ct moaht Ciemens News Bureau. St Louis. Displaying high confidence that his fellow-citi. sens In the great majority agree with him in his desire to end war forever. snd that they will see to 1t that the peace treaty with it's League of Ma lions, inclusion Is ratified by the Sen. ate. President Wilson Is making s l successful way across the country on the long journey he has undertakea for the purpose of laying before the plain people report of his work in Paris and explaining to them just what the League means.
 Thus far in his travels he has ey- anywhere met with warm greetings. both in the great halls where he has spoken formally and in the little oroes-road hamlets where his train has halted at times and he has ex. changed words with the villagers who prsssed forward to greet him. He feels. and does not hesitate to say 80 when chatting with his travelling com panions. that theI American people want no moro of war and want to be. come part of the League so that there may be no mora war. He struck his keynote whom he said in his first ad- dress, in Columbus, O.:
 This treaty was not intended merely to end this single war. It is meant as a notice to every govern. mont who in the future will attempt this thing (what Germany attempted) that mankind will unite to infict tho same punishment. There is no ns tional triumph to bs recorded in this treaty. There is no siory sought foy any particular nation. The thought of the statesmen collected around that table was of their people, of the sut. .esrfnss they had gone through, of the iQasss taey Sd Sd incurred, Of that grcat hreb6lnS heart, ~hleh vSs io forlorn i9 sad is every memory it had of the fx4 trsroei ysess shst hay. Eope by Lot us nStsf f6fSst those ySars, my feflow-eOuntrymen: lot us never for s>t the purpose. high and distinter estsd. with which America lent its strength, not for its own story By the defense Of mankind.
 "As I said. tAis treaty was not ia tezdsd merely to end this war. It 1aS inteadsA to prevent any similar var wonder if some of the oppp meats of the I1sAsus of Nations have forgotten the promises we made our peOSas hst0rs ws went to that peace tAbis. We had taken by process ol iaW the flower of our youth from ev sRy countryside. from every house 1 held. and ws told those mothers and htAsrs and sistsrs and wives an1 sw>sthsArts that we were taking thoss men te light . war which would sad husinsss of that sort, and if ws do As< cad it. if ws de not do the best that human concert of action caa do to end 1t. we are of sli mon the meat unfaithful-ths most unfaithfui 1 ts the loving hearts who suffered h tAIs war. the most uaialthtu! to those households bowed iA Grsf and yet Afssl with the fssiins that the Id laid down his life for . great thing. and, among other things, in order that othsS lads might never have to I ds the same thing.
 "That iS what the League of Ma. ton is for-to end this war justly and then net merely ts serve notics on governments which could contem. E!Ats tho same things Germany con tSnDiatsd that they will do 90 at thslf peril But also concerning the combination of power which will prove to thsm that they will do it at their peril. It Is idle to say the worlds will combine against you: but it is persuaslvc to say the worlds fs combined against you. The League of Nations is the only thing that can proven: the recurrence of this dreai. ful catastrophe and redeem our prom. ises"
 A League of Nations would have prevented the late conflict, the Presi. dent asserted, explaining:
 "I did not meet single public man who did not admit three things l That Germany would not have gone into this war If she thought Great Britain was going into 1t, and that she most certainly would never have gone into 1t had she dreamed America was going Into 1t. and they all admit that nation beforehand knowing that tho greatest powers of the worli would combine to prevent this sort If thing would prevent it absolutely"
 Applause and cheers greeted each declaration of the President that wars might be avoided in future " the ope- rations of the League.
 He pointed out other importan. features of the peace treaty-how i, was the redemption of weak nations giving them freedom which otherwise they never could have won. How i, hays: These people have right to i've their own lives under govern
