TIME war now happily brought to a close has
been above all q war to end war, but in
order to ensure the fruits of victory and to
prevent the recurrence OF such a, catastrophe
there should be formed a League of Free Ma
tons, as universal as possible, based upon treaty
and pledged that the security of each state shall
rest upon the strength of the whole. The initint-S
ing nucleus of the membership of the League
should be the nations associated as benigerents
in winning the war.
The League should aim at promoting the
liberty, progress, and fair economic opportunity OF
all nations. and the orderly development of the
world.
IL should ensure peace by eliminating causes OF
dissension, by deciding controversies by. peace
able means, and by uniting the potential force OF
all the members as a standing menace against
any nation that seeks to upset the peace OF the
world. .
The advantages OF membership in the League,
both economically and from the point of view
of security, should be so clear that all nations
will desire to be members OF 1t.
For this purpose it is necessary to create
/. For the decision Of jnsticiable questions, an
impartial. tribunal whose jurisdiction shall not
depend upon the assent of the parties to the con-
troversy; provision to be made for enforcing It's
decisions.
2. For questions that are not iustieiable in
their character. a Council OF Cancellation, as media
tor, which shall hear, consider, and make recon-
mendations; and. failing acquiescenee by the
parties concerned, the League shall determine
what action, il any, shall be taken.
3. An administrative organization Tor the con-
duct of affairs Of common interest. the protection

and care of backward regions and INTERNATIONAL
lied places, and such matters e6 have been jointly
administered before and during the war. We
hold that this object must be attained by meth
DDS and through machinery that will ensure both
stability and progress; preventing, on the one
band, any capitalization of the status quo that
will defeat the forces of healthy growth and
change, and providing, on the other hand, a
way by which progress can be secured and nee
essary change effected without recourse to war.
4. A representative Congress to formulate and
codify rules of international law, to inspect the
work of the administrative bodies and to con-
slider any matter affecting the tranquility of the
world or the progress or betternent OF human
relations. Its deliberations should be public.
S. An ESecu,iUe Body, able to speak with au-
thority in the name of the nations represented,
and to act in case the peace of the world is
endangered. ..,.
The representation OF the different nations in the
organs of the League should be in proportiop to
the responsibilities and obligations they assume.
The rules of international law should not be de-
feated for lack of unanimity. "
A resort to force by any nation should be
prevented by a solemn greement that any ag-
erosion will be met immediately by such an
overwhelming economic and military force that 1t
will not be attempted.
No member of the League should make any
other offensive or defensive treaty or alliance,
and all treaties of whatever nature made by any
member Of the League should at once be made
public.
Such a League must be formed at the time OF The de.
fnitiUe peace, or the opportunity may be lost forever

ALEAGUE OF NATIONS is necessary to do the
things no one nation can accomplish alone. Victory
and Peace have brought a multitude of new problems
The NeU Nations:
We propose to carve ont of the Old World a dozen
or more Republics based upon the principle of Self-de-
termination. Can we make the world safe for Dernoc-
racy if we create these new nations and then leave them
to shift for themselves? A A OF NATIONS
will be needed to guide and protect them.
German Colonies:
Germany has proved her un6tness for colonial rule.
To return her colonies is unthinkablc. They must be-
come the wards of all the free peoples, banded together
in a LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
Economic Questions:
Access to the sea and access to raw materials are
two of the international questions that can be handled
only by a LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
It will be possible for the Peace Congress to estab-
lish only broad, general rules for the regulation of these
problems. No one nation can make safe and effective
use of Economic Pressure to prevent war. The right to
employ this weapon must reside, as President Wilson
has pointed out. with a LEAGUE CE NATIONS

visions and a national police power to enforce them, the

of Dressing Yesterday.
By Special Correspondent.


TOTTENVILLE, Feb. 12.-Sixty-
seven workers were out at the meeting
OF the Fifth Ward Branch of the Rich
mond Chapter of the American Red
Cross yesterday at the Masonic tenn
pie. A total of 1.224 pieces OF surg
icat dressing were made at this time
which Is the largest number made by
the branch on q work day since 1t
was started. The branch has accom-
plished considerable work since the
first OF the year and its increase in the
number OF pieces each week is being
accomplished by the members with
out much difficulty. There were three
more enrollments at this meeting.
This brings the membership close to
the $50 mark with steady gain every
week. The Junior Red Cross Is plan
ming for an entertainment to be held
at the school Tuesday night, Febru-
ary 10 for the benefit Of their fund.
An elaborate program Is being arrang-
ed that will include the play "A Dream
Of Christmas" which was given at the
school entertainment two weeks ago
for the benefit Of the shoes fund OF
the school club. An effort will be
made to have Arthur Foley, so1oist, Of

time to again take part in the program.
Mr.. Foley Is former resident Of Tot
tenville, and all who heard him at the

municipal ownership of light and troll
mond. Tho resolution will declare
in which to mako municipal ownership
experiments contemplated by the city
It is said that practically every Stat
on Island taxpayer Is in favor Of NUM-
cipal ownership OF the light and pow
er systems. The Staten Island Civic
League with 5000 members, Is back
ing Borough President Van Name In
his effort to bring municipal owner
ship experiments to Staten Island, Bor-
ough President Van Name said last
night:
'.All members Of the Board Of Es-
innate chosen at the recent election
were elected on a municipal owner
ship platform. I believe Staten Is
land Is an ideal place to carry out
the experiments. There is already q
municipal ferry to Staten Island, and
the taking over of the trolley system
would be simply an extension OF the
present system of transportation.
while power Is furnished for the
trolley system, 1t could just as well be
furnished for lights too. II Staten Is
land owned Its own trolley lines, 1t
could extend these to all parts OF the
island develop property and increase
population. In this way 1t would get
back In taxes what it cost to extend,
and later operate the lines"

Fire Drills.

TRENTON, Feb. 12:-Because
!; there is always some danger Of a fire
or Of a panic among pupils in the
schools throughout the state resulting
from fire or smoke scare during the
cold weather, the State Department
of Public Instruction, through Com
missioner OF Education Calvin N.
Kendall, has sent out bulletins to the
school Officials Of the state in which
is declared that the state board Is Of
the opinion:
That a fire drill should be given in
every school building of more than
one story at least twice a month.
That preparation or practice for
this drill should take place at the be-
ginning of each school year.
That report concerning these
drills should be given monthly by the
principal to the superintendents OF
schools, if there is a superintendent,
or to the secretary or clerk of the
board Of education.
1t is also the opinion Of the state
board that it would be advisable for
the officials of local boards of educa-
ton to secure the advice of fire de-
partment officials as to the best meth
cd of obtaining efficiency in fire drills
when local conditions are taken into
consideration.
In addition, DR.. Kendall called to
the attention of the school officials
the following list of fire "Don'ts"
which are Of importance, and which
he desires school janitors and other
custodians Of buildings to be instruct
ed to carry out. They follow:
Don't allow snow or ice to remain
on fire escapes.
Don't allow smoke doors, which
close off the corridors from the stairs,
, to remain open. They must be kept
