NEVER LOSE YOUR NERVE.

If you are going to die do it with
your boots on.
A young doughboy was brought in
from the field to the hospital. He was
a splendid specimen of young Ameri-
can manhood. The army surgeon ex-
amined his wounds, shook his head
and sought the chaplain.
"The boy cannot live" he said, "and
/ think it best that you tell him so"
The chaplain went to the doughboy's
bed. leaned over and whispered:
doc is little discouraged, buddy
Doesn't think there's much of a
chance. Is there something | could
do for you, old man?"
You mean, Pm going Vest" the
boy weakly asked.
But he didn't say how soon, you
know Probably-Is there some word
you want sent by me, personally?
You knowI'd do it. Isn't there some
thing / could do for you?"
The boy understood. He pointed to
his coat, and said, between painful
breaths:
My inside pocket"
The chaplain got the coat. felt the
inside pocket and extracted pocket
book. When he held it up, the boy
nodded
"Open il" he said.
The chaplain found it contained
ten dollar bill.
What shall / do with it," he asked.
The boy smiled grimly as he an
swered:

WORLD LEAGUE COVENANT
MUST BE REVISED,
DECLARES SEN. LODGE
Republican Floor Leader Declares
American People Should Insist
Upon Its Fundamental Re-
vision.

Washington, Feb. 28.-Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts, solemnly
warned the America people today to
carefully weigh the constitution of
the League of Nations as presented
to the peace conference at Paris and
to insist upon it's fundamental revis-
ion. Speaking in the Senate, the
Republican floor leader declared his
conviction that instead Of safeguard
ing the peace of the world, the lea
que as now planned would engender
misunderstanding and strife.
Delivering his first public utter
ance on the subject since the consti-
tuition became public, the Massachu-
setts Senator vigorously opposed the
plan and made specific recommenda-
tions for amendment. He declared
that as now drafted, the constitution
would contravene the Monroe doc
trine, strike at American sovereignty
involve America in all foreign dis
putes, substitute internationalism
for nationalism and be of benefit
principally to Europe.
Wants No Hasty Covenant.
Expressing complete sympathy
with the popular demand and efforts
toward an agreement for world peace
Senator Lodge said he was not pre-
pared to say that there could not be
a concert of the nations to safeguard
against war, but he insisted that the
agreement for such concert should
be drawn up calmly and deliberately
when the world was at peace and not
hastily when war still exists.

be chairman of the powerful Foreign
Relations Committee, in the next
Senate, which will act on the peace

war department.
Private Nicolas Locastle of the

Camp Greenleaf, Ca, was convicted
on charges of having refused to put
on the prescribed military uniform,
and two-t thirds of the members of the
court concurred in the death sen.
tence. Major General Sharpe, COM
manding the Southeastern Depart
ment, recommended that sentence be
commuted to dishonorable discharge
and rs years Imprisonment. The
president reduced the prison term to
Is years.
Private Benjamin Breger and Her
man D. Kaplan of the quartermaster

Camp Funston, recommended the
sentences be commuted to dishonor-
able discharge from the service, for
feiture of all pay and allowance, or
to become due, and to confinement
at hard labor for 25 years. The
president disapproved both findings
and sentences and ordered the SOL

endum.

Columbia, S. c., March 1.-The
house yesterday morning began to
clear the way for adjournment this
morning by clearing the calendar OF
all second reading bills.
One of those continued was the
Christensen-McGhee resolution from
the senate calling for a referendum
Of the question of State constitutions
al convention. This was passed in
the senate with only a few votes in
opposition, but a two-thirds majority
in the house was not likely to be
mustered. In that the question could
not be voted on until 1920 and no
strategical value would be gained by
the passage in the lower house this
session, the question was carried
over until next year and if approved
by the lower house, will stand in the
same relation as if passed at this
time.
The house passed and sent to the
senate a general game and fish pro-
lection bill. The open season for
partridges is fixed from November
Is to February Is.
Under the provisions of the bill a
county resident hunters license fee
is fixed at $1.10 and nonresident
at $3.10.
A nonresident of the State would
be required to pay S15.25 as a hunt
er's license. Non-residents of the
State would be required to pay Ii
cense fee of 1925 for a fishing IL
cense. Provisions of the act do not
apply to residents of the State who
wish to. hunt on their own land.

IRISH QUESTION
BRINGS DISPUTE
Tumulty Says President Wilson Was
Observation-Disclosures of Foreign
Relations Committee Declares
No Serious Reference Was
Made.

Washington, Feb. 28.-Just what
was said about Ireland at the White
House dinner conference Wednesday
night was the subject of interested
discussion at the capitol today after
Secretary Tumulty had issued a de-
nial of one statement attributed to
President Wilson. What Mr.. Tumul-
ty specifically denied and said on be-
half of the president was "a delib-
crate falsehood' was the following:
"The president told the committees
that the Irish question was matter
between Ireland and England and
that Ireland could not have any
voice in the peace conference at pre-
sent"
Mr.. Tumulty said he did not know
what papers had published the above
but that it had been quoted in tele-
gram to the White House. Many mes
sages of protest are said to have
been received from Irish organiza-
tions based on various reports of
the mention of Ireland at the confer
ence. Mr.. Tumulty declined to add
anything to his formal denial, when
asked what the president did tell his
guests.
Several members of the congress
sional foreign relations committee
who attended the conference inform
ed newspaper correspondents after
wards that the president had made
a statement to the general effect of
the one to which Mr.. Tumulty referr-
ed.
In attacking an account of the
conference by the New York Suns
correspondent on the senate floor to-
day, Senator Hitchcock, chairman of
the foreign relations committee, de-
clared that the Irish problem was
not brought up seriously, and said
at first that the president had not
answered the question asked on the
subject. Later, however, he accept
ed correction by Senator Williams
of Mississippi, who interrupted to
whisper a statement Of his recollec-
tion that the president did say that
the league had nothing to do with
domestic questions when asked about
Ireland.
Senator Borah of Idaho, pressed
Senator Hitchcock for a further ex-
planation.
eff I understood the senator cor
rectly," said Senator Borah, "what
the president said with reference to
the question since he has raised the
question himself, with reference to
Ireland was that the league had moth
ing to do with it,"
Mr.. Hitchcock said that that was
the recollection of the senator from
Mississippi and that he accepted it
as it was quite definite.
"And that" continued Senator
Borah, "was the matter therefore
with which the league had nothing
to do, but which must necessarily be
settled by Ireland and England"
"The senator can draw his own
conclusion, said Senator Hitchcock.
