Alfonso Says Spain
Was Strictly Neutral
King Charges Allies Remember
Unfriendly Acts, but
Forget Favors

PARIS, Feb. 2l-"The role of the
neutrals is at present far from an easy
one" said King Alfonso of Spain in an
interview which he gave to Albert
Loudres, of the petit Journal" re-
Gently
at seems to me-" continued the King,
that the victorious countries are more
inclined to remember the actions they
consider unfriendly than the help they
had from us; but that is human
with what are we in Spain re-
preached? We are made respons ible
for the propaganda that a belligerent
nation carried on here, but the consti-
tutional guarantees were not suspend
ed. There were people OF all nationali-
ties here, and [ fail to see how Spain
could be made to answer for acts to
which she was not party"
King Alfonso recalled how in 1914
he informed the French government, on
his own initiative, that it need have no
anxiety over the Pyrenees frontier.

Cross societies Of the world to be held
in Geneva thirty days after peace shall
have been declared.
Our committee will now adjourn
to Cannes, where we will devote our
selves to the formulation of q pro-
gramme to be submitted at the Geneva
conference.
1T is expected there will be estab-
llshed in Geneva a bureau which will
devote itself, not to the actual study
Oh human diseases. but to the coordi-
nation Of the results of such studies.
Three Divisions of Effort
"The result of this programme may
be stated under three heads:
"flrst-It would awaken the people
IN every country Of the world to q
sense Of their obligation to their fell
low men, and there would naturally fol
low IN each country an awakening to
the needs within that country and a
determination to meet them as far as
possible
"Second-It would throw light on the
darkest corners of the earth and would
give to all the world the full benefit
OF scientific study and experience in
the prevention and cure of disease.
"Third-It would make possible the
immediate cooperation on the part of
the various organizations to render aid
when necessary in the case Of great
disasters.
zone of the strongest features Of the
plan, as | see il, is that it encourages
all endeavor 1t can create no jeal-
ousles. 1t conflicts with no societies
and involves an expenditure trifiing in
amount when compared with the re
suits to be obtained"

that this question is dependent upon
Germany's financial situation and her

are ready to pay, but the Allies arc

the whole financial question
The German delegates at Treves fur

their resources. 1t set forth the total
German gold as equivalent to $780,
100000, which is insufficient to satisfy
the various Allied demands, and if
taken must cause financial prostration
On the other hand, the Allies are IN
willing to accept the German paper
marks. as they are unsaleable outside
of Germany in large amounts, and the
Allies would be unable to use them for
purchases inside Germany. The block
ade prevents trade and the exchange Of
purchased goods.
France also objects to taking German
goods in payment, as this would de-
range French industry and labor
These financial obstacles are retard-

question in turn IS retarding the De

Nation at Supreme Hour
II am not pessimist. ! find neither
solace nor guidance in doleful docu-
ments. But can any one gainsay that
we have reached a supreme hour in
the history of the republic which he
loved? There is not government in
existence to-day but which feels the
strain of those inscrutable forces
which are working their way through
all the institutions of men, church and
creed, ancient governments and new,
despotic and liberal, order and law, at
this time stand under challenge.
Hunger and disease, business anxiety
and industrial unrest, at this hour
threaten to demobilize the moral forces
OF organized society.
How shall We help to bring order
out of chaos? Shall we, do so by be-
coming less or more American? Shall
we entangle and embarrass the efforts
OF free people to decide in every
emergency what in that particula
hour and in that supreme moment the
interests o. the American people shall
be, and who're wisdom calls and where
duty lles; or shall we leave them free
according to their wisdom and their
Judgment to meet The emergency of
the future as they have so nobly met
them in the past?
I'm single line I can state my
tion-that there is not a super
national tribunal or q cupornot;op q I
government which can be created or
devised by the wit of man so well cal
cuated to take care Of this Republic
as the conscience and the wisdom of
the 100,000,000 people to whom the
loving God has intrusted its keeping
and its destiny?
Quotes Colonel Roosevelt
"May | read the final works Of this
man whose death, it is said, ended the
great doctrine of Americanism
ANY man who says he is an Amer

American at all. We have room for
but one flag, the American flag. We
have room for but one language here,
and that is the English language for
we intend to see that the crucible turns
our people out as American as Amer
lean nationality, and not as dwellers in
polygot clearinghouse; and we
have room for but one soul loyalty to
the American people,"

League by President

ton designed to prevent President

the Senate, and before communicating
to them or any Of them all such ma
tcral matters which may be of use
in arriving at joint understanding
of the Senate and the President as
the constitutional treaty making
powers of the government, in ratify-
ing, modifying or rejecting the same,
is unwise. undiplomatic and calculated
to promote discord and misunder-
standing between such two treaty max
ing powers, whose joint act is in
dispcnsablc in making such treaty.
"Be it, therefore, further resolved,
That it is the sense of this Senate
and it hereby respectfully requests that
the President do not discuss such
treaty until he shall have communi-
Gated either to the Foreign Relations
Committee or the Senate, or both, such
information as may properly bear
upon such proposed treaty. and that
he preserve an unbiased and impair
tial mind until he shall have advised
with the coordinated power, the Unit
ed States Senate. under the mandates
Of the Constitution so that each Of
said joint trcnty- making powers may
have the benefit of each others adj

PRACTICAL USE OF POETRY
Without Verse People Would Go About

We could suggest nothing, connote
nothing, say nothing but what we
could define. The practical reality of
that loss one may measure by our

TRAVELLED OVER AfPIAN WAY
Paul and His Companions Evidently

"All roads lead TO Rome" said

the journey says, 1--WE went toward
Rome"
Luke does not tell us by what road
they travelled but we can be sure that
it was by the great Appian way. al
ready three hundred years old, which
was built by Appius Claudius,
Roman censor, from Rome to Capua,
a point not very far from the port
where the prisoners landed.
From Capua to Rome was a dis
lance of 125 miles. Paul and his COM
panions probably walked the whole dis
lance. but We're met at the Three
Taverns, IL miles from Rome, and
at April Forum, or the market of
Appius, ten miles from Rome, by dele
cations from the infant church In
Rome.
This great highway was built of
hewn stones laid in cement, and aver
aged about 20 feet wide. Parts of the
road are still in excellent preserva-
ton.
The Three Taverns is identified by
some ruins, which are pointed out to
the modern tourists as tho remains of
the station at which Paul was met by
his loving brethren from Rome, who
had received news of his coming
probably by the system of posts which
penetrated to all parts of the empire
and resembled the modern post office,
and through the Acta Diurna, or pub
lie bulletins which were prototype
of the modern newspaper Christian
Herald.

@. f. LIMBECK TO POSTVILLE.
Expects to Erect Poultry Plant Cost
ing $4,000 to $4,000.

Postville Herald-C. F. Limbeck
was a Postville visitor Tuesday and
while, here secured an option on the
Roberts lots across the Milwaukee
track, directly north of the elevator.
Mr.. Limbeck plans to erect on these
lots next spring an immense poultry
and egg cold storage and packing
plant.
He states that he considers Post
vile the best location for plant
OF this kind in northeast Iowa. It
might also be added that the pros
pect of paved roads in and out of
Postville have been largely instru-
mental in influencing Mr.. Limbeck to
choose this point. Also that the In
dustries Committee of the CONNER
cial Club have been negotiating with
Mr.. Limbeck for some time.
Mr.. Limbeck's McGregor plant has
very heavy pay roll and he states
that the Postville plant should in
time be doing a bigger business than
the one at McGregor.
The Postville plant will cost from
100000 to $4,000 and will cover
a large portion of the plot of ground
on which they are to be located.
