A GREAT MORAL PROBLEM

beginning his address at Convention Hall
- last night Dr.. Burris Jenkins insisted that
he desired it to be known that first Of all he
is a preacher and that he intended to preach
sermon on a great moral problem Then he
proceeded to preach a sermon in defense Of the
league Of nations covenant His sermon con-
sumed nearly two hours in delivery, but at
that it was not half so long as were some Of
the sermons delivered by Jonathan Edwards
in old New England; and the audience in Ard
more and 1919 really felt that DR.. jenkins
preached too short a sermon for everybody
appeared to want more Of the same.
The jenkins utterance was both a sermon
and an Grafton. 1t was a mastery argument
by a master Of the subject. DR.. Jenkins knows
what the league covenant says and what it
means, what the creation of the League of
Nations will mean to the world Of the future,
and what motives prompt the enemies Of the
league and the treaty Of which it is a necessary
part He knows, and he so stated at the out
set, that this is not political problem, but a
moral one. He contended for the league cove
nant as ethical, humane, patriotic and progress
sive. Though he preached, he did not preach
fy his words conveyed no creed-cant, but they
hurled thunderbolts Of righteous wrath against
those who would have the United States Of
America withdraw into a shell and refuse to
fulfill its solemn pledges, and then have the
shell cracked by the artillery Of enemies who
undoubtedly will attack this country unless
America becomes a member Of a league Of free
nations to keep the peace Of the world and es-
tablish justice.
Not the slightest hint Of partisanship was
manifested in the address of DR.. Jenkins. His
conception of the league issue is that Of one
whose broad-mindedness makes him superior
to the petty politician who takes one side or
the other merely because he is, or imagines
himself to be- democrat or a republican. He
answered all objections to the league in a dig
nified manner with common-sense arguments
calculated to convince the average human in
telligence that the League of Nations is the
only plan Of salvation for the world before the
nations at present His peroration, in which
he showed how the league will minimize the
probability of war instead of contributing
thereto, was a masterpiece of eloquence
Ardmore likes Dr. Jenkins immensely.

But with the rapid exhaustion Of ores

hearth furnace, which can usa with
equal success ores which contain either
a large or small amount of phospho-

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Protection for

fected il foreign crews were permit
ted to bring in products at less than
