Abstract of Address by DIR. George
Nasmyth at Happy Canyon June II.
THE vital question at the heart of
this great tragedy said DR.. Nasmyth.
"ls this: What kind of world are
we going to have after the War;"
"Is it to be the old world of secret
diplomacy. the Balance of Power and
the system of international anarchy
on the principal Of Every Nation for
Itself, and the devil take the hind
most?' This is what an inconclusive
peace would mean.--a return to the
status quo ante bellum.
'If the Allies win. and they must
win the war they are determined to
set up a new world order. This is the
great moral aim for which the war is
being fought, in order TO make It Inn
possible for such a war ever to occur
again.
"The means by which this will be
accomplished is the establishment of
a League OF Nations with World
Court, a World Congress an Interna-
tional Council of Cancellation and an
international Police Force to protect
the small nations as well as the great
againsvsSlse danger of aggression.
"The League of Nations is the
Palace of Humanity which President
Wilson is planning as the central
building in his great program for the
reconstruction of the world. The
other buildings are the principles
which he has proclaimed to all man
kind as the objects for which this war
Is being fought. They are:
/. Open. democratic diplomacy.
2. Freedom of the seas to all nations
who obey intentional law.
3. Removal of economic barriers
and eaualIty of trade conditions ampng
nations Joining the League to maintain
peace.
4. Disarmament to lowest point
consistent with domestic safety.
8. New colonial policies based on

Committee of the Council of
National Defense, to be worn
instead of mourning by Ameri-
can women who have lost men,

vice of the country. This ac-
ton of the committee at this
time is prompted by a feeling
on their part that we should
determine beforehand the at
titude we are to take toward
the inevitably growing death
roll of the defenders of our
country. The wearing of such
insignia will, they feel, express
better than mourning the feel

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Tremen-
duous orders for war materials have
been received from General Persh-

in the European situation which have
created a situation which requires

THEIR CLOTHING READY

No EP. OLNEY, of Massa-
N, chusetts, during the de-
bate on the army appro-
priation bill, made this pleas
ing revelation to the house:
Questions naturally arise in
our minds with respect to the
clothing of the army. Are all
men now in the service fully
equipped? The latest from the
'Quartermaster department is
that they are fully equipped.
Are they fully equipped as they
go into the service? They are
fully equipped as they have
gone into the service, and there
is a reserve supply for every
soldier in uniform today of
from two to three months. 1t
may interest the house to know
that provisions have been made
at all of the cantonments to
provide clothing for 233,000
men going into the canton
mentS between now and the
first of July and a full outfit
is now awaiting the men at the
camps.
"Some of these items may
interest the house, such as
shoes. The total purchases to
May, 1918, of field shoes were
13,863,O0O pairs; marching
shoes, 11,31O,000 pairs. Of
the original orders for 21,000,-
900 pairs of shoes, 18,000,000
pairs of shoes have been de-
iliyered.
Senator Johnson disgraces
his own intelligence with his
laments about our turning to
autocracy because General
Wood was not sent to France.
The explanation has been
made that Wood was not sent
abroad because General Per-
shing, our commander over
there did not want him. That
should be sufficient. If oup|
commander in France had to
select his generals with a view
to pleasing all political factions
and spouters in congress we
would be in a sad way indeed.

RNO Mrs. J. A. Yeates belongs the
 credit of originating the idea in
 0 Birmingham of filing for future reference the records of our soldier men from Jefferson county, a movement which is being carried on in conjunction with the national council of defense and the home service of the Red Cross.
 When the home service of the Red Cross took over the work of looking after tbe families of the soldiers, it occurred to Mrs. Yeates that our soldiers who had no families were entitled to looking after as well as the others, so she gatn~ cred together some facts also some ldea of how she would proceed to organize the movement and in less time than it taxes to tell it her plans and specifications were -Sli formulated.
 Mrs. Yeates has been ably assisted by Mrs. J. 0. Thompson in the york of keep ing the records of our J efferson county soldiers.

Another View of

He has been recreant to the trust committed to him by the peo- pie of this great district in wilfully mi$representing their spirit, and there- l by subjecting us to the ignominy and scorn of thousands of our fellow eoun- trNmen, who supposed that he em-
 bodied the sentiment prevailing in this district with reference to winning the war
