FOR u. S. TO
meet TERMS
Pact Furnishes Charter
for New World Order
Declares President.

Washington. June 28.-Presiden
Wilson in an address to the Ameri
IAN people on the occasion of tn
bigning of the peace treaty made ;
plea for the acceptance of th'
Ereaty and the covenant of tn,
|eague of nations without chang
br reservation. His message, giver
put here by Secretary Tumulty
Baid:
My fellow countrymen
The treaty of peace has been
signed. If it is ratified and act
ed upon in full and sincere ex-
ecution of its terms, it will fur
nish the charter for a new or
der of affairs in the world.
1t Is a severe treaty in the
duties and penalties it imposed
upon Germany, but it is severe
only because of the wrongs
done by Germany are to be
righted and repaired: it pro-
poses nothing that Germany
cannot do and she can regain
her rightful standing in the
world by the prompt and hon
orable fulfillment of it's terms.
More Than Treaty of Peace.
And it is much more than a
treaty of peace with Germany.
1t liberates great peoples who
have never before been able to
find the way to liberty. 1t
ends, once for all, an old and
intolerable order under which
small groups of selfish men
could use the peoples of great
empires to serve their ambi-
tion for power and dominion.
1t associates the free govern
ments of the world in a perma-
nent league in which they are
pledged to use their united
power to maintain peace by
maintaining right and justice
1t makes international law a
reality supported by impera-
tive sanctions.
Ends Old Order of Things.
It does away with the right
Of conquest and rejects the poll
icy of annexation and substi-
tutes a new order under which
backward natiOns-populations
which have not yet come to po-
litical consequence and peoples
who are ready for independ-
ence. but not vet quite pre-
pared to dispense with the pro-
lection and guidance-shall no
more be subjected to the domi-
nation and exploitation of
stronger nation, but shall be
put under the friendly direction
and afforded the helpful assist
ance of governments which un-
dertake to be responsible to
the, opinion of mankind in the
execution of their task by ac-
cepting the direction of the
league of nations. 1t recog-
nizes the inalienable rights of
nationality: the rights of mi
norities and the sanctity of re-
ligious belief and practice.
Lays Foundation Of FrAcdOm.
1t lays the basis for conven-
tions which shall free the COM
mercial intercourse of the
world from unjust and vexa-
tious restrictions and for every
sort of international coopera-
tion that will serve to cleanse
the life of the world and facili-
tate it's common action in bene-
ficent service of every kind. 1t
furnishes guarantees such as
1were never given or ever con-
templated for the fair treat
ment of all who labor at the
daily tasks of the world.
It is for this reason that I
have spoken of it as a great
charter for a new order of af-
fairs. There is ground here
for deep satisfaction. universal
assurance, and confident hope.

Answer to Christmas Roll Call! All
That Anybody Neds to Join UP
Now Is Heart and
Dollar

The Christmas roll call Of the Amer
nv to all the people. And the re-
Spouse to this message should be uni
versal it should come from every man,
woman and child in the country. All
that Is needed in n heart and dollar.
The war has left world filed with
ruin. Peace must restore, rebuild, re-
construct, recreate what war has de-
stroyed. More than that, for hundreds
of millions of human beings, rescued
from social slavery and political bond
age, there must be revealed new
ideals, efficient methods, sufficient or
ganizatiOn.
As the army and navy were the will
of the nation modified for victory in
war, so is the Red Cross the soul of
the nation mobilized for service in
peace.
Even after the formal terms Of peace
are signed 1t will take months, even
years, for our present work to be com
pleted. The sober task of withdrawal
cannot keep pace with the tense strain
Of the accomplishment when first we
rushed our mighty army across the
water to save the liberty OF the world.
We have two and a quarter millions
Of men overseas, flung there with I'M
dreamed of speed. 1t will take three
times as long TO bring them back. So
long as one regiment remains, the Red
Cross, as always, WILL STAND BY.
All over our land there are soldiers
homes in need Of information, of coun-
sci, Of sympathy and comfort Until
the boys come home, until all these
families are reunited, the Red Cross,
as usual, WILL STAND BY.
On hundred hard-fought fields
there are heroes graves to be identi-
fed, marked and honored-and here
at home are thousands OF hearts to
be comforted by the knowledge Of
where their loved ones are sleeping
SO long as sorrow comes into these
homes, the Red Cross. as ever, WILL
STAND BY.
But now the world Ia calling us to
an even greater task.

scourge of tuberculosis.
VII. Above all, it must face the fact
that America is the one Of all the
great nations Of the earth that is prac-
tically untouched and uneXhausted by
the ravages of war. That with the
end of the fighting there remains the
vastest problem the world has ever
faced-that of carrying humanity
through the coming winter and spring
and bringing 1t up to the relief of the
harvests of 1919. There is not enough
food in the world now to provide for
normal consumption. With the best
that can be accomplished by way of
organization and administration, there
will be widespread privation and suf-
fering.
The war has left behind it hideous
legacy of want. suffering and distress.
There is work to be done that calls
for millions of consecrated hands and
hearts.
The Red Cross therefore calls you
to enlist for all this supreme service

turn to Their Normal Sup
ply Of White
Bread.

