Will Eliminate Causes


"The prevention of war is sought to
be accomplished by eliminating, as far
as possible, the causes which lead to
war, by On the limitation Of
armaments, (2) guarantees of terri
torial integrity and political inde-
pendence, CD the abolition of secret
treaties, (4) compulsory conferences to
discuss questions of common interest
that may from time TO time arise and
thereby to bring about cooperation
among the nations concerned.
"Gertainlv the United States could
not do less than join in this guarantee,
which eliminates one Of the most fruit

gives the new nations to be esta blshed
under the peace treaty the opportunity
to organize and erect stable govern
ments, especially when we can relieve
ourselves Of this obligation at any time
upon two years notice.
Peace Would BE Enforced
"Thc argument that this guarantee
will involve us IN every European quar-
rel is far fetched for the following
reasons:
"G) We can't bc drawn into any
war unless our Congress first author

"(2) After all European armaments

Acting Secretary Of State Polk fol-
lowing a conference with Representa-
tive Isaac Siegel, of New York, cabled
again tonight to the United States
Minister to Poland, Hugh Gibson, with
regard to the reported massacres Of
Jews. Mr.. Polk has received cable
from the Minister stating that his re-
port on the situation is on its way by
mail, as it is too long to be cabled. II
is possible that he will be asked to
cable the entire report.
Mr.. Siegel showed Mr.. Polk. as part

ference and inform them that the Sen

The resolution was unanimously adopt

ton of World War
w orkable,' Says McAdoo
Former Secretary Joins With
Cummings i'll Arguing
for Senate's Approval

The conclusions of numerous speak
ers at the league Of nations banquet
given by a non-partisan committee at
the Hotel Commodore last evening
were that:
America must choose the proposed
league of nations or none at all and
that the league is the only guarantee
against q repetition of the brutalties
Of another world war
William G.. McAdoo, former Secre-
tary of the Treasury, analyzed the pro-
posed covenant in detail and declared
that it was "practical and workable "
Homer S. Cummings, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, said
America must approve the proposed
league or remain out of it, without
hope of maintaining ~ present isola-
ton.
More than 300 men and wo>2en of
various political faiths made evfNent
their approval of the proposed worlS
organization by applauding the speak
ers' utterances in its favor.
Call on Thinking Women
The committee that arranged the
dinner was made up almost exclusively
Of women, and the foreword that pre-
ceded the list of speakers in the even
ings programme called upon the
thinking women of the world to put
into quick existence this league of
nations. which stands perfectly for the
peace of the world"
Mr.. McAdoo declared that the United
States was bound by duty and by ma
terial advantage to become member
Of the league Of nations. The lives
of $4,000 American soldiers would
have been given in vain and the peace
of Europe and the world be constantly
imperilled, he said, should the United
States refuse. The tremendous worl Id
commercial venture, for which Amer
can industry was poised, depended, Mr..
McAdoo asserted, upon the insurance
conveyed by the existence of a league
81 nations, and there could be no
league OF nations without the United
States.

from looking full at her, and as he
saw her thus close at hand and com.

the first time he had the sense of hav-

Lucy did not keep to the right

took it. Haven't you" What he

He would not have altered what had

that his own course was right. But he

AS the room took life from the sudden
lines OF fire within the bulbs Isabel
made deprecatOry gesture, and, with
a faint laugh of apologize protest,
turned quickly away from George.
What she meant was: "You mustn't

him her eyes downcast but no sign
of tears in them. and she contrIved to
show him that there was the sem

still wore her hat, and in her unsteady
fingers she held a white envelope,
somewhat crumpled.
