sions about which debate has centered
was made plain In answer to questions
asked him by the guests, they said to-
day.
The president did not take up the
league constitution article by article
and expound 1t, nor did he make
speech. He invited questions and then
answered them.
In view of the presidents evident
desire that congress and the people
get all possible information concern
ing the workings of the projected
league. those attending the dinner and
conference talked freely today.
The presidents Interpretation. as 1t
apeared to the committee members
and as stated by them to the United
Press, is given herewith:
MONROE DOCTRINE.
The proposed league extends tho
Monroe doctrine to the entire world
and thus would strengthen instead Of
weaken or destroy this traditional
American policy.
MANDAToRIEs.
The provision for states mandatory
to supervise. guide and guard former
colonies Of Germany or her allies does
lot compel any nation to assume tho
task of mandatory against its will.
In this connection the president
stated, according to committee mem
bers, that numerous requests have
been made that the United States act
as mandatory in the cases Of a num-
ber Of countries. But it will be with
the greatest reluctance that this
country undertake such work. the
president is quoted as saying. He in
dicated. 1t was stated that II this
country does become a mandatory
Armenia is likely to be the object Of
our care.
The mandatory plan was adopted,
committee members quoted the presi-
dent as saying, because Of the obvious
difficulties of outright annexations.

dents view, as stated by members,
depends upon ()-The good faith and
honor of nations Of the league and (2)

P|Ez DEMANDSM MEN
INCREASE OUTPUT|F
PAY RAISE GRANTED
Emergency Fleet Director Says
Industry Must Be "Purged';;
Time no Longer Pressing and
Can Hold Up Work.

Washington, Feb. Eff further in
creases in pay are to be given ship
yard workers, "a considerable increase
in the per man production must en-
sue" was the warning in a statement
covering the demands of the Hog Is
land foremen today by Director GEN
eral Piez of the Emergency Fleet cor
poration. Piez offered dissatisfied
workers an increase of 81 a week in
stead OF the demanded Sc raise.
Certainly, with unemployment grow
ing. with prices generally on the de-
cline and lessening of opportunity in
many industries, demand for wage in
creases can be justified solely on the
ground of a considerable increase in
production. Officials regarded the po-
sition taken by Piez as leading directly
to a cancellation OF contracts for fur
ther shipbuilding should strikes come.
TIME NO ISSUE NOW.
His statement mentioned there still
was much work to do In carrying out
the government construction program,
but intimated strongly that time was
no longer pressing and that the work
could be temporarily delayed if it were
necessary to await more favorable con-
ditions.
Piez said the shipbuilding industry
must be "purged." If men are not
able to do the work for which they
were employed, there can be no reduc-
tion in the costs of production, he
pointed out
1t is only by manning the yards with
men physically fit and skilled that the
industry in this country can be placed
on basis where foreign contracts can
be obtained, he added.
NEW WAGE SCALE.
The new wage scale, which Piez says
will be satisfactory to him, affects
foremen of the following classes of
work and is as follows:
Ship filters. s66 per week; riveters,
$66 per week; erectors, $66 per week;
tank testers, $66 per week; clippers,
caulkers, $66 per week; carpenters, $66
per week; boiler installation, $66 per
week; boilers, s54 per week; drillers,
reamers, $54 per week.

