THE GERMAN PEACE DELEG.V
The central empires have, not yet
taken any part in the peace confer
ence. They have not been asked. It
will be time enough when the allied
powers have completed their work
and agreed on everything among
themselves. Then -Germany, Bui
garia and such remnants as are left
of Austria-Hungary and Turkey will
be invited to Paris and told to sign
on the dotted line. They will object
to nearly everything on general
principles, and obtain what slight
concessions they may. and then sign
as requested.
Meanwhile it Is of some interest
to learn that the Oerman delegation
that will leave Berlin when the in
Titation comes is to be headed by
Philip Scneidemann. He is one of
the leaders of the dominant "Major
ity Socialist" party, formerly the so
"cial democrats. He can speak for
the comparatively conservative ele
ment now in charge, of German af
fairs, and Is probably as good a man
for the job as any non-German has
a right to ekpect. '
' He is infinitely preferable, at any
rate, to the man whom .Berlin orig
inally intended to send Bernstorff,
the lying trickster kicked out of
Washington by the United States
government Some hope for Ger
many may be found in the fact that
the Germans did finally allow them
selves to be persuaded that Bern
etorff would not do.
It would be tar better for Ger
many, however, if they had had the
decency or the shrewdness to ap
point Prince LUbnowsky, who was
German ambassador at London be
fore the war, who did all he could
to' prevent war, and who when he
discovered the criminal . Prussian
war plot revealed it to the world. He
could get favorable terms of the al
lies if anybody conld.
As for Scbeldemann, he lent him
self too. obediently to the kaiser's
purposes during the war to hare
much credit now as a spokesman for
democracy.
Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, com
menting on the pleasing progress
made by the peace conference, says:
''I wish the senate of the United
States could act with the same pre
cision and the same directness as
that polyglot assemblage over at
Versailles. . They speak many lang
uages and make much progress. The
senate speaks but one language, and
proceeds slowly."
A New York Judge rules that
wives may .pick . their husbands'
pockets. - That night his wife; took
all his change, and when he object
ed showed him the paper in which
his decision was published. Justice,
blind as usual, -
:" Mexico ,ia not enthusiastic about
selling Lower California or any of
her border land to the V,. S. A., nor
granting any leases to American I
i
capital. She prefers to operate the ! '
saloons herself.

saiidliiK Dr. Jauot Huld to Grants
Pass to dollvor a iubhhuso on social '
hygelne to women and girls. i
Dining the war millions of Uioj
young men ot the country have boon .
luembors ot the army ot the United
States. These young men have coin
posed the cleanest army, in the world
and yot 3 per cent ot the mun among
the first million draftoes wore veior-;
erally diseased at the time of their j
Induction into military service. ' . j
The army ha beon . made : clean .
and loft clean, through tho enduca-'
tlon ot its personnel upon the dan-
gurs of licentiousness and upon the I
normal healthy sex life of man.
la -educating this large body of f
our young men, however, the kov-'
erument has felt that It was only
halt meeting the problem ot the so
cial evil. In order to get the great
est result ot such education In clean
Uvea and happy homes the women
must b educated equally with the
men. '
With thla In mind the government
organized a corps of the best of Am
erica's women physicians. These
women were carefully selected and
then speclaly trained, and they come
before the country as the most cap
able group for their work that could
possibly be assembled. '
Dr. Reld, who will be In Grants
Pass next week and will speak to the
women at the courthouse Tuesday
evening, February 11, at 8 o'clock
and Wednesday afternoon, February
12, at 8 o'clock, la a physician with
23 years practice In medicine She
has a grasp ot her subject and an
ability ot presentation that few wom
en possess. . .
It is hoped that every woman and
particularly every mother In Grants
Pass will avail herself of this oppor
tunity to. hear Dr. Reld next Tuesday
or Wednesday and get the truth of
the social problem from a most com
petent authority.