Overshadowing all other accomplish
ments of the American people under
the leadership of Food Administration
is the history Of wheat exports I'm the
past sixteen months. Our wheat ex-
port program proved conclusively to
the world that America was In this
war from start TO finish and willing TO
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength Of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight OF
our war
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
is eased by the stopping of large move
ments Of troops TO Europe. we may re-
lax our efforts TO save wheat. The ae-
cumulated surplus I'm Australia, Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus viii have TO leave this country.
We in America and the nations which
have won the world for freedom will
be enabled TO eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table Of the PEG
pies Of democracy.
We entered the past crop year with
a wheat supply which gave us only
20,000,000 bushels available for ex-
port When the crop year ended, we
had sent 141 100000 bushels of wheat
TO Europe. The American people had
saved out OF their normal consumption
121,000,000 bushels

that the conservation Of flour brought
about by the wheatless meals, wheat.
less days, substitution in our kitchens
and bakeries, enabled us TO send TO
our armies and the allies 33,000,000
barrels of white flOur-wheat figured
as -four. Had we exported only our
visible surplus, We would have been
able TO ship less than $500 600 barrels.
Before the LIST Of December our sur
plus had gone overseas, and an addi-
tional 36,000,000 bushels had been tax
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added 10 the surplus
already shipped to the allies 1t seem
ed hardly possible that we could bring
our total exports above 100000,000
bushels by July |. But in January the
late Lord Rhondda, then British Food
Controller, cabled that unless we
could send an additional 100000
bushels he could not take RESPONSE

els of wheat, saved from their home
consumption, between the first of the
year and the advent of the new crop.
BY October 10, 1913. we had already
shipped 65,9G0, 300 bushels since July
l. Absolutely the only limitation upon
our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity of ocean
tonnage If exports continue at the
present rate, by July OF next year
we will have sent more than 237 800
600 bushels TO Europe.
Thus are we making good Americas

ROumana, Montenegro, Armenia
Syria, and Palestine have been laid
waste-ravished, robbed, depopulated
The flaming tempest Of war has left
them In ruins. The natural resources
have been exhausted and destroyed
Cities, villages and homes are rubbish
heaps. The very soil has been torn
into sterility. The machinery of life
has been shattered and diSorganized
The people themselves have been herd
ed like cattle and driven into Servitude
or exile.
In Russia conditions are beyond de-
Scription. To war and its raVages
have been added the terrors of revo-
luton. anarchy and brigandry. The
country is a wallow Of dishonesty and
licensed brutality. In spite of any
thing and everything the allied nations
can do i'm the way Of relief, millions
OF human beings will starve 10 death
in Russia the coming winter.
Conditions are almost as bad in Ar
menia, Syria and Serbia.
To the need of the peoples and ma
tons rescued from military bondage
by the allied victory must now be add
ed the need Of the people Of the cen
trail empires, impoverished by the ter
rlble demands Of war.
Woe to the conquered !"
Yes; but the very spirit that sent
America into the war forbids that we
disregard the suffering and dire dis
tress of "A conquered enemy.
We have suffered yet but little, while
the rest of the world has hungered and
thirsted, has bled and died.
Shall we not go on TO the full meas
ure of our great strength-shall we
not meet the full demand of our moral
obligation? So only can we meet the
full measure of our ideal. So only can
the world, cropping for symbol, real
ize the true meaning Of democracy.
Here then are the things the Red
Cross must do:
/. While our men are in service
overseas IL must stand in instant
readiness, as the emergency reserve
OF the army and navy.
III. AS our men come home, IL must
be ready to cooperate In every way in
ministering TO their necessity and
comfort.
III. Both overseas and at home IL
must be ready for hospital service to
the wounded and convalescent and
must carry on It's reconstruction work
among the permanently crippled and
MANNED.
Nv. 1t must face the ever widening
ministry TO the families and friends of
our soldiers and sailors, providing
them with counsel, encouragement,
protection and If need be. with mate
rial aid.
V. II must stand ever equipped for
the sudden emergencies of pestilence,
disaster storm and calamity-and be
ready as always for instant and eff
cient relief.
vi. II must carry ON with increas-
ing vigor and scientific determination

