Thoughtful persons recognize

Root Advocated Plan.
Honorable Elihu Root, former
secretary of state, recognizes the
immediate and great need OF this
and recommended its acceptance
with an amendment providing that
any member could after expiration
of five years from the signing of
the covenant. terminate its obliga-
tions under the article. But under
this covenant the United States. by
giving notice of withdrawal from
the league, can limit her obIiga-
tons to q time not to exceed two
years. II this treaty is ratified, the
United States can fully perform her
obligations to her allies, discharge
her duties to the new nations she
has aided in creating and then hon.

THE article provides in case of
any aggression the council shall
advise upon the means by which
this obligation shall be fulfilled.
The unanimous recommendation of

New York.-"IR a year from now
we will be able to make a nonstop
flight from England to Australia
just as easily as we make this
flight" said J. e. NJ. PFitehard Of
the British air ministry, just before
the R-34 began its return trip to
England.
THE R-34 is already practically
an obsolete type of aircraft because
of the improvements achieved on
dirigibles which are now being
built" he continued. I'VE have
ships building that are twice as big
as the R-34 and will have a speed
OF 25 miles an hour faster.
This flight was not really an
amazing thing. 1t Is the result OF
many years OF work. 1t was not
wonderful. What I call wonderful
is the persistent and spectacular
work that led up to 1t.
Calls DirigIbie Supreme
THE part to bring out, It seems
to me, is that for long distance fly
ing the big rigid dirigible is SUI
preme. To attempt to make com
parsons between airplanes and dir
igibles is really absurd. No one
would think of taking a trans-At-
lantic liner for a channel trip. So
for long distance aerial work you
have the long range rigid dir
igible."
Major Pritchard emphasized the
fact that it was easier to fly from
here to England than from England
here, as the tremendous air cur
rents are generally from west to
east. He estimated that the actual
flying distance was 1000 miles
shorter.
The voyage of the R-34. the first
successful attempt to cross the At
lantic in a dirigible, adds another
thrilling chapter to the history of
transatlantic travel that began
with the voyage of Columbus in a
sailing vessel in 1892. For more
than 300 years after Columbus the
sailing vessel was the only means
of transport, and it was not until
100 years ago that the first steam
ship. the Savannah. made the trip.
Submarine Trips Next.
Between that event and the re-
cent seaplane and aiFplane trips
came the voyage of the German
merchant submarine, the Deutsch-
land in 1916.

1T HAPPENED IN KANSAS.

A Kansas newspaper told sad
tale of a woman who advertised
some fine Plymouth Rock hens for
sale. She made the advertisement
sound so good that the hens were
stolen the next night
A rival county seat paper said
the thief should be easy to appre-
hend-that the paper in which the
advertisement appeared did not
have much of a circulation.
AS we go to press, those two
papers are still quarreling.

state reserves it's full sovereignty is
conclusiVely settled by the pEovis-
ion allowing, any member to with
draw. No nation, superior or other
wise, ever thus expressly provided
means for its dissolution.
This covenant, If ratified by the
senate would be no more nor less
than a treaty legalized under our
constitution. The plan for the. for
nation of the league is skillfully
conceived, and the only one possible
under existing conditions.
The assembly of the league will
be composed of representatives OF
the members, who will be selected
in accordance with the laws Of the
respective states. In the case Of
the United States, the representa-
tives. being officers created by
treaty, would be appointed as pro-
vided by an act of congress. Much
opposition has been urged because
a great nation like the United
States has only one vote in the as
sembIy. But what difference does
the number of votes make, when
upon all important matters the ac-
ton of the assembly must be
concurrence Of the council, upon
which the United States is perma-
nentiy represented?
THE league could never be Or
gRnized on any basis other than
that of equal representation. If
members were accorded difference
in representation, upon what basis
should the .appOrtionment be made:
If upon population, China and In
dia would dominate tho league and
the United States would have only
one-fifteenth of the number. II
based upon wealth and military
power, the situation would be
equally as uncertain and unsatis-
factory.
Plans Disarmament
What better plan for disarma-
ment could be devised? The coun-
Gil is directed to prepare a general
plan of disarmament for the con-
sideration OF the governments,
which plan is not binding upon
any of the states until approved
by that state. Under cur govern
ment, the proposed plan, to be eff
fective in binding, must have the
sanction of congress, which is en-
trusted under the constitution the
power of raising armies and equip
ping the navy.
Under article 10. each member
of the league undertakes, first. to
respect the territorial integrity
and political independence of all
other members of the league.
When the nations of the world, So
bered by sorrow and suffering, are
willing to raise their hands and
take this solemn pledge, are we
and stubbornly to stand
aside, and become a stumbling
block in the way of this noble
achievement? Do any of them
have possessions that a we view
with covetous eyes and propose to
seize and annex?
Agree to Protect All.

MOVEMENTS OF GERMAN
MILITARY AND NAVAL FORCES
(By Associated Press.

With the American Forces in Ger
many, Oct. 6.-The old sharp dis
tinction between the German naval
and German military forces is disap-
pearing. As the navy has virtually no
ships, the naval officers and men are
largely available for shore duty.
According to information reaching
the American army headquarters in
Coblenz at the present time such vol
unteer naval units as exist serve
practically as troops along the coast
and transfers of naval men to and
from the Reichswehr, or national
army, are frequent. This is made
easy by the fact that both the Wal
and Navy Departments are under De.
Tense Minister Noske.

ferred to the only forces OF the Ger
man navy atioat, the three or foul
