that the war in which certain 'among

or Indirectly, against Austria,
and which originated in the declara
tion of war against Serbia on July
28, 1914, by the former imperial and
royal Austro -Hungarian i. govern
ment,' and In the hostilities conduct
ed by Germany in alliance with Aus
tria-Hungary should be replaced by
a firm, just and durable peace, and
v; 'Whereas, the former Austro-Hun-garlan
monarchy has now ceased to
exist and has been replaced In Aus
tria by a republican government, and
Whereas, the principal allied and
associated powers have already rec
ognized that the Czecho - Slovak
state, in which are incorporated cer

- Whereas, the sald powers have
also recognized the union of certain
portions of the said monarchy with
the territory of the kingdom of
Serbia . as a. free, independent and
allied state, under the name of the
Serblan-Crotaln and Slovenian state,
nd ;
Whereas, ' It Is necessary, while
restoring peace, to regulate the situ
ation which has arisen from the dis
solution of the said monarchy and
the formation of said states, and to
establish the government of these
countries on a firm foundation of
jUBtice and equity.
For this purpose the high con
tracting parties, duly named, "
Who having communicated their
full powers, found in good and duo
form, have agreed as follows:

"From, the time coming into force
of the present' treaty the state of

TAttlS, June 2. Scores of thou
sands of American soldlura enxerly
have grasped the opportunity to at
tend the schools which , the army
now Is providing tor all the men of
the American expeditionary force,
under the direction of tho educa
tional, corps. ,
Tho post schools which ro pri
mary grades of this school system
are used whorever thoy can find a
root to shelter them. Floundorlng
through the mud of somo little ham
let where American soldiers nre sta
tioned, one Is likely to stumble upon
such a school In full operation. An
army chaplain recently chanced upon
such a school the pupils of which
were standing on benches because
tho floor was under six inches of
water and In a room dimly lighted
by candles stuck In bottles. The
sergoant-teacher was using. a piece
of tarred paper as a blackboard. It
was 11 o'clock at night and fourteen
men whose military duties prevonted
them from attending In regular
hours composed the extra class.
This little scene Is symbolic of
tho spirit with which the American
soldier have taken advantago of the
educational training offered them by
the army school system.
Men In some cases are working
eight, ten and twelve hours a day
at military duties and thon studying
at night in the post schools, tired In
body but doggedly determined. In
some cases they have voluntarily
worked at night so' as to be allowed
to attend a lecture or school session
In the daytime. Illiterate men who
have been taught to read and write
often ask permission to tako their
dog-eared primers home with them
when their divisions start for
America. Thousands of such men
have been started on the road to
education in the past few ruontf.
AFTER-EFFECTS OF

If vou have been throuch a sieue
of the flu, you. know, the severe
strain which this disease puts, on
the system. The body is left sore,
nervous system is all out of gear,
and it seems that you will never
get back your old-time strength.
Even though fortunate enough to
survive the flu, do not make the
mistake of thinking that you are
Nout of danger.-

MARK FOSTER IS
GIVEN 3 TO 20 YRS.
Hcuvy-oyed and with a haggard
countonanco Mark Fostar, tho 10-yoar-old
young man of this city who
was sentenced to from throo to
twonty years by Judgo Calkins in
circuit court Saturday afternoon,
following Ills conviction several
days provlous pn the ohiirxo of crim
inal assault, departed this morning
in tho custody of I'ollcomun Quits.
Adams fot the penitentiary at
Saloin. Mo was sentenced under tho
now ' statute governing this crlmo,
passed by the 1819 legislature, and
tho sentenco la practlvully uu in
determinate ono. ;'
Foster took Mils sentenco very
much to heart and broke down com
pletely nftor bolng taken buck to tho
county jail from the court room. At
the lliuo the crlmo was comiulttod
he was a taxi driver iu the employ
of a Medford company. Ho In
velglod the girl for a ride In his tux!
and stopped on a lonoly road outslda
of the oily.
Policeman Adams was deputized
as doputy sheriff to tako Foster to
the ponltentlary because tho sheriff
and his regular doputles wore all
busy with othor matters. 'Adams
was cautioned to keep close watch
on his prisoner because of the roport
reaching the sheriff that Foster had
told other-prisoners In tho county
Jail that he Intended to make a get
away enrouto to Saloin it any op
portunity offered.
But It must not be mlatakably as-
sumed that all tho soldier boys aro
coming back "with a hlghor educa
tion." The big Idea of the oduca
tlonal corps Is to give a man a start
and onable him to "find himself," so
to speak. Many a soldier has beon
a round peg In a square hole back
home. The army Is helping these
men to got started on tho right
groove. .
