Mr.. Arnold, a former member Of
the British parliament, is the first
lecturer who has come to Moline
who has spoken in favor of the
league of nations. Mr.. Arnold de-
Clared that America can no longer
afford to live by herself, surround
ed by a doctrine announced 100
) ears ago, and disregarding the
problems of all other nations OF
the world.
''The league of nations means, !"
said Mr. Arnold, that we will full
fill the gift of freedom that we have
allotted to Bohemia, Serbia, the
Czecho-Slovaks and other smaller
nations. 1t must have our utmost

England IS not the enemy Of
America, as some opponents of the
league of nations have intimated.
The English fleet stood ready to
save America from Germany when
the United States was at war with
Spain 20 years ago."
Mr.. Arnold spoke of America,
England and France as the great
trilogy of Democratic nations to
whom all smaller nations would

FIGHT FOR CHOCOLATE.

Paris-ChiIdren born In France
since the beginning of the war have
just made a glorious discovery.
They have tasted chocolates. In a
congested quarter of Paris, writes
an Associated Press correspondent,
line stretching for more than a
hundred yards wanted a chance to
enter a grocery store. Four police
men were keeping order among the
crowd and women were actually
struggling for a place in the line.
what are they fighting for?" a
policeman was asked
THE store is selling a quarter of
a pound of chocolate to each one
responded the officer. That is the
reason why you see so many bear
ing their children in arms, they are
allowed a half pound then"
The correspondent asked one of
the women who had with a her a
fine child and was stubbornly hold
ing her place on the slippery,
slushy sidewalk, whether she
thought it was worth while to risk
pneumonia in order to get half
pound of chocolate.
You see," she replied, "this
baby has never yet tasted checo-
late"
