President Roosevelt, In deriding the

the program Of the league or deliberately
misstated the facts.
"Many have dweit upon the advantages
Of peace" he said, and many have had
visions of the cessation of wars. but it
was left for President Wilson to bring
to head what literature has predicted
for ages and what has been proclaimed
for thousands OF years.
What the league aims to do is to
codify international law, which has
been thrown pretty much to the discard
in recent years. and eliminate secret
diplomacy, SO that when a war is start
ed the people will know what the war
is for and why it was started. No ma
ton would be allowed to go to war
until it told the world what it was go

the trenches in Europe today do not
know what they are fighting for. All
they know is that they We're called to

though below the Crescent the river is
open as far as Montpelier. The river
