day morning at the railway station at
Groenendael, she miles south of Brus
sels, where Canadian troops were in
spected by King Albert eight days ago.
Many Killed and Wounded
The depot has been under guard of
150 Belgian soldiers and 600 German
prisoners have been at work near it.
It is believed there are many killed and
wounded, but the number of victims
will not be known for several days.
Many houses in the neighborhood have
completely collapsed and windows and
roofs for two miles around the scene of
the explosion have been shattered. This
is especially the case at Hoeylaert and
neighboring towns, where there are
thousands of hothouses." The movement
of trains over the Namur-Luxembourg
line has been interrupted.
Germans Hoc
It is reported that while workmen
were unloading a wagon filled with
shells a detonator exploded in the hands
of a German prisoner, setting fire to
the ammunition boxes. After the ex
plosion the German prisoners broke the
barbed wire cordon surrounding the
camp and fled in all directions through
the woods. Only 150 have been arrest
ed since. The Belgian guards at the
depot succeeded in escaping. The ex
plosions are clearly heard in Brussels
and may continue for days.

HISTORY OF TREATY
HANDED TO GERMANS
Peace Conference Convened Officially on January 18, Less
Than Four Months Ago; Hun Delegates Have Full
Power to Accept or Reject Document
The treaty handed to the Ger
mans to-day at Versailles is the re
sult of the work of the representa
tives of the Allied and associated
powers arrayed against Germany
who convened oftcially on January
18, less than four months ago. The
time between the armistice Novem
ber 11 and January 18 was occupied
in preparing claims and reports, in
the selection of delegates and in their
travel to Paris.
Wilson at Brest Dec. 13
President Wilson and the Ameri
can delegates sailed from New York
on December 4, 1918, and when the
President set foot at Brest on De
cember 13, he was the first Ameri
can President to visit Europe while
in office. The intervening month be
fore the opening of the conference
was spent by the President in be
coming acquainted with allied states
men and in visiting England, Italy
and parts of France.
Buss Proposal Fails
The first act of the Peace Confer
ence at its meeting on January 18
was to elect George Clemcnceau,
premier of France, as chairman. On
January 21 the conference adopted
the proposal that all Rusian factions
meet on the Princes Islands to dis
cuss'the Rusian situation. Nothing
ever came of the proposal. Three
days later the conference ordered
fighting over disputed territory to
cease.
The plan for a League of Nations
was concurred in by the conference
on January 24 and a committee was
appointed to draw up a covenant.
Discussion in the supreme council
or council of men which included
two representatives from Great Brit
ain, France, Italy, Japan and the
United States then turned to the
form of the future government of
territory freed from enemy rule and
on January 30 the conference ac
cepted the plan of mandatories for
colonies and backward nations. On
February 14 the League of Nations
commission reported the covenant
it had prepared.
President Wilson left Brest on
February 15 on his return to the
United States. He arrived at Boston
on February 24, and after explain
ing the league covenant and making
several speeches, started on his re
turn to France on March 5 and
reached Brest on March 13. Mean
while the work of the council of ten
had continued except for the inter
ruption incident to the attempt to
assassinate Premier Clemenceau on
February 19.
The various commissions of the
conference continued their labors
uninterruptedly. On March 26 in
order to speed up the work, the
council of ten was broken up in two
bodies, a council of four and a coun
cil of foreign ministers. The council
of four was composed of Premiers
Orlando. Clemenceau, Lloyd George
and President Wilson.
Furore In Pence Circles
A furore in conference circles was
created on April 7, when President
Wilson summoned the transport
George Washington to come to Brest
at once and it was reported the
President intended to return home.
A stalemate on reparations and
frontier uqestions, it was reported
at the time, was believed to have
prompted his action.
On April 11 at a plenary session
the conference adopted the report of
the international labor legislation
committee and on April 14 the re
paration demands to be made on
Germany were announced. On April
16 the Germans were invited to send
delegates to receive the treaty.
With the German treaty near com
pletion the question of Italy's claims
in the Adriatic came to the front.
On April 23 President Wilson issued
a statement that Fiume could not
belong to Italy. The Italian delega
tion announced its intention of leav
ing Paris and on April 24 Premier
Orlando started for Rome.
Scarcely had he departed than the
vanguar of the German delegation
reached Versailles on April 25 to
be followed on April 30 by the prin
! cipal delegates. Previously the Ger
mans had expressed the intention
of sending "messengers" to receive
the treaty, but finally were compell
ed to send delegates with full pow
| ers.
; In tne absence of the Italian dele
gates, the conference on April 28
adopted the revised covenant of the
League of Nations. Geneva was se
lected as the seat of the league and
Sir Eric Drummond, of Great Brit
ain was made first secretary general.
On April 30 the council of three
reached an agreement on the ques
tion of Shantung which gave the ter
ritory to the Japanese who are to
turn it over later to the Chinese.
The first meeting with the Ger
mans took place on May 1, when
credentials were exchanged at Ver
sailles.
On Monday it was announced that
Premier Orlando and the other Ital
ian delegates were returning to
Paris in time for the handing of the
peace treaty to the Germans.

