President Wilson Re- ,
turns in March.
By Associated Press. ...
Paris, Feb. 23. Results of far
reaching character were obtained at
the meeting of the council of the
great powers Saturday, when reso
lutions were adopted requiring such
a speeding up of all work of the
peace conference as to permit the
formation of a peace treaty by the
time President Wilson returns to
Paris jn the middle of March.
To accomplish this all commis
sions dealing with big questions
such as reparations, boundaries and
economic and financial issues must
report to the supreme council within
the next two weeks or by March 8
at the latest. These reports, in
turn, will form a basis for the draft
ing of the treaty.
N Confer With Clemenceau.
An extensive program has been
carefully matured within the past
few days and it was brought to a
culmination this afternoon when A.
J. Balfour, British foreign secre
tary,' and Col. E. M. House of the
American delegation called on Pre
mier Clemenceau. Each found the
wounded statesman dressed and
sitting tip and keenly alert and fully
agreed on the plan for rapid accele
ration of work.
This brought together the British,
American and French viewpoints for
a rapid course of action assuring
the earliest possible peace. Shortly
afterward the supreme council met
and ratified the program.
To Draft Broad Plan.
The main feature of the speeding
up plan is to embody all subjects,
both nonmilitary and military, in the
peace soon to be framed and to have
this broad general document take
the place of disarmament which i3
being prepared by the supreme war
council under the direction of Mar
shal Foch, who was to present it
within the next few days.
It will be. this broad general plan
which will be drafted by the time
the president returns and which will
soon thereafter go before the peace
conference.
The foregoing action relates only
to Germany, as the conclusion of
this preliminary peace treaty is re
garded as of highest importance.
But similar action may proceed at
the same time concerning Austria,
Bulgaria and Turkey. Although the
proposed document- is designed as
a preliminary peace treaty it is ex
pected to embody virtually all main
questions. ,

83 Miles From City
Juarei. Mexico., Feb. 23. An
irmed Villa band was reported
oday at a point north of Villa
Ahumada, 83 miles south of here.
Whether the band is a main Villa
column under Martin Lopez or a
scouting party under Ramon Vega
or other minor chief was not
known here tonight, but its pres
ence within the 100-mile radius
of Juarez is causing continued
vigilance in the border district.
Jesus Agustin Castro, com
mander of the northeastern zone,
who arrived here late last night,
i was busy making reconnoitering
trips in all directions from Juarez
today.
This unusual military activity,
coupled with authentic reports
from south of Juarez that Villa
bands were active, caused many
rumors of impending attacks to be
circulated here today.
American mining and smelter
men continue to arrive at the bor
der from the interior of Mexico,
fearing Francisco Villa will carry
out his threats to wreck all Amer
ican owned mines and mills and
kill Americans unless a tribute
estimated at $1,000,000 gold is paid
by the big American companies
. operating in the north of Mexico.
March 1 was the date set by
Villa for carrying out his threat.
Many properties are being closed.

The dear editor .r.llows us 200
words, and until March 1,-jn which
to define love! Isn't he the little
joker? He knows doggone well
that it cawn't be done. But then
a million words and a million years
wouldn't be any better. There
aren't enough words in the world
to define it, but oh, boy! Isn't it a
grand and glorious feeling?
No. 77.
There is known to man, and ex
perienced by some, pure, true love;
and it is as much above the mere
base brute lust that dwells in the
loins as heaven is above hell. Love
has its seat as lust has its seat in
the bodily man but they arc not
the same. In woman love the more
prevails, and lust in man."" To bring
It about that love shall altogether
prevails in both is to bring one of
the greatest of blessings to man
kind. "Love is the sense of the pres
ence of one's harmonial tempera
mental mate. The harmony may be
only partial, or it may be complete
and perfect. So the love may be

President Will Land Today at
Boston and Leave for
Washington at 4:30
After Ceremonies.
On Board the U. S. S. Georpe
Washington, Feb. 23. The', presi
dent's ship and its destroyer" escort,
the Harding, lost their bearings in
the heavy fog and rain off the Mas
sachusetts coast this afternoon while
running for Boston light and came
within perhaps ' 1,000 yards oi
grounding off the beach of That.'h
es island. Cape Ann.
The two vessels were proceeding
on (fcad .reckoning about S o'clock
wifTi the Harding as a guard ship
ahead. Suddenly the Harding'."
lookout discovered laud and the de
stroyer g4ve five quick blasts 'ly
her whistle and made a quick tuni
across the Washington's bow.
'Engines Reversed.
The wind was landward and th?
sound was carried away from the
George Washington instead of to
ward her.. The Washington deck
officer, however, saw the five jets
of steam from the Harding's whistle
and signalled the engine room for
full speed astern.,-
The big ship trembled and quiver
ed with the throbbing of the mighty
engines and that was the first inti
mation any of the passengers and
most of the crew had of what was
going on.
President Hastens on Deck.
President Wilson noticed the mo
tion at once and with Admiral
Grayson went on deck. He was
quite unconcerned, however, and his
attitude was more one of curiosity
and interest. Troops and passen
gers piled on decks at the same time
and saw the rollers on the sandy
beach and the summer cottages.
Although going full speed the
Washington stopped quickly and
easily and began backing "away,
while the destroyers turned to
wallowing about the big liner. The
lead was dropped quickly and deep
water immediately was reported.
. "I don't care if it is the beach,"
exclaimed one soldier, "it's the
good old U. S. A., whatever it is,
and I say 'hurray for it.' "
Observations Difficult.
s After backing a short distance,
Captain McCauley dropped anchor
to make observations and get bear
ings, while the destroyers formed a
semi-circle about the president's
ship, waiting for orders. The wind
whipped up a bit and a blind snow
flurry swept down , orr the port
quarter, making observations even
more difficult. Then the wind
shifted, and drove the snow flurrv
off to the north, the fog lifted and
one of the officers perched on the
upper deck' sang out: "Thatcher's
island dead ahead."
The weather continued to clear
every moment and before an hour
had quite passedjt was possible to
see from four , to six miles. The
George Washington then backed
out, and, turning south, headed for
Boston light, where a pilot was
waiting at the buoys at the mouth
of the channel.
Presidential Party Remains
Aboard Steamer Over Night
Boston, Feb. 23. President Wil
son's ship arrived in Boston harbor
early this evening and anchored with
all the presidential party remaining
aboard. Tomorrow, sometine be
fore noon, the president and those
accompanying him from the Paris
peace conference will come ashore
for brief ceremonies of welcome and
a short speech by the president iii
Mechanics hall. The whole party
will leave for Washington by spc-

If this is so. then one of the most

how to know when true love is

True love is a warm, sincere feel
