everyone who likes fair play loves u
take poke al town bully who at
tempts TO overawe the community.
We doubt very much that the peo-
pie want to enter into league that
will do any more than stop wars and
reduce armament The reason that
they seem to favor the plan as pre-
sented is that many Of them confuse
il with what they have had In mind.
We believe that many who now unre-
seryedly favor the plan would demand
changes il they fully understood that
they are yielding many rights to an
international body. In other words,
we doubt that the majority OF the
people want to become international
citizens Of the world instead Of the
United States.
Some may claim this Is far-fetched
but we believe it is not, and our rea-
son for believing so IS the experience
or our forefathers with the league that
was formed under the continental
congress.
One OF the arguments most fire.
quently used by the advocates Of the
present plan Is the adoption OF our
Constitution. Now, the adoption Of
the constitution is not an analogous
case at all. Tie constitutions was not
adopted to FORM league or union,
but, as its preamble says, to form A
MORE PERFECT UNION. The union
had already been formed under the
old articles OF confederation compact
that in its effectiveness resembles
great deal the proposed plan for
league. After the colonies got TO
working under this compact-after the
excitement of war had died down and
the prosaic, everyday hum-drum OF
making a living stared our forebears
in the fact, they found that their ar
ticles of association was a trouble
breeder instead OF trouble-eyader.
That's what some say the present plan
is. There are so many disputes, so
many questions Of power for this and
for that that the wise old heads who
had been observing events said this
will never do; we must have either a
real compact, one that will weld the
colonies into one nation, or dissolve
the present covenant. The constitu-
tion was the outgrowth of the earlier
form Of association, not an accom-
plishment of the moment
DO we want to take a step that is liza
BILE to compel our descendants to
merge with others and lose our iden-
tity?
And, another argument that our
friends put forth is that this constitu-
ton, although opposed and bitterly
opposed by many was adopted. They
neglect to tell you however, that ii
was not, as a matter OF fact, adopted
without any additions. as we are ask
ed to do in the present case. It's
adoption was brought about by the
consent Of those steering the move to
have added to It ten amendments.
These amendments were among the
first work of the first congress, and

BY the Associated Press

Vienna, May 23,;-Many persons ac-
cused of being counter -revolutionists are
being executed in Budapest by the Hun
garian communists, according to dis
patches received here. The victims usu T.
ally are shot in front Of the Hungarian
parliament house in the daytime or in
: the public school yard in the Marko-
strasse at night.
Among those who are said to have
been executed are Herr Holan. manager
of the KasChau Oderburg Railway ::
Bishop Balthasar. a hostage from De-
breczen, and Colonel Dormany, of the
general staff. who was taken from n
hospital. Several girls, who were ac-
cused of making tricolor roscttcs for the
counter -revolutionists, also were exc
cuted.
The presiding judge of the revolu
tionary tribunal. which orders the ex
ecutions it is said. is former lock
smith twenty two years of age.
Many bodies of men and women and
girls of the better classes have been
found on the shores of islands in the
Danube. below the city. 1t is reported
that they were arrested in the residen
tial quarter of Buda and were thrown
into the Danube by guards who were
taking them to prisons in Pest.

add, are expected to move on the city
from the south. White guards and
counter revolutionists are preparing to
cross the River Thesis, where they have
taken the positions evacuated by the
Rumanians who were withdrawn to the
Bessaraban front.
The Bolshevists' offensive against The
Rumanians in Bessarabia is progressing.

direction of Kiev. General Petlura is
said to be helpless because he has been
deprived Of the support Of 30 900 West
Ukrainian troops who are fighting Tin
successfully against the Poles under
General Haller in the region south of
Lemberg.
The advices say that the situation is
considered serious for the Rumaniaus
because they may also soon be attacked
by the Hungarian communists.
The position of the Ukrainians, it is
said. is still more serious. The troops
of the Moscow government are ap-
preaching Petlura's base at Tarnopol.