LETTERS FROM OVER SEAS O

of timber and down the road and was very near the other woods when they and one pounder fire. The officer in charge was leading, so he turned off the road and along the edge of the timber up, an openfield. Passed the word back and it came in soft tone of voice as we didn't care to make any to much noise, for us to lay down soon as we saw the man ahead of us do so. We'll we didn't go but few paces more until I would have sworn I saw the man ahead of me lay down. didn't want to be alone so 1 went up until I was even with a fellow lying on the ground, and down went along side of him. Stayed there for lit- tie while and all of sudden took a notion I wanted a chew of tobacco, and as 1 was out myself nudged him in the ribs and asked him for a chew. He never moved or answered me, so gave him another nudge; no move out of him yet, so I reached up and grabbed him by the back of the neck. One grab was enough, for ne was as cold as ice, knew right then that it was not one of our bunch, and it was moving time for me so got my stuff and made tracks, until I run in- to some live ones. We moved on up into position soon afterwards, and the next morning my Corporal and 1 came back by there on salvaging tour for blankets, and anything in the way of eats.. There lay the nice fat Henie that had been trying to get chew from, and he looked as tho he had been past chewing anything for at least a week. 1 can see myself yet making kry getaway. Then another time We 4re going up to relieve the Company, and had all the carts lined along the road. Two of the fellows got into an argument over some lit tie thing, and were just about to come to blows, when all of a sudden the lines opened fire, with high explosiv- es, one shell hit pretty close to us and those two fellows both dove into the ditch along side the road hugging one another instead of fighting. They are both still in the Company, and have a good laugh over that lit tie experience every once in awhile.
 We'll Bess, 1 guess you will have had enough of this by now and as there is nothing else of another vari- ety that I can think of this morning, will close by asking you to give my best regards to all.

COMMUNITY HEALTH
 NURSING How It Helps to Combat The
 Spread of Disease.

In an item appearing in the May Red Cross Magazine, Rupert Blue, Surgeon-Gen United States Pub lie Health Service, says of community health nursing: .a
 q hope the time is not far distant when every community in the United States will enjoy the benefits of a system of public health nursing, for I can hardly conceive of any other single measure of health protection whose general application will bring greater lasting benefits to the com munity.
 "To those who have followed the development of public health work in this country it becomes more and more evident that much of the pro- gress which has been made is due to the introduction of public health nurs- ing as an integral part of public health administration. And yet it seems but yesterday when the first nurses were assigned to visit tuber- culous patients in their homes, report on the sanitary conditions there found and by practical instruction of the patient and his family, help to com bat the spread of the disease to others.
 "The results achieved by this band of pioneers exceeded all expectations, so that in a short time it was realized that in no other way could the work of public health authorities so effectively be brought home to the people. A number of cities thereupon inaugur- ated similar methods in their cam paign against infant mortality. h. stead of sending doctors into tene- ment homes, as they had been doing, to treat sick babies, nurses were sent to visit mothers having newborn babies, and to teach them how to keep the babies well. One has only to glance at the infant mortality statis- tics to realize that this change in method resulted, in the saving of thousands of babies lives.
 "Unfortunately, very large num- Der of communities in the United States are stil without public health nursing service. Progressive health administrators who have had exper- fence with public health nursing are unanimous in praise of the results obtained"

THEY NEVER WILL STOP BEING
 BORN

MINNEAPOLIS, Kan, Dec. 20.-- Gallileo Grub head of the Aurora Borealis Ice company, is on his way to the North Pole to fasten a scoop on pr. Cooks new discovery He took with him 10000 invested by Homer Hogarth, a farmer here, in the Aurora Borealis Ice company, according to Hbgarth, who asked for warrant.
 One blazing hot day last July Gai- lileo, tall, dark, and eXcitable, and wearing an impressive black beard, appeared on Hogarth's farm with q surveyors instrument, pointing 1t to- wards the skies. He seemed pre- occupied for hours, as if calculating some abstruse problem in mathe- matics. Hogarth was watching him.
 Finally, he exclaimed eXcitedly, This is the spot-the very spot"
 According to Hogarth, Gallileo tried to buy his farm, offering him a fabulous sum, but after fourth visit, revealed that his calculations proved Hogarth's farm to be the point where an intending flow of ice would fall were a scoop attached 10 the North Pole, which Gallileo described as a steel girder projecting from the center of the earth Gallileo said he had seen it, as he had been with Peary.
 He then told Hogarth his plan for the Aurora Borealis Ice company, taking $30,000 from Hogarth as s partnership fee, the farmer says, leaving Hogarth on the farm to take care of the ice while he made a sec ond trip to the pole to attach the scoop. His theory was that a scoop attached to the pole would tea- loose billions of tons of ice as the earth revolved, and would gradually tip, flinging its contents on Ho- agarth's farm.
 Cyrus Stronghead, whose farm ad- joins Hogarth's, went to the ban. when he heard of his neighbor's loss to see if his Liberty Bonds were stili there. They were.
 So were his War Savings Stamps.
