REVIEW. From there we started on an
other series of hikes, the first one be-
ing to st. Marie Oudenhove, a distance
of 10 kilometers. We stayed there
about five days.
Our band is the best of the four
in the 91st Division, and as we pass
through towns of any size they play
for us and we march at attention"
until the order route step" is given,
when we sling our rifles and hike on
some more kilometers. After leaving
the town of st. Marie Oudenhove we
stopped at the following towns over
night, Hilleghem, Nazareth, Meule
beke, arriving at Coolscamp Dec. 4.
The towns we pass through are all
very old, and they all have the same
cobblestone roads. The town of Cools-
camp has an old tombstone, of carved
marble, which was 30 years in the
making. 1t is facsimile of the May
or, for whom it was made, and is
beautiful piece of work.
On December 9th we left Cools-
camp and marched to Hooglede, IA
kilometers. 1t was on this march that
we saw number of interesting sights,
one of which was an old woman,
stunted in growth, all wrinkled, push
ing wheelbarrow which was twice
as big as herself, and smoking a ci-
garette. She watched US pass by,
just as unconcerned as could be.
We left the town of Hooglede, and
started on march of 20 kilometers
across what is known as "No Mans
Land" (That is good name for it,
We passed a place where there had
once been town of good size, and all
that was left standing was one con-
crete gate post with an iron gate
hanging on it, and we were surprised
to see that the gate was not damaged.
1t was upon this battle-ground that
the famous battle of Houthhulst was
fought where the allies forces lost 3d.
900 men, and caused the enemy to lose
about $4,000 on the field of battle. We
passed through three ex-towns, where
some of the buildings had as much IS
half wall still standing. The names
of the towns are Staden, Merchem and
Luighem.
/ It was a hard "hike" across this
+ said "No Mans Land" but the 364th
are known for their "guts" and only
/ Is men fell out on account of sore
| feet or sickness. We arrived in the
/ town of Oosevleteren late in the after
| noon, tired out, too tired in fact to
walk to the rolling kitchen" for sup
per, as it was a mile away from head
quarters. Nor did we Headquarters
/ bunch) go to breakfast the next morn
! ing, because we had another "hike" Of
/ II kilometers staring US in the face
for that day, and did not care FOR any
/ too much exercise before making it.
/ On December 9Th, Sunday, we
/ hiked the aforesaid II kilometnrs, and
I believe me it was some hike. On
/ this march the battle between "mor-
ale'' and "kilometers" was fought,
and up until "Hill IA" was taken

! ing taken all II kilometers, and ar
irving at Herzeele at 200 p. H., our

of 27O0 men fell by the wayside, too
tired or sore to go further. 46 Kill

record.

HOOVER STRONG FOR
| LEAGUE OF NATIONS
IBy Associated Press)

Palo Alto, Oct. 21.-1If the League
Of Nations is to break down, we must
at once prepare to fight" Herbert
Hoover, formerly Economic Director
for the Supreme War Council, told
the students of Stanford University
in an address he delivered here last
night.
The Peace Treaties, he said, "can-
not be carried out without the League.
# the League falls the treaties also
fall. If the balance Of power is to
supplant the League of Nations, we
will have torn asunder the only hope
that Europe will not break into
further wars of races, classes and
combinations that will take civiliza-
ton back to the middle ages.
II am confident. that if we attempt
to revise the treaty we shall tread a
road through European chaos. If we
manage to keep our soldiers out of it
we will not escape fearful economic
losses.
"The Allies may, themselves, revise
this treaty without us and then as
semble council of nations Of their
own in an endeavor to solve the prob

