. Yes, no man worthy of the name
| could possibly condemn it
l' The only thing is, are we sure that
fe plan prepared In Paris will result
L in anything but a simple limitation of
;’urmumf-mu‘?
It is clear that the task of recon
s«tructing the world should not be
limited to that. I hope that this plan
may be developed and perfected, The
nnidons will not be satisfied if after so
many miseries and S 0 many promises
+hev should find tomorrow a world as
1 and as miserable as before,
" harbor no hatred against the
mans, However great may have
Leon our sufferings, 1 wish no evil to
thoge who have made us suffer. Har
“mony among the men of my country,
which | desire to see always secured,
is fo' me one of the forms of uni
‘versal brotherhood. but I place above,
rather higher than the sentiment of
this brotherhood evemt, respect for
right. the necessary basis of relation
between nations.
That is why, In order to avold the
return of the old horrors, 1 ask for
guarantees for the future.
1 should not wish that the Paris
conference should result in the frus
tration of the hopes of those who
suffered. 1 should not wish that their
Jong trial should have been borne in
vain. So I say that peace should rest
on a foundation of justice, and not
to forget the guilty ones. |
To my mind the Government should. |
so- future generations, set to work to{
rer der impossible the repetition of
erimes from which the world is still
bleeding. The hour of Christian mer.
cy will come later, I am skeptical
about the change in German mental
ity Defeat will certainly help to
cnange it. 1 am not one of those who
helieve that the democratic metamor
authorities a program for the visit
will be arranged.
Toe flotilla will be preceded by an
wdvarce party to make arrangements
for its reception. This party will
trave! on one of the submarine chas
ere and will be in dirsct communica
tiorn with the flotilla both by radio
and wireless telephone.
The advance arrangements are in
charge of Lieutenant Commander
Wells Hawks, lovery effort is being
made to inform the people of all sec
tions near the river towns of the date
of the visit, and in this regard the
Navy Department is receiving the
hearty assistance of the press and
public officials.
The flotilla will be in command of
Lievterant Commander T. G. Berrien,

The K-5 submarine, which will be
the flagship of the anti-submarine
flotilla, is of the Holland type, 151
feet long and 16-foot beam. She
holds a record for having made the
longest trip ever accomplished by an
American submarine without tender
or convoy. The vessel is equipped
with two 8-cylinder 4-(‘¥¢le Diesel en.
gines. manufactured by the New Lon
don Ship and Engine Company. She
carries eight torpedoes, has four tor
pedo tubes and has a range for un
dersea firing of ¥ 1-2 miles,
When war was declared Q#e K-5
was being overhauled at tfle navy
vard, Philadelpbia. Receiving orders
to proceed to the war zone, she salled
from Halifax October 4, 1917, for
Ponta Delgada, Azores, and arriving
there on October 27, began submarine
work immediately., The K-5 returned
to the United States May 18, 1918,
and installed new engines and com
;plete equipment for making one of
the most efficient submarines in the
navy.
| She was again prepared to return to
the war zone when the armistice was
signed. At that time the ship was at
New London and sailed from that
port for Keyv West without tender.
K-5 can run at a speed of 13 knots
on the surface and 10 1-2 knots sub
merged. The time taken to dive will
the longest is the most
comfortable. Don't be al

? DEADWOOD, 8. D, May 24.-—The
Sloux Incgans have Just had a “Vie
tory” dance to celebrate the downtall
of the Germans, It wax the first vie
jtory dance since the Custer massacre
in 1876,
i The first f@ure of the victory “dance’
wias the hagsing of the Kaiser in effigy.
Indian scouls were sent out to obgerve
the “enemy.” When they came back
! they vlrnr‘ed the body of the Kaiser
behind them, Then the Indians shot
hhn body full of holes, scalped and hung
|it high on a pole. Afterwards the
tbody was lowered and an American
!flng ralsed on the pole. Then Kalser's
body was then burned on a huge bon
fire
! The Sioux Indians were very much
lexcited throughout the war. They were
like a hill of disturbed ants. \War was
| the national pastime of the Sioux for
|BO many hundreds of years that they
‘t.'uulcl not easily overcome their warlike
propensities in a single generatiy, The
fact that America was in a foreign war
jwas the only topic of conversation
ramong the members of the tribe. And
"the Sjoux sent a large number of theip
(young men to the camps and the
trenches
| Danced All Night,
| The victory dance was held in the
jevening—all night long, in fact, after
it once got under full steam ahead, Be.
{fore the door of the dance hall, the
| “Omaha,” was bullt a great fire of full
{length logs. The hall itself was a build
"ing tightly boarded on all sides, but
Iwith a brush roof. There was no floor
'Ulhr! than the dirt, which had been
| packed hard by the dancing of many red
| feet for years and years. A dozen kero
“ene lamps gave a feeble light in the
great building. Around the rsom, in
convenient places, were kettles of cook
ed meat for the dancers when they be
| came hungry
i Instead of the ice cream and the i«‘»sl
tof the white men, the Indians u.wl
,vhunks of meat between dances, ‘
In the Center was the big tom-tom.
‘ll was a huge drum made of the skin |
of a steer stretched tightly over :mJ
|ash sapling formed into a circle. ’l‘h»}
\spring of the sapling kept' the skin |
tight. Agound the tom-tom were some |
!oiyhl or ten men-—the players |
. There was a speech before the danc
irg. The ‘address was made by a
| scliool teacher who told the Indians that
‘the Kuropean war was their fight just
I:w much as it was the fight. of lhu‘
white man, and that the victory was
as much their victory as it was thv‘
victory of the white people. This pleased |
the Indians until they broke into ap
plause-—a very rare occurrence among
the Indians,
Immediately upon the cloge of the
speech the. tom-tom began its peculiar
rhythm-—a rhythm which to the unso
phisicated ear seems only a beating, but
which soon becomes “‘catching.”
Became a Frenzy. ‘
Then the Victory dance started. It
was not a wild paean at first. As the
night advanced the dancing became a
frenzy. but in its early stages it was
“tame’’ —probably a contrast to the clos
ing steps, :
First the women of the tribe, each
bearing a small American flag, formed
& cirele around the tom-tom. They
pointed their flags at the center and
then fell into the gide of the “side
step” which looks so foolishly easy, but}
which proves too much for white mus
cles and endurance. ‘
Then a number of men leaped out
onto the floor and gave the dance for
the young men who were away at war.
l Then the tom-tom called the dancers
to the real event of the evening—the
real Victory dance. The tom-tom was
re-enforced by the shrill screams of
half a dozen old women who squatted
on the dirt floor in the way p«cullm“
to Indians. A great circle was formed.
Some of the dancers had American flags
Some had Indian flags. Many carried
service flags with one, two and three
stars. Occasionally there was a flag
with a gold star. ’

