PEACE ASSURANCE SEEN

PHILADELPHIA. February 5.-The

century had Germany been permitted
to retain some of her African posses
sions. and the security of the whole

International law, before the Phila-

peace conference here.

Concerning mandates. he said:

hope that the mandate system viii be
so administered by the league of ma

vulture attitude toward backward
territories which produced so much
international friction during the first

Between all lives there is link.
Peter Rabbit.
1t is wonderful. 1t is one of the most
wonderful things in all the Great World.
But somehow few people ever seem to
think of it. Peter himself never had
thought of it until that day when he
sat hidden by the long dead grass that
hung over Johnny Chucks back door and
watched Reddy Fox watching for him
to come out of Johnny Chucks front
door.
For ever and ever so long Reddy Fox
sat watching that front door and Peter
Rabbit sat watching Reddy Fox. Reddy
certainly had patience. He had great
deal of it. But Petar had quite as
much. He was comfortable and safe
there and he didn't mind sitting still
at all Besides, it was fun to watch
Reddy Fox. knowing all the time that
Reddy didn't know he was being
watched.
After a long time Reddy sat up a lit
tie straighter and raised his head a
across the Green Meadows. 1t was
plain that he saw something that in
terested him. Peter looked, too. Sail
ing over the snow-covered Green
Meadows was great dark bird. 1t
was Roughleg the Hawk. Just as

ed down until his great claws touch
ed the snow. Then his great wings
began to beat again and carried him
up and away toward the furthest side
of the Green Meadows, and Peter
knew by the way he flew that he had
caught no one.
1T must be he saw Danny Meadow
Mouse and Danny was too quick for
him." thought Peter. Good for
Danny" Then Peter once more
turned to watch Reddy Fox.
Reddy was standing now, looking
very intently toward the place where
Roughleg the Hawk had swooped
down to the snow. He turned to look
again at that front door. of Johnny
Chuck's house he had been watching
SO long, then once more gazed over
the place where Roughleg had failed.
He took a few steps, hesitated. then,
with a last look at Johnny Chuck s
front door, trotted swiftly across the
snow-covered Green Meadows.
He knows that Roughleg saw
Danny Meadow Mouse over there and
missed him." thought Peter. HE is
going over there to try to catch Danny
enough to keep quiet"
Peter watched Reddy trot SWIFTLY
until he was near the place where
Roughleg had failed. Then Reddy
stole forward very slowly and care
fully stopping between each step to
look and listen, his black ears cooked
forward. Finally he crouched down
and for a long time didn't move, he
was waiting and watching for Danny
Meadow Mouse just as he had waited
and watched for Peter
