A pain severe but local.
His yells have been full-sized since

Though he's not big at all;
It's not a case that calls for. mirth

Who Wouldn't.

Who Wouldn't be a farmer
And with the farmer stand,
Where piles of cider apples
Are gathered on his land?
Who wouldn't turn those apples
Into the busy press
And simle at streams Of nectar
OF godlike lusciousness?
Then if some night in autumn
Should blow a piercing breeze,
And contents of the barrel
Should accidently freeze,
Who wouldn't love to capture
And HID him like a wise,
The wretch who drew the liquor
And left the owner ice?

secret of just how this was done was
due to the fact that about twenty
five of the Thirtieth division boys
helped the sailors in running the ship
and stoking the fire in the engine
room. The captain of the ship had
told the sailors that If they didn't

the bolsheviks not meeting with
favor from the American and British
delegates who are not yet willing to
resort to militarism.
On the other hand all admit the
danger of a bolshevik invasion of al

Rumania at present.
While Anglo American opinion is
against mobilization now. this atti-
tude may change. One Of the Amer
ican delegates in explaining the on
position to mobilization. said:

arations for another war"
The French. it is understood, havt
backed up their proposal with til
contention that mobilization in tn
east and south of Europe would maa
it unnecessary for American. Bris

The scheme. as outlined would b
purely a defensive measure unles;
the bolshevik army started an often

by the allies necessary.
From French sources, the infor-
nation is secured that the situation
in Austria is becoming more danger
Gus. The spirit of bolshevism has
invaded the national guard, and tlls
troops are searching houses, taking
whatever they want. This furnishes
a brand new phase of the situation In
Central Europe. which it is believed
in some quarters should be taken in
hand before it is too late.
The Germans at Danzig are re-
ported to be strengthening the gar

Danzig is the city in Eastern

that Danzig be given to Poland along

Paris, March 29.--The recent note

form of an ultiniatum. as stated by
the Berlin newspapers. according to
Marcel Hutin In the Echo de Paris.
Revealed In Full Text.
Copenhagen, March 29.-The full
extent of the German reply to the
allies concerning the landing of Pol
ish troops at Danzig shows that Ger
many made a point that II did not
undertake to give free access to the
Polish army to west Prussia in the
armistice agreement with the entente
powers. The reply says: "Since the
conclusion of the armistice the en-
tire situation In Posen. west Prus-
sia. and Danzig has entirely
changed" s
Il Offering the ports of Stettin
Koenigsberg, Memel or Libau, the
German government says that 'all
necessary facilities for the speediest
possible landing and transit Of Gen
Hallers army to Poland will be pro-
vided."
"F'rom the standpoint OF railroad
facilities" the reply adds, "the routes
from these cities lead more speedily
to the goal without entailing inter-
ruption of importations of foodstuffs
to Poland.
According to the Berlin Tageblatt,
all parties In the Weimar national
assembly. including the Independent
socialists, approved of the govern
ment's reply to the entente note. The
German newspapers generally sup
port the governments position. The
socialist Vorwaerts. for instance, says
Hungary's reception of the note re-

foolish to treat defeated opponents
as slaves upon whom any humiia,-

The Berlin Tages Zeitung says the

of the entente absolutely to crush
