WILSON WRITES PRINCIPAL PUNK For Inclusion in Democratic Platform to Be Adopted At Convention < "AMERICA FIRST" IN PEACE AND HONOR: ^Stress Will Be Laid on Success of Foreign Policy. Tariff Issue w ashington.?The outcome of the administration's efforts to keep the United States out of war and at the s;?ine time maintain the national honor will be the foundation of the foreign affairs plank and one of the emphasized points in the platform to b\* adopted by the Democratic national convention, according to authoritative information obtained from administration sources. As a result of conferences with members of his cabinet and other advisors, President Wilson, who persanally began work several days ago on a platform to be submitted to the con rention, virtually has completed a preliminary craft, leaving only details to be finished after the Republican and Progressive conventions end. The ' President has utilized as a basis for this work features of the Missouri State Democratic platform, which . was prepared, officials have made known, under the direction of the I White House. Following out this idea, it is underI stood that the national platform "will' declare the success of the administration in guarding the honor and interests of the United States in the face of ohsacles and at the same time keeping he nation at peace. The administration's championship against all belligerents of the rights of America and all neutrals on the high seas, will be praised, with the statement that the results will be of great irr.nnmn/>a fA ' f ? ?> JIIUUH UII V.V/IIIII1C! te, 1Th??

Another section is expceted to land the administration for maintaining the Monroe Doctrine and fostering fair dealing with the other republics of the western hemisphere, resulting j in the building up of trade with those nations.

BRITISH TROOPERS ~ TAKE FRENCH WIVES Many Romances Developing From the War on the Continent. Gafe ,of the results of the presence of the British army in France is that a good many Brtish soldiers will take French wives home with them. The difference in language far from being a barrier, is an accessory. Tommie Atkins teaches Miss Franee English and Miss France teaches Tommie Atkins/Rrench. There is plenty of leisure for the courtship to develop. Frequently British batallions remain in the same section for months at a time. When the men have done their shift in the trenches they return, 'in rest" as the saying goes, to the same villages where they were before. Usually they have quarters in the French houses. In a sense they become members of the community. With the French men folk away the British soldier lends a hand with any heavy, work which requires a man's strenirth. Onlv trwhiv thn ^nrrnsnnnil 0 - " V ent saw a British soldier drawing a harrow. A feminine hand does some sewing or cooking for him in return. The romantic atmosphere is not liking. When the Briton says "au revoir" to his sweetheart and starts for the trenches he may never come back, and he is going to fight for France. On Sunday afternoons the girls are out in their best frocks as they are anywhere else in the world, and walking with them along the roads and lanes are men in khaki; their conversations are a mixture of French and English. It is not romance alone that loads the Briton to marry in France. He has learned to admire the thrift and cleverness of the French woman and her industry in taking the place of her fathers and brothers who are at the front. o DIES AT 106 George Sizemore Claimed to Have Passed Beyond Century Mark.

While friends of Vice President Marshall believe there is no doubt that he will be renominate 1 they are not urging the President to take a stand on. the question, bceause they are other candidates, notably Governor Major, of Missouri. The plan of the convention managers is to have Alabama give away to. New Jersey when the rpll is called for the nomination of Presidential candidates so that John W.
