believe such CUFF, but the gall re-
quired to spring it is certainly par
excellence.
The Chamber of Commerce is al
right. is proposing to do many good
things. but it mustn't get the idea
that it is the only pebble on the
beach. 1t was the fact that a bunch
Of fellows have been faithfully

what counts in the military line

was one of the personally conducted
propositions Of the editor of the RuSk
County Journal. 1t had been done in
other cities. The editor took upon
himself the burden of holding the
correspondence with the adjutant gen
erals office at Madison. asking on be-
half of the men who met and organ
lied the Home Guard company for
recognition. Bat it seemed that the
office there did not realize what a
great man was writing and so in the
end he achieved nothing
But in spite of the lack of the gay
and genial presence Of the editor of
the RuSk County Journal some 40 men
have met regularly on drill nights
and gone ahead without recognition
Then it was that County Agent House
holder. one of the most enthusiastic of
the members. discovered that there
was to be meeting of delegates of
the recognized Home Guard compan-

invitation extended to the Ladysmith
group But Mr.. Householder is al

The advance on the German lines of
these invincible engines of destruction

Through these motion pictures of

in the pictures are all Knight motored

pensation man will become once more
the natural prey, body and goods, of
the better armed neighbor. Women
will be the mere instrument for con-

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
One of Most Hopeful 0mens of
Formation Is Backing
of the U. S.
COULD CURB GERMANY

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 19.-In the house Of
lords today Lord Parmoor moved a
resolution approving the principle OF
the league of nations and the constitu-
tton of a tribunal whose orders should
be enforceable by adequate sanction.
In speaking on this subject Lord
Lansdowne said that two essentials
were requisite for a league of nations.
The first was. in his view, that it must
be open to all and comprise all the
important powers, while the second was
that it should be armed with executive
powers sufficient to secure unquestion-
able obedience to it's decisions.
Power Is Necessary.
Lord Lansdowne said he believed that
if the league was able to apply pres
sure in different shapes it could guar
antee peace in the civilized world, or
at least secure delay for discussion
and conciliation which would in many
cases effectually avoid the threatened
dangers. He believed the omens were
entirely favorable to the formation OF
such a league. one of the most hope
full omens being the interest taken in
adhesion the consummation of the idea
would be beyond reach.
Considering Americas great world
trade, he said. there was no country
which could use the economic weapon
so effectually.

FOLKSTONE, England. February 16.
Nothing else under heaven matters
today except that the war shall go on
to victory" declared Rudyard Kipling
here in a striking and picturesque
speech in advocacy Of war savings
''The money we loan to the government
helps to set our land and our world
Free" continued Mr.. Kipling. "Our
security for our loan is not only the
whole Of the British empire, but also
the whole of civilization, which has
pooled it's resources in men, money and
material to carry on this war to vic
tory.
What is the personal aspect Of the
case for you and me? We are fighting
for our lives, the lives Of every man,
woman and child here and everywhere
else.
1--WE are fighting that we may not be
herded into actual slavery, such as the
Germans have established by force of
their arms in large parts of Europe.
I'VE are fighting against eighteen
hours day forced labor, under lash or
at the point of the bayonet. with a
dogs death and a dogs burial at the
end of it.
I'VE are fighting that men, women
and children may not be tortured,
burned and mutilated in the public
streets. as has happened in this town
and in hundreds of others. And we
will go on fighting till the race which
has done these things is in no position
to continue or repeat its offense
eff for any reason whatever we fall
short of victory-and there is no half
way house between victory and de-
feat-what happens to US? This:
every decency upon which civilization
has been so anxiously built up will
go-will be washed out because it will
have been proved unable to endure.

bottom is what the Hun fights against

WANTS OFFICERS TO AID
IN CHECK ON DESER00NS
Chief of Staff Would Impress Upon
Them Their Duty to Assist
All Young Soldiers.

