LET US HAVE PEACE.

War has devastated the earth.
Millions and millions of lives have
been its sacrifice. ALI through the
generations since before written his
tory wholesale murder has been the
resort Of men. and now and again
men have dreamed of time when
there should be no more war. Reas-
oning beings have found no better
way to settle differences than have
the beasts. Civilization and increas-
ing knowledge have but made wars
the more savage and the more de-
structive.
The great war brought on by Ger
man lust and viciousness caused the
liberty loving peoples of the earth ia
unite to defend against the Savagery
Of war. They were not fighting mere
ly TO win war, but to end war. And
The splendid minds of the leaders OF
the nations have at last framed
covenant against war. The League
OF Nations is the hope of the world.
peoples of the world, and the thing
for which millions of the young men
Of the world were sacrificed.
The fact that the master minds Of
the free nations, Lloyd George,
Clemenceau, Orlando and Wilson
have framed the covenant, have re-
conciled their differences and given
the covenant as the best possible
expression of a formula to prevent
war, ought to be enough. But the
covenant closely studied justifies it.
self. 1t provides a method for dis
armament. 1t provides that the ma
tons shall not go to war unless and
until there is a submission of mat
tiers in dispute to arbitration, and not
then until after three months from
award. But to go to war then, and
refuse to abide by the award a nation
must go to war against the whole
League of Nations.
Nor does the League have in it
any threat of danger to America No
super-government is set up. Action
Ey the League must in all essential
be unanimous. America will always
have her vote and representation. In
two vital things the League is but the
expression Of American policies. For
America mas sought arbitration
earth, and America has always in
sisted on the Monroe Doctrine which
IS by the League extended to the
ether nations.
The League of Nations is an en-
preston Of the spirit of America, and
the worlds mandate against war.
Study the Covenant Cor yourselves
Allow no partisan feeling to enter
into your thoughts. In the cove
nant is the destiny of the millions
who shall come after us. In our
opinion it is the worlds political mas
terpiece. 1t is a charter for World
democracy. 1t extends to all the
world the principles of the Declara-
ton of independence, the Constitu-
ton Of the United States, and the
Monroe Doctrine.
In a former issue ofThc Indepcn-
dent we printed the Covenant as first
drafted. Since then the Covenant
has been revised We shall publish
the revised Covenant in this issue.

THE PEACE TREATY.

Germany must sign the treaty pre-
sented to her by the Allied represen-
1atives. If they do not sign at YER
sailles, then they will sign at Berlin.
But when they sign, if there be no
League of Nations how will the terms
be enforced?
New nations are being set up
Mostly buffer states, segregation of
nationals. Are these to be left to the
tender mercies Of land hungry ma
tons, without an organized power to
preserve their integrity?
without the League of Nations
there may be treaty of peace, but
there can be no peace

Farmers will note the great change

Farmers will note the great change
in agricultural conditions in the Will
liamsbu-g community. Sour, sorry
looking land has become sweet and
productive. In fact so great has been
the change in recent years that il is
altogether a different looking coun-
try. We suspect that the intelligent
and persistent use of lime and bet
ter cultural methods is the secret OF
the great change.

SURE D. c. FOLKS WILL
GET ARMY FOOD AT COST

With negotiations under way look
ing toward the acquisition of food
supplies from the Army, the District
Commissioners today were confident
the citizens movement, headed by
John G.. McGrath, to obtain the prod
ucts at cost prices would be well on
the way to success before the end OF
the week.
Mr.. McGrath, president of the citl-
Zens' food council is comforting to-
day with c. w. Hare. surplus prop
erty officer for Washington. as to the
best means of obtaining and dis
tributing here the surplus Army
stores.
A joint conference of these officials
with Commissioner Gardiner may be
held tomorrow.
Il am confident Mr.. McGrath viii be
able to work out practical plan of
distribution whereby the citizens OF
Washington will be enabled TO OBJ
tain these foods at a big saving in
price, Mr.. Gardiner said today.
The Commissioners are back of him
in the enterprise, believing that
Washingtonians may acquire no little
benefit from it.
