WHAT THE LEAGUE OF
NATIONS REALLY Is
BY DR.. HENRY VAN DYKE-FORMER u. S. MINISTER
TO THE NETHERLANDS
Second in a Series of Three Articles.

. stitute been proposed half as likely
10 be effective Suppose such a
league had existed in 1914 Sup
pose the Central empires had been
assured that their refusal Of arbitra-
ton n Cancellation. their fierce
choice Of war, and the swiftly sue
cessive attacks upon serbia. Russia.
Belgium and France, would brin6
Britain, Italy, Japan, the United
States and other nations into zine
against the attempt at world -domi-
nation. There is hardly a doubt
that such a grave and certain pros
pect would have checked even the
German arrogance. restrained even
the German lust of power. and
spared mankind four years of devas-
tating conflict.
Here is the point. The very ex-
istence Of such a league will be q
powerful deterrent from criminal
assault and battery upon the world $
peace. 10 will make wars Of agsres-
sion and conquest, ipso facto. an of
Tense against the society OF nations.
And it viii provide such a penalty
that nations viii hardly dare to
face it.
League Machinery Outlined.
What is the machinery proposed
in the league for this purpose? In
brief and in outline It is this
First, body OF delegates repre-
senting all nations signing the COW
cnant. and meeting at stated inter
walls. The functions of this body
viii be mainly in consultation.
Second, an executive council con-
sisting OF nine members: five rep
resenting the United States. Great
Britain. France. Italy and Japan:
four from other states belonging to
the league. These states shall be Sc
lccted by the body of delegates on
such principles as they see fit. The
functions of this council will be
mainly deliberative and advisory.
but in three cases its decision Will
apparently be binding by the terms
of the covenant. When it makes a
unanimous recommendation in a
cause submitted TO IL for arbitra-
ton; when it defines the degree and
method of control or administration
TO be exercised over a backward
people by a state which has accept
ed a mandate for that purpose,
( but the acceptance of the mandate
is not made obligatory; and finally,
when the limit of fair and reason
able armament has been recon-
lnended by the council and adopted
by the states. none of them shall ex-
coed the limit which it has accept
ed unless it obtains the consent of
the council: thus the acceptance OF
the limit in the first place is left to

Amendments.

structure Of the league as defined in
the proposed constitution. Nobody
has ever claimed that it is sacred.
As a matter of fact. it is being
amended now.
But in regard 10 all suggested
amendments, two things must be re-
membered. If they make such rad
zeal changes in the constitution of
the league that our allies cannot
possibly accept it, they will be OF
structive. they will break up the
harmony already reached and delay
a real peace indefinitely. Ii they

the league, take out its spinal col
umn, extract its teeth and reduce II
10 "a mere gelatinous mass of pious
resolutions. they Will be destruc-
tive. they will leave a thing not
worth having.
Either Of these kinds of amend
ment would fulfil the aim of the
enemies of the league and probably
crafty unconverted Germany. But
they would betr6y the desire of the
free. pcace-loving nations of the
world. What they want, and what
America wants. is a league of peace
with power-a partnership of demo-
cratic states, each sovereign in its
own domain, all pledged TO unite
their efforts to keep war down and
TO hold reason and justice up in the
international relations of the world.

Pearson and from there distributed,
two barrels being placed in the base
ment of the Goldfield Hotel and two
being taken to an abode house in the
red light district, where Braden af-
terward showed the contents to
Deputy Bogard, according to the
deputy.
The booze was in beer barrels.
Six barrels entered the town on the
truck and the police say these are
accounted for by the contents of
two that Braden showed Bogard,
two in the basement of the hotel, one
found full in Pearson's house and
one found there that had been emp
tied. The whiskey was bottled and
packed in the barrels with sawdust.
According to the police there is
no connection between the Goldfield
bar or hotel management and the
two barrels found in the basement of
the. hotel.
The shipment, according to the
authorities, was made in Pearson's
name. What became of the contents
of the barrel found empty in his
house has not been determined. 1t
is said to have gone to Tonopah,
but the authorities say this is i'm
possible as Chief of Police Grant of
Tonopah was watching the road.
When Deputy Bogard went to
Braden's residence the alleged
bootlegger took him to the adobe
cabin and showed him the booze.
Pearson's cabin door was open
and the full barrel and empty one
were found within.
When arrested, according to
Deputy Sheriff Bogard, Pearson
said he had never been in Jail
before, but that he guessed it
was up"

AMERICAN SOLDIERS FIND
PRIMITIVE TEUTON MILL

COBLENZ, April &c. - One of
the sights in Remagen for Ameri-
can soldiers quartered in this Sec
ton of the occupied area is a
primitive stone mill used by the
Germans for the production of a
vegetable substitute for animal
and mineral oils and fats. An oil
was made here from the seeds of
beech trees and the fodder plant,
rape. These seeds were mixed in
equal parts and ground in the
stones of the old mill. Twelve
pounds of seeds yielded about one
quart Of oil and left a highly nu-
tritious cattle fodder. Remagen
has been the headquarters of the
165th infantry, New York's "Old
69th" of the 42d division.

