Wilson May Ask
Pledge to France

Continued From Page One
imperiling the league of nations and the
whole work of the conference.
As seen from here the weakness be-
fore the American people of the pro-
posed agreement to come to the support
Of France will lie in the question of
how broad its scope may be. Little
doubt is felt here that the agreement
to aid France in case of aggression like
that in 1914 is extremely popular, but
SUPPOSE the enforcement of the treaty,
whose economic provisions afford large
opportunity for disputes, occasions hos
tilities between France and Germany,
will American opinion support an en-
gagement to come to the aid of France,
carrying out the present treaty?
An attack by Germany on France
under such circumstances undoubtedly
would be within the meaning of an
agreement concerning an unprovokcd
attack. But enforcement of the treaty
is likely to be largely IN the hands Of
France, and the question is that of the
extent to which American public opin-
ion would stand ready to back with
arms the enforcement of treaty by
another power.

NEED TONS or FOOD
FOR TROOPS TO EAT
rs Army TruckIoads Of Supplies
Required for Shibe
Park Lunch
10000 GALLONS OF BEEF

One thousand ten gallon containers
will be needed to carry the food to
Shibe Park to feed the 10000 soldiers
who will be given their lunch there on
Thursday following the parade.
Twenty five army trucks will be used
to help the canteen in getting materials
TO the park. y
Nineteen sides of beef, roasted. and
probably $4,000 potatoes. mashed and
seasoned to the queens taste,> will be
transported in thermos containers ready
Z to serve
I Two thousand gallons of coffee must
be prepared, so that each man gets a
pint.
Twelve hundred large loaves of sand
! wich bread must be sliced and made
into sandwiches, wrapped in oiled paper
and stamped with the canteen seal.
Nineteen thousand large chunks of
delicious sponge cake, with chocolate
! frosting, must be cut and wrapped
ready to hand to the soldiers in the
shortest possible time.
Until noon today the Red Cross can
teen expected to serve a light lunch,
but orders came from the headquarters
that special hot meal was to be given
in true canteen fashion.
This was large contract-larger
than the cantecn in Philadelphia has
ever filed. 1t is nothing in the days
events to serve $1,000 to 10000 men
with cold lunch, but heretofore only
100 men have been given hot meal
at one time.
Preparations will start at o'clock
tomorrow morning. Workers froGl
the branch and auxiliary canteens,
trained hospital and debarkation corps.
will work in eight hour shifts all day
and night.
There will be seventy five workers on
each shift to make the sandwiches and
cut the cake at the canteen headquari-
ters, Eighteenth and Locust streets.
Trained workers and helpers will
serve the dinner at Shibe Park as rap
idly as the lien can pass the serving
tables. It is estimated that from 100 to
$50 men can be served in one minute.
At this rate, three hours will pass be-
fore the whole 10 900 can be given their
rations.
4 One complication arises which the
cantecn is already preparing to meet.
The transport Peerless, with 221o men
on board, may arrive on Thursday, in
which case fifty cantcen workers will
have to be reserved for the debarka =
tion work.
The usual train service is expected
and fifty women will have to be kept
available for train work and another
fifty for hospital train service.
Mrs. George w. Childs Drexel, who
is director of the Red Cross canteen fog
Pennsylvania and Delaware, will be as
, sisted by Mrs. George B. Evans and
Mrs. George w. Boyd and other regular
cantcen workers.

SOLDIERS BAR BOLSHEVISM
Col. Herbert, Who Attacked Mayor
!. Thompson, Sees No Menace

Worcester, Mass, May 13.-(By A..
P.)-Colonel John F. L. Herbert, home
from the caucus of the American Legion
in st. Louis, says bolshevism in the
United States is doomed by the soldier
element. He says it was demonstrated
at the caucus that there is no place
under the stars and stripes for any
thing short of 100 per cent American
ism.
Referring to his speech at st. Louis
in which he attacked the alleged pro-
German tendency of Mayor Thompson,
of Chicago, he says he has since been
flooded with compliments for his cotir :
age by men who declare he did more
in few words toward cleaning Chicago
of its political filth than any agency
that has undertaken this work.
AS to the threatened suit by Mayor
Thompson, Colonel Herbert said: 1--WE

BIOLOGISTS DECLARE
DIAMONDS HIDE IN AMERICA

Washington, Biologists believe
that some day diamonds will be
mined on a very large scale in the
United States. They are confident
there are valuable diamond mines
hidden under this country, because
many loose diamonds have been found
in various sections. There must be
n parent lode, they say, and this is
believed to be either the Rocky
mountain or Appalachian range.
Regular diamond chimneys, like those
of South Africa were found in Ar
kansas in 1906. They were filled with
periododite, akin to the famous Kim
berlite of South Africa.
A farmer in Indiana, plowing a
gravelly hillside, found the first dia-
mond in America in 1887. More than
twenty diamonds have been found in
indiana in the last twenty years. and
one sold for $1,000. Other valuable
diamonds have been found in Vir-
ginia. North Carolina, Wisconsin,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Louisiana, Idaho, Texas, Montana,
Arizona and California. A laborer
working in an excavation in Man
chester, Va, found a stone Weighing
23% carats in 1855. Numerous stones.
weighing from to 213 % carats, have
been found in Wisconsin,

To watch a spider laying out the

securing it by stay-ropes, and spin
ming the concentric polygons that fill

placing structural timbers. The sense
of purpose is not less manifest in
one case than in the other.
Among the things that spiders
have found out, or were born with
an instructive knowledge of, is the
art of living under water in div

which constructs a subaqueous habi-

ing down a minute bubble at time.

ELECTRICAL JOBS FOR
DISABLED SOLDIERS

WashingtOn,-A returned soldier,
whatever his disability and whether
or not he has had previous experience,
will, If he is at all interested in the
subject of electricity, find some job
that will be suitable for him, so
great is the present demand for cleo
trical men. 1t is not surprising that
courses in electricity either in con-
struction, maintenance or repair, are
popular with disabled soldiers who
come to the Federal board for train
ing. There are at present IT'S men
taking courses in the general sub
ject of electricity, thirteen are study
ing bench work and sixty-one are
preparing to be electrical engineers
Disabled men can fill many posi-
tions in power plants, such as switch
board operators, substation operators,
combustion experts, attendants of
auxiliary machinery. Clerks, whose
duty it is to analyze and record the
daily operating charts and compile
them into cost records, are being
used more and more in electrical
plants.

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB WORK
THRIVES IN PHILIPPINES

Manila Boys and girls in the
Philippine islands are learning the
best way of producing corn and hogs
and other farm products in the same
kind of clubs that young people in
this country have. Altho the club
work has been in operation only
three years in the Philippines, 1t is
now important in every school, and is
considered by the superintendent of
agricultural extension of the islands
as the most productive of all the
lines of agricultural activities for
which the pupils receive school credit.
Last year there were 1855 agricultural
clubs in the islands. with a total en-
rollment of 1880 boys and girls.
These club members cultivated 270
acres of land planted to vegetables
and corn. They owned $500 chick
ems, 2,75O hogs. and cared for 1852
fruit trees.
