FIRST SESSION Of
PEACE CONGRESS
BEGIN SERIES OF CONFERENCES
BEFORE REGULAR SESSIONS
ARE HELD.
New Terms for the Extension OF
German Armistice Have Been
Drawn up by Experts Of the
Allies and United States,

Paris.-The first actual session Of
the peace congress was held on Jan.
uary 13, although it is officially desig.
mated as one of the series of converse
lions for laying the groundwork for the
structure which will later be presented
TO the formal assembly Of the dele
gates of all the nations.
These conversations will take up de-
tails of the program TO be carried out
what subjects will be considered at the
meetings, the roles of expert advisers
and the order in which various mat
tiers will be considered.
Nothing has developed to alter the
statement that the American delegates
are primarily concerned with the Gre
alton of a league of nations and the
making of just peace. Territorial
ambitions, local quarrels and rivalry
for economic advantages among the
European delegates are secondary in
the minds of the Americans.
Reports that the American delega-
ton has agreed on a working plan for
league of nations and that Ii will be
one of the first things TO be Iald be-
fore the congress have been current
in Paris All outward evidences in
official quarters point In the other d.
rection. Ii is known that as late as
President Wilson's return from Italy
he was not prepared to lay down a
working plan, and that he preferred
to have other plans originating among
the entente delegates offered first
The first business before the supreme
council was the new terms for the ex-
tension of the German armistice. The
terms had been formally drawn up AT a
meeting Monday morning OF military,
naval, economical and financial ex-
perts of the allies and the United
States. The morning meeting, which
was presided over by Marshal Foch,
reached Il complete agreement on the
new armistice terms.

city while the British bombed them.
He had seen his friends, people once
wealthy and of high birth, sent out to
dig trenches, to bury the dead and to
cultivate and weed the fields. For two
years he had only soup and cocoa for
his dinner and semi-monthly allow

entitled as seamen of the United

Years ago, in the days of the clipper
ship. and even since that time. the SICK
or disabled American sailor at sea or
in a foreign port had no resource but
the charity of his captain or ship
mates. Od-time shippers generally
prescribed and supplied blue pill and
the crews were not burdened with
funds to lend.
Narrowing tales have been told OF
those dark days of the merchant ma
rine, of men forced to lie for weeks
in cramped, foul-smelling forecastles,
often beset by rats and without proper
food, light, air or clothing.
If the man lived until the ship
reached port some sort of care might
be provided for him, but hundreds
died, were buried at sea; their toys

records of the city which he hid in
1914 when the Huns swept across Bel
GUM and invaded northern France.
AS a judge of tribunal or cOur'
of Cambria, Bergier refused TO leave
his post when the German hor,ies
poured through his country In August.
1914. BY trick OF chance he had
just sent his wife and three daughters
10 Boulogne-sur- Mer. on she coast OF
France, for holiday and was plan
ming to join them early IN September.
The meeting was deferred just four
years. He was captured. but was
spared the bitterness Of seeing his
family subjected to the humiliations
which came to the other women of
Cambria. His wife and daughters at
once volunteered for hospital service
and worked so heroically for three
years that they were decorated by the
French government with the medal
"des epidemies ct du devouement."
The story which Bergier brought
back was one OF want and suffering.
The Germans held him as hostage so
he was not maltreated. Whenever the
city was bombed, however. he was
sent with three other judges, also held
as hostages. to sit In the railway sta
tons so that they would be killed II
the traffic centers were destroyed.
The people Of the city who did not
hold official positions were treated
more summarily. The women were
all made to do mental work of some
kind, such as sweeping the streets

that an exchange had been effected
and he was TO return to France. He
would be permitted to take with him

Uncle Sam Will Take Good Care
of His Merchant
Crews.
sEAMAN'S BOTTLE IS LATEST
Contains Passports to Good Health by
Providing Free Hospital Treat
ment Anywhere-Days of the
Docs Life Now History.

Washington.-Uncle Sam is getting
more watchful of the health of his
merchant crews as the great American
peace-time fleet continues to grow.
The latest innovation of the United
States shipping board in the "seaman's
bottle" which has now become one of
the cherished possessions of hundreds
of American seamen.
This little glass bottle, small enough
to be carried in the vest pocket, con-
tains passports to good health-print-
ed forms which, when filled out by a
ships captain, will gain admittance for
the holder to any United States ma
rine hospital or relief station of the
public health service in every impOr-
tant port in the United States. On a
foreign voyage the application will pro-
vide the seaman with the best medical
care, free of charge, on application to
the United States consular officer.
At present the bottle is being pro-
vided only for men who have been
trained for a sea career by the recruit
ing service of the shipping board, but
In the opinion of Surgeon General
Blue every American seaman should
have one.
1t is in port that the new "seaman's
bottle" which was originated by DR..
Louis W. Croke, medical director of
the shipping board recruiting service,
plays its chief part. A seaman in need
of medical attention has merely to dig
the bottle out of his kit, bring the
printed form to his skipper to be filled
out and then go ashore to the nearest
federal official.
Free Hospital Care.
The label which bears the imprint of
the boards recruiting service informs
the seafarer that he is entitled to free
hospital care no matter what his sta
ton aboard ship. The term "seamen,"
1t says, means not only the men who
are employed on deck but persons en-
ployed on board in the care, preserva-
ton or navigation of the ship, and 1t
even includes those who are In the
service, on board, of those engaged In
such care, preservation or navigation.
When discharged by the medical au-
thOrities the American seaman is
given free passage to the port from
which he originally signed. unless the
articles provide for discharge else
where. or If in foreign port to some
port in the United States. He must
serve on board the ship on which his
passage has been arranged if possible.
The "seaman's bottle" not only will
