everywhere the American uniform These men came into the war after we had uttered our purpose. They came as crusaders, not merely to win war, but to win a cause. And l am responsible to them, for it falls to me to formulate the purpose for which asked them to fight and I, like them, must be crusader for these things, whatever it costs and whatever it may be necessary to do in honor to accom- plish the object for which they fought.
 q have been glad to find from day to day that there is no question of our standing alone in this matter, for there are champions on this cause, on every hand. have only tried in what I have said to give you the fountains of the enthusiasm which is within us for this thing, for those fountains spring, it seems to me, from all the ancient wrongs and sympathies of mankind, and the very pulse of the world seems to beat to the fullest in this enterprise"
 Lloyd George Speaks.
 At the conclusion of the reading of a translation of President Wilson's speech, Premier Lloyd George said:
 ''I should not have intervened at all, but it was necessary for me to state how emphatically the people of the British empire are behind this .propo- sal, Ind if the leaders of the British empire have not been able to devote as much time during the last five years as they would have liked to this questsS tlx> reason sthat they were entirely occupied with other questions that were more urgent for the mom- ent. :.
 Had I the slightest doubt as to the wisdom of this league of nations, it would have vanished before the spec tacle as saw it last Sunday when I visited a region, which but few years ago was one of the fairest in this very fairalknd.
 "We drove for hours through what was wilderness of desolation. It did not look like country where there were habitations of men, but it was torn and shattered and rent beyond all recognition. We visited one city which had been very beautiful, but where we saw scenes which no indemnity can ever make good.
 Cruelty to French.
 Zone of the cruelest features was the knowledge that Frenchmen who love their land almost more than any other people, had had to assist the enemy in demolishing their homes. I said to myself that it is surely time we set up some other method to settle quarrels than this organized slaught- CT. z
 "I do 'Es6-kaow if we shall succeed in our enterprise, but it is already a success that we have undertaken it."
 The Italian Premier, Vittorio Orlan- do, followed Mir. Lloyd George. He de- clared that no people were readier to accept the league of nations in it's en- tirety tha nthe italian people.
 Leon Bourgeois, the veteran French supporter of the league of nations, spoke next, pledging the French to do everything "that can help to put us on the road which has been pointed out by President Wilson,"
 The Chinese and Polish delegates declared that they supported the plan.

Must Have Proper Foundation,

The flowers of rhetoric are only ac- ceptable when backed by the ever greens of truth and sense. The gran lte statute, rough hewn though it he, is far more imposing in its simple and stern though rude proportions, than the plaster cast, however elaborately wrought and gilded.-Macaulay.

 Must be Vital.
 And if we do not make it vital, we shall disappoint the expectations of the people which their thought cen ters upon.
 q had the very delightful experien- ce of visiting several nations since l came to this side of the water, and every time the voice of the body of the people reached me, through any representatives at the front of the plea stood the hope of the league of nations.
 "Gentlemen, the secret classes of mankind are no longer the governors of mankind. The fortunes of mankind are now in the hands of the plain peo- pie of the whole world. Satisfy them, and you have justified their confidence not only, but have established peace.

The Turk played the war game very much as his friend, the Hun only more so. Here are two Armcn- ian orphans. Their father was one of the thousands of Armenians 5utchered in cold blood as a measure of military necessity, and when the entire Armenian population was later exiled to the desert by the Turk, the mother died of starvation and brutal treatment.
 To save the lives of four million, such refugees-Arm enians, Greeks, and Syrians-the American people will be asked to give at least S30.- 000,000 The week of February 3-1o has been set for the campaign in the Southwest.

DIR. w. T. LOWE RETURNS.

Mrs. H. C. Fox has received a tele- gram from Dr. w. T. Lowe, stating that he had just arrived in New York from oversea, coming over on the Rochambeau, carrying 883 passengers. The R1chambeau was two weeks at sea, thus being several days late in the schedule. Dr. Lowe was identified with the Red Cross work in France, and has the rank of Captain. He will probably return home within the next week.

Men Who Dare to Do.

Conventional men consider clothing, reputation and returns. The age calls for men who forget all in the chal- .enge of the opportunity. While the crowd speculates and wonders, the man of the hour sees the opportunity and goes on to success. His fearless, ness is a mark of his fitness. He fares while others cringe. It is this quality that gives the lion-tamer con- nol of the beast. It is the quality that has thrilled every man that has risen above the average. It's a case of dare to do, or remain with the croWd.-Grit.

Our wonderful Lznauaae.

A certain merchant died, leaving to his only son the conduct of his exten- sive business, and great doubt was ex- pressed in some quarters whether the young man possessed the ability to car ry out the fathers policies. 'Well," said one kindly disposed friend, 'for lny part, think Henry is very bright and capable. I'sn sure he will succeed" Perhaps you're right" said another friend. "Henry Is undoubtedly a clev- CT fellow, but, take it from me, old man, he hasn't got the head to fill his fathers shoes."
