Paris. Sunday, May 11— Count
Von It intfkdoi-ff • It iuiI ai a, t iCrrnnu
foreign minister and chief of the
German pence delegation, in uddro us-
ing a note to’Ptvmier Cietrtenceaii iel«-
tivj> to the repatriation of prisoners,
asks tluit the details of the transfer
he entrusted to commissions.
The tier man foreign minister states
that the Germau peace delegation has
•'notoil with satisfaction" that the
draft of the treaty recognizes in prill
ciple tin1 repatriation of tlerman war
and civilian prisoners with great ox-
jiedition and say* that special com
missions might carry on direct oral
discussions which would .include all
belligerent states, it being pointed out
that even during hostilities this has
proved a most effective way of solving
difficulties.
The note says that this work should
lie unlit) easier, now that the war !«
over and would remove differences of
conception or lack of clearness on
particular points, such as legal con-
ceptions In individual countries. The
German delegate n. it is said, consid-
ers it indispensable that those war
and civilian prisoners detained or un-
dergoing punishment for other limn
disciplinary offenses should in princi-
ple he included among those to lie un-
ci >nd itionaliy repat ria ted.
' "Regarding vy.ar ami civilian prison-
ers of allied and associated powers to
its hands.'' the note sa\ - -Gorman
lias recognized the same principle. 1
appears self-evident to the Gernuir
delegation therefore that on ground-
of fairness certain alleviations in thi
treatment of- prisoners should )w
agreed nt«m pending fljtdr return.*' ■ .
The note then proceeds:
“In a one-sided manner, some feel
the stipulations have been made in
favor of the allied and associated gov-
ernments. For instance. those regard
ing the sttrrcndcr of personal property,
the seffreh for missing objects ant*
the care of graves might be cited. T*
is assumed that these ipiestiims 'dr
mnnd for a, complete reciprocity, is
founded on genera! hummi lights ”
The note then refers to a nttmlier
“I return from the Fnited States
witli much enthisiaam for Kngland.
Italy. Prance, Belgium, Japan anil
perhaps above all, Mexico.”
He accuses the 1'nitcd States of
“fomenting revolutions In Mexico.''
and says that "Brazil, is considered
by the Halted States only as a ihis-
sihle future colony,''
He adds:
"The I'nited States wants to obtain
as part of the payment of the debt of
France and Kngland a bond for Bra-
zil's debt to those (lowers. On the
day this is realized Brazil will be
sold to the 1'nlted States, which tin
the first occasion we fail to meet the
interest will do us as she lias done
flic Central American nations.”
Senator Albuquerque belittles the
part the 1'nlted States took In the
war, saying that the only American
victory was the battle at St. Mihlel.
which he says was “gained with F.ng.
lish artillery ami French aviation.''
and attacks the censors Which he re-
marks "has prevented these ami
other facts front becoming known."
He attacks the Monroe Doctrine and
President Wilson, ridiculing the Pres-
ident's activities in the peace con-
gress. He concludes by saying:
“The I'nited States incontestably is
the. Prussia of tomorrow.”

.1. E. I.ewis. general secretary of

man Thompson returned Saturday
from a trip to the Sherman V. M. C.
A.,summer camp site on the l'enning-
toii River' In Oklahoma. where all
noceswary arrangements were made
for the hoys' ramp to lie held .imme-
diately after school is out. next month.
The cnnip site Is the same as wns
used two year* ago. being h half
mile above Sllpnery Falls and about a
pjilc and a half above Devil’s Den. on
the Pennington. Mr* I.ewis states tint
file property has recently changed
owuersliip. Imt that no trouble was
experienced in getting the consent of
file new owner, since the Shenuan
“V" hoys have never in anv way made
trouble for the owner of the camp
site.
The camp will he near an old ford^
and affords fine provisions for swim
nihig, fishing, baseball and game
playing, remit work. etc. The location
of the mess tent, volley ball and ten-
nis courts and other locations were
decided upon. •
Eggs. huttcr and other provisions
will he secured a«- usual from farmers
in the neighborhood, but on account
of the cost of food being higher this
year, it lias been decided nocessarv to
advance the regular fee from $s to
$10, which cheers ,all costs for . the
trip. Pegtet ration cards are now
ready for the lsi.vs to sign.
Some of tlte acceptable features of
flic camp ibis year are tbc fact that
the oliler boys will bike at least a
part of the war to the camp: each
boy will lie assigned a regular duty
during ids stay in camp, and on .re
turning will know.

Tiie Tank CJrps TJ. R. Army wa*
formed in Aiarcli. 1918. to provide tiie
necessary personnel and equipment *»*-
qulml to carry on the imiairt
piiase of mechanical warfare wlo b
made Tanks one of the most striking
factors in the defeat of tiie German*
in tin* AVorid AVar.
During the jieriod following its or-
ganization thousands of mechanics
and teclinieall.V trained men were at-
tracted to this branch of the service
and were formed Into a highly trained
organization. Tiie units of the Tank
Corps which- ■ pratieipated in the of-
fensives that marked the close of tin*
AVorid AVar rendered efficient, and
conspicuous service and received more
decoration* for tiie number of men
engaged than any other branch of
ihe service.
At the present time five thousand
men are required for service in tiiis
new and attractive branch of our ,
Army. It is a motorized fighting unit •
which will-always bo at the front witli
die first units because of its duties
which involve the initial crushing of
enemy defense* liefore the dismounted
troops advance and on account of the
value of the Tank units as fighting
forces in sectors where unnrmored
and less mobile units could hot op-
erate.
The Tank Sendee requires active
men of good mental qualities who have
had training or experience In mc-
chaiiieal work or who have special ta-
