Should The United States
Join A League OF Nations?


We are EN- 4rginy from great war.
I say emerging because peace has not
yet been established. This war has
been Of such an audacious
charactef as/to concern the whole
world. 1T has involved the world, as
no wa has ever before done. We,
the /pted States of America, are
inter esoed in this cruel conhagration.
we /are in its wicked raeshes i'm
me Asely. We have contributed bill
II ans in its support We have con-
dlbuted thousands upon thousands Of
noble lives its sacrifice. We have
made ,me patriotic service offer
ing of men, women, boys, girls, and
millions upon millions, of all which,
notwithstanding, we are not in the
least regretful
We, entered the war with prompt
ness and cheerfulness; but some
are talking about getting out of it
less commercially.
The world concerned in this great
strife must be made over, made in
to a new world. Columbus discover
ed a new world; but the new world of
1919 will not be by discovery but by
the reform that finds its way into
Reconstruction.
= The old, unlike the leopard, will
change its spots; and come forth in
a new; and we must hope more de-
sirable form. This new world must
be broader and better in life, liberty
and happiness. 1t must have these
essentials in better form, spirit and
purpose. The high and the low must
be given more equal standing and all
classes must know better life; must
enjoy a better civilization; or a great
world wide mistake will be made

Pail Pail Gazette, commenting on
President Wilson's expressed con-
viction that an overwhelming ma
iority of the American people are
in favor OF a league OF nations,
says:
THAT is undoubtedly the case,
but the crucial question is whether
they are prepared to pledge the
practical resources and action OF
their country TO vindicate the
league when it is formed. Unless
America is prepared to share in the
collar work of the league she can
have no voice in its policy"
The Westheimer Gazette, in eX-
pressing the hope that the league
will be much more than a debating
society, says that even if it is a
debating society it probably would
have prevented this war had it
been in operation in 1914, and it
will be an insurance against other
Wars springing from the same mo-
tives.

THE HAGUE SUGGESTED
AS HEADQUARTERS FOR
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Paris. March 5.-"It is highly re-
grettable that the Belgian press has
taken a hostile attitude toward Hol-
land. ] cannot believe this attitude
interprets the feelings Of a million
Belgians who found refuge on
Dutch soil in 1914" said DR.. John
Loudon today on being questioned
as to possible friction between Bel
gium and Holland.
Doctor Loudon, who was former
ly Dutch minister at Washington
and was foreign minister Of Iol-
land during the war, is in Paris
for a brief sojourn. In discussing
The situation he said that comment
in the Belgian press as to Hollands
neutrality during the struggle was
misleading, pointing out that the
orange books published by the
Dutch government, would prove the
real facts.
Asked as to the continued stay OF
the former German emperor and
crown prince on Dutch soil, Doctor
Loudon declared that their sojourn
was only temporary, until an agree
ment between the Dutch and en-
tente governments could be reach
ed.
Referring to a report that Presi
dent Wilson had definitely proposed
that the Hague may be made a sea-

Loudon said: 81 have no informa

Extreme Anxiety in Berlin


London. March 5.-"EXtreme anX-

Berlin correspondent OF the Daily
Mail. There is much uncertainty
among foreign residents regarding
their position, especially after the
anti-American demonstration OF
Sunday and the anti-Italian dis
turbance at another hotel. 1t is
even rumored that the government
does not feel able to guarantee the
security Of strangers, but no indi-
cation to this effect has reached
the entente authorities"
The Spartacans have inaugurated
a movement to seize Koenigsburg,

THIRD GENERAL STRIKE

Havana, March 5.-The third
general strike that Cuba has faced
within the last six months began
last midnight when union men, es-

nit the companies to operate one
car on each OF the lines. The
