THE FOURTEEN POINTS

81 Worth rereadng in criss-scarred 1889 are the
famous Fourteen Points of President Wilson, set
forth address made to joint session of Congress
January g. 1918 nine months after entered the
war-happy still referred to here the last" war
q Most people have forgotten what the Fourteen
Points contained. 1t is time to remember. Remem-
brance will help clarity minds in crises to come
especially with relation to pleas that again try to
make Europe over according to lights.
Rereading the Fourteen Points will recall visit
fully the vision of the World War days the ideasm
which carried forward-and at the same time show
just how few of those points bear any impress upon
the picture of Europe today
Since the Points read to a nation burning to
make the world safe for democracy, 81 years have
passed long enough for a to grow up and know
enough in the eyes of the law to take of himself
ntellgenty Is it long enough for a nation to grow
up and achieve mature attitude toward its response
bities? Or is it too long that we may have for
gotten the lesson of the World War and its disap-
pointing aftermath?
Hoping they will help remember, here are the
Fourteen Points
Open covenants of peace openly arrived at
after which there shall be private international
understandings of any kind but diplomacy shall pro-
coed always frankly and in the public view.
2.--Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas
outside territorial waters alike in peace and in war
except the may be closed in whole or in part
by international action for the enforcement OF inter-
national covenants
3.-The removal, SO far as possible, of all economic
barriers and the establishment of equality of trade
conditions among all the nations consenting to the
peace and associang themselves for its maintenance
Adequate guarantees given and taken that
national ornaments will be reduced to the lowest
point consistent with domestic safety.
s. free open-minded and absolutely impartial
adustmenl u 81 colonial claims based upon strict
observance OF the principle that in determining all
such questions of sovereignty the interests of the popu
lations concerned must have equal weight with the
equitable claims Of the Government whose title is to
be deternl NED
6-The evacuation of all Russian territory, and
such settlement of all questions affecting Russia
will The 5st and freest cooperation of the other
nations of tn world IL obtaining for her unham-
pered and membarraSsed opportunity for the indie
pendent determination of her political develop
ment and national policy and her of sicere
welcome into the society of free nations under nstit
lions of her choosing; and. more than welcome
assistance also of every kind that she may need and
may herself desire. The treatment accorded Russia
by her sister nations in the months to come will be
the acid test of their good will of their comprehension

Horoscope
The stars incline
but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1899

Benefic aspects rule the early
morning hours according to as
trology, but later adverse influences
are strong. 1t is wise to do as much
as possible before the usual office
hours.
Heads of business and all in COM
mand should benefit, but they must
accept extra responsibilities in com
ing months.
Those who seek employment may
be successful if they are at the shop
or factory doors when they open this
morning, later there may be dis
appointment.
Despite the advice to practice
thrift there will be much eXtrava
CANT spending attended with ponp
and ceremony, though plans for en-
PERTAINING visitors may be suddenly
changed. Elaborate Inequalities may
become unpopular.
Young women are counseled to
avoid sudden and ill-judged love
affairs. Reckless romances may be
numerous through the summer.
Uranus is in an aspect supposed
to stimulate unrest and discomfort,
rebellion and distorted points of
view. Unjust criticism may result
from propaganda aimed at govern
mental policies in the United States.
Under this direction of the stars
medical training and surgery will
be popular among young men and
women
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of prosperity
and general well-being. Love affairs
may be troublesome to many.
Children born on this day may be
exceedingly talented and intellec-
tual. Many will have artistic tai
ents and will command success.
