World Peace Hoped
For Within 60 Days
The securing of this air fleet to
exhibit In Ashland was due largely
to the efforts of E. V. Carter, who,
while In Portland last week took up
the matter with the Rose Festival
committee, and later communicated
with Col. Thomas W. Hammond In
Washington. The latter telegraphed
Mr. Carter that he had consulted Col
Davis, executive officer of the air
service, and that orders, had been
stent to the effect that the Southern
- Oregon cities were to be Included in
the Itinerary of the air flight.'

Company I Given
Guns and Uniforms
Company I of the National Guard
has received one hundred rifles to
be used for drilling, and enough unl
forms to complete the Hut already on
hand that had been .provided for.tfie
state militia. It is expected that
federal officer will visit this com
pany about the first of May, after
which the company will be mustered
Into the federal army and will be
provided with entire uniforms and
full equipment.
It has been decided by Company
I to drill only one night a week, and
next Monday night an evening for
this purpose will he decided upon
One night a week will also be used
for non-commissioned officers' In
Btructlon.
Oregon figures .among the states
to be first in the reconstruction oi
the National Guard, which was start
ed Wednesday with, the organization
of seven regiments and one extra bat
talion of infantry, one squadron of
cavalry and eighteen companies of
coast artillery. Of this organization
Oregon will have one battalion of In
fantry and four companies of coast
artillery.
The fact that Oregon was among
the first states in which the organ I
zatlon of the National Guard units
was authorized by the war depart'
ment, was said by military authori
ties to be chiefly because the person
ale units had been practically enlist
ed In this state and ready for fed
eral recognition.
Company I of Ashland will be one
company of the Oregon infantry and
has already completed Its organlza
tlon.
FORD GARAGE WILL
CHANGE HANDS SOON
i The sale of the Ford Garage Is ex

proprietors of the Ashlnnd Vulcan

Ford establishment will he made
within a few days, and It Is expected
the deal will be completed next week-
PARIS, April 24. A clause has
been drafted for Insertion In the
peace treaty fixing the date for thy
transition to a state of peace 60 day
after the signing of the treaty. The
purpose of this provision Is to pre
vent confusion among the more than
20 belligerent nations, which might
fix different dates In their variou
ratifications. According to the pres
ent plan each nation will ratify the
treaty according to Its own laws but
all will unite In a common date which
will become a universal day of peace.
It Is being considered whether the
United States, as an associated power,
but not an ally, should sign a sepa
Tate treaty of peace with Germany
It would be the same treaty as that
signed : by the allies and would be
signed at the same time at part of
the same ceremony. .,.
. , The German government has off!
dally advised the allied and asso
ciated governments that the German
plenipotentiaries would not leave
Berlin before April 28, and that
they wottW reach Versailles May
at the earliest
Seven newspaper men will accom
4any the plenipotentiaries, the dis
patch added.
The German delegation will he
larger than was announced. General
Ndant, Marshal Foch's representa
live at Spa, has been officially In
formed that in addition to the peace
delegates there will be a party of 73
persons. Three minor German offl
clals who are now at Spa will leave
Immediately for Versailles to make
arrangements regarding telesrnphlng
and facilities for feeding the delega'
tion.
Xo final decision has been reached
hs io according freedom . or move
ments to the Germans, nor regard
ing possible access by allied news
paper men to the press representa
tlves of the Geman delegation.
It Is being: admitted that final de
cisjons on the treaty have not yet
been reached on a number of secon
dary questions. Among these que'
lions are the details relative to the
disposition of the German cables,
some aspects as to reparations, the
agreement of the "organization com
mission to sit after the conclusion of
peace to supervise the collection of
reparations and the dates when the
later Installments of the Indemnity
from Germany shall be paid.

awaits all subscribers visiting the
local bonks for the 'purpose of pur
chasing bonds. ' Nevertheless . Chair
man Winter of the local campaign
committee reports 1 that at noon to
day subscriptions to this war loan
reach $107,000. This without any
solicitation on the jiart of the cam-
Lpaign committee Speaks well for Ash
land's Interest In always doing her
duty and doing it without any fuss.
. It Ik the earnest desire of the cam
paign committee' to clean up Ash
land's quota within a week and have
none with the matter. In. order to
do this all those having any money
to invest, or are anticipating the
purchase of bonds are asked to re
spond quickly, so that the rest of
the quota of $175,000 can be raised
within the next few days at least.
This can. he easily accomplished If
Ashland people take hold and help
out as promptly In the coming week
s they have up to the present.
The veny liberal terms of this loan
make, it an attrractive Investment,
and is on that practically every one
can maka. The thing urged is speed
on the part of the subscribers to
finish up the quota and go over the
top as soon as possible.
