Thrift Stamps Popular
In Philippine Islands

Manila, p. Thrift stamps are
very popular in the Philippines, the
first consignment having been bought
up within two days of its arrival in
the islands. The majority of purchas-
ers bought in small amounts, usually
from 81 to $1S worth, and many took
this means of starting savings ac-
counts for their children. Judging
from the many inquiries in regard to
thrift stamps there is no doubt that
the $4,000 consignment now on it's
way to the islands and the $4,000 lot
which will follow that will easily be
disposed of. Plans are now on foot
to extend the campaign to the
provinces.

GREAT POWER IDEA MUST BE

LONDON. Dee. 4.-"Thc Great Pow fees must be done away with if the proposed League Of Nations k to be d success. II. C. Wells, the novelist and publici,t, told d larg" audience at the American officers club.
 A League of Nations, he said. was in accord with human nature and the spirit of nationality. and it was not opposed even to what Americans would call the king business" But the great power idea would have to be exercised ii mankind was not to go down in bloodshed and ruin,
 The great power idea, he explained was that each state was in conflict with all other states, and it absolutely opposed the idea Of the common wei fare of man.
 Tt was only little more active in Berlin" he asserted. than in the other capitals of Europe Every foreign of, flee, war office and admiralty has been Oi iBdHILtu tp Cal bul lHt great power dreams.
 Foreign offices are too secretive and advantage instruments and too antiQuated for the difficult tash of dealing fairly with all other nations under q League of Nations.
 The United States is in different position. It is d republic. with pres ident capable of speaking plainly to the peoples of the earth in d manner which is enough to produce an cpl demic of epilepsy in European foreign offices"
 A League of Nations would have to substitute, he said. some sort of cen tral control in which diplomacy would have to be pooled and represent the whole of mankind. If this was left to the present foreign offices to arrange, he contended, it would be asking them to arrange for their own extinction.
