Nations Must Sacrifice
Private Aims to Make
New League Successful

National sacrifices will be neces-
sary in framing organic laws of the
league of nations, diplomats declared
yesterday in commenting on the
leagues constitution.
Unanimous diplomatic opinion was
that the constitution is clear cut
compromise between the broadest
idealism and the grossest materialism
that has been displayed at the peace
table
The constitution is a vehicle which
is satisfactory to every allied nation"
asserted a leading entente repre-
sentative. 'and the test of the We
hicle will come when thea interpre-
tation of the constitution is set down
in the league laws"
The powers see no opposition to
their various ambitions in the con-
stitution. Italy believes the treaty of
London giving her Adriatic superior
ity will stand the test. France sees no
danger for her demands for protec-
tion against danger OF future German
aggression from across the Rhine.
japanese diplomats still are shy re-
garding mandatory power" but they
feel that their chief point for recog-
milton as a world power has been
won.
Satisfaction was expressed at the
British Embassy on the completion
of the pact, the work being consid-
cred there more or less the joint
triumph of the United States and
Great Britain.
Representatives OF the smaller ma
tions stated that their problem Is to
get a proper hearing of their aspira-
tions In the formation OF the leagues
laws

DONTTEXPERIMENI
WITH CATARRH

breath you take IS difficult,
when the throat and nose are
so clogged up with offensive
mucus that you are constantly
hawking and splitting in an ef-
fort to clear your nostrils,
every effort you make to get
relief by the use of sprays and
douches is promptly followed
by new accumulations, so that
no headway whatever is made
toward getting rid of the dis
ease.
Realize that the Catarrh
comes from germ which in
tests the blood. and that the
disease cannot exist when these
germs are routed from the
blood. The rational and sue
cessful treatment, therefore, is
one that reaches the blood, and
cleanses it of every trace of
Impurity and rids it of these
tiny Catarrh germs. Of course
no local remedies can reach the
blood supply, and that is why
Catarrh is not cured by sprays
and lotions.
The one great blood remedy
that has made wonderful rec
ord is S. S. S., which has been
on sale by drug stores every
where for over half century.
IF you would be rid of your
Catarrh, get a bottle of this
great old remedy today, which
will give you satisfactory re-
suits, as 1t has IN so many
cases. You will find that you
are on the right treatment at
last. as S. S. S. will do for you
what it has for thousands of
others. Start taking S. S. S.
today, and write a complete
description of your case to our
head physician. who will give
you all necessary instructions
by return mail. without charge.

that vicinity book made up of thin
leaves Of beaten gold, held together
By rings after the fashion of our
modern loose-leaf records. As de-
scribed by the finder. and by others
to whom they were shown, these
golden leaves or plates were engraved
with fine characters having all the
appearance Of ancient and curious
workmanship.
The engraved plates had been laid
away with care and attention to
preservation; for, when uncovered,
they were found, together with GER
tain other antique objects, resting in
a small vault or box of stone. The
box in which they lay" wrote Joseph
Smith. '-was formed by laying stones
together in some kind Of cement In
tbe bottom OF the box were laid two
stones crossways OF the box. and on
these stones lay the plates and the
other things with them" The top
slab or lid Of the box was thick
and rounding in the middle on the
upper side, and thinner towards the
edges, SO that the middle part of it
was visible above the ground. but the
edge all around was covered with
earth"
As subsequent examination proved,
the craven characters were Of the
Egyptian type. and the writing con-
stituted a history of the aboriginal
peoples Of the Western Continent. OF

in several of the more primitive

people as Cumorah and currently
called Mormon Hill" by the people

League Wilson's Idea,
"And He Put 1t Over"
Is View of French

Paris, Feb. 15.-ln contrast with the
sunshine and acclaim of his arrival
President Wilson left Paris unosten-
tatonsly last night in a downpour
Of rain. But the feeling prevailed in
official circles today that he had ac-
complished, in completion of the
league Of nations organization, one OF
the greatest personal triumphs in his
tory. The league was his idea, it was
pointed out, and he put it over"
President Poincare, the entire
French cabinet; Gen. Pershing and
other civil and military officials, were
at the Invalides station to bid Presi-
cent Wilson farewell The station
was decorated with flowers and fiaSs.
French Ambassador Jusserand and
Capt. andre Tardieu accompanied the
Presidential party on the special train
to Brest.
The last hours of the Presidents
stay in Paris were turbulent, If the
surt>>e ripples in the plenary session
at. the Quai d'Orsay, yesterday after
noon. were any indication Of what
took place underneath. First, there
was Senator Bourgeois insistence. on
behalf of the French, that further
consideration should be given guar

Although he did not specifically
mention the French proposal for an
international police force, he did cite
the special dangers faced by France.
Belgium, Serbia and the newly estab-
hshed nations in Central Europe. The
Prince of Hedjaz protested against
the secret treaty between France and
Great Britain providing for division

loudly interposed and demanded that
the premier's remarks be interpreted

OF, Ephraim and Manasseh, and there
fore of the family of Joseph, son of
Jacob. With this fact in mind, the
thoughtful student finds profound
significance in the otherwise obscure
words of Ezekiel (37:15-2O): 'Thc
word of the Lord came again unto
me, saying Moreover, thou son of
man, take thee one stick, and write
upon IL, For Judah, and for the
children of Israel his companions,
then take another stick, and write
upon IL, For Joseph, the stick of
Ephraim. and for all the house of
Israel his companionsi And Join
them one to another into one stick;
and they shall become one in thine
hand.D
Plainly the record OF Judah, which
we recognize as the Holy Bible, was
to be supplemented by the record of
Joseph; and the bringing forth of the
latter was to be effected by the di-
rect exercise of Divine power, for the
Lord said, OF will take the stick of
Joseph; and of the two He averred
they shall be one In mine hand,S
even as the prototypes had become
one in the hand of Ezekiel.
II the testimony OF scholars as to
Biblical chronology be reliable, Lehi
and his colony had already crossed
the great waters and become well
established in America when Ezekiel
voiced this significant prophecy con-
cerning the stick" or record of
Joseph as being distinct from that of
Judah. The prediction has been full
filed. The Holy Bible and the Book
of Mormon, the records of Judah and
Joseph respectively, are before the
world. each attesting the authenticity
of the other, and each standing as
an irrefutable testimony of the atom
ing life. death, and resurrection of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
A century and a half earlier, Isaiah
had cried wo unto Ariel, the City
Of David; and had made distinction
between Judah who then occupied
Ariel or Jerusalem, and another peo-
pie with whom comparison Is made.
Note the prediction: "And thou shalt
be brought down, and shalt speak
out of the ground, and thy speech
shall be low out of the dust, and thy
voice shall be, as of one that hath
n familiar spirit, out of the ground,
and thy speech shall whisper out
Of the dust" lisa. 29:4.)
The nation thus brought down"
has spoken "out of the ground: her
speech has come forth "out of the
dust; for the original of the Book
Of Mormon was actually taken out
OF the ground. and the voice of the
sacred record is as that of one speak
ing from the dust of the past.
