II. S.-British
Unity Seen as
League Pillar
Lowell Centenary Speakers
Hail Poet as Prophet of
Anglo Saxon Oneness
Say War Brought Love
Stephen Leacock, Professor
Sloane and Others Speak;
E. L. Masters Reads Poem

The league of nations will be saved
from becoming "a league of dreams"
onIy by the bedrock of friendship
among the English-speaking nations,
according to Stephen Butler Leacock
Of the University of Toronto, who was
one of the speakers at the Lowell CEN
tennial exercises at the Ritz-Carlton
Hotel yesterday.
James Russell Lowell was hailed as
the prophet of Anglo-Saxon unity in
all the addresses, made both by Ameri-
cans and by the guests-poets, essay
lists and statesmen-who had come
from Australia, Canada and England
to pay honor to the American who was
'voet essayist and statesman in one.
Throughout his lifetime he had
dreamed of the day when Americans
snd Englishmen would learn to under
stand each other better, a day deferred
until long after his death, but which
has now become the most important
element in world peace.
"If we are to prevent the league of
nations from becoming merely league
Of Dreams said Mr.. Leacock. 1--WE
must make strong the foundations of
sympathy and mutual understanding
among the peoples of the nations. How
else shall it have the strength to hold
against arrogance and strife and dis
cord? Il believe that Mr.. Borah is not
in the room, so we may dare to speak
Of the league
England and America in the past
have made too much of their differ
ences and not enough of their unity.
We have taught our school children the
details of that first struggle, which
was only a little misunderstanding in
the process of being made up. We have
harped on Fifty-four forty or fight,
and we have fused about some swamps
battlefields of France we learned that
cur common love was greater than all

an Canada we don't shut our VIM
dows against the light of the Fourth
Of July. We have no fears, in spite
Of annexation talk, of being withered
in the sunshine of your greatness, and
even in the cold light of the Aurora

die people, half English, half Canadian.
shall l say, combining the virtues of
both with the DEFICIENCIES of neither?
Well, If l don't say it, no one can
prevent good Canadian from think

Professor William Milligan Sloane,
CHANCELLOR of the Academy of Arts and
Hiences, opened the morning exer-
dses with an address to the visitors,
(which he, too. dwelt on the new har-
aany between England and the United
States. 1t was significant, he said, that

In Justice to the Y. NJ. C.. A.

There is danger that a very
grave Injustice will be done the
Y. NJ. G. A. Our fighters seem to
be in a crouch with it. The most
human quality of youth is gossip.
IF they didn't kick. they wouldn't
fight said an officer in France
last summer when he reminded "a
"" secretary that his doughboys
were kicking about their mail.
their food, their quarters. and their
pay.
Beforeithe armistice was signed
we used to hear that the Y NJ. G.. A.
was. open to criticism behind the
lines, bit that at the front the
services rendered under ire were
beyond praise. One commanding
officer insisted that the ~" secre-
tary attached to his battalion march
with the men through Paris on
the Fourth of July. Secretaries
were mentioned in citations and
were elected honorary members of
outfits.
You can't very well criticise a
man when he crawls out to your
machine gun nest through bar
rage to bring you smokes and
chocolates and letters from home.
And the records show that secre-
taries did things like that. Many
were wounded, some were killed.
The secretary in his hut back
in the training area had a harder
time and less opportunity to win
popularity. He was country
storekeeper. janitor, "a Theatrical
booking agent, promoter of ath
letics and librarian rolled into
one.
Formerly the criticism one
heard of the Y. NJ. G. A. took
these difficulties and differences
into account, and was at least dis.
eliminating; but now it is becom-
ing fashionable to say unpleasant
things about the organization. and
much of its really fine work is
disregarded.

military unit formed its opinion
