Speaking at the first national annual

them to start with an overwhelming
preponderance of military power. Mr.
Nlarburg said In part:
The question is often asked; II the
United States Joins the proposed Lea
que to Enforce Peace will It involve
the country in wars?
The league must necessarily start
with all. or nearly all, OF the great ma
lions; In other words, with an over
whelming prcponderanco OF military
power. Its potential strength will
then be so great that II need seldom
translate itself into war.
Moreover. the league stops short Of
enforcing the verdict of the tribunals
II proposes to set up All It demands
is n hearing OF the dispute before ma

hands of tho league as such.

One story Is Of well known Graf

otherwise. He was a friend OF the
fireman on said train and they worked

success. The bootlegger rode the
train until getting in what was regard
ed as dangerous territory. Then he
climbed up to the tender tank and got
down inside the water tank with his
booze. The water was getting low in
the tank by that time as the train
was we'll over the mountains and he
only had to stand in water up to his
shoulders. He remained Sin SOAK,
until the train got down in the Graf

gave him the signal when the coasf
was all clear and everything serene
