What !s at stake now fs the peace of the world. What we aro striving for is a new international order based upon broad and universal principles of right and i Justice—no mere peace of shreds and patches.” ‘This new international order is far clearer to the Austrian For- vign Minister, Count Czernin. Here the President scores his second point by indicating plainty in what he says of Anstria the direction Teutonic thought and action| ke, before it is too late, to free Teutonic peoples from the fate h autocracy and militarism are driving them. e and more the function of the United States on the political cide of the conflict appears in the modernization, the broadening, the humanizing of aims struggling to free themselves from the bonds of an older European statecraft. The President of the United States is in the best position of any man in the world to-day to lay down the principles of the new inter- nationalism. He is determined that the platform of world peace shal! contain no worn-out planks, A for filing income and excess profits returns under the War Tax Law is announced by the Internal Revenue Commissioner. To a public valiantly struggling with the intricate requirements cf the new law this extension offers a welcome measure of relief.

GAYLY clad party of Indians drew up their canoes on the beach of Mackinac Island early in June, 1763, and | proceeded to camp on the meadow in front of the fort that guarded the island. This fort was garrisoned by American colonists and by a few British soldiers, The Indians evidently came in peace, so thelr presence did not greatly interest the garrison. On the morning of June 4 a chief went to the fort gates and announced that the Indians were going to play ball that day. He invited the garrison to come out and see the game. The fort's inmates glady ac- cepted the invitation. Life was slow at Mackinac and they welcomed any chance of amusement. The ball game was not very exciting to the soldiers and the rest of the white men. They lay about on the grass of the meadow, yawning as they watched it. Suddenly one of the players made @ wild throw at a moment when the ball was near the fort's wall. Over the wall the ball flew, dropping into the courtyard beyond, ‘ The players rushed through the open gates tm pursuit of it, unchecked by the laughing sentinels, Oar sadly tlt eae ‘And on their heels every Indian on the island rasheg y a Ruse, in. The moment the redsk had passed through the gates they flung off thetMRaudy peace blankets, [ revealing themselves in full war paint and armed to the tecth, Then the massacre began, Resistance was uscless, The bewildered garrison fought as best it cout’, but before long every white man in the place was captured or killed. The same fate befell eight other forts and posts on the Great Lakes a§ almost the same time, The whole thing was part of Pontiac's conspiracy t@ clear a}! English speaking people out of the Northwest, Pontiac was a powerful Indian sachem, who hated the American jlonists, This wus his way of getting rid of the men who were gradually roaching on the Great Lakes region.

A® Indian girl who had fallen in love with Gladwyn warned him of Pontiac scheme. Next day Pontiac, at the head of a body of blanketed warriors, paid a visit to the fort.