sang Puss Junior leaning over the
brook and keeping a sharp look
out for a fish. But 1 guess every
little fish heard him. for not one
came anywhere near the bank, and
Puss at last grew tired and dis
gusted.
Tom Thumb, who had Crept out
of his pocket, sat close by, feeling
pretty blue and very, very hungry.
The big bull frog had already eaten
his supper. Half a dozen flies
were safely tucked away under his
yellow waistcoat, so he was feeling
quite satisfied with everything.
Tom said Puss Junior, coming
over to where little Ton sat on a
toadstool, I'm a poor fisherman;
let US leave this place and seek a
place to eat and sleep. Toads and
frogs seem to have an easy time
getting their food, but when il
comes TO US it's most difficult"
Tom seemed to think tbs A good
idea so they both said gOodby to
the frog and set out once more.
The black bird was nowhere in
sight, so they just left him behind.
If he couldn't come back in time. il
was his own fault.
II was now growing dark, and il
was time TO be indoors, as well as
at a supper table On and on they
trudSed. keeping a sharp lookout
for house. At last, they came
across a little hut. There WAS no
light in the window, but neverthe-
less, Puss stepped up to the door
and knocked. 4 queer little man
opened it and said:
High diddle doubt, my candies
out!
My little maid is not at home:
Saddle my hog and bride nv dog
And fetch my little maid home"
will you give us a good supper
If We dO?" said Puss.
That ! WILL answered the queer
little man.
Very well, then" replied Puss,
Tom and I are ready. Show us
your hog and show us your dog.
and we'll ride away and fetch YOUR
little maid home"
The queer little man then led
them around to the rear of the hut.
In a little shed stood a very nice
looking dog, which the queer little
man bridled at once. Then he
took down saddle and placed il
across the back of the very fat
hog, who was in a pen next to the
shed.
Now, who will ride the dog"
asked the queer little man.
Il WILL said Tom, and then Puss
jumped on the hog. and away they
went, and next time you shall hear
what happened after that.

The COlOred
CamisOle
By Rita StuYvesant.


Georgette blouses has created
need for colored camisoles.
A lovely blouse perhaps of the new
victory red has a way OF losing it's
bright. attractive color when worn
over a flesh or white under bodice,
and for this reason designers are
offering us cOlored camisoles to
match each transparent blouse for
the remedy. Sometimes a combina-
ton of colors is most effective, and
If one can choose the proper color
for the camisoIe very often it will
enhance the beauty of the blouse.
One of the novelties of the early
spring was the victory red blouses
of georgette crepe. To wear I'M
der these the shops are showing
camilsoles of flame color in a smart
tailored model. Red satin is the
material with hemstitched trim
ming, for there is something re-
pellent about the colored laces that
women of the better class do not
favor.
a narrow fold at the top OF the
camisole is hens titched and fin
ished with i red ribbon draw string.
Shoulder straps about an inch wide
are also hemstitched. so that this
model is unusually simple to make
When worn under a red blouse it
brings out all the charm of the
shade.
Another blouse OF pumpkin
colored chiffon had an under bodice
of the same shade. There is many
a slip in the fashions this spring,
and even an unpretentiOus camisole
is a slip-On model. Made of pump
kin satin. IL has an elastic both top
and bottom and no opening either
front or back. Ribbon straps are
used over the shoulders and a tiny
circle of silk flowers in pastel
shades deCorates the front.
The stout woman who does not
feel comfortable in Camisole will
like an underbodice with tiny
sleeves set in. These are made Oh
the style of the old-time corset
cover" and are cut high over the
shoulders and back. The straight
sleeves are set in and reach half
way TO the elbow. Sometimes they
are finished with a ribbon draw
string run through a casing, while
others have a picot edge. Small
buttons and buttonhOles in the front
are concealed under a fold.
Very little trimming is used on
these coIored camisOles, but occa-
sionaUy there is a touch of hand
embroidery. for what garment this
season is without its bit of hand
work. Whether il is a circle of
tiny buds or Il lovers bow of
French knots. or perhaps a single
spray of small flowers. embroidery
is found W lere simple decoration is
desired. Odd miniature silk flowers
can often be purchased at quite a
reduction and make an eXquisitely
dainty decoration.
Blouses of bisque, tan. ecru. cof-
fee or chocolate emphasize their
daintiness when worn over a flesh
or pink satin camisoIe. Navy blue
georgettC blouses can have their
appearance completely changed by
a flame red camisoIe. and a lemon
shade is exquisite under a French
blue blouse.
