LEAGUE FINDS FAVOR.

When the roll is called, it is
found that comparatively few
pubic men in America, whose
opinions count for much, are
now opposing the principle un-
derlying the League of Nations.
1t was noteworthy that the de-
bate between Senator Lodge and
President Lowell developed only
minor differences Of opinion.
Former Justice Hughes and
Mr.. Root, both master minds in
the republican party, have APP
proved the general plan of the
league, although they insist upon
certain amendments to the pro-
posed covenant, and this APP
pears to be the attitude Of the
vast majority of the leaders of
national thought.
1t is practically certain that
the desired amendments will be
and hence the prospects
for the league becoming a real
ity become daily brighter.

JOBS FOR LIVING SOLDIERS

After we get good jobs for all
living ex-soldiers, then let us
build monuments to all the dead
soldiers. Necessarily the monu-
ments must be of the collective
sort-that is, one monument
standing for a considerable
4 group of dead soldiers. The Jobs
must be strictly indiyidual-one
for each eX-soldier who is in
need of job and cannot find it
withou5 cooperation Of the prop
er kind.
The dead can wait for their
monuments, but the living can
not wait for their jobs. There
seems to be more talk just now
about the plans and specifica-
tions and the ways, and means
for monuments to the dead rath-
er than there is about putting
the living into employment
where they can continue to live
as independent citizens.
1t is all very well to build mon
uments or memorials if there is
money enough left after the
needs Of the living have been
satisfied or guaranteed The
first duty of mankind is to the
living. This attitude may not
suit the super-sentimental, but it
is weIl-calculated to please the
man who is adrift without re-
munerative employment, not to
speak Of his wife and children or
other dependents.
In a small city we do not feel f.
this 50 keenly as it is felt in
large centers Of population. Re
ports show a great deal Of un- |
employment amongst returned
soldiers in the big cities. 1t is
up to the living to assist in pro-
viding for the living before
building monuments to the dead.

An Urgent Celebration
BY Willis Brooks.


My father was Marshal one Fourth of
July,
And made long lasting impression,
With his sash and his sword and a
plume waving high,
AS he calamity rode gay thorough
bred by
At the head of the gorgeous pro-
cesslon.
In garlanded chariot next to the
band
My mother was Liberty's Goddess;
With a cap on her head and sword
in her hand,
Begowned in the stripes of our glori-
Gus land,
Set off with star-spangled bodice.
You see, this was ever so long, long
Before they were known to each
other;
And, of course. since he wasn't so
much as her beau,
Neither one of them had any reason
to know
That they were my father and
mother.
Now the Marshal, you know, is ex-
pected to ride
Up and down the whole length of
the column;
And the Goddess is always supposed
to preside
AS the guardian of Freedom, Amer
ica's pride,
With dignity stately and solemn.
For Marshal is one who's appointed
to see
That the marchers are all in their
stations;
And Goddess, of course, is expected
to be
So far above earthly enticements that
Will indulge in no human flirtations.
But I've heard people say twas the
talk of the town
That this Marshal was So patriotic
He pranced and cavorted his steed up
and down
Within sight of the red, white and
blue of that gown
AS if held there by letters despotic.
And that Goddess, I'm told, without
turning her head,
Saw each of these purposeful
Frances,
And reflected her colors from cheeks
blushing red
Under temples of white; and her eyes,
it is said,
Were bright with the blue of her
glances.
So, that's how it comes that the
Fourth of July
Provokes me to glad celebration.
If the Marshal and Goddess had let it
60 by
And taken no part, who the dickens
would I
Have been in the scheme of Crea-
ton?

him violently to the floor, leaping upon
his breast as he fell. From the bed
the ape growled and struggled with
his bonds
The boy did not cry out-a trait in
herited from his savage sire, who dur
ing years in the jungle following the
death of his foster mother. Kala, the
great ape, had learned that there was
none to come to the succor of the
fallen.
Paulvitch's fingers sought the lads
throat. He grinned down horribly into
the face of his victim.
your father ruined me-" he num-
bled. "Thls will pay him. He will
think that the ape did it. l will tell
him that the ape did it, that 1 left
him alone for few minutes and that
you sneaked in and the ape killed you.
l will throw your body upon the bed
after / have choked the life out of you,
and when l bring your father he will
see the ape squatting over it," and the
twisted fiend cackled in gloating laugh
ter.
His fingers closed upon the boys
throat.
Behind them the growing Of the,
maddened beast reverberated against
the walls of the little room. The boy
paled, but no other sign Of fear or
panic showed upon his countenance.
He was the son of Tarzan. The fingers
frightened their grip upon his throat. 1t
was with difficulty that he breathed-
gaspingly.
The ape lunged against the stout
cord that held him. Turning, he
wrapped the cord about his hands, as
a man might have done, and surged
heavily backward. The great muscles
stood out beneath his shaggy hide.
There was rending as of splintered
wood-the cord held, but portion Of
the foOtboard Of the bed came away.
At the sound Paulvitch looked up,
His hideous face went white In terror
the ape was free!
With a single bound the creature
was upon him. The man shrieked.
The brute wrenched him from the body
of the boy. Great fingers sank into
his flesh. Yellow fangs gasped close
to his throat-he struggled futilely-
