ROME (by mall) ~The league of
nations!
Yes, no man worthy of the name
could possibly condemn it,
The only thing Is, are we sure that
the plan prepared in Paris will result
i anything but a simple limitation of
armaments”?
It i® clear that the task of recon
structing the world should not be
limited to that. I hope that this plan
may be developed and perfected. The
natlons will not be satisfied If after so
many miseries and so many promises
they should find tomorrow a world as
gad and as miserable as before. {
I harbor no hatred against the
Germans. However great may have
been our sufferings, I wish no evil to
those who have made us suffer. Har
mony among the men of my country,
which 1 desire to see always secured,
is for me one of the forms of unl
versal brotherhood; but I place above,
rather higher than the sentiment of
this brotherhood event, respect for
right, the necessary basis of relatlon
between nations.
That is why, in order to avoid 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
guffered, T shotrld not wish that their
long trial should have been borne in
valn. 8o I say that peace should rest
on a foundation of justice, and not
to forget the guilty ones.
To my mind the Government should,
for future (:nerations. set to work to
rer der impossible the repetition of
crimes from which the world is still
bleeding. The hour of Christian mer
ey will come later. 1 am skeptical
about the change In German mental

The flotilla will be preceded by an

The K-5 submarine, which will be

flotilla, is of the Flolland 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-cycle Diesel en.

carries eight torpedoes, has four tor
pedo tubes and has a range for un

never be a free people.

I was planning to escape from my
eplscopal house in order to lead the
popular revolt. T consented then to
promise that I would avoid going out

day an officer brought me a letter
from the Governor; a motor car laden
with soldiers followed him and came
into the courtyard. A moment after
ward, having occasion to go over to
the opposite wing of the building, to
get a document, I went down the
staire and was going to cross the
courtyard. Instantly an officer who
guarded me leveled his revolver at
me, whilst he soldiers burst out
laughing. They were convinced that

goldiers alone, but I could not help
saying to the officer: "I pity you peo

The (. 8. 8. Isabel, which will carry
the larger part of the personnel of

over at the outhreak of the war. She
is of fine destroyer type, very swift,
and when on active service in foreign
waters during the war accounted her
wolf with finest results. She carries a
splendid gun equipment.
The chasers which will be in the

will always be known as the out

supplied with powerful engines and
are very fine. Their service has heen

i ORDERED TO “SPRUCE UP.”
i (By International News Service.)
COLUMBUS, OHIO, May 24.-—" Spruce

given to Columbus patroimen by the di
rector of public safety. Sergeants have
heen instructed to have an inspection at

ing and unshined shoes. Since the order
has gone forth it is to be noticed that the

old days.
t DEADWOOD, 8. D, May 24.-~The
Sloux Indguns have just had & *“Vie
‘lm*y“ dance to celebrate the downfall
of the Germans, It was the first vie
tory dance since the Cysgter massacre
in 1876,
The first fgure of the victory "dance”
was the hagsing of the Kalser In effigy.
Indian seouts were sent out to observe
the “enemy.” When they came back
they dragged the body of the Kalser
behind t’r‘om Then the Indlans shot
dhe body full of holes, scalped and hung
it high on a pole. Afterwards the
body was lowered and an American
fiag raised on the pole. Then Kalser's
hludy was then burned on a huge bon
fire
The Sioux Indians were very much
execited throughout the war. They were
like a hill of disturbed ants. War was
the national pastime of the Sioux for
80 many hundreds of years that they
could not easily overcome their warlike
propensities in a single generatiy. The
fact that America was in a foreign war
was the only topic of conversation
among the members of the tribe. And |
the Sioux sent a large number of theip
young men to the camps and the
trenches. ‘
‘ Danced All Night,
The victory dance was held In the
evening—all night long, in fact, after
it once got under full steam ahead. Be
fore the door of the dance hall, the
“Omaha,’” was built a great fire of full
length logs. The hall itself was a build
ing tightly boarded on all sides, but
with a brush roof. There was no floor
other than the dirt, which had been
packed hard by the dancing of many red
feet for years and years. A dozen kero
sene lamps gave a feeble light in the
great bullding. Around the room, in
convenient places, were kettles of cook
ed meat for the dancers when they be
came hungry.
Instead of the ice cream and the ices
of the white men, the Indians use
chunks of meat between dances.
In the center was the big tom-tom,
It was a huge drum made of the skin
of a steer stretched tightly over an
ash sapling formed into a circle, The
epring of the sapling kept the skin
tight., Agound the tom-tom were some
eight or ten men-—the players,
There was a sgpeech before the dane
irg. The address was made by a
school teacher who told the Indians that
the FEuropean war was their fight just
as much as it was the fliht of the
white man, and that the victory was
as much their victory as it was the
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 close 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. Tt
was not a wild pacan at first. As the |
night advanced the dancing became n‘
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, formeoli
a circle around the tom-tom. They
pointed their flags at the center and |
then fell into the gide of the ‘“side
alor" 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.
| Then the tom-tom called the dancers
to the real event of the evening—the
real Victory dance, The tom-tom was
re-enforeced by the shrill sereams of
half a dozen old women who squatted
on the dirt floor in the way peculiar
to Indians. A great circle was formed.
Some of the dancers had American flags.
Some had Indian flags. Many carried
Isr-r\'lvc flage with one, two and three
stars. Occasionally thére was a flag
with a gold star.

