History Proves

A student Of history, retrac-
ing our nations career. since its.
first planting in America. has
made the discovery that Of all the
greater wars fought since 1920
the year Of Pilgrim landing---the
people Of and United States have
escaped but two. While we were
yet British colonies, it was I'M
possible for us to escape entan-
clement Of wars which involved
Great Britains but even after we
ceased to be colonies we found
it equally difficult, as indeed it
increasingly became impossible
to escape ENHANCEMENT, for the
simple reason that we were a
part Of the human race.
This fact that we never
have been free Of ENHANCEMENT
with the misfortunes or bless
ings of humanity isasuficient
answer to the criticism offered a.
gainst the proposed constitution
of the League of Nations that it
will involve US in future wars.
We nearly always have been in
yolyed one way or another. We
always shall be, until we adopt
some method Of preventing wars
entirely, and this method is offer
ed US the League of Nations.
unfortunately, our newspapers
and general educational program
do not inform the people of the
extent to which circumstances
have drawn us into world affairs
or, if here and there the infor-
Imation is given, then the inter-
pretation is neglected. Has it oc-
Cured to the critics Of the Lea
que that the United States claim
ed and gained representation at
the Algeciras conference whereat
and great World War was fore
sAad wed? The conference foil
owed upon the Kaiser's first
world threat, and the United
S sates was there2
Iv we were sentimenTiy involved
in the Boer War.
We were officially involyec in
the Russo-Japanese War.
Our troops stormed Pekin in
the Boxer trouble.
We were involved by the Span
ish maladministration in the
West Indies.
Has it been forgotten that the
III. S. forced Japan to open to the
World. became China's friend,
and devoted lives and treasure to
freedom in the Mediterranean and
along the north African coast?
A review of u. S, history with
reference to our foreign relations
shows that our splendid isolation
has been rather imaginary
more geographical than politi-
cal. And just as the progress Of
the world has overcome our geo
graphical isolation, SO has it
made impossible our political is
olation. Since, then, we are fore
ed into the world arena, mfunnc-
ed by American ideals
The League of Nations is the
impression Of American ideals on
world affairs. It's America help

which she is compelled to bear
her nart

Returned Soldier

Homer Holmes arrived home
Saturday from Overseas, and
there is rejoicing by his aged
parents and his hosts Of friends
over his safe return. Homer was
our first Volunteer from Roy.
He left two years ago, in April.
He has not been i'll a day and
never been in a hospital in all
that time. He became an expert
artilleryman by training but was
kept in the repair shops at the
rear Of the front line and never
got a chance to send a shell to
the ranks Of the Huns. He per
formed just as great duty, how
ever in the sphere in which his
skill is demanded and he is home
with a broader, more compre-
hensiye and withal more correct
understanding Of that which
he has seen and heard and of the
whole war situation generally
than most Of the millions of men
who have seen service overseas.
