choice, he explained, must be either
the old way or the new way--a league

is only one civilized country in the
world that would abide BY such an
alliance No nation can sitSon by itself

continued Mr.. Baker. 1T was the most
exalted thing to us in the whole war.
We must have that same spirit at

when traditions have been torn away
from every nation, that we still have
traditions of liberty and democracy
We started as an acorn and have
grown to strong oak. We must NOT

"Russia's Grandmother, Speaks.

Catherine Breshk ovkaya, "the little
grandmother of Russia" created a re-
markabIe impression. Before taking
her place on the platform at the be-
ginning of the exercises abe walked
over to DIR. Anna Howard Shaw and
reyerently kissed her on both cheeks.
She spoke briefly and in a voice
which could be heard within a radius
of but ten feet.
She referred to the gifts. action
and beauty of the United States And
she contrasted those qualities with
the strife through which Russia has
passed and is passing. She predicted
that a league of nations would bring
about a condition which would find
the world without quarrels, strife or
disease.
This war and past wars" said DIR.
Shaw, who was one of the speakers.
"have taught us that the foundation
of government is based not on wealth
and learning. but on human hearts
more than anything else. President
Wilson has shown us spiritual de-
mocracy. 1t is said of him that he
is sort of idealist, sort Of dream
er. He is both. but practical in each.
He has come to learn that the strong
est power in the world is the ideal
of democracy.
mfr Baker has told us that q. 0O0. 600
lives were lost in the war. These loss
es mean not only the destruction of
life but the -annihilation of hopes, am
billions and Inspirations. The women
of the world should realize that the
time has come when they shall not
bear sons that they may be slaughter
ed at will by potentates. The time has
come for women to have representa-
ton at the peace conference.

our sons. we must learn the lessons
of the war and go forth and say:

Sultan Okwawa was. one of the
original professors against the Teu-
ton policy of dominion, and he
backed his protest by fighting when
the Germans invaded his teerritorGys
rupees on his head and enlisted se,1
against him; but his head remained
safely on his shoulders until his
death, although his own tribesmen
could have secured it hundreds Of
times if they had wanted to.
The war continued until bis death
After he died the Germans stole
his skull.
Now, among the tribesmen the skull
of their chieftain is an object of
veneration. 1t is cherished and hid
den away in a secret place, though
ordinarily the bodies of the dead are
thrown to wild animals. The skull
of the sultan, however. is supposed
to give security and wisdom to his
son who succeeds him.
Therefore the tribesmen were
much outraged at the theft of the
skull of Sultan Okwawa, and the only
way in which the British may hope
to recover the proper respect for
the white mans civilization is
through the return of the skull so
ruthless1y stolen.
So Sultan Okwawa's skull has
found it's way into the peace treaty.
