I feel that the Salvation Army needs no commenda tion ifrom me. The love and rratl. tude it has ellolted from the troops Is a sufficient evidence or the work It has done, and I reel that I should not so much commend it as congrat ulate It.

The American delegation apparently is firm in its decision to not authorise publication of the Gorman peace treaty until It Is signed and not even to communi cate the official text In Its present farm to the United State senate. London, June 7. Every effort is being made to complete the reply to Germany by next Monday. There seems to be a growing sentiment that changes must be made In the treaty, but In what particulars Is not indicated. French officials are said to expect the Germans to refuse to sign the terms, and as delay would favor tha Germsns there is necessity for hsBte In bringing exchanges to a close. The deadlock on the Italian Ad riatic claims Is causing some con cern. Admiral Kokhak's forces admit tedly have been checked by the bol shevlkl and there will probably be quite a serious delay in carrying the campaign to a successful conclusion.

It Is understood that tbe allied and asscoiated Kor eminent have decided to adopt a middle course as between the fixing of a definite sum to be exacted from Germany, a proceeding strenuously objected to by the French as likely to lead to a political upheaval due to the disappointment of the French public, and tbe provisions of the draft of the treaty handed the Ger mans, which the latter have declared means economic- slavery. The reparations to be demanded ror certain forms or allied claims will be mode known to tbe Germans, but not all or them, as the only sum for the total losses which the French have declared themselves willing to agree to amount to a figure tbe ex perts declare Germsny would be un able to pay. It is probable that the Germans will be allowed some working cap ita and tonnage for overseas trade with which to earn tbe sums requir ed of thorn. The clauses of the treaty concern ing responsibilities, punishment of the former kaiser and the dlsnosi. tlon of Germany's oversea colonies likely will stand as et forth In the original draft of the treaty, while a plebiscite in upper Silesia with re gard to the future sovereignty of the district Is believed to have been def initely decided upon. -s Washington, June 7.

The late Major B. W. Mannock was tha leaUns "ace" of the British aviation corps but it was not until months after the armistice that the fact was known and he never will be official ly credited by the air ministry with being England's premier flyer. It was the policy of the ministry during tbe war not to proclaim Individual exploits and It bos not been changed since fighting ceased. The record of MannocVs It months service Is most nnusual. He started by outwitting examining phy sicians in concealing the ract that be was blind in one eye. 'At 29 yean of age he was older than most of the pilots In training but be seemed to lark nothing required of a success ful air fighter and soon qualified and went to France. Immediately he adopted tactics peculiar to himself and it finally was a deviation from those tactics that brought him down. He always flew very high and enticed his adversary Into a high fight but. In bringing down bis 73 German, he chased his falling foe too near the ground and a bullet from an anti-aircraft gun ended his career. MERCHANTS DEFEATED BY PROFESSIONALS The weather was not quite hot enough last evening to make the Merchants-iMechanica ball game as snappy as It mlgh have been, but there were a number of interesting features which kept the crowd bap py. The chief source of Joy appar ently was the downfall of the here tofore undefeated Merchants, by a score of 9-4. 4 Sergeant Ernest Fry was the "dark horse" whom Captain Pernoll trotted out. Ernie may not yet be In form, but even so he held the hard hitting "Merchants to one hit in the two In nings in which he pitched. Fireman Joe Galrln finished the game for the Mechanics, and he likewise allowed only one hit The Mechanics hit Coburn fre qaently and hard. Eddings got a three-bagger, on which (he scored when the Infield fumbled the throw In. Pernoll made a two base hit. Coburn struck, out two; Ftye, three; Calvin, three. Both team had to use substitutes. Amos Williams, for the Merchants made a fine catch of Blerlna' bard hit fly. iBryan, substitute fielder for tbe Mechanics bit the ball three times, one safely, a sacrifice and an inHeld out.

At that time Villa wa known as a reformed bandit who bad followed aMdero loy ally and who had fought for inde pendence and liberty (for his Deoola beside tbe diminutive revolutionary leader. It was not until later that he again won the title of "bandit" by his raid on Columbus, N. M., and his subsequent acts. "I am tired sick and tired ot war and revolutions and bloodshed." Villa said in Spanish as he ate the Mexican dishes served in the little cafe. "I want no more of t and I have come to (he United States to get away from it all and to get a Job on the Southern Pacific railroad and hare a home here in the land of the free.
