EXPLANATORY RESERvA.
TIONS"


ratification of the peace
treaty and the League of Ma
tions covenant the more re-
sponsible among the senate OBJ
structionists have virtually
given up efforts to defeat rati-
fication, according to all re-
ports.
1t appears now that efforts
VIII be directed instead to-
wards explanatory reserva-
tions" by the senate. This is a
flexible line of action whereby
the majority leaders may save
their faces to some extent and
vet not interfere with proceed
ings. They might even help
clarity some points. On the
other hand if they went too far
they could easily endanger the
treaty and the league.
The fact there is no longer
serious talk of defeating the
treaty is encouraging and lends
to the belief that the 'explana-
tory reservation" will be mild
in character. After President
Wilson has addressed the SEN
ate Thursday the senate may
see the way clear to ratify the +
treaty without reserve.
During the past week or two /
most of the critics have been
devoting their time to section
10 of the covenant, some of
them claiming that under this
section the United States will
be obliged to do things it wont
wish to undertake.
The full text of section 10 in
the revised covenant is much
the same as in the original !
draft and is as follows: p
The members of the league under
take TO respect and preserve as against
external aggression the territorial in
tegrity and existing political independ-
ence of an members of the league. In
case of any such aggression or in case
of any threat or danger of such aggres-
sion. the council shall advise upon the
means by which this obligation shall
be fulfilled.
AS will be seen the matter !,
will be up to the executive !
council which is to be compos-
ed of one representative from
each of the great powers. The
unanimous vote of the council
will be required to obtain ac- t
tion and therefore it may be p
seen the United States will not
be obliged to do anything it I
does not wish to do.
The possibility of American
soldiers having to go abroad .
under action of the league is
rather remote. 1t is not often
than any great nation tries tot
run amuck as Germany did and /
any small attempt at aggres- /
sion could be easily handled by
neighboring powers in Europe !
or by economic pressure on the !
part of the league members. b
The League of Nations may
be likened to a world fire de-
partment in which the United
States will have membership if i
the treaty is ratified. We may (
have work to do at times but it
is probable that our duty will :
be much less dangerous and ex- !
pensive than the work we have 8

CHAIRMAN MCNULTY'S REPORT

AS a result of the Christmas Roll
Call in Highland, we are able to re-
port 700 names. This falls far be-
low the total membership, but is a
fairly good showing, all things con-
sidered.
Not few members failed to send
in renewals because their time had
not expired and did not understand
that they were expected to renew
regardless of that fact A response
was expected from all who had not
renewed since Sept. l.
Tie solicitors deserve much credit
for their enterprise and energy in
canvassing the county, under
such adverse weather conditions,
while the influenza situation also
made the work a precarious one and
in one section of the county, where
a liberal response was made last
year, no effort at all was made this
year.
This campaign for renewals has
not closed and any one wishing to do
so may send in their names.

Now are always aching there.
We did not want to part with her,
But God knew what was best
And some day we hope to meet her
In that sweet land of rest.
