The Making of Peace.

The FIRST steps toward the organi-
cation of the peace congress were
taken on January u when the SUI
preme war council, members of which
were President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing of the United States, and the
premiers and foreign ministers of
Great Britain, France and Italy, to-
gether with Marshal Focl and mill
tary representatives of the several
powers, began actual consideration of
the terms of peace to be imposed upon
the central powers. The peace con-
gress itself, without delegates from
the defeated powers or Russia, met in
the ministry of foreign affairs at
Paris on January 49, President Will
son proposed Premier CIemenceau for
permanent chairman of the confer
ence and the delegates elected him by
unanimous vote. 1t was determined at
the beginning that only the five great
belligerent powers, the United States
Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan,
should take part III all meetings of the
conference and commission to be APP
pointed; that other belligerent and as
sociated powers should participate
only in meetings at which questions
concerning them were to be discussed.

belllgerent nations entered upon the
task of bringing peace to the world

being reconstructed and the fixing of
her boundaries gave rise to many con-
troversies between the Poles and sur

be created as a means of preventing
future wars was one of the first to be
taken up by the peace conference On
January % the conference formally
declared in favor of the establishment
of a League of Nations, and a COM
mission, of which President Wilson
was chairman, was appointed to pre-
pare definite plan. The League of
Nations commission held its first meet
ing on February 8 and on February IA
President Wilson read and explained
to the peace conference a draft of the
constitution for the League of Nations.
The plan provided for an executive
council to be composed of representa-
tive8 of nine nations and for an inter-
national secretariat. 1t was provided
that decisions of the executive council
should be enforced if necessary, by
''the prevention of all financial, COM
mevcial or personal intercourse" be-
tween the nation failing to abide by
the decision and all other member
states of the League of Nations.

this plan to the peace conference Pres

AeronauticS.

AS a result of the great develop
ment OF aviation during the war, rapid
progress was made during the year in
the use of both dirigibles and heavier
than-air machines for commercial pur-
poses.
On May 8 three United States navy
seaplanes started from New York on
the first transatlantic flight by way
of Halifax, n. S.; Trepassay Bay
Newfoundland, and the Azores. One
of these machines, the NC-4 arrived
at Lisbon, Portugal, on May 81, hav-
ing completed the first flight across
the Atlantic in actual flying time of
26 hours, A minutes from NeWfound-
land to Portugal. Fog caused the 9th
er two planes to lose their course.
Two British aviators, Harry G..
Hawker and Lieutenant Commander
Mackenzie Grieye, left Newfoundland
on May Is in the first attempt to cross
the Atlantic without stop. Engine
trouble forced them to descend $50
miles from Ireland and the aviators
were picked up by passing vessel
The first nonstop flight across the
Atlantic was made on June IA and 10
by Capt John Alcock, British flyer,
and Lieut.. Arthur w. Brown, his
American navigator, who covered the
1000 miles from Newfoundland to Ire
land in 16 hours and y minutes.
The British dirigible R-34 carrying
81 persons, started from Edinburgh on
a transatlantic flight to New York on
July 2 and reached its destination on
July 6. It made the return trip with
out mishap in three days and three
hours.
Roland Rholfs, in a Curtiss triplane,
made new altitude record on Sep
tember Is by ascending 34,610 feet.
A transcontinental airplane race was
started simultaneously at San Francis
co and New York on October with
65 competitors. Five aviators were
killed during this race. Lieut.. AleXan-
der Pearson was declared the winner.
On December 10 Capt. Ross Smith
of Australia completed an airplane
trip from England to Port Darwin,
Australia, in 80 days, winning price

MEXICAN 0PALS IN DEMAND
Even With Primitive Methods, Our
Southern Nelahbors Dig Beautiful
Stones From Their Mines.

Tho Queretaro district IS the chief
source of supply Of Mexican opals. All
the mines are owned by Mexlcans. No
foreign capital Is invested. Old-fash-
Toned methods Of mining are employed
and activity is desultory. II prices
are good, work becomes feverlsh. If
prices drop off, few opals are mined.
Most of the best quality stones go to
Mexico City. Dealers there market
them in other countries. The poorer
grades are sold In little shops through.
out Mexico or are peddled to tourists
at railway stations. Thousands Of
these cheap opals are sold In towns
along the border in the United States.
They can be bought for from 30 cents
up.
IL IL khls cheap grade of stones thnt
has given Mexican opals a poor repu
tatlon among jeweIry buyers. The
fact is, a fine Mexican opal is a beau
tiful gem. 1t differs from Australian
opals In that the latter are usually
opaque to transmit light, whereas Mex
lean opals are usually clear. To bring
out the soft play of colors In Mexi-
can stone, artificial backs are often
used In setting the gems. Many are
backed with their own genuine matrlx
The better class of Mexican opals Is
not so expensive as the Australian or
those imported from the famous mines
of Australia, but they are far from
cheap.

CITY HAS VARIED HISTORY
Trau, Situated on Small Island in
the Adrlatic Sea, Is Place Of
Unusual Interest.

Trau is a little city, on little
island, in tho Adrlatic sea. Trau Is
the Greek name for watermelon, which
Is the shape of the island, but the
people claim that the name Is derlva-
ton OF Traghilon, whence the
Greeks came to Trau In $50 b. G.
Many fascinating Hctlons are fixed be-
liefs in the minds Of the natives of
the island. They believe a cypress
bush was mlraculously planted to
shelter n statue of the clty's patron
saint, Giovanni Orslnl, and that the
same saints spirit nourlshes It. They
also believe that the book which the
Lion of st. Mark holds was snapped
shut when Venice rellnquished the Is
land, rather than that the statue was
carved that way. The town has less
than 10000 population and fairly
breathes a medieval spirit. The houses
are built so close together that vehicle
traffic is almost impossible, and the
streets are so crooked that pedes-
TRANS find difficulty getting around.
This was because Of military neces-
sity at the time the artistic little
city was created.
The father of the Dalmation history,
Giovanni Lucio, was born there. King
Bella ~ fed there after the Tartars
overrun his country, but continued to
Kraglievac when the intrenched city
was beselged, although 1t did not fall.
Byzantines, Huns, Franks, Genoese
and Venetlans fought for Trau, the
Saracens looted 1t, Napoleon took It in
1906, and the Austrlans gained 1t seven
years later.
