spelling reform, Sir Robert Borden,

an English periodical the story of
lady whose spelling was somewhat err

reply, "if yod are going to use any you

ter handed him in suit for di-
vorce brought by Mrs. Sarah A.
Bailey against Willard S. Bal

she had received the letter. Con
ME Hennessey was the alleged
writer.
The Judge scowled and then
smiled.
"This is the silliest letter
ever read in a divorce court" he
announced. Here's the champion
"silly letter."
"I thank God that you are so
happy and that l am also. 1t

is not far off, sweet love, and
then, love, kisses and hugs and

The letter was written on sta
tionery covered with little cup

GOVERNMENT JOBS

|. Victory bonds and why we
should buy them were features
brought forcibly to the atten-
ton of Ncgales folks yesterday
noon when an airman bearing
the famous names Wilbur
Wright winged his way into
or rather over-Nogales in an
all-American DeHaviland -four"
biplane equipped with the fam
Gus American Liberty motor.
Lieutenant Wright, while not
kin to his namesake who first
flew an airplane, is noted for
numerous records in cross-coun-
try flying. To boost the sale of
Victory bonds he piloted his
good ship Victory from San Die
60 to Nogales, stopping en- route
at Yuma and Tucson.
The whistles announcing his
departure from Tucson drew out
the population, and those who
reached the Athlete field early
enough to see the plane land
witnessed what local aviators
claim the prettiest landing ever
made by a big plane in a small
field.
Before the departure of the
airship for Tucson, Attorney
Frank Barry introduced Lieut..
Wright to the crowd, and the
lieutenant urged that Victory
bonds be bought up to the limit
Of each persons bankroll. Cor
porai Arthur w. Kinsel, who
flew with the pilot as mechanic
"a most important and neces-
sary human equation of an air
plane in long-distance flight
praised Noga1es and announced
his eagerness to see the Victory
bond go over the top SO that the
boys in service yet might be
promptly released and returned
to civil life with a pocketful of
change.

Last night the supreme eco

under the Craftsmanship Of Lord
Robert Cecil, of the British min
Iistry of commerce, and took in
to consideration many impor-
tant subjects that will have
more or less influence in deter
mining the operation of various
provisions in the peace treaty.
Among other matters consi-
dered was the course to be
maintained should the German
commissioners refuse to sign
the treaty. A plan was formu-
lated to isolate Germany econo-
mically, in that case it would
renew the blockade that has
been lifted only recently.
Furthermore the council de-
cided upon relaxation of many
of the restrictions still imposed
upon Germany should her dele
cation sign the treaty.

SPECIAL SESSION

EIGHTEENTH
Omitted Press serviee)

WASHINGTON, May To
day President Wilson cabled
from France a call for a special
session of Congress to convene
on Monday, May 19.
The main objects of the ses-
sion are assumed to be provls-
ion for appropriations that fail
ed at the end of the session OF
the last Congress, which ad-
iiourned without enacting large
part of the regular approprla--
ton bills for support OF the
Government, but without doubt
ratification of the peace treaty
by the Senate, and the covenant
Of the League of Nations, will
be a large part of the business
before the upper branch of Con-
gress, and appropriations neces-
sary for carrying the treaty in
to effect, and for contributions
for support of the League OF
Nations will be given much at
tention in both houses.
Of course it is expected that
President Wilson will return
from France to be in Washing
ton at the opening of the special
session, but it is anticipated
that he will reach here. before
it can be brought to a close.

PARIS, May AT Versail-
les today, with simple yet inn
pressive ceremony, an official
copy of the proposed treaty of
peace between the Allied ma
tions that have conducted the
war against Germany and Ger
many was handed the German
delegation in the Peace Confer
ence.
AS outlined in United Press
dispatches heretofore the cere.
mony took place in the hall of
the Petit Trianon palace, known
also as the Hotel Trianon, and
it was witnessed by representa-
tives of twenty-seven nations.
The instrument is described
as the longest treaty ever franz
ed, and numbers some 10000
words, and is divided into fifteen
principal sections, one of which
embraces the pact known as a
League of Nations, the object of
which is to preserve peace and
prevent war in the future.
The text of the treaty is in
French and English, on opposite
pages. 1t is not printed in Ger
man.
The terms of the treaty mark
the end of the military and nav
al power Of Germany, as it de
prives her of her great fleet, re-
duces her army to nominal size,
and places about her such re
stl'ictions that she may not build
herself again to a POSITION such
as would make hel a menace to
the other nations Of Europe. The
great system of defensive for
tresses, including Heligoland, is
to be dismantled.
The Kiel Canal is to be neut-
rallied.
| Economically also the propos-
ed treaty will hedge about Ger
many such restrictions that she
will be prevented from exploit
| ing her resources in a way that
would render a dangerous COM
petitor of other nations.
Adjustment of boundaries is
another important part of the
treaty as it reduces materially

stores to France Alsace and Lor.

inces, and to Czecho-Slovakia

man military operations. In this
connection it is understood that
the German delegates draw q

and indemnity, constructing the
latter to mean punitive damag.
