to Oscar was generally known, al
I least among the younger people OF
the town, but as they had pledged
themselves not to tell. it was kept
a secret from her parents. She
now began to take a more active

and being the acknowledge belle
soon regained her former populari'

NOW 1t is proposed in the interests
VI peace to remove still farther from
the people the power to say whether
OF not there shall be peace or war
Inc public voice is silenced entirely
There is at the present time in some
countries at least, like cur own q
partial check on the part of the mo-
pie But the power to engender fo-
ment and order or bring about a con
ultlon OF war is now to be placed in
the hands of five men. nine at the
most, over whom the people have and
! Will nave absolutely no control mo
check. Not only are these men IN
nave the actual authority under the
League to bring on war, but nv lati-
tudinous and unrestrained discretion
tney are TO be placed in a position
"here they can foment or through
Ignorance or design engender a war
at any time, and the masses of the
people are helpless except to openly
rebel and to utterly disregard the OBJ
lgation of the League. If the
League is to be lived up to. if the
contract into which it is proposed
that we enter be observed, then these
men will have under their absolute
control the issue of peace or war.
Inc proposed CONSTITUTE creates
nrst an executive council composed in
the beginning of the representatives
from i've great nations and the rep
resentation of four other nations to
be added. If majority is to control
then three in the first instance and
i've in the last would control the
council. In any event nine men
would control the Council. This
Council is authorized to deal with any
matter within the sphere of action of
the League "or affecting the peace of
the world" And Article XI provides
that war or threat of war" whether
Immediately affecting any of the high
contracting parties or not, is hereby
declared a matter of concern to the
latter, and the high contracting par
ties reserve the right to take any ac-
ton that may be deemed wise and eff
fectual to safeguard the peace of ma
tions. So we have for its jurisdiction
everything affecting the peace of the
world and everything which threatens
war, whether these things come from
members of the League or from other
nations. The issue of peace or war of
the whole world is therefore within
the easy reach of the jurisdiction of
the League.
Now as an illustration, let us take
Article X. The high contracting
parties undertake to respect and pre-
serve against external aggression the
territorial integrity and existing po-
litical independence of all members of
the League. This is a solemn, uncon-
ditional guarantee not only to re-

NO DEMOCRACY in THE LEAGUE"
SAYS SENATOR W. E. BORAH

rso following article was pub
u recently in the Christian Sci
Dsle" Monitor. Boston, Mass, and is
ence from en- address by Senator w.
Borah. In it are many points
.u worth considering from al un-
We'd sss standpoint.-Editor)
The safest guarantee of peace is the
.anlar voice. II league or an al
pUpo.c paa can be formed under which the
IsnS nIe are given control of the su-
PeSr Ps,no issue of peace or war it will be
s.rhstantial step toward lasting
.ace But all plans which leave
a peaO,ue ,ssue in the hands of a few men
.s rnobeckod and unrestrained by the
aanular command are but the repro
Ssurtion of the old system under which
Tnrone has been tortured and decim-
a,ad for three centuries. Give the
mochinery by which you are to pre-
,.s rsnt war over to the ultimate domin-
snce % of the people if you hope for re-
sults in the cause of peace.
Tbis fearful war which has Just

,os of Europe For three decades a
,sw men entrusted with unrestrained
nower in foreign affairs falsified and
deceived as in the Morocco affair, and
schemed and conspired as in a multi
tude of incidents, until official Europe
was saturated with suspicion and
jealousy and hate. The situation was
ALLOW for the incident in Bosnia and
he sinister move Of an unconscionable
and ambitious ruler bent upon world
dominion. The people upon whom
the fearful sacrifice was to fall were
uowerless either in Germany or else
where to check or stay the onrushing
trend of events. Their interests were
not considered and their wishes were
wholly disregarded. A few men sit
ting behind closed doors, entrusted
with the power of life and death over
their fellows, some through ignor-
ance, some from design, drove
straight for this cataclysm of suffer-
ing and death. Secrecy and heredity
deceit and ambition played their wild
game, and the masses waited unin-

H ENEMY ON LAND.

Mr.. J. S. Strachey, editor of the
Spectator (London), once IN advocate
of the drink traffic, has since the be-
ginning of the war made prohibition
the policy of his paper. In a recent
public address he told this story:
"A city, though its armies were vic
t~orious, was in dire straits for food.
Strict search was made to see that
nothing that could be used for food
should be wasted, and 10, a great store
of barley and sugar was found. And
the general thanked God that they
were saved. There was enough barley
and sugar to enable them to hold out
till the re.victualling that was sure
to come In a few months. The bar
ley, mixed with corn, would make ex-
cellent bread and the sugar would
save the children.
"tAlas,' said the civil authorities,
'all this barley and sugar must be
turned into beer; we dare not touch
it,
"The general, who was a simple sol
der and did not understand politics,
was angry. This is a town of sane
people, not a lunatic asylum, nobody
can be allowed to turn into beer what
might be made into bread and so save
the people,
But it was even so. The city fell
and the conquerors drank the beer?'
Mr.. Strachey hammered his point
home with these words:
"The proper thing to do, the straight
thing to do, the only honorable thing
to do, is to stop the brewers and give
the people bread. With famine facing
the world, the government must stay
the food destroyers on land as well as
on sea, if we are to have victory"
