Great Aims of Treaty
Explained by Wilson

to arrange those things which had
been already arranged upon a com
petitive basis, upon a cooperative
basis.
You have heard of the covenant of
the league of nations, until, / dare
say, you have supposed that is the
only thing in the treaty. On the con-
trary there is a document, almost as
extensive, in the latter part of the
treaty, which is nothing less than
great charter of liberty for the work
ing men and women. One of the
most striking and useful provisions
of the covenant of the league of ma
tions is that every member of the
league undertakes to advance the
humane conditions of labor for
men, women and children, to
consider the interests of labor
under its own jurisdiction and
to try to extend to every nation with
ards of labor upon which it, itself,
insists, so that America, which has
by no means yet reached the stand
ards in these matters which we must
and shall reach, nevertheless, is the
most advanced nation in the world
in the respect of .the conditions of
labor. undertakes to bring all the
influences it can legitimately bear
upon every nation with which it has
any dealings, to see that labor there
is put upon as good footing as la
Dor in America.
In the covenant of the league there
is an elaborate arrangement for
periodic international conference in
the interest of labor. 1t provides that
that conference shall be called next
month in the city of Washington by
the President of the United States,
and the President of the United States
has already called it. We are wait
| ing to learn from the Senate of the
United States whether we can at
tend it or not. We can, at least,
sit and listen and wonder how long
we are going to be kept out of mem
bershir of this great humane en-
deavor.
To Coordinate Endeayors
This treaty attempts to co ordinate
all the great humane endeavors of the
world. 1t tries to bring under in
| tHrnatlona' CO. -Operation everv- pf-
tort to check international crime like
| that unsnpakab'c traffic in women.
like an almost equally unspeakable
traffic in children. 1t undertakes to
| wv III uruHS
! like opium, it organizes a new method
| OF cooperation among all the great
Red Gross societies Of the world
and, tell you, my fellow citizens.
that the simple Red Cross has come
to mean to the world more than il
ever meant before. Everywhere, in
the rcmotest rcccsscs of the world,
thp"p are neonle who wear that svm-
bol and very time | look at it | feel
like taking off my hat, as if l had
seen symbol of the worlds heart.
This treaty is nothing else than an
organization of liberty and mercy
for the world.
One of the interesting provisions of
the covenant of the league of ma
tions is that it is league of free,
independent peoples all over the
world. And when that great ar
rangement is consummated there is
not going to be ruler in the world
that does not take his advice from
his people.

Yale VIII Not Rename
Fields after Her Heroes

New Haven, Conn, Sept. TO-
The plan of naming any of Yale's
athletic plants after her war heroes,
who were conspicuous in under
graduate sports before they were
Killed, has been rejected, according
to the following official announce
ment made today by Prof. Clarence
w, Mendell, chairman of the athletic
board of control, ''The proposition
to name Yale field, the Yale track
and the Yale rowing course after the
three Yale champions. who were
killed in the war, Alexander D.
Wilson, John w. Overton, and
Albert d. Sturtevant, has been con-
sidered and definitely rejected in the
belief that this is not proper way
to honor these three men, whose
memory is held in such high respect
BY every Yale alumnus.

tion Machinery From Della
ware County Ring
100000 DREAM SPOILED

Control of the election machinery in
Chester and Delaware counties will be
vested in Governor Sproul through the
election of two candidates of the Re
publican League, the good government
organization, to county commissioner
ships.
These officers. sitting with other
Sproul adherents on this important
branch of Delaware county's govern
ment, will regulate future elections,
and see that the interests of the Sproul
organization are safeguarded.
Winning of these important posts,
together with that of register of wills,
compensates, leaders of the Republican
Ieague declared today, for the losses
suffered through the victorious assault
of the Mcclure "ring" forces at the
polls in Chester last Tuesday. Governor
Sproul is at his home, "Lapidea," just
outside of Chester, today looking over
the political situation, following the
primary election. His brother, S. Ev-
erett Sproul, is the leading spirit in the
Republican League of Delaware county.
Sproul Victors
The Sproul men who were elected as
county commissioners last Tuesday are
James NJ. Hamilton and Robert j.
Burley. Hamilton defeated William
Powell by a majority of 174S. Burley
defeated Jesse Pierson by 45S majority.
Pierson and Powell, both McClureites,
were seeking third terms and every ef-
fort of the Mcclure machine was made

In Delaware county the commission
ers appoint the registrars for registra =
tion of electors. election clerks and the
fixing of precinct boundary lines. They
have sole supervision over primaries and
general elections.
Sproul supporters were elated today
over the victory. At the headquar-
ters of the Republican League it was
said the next two years will show i'm
portant reforms in elections. The
league will maintain continuous head
quarters on Market street.
Ends Big Jail Dream
The defeat Of the Mcclure candidates
also puts an end to the hone of John j.
Mcclure of building 5000 900 county
Jail building. Tnc Sproul men were
elected on a platform pledging their
votes against such proposition.

city precincts reported, the defeat OF
Joseph Messick, Jr., the Mcclure can
didate for city treasurer, is assured.
Frank Paxson, his opponent, backed by
the Sprouts, has a majority of 202.
According to unofficial figures of the
city and county precincts, tabulated to-
day, James F. Redmond, deputy revenue
collector, candidate for the Democratic
nomination for county commissioner, has
defeated Thomas f. Feeley, present
commissioner. According to law, the
minority party is allowed one commits
sioner, thus Desmond Is virtually
elected. The vote was Desmond, 959
Feeley, $50. Feeley was seeking third
term.
Lose Home Districts
In Chester's primary not one Mcclure
candidate carried his home precinct
William T. Ramsey, the Mcclure winner
in the mayoralty race, lost his home
precinct. ."... .
Unless the official counting changes
the result, the mayoralty fight has beer
