opportunity has been assured, government

Government should not in any artificial
way attempt to assure the man OF poor abil-

good ability, but government should in every
possible way afford to every citizen an OPP
portunity to better his ability. This includes
an opportunity for education for every, one

ness to strive for it. The dullard still would

GEN. CROZIER POINTS. TO INCONSISTENCIES
IN RESERVATIONS TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS

BY MAI. GEN. WILLIAM CROZIER,

Gen. Crozier was one Of the
American delegates to the first -
peace conference at The Hague In
1899, and 10 now the sole survivor
of the American representation
there. He has made deep study

TIME fundamental Office claim
ed by its advocates for the
league Of nations is that of
preserver Of the peace Of the
world. This office is the one which
has been in the minds of the pro-
ponents Of all similar schemes
down to and including Mr.. Talft's
League to Enforce Peace. The idea
is naturally embodied in the cove
nant which forms part OF the
treaty Of peace.
Various articles Of the covenant
prescribe particular duties for
member nations OF. the league In
the matter of keeping the peace.
Article 10 is their individual prom
Use to protect one another's ter
ritory and government from exter-
nal aggression. Article 16 details
certain measures of coercion which
members agree to take against any
nation which resorts to war in dis
regard OF it's covenant. But the
article in which the organization
declares it's intention to use Its
great power for carrying out the
main purpose of the association is
Article II. which reads. In part, as

The third item of the resolution
adopted by the Senate committee
on foreign relations reserves from
the promises Of article Is all mat
ters which it considers to be within
our domestic jurisdiction, defining
a number of them; and the fourth
would depend upon or relate to the,
Monroe doctrine. The committee
thus makes it clear that it is not
ready to trust the league as re-
Quired by article Is, in regard to
matters of such intimate import
ance to the United States as those
which relate to domestic questions
and to the Monroe doctrine, but the
singular thing is that the commit
tee is apparently willing to sub
ordinate the Independent judg-
ment of the United States to that
Of the league in regard to any
question outside the classes re-
served, no matter how important
it might be.
The net result of the last three
Items Of the committees resolu-
ton, therefore, is to withdraw the
United States from the league in
SO far as the assumption of respon-
sib1lity for the peace OF the world
and the intention to enforce it are
concerned. while leaving us sub
ject, under our promise, to the con-
troll of the league in regard to all
disputes upon questions which are
not domestic or do not come under
the Monroe doctrine. That is. we
are withdrawn from everything
that is forcefu1 and authoritative
in regard to the worlds good or
der, while left in subsection as to
our own disputes which do not fall
within certain categories.
Under such conditions particular
value attaches to the first item Of
the committees resolution, which
safeguards tho right OF the United
States to withdraw from the league
upon its own motion.

justice is the thing upon which right-think2

the American government. Good cannot help

immediate and cumulative. All interests in
American life are to meet around the con-

They are difficult problems which con-
front the nation today, but they are not in
capable of solution. To doubt that they will
be solved is to doubt the benefcence of our
institutions and the worth of our people
To admit that they are insolub1e is to
admit that Americansm is failure. In
such case, instead of discussing how to make
America better, we had better let it go the
way of civilizations of the past, for America
and the things it stands for would not be
worth preserving.

DOG FED TMPPfs rx.FsA
Massachusetts Farm Agent TsIh Re-
markable and Touching Stscy sf
Canine Affection.

In the Telegram. Worcester. Mass,
John f. Dearth, field ageut Of Wo1ces-
ter county farm bureau, tells this
story of the intelligence. sympathy, af-
lection and clever understanding on
the part Of dog, which came under
his observation in recent visit to
Princeton:
A Princeton man who is fond OF
horses and dogs owns faely bred
hunting dog and he missed it for sew
eral days. He made inquiries all
around. but no one had seen anything
of the animal, and after 4 week the
ewner gave it up AZ lost. O.e OF the
farm hands was rambling through q
chopped off wood lot few days later
and came upon the dog caught In a
steel strap set for a skunk. Both fore
PAWS were held In the jaws OF the
trap and the dog could not escape.
But in spite Of it's terrible predica-
ment 1t was not emaciated. and al
though in pain had not gnawed Its
forelegs as many animals will do when
they are in the torture Of a steel trap.
Strangest Of all, scattered all around
were bones and scraps Of meat. Sew
eral hen bones and beef bones. with
shreds of meat still clinging, were IN
der the captive's nose, and it was
chewing a bone when the farmer d's-
covered it's plight.
The trapped dog was carried hodae
in the arms of the man who found II,
and then, little later, the owner went
to the trap to see who or what brought
those bones and scraps OF dog
food to the suffering captive. While
he stood silently regarding the little
heap of bones and scraps, another dog
from his own kennels came through
the brush with it's jaws filled with
chicken bones. meat trimmings and
other gleanings from the kitchen gar
page pail. The dog dropped its ioad
close to the trap and shifted around as

Calling the dog after him, the own

log was licking it's wounds. When

Empires That Have Fallen.

Six empires have disappeared within
the memory of living men, remarks a
writer in the Brooklyn Eagle. Nearly
9OO,OO0.O0O people, close to one-hah
the worlds population, have been re-
leased from the Shackles OF imperial
ism since 1871 History has no paral-
lei for such changes. In the retro
spect of history 80 years are but a
fash in the march Of the ages and yet
since 1871 the doctrine Of republican
ism has been embraced by half the
world. Not all the preceding 2,ooo
years of mankind's march toward lib
erty records such progress.
Six emperors have laid down crown
and scepter since Theodore Roosevelt
became the exponent of the strenuous
life. Three have died, one was muir
dered. the other two are in exile. While
OF the three still living, only one, the
boy emperor Of China, is still enjoying
the luxuries that Sweeten life for those
in high places. 1t was Napoleon III
who led this dehacle of imperialism,
Dom Pedro OF Brazil was next and the
last OF the Manchu dynasty followed.
The crash OF the three remaining Eu-
ropean empires. Russia. Austrla-Hun-
gary and Germany, resulted from the
war For democracy. When it comes TO
mere kings, memory cannot recall
them all, for they have tumbled ev-
erywhere from Hawaii to Portugal
from Saxony to Bulgaria.
