Sees League as Necessity.

We must feel that in the call to
common humanity there are other
purposes besides the prevention of
war, for which league of nations is
a sheer practical necessity One of
the first steps must be to create an or
sanization against hunger. and ration
ali the countries where disaster
threatens.
The existing interallied machinery
which is the nucleus of league of
nations, probably will undertake this
task. In the period of reconstruction
after the war all countries, allied.
neutral and enemy. will have to be ra-
toned for certain raw materials. Here
again international machinery is
necessary. We thus are making
straight for q league of nations
charged with the performance of
these interna tional functions.
Then as regards the primary object
of the league, from Finland to Con-
stantinople the map will be covered
with small nations divided by pro-
found antipathies and most of them
with minorities conducive to internal
weakness We may, therefore, eS-
pect more dangers of war in Europe
han in the past. Therefore it is inn
perative that We create an interna-
tional organization to keep the peace.

singing difficult for the average crowd. Yet its appeal has increased through century to the point where it would be difficult to displace it in the affections of the American peo- pie. The words, written under the stress of strong patriotic emotion, ex- press sentiments that are the bull wark of the nations pride
 Key, just before he wrote "The Star Spangled Banner" had been appoint ed an emissary from the town of Marlborough in Maryland to the Brit fsh commander to procure the release of captured Marlborough physician. His mission was successful, but Key was detained a few days un- til the enemy could launch the attack on Baltimore. From the deck of the British vessel, he watched shot and shell rain on tie ramparts of Fort McHenry through the day and night, and in the poem he expresses his ella tion when he saw the flag still way ing at dawn.
 An effective musical vehicle for the poem was found in the jovial old British song, "Anacreon in Heaven" ," the authorship of which is in con- troversy Dr. Samuel Arnold popular ly is believed to have composed Ana creon,' and the resolution now be- fore Congress provides that the music as written by him shall be used. Anacreon, to whom the song was in- scribed, has been characterized as one of Greece's most brilliant, but bibulous Lyric poets His statue, erected in Athens after his death, re. presented him in a state of vinous hi. larity.

NATIONAL HYMN ID BE ADOPTED
 BY CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, May s. - Alter nearly century and a half of delay the United States seems about to ac- quire national anthem.
 "The Star Spangled Banner" would be adopted as the officially recogniz- ed hymn of the republic under re- solution by Representative McFadden of Pennsylvania, now pending in the House. Little, if any, opposition is expected.
 Army and navy regulations long have designated the Star Spangled Banner" as the official anthem and provide that officers and men shall stand at attention while it is being played or sung, but the country at large has been left to it's own tastes in the matter of selecting an appro- priate hymn for patriotic occasions Thus '"The Star Spangled Banner" has been widely accepted by the American public as the representa- tive hymn of the nation and patriotic , societies for many years have been l agitating for it's official adoption. Every land has a national anthem identified inseparably with it's life. The sonorous strains of the Marsail- laise breathe the indomitable spirit, the achievements and the aspirations of France. While going down in Yes- sells, England's sons have sung #God Save the King" or Rule Brittania," ," and even the iron hand of Germany in Belgium has been unable to silence entirely the melody of "BrabancOnne. 9 Italians sing Garibaldi's hymn, while the Irish and Scotch have a veritable treasure trove of stirring war songs.
 Attempts to find suitable national air for the United States have not been few. Hundreds, perhaps thou sands, of melodies have been written in an effort to meet the demand. Yet, the inspired lines written by Francis Scott Key, as while a prisoner on board British frigate, he watched the unsuccessful bombardment of Fort McHenry, near Baltimore, in 1874, are widely regarded as nearer ttan any other to meeting the ap- Yeal.
 America jas a powerful npid on the people of this country, but is identical with that of Englands God Save the King" Yankee DoodI2," although sung through all the na- | tion's wars, is thought too light, and in the South, at least, is unfortunate- ly believed to carry note of sec | tionalism.
 The majestic Battle Hymn of the Republic" musicians claim, falls short of the standard, while "The Red, White and Blue" Rally Round the Flag" and others also are said to be unsuitable. Dixie" although carry. ing powerful emotional appeal is acknowledged to be peculiarly the song of the South.
