Glumly, the Germans chorused, “Ja.” They wanted an armistice; whereupon Foch had the terms read off to them. Nor were they “soft.” On the contrary, they set the mission back on its heels. In addition to the occupation of the left bank of the Rhine, with bridge= heads, they called on the kaiser to give up practically his entire machine forthwith. When the Germans demurred, Foch told them they could take it or leave it and he set a time limit within which they were to answer yes or no. Erzberger’s feeble effort to drag in President Wilson's “14 points” was promptly, and rightly, squeiched. The 14 points had nothing to do with the surrender of the kaiser's army; that had to be unconditional. The “points” were a concession to the German people and there was a tremendous differences Parallel Situation Today the allies face an almost

Outstanding Example

AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE of what can be done in the field, of health to help people meet the cost of illness without leaning upon the government for funds or control is provided by the history of the Cleveland Hospital Service association. One of the pionder'organizations of its kind in the country this organization, of course, is concerned only with the provision of hospitalization. Its activities do hot extend to the physician or surgeon. Its experience during the last 10 years was outlined by Michael A. Kelley, associate director of the

At the present time there are 78 such associations operating in the United ‘States, although details of operations differ in various communities. The important point, however, is that all these communities have found a way of enabling their residents to cope with the problem of the cost of hospital care. While it is obvious that the subject of medical practice is tly more complex and presents many Pad more difficult nature, the fact remains that these associations by their success ‘present a
