zone OF the most contested topics
which you will have TO discuss con.
tinued Lord Shaw, is the question
whether unanimity. either Of the dele
gates or of the council, is to be the
only condition upon which assent for
certain important powers can be Sc
cured. or whether the necessity for such
unanimity may not paralyze the league
just at those crises when II might save
the world.
THE question of disarmament is the
most practical OF all the issues, inter
national or social. Those nations which
have been locked in combat more than
four years must. unless civilization Is

military and naval expenditure. Other
wise their peoples will be apt 10 for

Ex-British Soldiers Threaten

HALIFAX, March l2.--when the trans

captain reporting threat by 293 Brit

transportation given them to their homes

They found that fifty of the men had
sufficient funds 70 cover their railroad

we're reported 70 have been insisted upon
by American immigration authorities
The others, II was stated. would be held
aboard the ship, which will sail Friday
for New York. whittier she was bound
after discharging Canadian troops here
when a wireless message recalled her TO
Halifax to coal because of the harbor
strike at the American port. The order
keeping the men aboard was issued in
spite of fears expressed by Capt. jackson
of violence by the soldiers.
The troops, most OF whom enlisted in
the British forces from the United States
and eighty-one OF whom are American
born. were DISCHARGED from the army
with $40 and an order on the British
Consul at New York for transportation
to their homes, the ships officers said

il was said yesterday at the New
York Offices of the British Ministry of
shipping that the reports from Halifax
OF the protests made by troops aboard
the Toloa came as a surprise as the
Ministry officials were not aware that
there we're any troops aboard the trans
port destined for American points. II
was stated that the ,roloa had been
ordered here only to take on cargo, but
had been Intercepted by wireless and
ordered back to Halifax for coal when

MONROE DOCTRINE
FAILS IN LEAGUE
Strauss Plea Is Ignored by
French and English as
Chinese Protest.
WAR CHANGES DEMANDED
Small Powers Should Not Be
Equal With Great, Lord
Shaw Says.
By fhs Associated Ptsss.

LONDON, March 1.-THE efforts OF
Oscar Straus OF tho American League to
enforce peace to have the League Of
Nations Union favor an amendment to
the League OF Nations covenant de-
signed to safeguard the Monroe Doctrine
failed to-day. The French and English
delegates, who dominated the conference,
pleaded that the subject was too far
reaching for quick action while the
Chinese protested that it too vitality af-
fected them.
Mr.. Straus proposed an addition to
article 10 providing that should two
states threaten war on each other, the
nearest Great Power "in tho first in
stance" was obligated to step in with
out calling for the assistance of the
other great Powers Should this Power
fail. then it would be a matter for the
entire leagues fighting forces to handle
The British proposal that Article 16 be
changed to make any nation which
breaks the covenant ipso facto at war
with all the other members OF the league
rather than merely committing an act
of war rs the covenant provides, was de-
feated on the plea OF Mr. Straus, who
maintained that IL conficted with the
Constitution OF the United States
Whereupon the other delegates said they
were glad to drop the matter. as they
were unwilling to arouse further feeling
in the United States,
MANY Changes Sought.
The French and British societies pre-
sonted many proposed changes. but those
agreed upon were relatively unimportant
The delegates will make use of the points
brought out in the present discussion and
the decisions reached in advising the va
rious peace commissions when the cove
nant comes up for further consideration
at the Peace Conference at Paris.
In an address to the conference Lord
Shaw. who was elected president, said
the covenant OF the League CT Nations
as formulated in Paris Unquestlonably
presented serious difficulties difficulties
Of substance--and in onS or two cases OF
fundamental principle.
Lord Shaw said ne was a great deal
concerned as to tie position and powers
OF the general body OF delegates under
the covenant No one would dream Of
suggesting, he proceeded, that the great
Powers and the small Powers should
stand equal in rank or that those who
had borne in the greatest measure the
horrors and burdens of the war should
not have Difference paid to their position.
But, he added, all those things could be
adjusted

Maine Leads in Pre- ,etion Of Chill.
The author of Child Placing in
Families" cites the instance Of a
woman, obviously unfit to care for a
young child who. when asked how
she obtained a baby said. Il paid Is
cents and a canary bird for it,"
Those who drew one Of the bills now
before the Maine Legislature evil
IDENTITY were on their guard against
that sort of abuse" says Owen r.
Lovejoy. general secretary Of the
National Child Labor Committee in
a statement just issued. This bill.
providing for the care Of dependent
children contains the provision that
individuals receiving the custody of
a child by the court must give bond
that the child shall be well treated,
educated. and clothed.
III Senate Bill 81 is passed. the
supervision of dependent children
will fall under State and municipal
authorities. and simplify the work as
well as provide better means for CO.
operation. If there is any class Of
children that needs or deserves pro-
lection and sympathetic care on the
part of the State more than the
neglected and abused children to
whom this act would apply. I don't
know what that class is. Many of
them would be orphans, many would
be children whose parents allowed
them to frequent gambling places or
disorderly houses, many would have
parents who felt that they could no
longer give them the care they ought
to have. In such cases the court
NAV provide. for the child's place
mcnt with some suitable family. or in
an institution.
Maine people have much to be
proud of in the progressive bills for
child welfare now before the Legis-
lature," continued Mr.. Lovejoy. The
legislative program covers education,
health, mothers pensions. the care
and segregation of feeble minded
persons, and 1t Is reported that bill
will be introduced in the near future
establishing higher standards for
laboring children. All the New Eng
land states are seeking better protec-
ton for their children this year, but
Maine has gone beyond the others in
the variety of the measures now
pending"
The Maine Legislature and Maine
people everywhere will read With
pleasure the above statement.
