the Secretary of the .\avy paid the following tribute to the efllcacy of the civil service system:
¦¦Under the law all navy-yard workmen must be recririted through the civil service, and the department desireis to express its gratifictil ion and apprrriatiojj of the manner in whicii tho Civil Service fommissioii met the emergency and by the crea¬ tion of almost a new organizalion and the fearless cutting of all need¬ less rod tape has done all that was possible to meet the Navy's demands in the shortest practical time."
.As soon as war /Was declared the Civil Service Commission made an arranpoment with the Navy Depart¬ ment to instruct the responsible offi- I ers at navy \ards and naval stations to make dail.v report to tho depari- metll hy telegraph of their respect¬ ive needs. The tele'graph reports from the several sources were collect- (ed in the .Navy Department ami lian.smitted daily to the Civil Ser¬ vice Commission.

President Wilson will go direct 'o Italy Irom I'aris. He left I'aris for Home Wednesday night, arriving in the Italian capital Friday. Home is to be, tbe only city in Italy the pres¬ ident will visit. He expects to be away from Pans a week, returning there a week from next Tuesday.
While in Homo the President will bo tho gnest of the Italian govern¬ ment. It seems certain now that he will visil Poiie Henedict and also the .Methodist College.
By the time the President returns to Paris from Italy, the Uritish delc- gale.s to the peace c<jnrerence will iiave arrived. The preliminary con- 'ereiices ma.v then be in sight and Ihe preliminary organizalion work of :lie .Vmerican I'eace .Mission will have liecn completed.
Piesident Wilson plans to spend .N'ew Year's day in Paris and leave lor Italy Wednesday night. He will I etui 11 froin Italy about January lO'.h when the inler-aliitd conferecne will as.semble.

I'he statements disclosed thai I'rance bad determined upon its line of action on virtually all the quest¬ ions involved, including a Society of .Nations, on which .M. I'inchon said the details now were being formula¬ ted.
Premier Clemenceau's statement on the freedom of the seas was the lirsl announcement from a high au¬ thoritative source. This was accep¬ ted as showing that the Uritish and Frencli viewpoints were in accord. .M. Clemenceau's reftrence to hi-i talks with President W'ilson indica'ed that they had tended to bring out the significance of the French promi'- cr's previous conversations with the British prime minister regarding thi- action of the British fleet during the war, without which he admitted France could not have continued the war, as well as his favorable attitud.' toward the future British fleet.
The sentiment prevails in confer¬ ence cir(;Ies here that the American attitude will not become definite un¬ til further knowledge is obtained con¬ cerning tha conversations between President Wilson, Premier Clemen¬ ceau and Premier Lloyd George.
.M. Clemenceau's overwhelming majority on the vote of confldence i i the chamber of deputies make him a commanding ligure in France similar to that of Lloyd George as a result of the British elections. It is expected that the names of the French peace delegates soon will be announced as a result of the strong sirpport given to the cabinet.

It became known Friday that I'oor Directors Johnson and King have for¬ med a combination to elect Hobert Holm, a Wilson township milk- deal¬ er, steward of the county house. The annual meeting for the election of ofllcers is usually held on .New Year's Day but it is understood that no elec titiii will be held until after the in- \ estigation of the affairs of the direc¬ tors scheduled for next week.
For a year or more I'etar J. Boehm has been unable, because of illness, to perform the duties of steward and tho report that Dr. R. D. Walter, county controller, would refirso to countersign any moro warrants ro:^ Hoi hm's pay. forced the directors to the decision that a man who can di the work would have to be elected steward. At flrst it was said that ¦\ man named Kichline, of Lower Sau¬ con township, where Boehm hails from would be elected his successor. Later the plans were changed.
Holm is a brother of Frank Rohn. the Nazareth undertaker, who Is said to he preparing to announce his can- d dacy for the Democratic nomination !dr poor director next year.
It was announced at the poor house that Boehm had resigned. He says he will quit on the flrst of the year, birt is willing to hold on until his successor  is  elected.

.\s a basis for reaching a future agreement regarding a league of nn¬ tlons. President WUson Is understood to hnve received nssuraiices from Pre¬ mier Lloyd George that be would sup¬ port the plan and make It a part of the treaty of peace, and he found thnt the British view that such a league 's essential to a permanent peace is In complete accord with his own Idea, the British leader bolilltig, however, that the sovereignty of any nation must not be Inipaireil. President Wilson is agreeable to this view.
The preiioiiilerunce of British offi¬ cial opinion Is strongly In faver of a lengue which w«ulit use force to com¬ pel arbitration or n yetir of waiting, believing thnt this would be sufficient to prevent all future war without sac¬ rificing any of tbe attributes of na¬ tional  sovereignty.
There Is every reason to believe that the discussion was mutually satisfac¬ tory and that the two nations are to Work harmoniously together In the peace conference with the snme unity of purpose as cliaracterl7.e<l their mili¬ tary operntlons
