DECLARES LEAGUE
IS BOX OF EVILS
Senator Sherman Asserts It
Would Empty Worlds
Troubles on U. S.
ASSAILS THE PRESIDENT

The constitution of the league of
nations as presented at the peace con-
ference was pictured to the Senate to-
day by Senator Sherman of Illinois,
republican, as "Pandora's box full of
evils" which would empty upon the
American, people the aggregated ca
lamities of the world"
Senator Sherman sharply criticised
President Wilson, asking who author
lied him "to rear above the republic
an autocratic power. He added that
the authority was not to be found in
the Constitution of the United States
nor was it implied from underlined
war powers, and gave 1t as his opin-
ion that the President has been act
ing either as "a usurper or a dicta-
tor"

VIII Discuss the League.

Although only day and a half re-
main before the end of the present
session of Congress and some impor-
tant legislation lies on the table,
many senators will take time to dis
cuss the league of nations. and the
discussion will continue in public
forums after the adjournment of Con-
gress.
The President has certainly concen-
trated American interest on the
league of nations project by his visit
to Europe, and though domestic aues-
tions are sidetracked for the moment,
senator's and representatives as a
whole are beginning to feel that the
implications of the league of nations
are more important than anything
else before the American people since
the United States entered the war.

Steps Taken by Navy.

Secretary Daniels of the Navy, told
OF the steps taken by his departm ent
TO reduce, as far as possible, nation
wide unemployment. He declared that
the Navy has avoided overbuying of
war materials and has tried always to
keep enough work ahead to prevent q
possible slowing up OF efforts.
He believes that for at least the
next year the total men employed
in the various stations and yards of
the Navy will not be materially de-
creased-!n fact there has actually
been an increase in employment in
the navy yard service since the sign
ing of the armstice, he said.
He described the reasons for this
extra employment, and said that man
ufacturers engaged on material for
the Navy have been required to ex-
tend their deliveries TO cover a much
longer time than could have been per-
mitted during the war
THE Navy has been able" said
Secretary Daniels said. ito keep the
worktr- - engaged on Navy orders

than seemed practicable at first, but
much of this is temporary.

said in conclusion. 81 have fears of

Asks Source of Power.

name of all the gods at once, upon
what does this Caesar feed himself
that he has grown so great?"
He adroitly maneuvers himself into
the spotlight as the fountain of peace
perpetual and the guardian of man
kind" Senator Sherman continued.
LAS he kept US out of war in 1916,
SO he will keep us out of impending
war conjured up to serve the issues
of 1920, and keep us a peace forever
if we but accept him again. With him
as the drum major of civilization,
eternal peace, betting the earth and
brooding like a gentle spirit Ger a

Chief Weakness in East.


But the chief weakness in the fu-
tGre Will be In eastern Europe. and
that is why barrier of new states to
be erected between the Baltic and
Adriatic viii need strengthening by
every means in our power. Although
France has a particular Interest in the
west front, the detection of bolshevik
Russia makes IL desirable that she
should find some substitute on the
cas- tfor her old Russian liance and
IL must be a great JOY 10 her people
that this substitute should take the
form of barrier line of free peoples.
Our own position has many points
of resemblance to that of France. The
main avenues of the league of nations
communication with free peoples be-
tween the Baltic and Adriatic will be
over the sea and therefore we are anx-
ious about free passage into the Baltic
and also that there should be at ITS
eastern end friendly powers to provide
the navfes of the league after they
have entered the Baltic With repairs
and facilities of operation.
But that is not all. As in eastern
Europe, we hope to see barrier OF
free states erected so that England.
which has India to think of. may be
protected in the middle east. No one
substitute will cover all the ground
once occupied by the Ottoman empire
Its old functions will have to be di-
Vided betweeu new ARABIA, new Ar
menia and new Palestine. That is why
the question of Syria is SO important
to us.
Suggests Buffer States.
France has right to the hest
frontiers possible on the side of Ger.
many, and we have a similar right in
the middle east, for it is not our way
to keep huge armies garrisoning
frontiers. Our way is to diminish our
military liabilities by system Of
buffer states,
Our position in Egypt gives as
especial interest in the future OF
Palestine and the same applies to
Arabia. Such considerations as these
are not inconsistent with the princi-
pies of the league of nations On the
contrary the nearer an ideal carries
its head to the clouds, the more firm
ly must its feet be planted on solid
ground"
The Times concludes by speaking OF
the value of American support. say

