nations for the maintenance of peace
 It will be some manner of body to which differing nations will perforce submit their differences for adjudicatons and which will be sufficiently powerful to induce acceptance of it's decisions when once they shall be made. Back of that must lie a tremendous police power capable of compelling the disputants to
 accept the decisions of the arbitrators. .It seems self-evident that world police must ka established to achieve | this purpose, no matter what the con stitution or plan of operation of tho peace league may be. The world police will be very largely naval If the United States is to participate in such move ment it must participate upon scale commensurate with it's wealth, intelii- 1 gence, great population and scientific attainments. Any lesser participation would be a shirking of its duty. con- | trbution less in cost, strength or any detail of perfection, than that of any other member of the league, would be undignifed and unworthy of nation so generously endowed as the United States"
 Referring to the possible failure of establishment of a league the secretary l said that America in protecting small nations and preserving the freedom O. | the seas, must have a navy as power | ful as that of any nation in the world Y | America is committed to the promise | of entering into a general and genuine plan for the reduction of armaments, concluded the secretary.
 If the outcome of the peace conference shall be that all nations will concur in this idea then the United states will gladly join, them in the worthy plan. But | if such an agreement can not be shortly arranged then we here in America must accept the burden which the failure au : tomatcaliy will thrust upon Us and meet It by adding such units to our navy as | will secure our own safety and aid pow erfully in protecting tho peace of the
 world"

 STARTS JANUARY II
Campaign Will Be Opened on Anniversary of Birth of
 Benjamin Franklin
By Assoclated Press

Washington, Dec 3O-The 1919 war savings campaign will be opened ac- lively by a nationwide celebration on January Y. the anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin. district war savings directors in conference here today were so informed by Harold Braddock. the new national director of the war savings movement.
 That day will be devoted particular ly, Mir. Braddock said, to the organiza- tion of thousands of war savings so- cieties in industries. offices. business houses, churches and communities, 10 and promote the sale of s2,000, 900, 900 worth of stamps during the year.
 Business men, educators and publi- cists from the twelve federal reserve districts who will have charge of 1919 war savings and thrift stamp cam paigns were welcomed to conference here today by Secretary Glass, with a request that they press their work on the basis that the war will not be over until the United States has met it's every commitment.
 The firing of guns has ceased and we are all of us confident this will not be renewed" Mir. Glass said ''Wo have every reason to believe the Presi- dent is going so to impress himself upon the European statesmen that his views will prevail and that we shall have a league of peace which will not endanger the happiness of future gen erations.
 "The war is not over so far as the treasury department is concerned Two billion dollars a month are being spent at the present time. Now is not the time to lay patriotism aside. It is not difficult during the delirium of war for the people to respond to the nations call but it Is more difficult after the cessation of hostilities.N

 That Is the reason why it seems to me that the things that are most of ten In our minds are the least signifi- cant I am not hopeful that the indi- vidual items of the settlement which we are about to attempt will be alto : gether satisfactory.
 One has only to apply his mind to any one of the questions of boundary and of altered sovereignty and of ra- cial aspirations to do something more than conjecture that there is no man, and no body of men. who know just how they ought to be settled, and yet if we are to make unsatisfactory set dement's we must see to 1t that they are rendered more and more satis- factory by the subsequent adjustments which. are made possible. We must providh the machinery for readJust- ments~in order that we have the ma chir.ery of goodwill and friendship.

MEANS OF FRIENDSHIP NEEDED
 "Friendship must have a machinery If l cannot correspond with you If 1 cannot learn your minds. if I cannot
 cooperate with you, I cannot be your friend, and~if the world is to remain 8 body of friends it must have the means of friendship, the means of con-
 stant friendly intercourse. the means for constant watchfulness over the common interests. That makes 1t noe essary to make some great effort t1 have with one another an easy and constant method of conference so that troubles may be taken when they are little and not allowed to grow. until
 they are big.
 T never thought I had a big difference
 with man that I did not find when l came into conference with him that after all 1t was rather a little differ ence, and that after we were frank with one another and did not stand too much
 upon that great enemy of mankind which Is called pride, we could come together Tt is the wish to come together that | Is more than half of the process It is a doctrine which ought to be easy oi | comprehension in great commercial cen | ter like this.

Third, you can produce food. Today
we are In greater need than ever be

The whole world Is looking to us for
help. We simply cannot fail those
who have nowhere else to turn for the
very necessities of life. Raise all you
can for your own consumption, and
thus lessen the demand on bigger
growers. Don't waste time and space
on lettuce, radishes and other such
non-essentials. Put in the things that
will count next winter-carrots, tur-
nips, beets, potatoes, and all the other
vegetables that can easily be stored
without canning. A few cents ex-
pended for seed now viii produce
many dollars worth of fresh green
stuff that possibly will keep you from

free booklets on raising everything
from a head of cabbage to a field OF
corn. and we should put every avail
