IBy the Associated Press.l

Paris, Feb. l.-Preliminary peace
terms probably viii be presented to
Germany along with conditions for a
further renewal Of the armistice this
month, IL present plans are not disar-
ranged. Recognizing the need for a
return OF the world to a normal peace
time basis. the nations associated
against Germany are considering max
ing a start toward the actual peace
treaty by inserting some Of the elemen-
larry terms into the conditions which
will be submitted 10 the German armis-
tice commission on Feb. II.
This decision is reflected also in the
examination now under way to deter
mine what American troops it will be
necessary to have In the occupied ter
ritory. The plan is to get them all
out as soon as possible as it seems
advisable, and it has been thought that
a start might well be made in laying
down the terms Of peace. Some Off
cials who have been closely studying
the situation believe the armistice it
self might well be developed into a
peace treaty just az they think q So
cioty OF nations might be developed out
or the deliberations OF the peace con-
ference.
President Wilson is known to have
examined this view and contemplated
its possibilities.
cempromiss Plan Still sserst.
9r~ No official statement OF the details Of
the compromise plan" for the govern
ment Of the former German colonies
by mandatories has been made. but It
IS understood that the use of the word
colonies" in official statements does
not limit the scope Of the plan to for
mer German territory. 1t may also
apply to such territories as Mesopo:
tamia, Armenia and Palestine.
Chinese and Japanese claims to
Using Tao. It is understood, will be
left for adjustment to the league of
nations. 1t Is also believed that the
same order will prevail as to Dalma-
tia and Albania, over which Italy and
Jugo- Siavia are at odds.
The present program contemplat tes
the fastening Of the league Of nations
plan by the committee having it in
charge so that a report may be made
before President Wilson's departure.
The secretariet has changed the
name Of this body to "the commission
on the society Of nations" in Difference
to the wishes Of number of delegates
who regarded the use OF the word
league" as indicating an alliance for
offensive and defensive purposes.

Paris Crime Wave
Not Due to Acts of

HINTS FOR
POULTRY GROWERS

The poultry grower who has not yet
adopted sprouted oats as a part of the
hens bill Of fare, especially during
the winter months, is not only depriv-
ing his hens Of feed that would be rel
ished and which is most valuable in
feeding for egg production, but is also
overlooking one Of his best opportu-
mites to save on the cost of feeding.
Town folks who keep only small fiocks
have been quicker to realize the advan-
tages of feeding sprouted oats than
have farmers, yet the latter are the
mes who should be first to understand
the food value and the results that
might reasonably be expected from
sprouted oats, because the oats sprout-
err is to the poultryman what the silo
Is to the dairyman.
A few poultry growers operate he'll
oats sprouters the year round, they
having found sprouted oats to be an
excellent feed for both laying hens
and growing stock. This can be done
very profitably when the chickens do
rot have free range, but is not neces-
sary with the farm flock during that
part of the year when there is plenty
Of natural green feed. The real advan-
tage in feeding sprouted oats is that
1t provides succulent green feed when
none other is available. In the sprout-
ed form, none of the grain is lost or
wasted. The hens eat all the tender
green sprouts, roots and soft hulls.

THE %CONQUEROR WORM

Lo! tits a gala night
Within the lonesome latter years.
An angel throng, bewinged, bedight
In wells, and drowned in tears,
Sit in a theater to sec
A play Of hopes n fears,
While the orchestra breathes itfully
The music Of the spheres.
Mines, in the form of God on high,
Mutter and humble low:
And hither and thither fly;
Mere puppets they, who come n go,
AT bidding Of vast formless things
That shift the scenery to and fro,
Flapping from out their condor wings
Invisible woe.
That motley drama-oh, be sure
1t shall not be forgot!
With its Phantom chased for evermore
BY a crowd that seize II not,
Through a circle that ever returneth in
To the self-same spot:
And much of Madness, and more OF Sin
And Horror. the soul Of the plot.
But see amid the mimic rout
A crawling shape intrude:
A blood-red thing hat writhes from on
The scenic solitude!
1t writhes-it writhes!-with mortal pangs
The mines become It's food,
And seraphs sob at vermin fangs
In human gore imbrued.
Out-out are the lights-out ell,
And over each Quivering form
The curtain, a funeral pail,
Comes down with the rush Of q storm
While the angels. all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unwilling, affirm
That the play Is the tragedy, Man."
And its hero, the ConQueror Worm.
