INT one Vote for America.

Reading from the league constitution
Senator Reed said
1.-THE action of the members is TO be
effected through n body composed Of
delegates, OF the members. Each menu
Der has but one vote, but may have three
delegates So let me pause to mark II.
The United States Of America will
have one vote and only one vote in
this league The smallest nation ad-
mitted and the smallest Independent
colony admitted will have a vote equal
America.
II come now TO discuss the question
Of who will control this league. At
present 1t Is composed OF the known
signatories. They are the British En-
pire, an empire Italy, a monarchy
SurH a rnoaarchyAS.k. potisr france,
a republic; the United States, a republic.
Thus the league will be composed OF
three monarchies and two republics.
Who will control II, ! ask again?
TT must not be forgotten that France
Is under unreasonable obligations 10
Great Britain OF money and OF graft
tude. She is always bound to rely upon
Great Britain for assistance for ship
ping money and protection. The British
Empire holds the key to the Medlter-
ranrean. The Mediterranean is vital to
France. Upon the army and navy of the
British Empire France Is and always
must be dependent against the great
Germanic people.
Menace of 1000 Years.
This menace has been present for
1000 years The soil of Alsace- Lorraine
was watered with the blood OF contend
ing Gaul and Teuton before Christ was
born; and every century since the red
stain has been renewed. France knows
that = combination between Germanic
powers and tho British Empire would
mean her humiliation. She also knows
that cannot be prevented by the United
States OF America. Italy and France
are so similarly situated for the DUR
poses of this argument that what has
been said OF one may be applied to the
other Great Britain. France and Italy
are bound together by geographical con-
tinuty and by many common interests
In which the United States Is not con-
cerned and which may even be an
tagonistic TO us.
Japan has f"r many years beer the
close ally of Great Britain and IL bound
TO her by secret treaty alliance At
the same time she has been in a state Of
irritation against US so acute as to cause
grave fears OF war. So delicate has
eeen the situation that In very recent

Congress has always had. which even
the President did not have. which the
fathers OF the republic withheld from
the Executive and placed in the con-
troll of the representatives OF the peo-
pie. That power Is here vested In an
executive council eight members OF
which are foreign to the United States
and six members of which do not speak
the English language as their mother
tongue and six OF which are at present
representatives Of kings and spring from
countries that prefer, kings and mon
archies to republics.

Sheriff Engebret Larson drove into
own yesterday afternoon with hand
some Buick car which he picked up at
Tower City. He informs us that The
car was one that had been stolen erd
abandoned at Tower City. The car be-
longs to a Mr.. Reese at St. Paul ard
is thought to have been stolen at Chi
cago as the car had only been run one
thousand miles and had not passed
through the hands of the Minneapolis
agency which would indicate that the
car had been stolen right after it's pur-
chase and the thief abandoned it after
reaching Tower City.

Forest A. Doucette returned to VAL
ley City few days ago. He is one
Of the soldier boys who has seen real
service and comes back badly used up
as living example of what war is.
He was in the St. Mihiel drive and
was gassed, being up in the front lines
for nine months, building light rail-
roads. He was for seven months in
the hospital and today is still suffer-
ing from the terrible effects of the
gas. He is at the home of A. F.
Pierce recuperating. Mr.. Doucette
was formerly express messenger at
the N. P. depot here and his friends
hope that he will speedily recover his
health. At the present time he is
very weak. This young man has seen
what real war is, has been through
this hell and comes back to us shatter-
ed in health Yet we have people who
lived here in comfort who are so darn
ed stingy that they would not buy
bond to help pay the bills for the
splendid work these young men have
done for the best country on earth.

George Mcdonald recently returned
home from service in France. tr.
Mcdonald is another Of the boys from
here who saw some real service. He
was at Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel
and in the Argonne Forest and was
one Of the boys who went over the top
and he moderately admits it is not
half as pleasant as going to a picnic
party. He went out one night with
bunch of five or six men-he was in
the signal corps-and he was the
only one who came back. One was
captured prisoner, mother gassed, an
other badly hurt and so forth but he
got back to his base in safety and is
glad that he is still living. George
was in the 26th division. He says he
has had enough of war but he would
not want to be without the experience
he has attained through this service
