Details of the procedure to be OBJ
served at the historic meeting of
Allied and German representatives at
being worked out by the Allied dele
cations to the peace conference. 1t
is improbable that the world will
know the exact demands of the as
sociated governments until after the
Teutons have been formally appraised
of the price of peace.
IL seems however, that not only
all the Allied governments but the
governments of those countries which
severed relations with Germany but
did not enter the war will be inform
ed as to the details of the proposed
treaty. 1t is likely that a secret
ence will be held before April 25.
Intense Interest i'm England
All England is waiting with intense
interest the address which Premier
David Lloyd George will make in the
House of Commons today. He is ex-
pected to reply to his critics. 1t is
improbable, however, that he will do
more than outline in most general
terms the work that has been done
by the peace conference.

ON SATURDAY
More Responses to Celebration
Fund, $3.50 More Being
Turned in to Committee

Responses to the appeal for money
to swell the welcome home fund
which will provide the means of CIV
ing our boys a big celebration when
they return once again to this, their
home city, have been rather slow in
coming i'm to the office of the secretary
of the general committee connected
with the soliciting of the funds, only
$3.50 being turned in yesterday, this
bringing the total to date up to but
few dollars short of the $4,000.
The finance committee of the cele-
bration committee is OF the opinion
that when the factories begin to send
in their contributions, the amount
now on hand will be greatly increased
as many of the employees in the va
rious concerns have not had pay day
since the drive for funds was insti-
tuted. Also many of the various, ira
ternal organizations and other socie-
ties in the city have not met as yer
and ii is thought that large amounts
will be received from these sources.
According to the present plans OF
the celebration committee, the EFFORTS
of the solicitors will be discontinued
on Saturday, in order to give the VIC
tory Liberty Loan workers ample OPP
portunity to secure the quota allotted
to this city in the campaign Whicn
will be launched next Monday.

been defeated. Labor troubles still
are prevalent throughout western
Germany.

Roumanian forces in Bessarabia
have been forced to retire before Rus
sian soviet troops, and farther north
the army of Simon Petlura, the peas
ant leader of the Ukraines, has been
driven westward a considerable dis
tance. In these regions the Russian
Bolsheviki are making separate at
tempts to cut their way through to
Hungary so that they may join their
comrades in Budapest.
Czech forces are reported in dis
patches from Warsaw to have crossed
the line of debarkation fixed by the
Allied mission in Silesia. where the
Czechs and Poles claim territory. A
clash along the Polish frontier is said
to have resulted in casualties. Mean
while the first detachment OF General
