Too Much Retrospect.

| Rhetoricians are. constantly re-
minding us Of what George Washing
ton said about entanglng alliances.
He urged this country to keep aloof
from the problems with which Euro
| pean politics were interviewer. He
said it many years ago, when few
towns in America were as large AS
Lancaster.
As a rule we associate Washing
ton with Fourth of July celebration
with commencement exercises, and
mcllihous oratory. We think Of
brass bands and streaming banners.
At the mention of his name we Wis
ualize marble statues perpetuating
mis- image, and oil paintings preserv.
ing his features and the cut of his
uniform.
We rarely conceive him as being
intensely human. and abundantly en-
iowed with horse sense. We have
hung so many frills upon him that in
these encumbering vestments he
seems to voice pontifical utterances.
So that his remark about entangling
alliances has established religion.
very much as certain texts in the
Epistoles have established the ,enets
Of conflicting denominations.
Washington was no hierarch. He
was supremacy practical American,
and took things as he found them.
A voyage to Europe took many
weeks. and his country was IN no
way dependent on foreign trade.
European contemporary history was
series Of dynastic wars, and Amer
lea had nothing to gain and every
thing to lose by close association with
the Old World. Washington's pre-
cepts were uttered for the guidance
Of the newly born republic, just as
the Mosaic Law applied to lsreal Of
the Old Covenant.
Today these conditions are re-
versed. Europe is distant only five
days trip. European wars today
are not dynastic; they are largely
concerned with arguments between
classes-laborers, artifcers, bour-
geoisie, and andholders-who are
often peasants.
If Europe becomes a dangerous
place for americans it becomes
dangerous place for American goods
raw materials and manufactures.
We shall be restricted to markets on
this hemisphere, and, with the field
narrowed, prices will be cut in two
So will wages.
That is what Europe means to Us
today. We need net become par
tisans in every European territorial
quarrel, but no man in Lancaster who
is not Rip Van Wrinkle can fail to
recognize that Europe is for us liv-
ing reality-,-not a quaint storehouse
Of historical associations

Simple Rule for Success.

The path Of success in business Is
invariably the path of common sense.
Notwithstanding all that has been said
about ''lucky hits" the best kind Of sue

that which we are capable Of making
for ourselves. And we can only at
tain success by constantly thinking

ID Vlklk IN STATE
 AGAINST COVENANT
New Haven Men Join in Fight
 on in Congress

New Haven, July 17.-The League
 for the Preservation of American In-
 dependence has been organized in New
 York city with purposes of extension
 to every part of the United States
 The intention of the league is to bring
 popular support to the members of
 the United States senate who are op
 posed to the ratification of the cove nant of the league of nations, unless
 it is amended to safeguard the tradi-
 tional policies of the United States. It is partisan in character.
 The league is headed by Henry
 Watterson of Kentucky. The vice president and chairman of the board
 of directors is George Wharton Pep per of the University of Pennsylvania, author and lawyer. Henry A. Wise Wood, noted inventor, is the secre- tary. The treasurer is Stuyvesant Fish, the banker of New York cH'y. -
 On the board of directors is Louis A. Coolidge, governor of Massachu
 setts; 'eX-Senator Thomas Hardwick of Georgia, eX-Gov. E. C. Stokes of New Jersey, and a dozen more or less prominent men about the country.
 The organization of the league in Connecticut will be under the direc- tion of Attorney Seymour C. Loomis Prof. Charles M Bakewel, ex-Cov. Rollin s. Woodruff and several oth- CTS. A meeting will be called with in few weeks at which either a separate organization will be formed to be affiliated with. the present league or to be a separate and distinct organization with the same view in point and to later amalgamate with the organza- lions to be formed in every state in the union, at a convention probably to be held in Philadelphia in the fall. It is intended to make such an organi- zatiCn as will in the future either through the polls or by campaigns of education protect American indepen- dence from any foreign or internal influence, hereafter.
 It is expected that when the or ganization in Connecticut is brought about that Senator Frank B. Brande~ gee will be the first head. His recent caustiC comment on the league of na- tions brings him into line with the . purposes of the new organization and therefore he will be, il is said, asked to head the organization hereabOuts. 1
 Seymour c. Loomis, representative of the league in this city, said last night that in the establishment Of the organization there is absolutely no intention of forming a separate political party. The purpose of the i league" said MT. LoOmis, lis to unite , a,il persons of all political faiths in a 1! great organization to perpetuate the 1 independence of America, and pre- : vent it losing it's identity as a na- tion through any entangling alli- 1 ances.'
 MT oLomiS also said that there is l! no purpose on the part of the organ ] ization to bring the subject of prohi- l bition into the matter whatsoever. |

SENATOR COLT IN
 FAVOR OF LEAGUE
Rhode Island Republican Declares
 Monroe Doctrine Is Safe

Washington, July 17.-Announcins his support of the principles embodied in the League of Nations covenantE but withholding judgment regarding certain reservations, Senator Colt, re publican, Rhode Island, told the sen ate today that the nation must atz least see the great undertaking uponN which we have embarked in enteringH the war through to the end, which cant be done only by our becoming 8 mem Der of the league"
 Safeguard Monroe Doctrine.
 The senator declared himself unableI to agree with the objections that the league would create a super-state orI subvert the American constitution He said, however, that the Monroe Doc Urine must be clearly safeguarded and domestic questions left for national action.
 The league in its essence is simply an association of free nations" hel said. "The principle of international peace can be made secure has never been tried before. All other means of preventing war have failed. Not to try this experiment would leave the world in the same condition of international anarchy as 1t was before the war.
 If we believe that it would be dis honorable to withdraw from Europe at this time to desert France, Eng land and Italy in this critical hour when the whole world Is in 8 turmoil, then the United States should certain ly be in the league durjng this world settlement and until p"ace and order are restored.
 'I believe the great mass of Amer ican people are convinced that some thing must be done to prevent future wars. I am in favor of the principles embodied in the League of Nations. This does not mean that I have reached a decision that the league should be ratified in the precise form it is now presented.
 There has been much controversy over the question whether the league should not be separated from the peace treaty. I have always believed the league to be inseparabl from the peace treaty and the treaty cannot bA enforced except through the league.
 The provisions of the league with respect to arbitration or investigation and report have been criticized as not
 
 tend to prevent war. AS to the gener- al objection that the league creates a super state and hence is destructive Of our independence and sovereignty I am unable to see the force of the arguments in support of this proposi- ton.
 "Nor am I impressed with the con- stitutionaI objections. The treaty making power under the constitution is of the broadest character and in cludes everything that Is properly COW cred by the term treaty and is not in conflict with some express provision of the constitution.
 "I believe the popular sentiment is universal, and | certainly share 1t, that the Monroe Doctrine should be clearly safeguarded. I also believe that domestic questions, like immigra- tion which in some of their aspects may be international should be prop erly safeguarded. The storm center of these reservations seems to be Ar ticIe K AS to the retention of this article much may be said on both sides.
 Upon the question of reservations I reserve my judgment for full dis cussion and consideration"
