ers Of the assembly very hastily.
The assembly has absolute power OF
self-extension. It may admit or re-
ject members Of the league Of nations.
1t tas. therefore, the inherent power
to determine who shall be the men,
bers Of the great world confedera-
tion. You will realize that this is
indeed a great power when I say to
you that today less than half OF the
white peoples OF the earth are mem
bers of this league Of nations, and 1t
is presumed that the rema Under.
more than one-half OF the white peo-
pies of the earth, will be invited to
join the league.
Limited Only BY Raw Material.
The assembly determines the ad-
mission OF self-governing States or
colonies, and determines who or what
constitutes a self-governing State or
colony. II you recall the ease with
which India came into this league of
nations you will see at once that the
number OF self-governing colonies
will be limited only by the raw mate
rial of the great empires Of the world.
THE assembly may insist upon ef-
fective guarantees from applicants
for membership. 1t may dismanue
fortresses. and determine military
and naval forces. It may compel
groaning taxpayers to support mill
tary forces in places and In numbers
which they do not desire.
The assembly determines the right
Of States to withdraw from the
league, because the assembly has the
power to determine whether inter-
national obligations and obligations
under the covenant have been full
filed.
The assembly will control the
council. 1t, selects in its discretion
four temporary members.
May Deal with Any Matter.
The assembly may deal with any
matter in the sphere OF the league
affecting the peace Of the world
Every dispute may come to the as-
sembly and every dispute may be
determined by it. Why, to say to
the people OF the United States that
body of this sort. a body with such
transcendently important powers, to
say that this Is a mere debating
society is to trifie with the people
OF the United States on the grayest
matter that has come to them since
the civil war.
THE assembly is not an impotent
body. not a mere debating society
it is the final reservoir of power of
the league of nations. and. being the
final reservoir Of power of the league
of nations, it is a matter Of the most
serious moment whether we are rep
resented on that body in like fashion
with the British Empire.
Colonies Are Complete Entities.
THE President says that we have
the right Of veto power; that unanim-
ity is required in decisions Of the
council. and therefore we can never
be hurt by Britain having six votes
and ourselves but one. He says that

EXTRAORDINARY
MAKES PLEA FOR
RETURN OF BOYS
Writes Letter to Madison
Council Asking Official
Action

Patrick Cudahy, member of the
packing firm of Cudahy Brothers,
who has a son with the American
forces included in the allied armies
now in Russia, has addressed a let
ter Of protest to the mayor of Mad
ison and the common council. Mr..
Cudahy also enclosed an editorial
from the Chicago Tribune in which
many of his own contentious are
supported. The letter in full as it
was read TO the members of the
council at the last meeting and eX-
cerpts from the editorial follow:
ITO the Honorable Mayor,
Madison, Wisconsin.
Dear Mayor:
at is com non street gossip that
our boys in northern Russia are be-
ing treated shamefully. There are
about $500 American young men
over there---a good part of them
Wisconsin boys-being battered
about by a Bolshevik mob. Every
body is asking the question: "Why
are they there?" We have no guar
rel with Russia. There might have
been a reason in connection with de-
feating Germany for senCng our
boys in there last September or Oc-
tober, but there certainly is no rea-
son for keeping them there now. and
it would be an act of charity on the
part of anybody that could bring
any pressure to bear to get them
back to their homes, and / write you
this, asking you. as the mayor Of
the city of Madison, if it would not
be right and proper to request the
city council to pass resolution de-
nanding tie withdrawal of our boys
Immediately and forward same to
the proper party at Washington.
Hoping that you will look upon
this matter with favor, / am,
Respectfully yours,
PATRICK CUDAHY."

BIBLE STUDENTS
HERE MAKEPLEA
FOR PRISONERS
Handful of Members Battle
for their Imprisoned
Leaders

News that President Wilson had
passed the cases of J. F. Rutherford,
president of the International Bible
Students association and his COL
leagues in issuing pardons yester-
day to violators of the Espionage
act, was received by the lii lie band
regret. For months they have been
trying, with the members of other
branches of the association, located
IN various parts of the United
States, to bring the cases of the re-
tent
20. E. Putnam is elder OF the Mad
fison group, Mary A. Rogers is sec
rotary and Madeleine Clauson is
treasurer. There are less than a
dozen on the membership roles.
These include Mrs. P. Clauson, Mrs.
Ida McFadden, Mrs. L. Sale, Mrs.
Ida Nordgren, John Sorenson, Mrs.
ed Draper AID Mrs. G. w. Sar-
gent. All have been followers of
the stud nts' association since be-
fore the death of its founder. Pas
tor Russell, in the latter part Of
1916. All maintain the same stand
that the higher officials took when
called to account by the government
that the organization is and al
ways has been purely for the study
of religion.
None Desert Ranks
Although the branch here was at
one time larger than it is at present,
the membership has been depleted
by departures from the city rather
than by withdrawals due to the gov
ernment's action in suppressing
"The Finished Mystery" the book
which caused the conviction of the
leaders.
In addition to President Ruther-
ford, there are seven other officers
OF the organization now serving
sentences of twenty years each in
the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta.
They are: W. E. Van Amburgh, A.
H. Macmillan, r. J. Martin, F. H.
Robson, c. j. Woodworth, George
H. Fisher and G. De Cecca.
The Madison followers meet four
times weekly, Sunday afternoon and
evening at G. A. r. hall and en-
Wednesday and Friday evenings at
the homes of the various members.
Elder Putnam, who was just re-
Gently appointed to the leadership
of the group, came here three
months ago from Denver and was

Tells of Work Here
Some of us have also taken out the
petitions"
1t is planned to bring lecturers to
Madison in the near future to ex-
plain the work Of the organization
and set forth its principles as out
lined by it's founder, Pastor Charles

COMMITTEE @. K.
| NJ R0V EMENTS
WORTH 100000
City Hall and Community
Center Matters Are
Considered

A new city hall, Girstenbrei plat
school, and a high school addition,
projects involving an expenditure
of 500 900 were considered and rec
commended for passage by the fin
ance committee of the common coun-
Gil at a meeting last night.
The city hall and community
building matter, which must go to
a referendum vote after it has been
passed by three-fourths vote of
Ahe council, will require a bond is
sue Of 100000. There was no con-
sideration Of the site in the meeting
last night. Alderman Pren sug-
gested the possibility of separating
the buildings by placing the city
hall on small lot on or near the
square and erecting the community
center a few blocks farther out. AL
derman Behrend opposed vote on
the proposition, claiming that the
vote might not be representative.
Chief discussion arose over the
plans to erect six room building
for the seventh ward school. The
other six rooms were to be con-
structed later. Figures were intro
duced TO snow the plan to be ln1prac-
teal. plans finally adopted call for
the immediate erection of a IL
room building. This will practic-
ally vacate the Hawthorne build
ing. which will then be used as the
start Of a. junior high school. Later
the Gir7tenbrei plat school may be
used for high school. For the
present it will probably be used for
= community center for that part of
the city.
On recommendation of the school
authorities it was decided to build
a girls gymnasium in connection
with the vocational annex to the
high school. In order to carry out
these plans the purchase of 20 TO
a. feet Of the Holcomb property
will be necessary.