Officials of the War Department are
strongly impressed with the view that
a grave duty rests on all officers of the
Army. particularly on company COM
manders, with reference to the neces-
sity of decreasing the number of de-
sertions from the ranks.
In a general order on the subject the
chief of staff says:
1T is clearly the duty of officers to
impress upon the young soldiers lessons
of patriotism and loyalty, to teach them
the necessity of obedience and military
discipline, and, above all, to impress
upon them the gravity Of the offense of
desertion. These are lessons that should
be repeated again and again. The diff
ference in the status of a soldier as
compared with that of civilian should
be carefully explained.
Officers Enjoined to Take Interest.
1.-THE articles of war should not only
be read to the enlisted men, but they
should be explained and their purpose
laid before the young soldier in such
a way as to make him understand that
in becoming a soldier he has subjected
himself to new control and has as
sumed obligations of service that did
not rest upon him in his capacity as a
civilian. officers should be willing to
hear the complaints of enlisted men.
They should take an interest in their
company life and endeavor on all occa-
sions to remove the existence of those
causes which make for dissa tisfa ction
and desertion.
IF the ideas here advanced could be
followed throughout the service un-
doubted1y desertion would be iessened

ties as courts-martial may adjudxe' in
such cases as are brought to trial. Will.

Admission of Central Powers.

Expressing agreement with President
Wilson's idea that it might be neces-
sary to exclude Germany from free
economic intercourse, if she continues
to disturb the peace, Lord Lansdowne
discussed the admission of the central
powers to the league. Regarding the
suggested impossibility of admitting
Germany because she could not be
trusted, he said nobody proposed to
rely upon the German pledge or the
German signature. The essence OF the
proposal was that the powers admitted
to partnership would. to some extent;
part with their sovereign rights and
enter into a compact to conform TO
whatever code of international law
was laid down by the league itself.
If the league. he argued, was able
to pronounce sentence of lnternatlonai
outlawry, there would be material
guarantee of the maintenance of peace
unlike anything the world hitherto had
been able to conceive.
Europe's Greatest Anarchist.
Lord Lansdowne believed that had a
league of nations existed in 1914. there
would have been far greater opportuni-
ties for peacemakers. He desired to
see the central powers included, be-
cause Germany always had been the
great anarchist of Europe. always had
played for her own ends and always
had taken short cuts and flouted the
idea of a peaceful discussion.
If Germany could be yoked in the har-
ness of an organization of this kind.
he contended, more would be done to
get rid of Prussian militarism than by
other conceivable means. Quite apart
from this proposal, however, there must
be a settlement of the outstanding diff
fculties before the war was brought
to an end.
II would not consent to a league of
nations as substitute for satisfac-
tory territorial settlement" said LanS-
downe.
such a settlement is necessary as a
preliminary to the creation of a league
OF patience.
Territorial Arrangement.
"a settlement would not be complete
without an arrangement of territorial
claims and the machinery to main
| tain future peace"
| Admitting the enormous difficulties
of the problem. Lord Lansdowne said
| it would be a mistake. for instance
| TO link the question of disarmament
! too closely with the question of Z
| league of nations. At the same time
| he added, the league would have an
| important reaction on the armament
| question because the democracies OF
| tnc WOTln were SICK OIL tHe DurOGT
| of heavy armament. Therefore, he
| believed, disarmament would follow
| almost automatically.
| Pleading earnestly for a league OF
| nations as means for saving fu-
| ture generations from recurrence
| of present trouble, Lord LansdoWne
| maintained that no crushing of the en-
| emy could be regarded as final
| crushing: that a success in the field
| would be no guarantee of securing
| Il world peace. From the present ills
| there was only one way. he said, to
| attain this. namely. by league OF
| nations, which was an outline of the
| real promised land and which he hoped
! would be attained.
! The debate was adjourned, but it is
| expected to be resumed tomorrow by
| Carl CurZon of kedleston, govern
| ment leader of the house of lords
