Answering the contention
that the covenant is without
provision for enforcement, Mr..
Taft continued:
"The proposed league has
real Neth and a bite to it. 1t
furnishes real machinery to
organize the power of the
peaceful nations of the world
into economic and military ac-
ton, which by its very exist
ence and certainty will keep
nations from war and will force
them to the acceptance of a
peaceable settlement. This
will dispense with the necessity
for the exercise of economic
pressure or force"

With matches lowered and the blowers
Close up to the hidden mine,
Bare to the waist and dripping wet,
A grimed and gasping crew.
To shovel coal and feed the fire,
Until the sea fights through.
Where the check valves sigh with the
Kissing steam
And the greedy crate bars cry
''More.''
Like the galley slaves of olden time,
Chained to the bench and oar.
No cherubs sit i'm the bunker's dust.
To watch Ger us below,
While overhead the turrets clank'
AS they turn to find the foe.
The guardian Angels keep aloft,
None here the turbine means +,
There's nothing ahead il things go
wrong e5rf
But tickets to Davy Jones.
Forget yourself, Forget the world,
Forget the sun and sky,
In the boiler room you face your

LEAGUE COVENANT HAS
TEETH

m N a copyrighted editorial
in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger, former President
Taft shows that the covenant
OF the league of nations is
strong and enforceable, and in
n0wise contravenes the policies
or interests of the United
States.
Regarding the misconcep-
tion to which critics of the
covenant have given currency,
Mr.. Taft said:
rThe attitude of those who
favor the covenant has been
misconstrued, increasing the
confusion in the mind of the
public in respect to the inesti-
mable value of tFfe covenant as
it is. Were the alternative
presented exactly as it is, or of
postponing the coming of peace
and continuing the state of
war until the conference could
reconvene and make other pro-
visions for peace, 1 should
without the slightest fear as to
the complete safety of my
country under its provisions
vote for it as the greatest step
in the betterment of internati-
orial relations for the benefit
or the people of the world and
for the benefit of my country

FRENCH FOREST LOSSES

n RANCE will insist upon
lT Germany paying in lum-
Der for the casualties of
the French forests which were
destroyed during the war;" de-
clared Percival S. Ridsdale,
editor of American Forestry,
who has just returned to Wash
ington from a tour of the allied
countries. Mr.. Ridsdale went
to Europe to investigate forest
losses in France, Belgium,
Italy and Great Britain so that
the American Forestry associ-
alton, of which he is an officer,
might determine how America
could help to replace the de-
stroyed fol ests of Europe, by
presenting the various govern
ments with forest tree seed.
MANY of the forests in nor
thern France" he says, ''have
been so badly smashed by
shell, shrapnel and rifle fire,
or so badly cut for trench tim
bers, fuel wood, and other
supplies for the contending
armies that they have virtually
been destroyed. They can be
restored only by replanting.
The agricultural land lying be-
tween the forests in various
sectors of the battle front have
heen so torn to pieces by she'll
fire that they are no longer
for agriculture and
like the devastated forests, will
have to be planted with forest
tree seeds so that in years to
come the shell holes may be
filled by gradual erosion and
the humus of the soil restored.
"Then these planted forests
may be cut down and the land
worked over and restored for
agricultural use. The peace
delegates are now having pre-
pared for them data upon the
losses in the French forests,
and France means to insist up
on a large amount of cutting in
the German forests so that she
may be provided with lumber
for reconstruction purposes as
a part of the indemnity which
Germany will be required to
pay for the damage which has
been inflicted.
"Italy, Belgium and Great
Britain will make similar re-
quests, for they, too, have suf-
4 fered forest losses, and they,
too, need lumber in large
quantities and believe that
