Mission in This City SuccessfuI-To Call Attention of Educators to
 Character Building.

Dr. Sara w. Lyons of New York city, who has been in New Britain this past week interesting the resi- dents of this city in the movement to secure moral hygiene instruction for children in the public schools Gas a part of their curriculum of study) re- turned to New York today. She feels greatly encouraged by her efforts here in New Britain in support of this worldwide mOVeme ent for the charaC- ter developm ent of children to which she is devoting her time. That the upholdors of the League of Nations may be made to see the importance of this very necessary provision, in cOvenanting for the peace of the world. and realize that the preserving of this peace as out lined in the treaty under conSidera ton is part of her mission to little children.
 The public school system of the world has never laid particular stress upon developing character in chil- dren. As they have Euilded today they are leaping the whirlWind of hought-destructio instead of con- struction.
 pr. Lyons address in the M E. church Sunday evening brought out a, good audience. She will return to New Britain again in the near future for another address on this very inn portant theme, "The Child as a Ma tional Asset

RAILROAD OFFICIALS
 SHAMED THE GOVT.
Worked Steadily to Make GoV-
 ernment Ownership a Failure

Washington, Aug. 12.-A B. Gar retson, former head of the order of railway conductors, told the house interstate commerce committee today that operating officials in charge of railroads during government control were actuated by the one desire of demonstrating that government own ership was not best for the country.
 Exactly the same operating force that built up a great surplus before the war created this big deficit" Gar retson said.
 ''There could be no real test as to government operation so long as the future disposition of the roads had not been determined. Every effort was made to convince the people that private mana cement was best
 When the railroad official prays he turns his face to Wall street but once it is demonstrated for instance that management in future will center in Washington, l am sure he will serve the government as earnestly as he served the old masters in the past"
 Discussing the Plumb plan for tri- pdllllc COIllIOl Ol the TOaQS, MT. Gar retson said it "utterly demolished cap- ital account, while the other plans submitted to congress added to it un- til the grandchildren of the present generation would stagger under the load"
 The board of directors under the Plumb plan, MT. Garretson said, would find a large employe element determining wages, but the right of employees to strike would not be abridged.
 fBut,' he explained, "the employees would be partners in the enterprise. If the wage board would hear wage disputes refused to grant increases it would pledge a large percentage of employees to refuse it. So, if a body of employees went on strike, they would find a large employee element who felt their own rights had been in vaded and injured and who would stock.

this league covenant brings out in startling relief one great fact. What ever may be said, it is not a league of peace; it is an alliance, dominated at the present moment by five great powers, really by three, and it has all the marks of an alliance. The development of international law is neglected. The court which is to decide disputes brought before it fills but small place. Those articles upon which the whole structure rests are articles which provide for the use of force; that is, for war This league to enforce peace does a great deal for enforcement and very little peace"

SAYS LEAGUE WOULD PLUNGE U. IN WARS
(Continued from First Paee)

nave our country strong to resist a peril from the West. as she has flung oack the German menace from the East We would not have our poli- 'lcs distracted and embittered by the dlssensions of other lands.
 Impossible to Isolate L. $.
 So far as the question of isolation goes, It is impossible 10 isolate the United States. We may set aside all this empty talk about isolation. No- body expects 10 isolate the United States or to make it a hermit nation. which 1s sheer absurdity But there is a wide difference between taking d suitable part and bearing a due re- sponsibility in world affairs and plunging the United States into every controversy and conflict on the face of the globe"
 Likening the league to the ill-famed Holy Alliance, Mr. Lodge quoted the covenant provision giving the assem- bly authority to deal at it's meetings with any matter s: * affecting the peace )f the World,' and continued:
 'There is no such sweeping or far reaching provision as that in the treaty of Paris. and yet able men de- Veloped from that treaty the Holy AL liance, which for B years, was an un- mitiSated curse to the world. Eng land broke from the Holy Alliance be- cause English statesmen saw that it was intended to turn the alliance and this league is an alliance-into a means of repressing internal revolu- tions or instructions.
 l.. s. Bound.
 No revolutionary mOVem ent no in ternal conflict of any magnitude can fall to affect the peace of the world. Any matter affecting the peace of the world is a very broad statement any interference on the part of the league with the internal affairs of other countries.
 ''In Article 10 the United States is bound on the appeal of any member of the league not only to respect but to preserve it's independence and it's boundaries, and that pledge, if we give 1t, must be fulfilled. There is to me no distin ction whatever in treaty between what some persons are pleas ed to call legal and moral obligations. A treaty rests and must rest, except where it is imposed under duress and securities and hostages are taken for it's fulfillment, upon moral obligations. The pathway of diShOnOr is always open. But whatever the United States agrees to, by that agreement she must abide.

