THE Conference Of Commits

those piecemeal peace con-
ference arrangements by which
the postwar world is being set
up before the war is over in
the hope that much may be
accomplished now in the atmoS-
phere of war emotions. TO which
the American people would or
dinarily not agree.
Meeting between May 9 and

represented u American coun-
tries.
Among the recommendations
and resolutions is Number XII
concerning synthetic products,
a subject that will interest the
American people not only be-
cause of our huge investment IN
synthetic rubber, but also be-
cause of the vast expansion Of
our chemical industries, par

got tear gas. We heard a plane

the probability at least is very
great. While we still have
plenty of reports of men not
wearing their masks overseas, Il
won't be the army's fault. Every
man gets mask drill hammered

Well. then. we came up to oui

began to rain just about the
time we have our packs unrolled

equipment spread around on the

can get rained on and take il

way a dog does, but that's one
thing that civilization has taken
