Dear Uncle Jed: As haven't written to you in, some time I thought I would write and tell you about a pet rooster. Isshave an uncle in the city who had 9 pet rooster. He. called him Bill. My un- cie brought it out to our farm to have It well taken care of. It was about a foot and a half high. He had such long legs and big feet he could go across the yard in few steps. Every Sunday my uncis would have to come out and sec It. 7 He was so tame that he would come right to you when you called him Bin. My uncle put him on a rock one day to have his picture taken.

GERMANY MUST ADMIT GUILT

At a banquet given by the city of
Lille to President Millerand of France
and King Albert of Belgium the
French president declared there could
be no peace until Germany admitted
her responsibility for the war. He
declared that the admission was made
by Germany's plenipotentiaries at the
Versailles peace table and that her
guilt was recently laid ON her by the
U. S. Government. If they continue
to deny it in the face of the evidence,
he said, might must make right.
King Albert in reply agreed to the
presidents position. Lille, the CEN
ter Of mining and manufacturing
region and the largest city in north
ern France, was occupied by the
Germans for over three years.

LAW ABOLISHES ALL TITLES

Austria has for some time had a
law forbidding titles of nobility, but
it was found that counts, barons and
others who were proud of their an
cient ancestry had found a way to
evade the restrictions Their titles
we're engraved in full on their visit
ing cards and stationery and then
crossed out by thin line. A new
law was accordingly passed making
that practice punishable with six
months Imprisonment. In France all
5uch titles were abolished by the rev
olution but later, in the republic, no
bles were permitted, and they are
still permitted to use them for pure
ly ornamental purposes.

they feared the penalty for failure to
do so. Today they do this not only
because they appreciate the advan-
tages of such registration, but also
because it shows arlack of pride and
is a discredit to a parent not to do
so.
Perhaps nothing has demonstrate
ed the value of birth registration so
conclusively as the late war. Every
reMrned soldier who was a father
and had a compensation claim has
been required to furnish birth GER