destroyed by fire. Many of the

IRRIGATION FOR
LAND IN UTAH
ONE MILLION ACRES WILL BE
RECLAIM
ED

SALT LAKE CITY, April 90
According to George F. McGon-
agile, Utah state engineer, enact
ment of the water rights bill by
the recent legislature will make
possible the saving of sufficient
water to irrigate many thousands
of acres. According to Mr.. Nc
Gonagle, 100000 acree feet of
water have been used to irrigate
about 10000 0 acres of land.
The same acreage can be irrigated
with 100000 acre feet of water
after the full application of the
powers given the state engineering
department in the new water rights
bill, Mr.. McGonagle asserts.
The new law gives the state en-
gineer authority to appoint water
commissioners, makes the state
of Utah a party to all suits con-
corning water rights, provides
that no one not a citizen can ap-
propriate water in Utah and pro-
vides a revolving fund Of $780,
900 to be used to finance any hy-
geographic surveys that may be
necessary.
A provision of the law which
requires that any person or cor
poration using water must provide
a substantial headgate and meas
uring service at the point where
the water is diverted, will prove a
great saving to the supplies in all
irrigation streams, in the opinion
of the state engineer.

PHOENIX, Ariz., May 1. - The
return of soldiers from the front,
with their vivid stories of trench
life and scouting in No Mans Land

the war games of the juvenile pop
ulation of Phoenix, according to
Chief of Police Brisbois.
A yeritable mania for trench

CAUGHT, SAY
POLICE
w. FL. BRADEN AND GEORGE
PEARSON ARE AR
RESTED

Booze is said to have flowed free
Ily in Goldfield since the state Wen
dry and the predictions of the
downfall of the men who have
been responsible for this alleged
condition have been common. The
first halt was called to the traffic
over the line when w. H. Braden,
a property owner in the red light
district, and George Pearson, said
by the sheriff's office to have for
merly been a lessee on the Flor
ence, were arrested this morning.
Both men are still in Jail, although
no charge had been placed against
them up to 3 o'clock this after
noon. 1t is rumored that others
may be arrested.
The evidence is said to be SO
strong against Braden and Pear
son that their conviction is prac-
tically assured. When Deputy
Sheriffs Box and Bogard went to
the residences of the alleged boot
tleggers they found the bottled con-
tents of two barrels near Braden'C
residence, and nj barrel. unopen-
ed, in Parsons residence on
Franklin heights.
The booze was hauled from Big
Pine in a truck owned by Jack
Jakowatz and driven by George
| Connolly, both of whom have been
absolved of all blame by the au-
thorities. Braden hired the truck,
with Connolly as driver, to haul
mining machinery, according to
lJakowatz. and it is known that the
latter warned him that no booze
was to be hauled in 1t. BradenI
according to Jakowatz, agreed to
this. The barrels we're labeled
glass" and Jakowatz said today
that had he been driving the truck
he would have refused t haul the
load, but that no blame could be
attached to Connolly, who was
merely in his employ.
The authorities received word late
yesterday that the booze was to be
hauled here and Chief of Police
Morrison and Deputy Sheriff Bogard
guarded the road from then until S
o'clock. when they were relieved by
Deputy Box, who at 7 o'clock say
the truck come in. Box then
aroused Bogard and through Con-
molly and F. w. Just, a truckman,
the booze was found.

: rels we're taken to the residence OF

STANISLAU, West Ukraine,
April rs. = Much anxiety is felt
in this capital of the West Tx
.~rainian republic over the future
attitude of the entente allies fol-
lowing the ultimatum delivered by
the i~nter-allied mission at Lam
berg that if the U~krainians re-
sumed military operations against
the Poles they would have to an
Iswer for the consequences. While
their present temporary successes
in the operations about Lemberg
have had a heartening effect upon
the Ukrainian troops. this has not
been much reflected here.
The situation in this capital is
much the same as that which pre-
vailed in Poland in the early part
of December. There is consider
able fear of further gains by the
Bolsheviki in Russian Ukraine
where they are still holding Kiev,
although the Ukraine military au-
thorities declare they are able to
drive back the Bolshevik forces
within a month, particularly il
they are not harrassed by the Pol
ish or Rumanian armies. How
ever, there is more order in the
west Ukraine now than there was
in Poland up to a month ago.
Food conditions are better, with
meat selling at 80 cents a pound,
though bread and sugar are high.
Medicines, soap and clothes are
scarce and high. 1t is pointed out
that the whole country of East
Galicia has been the field of the
operations of the Austrian and
Russian armies for four years,
with now and then an incursion
of the Turks and Germans, all of
whom made acquisitions upon the
people. This was especially true
of the Germans, who, the peasants
say, "proved worse thieves than
the Russians"
The whole flat country from
Lemberg to Stanislau has a bar
