Way in Forming a League Of
Nations to Garry Out Pro-
posaIs of the League.

WASHINGTON, May 2f-J. Mott
Hallowell, of Boston, at the first an
nual national assemblage Of the
League to Enforce Peace, this morn
ing spoke Of the leagues aim to gain
try. He said in part:
THE ultimate goal of the Ameri-
can branch of the League to Enforce
Peace is to have the United States
lead the way in forming a league Of
nations which will carry out the pro-
posals of the league.
THE force that must be mar
shalled in order to reach that goal
and successfully to maintain the po-
sition when reached Is the endorse
ment, with understanding, of a COM
manding number of the voters Of the
United States. The favorable opin-
ion of scholars is not enough. This
force Is necessary for Two reasons.
First, because probably no national
administration would venture to bind
the United States to such radical
step unless this step was first under
stood and endorsed by those people
upon whose backing the administra-
ton must depend il the United
States, after joining this league to
enforce peace, should be called upon
to do Its part in enforcing the peace.
Second, because II any administra-
ton should SO pledge the faith Of our
country and should afterwards be
called upon to make good its. word,
its ability to do so would depend up
on the strength of the public opinion
endorsing the pledge. The endorse
ing opinion, therefore, Of a COM
handing number of the voters Of this
country is the force that must be
marshalled in order TO cause the
United States to initiate the league
of nations, and to make 1t a success
when formed.

America L. Giving Least,

/
The nationwide appeal for funds
for the relief Of the Innocent suffer
ers by the war In Europe and Asia
issued by the Federal Council OF the
Churches Of Christ In America con-
tains a statement Of the facts In re-
gard to the American efforts at relief
which shows that they contrast
poorly with those OF other nations.
II says in part:
The Belgian minister of finance
stated recently that our country has
given seven millions directly to Bel
GUM. In other words only seven
cents per capita; while New Zealand,
bearing Its own war burdens, has
given dollar and a quarter per cap
ita to Belgian relief. England. stag
gering under the war load. has re-
ceived and cared for thousands Of
Belgian refugees. and given millions
Of pounds beside. N.
1T was thought that the United
States, the only great nation un-
touched by the war, might furnish
the food supplies for Belgium, but
the commission was obliged to ask
food from the whole world to save
Belgium from starvation. It must
be remembered also that the gifts to
Belgium from our country include
the large contributions from our
philanthropic foundations, 80 that the
total Of popular contributions is
smaller than 1t appears.
THE American Serbian Relief
Committee has raised about $780,
600. The British Serbian Relief
Committee three months ago had
raised a million and a half pounds
($7. 500, 000) and France two million
fracs (s40O,O00.)
To the Armenians we have given
about $1.00 for each sufferer, cover
Ing the entire period, and this is
largely money from two or three
large givers. It has not touched our
people as a whole.
This is h pretty fair indication OF
the way war relief Is being contrib
uted in other countries beside Amer
lea. 1t should be said that the Jews
OF America have given in aid OF their
people generously.
In answer to our inquiries, an Of
ficer Of the Belgian Relief Committee
reports that the total money gifts
from this country to April i, 1916.
to all Of the war sufferers was $23,-
74O,342. Since these gifts were COM
piled. the Belgian commission alone
mas received somewhere around
$125.000 through the efforts of the
Daughters of the American Reyolu-
tlon In celebration OF King Albert's
birthday. OF course. the sums men,
toned do not include the vast
amount Of work performed by diff
ferent societies, organizations, groups
OF women. etc. who devote great
amount of their time to providing all
sorts OF surgical necessities. No
price has ever been put on this ma
terial. It. is merely shipped to one
Of the allied countries" ri

Admiral Fiske's warning was not

its treatment of preparedness, and
without being amazed that any man

Nevertheless Secretary Daniels
persisted in saying that he had not

now published communication from
President Wilson in answer to a re-
quest from the American Defense
Society that in Justice to Admiral
Fiske, whose veracity was still in
question. an investigation be ordered.

a memorandum from Secretary Dan

is still pleaded, but 1t is said:

ably in any republic, the ultimate
measure of success OF the League to

One WAY, Ont.

President Wilson recently took the
members of the. Washington Press
Club into his confidence and in
formed them that there were many
hardships connected with the presi-
dency. He went SO far us to say that
ut times he went 30 far us to con-
template purchasing set of false
whiskers in order that he might es-
cape from the public gaze.
The members OF the Press Club, by
the way, did not make public the
presidents remarks. On the con-
trary, they treated them as confident-
ial. But Mr.. Wilson was himself SO
pleased with his utterance that he
furnished copies to the press. copies
which were given out at the White
House. II the presidents words are
to be accepted as meaning what they
stand for, It is indeed cruelty for
President Wilson to force Or. Wood
row Wilson to endure another term
in the White House, or even to at
tempt It. avg sso'lsS qr 2Yaa ~ -
Fortunately. however. there is one
way out. The Democratic national
platform on which DR.. Wilson stood
when he asked the American people
for their support, contains o plank
declaring that the Democratic party
fayors a single presidential term and
urging the. adoption Of an amend
ment to the constitution making any
president Ineligible for reelection.
This plan. points the way for Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson to save DR..
Woodrow Wilson from further sur
fering and. assuming that for once
that would not be painful. for keep
ing his word.
Mr.. Wilson should once more put
himself squarely on the platform Of
his party, and decline to incur the
remote risk OF again suffering the
pangs Of the presidency.

Wilson'S Lament

President woodrow Wilson uttered
a lament at Salisbury, N. C. There
are some men-I do not believe they
represent the great rank and file of
the Republican party-but the men
who now control the Republican par
ty, who are looking backward, be-
walled Mr.. Wilson. They have no
sympathy for the forward looking
men of their own party" continued
DR.. Wilson. Now am for the for,
ward looking men, not the backward
looking men,"
It is indeed cruel thing to do to
the Democratic party to look back
ward. It would be dtfacult to con-
ceive anything more brutal than to
looking backward over the record OF
the Democratic administration. Sucn
look backward would reveal rec
ord Of inef1ciency, vacillation and
corruption which would make every
Intelligent and patriotic citizen de-
plore the day when he entrusted 70
Wilson and his party the destinies OF
the nation. It is hardly to be Won
dered that DR.. Woodrow Wilson
should boldly assert that he is Tor
forward looking and not for the back
ward looking man. So great pnli-
osopher as he keen1y realizes the fol-
iy Of looking backward, the unescdpa.
bic danger that by looking backward
the voters may be brought to reali-
astion OF their mistake OF four years
ago. the certainty that the voter who
looks backward may profit by ea-
perience and refuse to blunder In the

backward may observe that DE-. WE
