Analyses Covenant
Of League Of Nations
Hamilton Holt Speaks to
Crowded House
Brings First Personal Message
from the Peace Conference

Before a crowded house in Wolf
Hall last night, Hamilton Holt,
editor of the New York Independ-
ent, gave his impressions Of the
Peace Conference. For nearly two
hours he held his audience to the
closest attention and evoked pro-
longed applause for his mastery
summing up Of the inception,
growth and provisions OF the COW
enant of the League of Nations.
To prove his preliminary state
ment that the idea Of league OF
nations is as old as recorded his
tory. he cited instances from Bibli
cal history, Greek classics, and rec
ent history. He differentiated be-
tween federation and confederation,
the one. a close bond such as unites
the Netherlands, the Swiss and the
United States; the other, looser
association Of sovereign states
leagued together for offensive and
defensive action, against leagues or
considerations.
The proposed league is the first,
he said, to attempt union against
war itself, the common enemy OF
all. Credit for first promulgating
the idea Of league for peace, he
gave to Andrew Carnegie, who in
1905 made the statement that if the
four great powers, England,
France, United States and Ger
many, should unite in declaring
that there should be no more war,
their action would effectually abol-
ish it.
He followed the unfolding Of the
idea in this country, the meetings
of the American Peace Congress-,
the recognition accorded this body
by President Taft, the first head OF
a great nation to recognize peace
conference, and told facetiously of
series Of dinners given by HIM
self, and Theodore Marburg, the
presentation of the idea to thinkers
and to statesmen and the four
principles evolved there and re-
drafted by President Taft as the
fundamental principles of the
League to Enforce Peace. This pre-
liminary draft, he declared, will
in future. years be as interesting a
document as the Declaration Of In
dependence is now.
The coincidence of confidential
QUESTIONABLE received at this time
from Lord Bryce proved to him
that when the world is ripe for a
great idea it is suggested simultane-
ously to groups Of thinking men in
different parts Of the world. He
told of the endorsement Of the i&ea
by President Wilson, since which
time it has become the guiding star
of the American nation. He con-
trasted the attitude Of the Euro
pean to whom the League idea has
become a religion with that of the
ordinary American to whom in most
cases it has been until recently a
matter of Indifference. The change
in the attitude of governments
which in the beginning were con-
servative was exemplified by an ac.
count of an audience the speaker
had a year ago with Clemencear
who expressed his indifference tC
what was termed a Utopian scheme
by saying. ."I'll leave all that tc

fore all of that can come to pass.

Salvation Army
Drive Under Wav
Chairman Frazer Appoints
Local Committee
Returned Soldiers Enthusias-
tic in Praise of Overseas
Work

Last Monday the Salvation Army
began its campaign for the pur-
pose OF raising thirteen million dol
lars to put the work of the organiza
ton on a permanent footing.
Judging from the expressions of
the soldiers who have returned from
overseas, these men will give en-
thusiastic support to the cause, for .
of all organizations doing relief
work overseas, the Salvation Army
and the Red Cross have endeared
themselves most to the American
soldier. One doughboy wrote to his
mother here recently: Don't for
get the Salvation Army in your war
contributions, mother. Their work
ers followed us farther up toward
the firing line than those of any
organization | came in contact with.
and furnished us with supplies
whether we had the money or not"
Expressions Of admiration are also
heard from those in civilian life
who have followed closely the cur
rent OF events at home and abroad.
Lloyd c. Adley, who was wound
ed severely in action and has rec
emily returned from Walter Reed
Hospital tells Of splendid service
rendered by the Army. They al
ways saw to it that the boys were
fed, and frequently baked pies and
made doughnuts under shell fire,
he says, and quotes many express
!siOns Of praise from men with whom
he came in contact testifying to the
excellent service done by these
workers.
Mayor Eben B. Frazer, local
chairman for the drive met with
the members of the state organiza-
tion in Wilmington on Monday and
was one of the speakers. He pledg-
ed the support of this district and
announced that his committees
were already at work. He expressed
his own faith in the Salvation
Army, stating that it was but
reflection Of the opinions expressed
by every man who had returned
from overseas and of every think
ing person whose admiration was
aroused by this lowly organization s
wonderful achievement with little
or no financial backing save that
derived from tambourine collec-
tions.
The quota for the state is $780,
600. No attempt has been made to
assign quotas to individual districts
but each is urged to do it's best. One
point made clear in the Monday
meeting is that $4,000 of this
fund will be used in the state to
equip building in Wilmington
which will house the Salvation
Army and provide meeting place
for all its departments. Enthusias-
tic support of the measure is COM
ing from quite unexpected courses,
and no doubt exists in the minds
of the workers but that the drive
will be short.

A telegram was received this
morning from Dean Allan r. Culli-

Engineering, who has been on leave
Of absence for more than a year
in the service Of the government.
He announces that he has positive
assurance of his release in ample
time to resume his work here the

especially gratifying to the college,
for Dean Cullimore gave new i'm
petus to the department and took
a deep interest in college and COM
munity activities.
His service to the government
consisted in rehabilitation work
among wounded soldiers. Recently
he has been stationed at San Fran
cisco but his activities epbraced
various points on the Pacific Coast.
