PRESIDENT WILSON
WITHDRAWS FROM
CONFERENCE TODAY
The Italian Delegates Have Warned The Council That
They Must Settle Adriatic Question Before f
Next Wednesday--Are Uncompromising
PARIS, April 21.—The Supreme Council met today to thresh
out the territorial claims of Italy, with President Wilson absent.
The President’s withdrawal from the meeting is the result of
Italy basing herdemands on the Pact of London, which was con
i sumated before America entered the war and which America re
i yards as nullified along with all other secret treaties.
The Italian delegates have warned the council r>ul they must
| have a decision on their Adriatic claims before Wednesday this
week and are uncompromising in their attitude.
WHY THE WAR ENDED A YEAR BEFORE EXPECTED
—
j The war ended .iust at the time when this country had struck
I its gait in war preparations. No one had expected such an ear
ly and comnletecollapse of Germany's war machinery. But a
| full realization of America’s whole hearted entry iutc he war
j brought Germany’s “yellow streak’- into the open.
All of our military plans were focused upon the spring cam
paign in 1919. By early summer we expected to put into the
i field against Germany such a mass of well trained, full eouipped
j soldiers' supported bv such an overwhelming simnlv of guns and
| aircraft as to insure SWIFT and DECISIVE VICTORY.
When we entered the war in April. 1917. we were entirely un
I nrepared. It seemed absurd to them that we could get readv to
take anv effective part in less than three or four years. Stop
and considerwhat was accomplished in a little more than one
year! Certainlv. the cost was great! But wasn’t it worth it?
Our huge production was accomplished under severe handicap
as follows: (1> Our first military duty was to supnly the needs
of the allies and to keep a constant flow of munitions and food
stuffs going toEngland. France and Italy. (21 The navy came
next for consideration because it was the medium of getting
everything over there. (3) Ships had next attention. We had
to keen building, building, building ships. It was a mad race
with the submarine. After first giving all these things consid
eration then came the problems of constructing our own army
and transporting it over there: of manufacturing tanks’ artillery,
machine guns, aircraft, ammunition, etc., for our own men.
In April. 1917. our army consisted of 190,000 men including
officers. When the armistice was signed we h*d 3.734420 men
actually in the service. 300,000 of these were in the front line
trenches with a great stream of “fighting devils reaching all
the way to American shores, ready to pour in upon the Huns. Is
it any "wonder that Germany became panicky and gave up?
Americans do things and do them quickly. We pledged 600,
000 American soldiers to be in France by July 1918. On that
date we had 1.900,000 men on French soil.
The Victory Loan Is To Pay For Lives Saved
It was this gigantic production of ships, artillery, machine
guns, rifles, ammunition, tanks, mustard gas, other armaments
and food stuffs and the ever increasing line of soldiers coming,
coming, coming, that made the Germans run up the white flag
at the time they did. The cost of these things was great and it
must be paid. So get ready to subscribe for the VICTORY Li
berty Loan and REMEMBER THAT THIS LOAN IS TO PAY
FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YOUNG AMERICAN
LIVES saved by the early ending of the war.
ARMY SURGEONS
REBUILD YANKS
BODY AND MIND
Reconstruction—no, that’s too pro
sale. Regeneration is the only word
that can describe the remarkable work
of rebuilding the wounded in the mili
tary hospitals. One feels, after a tour
of one of these hospitals, that he has
been permitted a visit to a divine
workshop where men are fashioned in
parts, put together, and taught to func
tion. God made Adam of dust, but
these modern scientific surgeons make
tin ir men of wood and iron, gold and
silver, "bone and clay. That is the
physical.
Of the mental and spiritual—that
which is intangible—well, only this:
thi*se surg -s tbiow into their men of
wood and .. n, gold and silver, bone
> and clay, a pirit. And having blown
f is to their pr.uuct this spirit, they feed
th.j spirit. Then months later from
hi: hospital walks a man who was a
.nj'Chinhtt before his legs were (blown
fiff at Chateau Thierry. Now he is a
draughtsman on his way to a Job, con
fident, happy, independent. He Is walk
ini' on legs of iron and wood. You
would have to see him take them off
before you would believe it. He walks
sc well. Yet his legs are no newer
than his spirit or his ability as a
draughtsman. Nor is his spirit or
ability lt.s# firm than those uew legs
of wood and iron.
The Cost
There are 1200 war wounded and sick
in !-etU<r«an General Hospital in the
Presidio at San Francisco. Moat of
those men from the Argoune, Belleau
Wood, St. Mihiel, Chateau Thierry, are
being ' remade bodily and spiritually.
Of the two phases of their regenera
tion, t :s perhaps the more
d ifr: ult. For when i man Is mangled
.? 'i rs legs, or his arm or faia eyes, he
is rot to lose more than those physi
ol assets. He loses his etc omic val
u.. and with it his confidence and his
self-respect. For proof of ti nt we
ave the legless, the armless, the Und
egging on our street corners. Tl. y
have lost their spirit.
Of course, this divine workshop of
the military surgeons Is an expensive
regenerator. It takes thousands of
dollars .-ach month to carry on the
work in Letter-man Hospital alone, and
Letterman is only one of many such
hospitals, all of them run by the gov
ernment.
So now when the Victory Liberty
Loan comes aknoeking at your door,
remember that a big part of tho money
you lend is to be used to keep run
ning the machinery of these divine
workshops Where men who wero man
kind for love of America are facing re
made.
