The furthest point reached by the

This counter attack probably was
only rear guard action covering
the retirement of the French troops
operating slightly to the north in the
region of Vierzy and Chaudun.
The Germans have every reason
to push the. attack in this sector,
especially in the neighborhood of
Favcrolles and Troesnes, as these
towns are not only astride the rail
way running along the Ourcq valley,
but outfank q formidable ridge run

the northern end Of the Forest of

some five miles away in the direc-
ton of Villers- Cotterets. A further
continuance of this movement would
also threaten to turn the important
base of Compiegne.
Roughly, the Germans have
advanced until their line runs,
With several bends, from Chateau
Thierry TO Noyon, on which
town the line pivots. The Ger
mans are pressing attacks at
three points on this line-in the cen
tire, toward Nillers-Cotter and at
the southernmost end. There they
have taken the heights west Of
Chateau Thierry. Near the Disc
desperate fighting has taken place
at the northern outskirts of Bois de
Carlepont and Moulin-sous-T -Touvent.
The German thrust now consti-
tutes formidable frontal attack on
Paris from the Disc to the Marne,
and, as the battle line advances, it
is not improbable that the front may
also loosen north Of the Disc toward
Montdidier.
Foch Content to Wait
Foch's plans for countering this
terrific dash of the Crown Prince
for the French capital are not
known, but the probability is that he
will try to do nothing more for the
present than keep the situation in
hand.

ALEACUE
OF NATIONS
By James A. Langton


At the present time the senate of
the United States is debating the
question of league of nations.
have noted in previous article some
OF the arguments Of Senator Reed
OF Missouri in opposition to such a
league.
1t appears from the press dis
patches of December that Senator
Borah Is also opposed to league of
nations to enforce peace.
Senator Reed states that England
will not accept in good faith league
of nations. In this connection the
Associated Press reports of Deem
Der 6 quotes Arthur ]. Balford, sec
rotary Of state for foreign affairs, as
follows: II think a league of nations
a vital necessity if this war is to pro-
duce all the good we expect to come
out Of 1t. The United States would
have to bear large share in the
work it involves. l believe league
of nations will be required to sup
erintend and control not only the
criminal ambitions of great auto
cracies, but also to prevent any rash
and inconsiderate countries from 60
ing to war. Holding this view,
regard league Of nations the great
est work of the congress-"
1t would seem from the above that
there can be no doubt as to Mr.. Bal
tours sentiments on this important
question. He is evidently in entire
accord with President Wilson in re-
garding this as the most. important
and far-reaching work of the peace
congress.
1t must be borne in mind that the
United States is already member of
league of nations into which it was
driven in defense Of the freedom of
the seas and in preservation of in
ternational law. This league should
be made permanent at the peace
table. Since the entrance of the
United States into the great struggle

! we have been told again and again
that we were fighting for American
ideals-"for democracy, for the
| rights of those who submit to au-
| thority to have voice in their own
governments, for the rights and lib.
critics Of small nations, for a uni
Ifversal dominion of right by such a
contract Of free people as shall bring
peace and safety to all nations and
make the world itself at last free -
These ideals were in measure, al
least, accepted and adopted by the
allies as expressing likewise their
purpose, and upon this basis the
enemy countries sought the armistice
now prevailing. The enunciation and
the well-nigh universal acceptance OF
these principles unquestionably imply
some form of league of nations to
enforce international law and to
cause the world to grow into a
democracy Of nations.
1t must be clear to every thinking
man that a new international order
of some sort must be established. So
long as war desolates the land we
must believe that the world is ruled
in wrong spirit and that change
of spirit must come if civilization is
to endure.
1t is the paramount duty of every
good American to endeavor to be
clear in his own mind as to the kind
of world he thinks good and the kind
of change he thinks desirable. The
ultimate power of those whose
thought is vital and unselfish is in
the end irresistible. Are we then go
ing to abolish the old order Of
things? Are we going to get out Of
the insecurity in which the world
has been so long fioundering? Are
we going to take advantage of the
present glorious opportunity to make
war thing of the past? At the pre-
sent moment men in all parts of the
world are asking themselves these
questions.
In speech delivered November
13, 1918, Lord George said: Are we
to lapse back into the old national
rivalries, animosities, and competi-
tive ornaments, or are we to initiate
the reign on earth of the Prince of
Peace! we snail go to the peace
conference to guarantee that league
Of nations is reality"
Unless our standards of civiliza-
ton and our powers of constructive
thought are to be permanently low
cred and perhaps ultimately lost, the
majority of civilized men must
sooner or later rebel against the
brutality and futile destruction of
modern war. This rebellion must
crystalline into such action that the
chances of war shall at least be re-
duced to a minimum. Aggressive
war, such as Germany waged, would
not be undertaken by any nation
whose chances of success were very
small. Besides the instructive ele-
ments in the war fever, there is al
ways present a certain amount. of
quasi-rational calculation and what

