ference of German political leaders
and German peace delegates at Spa
on Sunday agreed that the peace
terms are unacceptable, according
to a German semi official statement,
and that Germany will leave no
stone unturned in an attempt to
find a practicable basis of peace
which takes into account our oppo-
nents' justifiable demands and those
capable of being borne and carried
out by the German people"
Berlin. May 20.-The German re-
ply to the peace terms will be hand
ed to the representatives of the
Allied and associated powers Thurs
day, the Tageblatt says. The contents

of President Wilson's fourteen points.

mans to make a reply to the peace
treaty, will expire Thursday.

Gentlemen of the Congress:
II deeply regret my inability be present at the

gress. 1t still to be my duty to take part in
the counsels of the Peace Conference and contrib
ute what I the solution of the innumerabe
questions to whose settlement it has had to address

peace of the whole world and from them there
fore, the United States cannot stand apart. /
deemed it my duty to call the Congress together
at this time because it was not wise to postpone
longer the provisions which must be made for the
support of the Government. Many of the appro-
priations which absolutely necessary for the
maintenance of the Government and the fulfillment
of its varied obligations for the fiscal year 1919
1920 have not yet been made; the end of the pres
ent hscal year is at hand, and action upon these
appropriations longer be prudently delayed.
1t is necessary, therefore that should Immediately
call your attention to this critical need. 1t is
hardly necessary for to that it may receive
your prompt attention.
Pressing Problems
Il shall take the liberty of addressing you on
my return on the subjects which have most
engrossed our attention and the attention of the
world during these last anxious months, since the
armistice of last November signed-the inter-
national settlements which must form the subject
matter of the present treaties of peace and
national action in the immediate future. 1t would
be premature to discuss them to express a
judgment about them before they brought to
their complete formulation by the agreements
which being sought at the table of the
Conference. 1 shall hope to lay them before you
in their many aspects arrangements
have been reached.
Il hesitate to venture any opinion or press any
recommendation with regard to domestic legisla-
ton while absent from the United States and out
of daily touch with intimate sources of informa-
ton and counsel I am conscious that 1 need,
after so long absence from Washington, to seek
the advice of those who have remained in con-
slant contact with domestic problems and who
have known them close at hand from day to day,

me to do so. But there are several questions

A JOINT HOSPITAL

OW that Senator Smiths bill
M giving Dauphin county and the
- city of Harrisburg authority to
erect a joint hospital for contagious
diseases. has been approved by the
Governor, the first step toward
Colonel Martins plans for Harris
burg as a model city from the stand
point of health and sanitation has
been taken. The Chamber of Com
merce, following repeated recon-
mendations by Dr. Raunick to city
council undertook the promotion of
this much-needed improvement fol-
lowing the influenza epidemic last
fall and has made it the leading
item in it's lately formulated public
health program. But the work has
been no more than started. Great
care must be exercised in the selec-
ton of a site, in the architecture of
the building and in the formulation
of plans for its joint construction
and maintenance, in order that the
interests of both city and county may
be conserved. The new hospital must
be a model. Nothing but the best
will suffice. Better a few more
thousands of dollars expended at
this time than the rebuilding of the
hospital ten years from now.

Sendte'S Tredty-Making PoWer

Anyone who cares to examine
into the history of the matter and
into precedents will find that the
power of the Senate to amend a
treaty while ratifying it is not only
unquestioned but that it has been
frequently exercised.
The Senate in 1890 ratified the
African slave trade convention and
made certain reservations which 1t
set forth. 1t did likewise In 1906
when 1t ratified the Algeciras con-
vention. The treaties went into eff
feet and the United States was bound
by them up to the points where IT
made reservations. In one case, the
other nations formally assented and
in the other assented by implication
to the reservations.
Nothing could be more absurd
than to suppose that If the United
States made reservations to protect
it's own sovereignty. as the Senate
has the full right to do, the peace
treaty, as a whole, would be jeop-
ardized.

A YANKEE DID 1T

GCORE another for the American
Navy. Its unsurpassed record
~ of achievement on the sea and
under the sea has been matched by
Commander Reeds feat of crossing
the Atlantic in the air. First to
launch and use the steamboat, first
to make use of the ironclad ship,
first to develop the monitor and the
revolving ferret, first TO evolve
workable submarine, the Navy comes
forward with another triumph by
sending a heavier than air machine
hurting through the ether from
America to Europe in actual flying
time of a little more than twenty
four hours.
Hawkers attempt was spectacular
and daring. Reeds was no less dar-
ing, but his calculations were work.
ed out on a scientific basis His
chances of failure were reduced to a
minimum; all the possible factors of
success were taken into considera-
tion and carefully worked out to the
advantage of the airmen. Method
and system won out where mere in
dividual initiative and the hope of
accomplishing miracle failed.
Reeds name will go down in his
tory. His fame for all time is as
sured.
But more important than that, it
has been demonstrated that man is
at last master of the air and that
Europe has been reduced to a days
journey from America. The heavier
than air machine is in its infancy.
Shortly, it may be forecasted, trips
across the ocean will be as fire.
quent as flights over the English
channel are to-day. With that
thought in mind it behooves us to
be considering means of combating
a possible peril from the air some
day when hostile European coun-
try may decide to drop in upon us
by way of the clouds. Perhaps some
such idea may have been back of the
Navys elaborate experiment.
