The reading continued for thirty
five minutes without interruption or
applause. AS lie closed, the President
laid aside lie document and spoke of
what had been accomplished. The de-
Iiberatlons of the commission had
been most instructive, and throughout
the proceedings there was an under
tone of enthusiasm in the great work
being accomplished. The results, said
President Wilson, ''einbodied the judg-
ment of fourteen nations represented
on the commission, and these fourteen
nations We're a representative group
OF the conference itself"
The President spoke with especial
emphasis AS he referred to the wrongs
committed against helpless peoples.
Here is one especially notable
feature in this document he said.
helpless peoples, at times accom-
plished in the pIfst for the purposes
of exploiting these peoples. Too often
/ in the past, the President added, the
world had seen the land of helpless
communities appropriated for pollti-
cal purposes, And so,'' he said,
while this is Il practical document,
/ II Is above ali n human document. 1t
is practical, and at the same time ii
! is designed to purify, to rectify, to
lclevate.'t sN--- NIsA7

tions, followed the interpreter. Itwas
a good onien. said Lord Robert, that
this document had been laid before
The world before being finally enacted,
so that people everywhere could adj
wise upon and criticise it, The prob-
lem had been one of great difficulty,
for IL was TO preserve the peace of
the world with Tie least possible in
tcrference with national sovereignty.

Trustees Resign

The Hawthorne school trustees
have sent in their designations to
the State Superintendent. No rea-
sons are given except that they
have been in Office long time, and
think others should assume the
|gratuitous burdens of the position.
The Hawthorne board has been
an excellent one, and especial
praise is due Mr.. White, who has
been untiring in his efforts to make
our school one of the best in the
State. The pretty little school
house, attractive grounds and
equipment and the excellent library
are mainly the result of his zeal
and energy.

ORIGIN OF OIL

A correspondent asks Current
Events "Wherc did the oil come
from that is pumped out OF the
ground How did il get there?' and
the editor answers: Geologists dis
agree as to the origin of the so-called
"mineralroil" or petroleum. The
majority OF those who have written
on the subject appear to believe
that the oil is OF animal and veset
able origin. 1t is conjectured to be
mainly the fat of fishes, reptiles and
animals that lived and died ages ago.
Oil-bearing nlants or seeds may have
contributed to the total supply. The
whole subject is wrapped in mystery.
