T dare say that some of those ideas are new to you, because while 1t Is true, as I said this forenoon in Co., lumbus. apparently nobody has taken the pains to say what is in the cove nant of the League of Nations. They have discussed three-chiehy three out of 26 articles and the other arti- clcs contain this heart of the matter, that instead of war there shall be ar bitrauon; instead of war there shall be discussion; instead of war there sl.aU be the closure of intercourse; that instead of war there shall be the irresistible pressure of the opin- ion of all mankind.
 T need not tell you that I speak with knowledge in this matter - knowledge of the purpose of the men with whom the men representing America were associated at the peace table. Every one I consulted with came there with the same idea that wars had arisen in the past because the strong had taken advantage of the weak and that the only way to stop war was to band ourselves to- gether to protect the weak
 And so when you read the cov- enant, read the treaty with it.
 'I have no doubt that in this au- dience there are many men who come from that ancient stock of Poland, for example-men in whose blood there is the warmth of old affec- tions connected with that betrayed and ruined country; men whose mem orios run back to insufferable wrongs endured by those living in that Coun- try; and I call them 10 witness that Poland never could have won unity and independence by herself. These gentlemen sitting at Paris presented Poland with a unity she could not have won and an Independence which she cannot defend, unless the world guarantees it to her.
 'I am arguing this thing with you. my fellow citizens. as if I had any doubt of what the verdict of the American people would be. I have not the slightest doubt. I just wanted to have the pleasure of pointing out to you how absolutely ignorant of the treaty and of the covenant some of the men are. who have been opposing them. If they do read the English language they do not understand the English language as I understand it. If they have really read this treaty and this covenant they only amaze me by their inability to understand what is plainly expressed So that my errand upon this journey is not to argue these matters, but to recall you to the real issues which are in volved"

Tn upper Silesia, East Prussia, Lithuania. along the BoIshevik front in the vicinity of Minsk and along the Ukrainian front. Polish armies are forced to face armed enemies,' he continued Where these enemies are not Germans they are aided by Germans who are urging the Bolshe- wiki forward in every way to embar- rass Poland. Our new government, with limited supplies and little cloth ing for its army, finds the situation desperate. Such leaders as General Won Luttwitz. military governor of Brussels under German occupation, and other widely known generals have been entrusted with the task of crushing Poland, but that will not be possible if Poland can get speedy re- lief. Until the German treaty is rat flied, we cannot get the foreign troops necessary to stabilize the situation and hold the plebiscites in sections of ceded territory. In the meantime, Polish workmen are being beaten, abused and killed by German troops in Silesia. The Poles are eager to rush into Silesia to avenge the wrongs inflicted on our countrymen and it is difficult to restrain our peO- pIe, who are stirred daily by blood curdIing stories of German atrocities told by refugees.
 Tn the Baltic states of Russia, the Germans are fomendng disorder and lending assistance to the BOlsheviSi On all sides we are forced to bear this new war that Germany is waging against the allied cause. She is de ternained to conquer Russia at any cost and is making every effort to hamper us in our battle against dis order. German propagandists are twisting every clash between our troops and, the Bolshevild into Jewish Pogroms. The battle against us is be- ing carried on under German direc- ton as well as arms.
 "Enemies are shooting at us from every angle. We are unable to de- fend ourselves against all these cal umnies We are too busy shooting at our enemies with rifles to fight this underground campaign which is being conducted in America and throughout the civilized world. We must rely on our friends to refute islanders and keep faith in US.

During that time there will be but two limitations to the city's hospital ity-the amount it is physically pos sible to crowd in and the extent to which the general can subordinate the eagerness of personal friends to the public's demands.
 The final say in everything except the parade of the First Division and "Pershings Own" composite regi- ment which the commander will lead Wednesday morning, and the city's dinner to him and his staff at the Waldorf, that night. is to be left to the general himself It Is expected that there will be an inevitable press of private obligations, and no one is going to make positive promises that General Pershing will do anything un- til he gets here to say yes or no.

Our people have re- sisted the blandishment of Bolshev- ism so far but there is a limit to human endurance. We hope for a speedy ratification of the treaty and pray for the steadying inhuence of allied troops in harassed districts where Plebiscites are to be held to determine the future status of those sections. Our people cannot stand the strain much longer and must have an opportunity to work out their governmental problems in peace."

x producing 400 tons of steel a day

In 1905, after several years of
Indifferent success, the Pacific
Coast Steel Company, which had
its beginning at Lakeview, near
what is now Camp Lewis, locat-
ed in Seattle. Its output has null
tiplied more than twenty-four
fold since coming here-the
present daily output being 400
tons. During the past year its
average record of employment
was 1900 men, with a payroll in
excess of $500, 900. The plar
covers a large part of q fifty
acre tract. Equipment consists
of four open hearth furnaces, a
billet and structural steel mill
with four stands of rolls twenty
two inches in diameter. In ad-
dition, there are nine-inch,
twelve-inch and sixteen-inch bar
mills. While originally an iron
plant, practically the only old
piece of equipment that Is
used is a muck mill for scrap
iron. This plant, which will
bear comparison with any in the
country, and is equipped to pro-
duce every character of ship
steel except the plates, is, in all
probability, but one of several
that will eventually be located
on Puget Sound.

THE CO.EDS CAN HELP

One dollar for chrysanthemum Is
rather high, considering that the 1or-
lists sell "mums" at so cents apiece
save on Homecoming Day or Thanks
giving. knowing beforehand that the
demand will be heavier on these oc-
caisons, they could sell under the
regular price instead OF doubling IT.
1t will be objected that the young
man is not forced to buy. And he Is
not-by economic necessity. But
pride in treating his girl as well as
his friends treat their girls (and a
little better possibly permits no
choice but to pay the price OF the oc-
casion, one dollar-two dollars, 10
stick to fact, for the youg man buys
either none or two NUNS.
A little tact is necessary to stop
this imposition, too small to be called
profiteering. The matter is too trlv-
ial for the faculty. Pride prevents
the young men from speaking out
The girls, however, might pass round
the word to one another to let their
escorts know, before they have placed
orders. that one dollar NUNS are not
necessary.
