WELL ATTENDED,.

The trip around the world given
last evening by the Epworth league
of the Methodist church was attend
ed by very large crowd. Although
the league had provided the number
of cars, which they thought Nould be
sufficient, it was necessary to hire
three jitneys to convey the people
from country to country and then
some had to walk. The following
countries WERE represented: Ireland,
Norway and Sweden, Italy, China,
Japan, Iceland. California, and Ha-
waiian Islands. Refreshments were
served representing each country and
all the places we're beautifully dec
grated. A great deal of fun was
created by some in trying to eat rice
lat China with the chop sticks, while
others found it more difficult in
:kneeling at Japan to drink their tea.
Most everyone was glad they could
go directly to sunny California from
cold and shivery Iceland. -:

light, he acknowledges, by the cor dial voluntary cooperation of the newspapers-he was, by means of film, photograph and news articles, able to contribute largely to the forming of the public opinion es- sential for the winning of the war.
 It cannot be said, however, that MT. Creel exactly shines as a tact ful diplomat. Like his leader, he is apt roughly to disregard the niceties of precedent and the -frills of the etiquette of controversy, and go right after the facts On one occasion he was very rude to Con- gress. Indeed, like a British states man who became famous because he shocked parliament by shouting Damn the consequences" it is pos sible that the head of the Bureau of Public Information will go down in history as Damn Congress Creel." |" Tremendous was the pressure ex- erted to pry him loose from his office, but, like MT. Britling, he was determined to see it through, and did so.
 MT. Creel came to California to recuperate, and he is resident in San Francisco for a time. It is exactly five years since last l met him and discussed the Cosmos, view :; ed from the cellar window of 2 Washington Square cafe, and either ne could not have been very poor in his health when he came here, or the air of San Francisco had worked wonders in his health, which he alleges, for he looks more youth ful than ever. I imagine that part of the resentment he aroused in Washington among the stolid stand patters was because of his apparent youth ..:

(By Charles Lapworth, in the San
 Francisco Bulletin.)

George Greet, because of the high position he held during the war, Is conceded to be 9 master of informa- tion. It was because of his knowl- edge. and his skill in pursuit of knowledge, that he was appointed by President Wilson as secretary of the Bureau of Public Information. The people of the United States had elected Wilson to the highest office in the land because, supposedly, "he kept us out of war" The chief task of informing them why they ought not to keep out of the war was entrusted to MT. Creel.
 To educate a whole nation at a time of great mental excitement, when so many other agencies were actively at work to keep the people too proud to fight, was no light re- sponsibility. But MT. Creel had been one of the first to observe thal with the Germans successful war was about 90 per cent ''massen- psychologie" and 10 per cent T. N. T. He had studied their methods of penetration by propaganda, and was able to offer improvements. He drafted into the service of his bu- reau some of the best brains in the country, and what that organiza- tion accomplished not only in in- forming America, but in penetrat- ing the enemy countries with facts that aided President Wilson to de stroy their morale, is one of the achievements of the war.

life the principle of the League of Nations is seen at work. The thir- teen colonies first conceived it when they agreed to confederate, and the sovereign states endorsed the propo- sition, and gave it permanence, when they ratified the Constitution of the United States.
 History furnishes a great deal of bitter amusement in this connec- tion, for every attack made upon the League of Nations today had its parallel in the attacks made upon the Constitution when it was adopt ed. When we read the politicians of that day it is as if we were listening to Lodge and Borah and Sherman. This proposed constitu- tion was too vague it destroyed the sovereignty of the individual states; ruin and disaster" was prophesied if the evil document be- came the law of the land.'
 Do you suggest, MT. Creel, that the well-known Americans you men, tion are. motivated only by party prejudices and are not discussing the League of Nations on its mer- its?" l asked.
 II reply to that" he said, ''by calling your attention to the fact that before the ink of the sigma lures to the league was dry, thirty i seven senators signed a resolution, drawn by Henry Cabot Lodge, de- claring that the constitution of the League of Nations in the form now proposed, should not be accepted by the United States
 l And not then. nor since, did any of them suggest a change or sub init an amendment. Senator Bran degee screamed that President Will son was preparing to inflict shame and disgrace upon the United States ] but not one senator, not one news paper opposed to the league, has put forward a single constructive suggestion. They have all confined themselves to blanket denunciation of President Wilson, his policies and his methods.
 No Vision of Future.
 Mir. Taft and MT. Root both contributed amendments that were given instant heed; but while crush ed peoples are searching for firm ground on which to rebuild theil lives, and stricken humanity beg: for some protection against the hor. TOTS of war, the majority of tht senate of the United States car think only in terms of 1920, anc can see in the League of Nation:
 only the credit that will accrue to 2
 Democratic president in the even
 of it's adoption. If that is no
 downright party prejudice, l don
 know what is."

