is, not the only person who has
been compelled TO so through life
without arms.
Lutes outdid himself Wednesday

special interest in proving TO the
little girl, who was all eyes, that it
was possible for her to learn many

TrnnsIntion of Address ShOlpS

What purported to be translation
from an official transcript of speech
made at the peace conference in Paris
by President Wilson defining the ex-
tent and character of the guarantees
the United States would give to Euro
pean nations under the Treaty of Yer
sailles was given by Frank Fl. Simonds
in an article published in The Tribune
December 3, 1919.
The speech was made by the Prcsi-
de.t on May 81 1919, in plcnary SEES
sion of the conference. M. bratlano
and NJ. Trumbitch. representing Ru-
mania and Serbia, had protested
against the section in the treaty with
Austria which compelled their coun-
tries to recognize the right of the four
great powers to intervene on behalf Of
mnoritics in Rumania and Serbia.
Mr.. Wilson in his address sought to
dspcl the conviction that the great
powers sought to impose their will
upon the smaller nations "out of any
feeling of pride or arrogance" He
pleaded for equitable distribution of
territory in accordance with the de-
sires and affinities of the populations