to enter the city. Harrisburg is des
tined to become a great autpmobile
center. All the through highways of
the State converge here, but we will
never get the travel to which we are
entitled as long as the bridge com
panies are permitted to earn divi
dends at the expense of the traveling
public."
The motion to appoint a committee
went through without a dissenting
vote.
Athletic Exhibition
The Rotarians, who were the guests
of J. W. Roshon, listened to a very
entertaining address on art of por
traiture and inspected a number of
especially .made photographs of Rota
rians, good and otherwise, as sam
ples of how and how not to look
when facing the camera. Following
the address "Prof." Miller, of the Y.
M. C. A. Athletic Department, intro
duced a class of eight Rotarians,
consisting of Dr. Frank B. Kann, E.
Fred. Rowe, James P. McCullough,
Robert B. Reeves, Dr. J. B. Lawrence
and Captain Geroge F. Lamb. The
"Y" athletic department won a lot
of converts as a result of the exhi
bition and the businessmen's class is
going to be much larger next year.
Following t..is there was staged a
three-round boxing bout between
"Prof." Miller and "Cap" Lumb, with
Fred. Rowe as second for Miller,
"Doc" Lawrence acting for Lumb and
"Jim" McCullough as referee. It was
a lively tilt from start to finish, and
ended in a draw after McCullough
had suffered a half-dozen jabs in the
neck and ear trying to break up the I
clenches.
Philadelphia Charter
Bills Passed by Senate
The Philadelphia charter bills,
sponsored by Senator Woodward, of
Philadelphia, and backed by United
States Senator Boies Penrose, pass
ed the Senate finally this morning
by a 38-2 vote. The two negative
votes were cast by Senators Gary
and Patton, both Vare men from
Philadelphia.
Debate on the measure was mark
ed by an exchange of bitter per
sonalities between Senator Wood
ward and Senator Vare, with Sena
tors Patton and Daix joining the
struggle later.
Senator Woodward started the ball
rolling in a fifteen-minute speech
urging the passage of the bill. Sena
tor Vare then rose in his place and
declared that he had not intended
to say anything on the floor of the
Senate, as it had been agreed to let
the fight take place in a House com
mittee. He felt called upon, how
ever, to resent the remarks of Sena
tor Woodward, and then proceeded
to attack Senator Woodward, and
John C. Winston, of Philadelphia,
head of the charter revisionists, who
was present in the Senate chamber.
Claiming that Philadelphia was
financially better off than any city
in the country, and perhaps in the
world. Senator Patton advised the
senators to leave their hands off
Philadelphia, declaring that it would
be a crime to upset the financial sys
tem of a city with the best credit in
the nation.
Senator Daix, Philadelphia, rose
in his place to resent the remarks of
Senator Vare concerning Senator
Woodward. The vote was then taken,
resulting in a 38-2 tally for the
"yeas." Senator Vare did not vote.

How to Keep Age-Lines
and Wrinkles Away
Don't forget that the woman who
smiles will have a skin more free from
wrinkles thap the woman who
frowns. When wrinkles begin to ap
pear' it is a good plan to bathe the
face once a day for awhile in a harm
less solution made by dissolving an
ounce of powdered saxolite in a half
pint of witch hazel.
This is a remarkably effective in
erasing the hateful lines, not oniy
because of its astringent action which
tightens the skin and thus irons out
the lines, but also because of a help
ful tonle effect which improves capil
lary circulation and nerve tone. There
is nothing better for iiabby cheeks or
chin. Be sure to ask the druggist for
the powdered saxolite.
