MAY
PEACE 60 DAYS AFTER
SIGNING OF TREATY.
Each Nation to Ratify According to
Its Our Laws.—U. 8. May Sign
Separate Treaty.
A clause has been drafted for inser-
tion in the peace treaty fixing the date
for the transition to a state of peace six-
ty days after the signing of the treaty.
If the treaty is signed about May 1s,
peace thus will become effective
throughuut the world on July 135.
The purpose of this provision is to
prevent confusion among the more than
twenty belligerent nations which might
fix different dates in their various reaf-
firmation,
According to the present plain,
nation will ratify the treaty according to
its own laws, but all will unite in a com-
mon date which will become a universal
each
day of peace.
This follows the precedent established
at the conclusion of previous wars, but
it is increasingly necessary in the pres-
ent case owing to the large number of
nations signing
It is being the
United States as an associated power,
but not an ally, should sign a separate
treaty of peace with Germany, It would
be the same treaty as that signed by the
allies and would be signed at the sam
time as part of the same ceremony, but
the effect of the separate treaty would
be to preserve the position of the United
States as an
lied power, and would be a direct
gagement between the United Sta
and Germany instead of between the
United States and a large number of
other allied powers.
The fifth point provides for free,
and absolutely impartial adjustment

concerning the freedom of the seas, has
not figured during the discussion of the
treaty and the attitude to be finally
adopted has not been announced,
One of the men drafting the treaty
has expressed the belief that it would

dous task. This leads to some discus-
sion of presenting parts of the treaty
already completed, such as the League
of Nations and the ions pro-
visions, but it is understood that Presi-
dent Wilson and Premier Lloyd George
insist that no parts be presented by
themselves and that the entire document
be presented. This may lead to some
revision in plans for the delivery of the
treaty with Germans, and there may be
a brief period of inaction until the docu-

Union County Has Another Serious
Auto Accident.
Union county appears either to have a
great number of careless auto drivers or
entirely too many death traps for motor-
ists. A number of fatal auto accidents
have occurred within its borders quite re-
cently, the latest to take place being last
Wednesday evening at the Reading rail-
road crossing at Allenwood, when a
Maxwell auto driven by Samuel Daugh-
erty, who was returning to his home in
Allenwood after his day's work, was
struck by a freight train going east,
The occupants of the car, Miss Helen
Moorehart, who is employed at the De-
wart Creamery and Miss Grace Else,
who is employed at the Watsontown silk
mill, with Mr. Dangherty, were serious-
ly injured. Mr, Daunghetty suffered
with a fracture of the lower jaw and
Miss Moorehart, who suffered with a
compound fracture of the leg below the
knee, were rushed to the Williamsport
hospital on the ten o'clock train, after
they had been given temporary relief by
local physicians,
Miss Else suffered a fracture of the
leg above the knee, but is at her home
in Allenwood, All three received serious
cuts and bruises about the body.
The freight struck the right rear
wheel of the car in which they were rid-
ing and turned it completely around,
throwing the machine over a ten-foot
embankment. The car was completely
wiecked, ._ __

Enclosed, please find
account subscription to the Reporter,
for my mother, Mrs. §, E. Keller. She
is yet an ardent lover of your paper—or
her paper, as she calls it—and reads with
great interest the news of her girlhood
acquaintances from time to time. Most
every issue recounts the death of one or
more whom she knew when a young
woman and she often remarks, * still 1
am spared". She will be eighty-five
years her next birthday, in September,
and at present is enjoying extra good
health for one of her years, Has looked
forward to spring coming with its added
beauty, wherein she sees and speaks of
God's mercy toward every living thing,
notwithstanding the year just past has
been a bard one to ever forget. Never
can we remember of a year before that
brought so much heartache, pain and
sadoess to each of us as individuals,
yet we as a family bave much to be
thankful for, How we thank God daily
for the preservation of our mother's life
to us all these years, and to the ripe old
age she has attained, She anxiously
awaits every week some news in her
paper of her grandson, Lieut. Ned Kel«

one at home and one abroad with Centre

interest in baseball mt the Lewisburg

Several measures which would change

Daix, of Philadelpbia, would have the
