WOULD HAVE LEAGUE
EMBODIED IN TREATY
Northwestern Congress Urges Step
for Humanity-Mr. Taft ON
Senator Poindexter's Opposition.

PORTLAND, Ore, February fS.-By
acclamation the northwestern con-
gress for league of nations yester-
day adopted a platform declaring
that a treaty of peace, of which the
formation of n league of nations is
an essential part, shall be ratified by
the Senate of the United States and
that America Shall take its place
among the great nations subscribing
thereto, not only for the good of the
nation, but also for the peaceful well
fare OF mankind. Former President
Taft presided.
Senator Poindexter's Opposition.
Referring to criticism OF the cove
nant by Senator pointiexter, Mr. Taft
said that these sentiments if uttered
during. the war would have been out
of tune with the overfowing spirit of
the American people and their de-
termination to win this war and end
the possibility of such war in the
future"
Now for the first time" he said. "do
we hear the claim that we did not go
into this war for the benefit of the
world, but for our own selfish pur-
poses"
Mr.. Taft Discusses League.
The constitution as read in Paris
by President Wilson is indeed wider
in the scope of its purpose than was
the platform of our League to Enforco
Peace said Mr.. Taft. in describing the
purposes o. the league
Article 10 of the constitution ex-
tends our Monroe doctrine to the
world by making it an obligation of
the league members to respect and
preserve. as against external agrees
sior the territorial integrity and ex-
stins <sfitical independence of all
states-members of the league.
Boycott Formidable.
THE punishment of a universal
boycott is a very formidable instru-
ment of repression. We may reason
ably hope that this prospect will min
irnize the temptation to make war and
to secure the object of the league.
This Paris covenant has been made
by the five nations which are to pre-
scribe the terms of the treaty OF
peace. A convention of all the nations
would never have agreed on anything
as practical as this. This league is
growing up as an Institution forced
by the necessities of the situa ton.

DISCOVERY OF CHARRED
HAND STILL MYSTERY

MERIDIAN, Miss. March Is. (Spl)-
A charred human hand was found on
Athe Causeyville road, near the Missis-
sippi-Alabama fairgrounds, by a mer-
chant named Farmer. Thursday after
noon and brought to tho county jail,
where 1t aroused considerable interest
among county and city officers. The
hand was the left hand Of a white mar
and 1t looked as II an effort had been
been made to burn 1t. The little finger
was gone completely and the other
fingers 80 charred that the color was
almost indistinguishable. The thumb
was intact, however.
The hand had been severed at the
wrist and had a piece of gauze at
tached to the stump.
The fact that q fire recently destroyed
one Of the barns at the fairgrounds,
in which five fine horses and several
hogs were burned to death and a
Waterman painfully burned, led to an
investigation, which revealed absolutely
nothing on the theory that someone
had burned to death In the fire.
Officers later came to the conclusion
that the hand had been amputated at
some local hospital, an attempt made
to burn 1t, but In some manner II
found its way to the place where it
was found, possibly through the agency
OF SowaShee creek.

strong inclination to consult relatives

gown she had chosen to wear was one
Of her simpler costumes. II was a
plain dark blue silk, cut on rather
straight lines, so that only the cheap
ness OF the lace at neck and sleeves
betrayed her lack of good taste. In
her choice of hat she was less happy;
for it was very large awkwardly
shaped and heavy with tawdry flowers.
But even this could not eXtinguish her