is euphemistica1ly called Thought. >
For this reason the war fever seldom
seizes nation unless that nation be-
lieves that it will be victorious.
! firmly believe that the pea ,e
loving nations Of the earth are tOday
sufficiently strong to be capable OF
defeating the nations whose Vial il
is to wage aggressive war. II this be
true, the peace loving nations should
form an alliance and make a Solemn
agreement to fight Jointly against
any nation which refuses to submit
its claims to an international council
There will have to be in the world
only one army and one navy before
there will be any reason to think
that wars have ceased. The civil
state and the military state should
be different for the two functions
have little necessary connection. II
there were an international army
and navy there would have to be
some internationl authority to SET
them in motion, but this authority
need never concern itself with any
| of the internal affairs of national
states. Under this regime it would
only be necessary for each great ma
ton to subdue some of it's pride and
yield Somewhat of its sovereignty to
the common concern for the common
good.
AS matter of fact the civil and
the military state are often different
In practice and the results contem-
plated In military worldfederation
are in a measure already in opera
ton. The South American republics
are sovereign for all purposes ex-
cept their relations with Europe, in
regard to which they are subject to
the United States. The Monroe doc
trine makes these republics, so far
as their dealings with Europe are
concerned, dependant upon the army
and navy Of the United States. All
self-governing dominions are Deepen
dent upon the mother countries for
military protection. Australia and
Japan would probably long since
have been at each others Threats
were it not for the fact that both de-
pend for their liberties upon the
British navy. In the case of an al
lance there is complete autonomy of
the separate allied countries to-
gether with what is practically a
combination OF their military forces
into single force.
1t is urged by some that those who
advocate world-federation are dream
ers, believers in Utopias. Search the
pages of history and you will find
that it is this class of men and wo-
men, who have contributed most
largely to the TRANSPORTATION of hui
mainly. We do not believe, however,
in Utopias. AS hitherto constructed
Utopias have always been intoler-
ably dull and lacking in vitality. The
spirit of contest is SO strong in us
that we would rather live in this
world with all its horrors of war
than in Platis republic or among
Swift's Houyhuhnms.
Senator Reed of Missouri says that
a league to enforce peace is fools
dream" 1t will be remembered that
when the American republic came
into being the people of the old world
did not believe that it would last.
The autocrats of Europe ridiculed
the idea of republic. Republics
had always persisted and the Ameri-
can republic was to be no exception.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1918-12-17

Daniel Webster had some doubts on
the subject, for he once declared
that If we failed as a self-governing
people the experiment would never
again be tried. We did not fail, and
our democracy is no longer an expert
ment. 1t proved to be times burst
of dawn" Today America is the
"hope of the world and the torch
of American liberty is lighting the
path of justice and peace for the feet
of cropping humanity. The highest
duty of the present hour is to keep
America faithful to her ideals and
in this crisis of the worlds need to
preserve the soul of America invio-
late. This duty transcends the sell
FISH interest of the American people
themselves, for there would be no
purpose in preserving these ideals
did we not transmit them to the
world America" said the great
Belgian statesman Henri La Fontaine
in an address in Baltimore in 1911,
"has to liberate Europe from it's
burdens, it's prejudices, it's hatreds.
1t is your duty, it Is your highest
duty, to reconsile outside your bor-
ders the people you have reconciled
within your borders For indeed the
American people is the elect people
which can alone transform all the
peoples of the earth into a family of
nations, brotherhood of man."
When was there such an oppor-
tunity to fulfil this duty as at the
present hour? When will the peo-
pie of the earth be more ready to &C
cept than at this moment when they
have laid down their blood stained
arms and when they seek the ways of
peace?
Tens Of thousands of missionaries
should now go out from America
into the stricken lands to spread the
tidings Of democracy, fraternity,
peace, love and human brotherhood.
These ideals are the peculiar pos
session of the American people.
They are spiritual in essence and
therefore eternal. So long as we
hold them fast American shall en-
dure.
How long, good angel" asks the
poet Sidney Lanier, in his centen-
NAL cantata, "shall beloved America
endure?" The answer comes:
Long as thin art shall love true love,
Long as they science truth shall
know,
Long as thy eagle harms no dove,
Long as thySlaw by law shall grow,
Long as thy God is God above,
Thy brother every man below,
So long, dear land Of all my love,
Thy name shall shine, thy fame shall
grow.
In another article l shall outline
the part that woman is likely to play
in the new order of things and some
of the changes that must come into
our educational system.

war there have been drives and
drives -LibertyBond, Red Cross,
etc, etc, And lastly, the United
War Work campaign just closed.
In practically all of these Vashon
has exceeded its quota. This
sounds well and in fact is good.
The only regrettable feature is
that the burden has moi rested
equally upon the shoulders OF all
But, it seems that some individu-
ais always must needs be driven
TO their duty, hence the necessity
of drives. If all were equally pat
riotic and fully awake a simple an
nouncement of a government need
designating places where pay
ment could be made-would have
been all that was necessary, thus
saving drive committees and all
the other elaborate machinery
which it has been necessary to de-
wise in order to procure funds for
carrying on the various war activ-
tiles.
The country as a whole has re-
sponded nobly 10 the demands of
the government, and Vashon has
been fully up to the average; but
1t has been accomplished here al
least we know by some giving
much more than their pro rata,
while some gave less than their
share and others nothing at all.
In the campaign just closed 272
persons subscribed $736.75 i'll the

everything north of the telephone

made up by the Council of Patri-

prises approximately one-half the
area of the island and probably
has a population of more than
1000. All this goes to prove the
statement already made, that the
burden was not equally shared,
