to be under the sovereignty of the
states which formerly governed

ditions of the modern world. there
should be applied the principle that
the we'll being and development OF
such peoples form a sacred trust OF
civilization and that securities for
the performance Of this trust should
be embodied in this covenant.
The best method of giving prac-
ticable effect TO this principle is the
tutelage of such peoples be entrust-
ed TO advanced nations. who by rea-
sons of their resources, their ex-
perience or their geogra phicaI po-
sition can best undertake this re-
sponsibility. and who are willing to
accept il, and that this tutelage
should be exercised by them as
manufactures on behalf Of the league.

development of the people, the geo
graphical situation of the territory.

CORRECTION
OLA GREAT
CANARD

A reporter for THE OASIS was
informed upon the other evening
with relation Of a startling story
which is very interesting, if true,
and he turned it in with his notes of
other occurrences Of the day. But it
turns out to have been untrue, and
for that reason this statement is
given place.
The story was that Mrs. F. F.
Rodriguez had acquired fine sing
ing voice by having had pneumonia
with hemorrhages of the bronchial
apparatus. The story is utterly
without foundation: Mrs. Rodriguez
has never had pneumonia or hemo-
rrhages. So, with that false the
whole story falls to the ground.
The article attracted great deal
of attention, and many inquiries
have been made, much to the annoy
ance and distress of Mr.. and Mrs.
Rodriguez; for which reason this
statement and apology is given.
