ferent displays and exhibits will be
strikingly effective.
Educators all over the state are in
tensely interested in the Education
building, as they realize that Missis-
sippi's greatest strides during the past
dozen years has been along education
al lines, the last session of the legis-
lature having created an illiteracy
commission, which is now hard at
work to wipe out adult illiteracy in
the state. It is doing most effective
word toward that end.
Sections in the building will be de-
voted to the different state institu-
tions, including the Deaf and Dumb,
and Blind Institute, where exhibits of
many of the students of these institu-
tions will be shown.
Every man, woman and child in the
state in the least bit interested in ed
ucational matters very probably will
be keenly awake to the Importance Of

educational lines in past, and the up
to date methods now employed which

WORLD COMING
Grand Alliance of America With Al
lies of Europe Gives Rise to Such {
Hopes Says Lippmann.
(By Associated Press)

Philadelphia, Pa, April 2O-The
"grand alliance" between the United
States and the democracies of Europe
against autocratic aggression as prac-
ticed by Germany gives rise to the
hope that the war will lead to a Fed
Grafton of the World, in the opinion
of Walter Lippmann, of New York,
Associate Editor of the New Repub-
lic," expressed today in an address
on "America's Relations to the World
Conflict" before the American Acad-
envy of Political and Social Science.
Il know it sounds a little old-fash-
Toned to S that phrase, the FEEDER
alton Of the World" said Mr.. Lipp-
mann, because we have used it so
long in empty rhetoric. But no other
idea is big enough to describe the al
lance. 1t is no longer an offensive
military agreement among diplomats.
1t is growing into a union Of people
determined to end forever that intri-
guing, adventurous nationalism which
has torn the world for three centur-
les.
"The war is dissolving into a stu.
pendous revolution. A few months
ago we still argued about the Bagdad
corridor, strategic frontiers, colonies.
These were the stakes of the diplo-
mats war. The whole prospective is
changed today by the revolution in
Russia and the intervention of Amer
lea. The scale of values is trans
formed, for the democracies are I'M
loosed.
I'VE are at war to defeat the Ger
man government, to destroy its pres
tige, to deny its conquests, and to
throw it back at last into the arms of
the German people, marked and dis
credited as the author of their mis-
cries. 1t is for them to make the final
settlement with it.
"We can win nothing from this war
unless it eliminates in a union of
liberal peoples pledged to cooperate
in the settlement of all outstanding
questions, sworn to turn against the
aggressor, determined to erect a lar
ger and more modern system of in
ternational law upon a federation of
the world. That is what we are fight
ing for at this moment, on the ocean,
in the shipyard and in the factory; |
later, perhaps in France and Belgium,
ultimately at the council of peace"
