M U oI HAN L LEAG U F.
 While introducing into the world as much harmony as possible you will, in conformity with the fourteenth of the propositions unanimously adopted by the great allied powers, establish a general league of nations which will be the su- preine guarantee against any fresh as sault upon the rights of peoples. You do not intend this international asso- citation to be directed against anybody in the future. It will not, of a set pur- pose, shut out anybody, but having been organized by the nations that have sac rifced themselves in the defense of right, it will receive from them it's statutes and fundamental rules.
 "It will lay down conditions concern. ing present or future adherence, and, as it is to have for it's essential aim the prevention as far as possible of the re- newals of wars, it will, above all seek to gain respect for the peace which you will have established and will find it the less difficult to maintain in proportion as this peace will in itself imply the greater realities of justice and safer guarantees of stability.
 By establishing this new order of things you will meet the aspirations of humanity, which, after the frightful con vulsions of the blood-stained years, ar dently wishes to feel itself protected by a union of free peoples against the every possible revival of primitive savagery. An immortal glory will attach to the names of the nations and the men who have desired to cooperate in this grand work in faith and brotherhood and who have taken the pains to eliminate from the future peace causes of disturbance and instability.
 This very day 4S years ago-on the eighteenth of January, 1S71-the German empire was proclaimed by an army of invasion in the chateau at Versailles. It was consecrated by the theft of two French provinces. It was thus a viola tion from it's origin, and, by the fault Of it's founders, it was born in injus- tice.
 "It has ended in oblivion.
 You are assembled in order to repair the evil that has been done and to pre- vent a recurrence of it. You hold in your hands the future of the world. 1 leave you gentlemen to your grave de- Alterations and declare the conference of Paris open"

DEMANDS PUNISHMENT

What justice also demands, inspired by the same feeling, is the punishment of the guilty and effective guarantees against an active return of the spirit by which they are prompted and it is log ica1 to demand that these guarantees should be given, above all, to the nations that have been and might again be most exposed to aggression or threat, to those who have many times stood in danger of being submerged by the periodic tide of the same invasion.
 What justice banishes is the dream of conquest and imperialism, contempt for national will, the arbitrary exchange of provinces between states, as though peo- pies were but articles of furniture or when diplomatists can meet to redraw with authority the map of the empires on the corner of table. If you are to remake the map of the world it is in the name of the peoples, and one condi- tion is that you shall faithfully interpret their thoughts and respect the right of nations, small and great, to dispose of themselves and to reconcile with this the equally sacred right of ethnical and re- ligious minorities-a formidable task which science and history your two ad- visers, will contribute to assist and fa- clitate.

This victory is complete, for the enemy only asked for the armistice to escape from an irretrievable military disaster.
 "fn the interest of justice and peacs 1t now rests with you to reap from this victory its full fruits. In order to carry out this immense task you have decided to admit at first only the allied, or associated powers, and in so far as their interests are involved in the debates, the nations which re. mained neutral. You have thought that the terms of peace ought to be settled among ourselves before they are com municated to those against whom we have fought the good fight. The solid arity which has united us during the war and has enabled us to win military success ought to remain unimpaired during the negotiations for and after the signing of the treaty.

 ,"It is not only the governments but free peoples who are represented here. To the test of danger they have learned to know and help one another They want their intimacy of yesterday to as- sure the peace of tomorrow. Vainly would our enemies seek to divide us. If they have not yet renounced their customary maneuvers, they will soon find that they are meeting today, as during the hostilities, an homogeneous block which nothing will be able to dis integrate.
 Even before the armistice you reached that necessary unity under the aid of the lofty moral and political truths of which President Wilson has so nobly made himself the interpre- ter, and in the light of these truths, you intend to accomplish your mission
 You will, therefore, seek nothing but justice, justice that has no favorites jus tice in territorial problems, justice in financial problems. justice in economic problems But justice is not inert, it does not submit to injustice.

