"yust Tbis"-and Nothing More.

AT last" must have been in the
pectant nearer when President VIII
son, at the Sorbonne on Saturday,
pronounced the following words as the
opening phrase of new paragraph in
his eloquent address accepting the de-
gree worthily conferred upon him by
the University of Paris:
my conception OF League of Ma
tlons is Just this"
There is nothing more ardently de-
sired at this time by the Government
and the people of the United States.
and by the Governments and peoples
Of other nations associated with us
in the business of concluding peace.
than an exact definition of President
WILSON'S conception Of League of
Nations. He has told us over and
over again what he hopes that league
will do for the future peace, of the
world. He has made it the chief
factor in the business of concluding
peace. He has established it as the
pivot the kingpin, of his Fourteen
Points. But he has never told the
Congress, or told the Senate, his part
ner in the making of treaties, or told
the Senate's Committee on Foreign
Relations, or told the American peo-
pie in whose name he Is continually
speaking to Europe, or, so far as Is
known, told any living creature here
or abroad just what that conception
is. For all practical purposes Of d.
plomacy and policy his League of Ma
tons has remained until now an iri-
descent dream ratherthan a concrete
product of craftsmanship.
Therefore 1t must have seemed that
the time for definite exposition had
come at last when President WILSON
began a new paragraph by saying:
my conception of League Of Ma
lions is just this"
The long dash printed above IS part
of the official report of the Presidents
speech. 1t separated the promise
from the fulfilment. 1t introduced or
purported TO introduce the delayed
and much desired explanation Of just
what his conception of n League of
Nations is. And after the long dash
came this dash of cold water on the
expectations legitimately aroused by
the preamble of promise:
"just this-that It shall operate as the
organized moral force of men through
out the world, and that whenever or
wherever wrong and aggression are
planned or contemplated. this searching
light OF conscience will be turned upon
Them and men everywhere will ask
What are the purposes that you hold in
your heart against the fortunes Of the
world?'-
Thus the promise OF exact defini-
ton Of that which President WILSON
is proposing IN the name of the Gov
eminent and people Of the United
States was dlssipated again at the
Sorbonne, as always before into the
nebulous vapor of vague and some
what sentimental generalities. In
stead Of telling the peoples just what
his conception of League Of Ma
lions is, he gave them nothing more
than an apocalyptic vision of what he
hoped his unrevealed conception was
10 do for the world.
!, Do we go too far when we say, with
due respect for the Presidential office
that this is-unsatlsfying?

THE LINCOLN YOUTHS
 CHAUTAUQUA

Dear Girls and Boys:
 Did you know that you are going to have a Chautauqua all your own this year? The Junior Supervisor is coming to stay with you for a whole week before the adult Chautauqua starts. You will play games, run races, and go on hikes, and on the fifth night you will have big parade and play festival Then the super visor is going to tell you some fine stories and you will have such good time. A college man with the tent crew will give special attention to the boys athletics during the regular Chautauqua week.
 You are going to be on the program of the big Chautauqua just think of that! We are giving play this year called "Columbia's Awakening" and we want all the boys and girls in your town to take part. It is patriotic play especially emphasizing Thrift. Good Fairy Thrift, Martha and George Washington, Uncle Sam and Miss Go lumbia and many others characters will be represented by the young peo- pie of your community.
 This is your play and will be given the opening night of the adult Chau- tauqua. The Junior Supervisor will tell you all about it when she arrives and will help you make big success of 1t. You will have a chance to sell season tickets and the supervisor will cooperate with you in putting on campaign for the sale of Thrift Stamps.
 The Lincoln Youths Chautauqua has been growing more popular each year and now you can prove to your fathers and mothers that you can make sue cess not only of your Chautauqua, but help them make success of theirs, and at the same time be doing your bit, every one of you, for Uncle Sam in helping Win the War. You have wonderful opportunity and know I am going to be proud of the success achieved by you and your Junior Su- pervisor.
 Youths season tickets to 15 years, inclusive, will be $1.00 as heretofore. Buy your ticket early and urge your parents and friends to do the same. Ask the supervisor to tell you how you can earn the money to buy your own ticket. She will be glad to help you in every way possible.
 Now, remember, you are going to have two full weeks of good times and I want you to be right on hand the day your supervisor arrives so as to not miss anything; meet her at the train if you possibly can and give her royal welcome. Show her that you live in live town and that you boys and girls are wide awake. If you want to know anything more about your Chautauqua I will be glad to have you write me.
 Yours for a big success,
 MINNIE D. GORDON, Director of Lincoln Youths Chautau- qua.
