SOLDIER FATORS ANY

C. 4. Palmer, G219 Reedland street.
said he had given the matter great con-
sideration and had studied and followed
the situation in the daily papers ever
since the league was suggested and he
did not favor the United States becom-
ing involved in European affairs or coun-
tries in that continent becoming mixed
up in affairs that are strictly Ameri-
can.
Philip Fermier. Il soldier recently dis
charged from Camp Lee, 2430 North

sibility Of putting an end to war And

Wallace Boehmer, Jackson street near
Bridge. had made no definite decision.
he said. but was inclined to favor the
league idea. because of the arguments
he had heard and read on the subject.
George Tebbs. 912 Brown street. said
he was convinced that the plan would
be a failure if put into operation. be-
cause, he said, there would be no
guarantee that one or more Of the ma
tions would not treat the agreement as
a scrap of paper And, besides. men,
bers Of the league might even enter
into an alliance with Germany TO de-
feat the other members, or the central
Dowers might form their own league in
opposition. making two strong camps
bound to engage each other in warfare
sooner or later.

1t would not prevent wars. The nation
with the greatest politicians and states
men would have controlling hnuence
on the league and manipulate Us man
dates for its own convenience. Euro
pean politics in the past gives 4 line
on the policy of the future. Secret al
liances would be formed. as even the
Allies did during the war, and secret
agreements entered into that would sure
ly involve other members of the league
in arguments in which only those with
chestnuts to pull from the fire would
be Interested.

Hundred Per Cent Americanism'

To the Editor Of the Epcning Public
Ledger:
Sir--1n recording my vote on the
question of the league Of nations. I am
very glad of the opportunity to cast
the same. AS 100 per cent American, I
am in favor Of the league of nations, as
proposed by our President, who I con-
slider voices the sentiments of all 100
per cent Americans. My reasons for
favoring the league as follows: As
progressive nation. asking no favors
from any other power or powers, we
nave outlived our childhood days, and
as we are recognized by the entire world
Tree nation of manly men which
were accepted by all the other powers in
the late frlghtful war. AS such a na-
ton we cannot stand still or retreat,
as one of our brother officers had told
French officer the word retreat is
not in the American language. We must
go get them and get them we will. It
has been proved that the whole world
needs us and we need them. The day
has arrived when the American manu-
facturer and working man must and
VII defy competitors. for we have brains
and ingenuity. and for pep We are more
than the other fellows equal. want
TO say that If the majority of 100 per
cent Americans will not accent our nres-
ent view on this question l. as an Amer
lean citizen, would be wiling to vote
Tor a form for league of nations. but
not for political prestige but as free
American citizen.

Tbougbtful People Admire Plan

To the Editor Of the Euenin0 Public
Ledger:
Sir-When President Wilson's plan of
the league of nations came into publicity
it won the admiration of the thoughtful
peoples of the world, and when the Euro
pean diplomats at first declined to ac-
knowledge the league as originally
drawn the confidence Of the people in
President Wilson was considerably
strengthened.
Now that the European powers have
agreed to form the league of nations,
why is 1t that even some Of the Presi-
dents supporters begin to doubt as to
the validity and honesty Of the league
My personal answer to this question
is that the people Of the United States
never trusted the European statesmen,
and as far as selfishness and greed Is
concerned they all belong to the same
class. The fact that these diplomats
are urging the recognition of the league
after having inserted clauses to please
their diplomatic aims casts a reflection
on the whole situation, giving way to
arguments against entangling alliances.

Will Protect Worlds Democracy

To the Editor Of the Evening Public
Ledger:
Sir--I wish to let you know how glad
am the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER Is
supporting SO thoroughly the league Of
nations plan. which we all hope will
prevent future wars and protect worlds
democracy. I was born in little Croatia,
which is, with the help Of this great
country, free from Austrian yoke and
autocracy and Is now united with their
brotherly Serbia and Slavonia in one
democratic state, known under one name
as Jugo-Slavia. In the time of war I
was doing my best to help win the war,
and now l am strongly in favor of the
league and think the league OF nations
without this great country would be a
scrap of paper. This Is the time We all
should stick together and support our
great President with all our might and
strength in making peace as we did in
making war.
Yours for league Of nations,

Step Toward Brotherhood
10 the Editor Of the Evening PNo"'
Ledger:

10 the Editor Of the Evening Public
Ledger
Sir-I favor the league of nations be-
cause IL is the only possible way to
minimize the possibility Of wars or 70
prevent them 1t is q step toward tnat
brotherhood of man which scripture
teaches but which man has not
lived. II does not interfere with our
sovereignty (Those that say 1t does 90
not believe It unless they are living III
the middle ages). It extends the prln.
ciples cf the Monroe Doctrine to al
the world We are not forming any
entangllng alliances but rather prevent
ing the selfish nations by International
agreement from forming such alliances.
We cannot prevent helping to solve the
European questions any more even II
we want to remain isolated. We tried
to keep out of this war. We are so
dominant and powerful and, at the
same time, so sincere and honest that
the whole world looks upon us to solve
the economic and political as well as
social questions We, of all nations. are
trusted because we are sincere and lib
erty loving. OF course the league OF
nations covenant may have defects, but
SO did every great state paper have. The
constitution has been amended eighteen
times and 1t was criticized just as vilely
as the covenant If men would play
less politics and be more patriotic, II
they would express the true feelings
of the heart and not a PARTISAN feeling
to get in the limelight they would not
have to still their conscience and ex-
press what no broad-minded man can
honestly believe. Give us a league of
nations and embody It in the peace
treaty and let Woodrow Wilson reap
some Of the glory he deserves while alive
because 1t will come to him from all
parties later on.
Thanks for your broad minded, liberal
editorials In behalf of the most impor-
tant and vital question of the present
century. H. B. HENRY.
