man be so slow to learn this simple
and fundamental truth that nothing but
morality and religion can safeguard the
highest interests of the race and pre-
serve the peace of the world?
Some wise men tell us we should
have a League to Enforce Peace" and
in the suggestion there is doubtless
much that is worthy of consideration
But i'm the absence of the moral basis
of essential righteousness no League.
however wise and strong. can so en-
force peace as to hold war-like impulses
in perpetual restraint. Against pow
erful nation, disposed to disturb the
peace of the earth, no more powerful
,league could be brought to bear than
that of the Allied Nations which today
are at war with Germany. and yet the
war goes on in spite of their allegiance.
Submarines still commit daily the crime
of ASA ssination. From powerful air
craft bombs are dropped hourly upon
non-combatants in the cities and towns
of Europe. What alliance, hOweve!
strong, can be made which will be able
to cope with instrumentalities lik
these, when a powerful nation is re-
solved upon using such implements of
warfare, and has taken time to prepar-
for itself a great stock of such mortal
machinery moreover, we must expect
that human invention will devise yet
more deadly machines to carry on war
on the earth, above the earth, and be-
meath the seas. Will not future inven-
tions in all probability be such that one
nation can so equip itself for war as to
be virtually omnipotent? Against a
nation thus equipped a combination of
other nations could bring nothing bet
ter than a deadlock. Power raised to
the highest point can do what il pleases.

consideration for moral principle.
The world can not look with conf
dence to treaties OF peace nor to leagues
to enforce peace unless all these pacific

nObler moral life than now prevails in
the earth. If peace is to be enjoyed
by the nations without i'll g.

not by any mere political covenants and
national agreements. The pledges of
both individuals and nations are never
better than the moral character of
those who make them. Covenants of
peace must, therefore. rest upon invio-
liable moral principles. or they will be
speedily thrown to the winds as mere
scraps of paper"
At last men must recognize the fact
that this war-weary world can have no
permanent peace until it seeks and
finds il at the feet of the Prince of
Peace. Our disquieted race must be
pacified under the truce of God

LEMONS BRING OUT
THE HIDDEN BEAUTY
Make this lotion for very little
cost and Just see
for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard of
lemon juice to remove complexion blem-
ishes: to bleach the skin and to bring
out the roses. the freshness and the hid
den beauty? But lemon juice alone is
acid. therefore irritating, and should
be mixed with orchard white this way.
Strain through A fine cloth the juice
of two fresh lemons into a bottle CON
tanning about three ounces OF orchard
white. then shake well and you have
whole quarter pint Of skin and corr
plexion lotion at about the cost one
usually pays for small jar OF ordinary
cold cream. Be sure to strain the lemon
juice so no pulp gets into the bottle.
then this lotion will remain pure and
fresh for months. When applied daily
to the face, neck, arms and hands It
should help to bleach. clear. smoother
and beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three ounces
of orchard white at very little cost and
the grocer has the lemons.-tAdTt-l

FIFTEEN MILLION TO SPEND
FOR GENERAL FOOD SURVEY

. Washington, May 29.-The adj
ministration food survey bill was
passed by the house today without
record vote. 1t appropriates $14.-
10000 for an immediate investi-
cation Of the country's food resourc-
es and for measures to stimulate
production. A similar bill is under
debate in the senate.
Material gathered will be turned
over to Herbert G. Hoover, who will
be named to head food admins
tration.
Many Republicans, including eX-
Speaker Cannon, repeatedly attack
ed the measure as wasteful, particu-
arly as to the survey feature.
Chairman Lever of the agricultural
committee declared heatedly in clos
ing debate today they were raising
a false issue. A report can be made
in six months it is claimed.

COALITION CABINET HELPLESS
Laborers' Enormous Demands Arc
Bringing Economic Ruin to
New Republic-Problems
BATTLING Leaders

Petrograd, May 29.-The indus
trial crisis in Russia is so acute
that. according to a recent utter
ance of the minister of finance, Al.
Shingaroff, only a miracle can save
the country from economic ruin
The demands of the workmen were
50 enormous, he declared, that It
seemed Impossible to keep the in
dustrial wheels going for any great
length of time.
An investigation of factory condi-
tons in Petrograd leads to the
alarming conclusion that unless the
government soon finds a means of
adjusting the present difficulties,
most of the industrial enterprises
working for national defense will
be compelled to close within few
months. The outstanding features OF
the labor situation are:
Virtually the same difficulties
prevail in all the big factories in
D
Petrograd, and apparently authen.
ticated reports from the Moscow,
Donetz and Ural districts indicate
general DISCRIMINATION.
In many of the factories the de-
mands by the workmen for increas-
cd wages actually are greater than
the entire profits of the factories
under the best conditions of pro-
duction. The workmen, through their
committees. virtually are in COM
mand of the factories, and all bust
ness has to be submitted to them
for approval Wages in a majority
OF the factories already have been
increased from 100 to $50 per cent.
but there yet has been no offset by
an advance in prices Of the output.
An eight hour law has also become
effective in all factories.
