AMERICANS READY
 FOR LEAGUE BURDEN
 CONGRESS DECIDES
League to Enforce Peace Adopts Resolution Declar- ing Society of Nations
 Absolute Necessity
By Associa,eo rress

New York, February 6.-Reselutions de- claring that the American people were ready and willing to take up their pro Nportionate burden in company with the other great nations to maintain society of nations were adopted at the final session here today of the Atlantic con gress of the league to enforce peace.
 ''The purposes of the war can be ef- fected and the objects of the treaty of peace about to be drawn, said the res- olutions, "can be achieved only by the creation of a league of free nations to safeguard the peace now won by the all lies and the United States and to main- tain the settlement of international diff ferences and disputes by reason, justice and conciliation rather than by war, and thereby to promote the free, orderly and peaceful development of the world And this league should have behind it the united force of these nations.
 The league to enforce peace stands by and upholds the President in his eff forts to secure an agreement between the powers covering the details of organiza- ton, the definition of functions and the formulation of the joint obligations which the great nations would assume for main taining the authority of such league and carrying out it's purposes.
 we are convinced that the public opinion of the United States is in favor of league to maintain the peace or the world and will sustain and justify the President and his colleagues at the peace conference in approving in terms corsonant with the constitution Of the United States and the spirit of the Amer ioan people. the assumption by this cour- try of it's proportionate burden, In com pany with the other great nations, for maintaining the authority of such league.
 A Copy of the resolutions will be cabled to President Wilson and copies will be sent to Vice President Marshall as pres ident of the Senate, as well as to the Senators from the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Delaware. Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, which were represented at the conven- tion.
 The congress went on record as re- questing the governors of the state rep resented to issue proclamations bringing the league of nations to the attention of the people for consideration and approval on Washington's birthday.
 The delegates were asked when they returned home to urge the adoptions of resolutions similar to the one adopted today by their churches, clubs, labor unions and societies of every kind.
 State chairmen elected were: William Church. Osborn New York; Maryland, for mer Governor Edwin Warfield; Virginia, George Bryan of Richmond; New Jersey. Dr. Henry Van Dyke of Princeton; Penn sylvania, Dr. Henry S. Drinker, president oss the Lehigh university; Delaware. Judge George Gray of Wilmington, West Virginia, c. w Dillon of Fayetteville
 The governors of all the states except Maryland and Delaware were elected hon. orary chairmen for their state.
