CITIES FIGHT FOR
HOME. OF LEAGUE
World Statesmen Reported
Sure of Its Creation, But Diff
fer as to Headquarters Site.
BELGIUM'S RIGHT MORAL
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.
Stan Correspondent OF The Star.

BRUSSELS, March 1s.-Down in
Paris grave statesmen of the world
have decided definitely that there
shall be a league of nations. But
where shall be the headquarters of
this great organization which is sure
to be builded up? This is the problem
that already has been given serious
thought by the members of the peace
conference, and one which. before
! being settled, is liable to stir storm
OF indignation on the part of those
nations which desire it. 1t is the
general consensus of opinion that the
machinery of any league should be
housed within the confines of one of
the smaller states of Europe. The
Hague has been mentioned and
Geneva is suggested as logical
place for the league. Brussels and
Belgium. likewise, have put in
strong claim. and SO the matter stands
with each of the various elements
diligently striving to outdo the prom
ises of other rival Claimants.
Eelgium's Sentimental Claim.
The position of Belgium in regard
to the future seat of the league OF
nations is based primarily upon the
fact that Belgium has a moral right
u act dS HOSl Al least. belS luHl OIi-
cialdom and people declare that the
allied world might by placing the
headquarters of the league of ma
tions in Brussels show appreciation
Of Belgium's activities during the
period of the war. And many states
men in Paris take the same ground.
For sentimental reasons if nothing
more, Belgium should have first call,
they declare.
Belgium is not merely asking for
the league without first making
preparations for adequately housing
the orga ganization-possibly a large
one-which is sure to be assembled
to keep the wheels of the machine
adequately oiled and running. The
Palais dEdgmont. in Brussels. there
fore has been rendered as the home
Of the league should it come to the
Belgian capital 1t is a beautiful
old building with two wings, which
was erected in 1860 on the site of the
old castle of the Counts d'Edgmont,
the famous Flemish noblemen, who in
1868 were sentenced to have their
heads cut off by the Duke of Alba
Up until 1914 it was owned and oc-
cupied by the Duke of Arenburg.

"Alsace Has Not Forgotten"

From Impressions of Alsace Under the {
 Armistice," by Gen. Emile T. Taufnieb, |
 in the Scribner. N......
 Alsace has not forgotten that during l the 200 years of her union with France she lived free and happy. She was not conquered. She gave herself freely to that union. She was the first to acclaim the great principles of the French revolu- ton. In 1702 the rights of man" was
 posted up in every commune of Alsace. Tn 1871 Alsace was torn from France without being consulted, and she has pro- tested from that time up to the present,
 before the entire world, against the ty
 rannical act which disposed of her people
 as though they were a herd of cattle.
 But Alsace wiled to remain French and
 large proportion of Alsatians stayed on in their country after 1870, although forced
 to speak German. It is to these AL satians and their children-many of whom were sent to France to complete their education and brought back French ideals that we owe continuation of the French spirit and an unchanged loyalty and devotion to France. Alsatian mothers whose children were educated at home neutralized the effects of German in- structon by teaching them French and Alsatian songs. and by recounting to them the stirring stories of their fore bears in the days when they fought for France
 German officials married to Alsatlan women were insensibly led to modify their Teutonic point of view, to adopt liberal | ideas Their children are true Alsatfnns and rallied to the cause of France. There | is, in fact, but one element of discord in Alsace--the German immigrant class, or ficals or business men, unmarried or with l wives who are also German. These people will carry on an anti-French propaganda, and should be driven out of the country. | France It is not an international prob Hem nor one to be solved by a plebiscite. l It is simply question of restitution to | France of population forcibly separated from the mother country without chanee 1 of self-determination. It Is the annul- l n,ent of the treaty of Frankfort, the con | summation of the pact of Bordeaux, that | testament willed to the national assembly by the protesting deputies on February 16, 1871.
 Long live Alsace! Long live France one and indivisables

MEN ENLISTED IN
 NATIONAL GUARD
More Interest Being Shown in National Guard-2S
 Signed for Band

At a meeting called by Mai. Lucien Brown and former officers of the na- tiona1 guard. at o'clock last night at the city hall, a number of men enlisted and further plans were laid for the or ganization of the two line companies and headquarters company of the old Fourth Alabama infantry regiment.
 During the course of the day seven men were enlisted in the line company and 2S members of the band were signed up by Philip Memol who has charge of the enlistment for the band A greater interest in the development of the na- tional guard was shown last night than at any previous meeting.
 Next week a large tent, which will be used as a recruiting station. will prob ably be placed near the information bureau. on Second avenue and Twentieth street. This will be used as the head quarters for the recruiting service of the three companies to be organized in this city.
 Major Brown spoke very optimistically of the prospects of reorganization last night He said:
 T give my training in the national guard, of which have been a member since 1887, the credit for what service l have been able to render my country. This is great opportunity for every young man, and it will not be long, when we have gotten everything in good working order before it will not be a question of where are we going to get the men. It will be simply question of what men will we take.
 nnx n than they were when I first enlisted in the national guard At that time we had to pay & initiation fees and 50 cents a month dues; besides this, we had to buy our own uniforms. Conditions today are much better than they were then, The government now pays you one-fourth pay of $50 a month, and all of expenses, besides full pay, when in camp.
 "A resolution was passed by the Civic association at their last meeting, in dorsing our plans and also appointing a military committee, which will give us their hearty cooperation. I feel certain that we will meet with success in this undertaking"
 L. G. Davis was the first man enlisted in a line company of the national guard tc6ay. Later during the day the follow ing six were also signed up: James Rogers, Company K; Esper Caldwell, headquarters company; Israel J. Brown, Company G; Edward L. Goss, Company K; Alfred A. Strain, Company K. Lucius M, Bullard, Company G.

 My men and I were furious" he said. "and made up our minds that we'd do the same thing to the first German we caught. That night we found two Germans hidden in barn. We fell on them and then-as they were hungry we gave them bread We could not do what they did. for we are not of the same race" he finished with pride

 All that is great and admirable in India was created during the period when she was an independent empire with groups of fine provinces, first un- der local rulers and then under the central domination of the Moguls. With all their drawbacks and hideous cruel ties, they lived in the country Though they themselves were Mohammedans, they employed Hindus 0f all races in the very highest posts as financiers, as administrators and as generals. Asiatics ruling Asiat tics, they knew how far it was safe to go without bringing ruin upon the people and being overthrown themselves.