League Would Crumblc.

"If the United States or any other great country should refuse, no mat ter how spacious the reasons, to gulill both in letter and spirit every obligation in this covenant the United States would be dishonored and the league would crumble into dust, leaving behind it legacy of wars.''
 Quoting a press report that Be- douins were attacking the Kingdom of Hedjaz the senator pointed out that whose integrity the United States would guarantee to preserve from eX- ternal aggression under the covenant.
 "Under article H." he said, If King Hussein appeal to us for aid and pro- tection against external aggression af fecting his independence and the boundaries of his kingdom, we should be bound to give that aid and protec- tion to send American soldiers to Arabia. I am unwilling to give that right to King Hussein and this illus trates the point which is to me the most objectionable in the league as it stands: the right of other powers to call out American troops and Amer- can ships to go to any part of the world, an obligation we are bound to fulfill under the terms of this treaty. l know the answer Well--that of course they could not be sent without have no choice if acting in

Difficulty in Article 15.

Let me now point out the insuper- able difficulty which I find in article 15. It begins, If there should arise between members of the league any dispute likely to lead to a rupture. Any dispute covers every possible dispute. It therefore covers a dispute over tariff duties and over immigra- ton.
 An immigration dispute or a dis pute over tariff duties, met by the pro- cedure set forth in article Is, comes before the assembly of delegates for a. decision by what is practically a ma jOrity vote of the entire assem bly, That is something to which I do not find myself able to give my assent. So far as immigration is concerned, and also so far as tariff duties, although less important, are concerned 1 deny the jurisdiction. There should be no possibility of other nations decidine who shall come into the United States, or under what conditions they shall enter. The right to say who shall come into a country is one of the very highest attributes of sovereignty. If a nation can not say without appeal who shall come within the gates and be- come part of it's citizenship it has ceased to be a sovereign nation It has become a tributary and a subject nation, and it makes no difference COnquerOr.

League to Settle Differences.

The senator said the British dele gates to the peace conference, in statement regarding the Monroe doc- Urine had asserted that should a dis pute arise as to the meaning of the doctrine, the league is there to settle it."
 Tt has seemed to me-" he contin- ued, that the British delegation tray eled a little out of the precincts of the peace conference when they undertook to eNpalin the Monroe doctrine and tell the United States what 1t was and what it was not proposed to do with it under the new article.
 The Monroe doctrine was the cor ollary of Washington's neutrality pol icy and of his injunction against per mancnt alliances. It reiterates and reaffirms the principle. We do not

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Washington, February 19,-Cloak- room gossip since the League of Ma tions has come into general discussion has taken the usual political turn at the Capitol and the politicians are making prophecies as to the possible entrants into the next presidential campaign, particularly on the Repub- lican ticket. In view of his strong advocacy for some years past of the league to enforce peace, and his pre- sent support of the plan as announced from Paris, former President William H. Taft is selected by many as the logical nominee of the Republicans in the event the League of Nations plan wins approval by the Senate. This discussion and proposal of Taft for the presidency is without his know ledge or consent The ex-president has laughed down all such proposals recently, notwithstanding his earnest
 ness in support of a Peace League.
 Should the plan fail of adoption by the Senate, Senator William E. Borah is selected as the possible winning be-
 ing the forefront of opposition to the presidents scheme Borah by req
