representatives, every one of them
jealous of the growing power of
the United States. There can be
no doubt that the decision would
have been adverse to the United
States, and we would have been
forced to swallow the insult of the
destruction of the Maine and to
watch helplessly the continued
cruelties of Spain toward the Gu
bans.
The President finds it not worth
his while to determine how the
League would have affected \our
past history, but he looks serenely
into the future with a calm as
surance that the undrcamed of con-
tingencies that may develop will be
cared for by the League and peace
full solutions provided. The Presi-
dent finds it easy to make conven-
lent assumptions for the years that
are to come, but the ordinary citi-
zen will form his conclusions of the
effect of the League upon our
National life by applying the plain
provisions of the covenant to the
concrete instances of our past his
tory. There is no room for specu-
lation there.
France would never have been
permitted to lend us the aid in the
Revolution that practically saved
the day for our cause and set up
this country as an independent Ma
ton. Our coercion of the Barbary
pirates through the immortal
Decatur and Summers would never
have been permitted by the League
The impressment of American sea-
men in 1912 by Great Britain would
have continued for all that the
United States could have done to
prevent it. We could never have
compelled the Southern States to
remain in the Union, because to do
so affected the peace of the world.
Those wars would have been avert
ed, but other wars against the su-
preme power that attempted to
dictate American policies would in
evitably have occurred, the whole
course of American history would
have been altered and our material
growth would have been immeasur-
ably retarded.
These are facts that even the
most ardent advocates of the
League plan must admit, and they
shed some light on why experience
ed statesmen of both parties in the
Senate are holding out for reserva-
tions and interpretations. Insofar
as possible they want to safeguard
the interests of the United States
in critical periods that are bound
to come with the passing of the
years.

CITY LAW CHANGES

TN HE Third, Glass City League,
which is apparently recover
ing from its severe attack of
Clarkactitis, is able at last to look
with unjaundiced eye beyond the
doubtful virtues of that mongrel law
toward better things for the smaller
municipalities of Pennsylvania. The
League convention in Allentown, for
example, has gone on record for
home rule for the cities of the Com
monwealth, for the reclassification of
cities and for changes in the civil
service statutes.
The League is on safe ground
here. Home rule is our right, al

What Others Think
[From Kansas City star1

[F'rom Kansas City Star1
The Presidents chief objection to
reservations written into the Peace
Treaty so as to be effective, seems
to be that other nations might
seek to make their own reserva
tions. SO the value of the whole
Covenant might be impaired.
But what other nations are seek
ing to have the provisions of the
League Covenant altered? So far as
the American people know, no other
nation takes the League seriously
enough to care to insist on any
changes in its provisions.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-08-28

though the Legislature has refused
to recognize it, and it has been evil
dent for years that the present
classification of cities is neither fair
to the people as a whole nor con-
ductive to good government. And
as for the civil service laws, espe-
cially that governing the police,
there are times when observant men
are prone to wonder if it would not
be better to repeal them altogether.
At least that has been our exper-
ience in Harrisburg.

Representatives of the third class
cities including Harrisburg, are
headed in the right direction at the
Allentown convention. They want
more home rule and a reclassifcation
of all cities to the end that there
may be less infringement upon the
rights of each other through the big
fellows trying to adjust themselves to
the needs of the little municipalities
and the other way around. Most
cities can work out their own solu-
tion il given the chance.

Rockingham VS.. Roberdel.
(Contributedl

The Rockingham High School basket
ball girls defeated the Roberdel High
School team by majority of 10 to last
Friday. This is the first time that the
aforesaid school has been defeated in the
period of almost decade. The loss to
them is a source of great melancholy
while the victory to us is very apprecl-
alive, since it is our first achievement
over them. The Roberdel team this
year is under the supervision of Miss
Helen Long, most eligible coach. The
Roberdel girls have an indomitable spirit,
and they displayed it Friday by the efforts
they put forth in the first and last halves.
The Rockingham basket ball team is
composed of Concord Leak and Addle
Webb, centers; Lula Francis Taylor and
Helen Porter, guards; Mamie West and
Sudie Jenkins, forwards. ! These six girls
played the entire game, but they had
with them two substitutes, Johnsie Henry
and Kathleen Hicks. You can see by the
score that all the girls who compose the
Rockingham team have featured in this
game.
The Referee for the game was Miss
Groves and the PEOPLE were very mucf
pleased with the energy, enthusiasm ane
fairness by which she performed he
duty. She is Rockingham's coach ant
referee in what little time we have hal
t, practice. Her keen interest and &C
tivities in educational matters and he
brilliant career as an eminently succesfu
teacher and coach of basketball hav
helped to make our team one of FREEDOM
nant influence.
Rockingham's basketball team has
strong faculty representing it daily in tn
school. 1t is as strong mentally as tn
rock of Gibraltar, which connects the low
land Peninsula with the country of Spail
These girls with the instruction of tt
faculty must work still harder in practiC
and game, that they may be able to SUI
tain the reputation and honor they hay
bestowed upon themselves and the
school. The greater the inspiration ar
support of the Rockingham people Il
more extensive will be the Rockingha
High School girls basket ball team;
training and practicing, the more pr
nounced will be their superiority.

Dear Father
As never before wrote you fully as to
the happenings in the trenches towards
the last, will do so now. We arrived at
the trenches Oct 10th. The second pla-
toon of which am in, was holding the
front line trench. The first platoon was
holding the second line. Everything
went along we'll until we were relieved
by the other platoon. Of course we got
to see a German head once in a while,
and would crack down on him. When
relieved, we would bring food to the ones
in the front line. Two nights before we
were relieved, the Germans make an at
tack upon the second line trench, in
which one of our boys was killed and
the other taken prisoner. | and four
other boys had to make patrol that
night at one o'clock. We arrived at the
trench and gave the countersign; we
found the boys greatly excited. They
told US about the attack, and when we
came to the spot where the two boys hao
been posted, we found nothing left but 6
helmet and blood all over the ground
The Lieutenant was holding the spo
them he remarked to us that it would b.
a dangerous patrol, but it must be done
so we walked half a mile, scouting about
but managed to return in safety. TIL,
next night we were relieved by a Polisl
contingent. We went back to camp
stayed for a couple of days and thel
were sent to the front where the tightin
was more open. The young fellow tina
was taken prisoner returned to us De:
