LODGE QUESTIONS
 FIVE PRINCIPLES
(Continued from First Page)

Slavic populations, which she has mercilesaly used in her wars, can never be used by her again.
 Demands Heavy IndemnitieS.
 Tn addition there must be heavy indemnities paid by Germany. In those indemnities, the United States must have it's proportional share, not only direct indemnity for it's ships destroyed by submarines and it's peo- pie murdered on the Lusitania and other vessels but a suitable restitu- ton, in part at least of the vast ex- penses forced upon us by Germany.
 Tt will be for the peace conference to determine what disposition should be made of the German colonies, but one thing is essential, and that is that they should not be returned to the tyrannical misgovernment of Ger many and that she should be deprived of those means for extending her commerce and building up military outposts in all parts of the world.
 Tt is the duty of the Allies and the United States to meet and deter mine what terms they will impose upon Germany and then, and not un- til then call in the represer tatives of Germany and impose the terms upon them.''
 Discusses League of Nations.
 Of the league of nations proposal, Senator Lodge said no definite plan has yet been put forth that would not cause indefinite controversy.
 "The attempt to form now a league of nations-and I mean an effective league, with power to en- force it's decrees," he said, "can tend only to embarrass the peace that we ought to make at once with Ger many. If it were successful and were to come before the senate, it might endanger the peace treaty and force amendments.
 Are we prepared to allow any as- sociation of nations by q majority vote to order the troops and ships of the United States to go to war? Un- less we are prepared to do so we are not prepared to join a league of na- tions which is going to enforce peace.'
 Tn urging postponement of the qdestion of the freedom of the seas, he said it was another undetined question, and declared that both Am erica and England would hesitate be- fore abandoning the belligerent right of blockade.
 Discussing secret diplomacy. the senator said this point of President Wilson's need not be incorporated in the peace treaty because secret treat ies never have and cannot exist in this country.
 Urging postponement of action on the matter of economic barriers, he said fits settlement is not in the least essential to ending the war by a peace with Germany"
 Must Restore Russia.
 All civilized nations, he urged must aid in restoration of Russia.
 I've have no present government in Russia" he said, with which anyone can deal intelligently. The thing that calls itself a government is no more fit to be dealt with in negotiation than a band of anthTOpoid apes. | There is nothing that seems to indi- cate that the Russian people have the power to extricate themselves. We have troops in Russia. Unfortunately they are so few that it Is greatly to be feared that they are wholly made Quate for the work they may have to do."

The Doctor In The Small
Town

I'VE have only three doctors here
that one could consult, and none Of
them understand such cases."
This sentence, or something like it,
appears rather frequently in letters
coming from readers who reside in the
country or small villages.
If there is any difference in the pro-
fessional ability of the doctor in the
small town and the doctor in the city,
have never been able to detect it. In
fact, speaking as a city doctor, my
Impression is that the doctor in the
small village averages a few points
higher than his city colleague ia abil-
ity, no matter whether the city man
is hospital or dispensary staff man
or not. The size of city does not de-
termine the professional ability of it's
doctors. l need not mention stereo-
typed illustrations of this fact. They
are so common that mention is un-
necessary.
A doctor in small village may have
the same schooling, the same medical
society affiliations, the same text
books, the same medical journals, in
fact every means his city colleagues
enjoy in keeping abreast of medical
progress. One can find fearful moss.
