was contained in the much dis
cussed article 10.
Must Give Up Rights.
Article TO-" said the president,
speaks the conscience of the
world. 1t goes to the heart Of this
whole bad business"
1t was true, Mr.. Wilson said, that
every man surrendered part of his
sovereignty whenever he promised
to respect the rights of his neigh
bors, but he said he could see no
harm nevertheless in making such
a promise for the common good.
Pointing out that decisions by the
league council must be unanimous,
the president said that whatever
judgment was passed upon the
United States by the council must
have the concurrence of the United
States.
He added that of course the
American delegate on the council
would not act without instructions
from his government.
Referring to the economic pres
sure that would be brought to bear
on covenant breakers, the presi-
dent said economic pressure would
preclude the need of force.
Some delegations, the president
said, came to the Paris conference
with causes which were not cOnsid-
cred properly within the scope of
the peace conference. In that con-
nection he pointed out that under
article II any threat of war could
be investigated by the league
al present" said he. I'VE have
to mind our own business, but
under the covenant and the league
we can mind other peoples bust
ness"
Words Apply to Ireland.
There wasn't an oppressed people
anywhere, he said, that could not
get attention for its case under the
league. He did not mention any
oppressed people by name but
many of his hearers remarked that
they thought he spoke of the case
OF Ireland.
Referring to the Shantung settle
ment. the president pointed out
that Japan repeatedly had prom

China. He did not go into the sub
ject at length. however. but men
toned it in emphasizing that the
covenant would refuse to recognize
the validity of secret treaties.
Has Kept Promise.
The president said he could look
the mothers of the country in the
face proudly because he had kept
his promise to do all he could to
prevent any more war.
This league" he said, lis the
only conceivable arrangement
which will prevent our sending men
abroad again very soon"
Would Rather Be Shot.
Referring to the economic sec
lions, Mr.. Wilson said that if he did
wrong he would rather be shot
than be stood up for the Judgment
of mankind.
Explaining how the treaty freed
many small peoples, the president
said that Poland, for example, had
been given "a unity she could not

Indianapolis, Sept. president
Wilson, in the second address of his
countrywide speaking tour for the
peace treaty, told a crowd Of thou
sands here last night that the
American delegates had gone to
Paris with a definite errand and
had accomplished it.
He said that no one believed the
League of Nations would make all
wars impossible, but that he ex-
pected it to make war violently
improbable"
Calling on opponents of the
League of Nations to present
better program" for peace, Presi-
dent Wilson asserted it is a case
Of put up or shut up.
He made a plea for acceptance Of
the treaty because he said it gave
new platform for world affairs.
The president arrived from Co
lumbus, where he made the first
speech of his tour yesterday morn
ing at O'Clock. He went at once
to the fair grounds, where a crowd
that filled to overlooking the coli
scum, with a seating capacity of
president began speaking at S:15
he was given an ovation.
Crowd Cheers 10 Minutes.
James P. Goodrich, Republican
governor Of Indiana, In a brief ad-
dress welcoming the president.
said everyone wanted a, better un-
derstanding among the nations, but
that every true American citizen
also favored a strong nationaIism.
He pleaded for all parties to lay
aside parCisanship in deciding the
issues of the peace treaty.
When the governor mentioned
that the meeting was to hear the
president, the crowd cheered for
several minutes. and the governor
could only stop them by presenting
Mr.. Wilson.
1t was 10 minutes before the
crowd was quoted and the presi-
dent proceeded. He traced the in
cidents from which the great war
started, saying the significant cir
was that Austria and
Germany did not dare to discuss"
the demands made on Serbia. 1t
generally was admitted abroad, he
asserted. that if there had been
there would have been
no war.
This fact. he said, recalled that
the part of the League of Nations
the agreement not to
go to war for nine months after a
became acute, had not
been considered at all by those who
criticise the league.
If there had been nine days"
said the president. Germany would
not have gone to war"
1t was a solemn pledge to those
who fought the war. said the presi-
dent. that there should be such an

wars.

MORE STUDENTS
THAN EVER ARE
ON new ROLLS
Chief Increase In Rock Island
School Attendance Noted at
High School building.

Rock Island public schools have
a greater number of pupils en-
rolled this year than ever before
in the history OF this community.
Superintendent E. c. Fisher an
nounced yesterday that there were
4,572 pupils in the various public
school buildings throughout the
city and that probably over a hun
dred more would register before
the end of the week.
If this increase in the number Of
than in 1918 and 357 more than in
1917, there being 4408 pupils in
1918 and 4,215 in 1917.
This report, which should have
been compiled on Wednesday. was
delayed until yesterday as the su-
perintendent's phone was out of
order and special messengers had
to be relied on to bring the reports
into the office.
Ii this icrease in the number of
students continues tor very long
some provision will have to be
made to take care of them as all
of the schools were fairly well
crowded last year.
Soldier Boys Return.
Where the increase is the great
est and where it is most felt is in
the high school. 1t is expected that
the Rock Island high school regis
tration will reach close to eight
hundred. This large increase in
the number of high school students
can be attributed in part to the
fact that many boys quit school
in order to go to work during the
war and are now coming back.