(The Stars and Stripes, the official
organ of the American Expeditionary
Army abroad, publishes the following
article): N\
Kenneth €. Yale, who tried to enlist
at the beginning of the war and
couldn’'t, and later lled to the draft
board about his age and then got
caught, has ever since been doing his
bit by writing cheerful letters every
week to the boys of the Becond FPla
toon, Company G, 137th Infantry. Once
Mr. Yale boldly wrote that there was
no such animal as the famed cootie
“He is 1 myth,” sald the letter, “‘a bid
for sympathy from the folks back
home."”
This accusation so incensed the Sec
ond Platoon that they seated them
gelveg by a shell-torn roadside, on the
edge of the Argonne Forest, opened
their shirts, each man selecting a fine
cootle specimen, donating him to a
colleciion which was wrapped In a
handkerchief, incloged in an envelope
and adaresesd to Mr, Yale,
That Mr. Yale received the envelope
is proved by his next letter to the
bove, which is as follows:
“A doughboy-—name of Stanford -ad
dress somewhere in France--a reckless
youth and wilful, always game to take
A chance-—sent a bunch of Yankee coot
ies to a buddie--name of Yale, and to
show his indeperdence, sent the bloom
in"” birds by malil
“After some delay in transit-—I should
he the last to blame Uncle Sam's al
leged mail service—in the little rascals
came-‘came to hand® we usged to say it
but we do not say 1t now--for these
blessed beasts of burden came, it seems,
to start a row.
“Chap named Yale, it seems, was
married—fully married vou might say—
and the wife he chose to live with had
a clever little way--little ways perhaps
were better—-ways of screaming at a
bug-—ways of wondering at night time
whether fleas were in her rug—ways of
hating tiny insects—hate, you know, is
born of fear—and she even cut out
ldrinking—couldn't stand the hops in
eer,
“O'er the chaos now impending, 1
should like to draw a veil, o'er the
riot and confusion that pervides the
house of Yale. So I'll spare your ten
der feclings, spare your hearts and
save your tears--you can fancy, I don’t
doubt it, what I'll go through for vears.
“Are there cooties in the hangings
in the coatgs or in the hats—-what are
those things in the basement, are they
cooties—only bats? Seems to me 1 feel
an itching—is it hives or cootie spawn-—
will they bite like this forever—don’t
they ever stop to yawn? They're not
cooties you would tell me?—only woolen
underwear? Well, it may be you are
right, dear, but it seems to me they're
there,
“Seems to me they're in the closet,
also back behind the books—~in the
dresser drawers or bath room-—don’t
they hunt secluded nooks? Nooks from
which to pounce upon vou—bite and
lacerate your skin? Oh, I'll bet—(Dog
gone Sam Stanford!) there's no nook
they are not in,
‘“This same doughboy—name of Stan
ford--same address—somewhere in
France--gsure is getting mighty reckless
~—sure does take a desperate chance-—
when he deluges his victim—writes him
letters by the ton—wants to know with
expedition, ‘Did them lively cooties
come?’
“Brother, T am here to tell you, they
arrove—l'll say they did—they arrove
with colors flying—one named Charley
doffed his lid.—But with full apprecia
tion of your efforts one and all, T don't
want your little playmates—l don't like
them,” not at all.
“If you have them in profusion, more
in fact than you should like—wouldn't
it avoid confusion if vou'd send them
down the pike—down the lane that has
no turning, headed toward Berlin, my
friend-—where, in Hell with Fritzie
burning, they would find a fitting end.

