"But here are American officials, pre-
sumably appointed by the President,
working in the censor's Office and stop
ping any breath Of criticism of the
league of nations on this side of the
water, while President Wilson blandly
announces he is going to tell the mem

British Peace Enjoys
Agree England Must
Keep NnuGL Leadership

PARIS, March 14.-At a meeting of
the British Empire peace delegation
yesterday some aspects of the draft of
the covenant Of the league Of nations
were considered, especially as it affects
the future Of British naval needs. ac-
cording to Reuters Paris correspon-
dent.
A memorandum was submitted by the
British Admiralty bearing upon the ef
fccts Of the covenant on the navy and
making certain very specific sugges-
tions. These were duly considered
1t is understood that. broadly, the
delegation agreed that in fixing future
naval armaments the defensive needs
OF the scattered British Empire can be
adequately met only on the basis of the
pre-war proportion Of strength of the
BRUSH navy to that o. other navies.

extremely cool summer, which kept
down the usual summer mortality.
Food conditions, however. reached
point where nursing mothers could
not even nourish themselves. Recent
months show heartrendng increase
IN infant mortality, particularly in
large cities, whose milk supply has
been reduced to the vanishing point,
owing to the absence of cattle fodder,
the slaughter of mich cows and trans
portation difficulties.
Rising Generation Menaced
specialists on children report that
the mortality has continued to grow
steadily during the months since the
armistice, children of older years be-
ing equally badly off.
I'VE have no statistics later than
1917. For that year the deaths of
children of from one to five years were
Az per cent higher than in the last
peace year-1913-and the deaths of
children of from five to fifteen years
90 per cent higher. Unless Immediate
and adequate relief in the shape of
TODD supplies comes, our rising gen
Grafton is condemned either TO death
or to weakened maturity. cannot
believe that the American people wish
that. or that our aged people, on whom
the 1000 shortage and semi starvation
fall with equal severity, should be
swept away by death, as is now the
case"

Geneva as Capital of World League
Gaining Favor Of Peace Conferrees

An American authority says the
sentiment of the American delegation
never has been for The Hague. The
French favor Brussels because of Bel
gums part in the war and its prox-
unity to Paris and the close align
ment expected between Belgium and
France in the future. 1t is felt, how
ever, that Brussels is undesirable on
account of its inclement weather dur
ing large part of the year and the
fact that it is belligercnt capital.
Geneva, on the other hand, is a
Swiss city, where French influence is
strong, and is easily accessible to
France and England after the COM
pletion Of the Channel tunnel-as we'll
as the new Central European states.

PARIS, March 14.-Thc proposition
to make Geneva the capital of the
league OF nations is growing in favor
among the peace conferress. The Ameri-
cans think the Swiss city is the most
desirable location, as do Premier Or
lando and the Italian delegation.
France and Great Britain are not en-
thusiastc, but not inclined to oppose
the idea.
The opinion is pretty unanimous
against The Hague on account of Hol-
lands war record and the fear that
it would prove potential field for
German political influence and propa-
ganda.

Schwartzah gave $500 cash bail.
Mr.: kosovsk, formerly member of
the Russian government mission in

President.
1t is true the President might do
this by cabled proclamation his per-
sonal attendance upon the session not
being required, but even at best, it is
asserted, it is possible that the United
States might be placed in the peculiar
position of technically being alone at
war with Germany long after her asso-
cates had formally concluded peace
One solution of the problem that
has been suggested is that in the
peace treaty itself the date for form,
ally ending the war be placed far
enough in the future to permit of
action by the Senate in the interim,
but thus far no definite conclusion
has been reached.

plan do not believe it advisable or even
practicable to use the full force of the
league to compel obedience, and suggest
instead the adoption Of the plan of

opinion inclines toward giving the

the reconstruction policy in the edu-

as of native Americans.
The speaker reviewed the trials and
difficulties of whoever has attempted
to learn to read and write English;
he showed that these difficulties are
due to the regularity of our spell
ing; he gave an account of the recon-
mendations Of the simplified spelling
board to overcome this irregularity
by a program of gradual. progressive
simplification. and then proved, from
figures submitted. that the reform

The governor made one speech that
tickled everybody just about silly. He
told his audience some highly color

Telling his hearers about the great

The speaker claimed that at leas.

He showed, with lantern slides, how
