How I Can Best Serve My Country
in Time Of War.

(By Grace Link, of the eighth grade)
Now honorable judges, as we, the
United States, have entered into this
worldwide war it is very necessary
for every n of US to do our part
towards helping our country, both
allies and the people living at home.
Many people in Belgium and Greece
are starving to death, and now If we
start in time we ear save our coun-
try from starvation.
1t is the great question of to-day,
where are we to get enough supplies
for the allies and people at home.
Why shouldn't we answer this cues
ton by planting all the food stuff we
can, along with cotton to make clothes

MEMBERSHIP IN WORLDS PEACE

 Done.
TAFT GIVES OPINION

NEW YORK, Jan. iS - For the United States to join 9 league Of nations to enforce world peace after the present European war would IH mo wise be iaOparlzing Go Che Mon. roe Doctrine-ce certainly not to any greater extent than it already has been ieopardlzed, by some thirty.odd treaties" was the view expressed here last night in a formal state mont issuel by the League to En- force Peace, of which former Presi. dent Taft ig the lead.
 "The fact is that since I913,' the statement says, the United States has become 9 party to treaties with France, Great Britain Russia and other European and South and Cen ral American states, in which the high contracting parties agree that all disputes between ;hem. of every nature whatsueveI, tO the settlement of which previous arbitration treaties or agreements do not apply in shen terms or are not applied in fact shall, when diplomatic methods of ad- justment have failed be referred for investigation and report to an inter national commission. and they agree not 10 declare war or begin hostili- ties during such investigations and before Q report is submitted. The report snail be presented in the maximum period ol one year These treaties have stll some time to run.
 Plainly therefore, the United States is already bound to submit disputes, even involving the Monroe Doctrine, to body which would meet the requirements of the plat form os the League to Enforce Peace"
