Censored at jamaica


London, Feb. 18th-One of the notes
presented by Matthias Erzbnrger to Mar
shall Foch at Treves on Friday, complain
ed of the failure of the Entente Allies to
commence negotiations at Spa for a fin
ancial treaty with Germany, according to
a German wireless despatch picked up
here. Erzberger pointed out, according
to the message, that the arrangements
made by the Entente called for a begin
ming Of the negotiations of February 18th
and that the German delegates were at
S)a to commence work. He said it
would be necessary in connection with
placing the German commercial fleet
at the disposal Of the Allies, to arrive
at an agreement regarding the amount
and price of foodstuffs to be supplied Ger
many, and concerning the manner of
payment, according 10 the message. He
declared that as t csc matters were not
settled, it was impossible to give instruc-
tons to the commercial fleet, for how
ever anxious the German Govt. was to
fulfil its engagements, it is its solemn
duty not to place the merchant fleet
under foreign control until the pur-
pose for which such a significant and
painful Measure was agreed upon has
been assured. Detailing futile eff
forts to obtain amelioration of the new
armistice conditions, Erzberger said that
Marshal Foch had merely promised to
try to intervene with the Inter-Allied
Commission for the protection of the
Germans in the Eastern Provinces in ac-
c0rdance with the views that Erzberger
presented. He said that Marshal Foch
declared that the first article of the new
agreement was a purely military mea-
sure and would have nc political effects.
Erzbarger, it is sale, reported that he re-
GREETED being successful in obtaining any
definite promise for the release Of Ger
man prisoners, although Marshal FOch
expressed his willingness to submit the
plea to the Supreme War Council
of the Allies. After saying that, he
signed the agreement in accordance
with the Government instructions, and
after handing to Marshal Foch a note of
protest, Erzberger said this is the mes
sage, little gratifying in itself, which |
have had to bring. The world knows
Germany does not wish, and is unable
to conduct a fresh war. but though it
is possible to render US uefenceless, we
must not be made honourless". Kon-
s~tantine Fehrenbach, the President of the
National Assembly, said that the mem
bers of that body were impressed with
the painful nature of the negotiations at
Treves'', and added the entire German
nation is full Of apprehension of this
agreement and its result. A motion to

THE KING OF THE FOREST
KNOWS.

TINKER Bob was always mindful
4 of the forest dwellers and what
ever he knew to be for their good,
he told them. Of course, as in any
community, there were some that
would not even obey the danger sig
malls. When they do not obey they
have to suffer the punishment that
always comes in one way or another
Tinker looked out on day and
then sent a message to all the
dwellers,in the Great Forest to go to
their homes and stay there, as there
was a great storm approaching.

Jay. 81 guess l know when to come
in"
"That may be-" said Jenny Wren
"but you better listen to what the
King says or you'll be sorry"

blew him every way Before he
could get his balance he banged into
the branches of a great tree and
broke his wing. His flying was done.
He futtered to the ground and crawl
ed under a great burdock leaf.
The rain came down in torrents
and it was not long until poor Jerry
the Jay stood in the water up nearly
to his breast feathers. 1t was in these
weary moments that he had time to
think, and he wished he had listen
ed to the King.
After the storm was over and the
forest dwellers came out to thank the
King for protection, Jerry the Jay
was not there. Then they began to
search. Jenny Wren went from
tree to tree calling at the top of her
voice. After some search they saw
him hopping along, dragging ms
broken wing.
''You should have listened" said
Jenny Wren.
81 will listen the next time," said
Jerry hanging his head.
"Isn't it sad," said Tinker Bob,
chat some must suffer punishment
before they will obey"
Then they took him to the King 5
home and bandaged his wing.

