THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

It seems to me that the idea Of a League Oh
Nations is the longest step forward taken oy
TIE world since the dawn OF cVllIzatl0n Inc lca't
Of ending all wars forever IS a WondefIuI IilH8
that appeals to the Imagination especially at d
time when the world is war weary, But after we
have accented the idea we must carefully exam
inc the practical workings Of the machinery OF
fered before entrusting to its care the very IlIe
of our nation The idea of flying in the air IS
very wonderful thing which appeals to the mag
nation, but the first machine designed Tor thaC
purpose had to be worked over and remooeieo
many times before even the inventor was wiling
to entrust his life in it for trial flight. Even
now no aviator thinks of going I'D one fhght
without first examining all the parts. IS 1t ho6
reasonable to carefully examine the supports
and SAFEGUARDS of the League Of Nations and 10
tighten up all the bolts for ctr own protection
before starting on flight INTO the unknown
future?
One Of the things which America must safe
guard herself against, as Tar as possible on TINS
flight, is the "air pocket Of secret diplomacy
within the League of Nations, when 1t has beeh
formed will always be the danger OF secret IN
trieues and secret agreement among various
members who desire thereby 20 gain some ad-
vantage for themselves.
1t NAV be that secret agreements or treaties
made the League possible. I do not know. Even
President Wilson's rotcenco on the subject COM
bined with the revelations Of Secretary OF State
Lansing and Arthur c. BUlIitt indicating that at
least some of the provisions of the treaty and the
league were the result Of such secret undors5and-
ings But one thing is well known and That IS
that secret diplomacy has been thc bane OF
Europe for centuries. 1t is the first weapon they
resort to in any international crisis. The United
States has never descended to the use OF these
tactics Thanks to our constitution which re-
quires all treaties to be ratified by the Senate
secret treaties are impossible Our grave concern
is can we persuade Europe and Asia to abandon
the use Of so powerful weapon IS secret dlplO-
macy weapon with which they are familiar,
and to the use Of which they are 50 accustomed
to resort If not we are entering game where
the cards will be stacked against US In such n
game we would have about the same chance as
q social card player would have sitting at table
with professional poker players Hence, before
we pool our wealth and our manhood before we
pledge the destiny Of unborn generations-let us
make it as safe and secure as possible against all
contingencies which might arise in the future
people. When We have done this we have done
our duty both to humanity and to our country as
to threaten the welfare and happiness Of our

WAITING TO BE FILLED

A small glass of condensed milk from Amer
lea is such luxury in many parts Of War-torn
Europe that hundreds-in some cases thousands
of children stand in line nearly whole day TO
receive this drink when it is distributed by the
agents Of the American Jewish Relief committee.
Fresh milk is not to be had in some coun-
tries-such as the major part of Poland Con-
densed milk is all that can be furnished. And the
Jewish relief agents haul to their milk stations
immense truck loads of this beV erage every day
Early in the morning the famished youngsters
begin to gather about these milk stations. Pa
tiently they wait until arrangements are COM
pleted for distribution Of the milk. Some of the
youngsters-four years old-neyer tasted any
other milk in their lives, the war having swept
over their Villages before they were born and
having destroyed all the dairy stock.
The American Jewish Relief committees
agents are the sole distributors of food to more
than $4,000 Jewish orphans in Europe Nearly
100000 men and women also owe their lives
to this organization alone To continue this work,
the relief committee is trying to raise $35000,-
coo throughout the United States.

from him that did not move me to

than the fact that men in, the

awakening to the necessity of TAX

of these was Father McGlynn Of

Repeatedly we have warned
parents about the danger Of pla-
cling in the hands Of children fire
arms as is so generally practiced
in New Iberia. On Tuesday
another boy was badly wounded
in the hand, a part of which he
will lose and be MANNED for life.
This time it was a colored boy
named Bernie Handy, a son Of
J. B. Handy. It seems the boy
had sighted a bird, and stood up
with one hand resting over the
muzzle Of the gun when another
negro Of lesser years, Douglas
Batson, after asking few ques-
tons whether the gun was loaded,
unexpectedly pulled the trigger
and the weapon was discharged
into the boys hand. Physicians
were sent for and the operation
was so successful that one-half of
the hand was saved.

ELEPHANTS USED TO PULL
AUTOS OUT OF BOG HOLES.

New Iberia is not the only
place On the map where there are
bad bog holes Judging from all
excerpt taken from the Alex
andria Town Talk. It is true on
many of our streets it is impos-
sible to drive vehicle of any
sort without stalling. In a great
measure this trouble is due to the
fact that when the deep trenches
were cut for the sewerage the
ground shauld have been packed
tightly and put in the same con-
dition it was before the trenches
were cut. In Alexandria, on
streets where there is no paving,
there are holes equally as bad as
those in our own City Judging
from the following:
"Two large elephants belonging
to M. L. Clark & Sons Shows, are
being used daily to rescue auto
mobiles that bog in mud holes in
West Monroe street. The ele-
plants get in behind the cars and
push with their heads. It has
been reported to Town Talk that
numbers of these machines bog on
this street daily and that the ele-
plants are kept in readiness. The
ears are moved at nominal cost. -
