THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

From Paris comes news that the expected
amendment OF the dsaft Of the constitution for
the League of Nations is undergoing such
amendment as will meet objections raised to il
in America. That this is true need surprise
none. While certain elements Of our people set
up great shout that the solution had been
reached, and demanded that the tentative form
OF the covenant be accepted without question,
others insisted on sober considerations, and the
outcome was the discovery of such flaws as
made certain that it would be unacceptable, not
only to Americans, but to other nations equally
involved
Such objections were not brought forward
in frivolous way, nor because, as was so
vehementy charged, of hatred" for the pres-
dent. They arose from calm, dispassionate con-
sideration of the plan and hold only the sane
conclusions of able men, accustomed to COM
pletely analyze and thoroughly weigh all mat
tiers submitted for consideration. 1t was pa
triotism and not partisan bias that induced these
men to express in concise form the obvious
weaknesses of the suggested covenant To have
it corrected so that it will be more explicit, to
have definitely set out what only could be read
into the document, implied and not expressly
stated, certainly will not harm or hinder its ap-
plication, but should be welcomed by its hys-
tercal advocates as of assistance in making it
effective
Internationalism has not yet taken such hold
on the popular mind of America or any other
country as to make possible its broad applica-
ton to present day conditions. The League of
Nations, to be- effective, must come with some
recognition of those fundamental differences
that exist and on which the lines between ma
tons clearly are differentiated. More than mere
geographical or political boundaries is involved
in this, and experience has proven that pro-
pinquty does not always remove these diver
gences of ideals and aspirations.
No nation in all the world is opposed to
peace and the devout wish of humanity is that
it be enduring. For this reason men are willing
to venture on untried policies, to turn into new
ways, that they hope will bring them the boon.
To ask that some of the lessons of human ex-
perience be recalled, or that we do not entirely
abandon all we have learned in the way of social
or political wisdom will not greatly aid in the
quest. Nor will Woodrow Wilson suffer in
prestige as a benefactor Of mankind because
others perhaps as wise as he insist on having
word to say in connection with the conditions
under which we are to live.

Germany Pushing to the East.

Captains of commerce in America and
Europe are we'll aware of the efforts the Ger
mans are making to restore their industries and
revive their commerce. What has been of chief
est concern is the direction that would be taken
by the German trade push. 1t now develops
that "Drang noch Osten" ("Push to the East')
still prevails; it will not be with the Npomp and
circumstance of military conquest followed by
lordly group of established tradesmen, but
vigorous, determined attempt to organize and
systematic the trade of peoples disturbed by
war, and to supply their needs with manufac-
tured goods.
Trade Commissioner Norman L. Anderson,
stationed at Stockholm, reports to the Depart
ment of Commerce on the preparations under
way in Germany for the conquest of these fields
for business. 1t is not only their neighbors in
the eastern part of Europe that the German
manufacturers and exporters plan to serve, but
they are going across into Asia. In Turkey
they hope to organize agriculture and industry
on such basis as will bring added profit and
prestige to themselves
These efforts are but natural. The Germans
seemingly realize the fierce competition they
will have to face in "the war after the war;" and
are eetunS READY lor IT, lhey accept the TACT
that the years of penetration" in American
markets, north and SOUTH are lost to them,
while African and eastern Asiatc trade is also
out of their reach for the present. Therefore
they waste time in sending good money
after bad, but turn to conveniently accessible
region, wherein they can meet competitors on
terms favorable to themselves.
Pushing to the east will be easier for the
German with sample case in his hand than it
was when he wore ''pickelhaube" and carried a
fire bomb or hand grenade

Peggy, who had become so nervous
that she was decidedly cross.
I'm very comfortable up here"
replied Lonesome Bear. Then, as the
strange howl sounded again, Lone
some Bear lowered his growl to a
deep rumble, And I'm safer, too.
There are queer doings in the woods
tonight. You'd better climb up here
with me-"
Peggy felt that his advice was
good, but she remembered the mis-
sion that had brought them to the
forest.
I'VE have come to find the Boy
Who Howls who has been stolen by
the Black Hoof clan. We want you
to show us the way through the
woods"

sounds exciting" growled Lonesome
Bear, sliding down the tree. Its

woods on a night like this. but there
are plenty of trees to climb if dan

Near Judge Owls home. for he
brought the message demanding the
ransom" answered Peggy promptly.
THAT will be easy to find. Climb
on my back, Princess Peggy, and
you grab hold behind, Billy, and we
will be there in a minute"
Peggy seated herself on his broad
furry back. and Billy took hold of
his stubby tail, and they went along
quickly through the woods. After
time they saw ahead Of them what
looked like fire. THE moon"
grunted Lonesome Bear.
Finally they came to the~edge of
the clearing. Lonesome Bear was
about to enter it, when suddenly a
howl arose--a terrible howl, howl
which seemed to be all around them
that filled the woods, that was like
a hundred howls all joined together
Quicker than scat Lonesome Bear
climbed a big oak tree. He climbed
1t so suddenly that Peggy didn't have
time to drop off his back and Billy
didn't have time to let go his tail.
Look" whispered Lonesome
Bear as they reached the branches.
In the clearing and all around the
edges were scores Of beady points
of light-the eyes of animals shining
in the dark.
"Wolves!" whispered Peggy. Then
the rising moon threw ray into the
clearing.
Dogs" answered Billy. "And
they've freed something In that big
maple over there!" Sure enough,
three was a human form seated in
the crotch, well toward the top Of
the maple. From the human form
came an ear-splitting scream that
arose above all the united howlings
Of the dogs.

Christian men and women of Ne

of the many poor unfortunate in
mates of the different institutions

either individuals or organizations
ever visited any poor girl at this

PASSING of O. Great Fortress

The decision of the allied war council that
the German Notifications on the isle of Helgo-
land must be dismantled and the KEEL canal in
ternationalized, with equal charges to all ships
solely for purposes of maintenance, marks the
end of the German dream of sea power. The
British took the island from Denmark in 1907
and maintained some Notifications. But they
were insignificant compared with those Ger
many built after the island was coded to it in
1890. The sandstone formation of the main is
land had suffered from the ravages of the sea
for centuries This had made the place pic
turesque, with fantastic caves, arches and col
umns, but it had reduced the area of the island
at the rate of square mile year from the be-
ginning of the ninth century, when it measured
about $50 square miles The Germans put
with ferro-concrete and constructing break
waters. Various Improvements were installed
to make the place attractive to bathers and
every summer before the war there were 10000
visitors.
The character of the Notifications revealed
that the Germans did not regard the place solely
as summer resort. They spent $5,000,000 a
year for many years on Notifications An ex-
pensve tunnel was built for safe transmission
of supplies in case of war; and it is reported
that during the great war there were ample
stores of supplies and ammunition to enable
garrison of 1000 men to withstand three year
siege. A naval harbor with capacity for the
largest warships was built, several II and 10
inch Krupp guns were placed on steel and con-
crete bases and every inch of the waters of the
North Sea for rs miles around was charted and
calculations worked out and furnished to the
gunners, SO they might have the range of any
hostile vessel that might appear This not only
gave the Germans great strategic strength on
the North Sea and the Baltic, but it served as
protection for the submarine, naval and air
craft bases. Toward the end of the war the
British managed to get at the submarine bases,
but without the fortress of Helgoland and the
mine-laying it protected, Germany would have
been navally impotent from the first The de-
cision as to Hegoland is an important step in
the necessary work of rendering it impossible
for Germany to revive its war plans.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
