80,000 words divided into fifteen main
sections, and represents the combined
product of over a thousand experts
working continually through a series
of commissions for the three and a
half months since January 18. The
treaty is printed in parallel pages of
Euglslr and French which are recog-
nized as having equal validity. It does

WHERE WOMEN WON,
How the Weaker Sex Succeeded in
War Tasks Thrust Upon Them.
"I expect my work will soon be
over," said a girl conductor on Armis-
tice day; but there are still plenty of
conductresses about. It will take
more than an armistice to send all our
girl -workers horse again, says an Eng-
lish newspaper.
Though• they have preved their
worth in many fields, it is a mistake
to assume that girls have been suc-
cessful in every case. Among the
branches of labor which the authori-
ties have come to consider unsuitable
trades for woolen are saw -milling,
flour and. corn -milling, sugar -refining,
malting, fell -mongering, heavy chemi-
cals; heavy wire rope, paper, gas, oil
and seed crushing, and some half-
dozen other industries.
But the successes have outnumber-
ed the failures. Women have proved
themselves particularly apt, in addi-
tion to the more obvious examples, in
many of the processes required in
making scientific instruments, in la-
boratory research, cement manufac-
tb extradite the former Emperor and
Germany being responsible for deliver-
ing the latter. The League of Nations
is accepted by the Allied and Associ-
ated Powers as operative and by (ler-
many in principle, but without mem-
bership. Similarly an international
labor body is brought into being with
a permanent office and annual conven-
tion.
A great number of international
bodies of different kinds and for dif-
ferent purposes are created, some un-
der the League of Nations and sono
to execute the Peace Treaty. Among
the former is the commission to gov-
ern the Saar Basin till a plebiscite is
held fifteen years hence, the high com-
mission to Danzig, which is created
into a free city under the League, and
various commissions for plebiscites in
Malmondy,, Schleswig, and East Prus-
sia. Among those to carry out the
Peace Treaty are the repatriations,
military. naval, air, financial, and
economic commissions; the Internal
tional High Court and military tribun-
als
ribunals to fix responsibilities, and a series
of bodies for the control of interna-
tional rivers, Certain problems are
left for solution• between the Allied
and Associated Powers, notably de -
Utile of the disposition of the German
fleet and cables, the former German
colonies, and the values paid in sepa-
ration, Certain other problems such
as the laws of the air and the opium,.
arms, and liquor traffic are either
agreed to In detail or set for early in-
ternational action.
Germany accepts full responsibility
for all damages caused to Allied and
Associated Governments and nation-
als, agrees specifically to reimburse
all civilian damages, beginning with
an initial payment of 20,000,000,000
marks, subsequent payments to be se-
cured by bonds to be issued at the
discretion of the Reparation Commis-
sion. Germany is to pay shipping
damage on a ton -for -ton basis by ces-
sion of a large part of her merchant,
eoaeting and river fleets, and the new
conetru{•tion, and to devote her econa-
mic resources to the rebuilding of the
devastated regions.
Connelly cedes to France Alsace-
Lorraine, 5,600 square miles, and to
Belgium two small districts between
Luxemburg and Holland, .totalling 989
square miles. She also cedes ' to Po-
land the south-eastern tip of Silesia
: beyond and including Oppein, most of
Posen, and West Prussia, 27,686 square
mile:m, East Prussia being isolated
from the main body by a part of Po-
land. She loses sovereignty over the
north-eastermost tip of East Prussia,
40 square miles north of the River
Memel, and the internationalized
I areas about Danzig, 729 square miles,
i}and the basin of the Saar, 738 square
miles, between the western border of
the Rhenish Palatinate of Bavaria,
and the south-east corner of Luxetn-
• burg. The Danzig area consists of

tula Rivers made by the adddition of a

tura, managing and supervising. A
recent official report states that in
light, semi -skilled work the value of
women is frequently equal to that of
men; and where the operations call
for fineness of touch, or deftness of
handling, as distinct from the skill due
to long training and experience, wo-

Foolishness.
A farmer went into a hardware
store, where a clerk wanted to sell
hint a bicycle, "A bicycle won't eat
its head off, and you can ride round
your farm on it. I can let you have
one for thirty-five dollars."
"I'd rather put the money into a
cow," said the farmer.
"You'd look mighty foolish riding
round. on a .cow." said the hardware
man.
"Well, no more foolish than I would
milking a bicycle; I reckon."
Many people make themselves mis-
erable trying to run their homes ac-
cording to the ,income of somemore
fortunate neighbor.

