World Is Calling for Men and
' Women of Right Calibre,
Graduates Are Told
An evea one hundred boys and
girls of Salem last - night obtained
passports for ' their eventful 'voyace
noon life's sea. . It was rrmiiiatinn
Bight, ".. that epochal period in the
lifea of the boys and, girls who step
from the cla3groom to the thresh
'hold of th workaday world.
It was tut another chapter, in the
memjorable! history . of Satem. high;
a clarion-noted token that the local
school has npheld her best tradi
tions In equipping her charges for
the work which lies before them.
Several I hundred parents and
friends of the young men and women
crowded the armory to capacity to
witness the thirteenth annual com
mencement exercises. The auditor
ium was profuse with flowers and
the festal colors, of class and school.

' .The address to the class .was de-

tuuiruv3 oak aiivu.iiKkj as
charged the youthful graduates to
strive ever onward and upward to
the goal of ultimate success.
"The world today has not nearly
enough workers to do its bidding,"
he told them. "EJvery conceivable
avenue of Industry- and etotern rise
is calling for tnea and women. But
ine can is ror those who are worthy
who are willing to pay the price
or a splendid success. :
"It is a mistake to say the trades
and-profetstons are overcrowded, for
it is as true today as in any era of
the world's history, that those who
are worthy are making an eminent
success of their xhosen. life work. In
tion for the skilled laborer, employ
ers are finding much difficulty fj
: securing ine services or men wno
, are fully competent to do the work
assigned to them without constant
watching nd direction. "
"This .lemnnd must be snpnlied,
If at all, by the young men and wo-,
men of our high schools and col

work. But there is a price to pa v.
The young man who spends his gold

by his eompeisation, need not look
for promotion. ;
"It ha been said that the young

was discussed at a conference of

Senator Hitchcock said no filbus

there would be no serious opposition

He predicted that every Democrat

Council of Four Devotes Day
to Revision of Text;
Old Pact Obsolete
'PARIS, June 14. The drafting
conunitteo has completed the work
of framing I he letter covering th.r
replyi' to the uerman counter pro
posals. It recalls that the principles
upon Vhich the treaty is bastd are
such as to .preclude tho allies from
making fundamental concessions.
PARIS. June 13. The peace
treaty with Germany will be entirely
rewritten and re-printed for the in
corporation textually of the explan
ations and clarifications contained
in the allied reply to the German
proposals.
While unchanged in principle vir
tually a new document will be pre
sented to the Germans.
It is understood 'that the new
treaty will be made public on the
dav of Its delivery or the day after.
The council of four, it develops,
decided that simply to attach the re
ply to the original document was Im
practicable, as important clauses
would be left obscure and Imperfect.
Hence the decision to rewrite the do
cument.
It was commented In peace con
ference circles today that this action
renders obsolete the text published
in the United States.
The council of tour today devoted
both of its sessions to the revision
of the text of the treaty.
A new text is required to cover
the changes in . the Polish frontier
and the plebescite in Silesia. The
intimation was made today that a re
vised draft of the Danish frontiers
is expected, indicating that the con
ference leaders had decided to take
into consideration the objection, of
both Germany and Denmark to a
plebescite in the southernmost por
tion of Schleswig. .' .
The council of four devoted both
Its sessions Friday to revision of the
text of the peace freaty, prepara
tory to its presentation to the Ger
man peace delegates. Premier Or
lando of Italy was not "present, hav
ing left for Rome Thursday ntgnt

the Italian parliament the work of
the peace conference, and to reach

meeting.
The re-writing of tip treaty of
peace, as announced In Paris d's
patches was rendered necessary by
the discovery of errors and Incon
sistencies in the draft as at first
presented to the Germans.
Many of the changes to !e made
are of a highly Important nature,
but most or them are mf a minor
character. .
The latter !s particular! v true of
the reparations clauses which will be
virtually unchanged in th-s n-w
dnft. But the financial provisions
will be amended so that the repara
tions commission will he given d's
cretion to allow Germany to gather
a working capital for the resumption
of her industries in order that she