| Nip” at Infirmary
CHICAGO, May 24.—Squire James, ne
gro, was being admitted to the Oak For
est Infirmarv,
“My goodness!" said James. “Here I
have been saving my money for a long,
long time and thought I had enough to
see me through until my time eame to die;
but whe'd a-though I would live to be
118 years old?”

And, boss, do I get to keep my pipe and

Constitute a Debt
't Collect
France Can't Collec
By JOMN T. PARKERSON,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S,
PARIS ( by mall).—When the vell
is finally and completely lifted from
France's sorrows, after the curtain
has been rung down on the peace
conference, one enduring wrong
which the Germans perpetrated will
always burn in every Irenchman's
mind and may go a long way to ex
plalr 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 gscores
upon scores of innocent children
brought into the world as physical
and mental wrecks because their
mothers were subjected to German
frightfulness,
The air raid and the long-range
gun were the real demons of the
war whose damage even time can
not efface, and whatever material
wealth the Germans may be forced
to give up will in no wise reconcile
I'rance to this greatest of all her
BOlrrows.
How many little human derelicts
there are in Paris and other French
cities and towns as a result of
these outrages has not been defl
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, bdut the
minds of these countless numbers
of little children who are so impor
tant a part of the Irench national
life of the future can not be re
stored,
It is alone France's sorrow, and
France, although the victor in the
war, must pay the bill.
CHICK HAS FOUR LEGS.

has a freak chicken, for which the high
cost of living has ‘no terrors. It was

By ROBERT WELLES RITCHIE.
LONDON, May 24.—The new chimes
that are to ring out & clanon of peace
from old Westminster's tower on the
day the great pact of the nations lis
gigned at Versailles are now cast and
being swung in the bell tower of the
famous old cathedral, Four in all, the
newly 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 has It that when the
Spanish Armada was scattered by the
intrepid Sir Francis Drake this bell
added its booming note to the chorus
which rocked the old lL.ondon 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 sgince the
sixteenth century. In the dim interior
of this old bell foundry is the frag
ment of a bell cast in 1594 with the
name of Robert Mott, original beH
founder, cast beneath the date,
When these news peace bells of
Westminster were being wrought Kin
George and Queen Mary, :u'mmlmnieg
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
bronze clarion. The royal personages
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
gter bells is known as the King’'s bell
and bears this inscription: “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.

(By Juternational News Serviee,)
PITTSBURG, May 24.~-What is said
by church leaders to be the first real
move toward church union In tho
United States, if not in the modern
world, 18 belng made here Three
church congregations of different de
nominations—Christian, ~ Baptist ~ and
Presbyterian—each radically differing
from the other In its doetrinal views,
are planpning to merge in one great
congregation and build an interdenoms
inational church.
livery question in eonnection with
the details of the merger has beed
agreed upon except baptism, and it r;
said that this would be amicably ad=
justed by making the method of bap
tism-—gprinkling or immersion=-op=
tional with the Individual or his spon=
sor.
The merger was the result of outs«
door union meetings of the three
church last summer. Committees wers
appointed later to confer on consolida«
tion. The committees froned out all
the doctrinal differences until the is
sues of baptism and communion pe
riods appeared. Both the Presbxterian
and Christian churches have open ¢com
munion, the Baptist distributing it
every month, the Christian every week,
while in the Presbyterian Church the
service I 8 solemnized every three
months. A ecompromise will be effected
whereby communion will be given prob
ably every two weeks or every month,
