LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey VIII
Also Have to Prove Trustworthy
Before They viii Be Admitted
to the League.

Paris.-Germany Austria, Bulgaria
and Turkey cannot be admitted TO the
league of nations at the present Hlhe'
but they should be allowed to JOIN as
soon as the league is satisfied that
they are entitled to be ranked among
the trustworthy nations of the world
This is the opinion expressed by
Lord Robert Cecil, who has just
turned over to the printer the brltIsh
plan for the league of nations, when
will be submitted to the peace CON
gress.
Lord Robert declared that THE
league should be observation-disclosures all
trustworthy nations, since it is for the
good of humanity
Asked for a definition of trust
worthy" Lord Robert replied that in
the case of Germany one criterion
would be in the establishment OF
government free from military doml-
nance. This would be a guarantee OF
trustworthiness. 1t was obvious, he
pointed out, that Germany could not
be admitted until she had brought Or
der out of the present chaos and the
complexion of the new government
seen.
In Austria the situation was quite
different from that in Germany ana
split up by revolution, while Germany
thus far has held together, continued
Lord Roberts, and it appeared probable
that number of separate states would
develop from the Austrian empire.
Here, as in the case of Germany"
he said, stable and trustworthy gov
ernments must be established. But
there is no reason why the various
states should not come in when they
show themselves fitted to do so, ire

What Doctor Pierce Has
Done for Humanity
BY DOCTOR GRIPS.

It has always seemed to me that DR..
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, should be placed
near the top when a list of America s
great benefactors is written. He studied
and conquered human diseases to a de-
gree that few realize. Whenever he found
a remedy that overcame disease, he at
once announced it in the newspapers and
told where it could be bought at small
price. He did not follow the usual custom
of keeping the ingredients secret, so that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name of
each root and herb he used. And so today
the names of'Dr. Pierce and his medicines
are widely known, and they stand for bet
ter heath and better citizenship.
One of this great physicians most sue.

who takes thsm feel like a new man or

hard, decayed and poisonous matter that

the very thing your system requires to

To be possessed of a head Of heavy
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
matter of using little Danderine.
It is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, flufiiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks uses
when you will see new hair-fine and
downy at first-yes--but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer Of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair Mt once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really Is, moisten cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

forms of bad government a foreign
military government is unanimously
condemned as the worst. Irish ma
tionalists, with all the irresistible rea-
sons shown in this statement to guide
them, and with foreign military des-
potism in actual operation over them,
could not do other than regard with
scorn professions they knew to be
false, and were bound to assert their
right, If only to let the world see how
false the professions were. They
would have been unworthy of free

right of inquisition exists to require a
nation on re-entering the society of
Independent states to declare her in

any such declaration before power had

harmonious amalgamation is certain
as soon as her power to keep them
apart is eliminated. Hence she
stakes all upon her present efforts to
keep the Irish divided. We look with
confidence for complete amalgamation,
prosperity and happiness as a result
of independence, and security for its

9. Ireland Is entitled to the right,
common to nations and persons. of
self-preservation against England's
policy of determination. This ele-
mentary right is too self-evident to
need argument. A nation or individ-
ual that had not the right of self
preservation had no right whatever.
All other rights are embodied in that.
If it were conceivable that this peace
congress would acQuiesce in a policy
of determination and destruction, it
might well be said that there was no
such thing as international law, be-
cause the saving of nation from de-
struction would be one of the primary
functions of such law. The urgency
of the need for its exercise arises
from the continuance of England's
policy and the imminent extinction of
the Irish nation in Ireland if that con-
tinuance is tolerated. This supreme
danger the nation Is now determined
to resist. It believes it still possesses
sufficient power, but without interna-
tional Intervention the struggle might
be long and destructive. In any event,
better even rapid extinction in a
worthy fight than the stealthy extinc-
ton planned by England. That is the
situation.
10. Ireland has rightly re-asserted
her right in armed insurrection in
1916. In the great war, which, accord
ing to England. was to free the world
from military government, no bellig-
erent state on either side can, and no
neutral state will desire to dispute the
proposition which has been made q
text for the war, and the most power

that the benefits most certain to re
suit from the war were the elimina.
ton of militarism as a permanent
system of government, and the indie
pendence and future security of small
oppressed nations. See, as a speci
