The Yale Band autoed over to
the lake Sunday and spent the
day in boating and bathing. They
also treated the resorters to some

GROWING DEMAND FOR A
REAL LEAGUE OF NATIONS

my quoting him. He told me that
! If genuine league of nations
! should be formed at Versailles he
would back it up in the senate, and
he believed that some of the other
| progressive Republicans would. but
! that he would fight with determin-
alton against anything that pre-
tended to be a real league and
wasn't. There are exceptions, of
course, to this general lineup be
tween the liberals and reactiOnar-
les. Senator BOrah is a liberal in
good many respects, but he is
timid and usually disappOints peo-
pie in fight where there is an OPP
position to be met He is, as far as
1 know, the only person in the SEN
ate who could be called a liberal
who is out against the league.
If any further argument were
needed for the league of nations it
could be found in the increasingly
complex struggles in Poland, the
Ukraine, Germany, various parts of
Russia, and, indeed, in almost all
directions. The cry of nationalism
has created as many dangers as it
has quieted in Europe, and the only
possible way of getting the discor-
dant elements to get together is to
create the league. If it is not Gre
ated any two little governments get
ting into a fight will be able to
precipitate the whole world into
another war
1t is interesting to get hold of
the kind Of paper in Europe that is
not much quoted in the American
press and see how wide is the
hope of the masses that the presi-
dents idea of a league will be car
ried through. The Avanti, for ex-
ample, reports a speech in the
Italian chamber by Turati in which
he said that the parliamentary So
cialist group was standing by Will
son not because they had his ideas
in general but because he seemed
to represent what was purest and
most promising in pacific tenden-
cies of the existing nations, and

sands through the country. 1t is a
problem in each town or city of
finding some method of making the
popular voice articulate. All that
is necessary is a group of people
who either have access to the pub
lie ear through the newspapers or
have money and influence enough to
get UP a mass meeting. Through
either of these forums they can
then express their adherence to the
essential elements of forming a
league that shall represent coop
GRAFTON in the settlement of nation
al questions instead of the imper-
ialism of individual nations. There
is hardly anyone so humble but
that if he shows energy enough in
going about and stirring up his
friends he will be able to lead his
community to make some kind of
expression and perhaps cable that
expression to the president

We are all getting tired of that
winter coat and velvet hat and IL is
really a relief and almost a joy to
see the advance spring styles in the
shop windows. In many sections it
is much too cold to buy the spring
outfit now, but there is no climate
which would prohibit thinking about
It. The suit and hat are always the
most important questions in the
spring. Real straws are already ap-
pearing on the avenues, but only on
the women who always go to ex-
LTemes.
The suits, however, are still con-
fined to the style books and the
shop windows. Brown duvetyn
makes this charming suit which il
Illustrates many of the new fashion
notes for the warm days to come.
The loose box coat will be a feature
% many a spring SUIT while the long
tight skirt is already making its ap-
pearance on some of the late winter
models. A tan broadcloth vestee of
odd design is a feature OF this suit
which may not find its way to many
others.
The small hat OF draped satin and
the handbag are both selected from
the choicest of the new spring ar
rivals.

RAISE FUNDS FOR
SUFFERING JEWS
AT CHICAGO MEET

Chfcago.-A big mass meeting
was held here yesterday TO com
plete plans for raising 100000,
this districts quota Of the $15,-
100000 to be contributed by Am
erica for relief Of the 100000
Jews suffering from the effects Of
the war
The suffering among our own
race in the war zone is something
Of which none Of US can have any
proper conception" said Julius
Roseuwald, one of the leaders in the
campaign. We might just as we'll
have been in their places if it had
not been for the fortunate chance
that brought our parents OF grand
parents here.
THE least we can do is to pre-
vent actual starvation among the
men, women and children who are
in most urgent need Of help. Let
us make up our minds that we viii
give to this cause 10 the limit of
cur ability. Ten per cent of what
we raise is 10 go to the families Of
those who have lost their bread
winners during the recent epidemic
that followed the war"
NO other people have suffered
as have the Jews during the war;"
said Jacob II. Schiff, who is also
one of the leaders Of the campaign
in this district Both the adyanc-
ing and tho receding armies have
passed over Jewish populations.
Just think OF those people who have
led honest lives being forced into
misery and death. We of America
are the only ones who can be their
saviors. Nothing is left for them
except what we can give, Even
England and France have nothing
left TO give.
I'VE alone have been spared the
miseries Of the war What is the
sacrifice of q few billion dollars 20
this wealthy country? We have
enough and 10 spare for those who
are less fortunate, less happy"

every amateur wireless operator
from using any apparatus regard
less of peace times. The Tri-City
association adopted and forwarded

Graham to prevent the passage of
the bill if possible and pointed out
its unfairness. Congressman Ora

TRAINING HELP
! To DETECTIVES
Educators May Seek Legislation
Providing Physical Course in
Schools of State.