1% finally and completely lifted from
France's sorrows, after the curtain
has peer, rung down on the peace
conference, one enduring wrong
which the Germans perpetrated will
alwayvs burn in every Frenchman's
mind and may go a long way to ex«
plair -why France could not accept
the figures of financial experts in
arriving at a definite figure on re
parations in the treaty of peace,
This wrong concerns the living
rather than the dead—the scores
upon scores of innocent children
brought into the world as physical
and mental wrecks because their
maothers were subjected to German
frigntfulness,
The air raid and the long-range
gun were the real demons of the
war whose damage even time can
not efface, and whatever muaterial
wealth the Germans may be forced
to give up will in no wise reconcile
France to this greatest of ali her
SOITOWS,
How many little human derelicts
there are in Paris and other French
cities and towns as a result ‘-of
these outrages has not been defi
nitely ascertained, but experts say
they are numerous. Scarcely a hos
pital or an asylum is without them,
and they are found in homes of rich
and poor alike,
The decisions of the peace con
ference can not change things. Fac
tories in Belgium and Northern
France may be replaced, taxes lev
ied on civilian populations may be
returned, former Kaisers and gen
erals may be severely dealt with by
international tribunals, nbut the
minds of these countless numbers
of little children who are so impor
tant a part of the French national

It is alone France's sorrow, and

LONDON, May 24.-The new chimes|
that are to ring out a clanon ol pea -.»l
from old Westminster's tower on lho'
day the great pact of the nations is!
signed at Versallles are now cast and ]
being swung in the bell tower of \‘w’
tamous old cathedral. Four in all, the !
nawl! fashioned bells have been pro
vided to complete the ancient chimes
of Westminster, silent through the war
because of the cracking of some of the
originals and the scarcity of metal
which denied replacement
One of the new bells is founded
from the metal of an old .one, about
which legend nas it that when the
Spanish Armada was scatgered by the
intrepld Sir Francis Drake this bell
added its booming note to the chorus
which rocked the old London of Queen
Bess The other, three were cast of
new metal by the bell foundry of
Messrs, Mears & Stainbank, down in
Whitechapel—a firm which has been
giving tune to bell metal since the
sixteenth century. In the dim interior
of this old bell foundry is the frags
ment of a bell cast in 1394 with the
name of Robert Most, original bell
founder, cast beneath the date.
When these news peace bells of
Westminster were being wrought Kinz
GGeorge and Queen Mary, accompanie
by the Princess Mary and the Dean of
Westminster, paid a visit to the foundry
and met the workmen who were put
ting the finishing touches on the great
hronze clarion. The royal personaces
expressed a wish to take a part in the|
actual casting of the last of the quar
tette, then ready for the white hot
metal,
Two small molds were prepared and
the Queen and Princess each lifted a
ladle "of liquid metal and filled the
molds. When they are shaped up these
miniature bells will be sent to Buck
ingham as mementoes of the roval visit.
The largest of the four Westmin
ster bells is known as the King’'s bell
and bears this inseription: “The Lord
of Hosts Is With Us.” A second bell,
which the workmen have named Ruth,
bears this excerpt from the Book of
Ruth: “There Is None Other That
Fighteth for Us.”
All the bells will be in place in time
for the ‘“Jubilante,” which the old
chimer of Westminster will sound the
day the news of peace comes from
Paris.

PITTRBURG, May 24 What ‘m. TR
by church leaders 1o be the first vy
move toward church union In Lt
United States, if not In the inodern
world, I 8 being made here Three
church congregations of different des
nominations—Christian, Baptist and
Presbyterian—each radically differing
from the other In its doctrinal views
are planning to merge in one grooat
congregation and build an interdenoni=
inational church
Every question in connection wi i
the details of the merger has becn
agreed upon except baptism, and it is
said that this would be amicably ad
justed by making the method of bap
tism—sprinkling or immersion—ou
tional with the individual or his spon
sor. ’
The merger was the result of out,
door union meetings of the three
church last summer. Committees weie
appointed later to confer on consolida~
tion. Tnhe committees ironed out all
the doctrinal rlim-rrnsos until the is
sues of baptism and® communion pa
riodg appeared Both the Presbyterian
and Christian churches have open com
munion, the Baptist distributing H
every month, the Christian every weelf
while in the Presbyterian Church the
service is solemnized every three
months. A compromise will be effected
whereby communion will be given prob
ably every two weeks or every month
