Why not give every returned sol

Every soldier, COB, leatherneck and
nurse will have the chance to give
their dollars to the Red Cross when
the membership roll call drive comes

them through the overseas or Amer

opportunity to renew his membership
or take out one in the Red Cross when
the drive is commenced next month.
Arrangements for the drive through
the county are progressing nicely and
Keokuk and Lee county people are
going to see that the quota Is not
discounted.
Money from these memberships is
going to be used in the home service
work of the Red Cross, and in the

that it must be adopted as part, of
the treaty of peace. The Senate has
been ready for months to approve any
considerable treaty Of peace. If there
has been delay in attaining peace the
responsibility rests upon President
Wilson and upon him alone. The Sem
ate has been ready for months to con-
slider league of nations covenant,
but insisted that matter of such vital
concern to the future of this nation
must be considered solely upon its own
merits and not interviewer with the
question of restoration of peace. The
Senate has been absolutely right in
both particulars, and the President as
clearly wrong. History will so record
the story Of President Wilson's attempt
to subjugate this nation to super
state in which Great Britain would
have six votes to our one.

Gas Turned on

Gen. March has testified before the
Military Affairs Committee Of the
Senate that the War Department has
taken a stand against the further use
OF poison gas, and believes that chemi-
cal warfare should be abolished. As
step in that direction there is a
provision in the Army reorganization
bill now before Congress to consolidate
the chemical warfare service with the
engineers department. Senators pre-
sent called attention to the fact that
thirty per cent Of American casualties
in the war were due to gas, the in
timation being that if we should find
ourselves in another war where the
enemy resorted to gas we would be
at = great disadvantage If We could
not retaliate in kind.

Opponents of the league Of nations
heard with much satisfaction the re-
port Of the interview between Senator
Fernald and the President. 1t is un-
derstood that Mr.. Wilson told the
Senator that he counted on at least
sixty men in the Senate who would
take a world view Of the present
crisis. Exactly So" replied Mr.. Fern
aid, but at least sixty men in the
Senate in their world view include in
its scope the United States Of Ameri-
ca" 1t is significant that shortly
after Senator Fernald's call at the
White House the daily interviews that
Mr.. Wilson had been conducting with
individual Senators were suddenly dis
continued, and the President left the
topic of the league to turn his atten-
ton to the high cost of living, a sub
ject that has been before the eyes of
the ordinary citizen for months, but
which Mr.. Wilson has just discerned.

WASHINGTON NOTES
Mexico Unmasked

Washington, Aug. 19-(Special' cor
respondence)-Byu unanimous vote the
Senate has authorized the Feoregn Re
lations Committee to investigate the
situation in Mexico. Acting under
that authority Chairman Lodge has ap-
pointed subcommittee, consisting Of
Senators Fall, Brandegee, and Smith
Of Arizona, to conduct the inquiry. The
resolution OF the Senate gives the com
mittee full power to investigate amy
and all acts of the governments OF
Mexico and its citizens in derogation
of the rights of the United States or
of its citizens" 1t is probable that
the committee will postpone most Of
its activities until after the German
treaty and the league of nations have
been disposed OF in the Senate, but
when that time arrives it Is the IN
tention to go to the border and gath
er information at first hand of condi-
tions as they are. No other man In
the Senate has the intimate knowledge
of Mexican affairs possessed by Senat-
or Fall of New Mexico who will head
the committee, Senator Brandegee is
Il trained Investigator and cross-ex-
aminer, and Senator Smith, although
u Democrat, has long been Disguised
with the Mexican policy Of the admin
istration, that has resulted In the death
Of citizens of his own State and the
destruction Of their property. The
country can rest assured that the com
ing inquiry will be exhaustive, and the
recommendations the committee will
submit will be those best suited to put
stop to the present intolerable con-
ditions-

Enforce The Law

Representative Edmund Platt of
New York believes that if the provis-
ion in the food control act prohibiting
the willful destruction or deterioration
of foodstuffs were enforced long step
would be taken toward reducing the
high cost of living. To his mind the
cold storage of great quantities of food
is not of itself great evil unless its
owners hold it until spoiled rather
than put in on the market and lower
prices.

Senate Ready

There were two declarations in the

March 4, 1919. One vas that the
league of nations covenant, in the
form proposed, should not be accept
ed by the Senate. The other was that
peace with Germany should be con-
summated first and then the question
Of league of nations taken up for
consideration. President Wilson de-
fled both of these declarations. He
insisted that the league covenant must
be accepted in the form proposed, and
