cording to the statement made today

tary of development and agriculture.
The affirmation was made, however,
that the concessions We're fully author

constitution regarding the area, and
position OF the territory in relation to
the ocean shore and the frontier line.
Denies Injury to Monroe Doctrine.
There was nothing in the conces-
sions, it was asserted by the under sec
retary, that might lead to difficulties
as far as the Monroe doctrine was con-
cerned.
Reports that there is a possibility Of
international controversy over the

WAR OR.ATORY
 NEEDS CENSORING.

Accuracy and war Oratory are very
 often at odds, states The Home Sec tor. the eX-soldier's magazine con- ducted by the former editorial coun- cil of The Star and Stripes.
 Representative James II. May, of Utah, discoursing in Congress, gave. the following graphic picture of what did not happen at Chateau -Thierry: At this juncture, the Second Divi- sion, including the famous Marines, were thrown into the breach. and the heroic manner in which they per- formed was the wonder of the cam paign. They declined to retreat, al- though advised by French officers to do so; instead they met the Prussian Guards in the open, as they advanced with bands playing, in regular col urnn formation, goose-stepping toward the city"
 The ex-soIdiers' magazine comments on the rosy picture drawn by the Utah congressman as follows: There are only seven things. wrong with Con gressman Mays statement. Two divisions--not the Second alone were thrown into line, the French never advised them to retreat, the enemy troops they met just then were not of the Prussian Guard, and the Germans did not advance with bands playing nor in column formation, nor goosestepping. and they were not headed for any city in particular"

SUBLET.

The restless individuality of tn. American soldier, who was always seeking a shorter way to do things, made him appear to the French and British as hopelessly undisciplined. Even in battle the doughboy hated to follow precedent
 A unit of the 18th Division, press ing on under shell-f1re in the battle of the Meuse-Argonne finally stop ped under orders to dig in as fast as possible. In a few moments dirt was flying along the whole line.

 'Sh-h don't excite my contra ctor," the doughboy replied.

During the confusion neither MT or Mrs. Willard secured the license num- Der of Clark's automobile, but several passersby attempted to distinguish r.. as the machine hurried away in the darkness. Two people who were nearby secured numbers, but they differed slightly. Both. however, were handed to the police of the Dix well avenue station, and an investiga- ton started, and Clarll's arrest fo.- lowed

TRENCH STOVE HEATS
 DRESSIAKERS' ROOM

Vive Ia France. She will not give Up her art of dressmaking, or her fame as dressmaker, though ruins abound, dummies and all other i'm pIeme1ts of the trade are devastated.
 This is the word brought back by Grace Richardson of St. Paul, Minn., and by Mary G. Dixon of Balt3r1 ore, Md, both of the American Y. ". c. A. overseas, who have just returned from a trip through 12 of the devas- tated towns of France, visiting mem bers of the Union Chretienne des Jeunes F'iIles, an organization work ing in cooperation with the Aneri- can Y. W. c. A.
 It was in kOherges that they wit messed the triumph of French dress making. A girl of 23 had come back to the village to start 8 dressm akng shop. She set up her esta bIishment in the basement of one of her neigh bor's houses. heating it with a stove which she had gotten out of the trenches. For equipment she had two ''devastated'' dummies.
 This same girl was the leader of quite a large group of girls in the town who just before the war had made for their club a very beautiful silk bag. One of the members took it with her when she evacuated and the day that Miss Dixon and Miss Richardson were there they raffled the bag off to raise money to send to missions in the Congo, The town Hymn books and benches in the church had been used for fuel.
 Miss Richardson says: "In Wallin- court we went into the home of the pastor, where twenty-five girls had gathered to meet us They had gone through bombardment and evacuation as well as German occupation. The only piano left in the town was that in the pastors house Everything seemed to have been torn down and yet these, girls gathered around the piano and sang Count Your Bless funny. There was no element of self pity in them. It is a very courageous town.

One girl told us how sine Had gone out one day into her own garden to pick blackberries enough for he~ own family and had been put in prison for ten days for it.

CRISIS APPEARS TO BE FACING
 DUTCH GOVT

The Hague. Dec. 22-Post war de- fense problems, closely allied with the problematical result of the form ation of the League of Nations, have brought about what appears to be q crisis in the Dutch government.
 Closely following the resignation of Jonkheer By1eviId, Minister of Mar inc, last week. Aiting Van Geusan, Minister of War, announced his res ignation today when the Dutch states generally amended his war budget and greatly reduced the sums available for munitions The budget generally provided for an army of the approximate strength of 100000. While the present government had taken a stand that the world situa- ton was still delicate and necessitated q a large army. socialist members, led by Deputy Marchant, opposed the budget on the theory that the League of Nations would end the necessity for large ornaments.

\ MYSTIFIED FRESHMAN.

The mystery ships were so effect lively disguised that even the most ex- perienced eyes could not discover their real character. For weeks they could lie in dock, the dockmen never suspecting that they were armed to the teeth. Even the pilots who went aboard to take them into harbor never discovered that they were not the merchant ships which they pretended to be. Captain Hanrahan, who com manded the American mystery ship Santee, based on Queenstown, once entertained on board an Irishman from Cork. The converse ton which took place between this American naval officer-who, in his disguise, was indistinguishable from tramp skipper of many years experience disclosed the complete ignorance of the guests concerning the true char acter of the boat.
 How do you like these Ameri- cans?" Captain Hanrahan innocently asked.
 They are eating us out of house and home!" the indignant Irishman remarked. The information was a little inaccurate, since all our food supplies were brought from the United States; but the remark was reassuring as proving that the ships disguise had not been penetrated Admiral Sims in the Worlds Work for January.

Report Shows Back to
 Farm Movement Progress

According to a report just issued by the Vocational Summary it ap- pears that the back to the farm movement has started in earnest.
 The report states that 1859 pu- pills over the country were enrolled in agricultural subjects in vocational schools during 1918 and 1919.
 The report further states that this is an increase of 4 ,442 students being trained in this subject. It is inter esting to note that this is only the second year in which practical in- struction of this sort has been with in reach of the average child Of school age.
 The Bureau of Census approxi- mates an increase of one million farms in the United States during the last ten years. This increase, to- gether with the increase of scientifi- caIly trained men to operate them. has secured the future of agricultural America.
