 q return herewith, without my sig nature House joint resolution 327. intended to repeal the joint resolution of April 6, 1917, declaring a. state of war to exist between the United States and Germany, and the joint resolution of December ', 1917. declaring state of war to exist between the United States and the Austro Hungarian gov ernment, and to declare a state of peace. I have not felt at liberty to sign this joint resolution. because ] cannot bring myself to become party to an action which would place inef fecable stain upon the gallantry ana honor of the United States. The resolution seeks to establish peace with the German empire, without exactinG fl om the German government any ac- tion by way of setting right the in finite wrongs which it did to the peo- ples whom it attacked. and whom we professed it our purpose to assist when we entered the war. Have we Sacri feed the lives of more than 100, 00a Americans and ruined the lives of thousands of others and brought upon thousa nds of American families an un. happiness that can never end for pur- poses which we do not now care to state, or take further steps to attain The attainment of these purposes is provided for in the treaty of Versailles by terms deemed adequate by the lead ing statesmen and experts of all the great peoples who were associated in the war against Germany.

of interesting onlookers. The most
difficult task in the separation Of

cessful1y done. Many of the big far
mers in the vicinity have watched the
mill in operation, and pronounce it an
unqualified success. According to H.

stock sales are very satisfactory. The
possibilities Of the machine and the
unlimited demand for one, able to do
this kind of work, being big factor
in its favor.
