WORK OF MONKS IN EXILE
Congregation Of Armenian Christians
Has Diffused knowledge Of Coun-
try's Language and Literature.

The Mechitarist monks are a small
congregation OF Armenian Christians
who were exiled from their native land
at the beginning Of the eighteenth cen
tury. The church In Armenia had long
been divided into bitterly hostile camps
over the question OF the nature Of
Christ, and when the Mechitarists en-
tered into communion with the Church
Of Rome In 1712 the Armenian patri-
arch succeeded In driving them from
the country. They took up their resi-
dence In the Morea. but they had again
10 fee before the advance of the con-
quering Turk. and in 1715 they estab-
lished themselves In Venice. on the
Island of San Lazzaro. Here they set
up a printing press and gathered to-
gether large and valuable library Of
oriental works. Their name is de-
rived from Mechtar da Petro, who
founded a religious society at Constan-
tinople about the year l70O. and who
aimed ut uplifting the intellectual and
spiritual conditions of his countryinen
and at diffusing knowledge of the
old Armenian language and literature
The colony of exiles during their SO
| journ IN Venice has printed most OF
TO- classic writings In Armenian 1T
,luture and translated the works 81

The chief purpose OF the League Of
Nations is to keep the world In Z
state Of peace. Another way Of ex-
IL designed to prevent wars
We have just finished the greatess,
which Is to say the most horrible, OF
all conflicts between nations We
have won q glorious victory. But that
victory will be wasted unless this war
has made the nations ready to

the settlement of disputes after they
have arisen. We must foresee causes

they have reached an acute stage
Hence there must be provision for fire.
Quent consultations Of members Of the
league for exchange Of informal ton.
for agreement on common policies and
for the gradual formation OF rules Of
International law which at present are
uncertain and incomplete.
The representatives Of the great
free nations which won tie war have
met at Paris and, after .ong consulta-
ton, have drawn an agreement which
they believe will accomplish these
ends. At the very least 1t will set in
motion great changes which will re-
suit in universal benefit to all man.
kind. This agreement Is called the
Covenant Of the League OF Nations
and 1t Is n part Of the peace treaty
There will be no league worth talk
ing about, however. unless the United
States Is a member. The decision as
to whether the United States shall
Join rests with our Senate. The Sena-
tors, chosen by the people, will IN the
end vote as the people desire. For
this reason the people themselves will
decide whether or not the United
States will Join the league. In this
question every citizen should have q
voice. He or she can express opinion
either by. writing direct to Senators
by letters to the newspapers. by
speeches In his lodge or local union OF
In conversation with friends.
Methods Of Maintaining Peace.
Since the prime object OF the
League OF Nations is to preserve peace
and to reap the benefits OF peace
let us see how the league will operate
to accomplish that purpose
| In the first place 1t will seek to re
move the main causes Of wnr. BY ths
formation OF an International court l.
will create q means for the peaceful
settlement of disputes between na
tions. Then II Will seek 10 compel tht
nations to make use OF this court
This 10 nothing more nor less than a
application Of the rules and customs
governing private individuals in civil
Ted communtiuu to- the reiatsccs b
tween nations.
Secondly, the League Will seek to re
move great temptation to wuv D
the general agreement to reduce ~
| size OF armies and navies. This vii
halt the race for military and nava
supremacy which was largely respon
sible for the war just endsd. III
amount Of armament any nation ma
maintain will be strictly defined
Thus 1t will be impossible for on
country to Overwhem its neighbor b

Germany crushed Belgium and woui
