ORLANDO's STATEMENT

Paris, April 24.-Premier Orlando
issued lengthy statement today re-
plying to President Wilson, in which
the premier stated in so many words
he is compelled to withdraw from the
peace conference after President Will
sons action, which is regarded as a
departure from diplomatic customs
and leaves the Italians no other
course.

NO SECRET TREATIES

= Paris, April 23-(By the Associat-
ed Press.)-President Wilson's en-
phatic declaration that he will not
yield on the Adriatic question has
created the the most profound sensa-
ton in the peace conference. He has
thrown down the gauntlet to the sup
porters of secret treaties in manner
which almost took away the breath of
the delegates who have been urging
compromises on points covered by
many secret documents and at vari-
ance with the presidents fourteen
points.
President Wilson's sweeping decla-
ration, while aimed directly at the
Adriatic problems, also reaches the
Kiau Chau controversy, in which
Japan relies on secret agreements
kHfade with Great Britain, France and
Italy in 1917, to support her in her
claim to the concessions held by Ger
many in Shantung.

have! One would throw a rock, an
other a spear, another a ball of fire,
and two or three getting together
would hurl whole tree trunk; but
as soon as anything drew near him,
it leaped to one side or the other,
and refused TO strike him. Now,
wasn't that wonderful?
One day, as the young gods were
shouting over the way they couldn't

at her spinning wheel, asked what the
laughter and noise were about.

FELT NO DESIRE TO TRAVEL
Newly Elected President of Big New

Frank Hedley, newly elected presi-
dent of the marlborough Rapid Trans

of reporters summoned to his office
for a first interview that they would
find the Interborugh's new head the
same kind of rabbit that he was az
a switchman years ago. He also made
it plain that he hoped to keep tlrm
grip on his sense of humor.
"When do you leave for Hot
Springs?" asked a facetious reporter
at the close of the interview.
'Hot Springs? What do you meanF
inquired Hedley.
He was told that it was almost an
invariable rule for all men upon Deins

Hodur, who was so unhappy because
he could not see that he seldom smil-
ed, and almost never laughed.
why don't you play?" asked Loki.
"How can blind god play?" an
swered Hodur, sorrowfully.
Loki laughed loudly.
why, I'll show you how" he said.
"Stand here and throw this spear with
all your might"
Hodur took the spear, aimed it as
Loki directed, and hurled it with all
the power of his strong arm. 1t hiss
ed through the air; it struck; Baldur,
the god of sunshine, fell dead! The
forgotten little thing, the mistletoe,
had killed a god
Silently his body was put upon his
ship, and all was made ready for send
ing the vessel out to sea, as was the
custom among the gods. Then came
|, Mamma, his wife, to see him for the
last time; but when she saw the beau
tiful yellow hair about the white face
she could not bear the sight, and fell
dead beside him. And so. side by side,
they lay upon the great ship as 1t
was set afire and floated out into the
far-off ocean. And of evenings, when
the sun is going down, you yourself
may see Baldur's ship still burning in
| the distant west.
But all nature refused to be COM
forted; 1t mourned so bitterly that
Hela restored Baldur to life at Easter
time so that sunshine came back to
the world.
Moreover, to put the mistletoe on its
good behavior the gods decreed that
forever and forever 1t should be Frig-
gas sacred plant and evermore should
stand for friendship and love.
But that Loki might never have
anything to do with the mistletoe, the
gods declared that 1t must never come
down to his kingdom, the earth, and
so to this day 1t grows far up in the
trees, and at Christmastide is hung
above our heads in the house.
And, since the mistletoe is the sign

request Of President Wilson to stimu-
late food production among the chill
dren of the country. AS well as to give
them an opportunity to utilize their
spare time In pleasant and profitable
manner, enlisted 1 1,6S0.0O0 garden sol
diers in the United States during the
year 1918. This number represents
the boys and girls In cities, towns and
villages who actually planted. culti-

pervision. Many more than this num-
Ger started. but only those pupils who
lid the work satisfactorily were grant
ed the government U. S. S. G. in
sigma as recognition of their work.
The average profit was little more
than $40 per pupil. or S18,S0O,000 for

used and by children in many cases
who would not have been otherwise
employed. This food was in most
cases consumed while fresh, where

facts. the real results are of greater

More Gardens This Year.
Reports from more than one-half
of the towns and cities that were not
organized under the federal plan in
1918 indicate they will be part of
the United States garden army in 1919.
Many cities and towns had gardens,
hut the superintendents Of schools for
various reasons did not have the chill
dren to organize along the lines of the
federal garden army plan. However,
1t should be added that these COM
munities did n great amount of work
toward increasing food production in
their localities.
The garden work is one of the first
educational movements in the state and
nation that has been enthusiastically
supported by school authorities in pub
lie, parochial and private schools. All
these school systems Joined in many
localities and employed the same gar
den supervisor and garden teachers.
The garden division of the bureau
of education was greatly increased
last September by the employment of
assistant regional directors for all the