lens Of Europe It would be council
Of Europe and in the midst of these
terrible times, considering the debts
they owe us, the material they must
have from us or starve, / would rather
that we be represented therein less
1T BECOME league Of Europe against
the Western Hemisphere. A peace
without us means more army 7and
navy for us, the old treadmill OF
taxes and dangers for us.
Mr.. Hoover said that few people
seem to realize the desperation to
which Europe has been reduced.
During the coming winter some Of
them will look with longing eyes to
this rich, fat nation, with it's surplus
OF every human necessity, he said.
"We cannot fiddle while Rome burns"
1t we believe we can see our neigh
bors return to another 80 years war
through the break down Of this
treaty, and we still maintain our
progress, it is the egotism Of insanity
Our expansion overseas has entangled
us for good or ill, and I stand for an
honest attempt to join with Europe's
better spirits to prevent these en-
tanglements from involving us in war.
We are not dealing with perfection,
we are dealing with the lesser of
evils.
"For US to refuse to enter into a
joint attempt with the we'll thinking
sections of a large part of the world
to establish a continuing moral con-
science against war is the utmost
folly in our town interests.
Pointing out the Likelihood that some
European nations will again be plung-
ed into war with their neighbors, Mr..
Hoover referred to probability of
the invasion of Poland if the treaty
failed. '.'i
He said, "there are many elements.
in Europe who wish to see the treaty
break down and the League of Ma
tons disappear. During the last five
months our Allies have been growing
weaker from a military point of view
due to the necessity of demobilizing
their armies, while at the same time
the reactionary group in Germany
has been growing in strength thru
the hope of yet securing a division of
the Allies. At the time l left Europe
a month ago German militarism had
already re-established itself as we'll
disciplined, well-officered army of at
least 100000 men largely congregat-
ed on the Polish frontier and even
defying the government at Berlin.
Under the alarm Of this danger the
Poles in the midst Of the greatest
economic misery that a nation ever
knew, have tbeen trying to create an
army of 100000 men for their pro-
lection from the Germans on the
side and the Bolshevild on the other.
If the treaty is ratified the German
army will be reduced to 100000 men
and dispersed over Germany and
their extra armament destroyed. The
failure Of the treaty means .ne in
vasion of the Polish state
"This is only one Of powder maya
zines in Europe which cannot be des-
troyed until this treaty is ratified,
and. during every day of delay more
explosives are poured into them"

Mr.. Hoover, in beginning, said he
had been urged by Mr.. Taft to give
his views on the Peace Treaty and
that during the ten months in which
he acted as Economic Director of the
Supreme War Council he had an OPP
portunity independently to observe
the growth of ideas in the Peace Con-
ference and the re-percussions of
these ideas through Europe. He
said he was not impatient of honest
debate; that he believed the debate on
the League of Nations now going on
in the United States els building the
very foundation Of the League" He
did not believe in the criticism Of the
Senate for not accepting out-of-hand
the Peace Treaty revolved by 500
conflicting minds in Paris.
~The treaty finally agreed upon at
Paris is by no means perfect" de-
clared Mr.. Hoover, adding that he
saw no method by which it could
have been made perfect under the
circumstances.
He pointed out that scores of in
ternational wrongs which breed war
existed in the world before the con-
ference was held. Of these, he
said, the Peace Conference correct
ed some but he predicted it would
take perhaps 100 years to correct
them all.
cit is often overlooked that this
was not a conference to settle the
wrongs committed by Allies or

ed than the American delegation that
some great wrongs that were the re-
suit Of the secret treaties that had
been written in times Of great des-
perations among the original Allies
were not eradicatedN rn TsIeorl
Referring to the probable effect up
on an aggressor Of enlightenment
and the use of the boycott, Mr..
Hoover said: Il gThef hope which /, as
an independent observer, have placed
in the league is that 1t will forever
relieve the United States Of the
necessity to again send single
soldier outside of our boundaries"
"We hear the cry that the League
obligates that our sons be sent to
fight in foreign lands. Yet the very
intent and structure of the League is
to prevent war. There is no obliga-
ton for the United States to engage
in military operations or to allow any
interference with our internal af-
fairs without the full consent Of our
representatives in the league. If
there is no danger that we should be
charged with an obligation to any to
war, either direct or implied without
the full consent and approval Of
Congress. I believe the President
will be the first to agree to any in
that this cannot be. To me
every line of it is the complete
Of militarism." h
