Uncle Harry Discusses the Peace Conference

"Well, what shall we talk about thl.
evening, my young frieuds," said
Uncle Harry 10 Jimmy and Joe anc

Helen was the first 10 speak. "l

Uncle Hsrryg" she said.
There's no doubt about that" re-
piled Uncle Harry. Tho Peace Con-
ference is not only the biggest thing on
the horizon, as Helen puts IT, but Il will
probably rank as one Of the most i'm
portsnt events in the history OF the
world"
II heard Father say that the Peace
Conference will mark the opening OF a
new era for all the nations" said
Jimmy.
"He Is right" replied Uncle Harry.
Tho countries Of the world are stand
ing on the threshold Of new exist
cnce; many Of them have gone through
the fire Of war and In this fleroe flame
much Of the good and a great deal OF
tue bad has been burned away. They
now face the great problem OF taking
account Of Stock and OF building a new
world out OF what Is left, proflting by
the grim lessons which the war has
taught and attempting to adapt them
selves 10 many new and complicated
conditions"
Il glless the project OF a League Of
Nations will receive more attention
than any other, will IL not Uncle
lIarryg" asked Joe.
Yes" he replied. "As l said last
week, in our talk about the League OF
Nations, every country in the world
and the neutral as well as the warning
nations will be represented at the Con

AT the same time" continued Uncle
Harry, all intelligent and serious

many knotty problems that are sure 10

basis for League Of Nations, Inas-
much as the Peace Conference will be

that all scores viii be 'raked up as the
