COMMUNITY
 XMAS TREE
 FOR SEWARL

If the bachelors and everybody eI.
 Come through" in good shape, Sc
 is going to have a communl
 lristmas tree for the children
 ward. This means that every lit
 oy and every little girl is going
 Ither around a great big tree son
 ght before Christmas, listen to (
 Ike part in program, and then Sai l Claus will deliver presents to thos lildren attending.
 The idea for a community Chris las tree in Seward originated yeste ay afternoon at the meeting of tI eward Women's club of Seward. Tn adies were enthusiastic over the pro position and when the ladies get e. husiastic, it is time for the others ', ustle or get trampled upon. The Tad es called up Rev. Carter and asked lim if the community Christmas tree could be held in conjunction with the tree exercises always given by tho Methodist Church Sunday school, anG he said it could.
 Then she ladies called up the Gate way and asked if the proposition sounded good and if the Gateway would help.
 "Betcha," was the answer.
 "All right came back the answer "we will start a subscription list for funds to purchase candy, little pres ents, etc, and you put the Women's club of Seward down for S10."
 "Betcha, the ten spot is down in the little book, and there you are.
 Everybody's doin' it, or rather ". cry town and every city that amounts to anything, has its community Chri5'-- mas tree, and now Seward is going to have one.
 The presents will not be elaborate just something to please rne young boys and girls, and the older boys and girls, and that is why the subscription list it t: be started and the list of don ors and the amounts are going to be published every day.
 Every boy and girl, in Seward whether pagan, Catholic, Episcopal, Baptist, Presbyterian, Chinese, Japan csc, native, Seventh Day Adventist or Congregationalist will be asked Go attend the community Christmas tree at the Methodist church and if the church is too small, there will be an overflow meeting place somewnere else But all of this is going to re- uuire a little money, not millions, like IS used to elect United States Senat- or, but just fair sized poke.
 Now, everybody, don't fall over yourselves getting to the Gateway of flee in double quick time, but take It easy and come gradually, but soon.
 The list will be opened in the Gate ways office Monday morning at 10 o'clock and if need be, extra help vii! be secured to help Miss Aldoren Carl son, who will take down the names and the amount and when the time comes turn the latter over to the pro per committee which will spend the money judicially so that every boy and girl in Seward will get something and remember the first community Christ mas tree in Seward.
 Four bits, six bits, $1, any amount will be taken for the aid of the com munity Christmas tree.

GREAT FEELING
 AGAINST REGULAR
Want Congress to Put Ma tional Guard and Regulars
 on Equal Footing.

St. Louis, May 9.-FeeIing between adherents of the National Guard and the regular army today was brought to the front at the second days ses- sion of the National caucus of the American legion, composed of men and women who were in the military or naval service of the government during the war. Major Hamilton of New York presented a resolution urg- ing that congress place the National Guard and the regular army on an equal footing, and charges were made that National Guard officers in France had been discrinInated against in favor of regulars. In addi- ton, various. delegates tried to re- strict the personnel of the legion to men not in the regular army.
 In regard to membership, feeling against the regulars was evident among the delegates, but the general sentiment seemed to be that no final action should be taken in order not to affect the many men who are still

together with the din of horns of the automobiles greeted the wonderful scene. It Is estimated that over 65. GOO people were in the park to witness the display of fireworks at the grand Jubilee. If there were less or more, makes little difference; but 1t is safe to say that Seaside Park saw the greatest amount of persons last night for the first time in the history of the city.

 work with order and precision. Po- licemen, letter carriers, post office clerks and firemen combined in as sisting the general committee in the selling of the large amount of tickets, nearly 6600O in all. Fire Chief Daniel E. Johnson, MT. Suclley and Post

 Tho very heavens, the slowly nov Ing moon, and the sparkling stars must have shook nervously at the bursting stars which formed a some what milky way, as they gradually disappeared from view, dying out in their blazing path. Probably the most interesting of all were the miniature Nattleshtpa, and the two clowns on wheels running over a planet. The beautiful stars, the American flag and the elaborate statue of Liberty were the prettest sights ever seen in this city.

WILL HUN SIGN PEACE QUESTION
No Information Available As to Attitude of
 Delegates.

Versailles, Thursday, May S-fBy the Associated Press)-The question whether Germany will sign the treaty is ths pressing one of tho hour. It is impossible as yet to gain an indi- cation of the attitude of the German pIenipotentaries but information com ing from German sources indicates that the rt-Scheidemann govern ment is considering it's fate if 1t should accept such a drastic treaty. It may choose to refuse to sign the treaty and go down in a blaze of pa triotic glory.
 According to this information the greatest shock to the Germans was given by the formula establishing the frontier of Poland, giving as it does a great part of West Prussia and a considerable seacoast to Poland, in addition to large coal fields in upper | Silesia. When the German delegates left home they expected to hear rath- CT more moderated proposals regard l ing the Polish frontier and Danzig. The delegates also question the i possibility of Germany paying repa- ration to the extent laid down by the l treaty, and they doubt whether they 1 should sign clauses which they are said ostensibly to regard as impossi- ble of fulfllment- They object also | to the surrender of their entire mer- | cant1le fleet, arguing that this would i force them to pay an additional in- 1 demnity to England in freight for every ton of raw material imported manufactured and exported under the virtual British monopoly of ocean tonnage which they assume would soon follow the elimination of the German mercantile fleet.
 1 Due consideration is naturally given l the fact that the declaration tha' Germany would refuse to sign the l peace unless the conditions were greatly modified in her favor may | possibly have been put out just now | with the object of influencing the ne.
 gotiations and that 1t is not neces
 sarily conclusive.
 Experts attached to the Inter-Al
 lied conference who have just re
 turned from Germany where they en deavored to obtain material for definite verdict on this subject be
 Iieve however, that a refusal by tn
 present governme to sign is not i'm
 possible. They expect that in thi
 case the existing government would
 fall immediately and be succeeded b,
 an independent soc1allst goVernmen
 which would sign any treaty present
 ed without, however, any intention 0
 binding itself by It's signature or o | observing the conditions if the op
 portunity arose to> disregard them.
 Despite the decision that no ora
 negotiations should be permitted,
 is expected here that discussions o 1 some phases of the treaty may talk place and rooms at the Trianon Pal
 ace hotel are being neld in readines
