the keeper. Gle will have a differ
ent story to tell. We must hear his
story, too"
So everyone listened to the story the
African pOrcupine had to tell; 1t was
little story of his own ideas and so
forth.
THAT Canadian porcupine," said the
African porcupine to himself, sis very
fussy.
'He doesn't care for the zoo. He
says it is so very fine where he comes
from up in Canada that he is very
homesicll. Now, l am not so fussy.
'My home is in Africa, as anyone
might guess or know or imagine be-
cause my name tells a good deal. At
least it tells two important things.
"The first one is that it tells that
[ come from Africa or that 1 am At
rican, which is the same thing, and
the second important thing that my
name tells is that l am porcupine.
"They name me well-the African
porcupine. It's good name, a good,

am and how l look, and quite a lot
about me.
Nov, little girls and little boys are
often so foolishly named. If they were
just called North American tall thin
boy, or South American short fat girl,
1t would be SO much easier.
"How is one to know anything from
the name of Sally, or Susie. or Kitty. or
Jane, or Donald, or John, or James
and Jack? When one speaks Of the
African pOrcupine one knows what is
being spoken about, but wher any
one speaks of a friend named Jack
/ have no idea!
"They may be speaking of a little
Thin girl with golden curls and blue
eyes or they may be speaking of a
Sery tall girl with black hair and
brown eyes. Or they may be speaking
of fat boy with red tie or thin
boy who is very, very tall and who has
"reckles.
Eyes, I have the right sort of
name, have, and I'm not in the least
fussy. I don't mind it here in the
ZOO in fact | like it, and l don't miss
Africa in the least, not in the least"
But the Canadian porcupine who
heard this said: africa isn't Canada,
though, and l do miss Canada and its
woods"

happy. Of course If l am helping the
zoo along and being of great interest,
I do not mind, but 1 do not care for
zoo life as l do for life Of freedom.
"Ah, what wanderings through the
woods 1 used to have" the Canadian
porcupine continued. 81 used to go
miles and miles along through dark
low fir tree forests. I used to live
so happily In the woods where people
so seldom came.
"And in the springtime when fishing
parties would camp In the woods, II
a dog bothered me l would soon punish
him.
"It is not true that I throw my
quilts, but if a dog barked at me and
tried to fight me well, he got punish
ed and you know how!
IT don't like these untrue stories
as the wind throws leaves around.
don't do that, but 1 can give away
some Of my quilts if l am frightened
or annoyed. That is perfectly true.
"In Canada, where there is beauti-
full country and where the forests are
very wonderful 1 think a porcupine
leads very happy life. Such free,
wild life, no bothersome society around
one all the time.
Here in the zoo folks come and talk
and the animals chatter and make such
a fuss. l like life which isn't So
cable, a wooded life, and I'm not go.
ing to pretend l like what l don't"
Now the Canadian porcupine said
all this to no one in particular, but
the speech was heard, just the same,
by good many of the animals, some
of the visitors, boys and girls and by
the keeper.
THAT is perfectly true" said the
keeper, and he told those who hadn't
been able to understand, just what it
was the porcupine had said.
"But l think the African porcupine
Is going to say something, too" said

women to be envious, but it is true
that men are also moved that way

vision for the safety of France
shall remain in force only until,
upon application of one of the
parties to it, the council of the
league, acting, If necessary, by a
majority vote, shall agree that the
provisions of the covenant of the
league afford her sufficient protec-
ton.
was moved to sign this treaty
by considerations which will, /
irresistible to you as they seemed
to me. We are bound to France by
ties of friendship which we have
always regarded, and shall always
regard, as peculiarly sacred. She
assisted us to win our freedom az
a nation. 1t is seriously to be
doubted whether we could have
won it without her gallant and
timely aid. We have recently had
the privilege of assisting in driv-
ing enemies, who were also enc
mics of the world, from her soil;
but that does not pay our debt to
her. Nothing can pay such a debt.
She now desires that we should
promise to lend our great force
to keep her safe against the power
she has had most reason to fear.
Another great nation volunteers
the same promise. 1t is one of the
fine reversals Of history that that
other nation should be the very
power from whom France sought
to set US free. A new day has
.dawned. Old antagonisms are for
gotten.
The common cause of freedom
and enlightenment has created
new conrad eships and a new per-
ception Of what it is wise and nee
essary for great nations to do to
free the world Of intolerable fear.
Two governments Who wish to be
members of the league OF nations
ask leave of the council Of the
league to be permitted.to go to the
assistance of friend whose situa-
ton has been found to be one OF
peculiar peril, without awaiting
the advice of the league to act.
It fs by taking such pledges as
this that we prove ourselves faith
full to the utmost to the high obli-
cations Of gratitude and tested
friendship. Such an act as this
seems to me one Of the proofs that
ke are a people that sees the true
heart Of duty and prefers honor to
its own separate course of peace.

Gentlemen of the Senate:

Gentlemen of the Senate:
I take pleasure in laying before
you a treaty with the republic of
France, the object of which is to
secure that republic of the imme-
diate aid of the United States of
America in case of any unpro-
voked movement of aggression
against her on the part of Ger
many. I earnestly hope that this
treaty will meet with your cordial
approval and will receive an early
ratification at your hands, along
with the treaty of peace with Ger
many. Now that you have had
an opportunity to examine the
great document I presented to you
two weeks ago, it seems oppor-
tune to lay before you this treaty,
which is meant to be in effect
part of it.
1t was signed on the same day
with the treaty of peace and is
intended as a temporary supple
ment to it. 1t is believed that the
treaty of peace with Germany it
self provides adequate protection
to France against aggression from
her recent enemy on the east; but
the years Immediately ahead Of US
contain many incalculable possf-
bilities. The covenant of the
league Of nations provides for
military action for the, protection
of its members only upon advice
of the council of the league-ad-
vice given, It is to be presumed,
only upon elaboration and acted
upon by each Of the governments
of the member states only If its
own judgment justifies such action.
The object, Of the special treaty
with France which now submit
to, you is to provide for immediate
military assistance to France by
the United States in case Of any
unprovoked movement of agrees
sion against her by Germany
without waiting for the advice of
the council of the league Of ma
lions that such action be taken. It
is to be an arrangement, not inde-
pendent of the league of nations.
but under. it.
It is. therefore, expressly pro-
vided that this treaty shall be
made the subject OF consideration
at the same, time with the treaty
of peace with Germany; that this
special arrangement shall receive
the approval of the council of the
league. and, that this special pro-
