to the Wrong Girl

The next time Frank Billings, sixty
one years old, has a piece of pie to give
away, he will be a little more careful
regarding the person to whom he offers
it.
Sunday afternoon Kathryn, nine
year-old daughter of a Detroit detec-
tive sergeant, was standing at street
corner waiting for her aunt and uncle
when an elderly man walked up to her
and asked her whether she wanted a
piece of pie.
She refused, but he asked her to
come into a vacant house near the cor
ner and he would give her some pie.
She had been told by her father not to
60 with any stranger, so she ran home
and told her father about the man. The
sergeant walked up to the corner, fall
ed to see any one and was about to
board street car when he noticed
some weeds moving. He walked over
to investigate and found Billings hid
Ing.
He placed the man under arrest and
upon investigation found he has a rec
ord for burglary and is on parole from
Jackson (Mich.) prison.

| acceptance by the United States senate
of the peace treaty signed with Ger
many, and predicted that the senate
would ratify the treaty.
"When this treaty is accepted" he
, said the men in khaki will never
have to cross the seas again, and say
when ii is accepted, because it will be
accepted"
Speaking to capacity audience
which filled every nook in Memorial
hall, the president said it was not his
purpose during the trip to ''Gebate"
the treaty, but to expound it to the
people. He declared there was con-
cert of feeling among the allied repre-
sentatives at Versailles. Referring to
the American delegation, he SAID;
'We were under Instructions ana we
did not dare come home without full
filling those instructions. If / could
not have brought back the kind Of ii
treaty did bring back, l never would
have come back"
The meeting was presided over by
Dr.. w. o. Thompson, and the presi-
dent was introduced by former Go#or-
nor James &, Campbell as "the first
citizen of the big, round world.

the treaty, but to eSpound it.
Mr. Wilson began by saying that he
had "chafed at the confinement Of
Washington" and was glad to get out
to make his report to the people.

United States Confers Highest
Honors Upon Our Chief Who
Led American Forces
HOME FROM OVERSEAS

p sts = . f.ssH 81
New York.-Honored by foreign rul-
ers and governments, General Perish
ing, the commander-in-chief of the
nightiest army that ever fought its
way to victory under the Stars and
Stripes, returned to his own folk or
Monday to meet a greater honor than
any foreign potentate or power could
confer-the thanks Of the worlds
greatest democracy to the man who
had planned the decisive blow in de-
mocracy's fight against tyranny.
The stern-faced soldier who had
maintained his iron self-contrOl amid
the shambles of the Mouse and the
blOod-drenched forest of ArgOnne was
not proof against the tribute of praise
and gratitude which was roared from
hundreds of thousands of the threats
and hearts of his fellow citizens.
His voice trembled with emotion as
he responded to the greetings extend
ed by Secretary of War Baker in his
own behalf and that of the president,
as well as the welcoming addresses of
representatives of the senate and
house. the state and city
AS his car passed slowly through the
cheering multitudes which jammed
Broadway from the Battery to the city
hall, Pershing attempted in vain to
maintain his composure. At first he
replied to the cheers with the stiff
salute which military etiquette de-
mands but he was soon carried away
by the storm of applause which swept
in great gusts about him. Rising to
his feet, he waved his cap above his
head with boyish gesture which told
bow deeply he was stirred, while the
grim lines of his bronzed face broke
into smile which was as infectious as
1t WIS rare.
Just after the general walked down
the gangplank at Hoboken he received
the first reward which grateful
country has offered him. In the name
of the nation, Secretary of War Baker
handed him his commission as full
general in the American army, Il rank
held previously by only three mem
