Washington Appearance of plant diseases in the grain crops of Indiana, Nlinois, Virginia, West Virginia and Georgia has resulted in the issuance of a call for a meeting at the Depart ment of Agriculture to consider the advisability of prohibiting or restrict: ing the movement of wheat, oats and other small grain from those states. Alluding to the skepticism with which the plan for a league of nations first was received, the President said that as the peace negotiations proceed. ed it became apparent to all the dele- gates that such a concert was "a prac- tical necessity,” demanded by “all the peoples of the world.” For the United States to reject it, he asserted, would “break the heart of the world.” Point. ing out that many minor compromises were necessary to secure the support of all the interested nations, he con- tinued: “The treaty, as a result, is not ex- actly what we would have written, It is probably not what any one of the national delegations would have writ ten. But results were worked out which on the whole bear test. I think that it will be found that the com promises which were accepted as in- evitable nowhere cut to the heart of any principle.” President Given Ovation.

These boys were constantly remind. ing me of home. They did not walk the streets like anybody else. 1 do not mean that they walked the streets selfassertively. They did not. They walked the streets as if they knew that they belonged wherever free men lived, that they were welcome in the great republic of Frande and were comrades with the other armies that had helped to win the great battle and acter to know the great sacrifice. Because it ie a wonderful thing for this nation, hitherto isolated from the large af. fairs of the world, to win not only the universal confidence of the poo ple of the world, but their universal affection, and that, and nothing less than that, is what has happened. Whenever it was suggested that troops should be sent, and it was de- #ired that troops of occupation should excite no prejudice, no uneasiness on the part of those to whom they were sent, the men who represented the other nations came to me and asked me to send American soldiers. They not only implied but they said that the presence of American soldiers would be known not to mean anything except friendly protection and assist ance.
