THE LAST RESORT.

and plans that are seriously ant
carefully thought out. One of the
best of these is proposed by Ham.
ilton Holt in the Independent. What
is it in its proposal and in the last
resort?
MIR. Holt suggests a League OF
Peace in which the members would
disarm to a point just above the
combined strength of the nations
not in the league. The members
of the league would agree to re-
spect each others territory and
sovereignty, settle disputes by di-
plomacy and arbitration, provide an
international assembly to make
their laws and use their balance of
power as police force to regulate
outside nations. This is the frame
work of his plan which he devel-
ops carefully and fully.
Following his argument that 'in-
ternational law has now reached
the stage of development that pri-
vate law reached in the tenth GEN.
tury" it is not impossible that
World Confederation may in time
develop. After this war is over
conditions will be more favorable
for start in that direction than
they otherwise could have been.
But even then it will be a slow
movement, for the ratio of differ
ences in language, ideas, and ideals
is against a world development in
comparison to the development of
a single nation.
But grant for illustration that all
this has come about, and then look
at the last provision in Mr.. Hollis
rules for the League. 1t is that any
member after due notice may with
draw or may be expelled from the
League by the other members. At
once your balance of power is
broken. The one member-per-
haps long before the disunion-
secretly increases it's armament
Even then it may be weaker than
he combined strength of the 9TH
ers, but trouble arises, force is
lsed, an outside nation jumps in
md then another and another
agreements once more become
scraps of paper and another war 1
S on.
This, the last resort, is the Joker 1
o all peace plans.

Smallpox was a scourge then. II
was as bad as the bubonic plague
in eastern countries is today. And
man, gambler that he is, decided to
escape present sufferings from the
disease and risk what church Off
cials threatened would eventually
come to those who dared to have
the little scratch made on their
arms.
So the example of the radicals
was followed. Vaccination was
adopted generally in civilized coun-
tries. The church, finding its pro-
testations against its use availing
naught, struck it from the list of
sins.
Since then the scientists have
been steadily at work in their ill
smelling laboratories fighting the
Affections of mankind. The church
now is liberal. But there are some
people who yet look upon such men
as idlers and are ready to scoff at
the work they do.
A few years ago, especially in
Kansas, there came a new disease
infantile paralysis. Little babes,
twitching with distorted limbs died
in great numbers. Doctors were
baffied. Scientists began their
studies of the disease methodically, !
patiently, even as they have done
for generations. .
DR.. Simon Flexner, head of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research, spoke in Baltimore a few
days ago. He announced he had sue
ceeded in producing this disease in \
animals by the injection of the cuI- >
ture of germ which he says ;
brings on infantile paralysis. Now
it probably will be only a short
time until scientists will know how
to kill this germ-to cure this dis
ease.
Don't scoff. When you are in
clined to think of the men who pot
ter around in laboratories as "old
fogies,' think of that. Because
they do not mix with men of the
business world does not mean they
are idlers. They really are busy.
Very busy.
Think of vaccination against
smallpox, against typhoid fever, of
and of medicines for the
curing of diseases which once were
sure death to man. Then speak of
such scientists with awe. Un-
doubtedly, that you are alive today
is due to the labors of these. q

This is not always a successful pro-

are ignorant Of its language, customs,

not because the department store is
