The world knows that Lord North
cliffc laid bare the ammunition defi-
cheney and attacked Kitchener's short

way this historic upheaval was pre-
cipitatcd. because | now tell the exact
circumstance for the first time.
In the London Times Northcliffe had
published the fact that the British
troops in France We're impotent before
the German guns because of the ia :
mine of high explosives. The Times
had the facts and spoke with the au-
thOrity of confirmed information.
There was no response from govern
mcnt or public. 1t takes a great deal,
you know. to stir the British mind.
SO Northcliffe proceeded to give it the
jolt of its history.
I bne morning in May. 1915, the tele-
phone bell rang in the office of
| Thomas Marlowe. editor OF the Daily
| Mail, at Carmelite House. 1.-The chief

asked.
Yes" replied Northcliffe grimly;
but isn't it true?'
Yes was the answer. And the
editorial blazed forth the next morn

Indignation, even ostraciSm. But the
Novthcliffe papers stuck to the task.
The result was the ministry of mu-
nitions.
When Northcliffc asked Marlowe the
question: Isn't it truc?' he disclosed
the one unfaiing test that he applies
to every cause or creed. Most London
editors, however. ask, What effect

THIS is EvERYbODY'S BUSINESS.

Our valued contemporary. the Chris
tan Science Monitor. says that nearly
| everybody in the United States. and
perhaps In some other countries, has
come In contact, at one time or am
other. with persons who are so very.
very busy with the affairs of other
people that they have no time to
attend properly TO their own business.
The business of Missoula should be
the personal business of every man
and woman here, but at times il is
sadly neglected because the people
have no time to attend to it. The out
look is not so hopeless. however. if
we may judge by the general response
to the appeal for funds for tho swim
ming tank. That work is far from
completed, but it indicates that it is
possible to arouse an interest in a
worthy cause.
The fight can be won if. everyone
will help. The swimming tank at
Billings cost about $4,000 and has
been a great success from the begin
ming. yielding u good revenue and ar
fording the greatest opportunity for
healthfuJ sport to the residents of
that cnterprising city.
Come to the front you loyal Mis-
souliahs! Let us hale the swimming
heart rcnding sorrow as the drowning
of little Maurice Llafet.

A few days since we discussed in

plea that every worker, no matter

energy would be enormous 1t would
go long way toward solving serious
domestic problems. We emphasize
the Importance of adopting this policy
rather than that Of hystcria for foolish
economy.

WORK DESCRIBED

at Auditorium.

Tho work and aims Of tho League to
Enforce Peace, which formally vas
launched on June -. 1915, we're dis
cussed last night by Hamilton Holt,
editor Of The Independent, in an ad-
dress At the auditorium. Following
MI. Hollis address, the large audience
adopted resolutions again pledging
to President Wilson and his advisers
in prosecuting the var and sanction
ing the work Of the league.
Mr.. Holt was introduced by Dean
Vernon p. eQuires. of h university.
who presided in place Of President F.
L. McVey. who vas summoned to
Washington.
At tho meeting in June Of 1915. held
At Independence Hall, Philadelphia,
the league adopted four principles:
First, that the nations in the league
agree to settle all ju%sticiable% questions
In m International tribunal.
Second, that all questions not JUS
ticiable be referred to q court Of con-
Third, that. before any nation goes
to war, it shall % forced to take it's
caSe to h council for consideration.
and that all other nations use their
force to prevent it from going to war
before the case 10 considered.
Fourth, that the nations shall meet
in . congress from time to time to
formulate and codify rules Of inter
national Az.
Nj. Holt emphasized the fact that
the league did not propose to enforce
the decisions Of the cancellation tri-
bunal. The defeated nation still has
the liberty Of going to war, II 1t feels
that that IL the only way open. Thus.
