When the war work OF the Y. w. G..

the most interesting stories will lie In

There day after day prlncpsses work

THE LEAGUE
BY TREATY
CONTINUED from Page Three)

ing of the Constitution rs to the pow
ers of the nation and the rights OF
tn estates lasted for generations and
is not yet ended; II q single phase Of
the debate over safe and national
rights occupied years, eliminating in
the immortal intellectual combat be-
tween Stephen A. Douglas and Abra-
ham Lincoln; II every great oues-
ton in every free country has re-
auir9d long period OF discussion
and thought before the people could
reach a conclusion upon II, should
not this, one OF the biggest. deepes,
and most far reaching proposals ev
er made to the American people, also
receive careful an edxtended public
examination before the people are
called upon to render their verdict?
AIM NOT TO PREVENT WAR
IF the league of nations may not
be good thing, certainly the agitat-
ed days following great war should
not be seized upon to saddle the
country with policy It has not ex-
amined and which is no necessary
part of the making OF peace. I,for
one, am entirely ignorant of what
the President means by a league of
nations. The American people do
not know. Our judgments must to-
day be hypothetical Conceptions
of a league OF nations range from a
sort OF world republic to a mere en-
tente for certain purposes OF the
United States and its chief allies,
something that need not necessarily
cause alarm. Where would justice
and good faith and civilization be
today IL those powers had not leag-
ued together to vindicate them? Are
justice and good faith so sure to pre-
vail in an experimental league of all
nations, hastily created now, and
are we ready to surrender our ma.
tional conscience to such a league?

WATSON A CANDIDATE

Speaking Of the possible candid

ator Bert M. Fernald of Maine feat
ures the prediction that Senator
James E. Watson of Indiana, is to-
day the most logical person to whom
that honor may be accorded at the
Republican National convention.
This prediction made by one Of
our Maine senators, and endorsed by
Justice Philbrook, in the presence Of
a little gathering about the big fire
place In the Augusta House was to
q representative Of The Times who
had asked the senator's opinion
as to the outlook.

self in his work that he continued
to exercise that authority through
out the time that he remained in the

won distinctive recognition and has
made strong impression for the
forceful manner in which he handles
legislative matters and is consider

COLONEL KING

Legion of Honor Insignia BestOw.
ed Upon Former Rock Island
Arsenal Officer.
MARSHAL PETAIN CONFERS 1T
Recognition From French Govern
ment Bestowed for Work ON
Ordnance Shops.

Colonel David NJ. King, one of the
most popular officers ever station
ed at Rock Island arsenal, has re-
ceived the decoration of the Legion
of Honor from the republic of
France. The decoration was con-
ferred by Marshal Petain of the
French army.
Colonel King was never strong
for medals, nor pomp, nor glory.
He is one of the go to it" type of
men who find chief pleasure in life
in doing efficiently, and at once,
and well, those things they are call
ed on to do. The decoration is but
a reflection of the fact that Colonel
King has measured up to his re-
sponsibilities over there, as he
measured up to them while station
ed here, and his friends will rejoice
in the official recognition that has
come to him.
Here For 10 Years.
Colonel King was stationed at
Rock Island arsenal for 10 years,
leaving here in July of 1917 to go
to France to organize and build
United States ordnance supply
shops. He has been overseas IA
months.