HAVE TO SUSPEND
Government Aid, Which 1t
Has Not Decided to Re-

EMPLOYS NEARLY 600

The Chesapeake and Ohio canal,
the most historic inland waterway
of the nation, may go out of business
this year.
Despite its record of having brought
10000 tons of coal to Washington
from the Cumberland fields last sea-
son, the canal faces the proba bic
necessity of suspendinS operations
because the government has not de-
cided TO give it the financial assist
ance that it received during the war.
and the towage company does not see
its way to meeting an almost certain
deficit that will be incurred under
existing operating costs.
Gave Guarantee Last Year.
Failure of the canal TO open viii
affect nearly 500 employees and their
families, including boatmen and lock-
tenders. AS a war measure, the fed
eral government last year guaranteed
the towage company against loss fin
operation. a loss was incurred. which
the government met.
1t is understood Director General
Hines is considering recommended
tion that this agreement be not re-
neWed. Approval or the recommended
tion, it is said by those close TO the
comp pany, would put the canal out of
business
Representative Zihlman of Maryland
will see Mr.. Hines this week and
urge that the governm ent continue to
help the company until business con-
ditions become more normal.
Under the government-superv
operation last year wages on the canal
increased enormously. The pay of
boatmen was jumped from so to 60
cents at the beginning of the season,
subsequently, increased to 70 cents
and at the end of the season these en-
ployes were receiving compensation at
the rate of so cents a ton. Increases
were given other employees, all of
which led to deficit in operation that
was made good nY The goVernment

"Will Turn to Ashes"

fsed by the President. 1t is the fabiet

RED CROSS PHOTOGRAPHS
GRAVES OF OUR HEROES

Of the $50 American aviators who
lost their lives in battle, the graves
of 143 have been photographed by the
American Red Cross for their families
Every effort Is being made to locate
and photograph the seven that have
not yet been found
In many cases graves were located
only after hundreds of miles of Ger.
man soil had been covered. As soon
as they were found and properly
marked in accordance with army
regulations they were photographed.
The same system has been followed
in France, where the Red Gross photo.

FIRST SALE YIELDED $4,000
National tuberculosis Association,
Which Sponsors Sale, Will Place
65o,oCoOOO Seals on Sale to
Finance the Fight Against
tuberculosis.

The Red Cross Seal-aS millions OF
Americans know it to day, is an agent
of happiness and health. 1t was orig
mated in 1907 by Miss Emily 2. Bissell,
of Wilmington, Delaware, who learned
through Jacob Riis of somewhat SINH
lar seals that were sold in Norway for
the purpose of raising funds with
which to fight tuberculosis.
Miss Bissell persuaded the Amerl-
can Red Cross to take up the idea with
the result that seals were sold in
limited number of communities in
1908. The sale yielded a revenue of
apbroximately $4,000. The Red Cross
then decided to issue the seals each
year and to turn the proceeds over to
the National tuberculosis association
and its affiliated societies for the pur-
pose of financing the campaign against
tuberculosis. The number Of seals
sold in America increased by leaps
and bounds until in 1917 the total
reached 1S0,OOO,000.
This year the seals are again on
sale beginning December l. More
Than half billion seals have been
printed for distribution to state and
local agents. In addition to the
seals Health Bonds in denOmina
tions ranging from $500 to $l00.00
are to be sold in lieu of seals to
large contributors, who do not send
out a sufficient quantity Of mail in
December to make use of all the seals
they would like to purchase. The
combined quotas Of all the state or
ganizations call for more than $6,500,
600 to carry out the intensive educa-
tionaI campaign being conducted by
the National tuberculosis Association
and its LOCO affiliated societies.
The intensive sale of these seals
represents a practical demonstration
Of every lesson that has been learned
regarding scientific distribution. Ex-
perts of the highest standing in sales
management nave co-Operated to the
extent Of assuring those interested
that every resident Of the United
States will have an opportunity to buy
Bed Cross Christmas Seals.

Work For Chapters.

To this end the commissioner re
cOmmends that each Red Cross chap
ter should make Il careful survey of
material resources, of buildings, both
actually and potentially available,
and of nurses and nurses aides, claSSi-
fed in accordance with their avail
ability for either local service or as
a part of a mobile force.
The commissioner suggests that
for the occasional case or in an epi
demic of slight proportions, arrange
mentS with hospitals would meet the
requirements in many localities.
Last Years Services.
All the Red Cross chapters in the
state last year did 50 much in com
batting the ravageS of the disease and
bringing relief to its sufferers that
their familiarity with the conditions
will enable chapter officials to take
whatever precautionary measures
sound judgment will suggest as being
advisable at this time, in order to
promptly meet similar condition this
year should it arise.
As to the prevention and treatment
of the influenza, the commissioner ad-
viseS as follows:
Measures of Prevention.
LAS for precautionary steps apply
ing to the individual, there seems
nothing better than the maintenance
of the general health at its highest
point, the avoidance Of crowded, over
heated, ill-ventilated places, and the
stunning of him or her who coughs
without using the handkerchief as one
would a sufferer from smallpox.
There is enough evidence of the
value of masks properly constructed,
properly worn, and supplemented by
clean hands 10 make this measure
advisable, particularly in the case of
those who do cough. This as a protec-
ton to others.
"The underlying cause of influenza
has not been discovered. unless it be a
flrerable virus, nor is there any
therapeutics for it other than shelter,
good nursing, proper nOuriShment, and
SymptOmatic treatment"
The state officials feel that the
work of the Red Cross in the late
epidemic alone has more than fully
justified the existence of the body and
its future continuance The perfect
organization will be Of great value in
preventing another visitation this fall.