Springfield, Ill.-Educators Of
the state may seek legislation pro-
viding facilities for physical train
ing in schools. Minor physical
troubles among children that might
in time become serious could be
eliminated by the training, educa-
tors believe.
Discovery OF physical defects
among American soldiers, it is
said. was considered by those ad-
vocating early physical training.
Recently the executive board of
the state teachers association went
on record as favorable to some law
making provision for physical
training as a part of the school
course.
In the state senate bill has been
introduced with this object. Wheth-
er it will have the support of edu-
cationaI interests is not yet known.
The only measure making its ap-
pearance thus far is that of Sena-
tor Glackin of Chicago. The bill
went to the committee on education
when appointed"
The Glackin bill proposes that in
communities where it is not practi-
cable to have a director of physi-
cal training in each school, sim
gle director can be employed to go
from school to school.
Not less than two hours of ply
steal training are required under
the GIackin measure.
Finances would be obtained from
levying a st0e tax of eight-tenths
of a mill on each dollars worth of
equipment, assessed value.
Instructors in physical training
would be regarded as teachers and
to all provisions of the law
teachers.
Section two of the bill introduce
ed by Senator Jewell providing that
mo other language than the Eng
lish language shall be taught in any
elementary or grade public school
in this state. provided that moth
ing herein contained shall be con-
structed to prevent the teaching of
such languages other than the Eng
lish language in the public high

Of learning" would cut off from its
source of revenue any school vio-

NOT READY FOR
PEACE METHODS
Lord Robert Cecil Says World Not
Mt Stage for Setting Up
NOn-Fight System.

London, Wednesday, Jan. 22-
Lord Robert Cecil, who today an
nounced at Paris that he had sub
mitted to the peace congress d
draft of the British view on the
subject of the league OF nations,
believes the world has not yet
reached a stage at which an abso-
lutely rigid system for the preser-
walton of international peace can
be set up, according to g. Reuters
dispatch from the French capital.
In discussing his idea of the form
the league shouM take, Lord Rob
ert says he thinks an international
tribunal with absolutely binding
powers is not practicable at pres
ent.
Tie independence Of modern
states has become so great that no
nation can control its own affairs
entirely without regard to the eff
fects of its actions on the other
nations" he said. 1T is import
ant TO proceed with the utmost re-
spect for national sovereignty.
In general, the power on which
the league must mainly rely will
be public opinion" he continued.
and it is for this reason that the
power imposing delay Oh disput-
ants is so important"
Lord Robert said he favored the
establishment of a permanent in
ternational council of The league
which would sit at place agreed
upon. Above this. he said, there
should be a superior council, con-
sisting of premiers or important
members of various national gov
ernments which meet regularly
and during the next few years,
very frequently.
States formed out of the WRECK
of the Austro Hungarian monar-
chy, Lord Robert said, could be
admitted to the league without
difficulty as soon as settled gov
ernments were established.

the company's mines at Sudbury
which is situated at the junction of
Toronto line of the Canadian Pacific
railway with its main transcontin-
entail line. The work of converting
matte into nickel requires from six
eight weeks time and involves
twenty-five processes. The refin-
ing of this first lot cost about 50
a pound, while the market price of
Tie finished product is about 26
cents a pound. This high cost was
due to numerous delays because of
help and kindred
causes. Normal conditions now
prevail and the plant is turning out

ing various aspects of the presi-

Wherever 1 have spoken recently
on the league of nations under cir
cumstances that allowed the audi
ence to ask questions. the largest
number of questions have had to
do with Russia. 1t is clear in the
public mind and also in the mind
of a considerable number of sena-
tors that it is impossible to separ-
ate the question of the good faith
Of the league of nations from the
"acid test" of our treatment of
Russia l have every reason to be-
lieve that the backing of the Brit
ish suggestion about the represen-
tation of Russia at the peace con-
ference is very much stronger in
government circles than has been
publicly made known. A good many
men in high positions feel that the
French rejection of the British
proposal was the most unfortunate
step recently taken.
A young couple writes from
Pittsburgh They both helped to
win the war and now they want to
help for the league of nations, and
they ask what people like them

tional's policy is to give employ
ment to every returned soldier who
seeks work. It's general manager
sums up their experience with this
class of labor, thus: While the
work of some of the veterans has
been very satisfactory, and while
tney have been given light work so
as not to overtax them, a curious
degree of restlessne5s has been en-
countered. Men who were eager
to commence work, disappeared
overnight, never to return. The
psychology of the returned soldier
furnishes a problem that demands
much study. Time and patience
must be exercised with the whole
class. and tact and consideration in
individual cases during the trying
perod of re-adjustment to put the
