The League TO Enforce Peace. he
said in part:
"It is not at all improbable that
within a few weeks Germany may
propose to make peace on terms that
appear on their face reasonable and
moderate. She may offer to retire
from Belgium and France and even
to contribute toward the damage suf-
fered, to cede Alsace and Lorraine or
leave their future to be decided by
plebiscite, to give the Trentino and
Trieste to Italy, to promise some kind
of autonomy to the various races in
Central and Eastern Europe, and to
agree that the barbarities she has
practieed shall not again be permitted
in war.
"Such an offer might well beguile
the Allies into a delusive peace. The
peace would be delusive for, unless the
principle of militarism is destroyed,
the promises would be kept no better
than those broken in the past. Au-
tononly of other races would mean
their organization for the strengthing
of Germany; until she had control of
the resources of a population of two
hundred millions for her next war.
Such settlement would be mere
truce, pending a strife more fierce
hereafter.
IF the upshot of this war is incon-
elusive the whole world will be pre-
pairing for another. During any tenn
porary truce men of science in all
countries will devote much of their
thought to making engines more de-
structive and more deadly for the next
struggle which will be well nigh war
of determination.
Civilization as we know it has now
reached point where it must pre-
clude war or perish by war, and war
can be precluder only by conquest
of the world by single power, or by
an organization of many nations to
prevent its recurrence.
'The principle of predatory mill
tarism cannot be done away with I'M
less mankind has the intelligence, the
magninimity and the determination so
to organize itself that justice shall
take the place of violence, and that
the predatory state shall be restrained
by force if need be, from a wanton
resort to arms. No one nation can do
this, nor can it be done if the United
States stands aloff. The time has
come to take part in League of Ma
tons to maintain an enduring peace
here and elsewhere. We must finish
the work we have begun until the
principle for which we fight stands
victorious and unquestioned; and
then we must build structure that,
so far as human wisdom cam reach,
will Danish the scourge Of war among
men,"

DISTRIBUTION OF GARMENTS
TO DESTITUTE OF BELGIUM

1t was announced that the national
committee recently was preparing a
distribution of garments to the desti-
tute in the invaded territory of Bel
GUM. 1t is appropriate in this con-
nection as giving an idea of the i'm
portance of this branch of the activity
of the national committee, to note that
up to the 1st of February, 1918 to-
tai sum of $969, 919 had been spent on
Brussels and its suburbs alone.

II Is generally conceded in dry ter

violation is due to a concerted and
consistent effort on the part OF the
liquor people to cause as much viola

sible with view to having the dry

ever. has not yielded in the least to
this system of pro-liquor activity and
has continued aggressively in the law

SAYS GREAT BRITAIN
Has Resulted in Remarkable I'm

and Diseases incidental 10 Liquor

Great Britain Is forced TO acknowl-
edgement OF the extraordinary 'bene-
fits in the elimination OF liquor. The
severe war restrictions now prevail
ing have made such Improvement In
the livelihoods of the people that
Great Britain will never return to the
pre-war conditions liz credited az a
statement made by Baron D'Aoernon
reported in the Associated Press dis
patches
Baron D'Abernon, chairman OF the
central board of control which has to
do with Fngland's drink problem, IS
pronounced in his statements regard
Ing the increased efficiency OF British
labor, the Improvement of the living
conditions among producers, the
moral standard raising among all
classes, the wonderful sobriety OF the
army and navy accompanying the in
creasing severity of restrictions sur
rounding the traffic in Britain
Baron D'Abernon's statement in
part is:
The regulations limiting the hours
of sale, providing for the duution of
spirits and beer and forbidding treat
ing, has resulted in remarkable de-
crease in drunkenness and the dis
eases incidental to drinking. The
level Of drunkenness today is about
half that of year ago, when it was
one-third OF the pre-war time. There
has been a general decrease Of about
83 per cent, in drinking among both
men and women.
THE progress OF Improvement has
| been rapid and continuous that
the government is fully satisfied. and
no further restrictions are contem-
plated. The reduction In tntemper-
ance has been larger In this country
during the period since the restric-
tons went into effect than is shown
anywhere else in the world. The
policy has been not 10 attack the
liquor trade, but the inetflciency
caused by alcoholic excuses
Baron D'Abernon asserted that
the wonderful sobriety' of the army
and navy was due TO the non-treating
rule, which has caused the abolition
of compulsory drinking that accom-
panied the treating custom
The restrictions placed upon the
traffic in Great Britain We're increased
until the present severity order pre-
walls. These restrictions were made
necessary to meet the war crisis in
the life of the nation. With the ap-
Supendous benefits resulted that the
popular voice of the nation now is to
follow up the great good already
gained by complete prohibition of the
traffic. Plebiscites from Industrial
Centers of the empire recently rel Jrt-
ed by the International Record show
the workers of Great Britain more
than two to one in favor OF omplete

that elements in Great Britain, not

political or financial channels, are