Greet and the Critics

MAN WHO sTEERED PUBLIC oUINoN DURING THE WAR SCORES FOES WORLD coMPAcT-DEFENDs SHAN TlyNG VALLEY DEAL AS ONLY POSSIBLE SOLUTION OF DIFFICULT PRoBLEM-WIAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS?
The Nenana daily news., 1919-08-27

The Bulletin wanted the facts about the League of Nations. And as MT. Creel is fresh from France, and from close association with President Wilson and the American peace delegates, I asked him if he would be good enough to traverse some of the arguments that are advanced by the critics of the league and give the readers of The Bull letin some idea of what is likely to happen if the league is not ratified by the senate. The time is fast ap- preaching when, with the best of intentions, it will be difficult to get at the truth of things because of the heat and exaggeration of po- litical campaign, and anyone who can contribute real knowledge upon the momentous questions that have to be decided is rendering a public service.
 The impatience he exhibited with the critics was characteristic of Mr. Creel. His expression, not to speak of his explosives, showed that his Western ways remained absolutely unspoiled by the ways of Washing ton or the punctilios of the palace at Versailles. Evidently he does not believe that a higher crop average can be procured by calling spade an agricultural implement.
 Offer Only Attacks.
 "The most significant thing about l this whole discussion of the league he said, lis that the opposition is based entirely on attack. One searches in vain through the speech es of Knox, Borah, and Lodge, as we'll as through the editorials, for one single constructive suggestion, finding only the malignancies of criticism. After four years of war, the world turns revolted agains. the old way, that is now seen to be an evil way, and is resolved to find some new and better way. As people look into the sightless eyes of blinded thousands; as they watch the pitiful progress of men maimed out of all resemblance to humanity as they look upon the ravaged land scapes and nations brought to ruin and wretchedness, the realization oi what war means has been driven home to every heart, and there is 8 universal demand that an attempt be made to lift mankind above the level of the jungle beast, and find some other way of settling inter. national disputes than by the sub. marine, the bombing plane, poisor gas and liquid flame
 They are making a great deal ot the fact that at the dinner at the White House Wilson admitted ths League of Nations would not pre- vent war. Why, of course, he made the admission. The league is no 100 percent guarantee by an! means. All that is claimed for il is that it is an honest attempt tC reduce the danger of war to mini mum. But these people of the op position claim that unless there car be a guarantee that throughout al the future there will never be an other war again, then there is nc use in even making a single effor to do away with this evil
 Their whole doctrine is one O. despair and helplessness. All O. them profess to be for a league and all of them are for the princi pie, but not one single man or news paper among them dares to tell u what kind of a league they are for or how they will put this principl' into effect. They talk as if thi League of Nations were some sud

What was the appeal that went straightest to the heart of Ameri- ca? It was the declaration of Wood row Wilson that we were fighting war against war; that our purpose was less the redress of wrongs than, the solemn and fixed determination to lift the black shadow of militar- ism from the face of the world. Statesmen did not appear to grasp it because their trade had led them away from straight thinking. To the average American, however, there was nothing visionary about it.