Railroad Ruling Is
Pleasing to Soldiers

Altoona, July "a A ruling of
much interest to Pennsylvania Rail-
road employees who were in the Army
during the world war has DUST been
made by Railroad Administration
officials.
william Keller. of Altoona, a mem
Der of Company G., One Hundred and
Tenth Infantry. was employed by the
Pennsy and was a member of the re-
lief fund. He recently made applica-
ton for relief benefits during the
time he was in the hospital in France
while in the service of Uncle Sam.
Nothing was done about it until
Walter s. Greevy, superintendent of
the local office of the State Employ
ment Bureau, took the matter up.
Greevy has just been advised that
the Keller claim will be paid by the
railroad company as soon as a disa-
bility certificate is received from the
Government.
According to this ruling all mem
bers of Uncle Sans fighting forces
who were members of the railroad
relief fund and who are temporarily
disabled in the service will be en-
titled to such compensation as the
relief fund pays members when inca
pacitated- And if it pays accident
and sick benefits, it may also be
liable for death benefits.

ConstitutionaIity Of War
Time Prohibition Act Is
Upheld in Test Suit

New York, July 20. - Constitu-
tionality of the wartime prohibi-
tion act was upheld in an opinion
handed down here to-day by Fed
eral Judge Thomas l. Chatfield, of
Brooklyn, in a test case against
stephen A. Minery, Gsaloonkeeper,
brought by the Liquor Dealers AS
sociation of Connecticut. Judge
Chatfield's decision was based upon
testimony he heard recently in New
Haven, where he sat in the place of
Federal Judge Edwin S. Thomas, of
Connecticut.
Minery. backed by the Connecticut
Liquor Men, in order to test the
validity of the law, opened a sa-
loon in Meriden. He was arraigned
before Judge Chatfield in New
Haven on the charge that on or
about July Z last he sold intoxicat-
ing liquor ''unlawfully and know
ingly before the conclusion of the
present war and before the termi-
nation of rehabilitation, the date
OF which is to be determined by the
President"
The saloonkeeping was defended
by Arnold Alling, State prosecutor
of Connecticut, who demurred to
the charge against Minery on the
ground that the law was unconsti-
tutional and that as peace had been
restored, 1T was not a wartime
measure.

Colored People All
Endorse Efforts For
Social Center Here

At a meeting of the Harrisburg
Forum, an organization which has
done social welfare work in Harris
burg for a number of years, and
members of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of the
Colored Race, it was decided to en-
gage a social worker to take charge
of the social center to be opened
in September at the Wickersham
school building. Preference is given
to a Chicago woman who has served
under Jane Adams for several
years and with whom the local or
ganiZations will get in touch at
once. Five women from each of the
colored churches have been named
to act in conjunction with the
worker in a survey of Harrisburg )
colored population.
This data will be used in con-
nection with Colonel Martins move
ment for a healthier Harrisburg.
This movement has the endorsement
of Clarence Zoger, the recently
elected school board expert. and of
the colored ministerium and all the
colored lodges of the city. The So
cial center will be open early in
September.
The school board has set aside
rooms in the Wickersham building
and at a meeting of the directors
gave their hearty approval of the
project.

the patronage of the Rt. Rev: Philip
r, McDevitt, bishop of the Harris

No Peace Without God
Father Sheely, the distinguished
Jesuit, delivered an impressive SER
tes of lectures on Peace" discus
sing the subject from every angle
and especially from the standpoint
of the Paris treaty and the League
of Nations. His keynote was that
there could be no peace without
God and mentioned the fact that
grave omission in the treaty and the
companion document was the fall
ure to recognize the Almighty IN
this important paper. He declares
that the only true peace is the peace
of the soul and that too much time
and thought of the people are given
to attaining material peace instead
of that peace which is spiritual and
eternal. He also argued that man
to be a real man must be brother
to his fellows and emphasized serV-
ice with view to elevating the soul
to the exclusion of the body.
The retreat this year was of more
than usual interest owing to the
conclusion of the war and DR..
Sheely's striking discussion of the
vital interests of the individual in
volved in n peace which recognizes
God.
