(Ry X. r. oImsted.)

Detroit, Especially Michigan IS
again proving herself. As her res
ldents stood shoulder TO shoulder In
accomplishing every task that was
laid before them up 10 the time Of the
signing OF the arnnstice, so are these
same people ralIyins TO the call OF the
Methodist church for aid In making
the Methodist Missionary Centenary
an unprecedented success.
"The people know that the centen-
ary program for world democracy,
eternal peace and Christian fellowship
is ideal, but it can be accomplished
only through education. The hearts
Of men must be cleansed before war
Is cast aside. World democracy can
not be made a reality by few men

them how practical and beneficial the

The more general the discussion be-
comes on the League of Nations ques7
tion the more general the conviction
is that amendments 10 the Constitu-
tion as proposed by Pres. Wilson are
needed. About as touchy a portion Of
the document as one finds Is that
which might make 1t necessary for
Americans TO send their sons to Asia,
Africa or any other part OF the world
TO enforce the mandates OF the League
OF Nations. Ask any OF your fellow
townsmen or -particu-
larly the latter-if he or she wants
10 send his or her son forth, and
it's rarely that you'll get an afilrma-
tive answer. Yet, America must give
something IL Ii is to get some or the
benefits OF this league. 1t seems that
the frame OF mind of the average citi-
zens is much the same in regard to
'Shis league that ii was among our
forefathers under the continental
congress. That body could order, but
the responses to it's orders were not
very hearty. High sounding phrases
will not answer for action If Ameri-
ca goes into this league IL should go
in right; with a purpose to hold up
its end and see II through no matter
how distasteful the task assigned TO
us. Now is the time to consider all
these things, before we give our word.
"A little more Information on all
points OF the covenant will put us in
much better position to pass judg-
ment
