A LINE O. CHEER
EACH DAY O. THE YEAR
A query.
BY John Kendrick Bangs.

You've sat your lunch and breakfast
through.
Perhaps you've had your dinner, too,
Regaling self on bread and meat
Until your stomach is replete.
But as you've run along your way
What have you fed your soul today :?
What thing of beauty or of cheer
OF all lifc's lovely menu here?
What food Selishness and Love
Have YOU perchance partaken Of?
I'm asking this about your food
With no intention to be rude,
But just to put q simple question
To save you mental indigestion.

PRESIDENT WILL REMAIN
IN BOSTON ONLY A FEW HOURS

Boston, Feb. 21.-More definite form
was given today to the plans for the
visit of President Wilson next Mon
day. This was made possible by the
receipt of wireless messages telling
of his wishes and indicating the prob
able time of the arrival Of the
steamer George Washington.
The president is expected to remain
in the city only a few hours, from
mid-forenoon to early evening. The
meeting at Mechanics building, at
which he will deliver the only address
of his visit will be held in the after
noon, probably at o'clock. President
Wilson will speak eXtemporaneously
and it is understood that his address
will deal in general terms with his
mission to France, without detailed
reference to the peace conference pro-
ceedings or the league of nations. It
is expected that the president will
leave on the Federal express in the
early evening, to enable him to be at
his desk in Washington on Tuesday
Tuesday morning.
With the certainty that thousands of
| applicants for tickets to the Mechanics
| building would be disappointed in the
allotment, preparations for relieving
overflow conditions were made by mil
itary and police authorities. Applica-
tions exceeded 10000 when the time
limit expired tonight, with 1000 seats
available for allotment.
The principal opportunity for the
public to see the president will come
in the course ola parade from Com
ImoLwealth pier to his hotel.
i 1t may be that the president will re-
trace part of this route later, as word
came by radio today that he was will
ing to appear at a joint session of the

that he will speak only at Mechanics

CabIed Paragraphs
SENATOR BoRAH cRlTIcIsEs
THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Washington, Feb. 21.-Criticizing the
League of Nations as "the most radi-
cal departure" from President Wash
ington's policies and as spelling the
end of the Monroe Doctrine. Senator
Borah of Idaho. republican member of
the foreign relations committee. de-
clared today in the senate that before
The plan was adopted the American
people should be allowed to give a
verdict on it.
The Idaho senator, who recently de-
cllned President Wilson's invitation to
a White House conference next We'd
nesday to discuss the league consti-
tuition insisted that the United StaL-S
should steadfastly cling to the Ameri-
canism as established by the fathers
and as recently defined by former
President Taft with making mislead-
ing statements about the effect of the
leagues plan on American policies.
When Senator Borah concluded, af
ter speaking about an hour, an unus-
ual demonstration occurred. While
crowded galleries applauded. senators
and visiting representatives crowded
around the senator seeking to con-
graduate him.
Before Mr.. Borah spoke Senator
Sherman of Illinois. republican, intro
for future discussion, proposing that
the senate request President Wilson
not to discuss the league until after
he confers with the senate, the co-or-
dinate treaty making branch and to
preserve an impartial and unbiased
mand" on the subject, The reSoLH-
ton, which Senator Sherman pE1ns TO
discuss soon, recites that comment on
the league by the president before he
confers with the senate would be "un-
wise, undiplomatic and calculated to
promote discord" with the coordinate
body.
Senator Borah said he made his
speech today especially because of
what he q med misleading statements
OF former President Taft. He vigor-
ously disagreed with Mr. Taft's asser-
tions that the league does not conflict
with the Monroe Doctrine or Wash
lnStOn's Injunction against entangling
Europea alliances.
DECLARING thas America would be
outvoted five to one by England alone,
because of the recognition of British
colonies, Senator Borah said the
Ieague constitution was "the greatest
triumph of English Diplomacy of
three centuries" He declared that the
tentative constitution was almost
identical with that presented to the
peace conference last month by Cen
eraI Shuts. the British drafting rep-
rcsentative, and added that the Eng
llsh press and other foreign authori-
ties concede that the plan involves the
end OF the Monroe Doctrine.
