She also recognizes the total independence of German -Aus- tria, Czecho•Slovalcia, and Poland; Her army is reduced to one Inundred thousand men, including officers, con. seription within her territories is abolished; all forts fifty kilometres east of the Rhine razed; and all im. portatlans, exportations and nearly all production of tear material$ stopped. - i1,111ed occupation of pavts of Germany will continuo till reparation is macre, but will be reduced at the end of each of three-year periods if Germany is fulfilling her obligations. Any viola- tion by Germany of the conditions as to the zone fifty kilometres east of the Rhino will be regarded as an act of war. The German navy is reduced to six battleships, six light cruisers, and 12 'torpedo boats, without submarines, and a' personal 01 not over fifteen thousand. All other emssels must be surrendered or. destroyed. Germany is forbidden to build forts controlling ' the Baltic, must demolish Heligoland, open the Kiel Canal to all nations, and surrender her fourteen submarine ctlbles. She may have no military or naval air forces except 100 unarmed sea- planes until October 1, to detect mines and manufacture aviation material foj• a six-month period. She agrees to return to the 1914 most favored nation tariffs, • without discrimination' of any Boort; to allow Allied and Associated Nationals free- dom of transit through her territories, and to -'accept highly detailed provi- sions as to,ore-war debts, unfair eons - .petition, internationalization of roads -afide steers,- - and other economic mad financial elauaes. • She also agrees to the trial of the ex -Kaiser ,by an international high court for a supreme offence against international morality and of other nationals for violation of tjie laws and customs of -war, holland to o1n0 asked to extradite t110 former 11)11p0101 end GertnallY being r'esponslble for deliver. lug the latter., The Loagee of Nations is aoeopted by the Allied and Assooi, aced Powers as operative and by Ger. meny in pl'ieelple, but without mem borslllp, Similarly an international unbar body is brought into being with a permanent office and annual conven- tion, A great un1)11)01' of international bgdles of different hinds and for cllf, forest imr•pes138 are created, 501110 un- der tho League us of adons and some to execute the Peen Treaty, Among the former is; the eon%)nission to goy, ern the Saar Basin 01e plebiscite is bolts fltteen Years hence, the high coin• 1111981011 to Danzig W111Oh is created into a free city under the League, and various cot o s tt mi ia1 ss rs for plebiscites in Malmondy, Schleswig, incl I9aet Prost is s Among mong ,those to carry out the Peace 1 Treaty 0007 aro the -repatriations, military,naval, air,. financial, and on t ae1 p nio commissions; the Interne. , tional Nighh Courteancl Military tribute, asst to fig responsibilities, and n series o bodies lea for the control of interna- tional rivers, Certain problems are left' for solution between the Allied and Associated Powers, notably 'de- tails of the disposition of the German fleet and 'cables, the former .German colonies, and the values paid In eepa- iation. 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 adtion. 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, coasting and river fleets, and the new construction, anis to devote her econo- mic resources to the rebuilding of the devastated regions. Germany cedes cedes to"France Alsace- Lorraino,•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 Oppeln, most of Posen, and West Prussia, 27,086 square miles, East Prussia being isolated from the plain body by a part of Po- land. She loses 'sovereignty over the north-easterniost tip of East Prussia, 40 square miles north of the River Memel, and the internationalized areas about Danzig, 729 square miles, and the basin of the Saar, 733 square miles, between the western border of the Rhenish Palatinate of Bavaria, and the south-east corner of Luxem- burg, The Danzig area consists of the "V" between the Nogat and Vis- tula Rivers made by the adddition of a similar "V" on the .west including the 'city or Danzig, The south-eastern third of Plast'Prussia and the area be- tween East Prussia and the Vistula north of latitude 53 degrees 8 minutes, is to- have its nationality determined by popular yote, 5,785 square miles, as is to be the case in parts of Schles- wig, 2,787 square miles. 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- tfce day; but there are still plenty of : conductresses about, It :will take more than an armistice to send all our girl -workers house again, says an Eng - fish newspaper. Though they,,, have proved their worth in many fields, it is a nliatake to assume that girls have been suc- cessful in every case, . Among the branches of laiior which the authors- ties have come to consider unsuitable trades foe women are saw -milling, eine and colt -milling, sugar -refining, malting, fell -mongering, heavy chemi- cals, heavy wire rope, paper, gas, oil and seed crushing, and some half - (keen other industries. But the successes have outnumber- ed'the failures. Women have proved themselves partioularly 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- ture, managing and supervising, A recent official report states that in Ifght, semi -skilled work the value of women is frequently equal to that of melt; end where the operations call for fineness ot touch,. or, dettness et handling, ae distinct from tib sldlltlno to long training and experience, wo-, men are preferred to 111011, Giving Her a Tip. "Bridget, I don't want you to have so much company. Why, you have • more callers in a day than I have in a week." "Well, mum, perhaps if you'd try to be a little more agreeable, you'll have as many.friends as I have," MILK FOR THE GUARDS, e The Largest Mascots Possessed by Any British Regiment. During their recent march through London the 2nd Scots Guards were ac- co1i panied by two cows, and many wondered why they were in the pro- cession. They were originally acquired by the regiment in 1915, when they were fn Belgium, and remained with the th battalion tluoaghout e whole war. They' were the means of supplying fresh milk to the officers and ser- geants, and a special 1nan.was told off to act as cowkeeper, It Is related that one day their keeper, being behind the battalion, and somewhat merry, disposed of the animals to a farmer in exchange for a trifling aura, When their loss was discovered there was a great uproar, and the keeper was punished by being sent back sense twenty miles to re -purchase the cows, and bring them back to the battalion again. It ems found that the cows became very lame when they were on the .n101011, and one member of the hat - talion --a blacksmith—determined to shoe them. He succeeded in doing this; but it was a lengthy operation, occupying nearly ten hours, Wizen he had finished the animals were well shod, with iron plates cover- ing the whole foot. These cows were perhaps the larg- est mascots possessed by any British regiment, • What Everybody Thinks. "Better consider my course in of- ficiency,trainIng.

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 he other ways to shop. But this is the only RIGHT way, This is the "trade -at-home" way, Aud 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. Anel you become it community builder. Thou why shop any other way? Keep this picture in mind and you will not fail in your duty to yourself and your town. Markets of the World Breadstutls.