This Battery Pointer
Nav Save You Trouble

Don't be too generous with the
distilled water when you're putting
it in batteries" says Elmer Rosen-
gren of the Nebraska Storage Bat
terry company. IF you are, you're
likely to do just as much harm as if
you neglected to put any water at
all in.
"Of course. water is necessary, but
the idea is to put in just enough to
replace the amount that has evap-
grated. If you put in more, you're
getting into trouble in two ways:
you're weakening the battery and,
worse than that, you're taking the
first step toward running your bat
terry box.
IF the water remained in the bat
terry as water, there would be no
chance Of damage, but it doesn't.
1t mixes right in with the acid.
consequently, if your batteryi is too
full, the acid begins to slop out at
the top with the first hard jolt and
keeps spilling little by little until
the damage is done. This acid is
strong enough to eat through wood
or iron, and will take the wooden
bottom right out of the battery box.
you'll sidestep a lot of trouble if
you remember, when you add dis
titled water, to stop as soon as the
solution rises to half an inch over
the tops of the battery plates"

Cadillac Distributors
Hold Big Convention

The Cadillac factory at Detroit
was last week the scene of a large
convention, attended by Cadillac
distributors from every part of the
United States. The intention of
this meeting was to stimulate sales
and service. Talks were given by
the leading distributors on their
sales methods and policies of service
to Cadillac owners. On Wednesday
evening a banquet was given by the
factory at the Pontchartrain hotel.
According to a wire received by
the local Cadillac agency from ]. H.
Hansen, president Of the firm, ship
ments of Cadillac cars are again be-
coming normal; in fact, one day last
week IFS cars were shipped to dis
tributors. Naturally it will be
considerable time before all the cars
which have been sold are delivered,
but, quoting from Mr.. Hansen's
wire, Existing conditions with re-
gard to production look very favor
able" The Omaha Cadillac agency
is hoping that by December | all
orders which have been placed by
customers to date will be filled. 1t
will be some time, however, before
orders from Cadillac cars can be
taken for immediate delivery"

count of a poor drive. But let us
assume Plat had bungled his sec
ond (Which he did not do). I'm
rnediately the argument that the
second is the all important shot
would have splendid backing and
proof. 49,.
Advance Figuring Difficult.
The other day I played with a
friend Of mine. We were at the
twelfth hole, which called for a
drive and pitch. His second found
a trap, while mine was on the green
about 20 feet from the hole. Under
such conditions any. golfer would
instantly say that the second shot
on that hole was the all-important
one. But wait a minute. Here is
what actually happened:
Playing out of the trap, my op-
ponent's ball landed on the green
and rolled into the cup for three.
Quite as easily, my third failed to
hole and was defeated on a hole
which looked for all the world like
mine. Figuring in advance on the
all-important shot is most difficult.
One is able to do so far better after
each hole and match is played.
Little Room for Doubt. X
Against Chick Evans at the anna
teur we were all even going to the
thirty-sixth hole of our match.
Playing that, my second was sliced
into trap to the right of the green.
Chick hooked his second and it came
to rest just off of and to the left
of the green. Playing my third
from the trap, l laid it seven or eight
feet from the hole. Chicks approach
shot ran IS feet past the cup. That
third shot of his was the all-impor-
tant one for him, while mine proved
to be my putt. AS I managed to
run down that putt, it simply gave
more ammunition to support those
golfers who claim putting is the all
part of the game.
So goes the game of golf. So it
will ever continue to 60. Each
stroke has its supporters with am
pie proof that it is the all-important
one of the game. But when all the
facts are in, when every argument
is presented, there is little room to
doubt that each shot is as important
as the other and that the next one
to be played is the all-important one
in every match.

BY FRANCIS OUIMET.

