Provision Decided on By Su-

THE TERMS FOR GERMANY
No More To Be Built Until Peace
comes-creek Claim on Thrace
rcsented-Armenian Reject
Turkish Rule.

Paris.-Germany must deliver all
airplanes to the Allies and must pro-
hibit the construction of other air
planes until the conclusion Of peace,
the Supreme War Council decided in
adopting the aerial terms to be inn
posed on Germany in the preliminary
peace. The terms do not decide the
future fate of the airplanes, which
may either be destroyed or divided
among the Allies.
The British and American dele
gates brought UP the question of a
distinction between commercial
aerial navigation, which will be au-
thorized for Germany after conclu-
sion of peace under certain guaran-
tees, and military aerial navigation,
which will be prohibited. The coun-
ell decided to send an aeronautic
commission to Germany to inyesti-
gate the question of commercial
aerial navigation. Deputy Aubigny,
OF the French Chamber, will be chair
man.

There is divergence in the views
Of the members of the commission
investigating the responsibility for
the war on several important points.
according to the Temps. AS to
whether the former German Emperor
and other heads of enemy states
should be brought to trial is a ques-
ton on which division of opinion
exists, while the matter of an in
ternational tribunal or military tri-
bunals for Judging those charged
with violations of the rights of ma
lions during the war has not been
settled.
The American delegates have OPP
posed an international tribunal,
pointing out that the United States
was not belligerent during the
whole period when such violations
were committed. A possible solution
has been under consideration-the
appointment of military tribunals
composed of officers of different ma
tionalities.

ON PAR WITH SWISS.

Military Germany will go
out of existence as the result of the
adoption by the Supreme Council Of
the military terms OF German dis
armament as they will 50 into the
peace treaty These terms provide
for sweeping reduction of the Ger
man military establishment down to
100, 600 men with 1000 officers, the
army to be recruited by the volun-
tary system for the period of twelve
years. The effect of this is to limit
Germany's military strength to less
than the number of men Switzerland
has in her army.
Marshal Foch favored the change,
as the consumption plan providing
for 100000 men serving one year
terms would have given Germany a
trained army of 100000 men in ten
years.
As against this Mr.. Lloyd George
proposed to fix the enlistment term
at twelve years. Marshal Foch en-
bodied this in his report, which pro-
posed an army of 100000 men, but
the council finally adopted an amend
ment further reducing this figure to
The progress that has been made
with the work of forming the peace
treaty ensures the completion of the
task by March 20. 1t is the present
purpose of the Peace Conference to
call the Germans to Versailles soon
after March 90, probably from March
% to March %. The document then
will be delivered to the German dele
gates and in case they are not pre-
pared to sign it at once they will be
given the opportunity to return to
Germany to consider it and return
for the formal signing at Versailles.

First Death From The Disease In
New York.


New York.
New York.-The first death in this
city from sleeping sickness" was re-
ported to the Health Department.
Erskine w. Martin, clerk, 35 years
of age, became ill FIVE days ago, went
to sleep a day later, and remained in
q state of coma until he died, ac-
cording to the attending physician.
Health Commissioner Copeland, de-
claring only 18 cases of the malady
had been reported in Europe and
three others in this country. of which
two had been fatal said there was no
cause for alarm. The symptoms, he
added, were sore throat, headache
and drowsiness, but these. in mild
degree, might also be accompani-
ments of spring fever.
DR.. Copeland explained that the
disease, known as encephalitis lethar-
gica or epidemic coma, should not be
confused with sleeping sickness,
which is limited to tropical Africa
and is transmitted by the tsetse fly.
He said there are eight suspected
cases in New York, all in. private
homes.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured


by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Ia
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.

