PLAN CLOSER UNION
Movement to Draw English
Z Speaking Peoples Together.
First Branch of Union to Be Estab-
Iished in America Is in
Philadelphia.

Westinghouse is the general feel.
Ing that the foundation ON which the
proposed League of Nations must be
built is complete understanding and
| friendly cooperation between the two
great English-speaking peoples; that
on the Americans and the British will
fall largely the task of making the
world safe for democracy. Realizing
this, a group of Americans and Brit
tSherS have started a movement to
draw the English-speaking peoples of
the world closer together in the bond
of comradeship and have organized
/ the English-Speaking Union.
The aim of the union is, briefly, to
make the English-speaking peoples of
the world better known to each other,
whether they be Americans, Austria
lians, Canadians, New Zealanders,
South Africans, Newfoundlanders or
the inhabitants of the British isles
and their dependencies. 1t does not
aim at formal alliances, nor is it con-
! cerned with the relationship of govern
ments; it is solely and simply a good
fellowship movement among the PEG.
pie "who speak the tongue that Shake
speare spake."
The aim of the promoters, American
! and British, is that no citizen of the
English-speaking world should ever
feel lonely again after the war, that no
American visiting the old country
should ever want friend, and that no
jBritisher should ever want one in the
great republic. They plan to make
these peoples better known to each
other in various wayS-by the inter-
change of visits, by correspondence, by
the printed word, by lectures, by an
interchange of professors and preach
hrs, by sporting contests and by every
other possible means.
/ 1t was Admiral Sims who said the
other day that "if only an interchange
of 100000 young men from our leading
schools on both sides of the Atlantic
| could be made annually there would
| be no possibility of future misunder-
standings between u.s." In 95 per cent
OL TIE lIlIuSS lllaL udLLef the EHSllSH-
/ speaking peoples, whether they come
i from the United States, from the Brit
jsh dominions in the far antipodes, or
from the mother country, have the
same outlook, the same ideals, the
same conceptions of right and wrong,
| the same laws, the same literature. 1t
is only in the remaining per cent of
superficial things that they differ.
The first branch of the English
Speaking Union to be established in
America is in Philadelphia and the
first European branch is in London.
Its monthly magazine already has
! been started.

LETTER FROM LOUIS DRANE

"rhe Red Cross is giving us quite
a few things" says Louis Drane in a
letter to his wife which was left at
The Leader office for publication. And
Louis goes on to enumerate what was
received from them Christmas and
New Years day, We must say that
the Y. N. C. A. Santa Claus was more
liberal WITH the soldier boys than he
was to Us. Further along in III, let
t@r Louis says;
"Some of the boys have just come
back from seven-days pass. They
send US to AK Les Bains, a very
noted place. The building used by
the 'Y' was, before the war, the
second biggest gambling house in the
world. Just across the street is
where Thaw took his first shot at
White. In full view are the Alps, COW
cred with snow, and flowers growing
at the bottom. Here also is a poo
where Caesar used to battle. In this
place where we are camping there is
an old church built in 800 and tun-
mel dug by Caesar. All of the houses
here are built of stone, but in the
larger towns they have nicer homes
At this place | was speaking of where
they send US to rest, the boys are
given nice rooms and all they want
70 EFT. All it costs a soldier is the
ride there and back. which is in box
car Everything else is free and you
can see things you wouldn't see in a
life time again. A fellow can take
about twenty dollars and have a good
time. Lots Of good looking girls there,
/ too
"No, I didn't see much of action
myself, only a few shells falling near
by. But was working all the time
getting ammunition to the boys at the
front. We went in one night and the
war closed the next day. All fighting
stopped at Eleven o'clock, which made
it the eleventh month, eleventh day
and elvnth hour"

BRITISH DEFY FOES MINES
Invention of Naval Officer Enabled
Ships to Push Into Helgoland
Biqht.

London.-Mines and mine fields were
rendered obsolete by the development
of the "paravene," the invention of
Lieutenant Burnley and consistently
urged upon the British navy by Ad-
miral Sir Hedworth Meux. This in
strument was officially adopted by the
navy early in 1916 and was so success
full that special factories were built
for it's construction.
It is now learned that the British
grand fleet on several occasions pushed
right into the Light of Helgoland,
which, if mines mean anything, would
have been a death trap for ships. Ger
man experts never solved the mystery.
From the time Of it's adoption to the
close of the war only two warships
were reported having been sunk by
mines. The most recent use Of the
'paravenes" was on the occasion of
British warships entering the Baltic
through a closely mine-strewn area.
The steel wire mooring ropes of the
mines are said to have been cut by the
paravenes as string is cut by scis-
sors.

Z. church met at the home of Mrs.
Gibble on Tuesday at 9 p. m. to hold
their usual monthly meeting.
The meeting was called to order by
the president, Mrs. Northrop.
The leaflets on "Women Workers in

teresting facts were learned about the
needs Of our Oriental sisters and also
of the capabilities of those who have
any opportunities of developing the
long neglected talents.
Oriental women are rising from a
depth of subsection Christian women
never knew, and will go their way in
to now paths, following their daring
leaders,
They are eager for the better, more
useful life, and it behooves all who
know the blessings of Christianity to
help by their giving and prayers all
those in darkness, so that all may
soon come to know Him whom to
know means life eternal.
The society decided to give a sup
per in the annex of the church on

TO THE NEGROES OF FLORIDA:

With gratitude to God for unfaiI-
ing mercies, with deep and thoughtful
corcHr2 for the welfare of our race
and with faith in Gods providential
guidance in all things which concern
us as race and citizens of the Com
monwealth of Florida, we are moved
to address to you this appeal.
We know not what the future has in
store for us, but relying upon the
goodness of the God of our fathers,
we face the future with resoIute hope
and confidence. We know not what a
day may bring forth, but we face the
dawning of new day in the history
of mankind. "Our God is MARCHING
on" and out of His conquests surely
something of the good things for
which we have labored and prayed
shall be ours to enjoy. As the liberty
loving peoples of the earth have
fought for four years to make democ-
racy regnant on the earth, and as
great statesmen are now gathered in
conference to consummate a peace of
justice and right, the times admonish
US to be vigilant and alert, for eter-
nal vigilance alone is the price of lib
erty. Let US be reminded that the
world can go forward in the way of
ordered justice and right only as it
shall concede and guarantee to us ne
gro people more and more the enjoy
ment of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. So self-evident is this
truth that there can be no better proof
of our patriotism and devotion to ma
tional ideals than is shown by our
earnest insistence upon the enjoyment
of these blessings by ourselves and
our race.
Believing that you share with US
these convictions, we therefore call