Nearly every golfer is constantly
claiming that one stroke or another
is the most important in competi-
ton. This argument generally set.
ties down to the relative merits of
the mashie and the putter. For
many years the putter was. be-
lieved to be the club which won
matches and there was proof abun-
dant to substantiate this. OF late
years the mashie has had its fol-
lowers. Their claim was that its
mastery decided THE issue.
Several years ago we had = dis
cussion with 4 friend on this very
subject-which golf stroke is the all
important one. He was of the view
that the second shot, the one played
to the green, was the most vital OF
all. Certain matches every golfer
has to play offer sufficient proof OF
this, but just the same I cannot
quite agree with him. To be sure.
when two golfers meet who are
equally good drivers the one who
plays his approach shots closest to
the pin has decided advantage, but
that is not always the case in COM
petition.
All Strokes Important.
Our own experience has been that
no one stroke is more important
than another, and we will briefly
state the reasons for this belief. We
feel that fine drive is equally as
for example, as fine
second or a good putt. AT Pitts
burgh during the amateur, the writ
er lost to Woody Plat because he
hooked his tee shot into such a lie
that he never had chance to play
his second.
On TIE other hand Woo, Plat
followed up fine tee shot with an
equally fine second All of which is
fairly good proof that the drive is

0dell Shows That Highway
System Would Supply
IS Per Cent of
People.

1t is possible to build Z hard-sur-
faced highway system of $4,000
miles. so located as to serve directly
46 per cent of all the counties of
the United States and indirectly II
per cent of all the Others. For an
annual expenditure OF $l00OO0,0OO-
hardly 81 person per year-this
fundamental road system could be
completed in 121-2 years, and it
would serve 81 per cent of the total
population of the United States.
Such is the statement of the United
States department of labor.
The growing needs of the coun-
try demand that some such compre-
hensive highway system be con-
structed," says R. S. Odell, vice
president and general manager of
the OdellHanilton company, repre-
sentatives in this territory for Mack
trucks.
Must Have Foresight.
an the past there has been too
great a lack of foresight on the part
OF road builders. They have lacked
vision to foresee the requirements
of even five years ahead. A road
built today must be built, not with
the idea of present traffic, but that
of 10 years in the future.
The growing need of the day is
for transportation. We have simply
got to provide it. We cannot stop
it, and the sentiment of the coun-
try will not tolerate any handicap
OF our transportation system.
With each year the railroads are
becoming more and more made
quate. Motor transportation is
growing economical necessity,
fact that is being recognized more
and more each day as motor trucks
are called upon to handle traffic that
the railroads cannot accommodate.
Need of Good Roads.
Estimates prepared by engineer
ing authorities show that the United
States could afford to spend ST.
250,000000 on hard surfaced road
system Of $4,000 miles which would
serve directly and indirectly 81 per
cent of the population of the en-
tire country. Not only would such
a system be an economic asset that
would pay for itself many times
over but its construction would
provide work for many thousands
of people for a number of years,
and in that respect alone would
have great business value to the
country in general. !
war increases business to re-
place the great losses of destruc-
ton; but the development of ma
ton in times Of peace provides a.
more normal and healthy market
for labor and material that can be
made a stabilizer of business and
industrial conditions.

system is a necessity, and as soon
as the nation can complete the plan
conditions will force putting it into
operation"

The amateur mechanic is often
puzzled as to how to remove a
dent from a tank. Solder a tire
valve to the filler cap and then
pump air into the tank, meanwhile
tapping lightly around the edges of
the dent with a leather mallet. The
pressure of the air in the tank will
push the dent out even with the rest

Gauge Glass Cutting.

The car owner is often puzzled to
make a clean break of glass cylin-.
der, such as is used on gauges OF
various sorts. A simple method OF
doing this is to twist . section OF
light resistance wire around the
glass at the point where it is desired
to be cut. The ends Of the wire must
be connected to two binding posts
and these are then connected with
the line circuit. When the current is
turned on the wire becomes hot and
heats the glass, which is then
plunged into cold water. The result
is an even fracture at the desired
point.

Using Hand Pump.

In the use of the hand tire pump
the average motorist makes the mis-
take of pumping in short, quick
strokes. The proper method is to
pull the handle up all the way and
then force it clear down to the bot
tom of the pump. This gives the
benefit of the full volume of air
and the longer strokes are much
less firing than the short, jerky
