Social Democrats Urge
Support Of Peace Treaty
CIV Associated Pressl


NEW YORK, May 15-An appeal for
support of the peace treaty which is
declared to be in accord with Presi-
dent Wilson's fourteen points and to
solve 'intelligently and humanely"
many world problems, was issued to-
day by the Social Democratic League
of America. The league, which is des-
cribed as the socialist organiza ton
which supported the war" is headed
by Allan L. Benson, socialist candi-
date for president in 1916, John Spar
go, Mrs. Charlotte Parkins Gilman,
Charles Edward Russell, William Eng
lish Walling and J. G. Phelps Stokes.
The appeal declares that the peace
conference in few months has car
ried us further along the road to in,
| ternational democracy than we have
travelled in a thousand years" and
calls on all American socialists and
democrats to support the peace
treaty and the lea que of nations. After
stating that some urgent problems
are dissolved by the peace treaty the
appeal continues:
eve have always taught that mel
Their world peace nor industrial demo
cracy can be secured except in pro
portion as international democracy is
realized. This treaty is not merely
step, it is a leap forward in that
direction. The fate of the world
henceforward lies in the hands Of the
democratic nations"

city may not believe it his duty to before the
convention and welcome it." 1t seems unfair to
punish city because its chief executive is liable
to censure, but in the nature of the case Chicago
could not expect that her decision to elect the
present mayor would not make her responsible
before the world, in measure at least, for the
utterances and actions of the man before and
during the war.
The causes for the decision Of the World War
veterans existed before Chicago reelected him
not long ago, so that his elevation to office, elm
mating the political blunders that were made by
his opponents during the campaign, might be ac-
cepted as an endorsement of his utterances by the
community. It seems unfair to stigmatize Chi
cago because of its mayor, for this great city sent
its quota of men into the service and did gallant
work in the other tasks essential to winning the
war.
The action of the World War veterans shows
plainly that the American people no longer will
let go unchallenged affronts to its dignity and to
the causes to which it has pledged its men and
money. Therein lies the real meaning of the re-
proach. 1t proves that new conception of the
Importance of our national principles has taken
hold of the American people and that they in
tend to make individuals and communities appre-
ciate their worth.

Sometimes these giants were left

Boy Scout Week

Citizens Of Richmond are sufficiently well ac-
quainted with the purposes of the Boy Scouts to
obviate long discussion Of the merits of the
organization Members of the Richmond troops
were called on repeatedly during the war to as
sist in the execution of patriotic missions, which
they performed in a manner commendable to
themselves and contributory to the high duty of
helping win the war.
Not all the boys Of Richmond are identified
with the movement. It is estimated that of the
10000 900 boys in the United States between the
ages of IL and 81 only $4,000 enrolled as
members of the Boy Scouts Of America. 1t is
safe to conclude that the same proportion Of nom
members exists in Richmond. Boy Scout week,
June to Ia, is dedicated to the task Of enlisting
millions of lads in the organization and of i'm
pressing the American people with the value of
the movement
Boy Scouts receive valuable training in ply
steal development and in the truths of good citi-
zenship and loyalty. Their leaders are men of
worth and tested judgment in the community,
men who have devoted part of their time to the
indoctrination of the youth with the best prin-
ciples of Americanism. Their devotion to the
boys and to the Boy Scout movement is as COM
mendable as their work is fruitful of good re-
suits. It may be measured in higher type of
citizenship that will follow their instructions.
Parents may entrust their growing boys to
the leadership of these men without hesitation
and permit their entrance into the Boy Scout or
ganization. The movement proved its right to
exist during the stress of the war. It's develop
ment in new era of peace should be common

CECILIA

Cecilia. signifying blind, is said
to be derived from Coolies Viven-
ma, an Etruscan general who named
the Coelian hill and Coelian gems.
The woman OF this family were Civ
en- the name of Cello or Celia. In
Venice the latter became Zlia and
Ziliola, which are often found to
belong to the noble ladies who were
the wives of the Doges. At Naples
the name became Liliola.
The Irish have adopted it as Sre
or Sheelah. Celie and Celia are used
both in France and England, prob
ably under some mystic notion of
the connection with heaven, whose
Latin name is Caelum. It is said
that the prevalence of Celia in Eng
lish towns is due partly to the pop
ularity Of the Irish Sheelah and
partly to a confusion with Cecilia.
Perhaps the best known bearer
Of the name Cecilia was that gentle
saint who has-Iurnished inspiration
for painters throughout the centu-
ries. st. Cecilia was one of the early
christians martyred at Rome in go.
She is said to have converted her
husband. also afterwards martyred.
despite the fact that she was forced
10 marry him after she had taken
a vow of celibacy. She is considered
the patron saint Of music, particu-
Iarly sacred music, and legend has
II she played SO beautifully that
she drew the angels from heaven. It
is in this capacity that she has
usually been pictured.
Cecilia's talismanic stone is a moss
agate. It is generally worn as an am
ulet rather than as a piece of dec
orative jewelry. and indeed. in re
cent years the demand for It has
been enormous in SOudan where
such talismans are fashioned.
Cecilia's lucky day is Tuesday,
and two is considered her lucky
number.