when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to- its nor

forever. Many cases Of Deafness are

TOO EFFICIENT TO
 GET OUT OF SERVICE

Washington, February 24.-(Special) There is such a thing as making too good. At any rate, it is easier for an ordinary man to get out of the army than one who has rendered signal service.
 The commanders of camps will refuse to let a good accountant or an especially proficient stenographer. or an expert on ice or hay or coal escape. The excuse invariably is, q can't spare this man"
 Take Dr. Prince of Birmingham. He vertically broke into the service. He was entitled to majority, but failing to get that rank, accepted a captaincy. He wanted to serve his country. He was sent to camp, and there with fine enthu- siasm got to work At his skill and in dustry, men n1arveled.
 When the war came to an end pr. Prince wanted to go home. He was needed al home. And there is quite diff ference in the salary paid captain and the money a surgeon of his ability always makes
 | But he can't go. He has made too good. He can't be spared. Others are released. | But Dr. Prince is retained. Members of Congress have protested, but to no avail. | And there is another similar case. Cap l tain McGruder son-in-law of Dr. Cum ningham Wilson, wants to go home. He
 has been in England and France. He has
 rendered very efficient service in hospi- | tals in both countries He has now re-
 turned to the United States. But he made i too good He can't get his freedom. | These cases are not exceptions. There are thousands of them throughout the country While the attitude of the gov | ernment is understood, and is known tt ] be based on reason, still it is a ques- l ton if that attitude does not put a prem l ium on inefficiency.

be compelled to buy a considerable part of the equipment they need in the United States. Mir Arnold was one of those who took part in the preliminary convention at New Orleans. He was so impressed by the proposition that he set forth a plan for the organization of Mississippi bank for foreign trade. An institution of that kind, he said, would furnish the financial assistance needed for foreign trade development and he hoped that all the banks which do business in the valley and which are interested in foreign trade devel- opment would become members of an institution of that kind. Reclamation and drainage will be needed as well as proper protection along the rivers. With respect to ships an encouraging word was said by Bainbridge Colby, commissioner of the United States shipping board intimating that there speedily will be fleet avail able for regular trade routes from American ports and suggested that business interests in the valley pre- pare to furnish cargoes for these fleets
 Probably the greatest foreign trade which originates in the Mississippi valley will be carried to Mexico, Cen tral America and South American ports. The Mississippi Valley Water way Association is especially interest ed in making suitable for commerce not only the Mississippi river but also the Illinois. the Ohio and the Missouri rivers. For when this is done a very large commerce can be floated upon these waters to and from the MissiS- sippi river to and from St. Louis and New Orleans

Developing Trade
 Along Mississippi
By HOLLAND

New York, February A.-(specia) Sometime in April there will gather at Chicago a considerable company of men who are members of the Missis- sippi Valley association. This o-gani- zation is seeking so to develop com merce upon the Mississippi river as to make it possible for that nation bisect- ing stream to become a great com merce bearer not only for domestic but also for the markets of the world.
 This meeting, which is to be the first annual meeting of the organization. may be sitting at Chicago at the time ing its sixth annual gathering there Both organizations have common purpose. They are seeking to expand our foreign commerce. The members of the organizations realize that pros- perity in the United States involving especially the employment of labor Is to depend in a considerable measure upon the increase in international trade. A few weeks ago the Missis- sippi valley foreign trade convention held a meeting at New Orleans. The TeSultS oI lHlS gathering may WltHiH q few years be demonstrated in a grati- flying way by reason of the increased foreign commerce which originates in the Mississippi valley including that of the Ohio. A little over 100 years ago it was the Mississippi river rather than the adjacent territory which in spired President Jefferson to accept the proposition that the United States pay $15.000,000 for the Louisiana ter rtory. In the course of time the com merce upon the Mississippi by reason of the construction of railroads be- gan to dwindle as it did upon the

Little Stories Of the

When the conference report on the post office appropriation bill was before the House for indorsement, certain republic ans made fight on the Bankhead amend ments appropriating big sums-in two years to approximate 800, 900, ,0o0-for the construction of good roads.
 The fight was short lived, The vote came and it was overwhelming-26l to 70 in favor of the amendments. Senator Bankhead was much gratified, although two southerners, Garrett of Tennessee and Bell of Georgia voted nay"
 In course of the fight some one, de- lending the amendments, declared that the good road legislation would offer em- ployment to many American soldiers fol- lowing demobilization.
