IEAGUE OF NATIONS

The resolution indorsing the league
 of nations adopted by the convention
 Tuesday reads as follows:
 "Whereas The Woodmen of the World
 was organized in the United State of America for the protection of Amer ican homes, and whatever affects the welfare of this great nation affects the ! welfare of this great order and, l "Whereas, An association of states under a special covenant for the pur- pose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to the great and small states | alike, has given to the greatest repub- lie on earth, the United States of Amer ica. both it's name and its strength; and, | Whereas, Civilization and commerce l has developed to such an extent that 1 the whole world is linked together in such a common life and interest that no nation can engage in war without affecting the interest of the other na- 1 tions of the world; and, Whereas, The great world war was brought to victorious close by the as sociated powers of the free nations of | the world; and,
 "Whereas We believe that an associ- ation of free nations under a special covenant for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political indepen- dence and territorial integrity to great
 
 the world what-a union of states has done for the United States of America; Therefore be it resolved by the head camp of the Woodmen of the World of Alabama, That We advocate the es tablishment of a league of nations; league that will promote the liberty, progress and orderly development of the world: league that will bring such permanent peace that autocracy can never again use its fellowmen as pawns and tools with which to kill and devas- tate a league that will be so strong that the mothers of America can never say their sons have died in vain.
 Be it further resolved, That we fla vor the entrance of the United States into such league, and believing the league of nations now advocated by our noble President, Woodrow Wilson, con stitutes such a league, we favor its adoption by the Senate of the United States.
 Be it further resolved, That copies of this resolution be sent to the Pres ident of the United States, the sena- tors of Alabama, and to Hon. William H. Taft. president of the League to Enforce Peace, at 130 West Forty SOC ond street, New York"
