public here, expresses sympathy with
the idea OF the league of nations de-
clares Willingness to be satisfied with
taking the role of participating
member In that organization and en-

cation, TO Premier Clemenceau, as
president of the Peace conference.
The reply sets forth that the delega-
tion recognized that German-Austria,
as the text of the note names the ma
tion, could not well take a part in the
problem of creating the league which
by its very nature remains in the
hands of the great powers" but will
be glad of its protection without
taking an important part in the rights
and obligations entailed by member
ship in this league"

plete preponderance to democracy in

TRADE WITH GERMANY
To Be Resumed at Once to a
Limited Extent.
Acting Secretary of State Polk VIII
Not Abrogate Trading With
Enemy Act.

Washington, July IL. Trade be-
.ween the United States and Germany
will be resumed Immediately, Acting
partment announced.
Secretary Polk made 1t clear that
resumption of trade relations with
Germany did not abrogate the trading
with the enemy act nor was 1t to be
taken as meaning that the state of
war was at an end.
Mr.. Polk said blanket licenses would
be issued but that dyes, chemicals and
potash would be excepted. Control
over trade in these commodities will
be exercised by the reparation COM
mission under the terms of the peace
treaty. A formal announcement re-
garding resumption Of trade relations
was promised within a few hours.
Vance Mccormick, chairman of the
war trade board, who returned from
Paris with President Wilson, said
there would be virtually complete
freedom of trade with Germany, sub
ject to the limit of credits which Ger
many might be able to establish.
President Wilson made an unexpect-
ed call on Acting Secretary Polk at
the state department. The president
carried with him a number of papers,
and 1t was understood that the Mexi-
can question was among the first he
wished to consider.

Senator Knox, made no comment.

that President Wilson completely an

league Of nations is a league for

formed as alliance of war"
Senator Smoot, Republican, Utah,

Wilsonian essay, but not quite up to
the standard"

Senator Harding, Republican, Ohio.
said the address was "the appeal of

WHOSE FUNERAL is 1T

There are a great many splendid
things being said and done in the
States incident to the American sol
dier's return. And, as might be ex-
pected, a great many things equally
as silly.
The American soldier believes that
this war has been fought for some
thing very spiritual and yet very tan
gible, and that the peace to follow is
to be a worthy one He will return
to face life with the same high cour-
age with which he confronted death.
He feels sure of the welcome he will
find, and he hopes to slide quietly and
unostentatiously into harness and
help pull the lead of bigger, better
world.
To program of land reclamation and
vocational training, insurance pro-
lection, an dhelp for the manned and
blind the returning soldier looks for
ward as measure of justice which
he hopes will be worked out to a con-
summation in keeping with the new
order of things.
There are, however, unfortunately,
a great many people in the States with
lotsof time and nothing to do, to whom
it ought to be suggested that he does
not appreciate the charity campaign
now in full swing. He doesn't object to
his old uniform and some of it's acces-
sories, nor to the extra months pay
that is an intimate little matter be-
tween himself and his Uncle. But
when he picks up the paper and reads
| in, perhaps, nine out of fifteen items
some novel proposition, rather vague,
nevertheless entirely suggestive of
the charitable intentions of the auth
ors, he feels very much like man
who has left home and upon return
/ ing finds some one else installed in
the best chambers and the word "wel-
come" on the cellar door
/ One state is planting trees for us,
another naming pigs for us, all the
hens in another state laying eggs for
us, and some one else is planning to
make New York policemen out of
us. Some governors are calling the
politicians together and proclaiming
that something has got to be done with
us, and committees are being appoint
| ed with salaries) to look into the
matter. Some are recommending that
/ all of us be sent back to the farm and
others that we be hired by the govern
ment.
What tremendous awakening is in
store for all these dear people when
the soldier sets foot again upon the
old sod, shakes the dust of battle from
his clothes, and wades into things with
breeze that will blow all the charity
boards and governors committees out
of his way forever.-Stars and Stripes
