Presl dent Wood row Wilson thla afternoon laid before the l-nlted (Slates Senate the complete text of the peace treaty, which, already signed by Germany and the Allies, will when ratified by the Senate finish the task of ending the great World war. Until action has. been taken by tills tipper branch of the United States Congress, the president explained, a technical state of war must continue and in no un certain terms did he raise the League of Nations issue. ' "The people of the world are bled white," said the President. "They want and demand a permanent peace," lie continued and warned the members of the senate that unless the League of Nations was not created there must be another and final war and the world must then be wept clean of every power that could renew the terror. "Rejection of this treaty by the United Mates would break the hearts of those who have fought and suffered to bring about a peace that seems perman ent," said President Wilson to an audience of eager listeners. Peace Creates New Task. "The formulation of peace creates a new task," said Presidnet Wilson at Carnegie hall, New York, late Tuesday afternoon. "The great task will be to preserve it. I have come back with my heart filled with en thusiasm, to throw my influence with you to ese that peace is observed and kept." BALL GAME SUNDAY quantity of gas can be taken into the bags.

Sixteen of these tanks are fixed to the frame work of the bag structure and the others are known as sliding tanks and can be discarded as ballast should the occasion arise.

JOHNSON RE-BUYS THE SILVER GRILL CAFE New Firm Took Charge of Popular Eating House Saturday 4iar in Interested, i At the meeting of the city council Tuesday evening it was decided by the rcepibers of the board to reduce the tax levy made for city revenue pur poses when the new levy was finally made. Last year the taxpayers of Al liance were asked for sixty-two and one-half mills upon the dollar, as sessed valuation, but according to es timates now made the levy this year will call for but a fraction more than forty-seven. The council in making this estimate has taken into consld- around which the activities revolved and was open from seven each morn lng until about two o'clock the fol lowing morning. Mr, Jones, since coming to the Alliance club has prov en himself an expert In his chosen line of endeavor and though he loses sight of the grandstand In soing Bbou this work, he gets re sults.

The Soldiers' and Sailors' Reunion and the race meet of 1919, Alliance, is now a thing of the past. The crowds have come and gone and the : remler racing program of westorn Nebraska, not only for the year but ' for many years, Is now at matter of ' record. Friday, July 4th, was as was ' expected the big day. Early In the ' morning the people came from the urroundlng towns and communities and by mid-day there was assembled v n the city one of the largest crowds ever gathered In western Nebraska ' to witness the carrying out of such " a program. The grandstand was fill ed; the bleechers were Jammed and the quarter stretch was a seething ' mass of Interested humanity. uespue tne fact that the heavy rains ot Thursday would have ordin arily tended to dampen the enthusi asm of those who planned to attend ; upon this day and the further fact ' that in spite of all the committee In charge could do the track must nee- ' essarily be heavy, there was not a sign of dissatisfaction and the pro gram was carried out without av riffle. t In the first race of the day, , the 2:19 pare or trot. Empire Express. owned by our townsman George A.

Coming as this did after two heats had been taken by Empire Express It caused added interest In a . good race and caused the next and deciding heat to be exceptionally ex citing. Splendid time was made in each, mile-heat and had the track keen in ordinary condition some sur- prises ... would-1 surely., have been sprung. ., , i , . The Alliance Derby, one of the two $1,000 . races, was without a ; doubt one of the closest races ever wintnessed on the Alliance track. and was won by Hamilton A in a neck-to-neck finish.

The Saturday program suffered the cancellation of the harness race - because of a very muddy track. The back stretch was a veritable lake and the owners asked that the race be called off rather than to attempt rac ing over such a course. The running ' even-Is however, furnished no end of excitement and thrills and despite the condition of the pathway some close matches were staged. ' Sweet Alyssum took the first money In the five-eighths race with White Shield a close second. Bob A. . was third and Shamrock Green fourth. The race was fast and the winner hard to pick until the final under-tbe-wlre finish. The fourth race, four furlongs, was called off by the Judges after being won by Lady Mack, with Tem pey Duncan second. This action was fact that in starting the entries the official starter held to the bridle of Tempey Duncan momentarily, it seemed, after the word had been given. This action was Justified ac cording to the opinion of some who witnessed the race because or the ex cessive "Jockeying" done by the rid ers despite the warnings of the offi cial, In getting off.
