The burden Of feeding Germany falls

Germany has started to pay in hard

National Bank toward this end.
This, in effect, is the message
brought from Europe by DR.. Vernon

Administration, who arrived yesterday
on the Nleuw Amsterdam, after several
months investigation of food condi-
nons in Poland, Germany, Austria,

professor OF biology at Leland Stanford
university. He served first with the
belgian Relief Commission, later with
the United States Food Administration
end finally with The American Relief
ADMINISTRATION. Mrs. Kellogg, who ar
rived with him yesterday, was the onlv
woman on the Belgian Relief Commls-

OF the armistice.
Germany, according to DR. Kellogg, is
stlll a nation unvanquished, in her own
opinion. She does not feel that she
has been beaten in military sense.
AT the same time, she is broken up in
ternally. Bolshevism is shaking her
very foundations, though IT is still un-

WASHINGTON Bureau

washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 2.-The Italian
press, according to mail advices re-
ceived here to-day, reports an impor-
tant meeting of Italian and French
politicians and journalists in Paris, at
which the following resolutions were
voted
ss1 That the French and italian
governments, since they will
have to carry the heavy burden of be-
ing Germany's neighbors, should form
within the league Of nations a Latin
bloc and take every possible step to
strengthen the political, economic and
financial links between the two nations
and should act in agreement in their
relations with other countries, especial
ly with regard to war burdens, their
credits abroad and their commercial
treaties.
ss2 That the countries united in
the struggle against the i'm
perialism Of the Central Powers should
continue to work together and to aid
each other by every means in order
to make possible the revival of the
economic and social life of the Allied
countries.
ss3 That the peace conference
90 should direct it's whole atten-
tion to the study of the financial Sit
uation created by the war and to the
special position of certain nations
which, like France and Italy, will have
to support the heaviest burdens of the
victorious struggle.
.sA That in the financial liquida-
N' tion of the war the enemy
should be forced to pay to the full
extent of his economic power, and that
the distribution among the Allied and
associated countries should be made
in inverse proportion to their wealth
and i'll direct proportion to their
losses.
ssS That the American, British and
Japanese governments should
make up their minds that it is neces-
sary to settle in accordance with ius
tice the economic and financial sifua
tion created by the war and should
unite with France and Italy in favor
ing fair solution Of the question. )"
Among the Italians who attended
were Signor Barzilaf, Ambassador
Bonln-Longare, Signores Chiesa, Can
epa and others. The "Corriere della
Sierra" commenting on the resolutions
says: 0'
1T is absurd to think of territorial
gains and strategic guarantees against

tory as "The Spencer Tree" for it
was the house and home of Spencer,
the great pioneer. The tree stood
near Bledsoe's Lick, where the first
settlement was made in the middle
portion of the state. For three long,
dreary years, it sheltered and pro-
tected the hardy Spencer.
Spencer was the Daniel Boone of
Middle Tennessee. He was a veri-
table giant, for even his footprints
were enough to scare the French out
of the county; but his heart was as
big as his foot, for he is noted in his
tory for his backwoods' generosity.
The lonely women lay hid in the
tree until night, when they crept out
almost furnishing with thirst and hun
ger. But they could not find any
food that night. Foxie was not able
to walk, so they carried him along
on their weary march. The next
morning Tame Doe found huge tur-
tie, which she roasted; and so they
were saved from starving.
Tame Doe pushed on now with new
zeal and hope; if they could pick up
enough to eat on their way, they
might yet reach Virginia in safety.
This was a vital question with them

and lived on frogs, young birds and
bird eggs and berries; but the supply

line leading to the east. The bark
on the trees had been hacked off all
along; and the trace was easy to fol-

They had struck DIR. Thomas Walk

years before (1748) in the first ex-

he named the Cumberland Mountains
and the beautiful river of the same
name.
The women crossed the river and
came on toward the lofty mountains.
