Purposes Of the League.
The purposes of the league contemplates
formal and organized effort to lessen the
likelihood of war There are no Illusions
regarding the practicability of abolish
ing war altogether for some years to
come 1t is a proposal to create an inter-
national police force which, like its
humber municipal prototype. may not
he able to prevent crime altogether. but
does promote law and order
Recognizing the futility of attempting
to influence the present European crisis.
the league does not propose to launch its
international program until after the war
is ended. Meanwhile an effort is being
made to develop and crystalline public
opinion here to support authority when
the proper time comes Since nearly all
the leaders of politics and business in
the country are in substantial agreement
upon its program the league anticipates
no particular difficulty in gaining the sup
port of an overwhelming public opinion.
The platform of the League to En-
force Peace is as follows:
1T is desirable for the United States
to join a league of nations binding the
signatories to the following:
Outline of Proposals.
First. All justiciable questions aris-
ing between the signatorv powers not
settled by negotiation. shall, subject
to the limitations of treaties be sub
mitted to a judicial tribunal for hear
ing and Judgment. both upon the merits
and upon any issue as to it's jurisdic
tion of the question.
Second. All other questions arising
between the sgnatories and not settled
by negotiation. shall be submitted to a
council of conciliation for hearing, con-
sideration and recommendation.
Third. The signatory powers shall
Jointly use forthwith both their econ
omic and military forces against any
one of their number that goes to war,
or commits acts of hostility, against
another of the Signatories before any
question arising shall he submitted as
provided in the foregoing.
Fourth. Conferences between the
signatory powers shall be held from
time to time to formulate and codify
rules of international law. which, un-
less some Signatory shall signify its
dissent within a stated period, shall
thereafter govern in the decisions of
the judicial tribunal mentioned in
article !.

When these came in for attention from the raiders the present plan of using ''stage scenery" factories and barracks as Zeppelin decoys was outlined.
 These decoys consist simply of sections of imitation walls pierced with windows which by means of guys and props can be made to represent the side or sky lighted roofs of factory or barracks. Where practicable the illumination is furnished by running a cable from the nearest electric transmits sion line and where this is too troublesome or expensive carbide or kerosene lamps are employed The sections hook or clamp togeth- CT and are made small enough to allow of a stock of them being carried on one of the big war motor trucks.-B.

DECoYS FOR THE ZEPPELINS.
British Build Stage Factories" For
 Teutons to Waste Bombs on.

1 am credibly informed that what might be called "diversionary" pro- tective measures have been em- ployed by Britain with considerable success. These consist of various ingenious devices calculated to draw the fire of the Zeppelins away from the points where they could do the most harm. The idea is said to have originated in the mind of Norfolk farmer after a pile of chaff which he had been burning on the night of raid was made the target of several well placed Zeppelin bombs.
 "The Zepps thought my fire was the blast of the mills" he told an air service officer. "Why not have some ready to fool 'em the next time they come?"
 Since factories and barracks were the main object of attack why not provide some that could be found without difficulty and the destruct- ion of which could be of small moment? The first experiment was made by cutting window holes" in a row of billboards- "hoardings" the English call them along a railway and Illuminating each orifice with a carbide lamp.

MANY PRECEDENTS
 FOR VILLA'SPU
JACKSON INVADED FLORIDA. THEN OWNED BY
 SPAIN.

In ordering United States troops into Mexico to hunt down Villas bandit army President Wilson act ed on the principle of international law sanctioning punitive expedition against factions in foreign state which cannot be or are not pre- vented by the constituted author ities of that state from attacking its neighbors.
 Authorities on international law and practice pointed to many pre- eedents witnessing the general ac- eeptance of this principle It was written into the treaty of 1890 be tween the United States and Mexi- co. which now has lapsed, in the form of provision under which the military forces of either coun- try could pursue marauders across the international line where "a hot trail existed. Even before this treaty was negotiated. however General Lawton pursued band of raiding Apaehes into Mexico.
 Daniel Webster as secretary of state accepted the "hot trail" prin- ciple in negotiating with Canadian authorities in 1S42 during the Fen ian troubles in Canada.
 In two instances General Andrew Jackson headed punitive expeditions into Florida while that territory was 3 Spanish possession. One was against a flibustering faction based on Amelia island and operating against the United States. The oth- CT resulted in the destruction of the town Of St. Mare, which had been the base Of Creek Indian ex- peditions against the United States and involved the hanging by United States troops of a British subject who General Jackson charged was employed by the Greeks as spy. The British government investigat- cd that incident, but never protest ed.
 Officials recalled many other in stances where the ''hot trail' prin- ciple had been invoked in some form by this and other governments and declared there could be no doubt of it's applicability in the case of Villa.

WHAT WE OWE WEATHER.

l wonder what we should feel like if the weather were always the same? 1 believe we arc not half grateful enough to the inter est which the weather puts into our lives. We may grumble and call it inconstant, yet it is this very inconsistency and changefulness which provides us with an endless variety of thought and feeling.
 Take an ordinarey circustance- such as our afternoon cup of tea and you can obtain entirely diff ferent atmosphere for it from diff ferent weathers, albeit the teapot is the same old teapot, the room the same old room, and your com panions the same old companions. Tea in bright sunshine, tea in the gloaming, just before lights are lit tea in storm, tea with white snow outside - they are all diff ferent.
 When next you start grumbling at the weather, therefore, nip the impulse in the bud. For I declare the weather is your very good friend, however baffling It's dis guise.
