the French offer to account
to the other countries for the cash
value of labor, materials, cattle and
other things exacted for the restora-
ton Of the nine northern prov
inces.
German Labor to Help Rebuild.
Germany although her prisoners
will be released at the end of the ar
mistice, probably will be required
in the peace settlement to provide
a part of the labor needed for re-
building of devastated regions as
well as labor at home in the manu-
facture of production of materials
to be used in restoration work.

HE SPOKE FEELINGLY.

Paris, April 12.-Three hundred
members of the French Chamber of
Deputies have signed a manifesto
asserting themselves as favorable
to resolution which will propose
full restitution and execution from
the enemy of the full cost of the
war and placing the responsibility
for the greatest crime in all history.
The resolution will ask that the
Peace Treaty and the League of Ma
tions require ample military
strength to prevent future wars.
Paris, April 12.-Discussion of
the Monroe Doctrine amendment by
the League of Nations commission
last night is described by those
present as having been of dramat
ic character, concluding with
speech by President Wilson repre-
eating the opposition which had
been expressed and upholding the
doctrine as one of the great bull
warks against absolutism. The de-
bate came late in the session, after

on.
The British attitude had been in
doubt until the last, but Lord Rob-
pert Cecil turned the scales by an
nouncing that he saw no objection
to the amendment in the form pre-
sented by the President.
M. Larnaude, of the French dele
gation,' followed Lord Roberts with
objections to inserting the Monroe
Doctrine.
The Chinese also offered objec-
tion to the amendment on the
ground that it's language was so ex-
tended that it might validate GER
tain principles and claims affecting
Chinese affairs.
The President paid the closest
attention to the opposition to the
for IL reply. In his speech the Pres
ident spoke with great earnestness
and with some evidence of feeling.
He declared the Monroe Doctrine

One of its great purposes, he said
was to maintain territorial and po
1itical integrity and, having served
its great purpose in the western

was a source of surprise and dis