THE RIGHT WAY
The secret of SUCCESS in shopping lies in being able to LOOK at the garment before you pay for it.
You not only LOOK at it. You try it on. You have the chance to try on several. If one does not suit, another
WILL. If alterations are needed, the fitting can be done on the spot, There MAY be other ways to shop. But
this is the only RIGHT way. This is the "trade -at-home" way. And it brings not only SUCCESS to you, but
adds prosperity to your town as well. Every purchase you make in this way creates a permanent value in your
community, apart from the value and pleasure YOU get out of it. And you become a community builder. Then
why shop any other way? Keep this picture in mind and you will not fail in your duty to yourself and your
town.

INDIAN FaSrTl11m
North-WesternFrontler Violated
by Troops of New Ami
r. :
A despatch from London says: -
Afghan
ays:-Af han tribesmen have 'crossed the
Afghan border with the assistance
of Afghan regular troops, and have
oeihipied certain positions on the In-
dian aide of the border, according to
a despatch from the Indian Foreign
Office. Military precautions have
been taken by the British, who have
addressed a vigorous note to the
Amir.
It has been reported for some time
that the new Amir had adopted an
unfriendly attitude toward the Brit-
ish, and contemplated a violation of
the northwest frontier and Khyber
Pass; the principal northern pass
into that country from India.
No large number of tribesmen are
concerned, but they have occupied
some heights of importance emu-
manc:ing two roads leading eerose
the frontier.
MILK FOR E GUARDS.
The Largest Mascot& Possessed b1.
Any British Regiment.
During their recent march through
London the 2nd Scots Guards were ac-
companied by two cows, and many
wondered why they were in the pro-
eeeelon,
They were originally acquired by
the regiment in 1915, when they were
in Belgium, and remained, with the
battalion throughout the whole war.
They were the means of supplying
fresh milk to the officers and ser-
geants, and a special man was told oft
to act as eowkeeper. It is related that
one day their keeper, being behind
the battalion, and a.onmw.hat merry,
disposed of the animals to ;a. farmer in
exchange for a trilling sum.
When their loss was discovereu
there was a great uproar, and the
keeper was punished by being sent
back some twenty miles to repurchase
the rows, and bring them back to the
battalion again.
It was found that the cows became
very lame when they were an the
march, and one member of the hat -
talion -ea blacksmith -•--determined to
shoe there. He succeeded in doing
rills; but it was a lengthy operation,
ccupying nearly ten hours.
When he had finished the animals)
were well shod, with iron plates cover-
ing the whole foot.
These cows were perhaps the larg-
est mascots po.;sessed by any British
regiment.

A despatch from Archangel says:--
Brtish gunboats were active againa

strong patrol which broke through
an enemy outpost north of Tulgat
and destroyed dugouts and an am•
munition dump,
A Bolshevik attempt against the
Brztieh, American and Russian posi-
tions at Malo Bereznik was repulsed,.
ANOTHER LOAN WILL BE
FLOATED IN ALTiMI
A despatch from Ottawa 'says: -
A domestic loan similar to the Vic-
tory Loan of a year ago, but not sc
large, will be floated by the Govern-
ment, probably in September, Sir
Thomas White anndt need in the
House on Thursday. The loan is in
connection with the 3350,000,000 war
appropriation to be voted by Parlia-
ment this session, Between 3600,-

BRI'TAIN'S .DREAD
NOW TOTAL 507,169
A despatch from Rome •says: -It is
announced officially that as a result
of a comparison of figures of return-
ed prisoners with those hitherto eel-
cuaated as missing some thirty-four
thousand must be added to the num-
ber of dead. The total number of
dead, including the navy, is now giv,
en at five hundred anti seven thous-
and one hundred and sixty-nine.

promised their support to the Cana.
