say, too long But we went into it at last
what for? You know it was not Tor con-
quest, loot, nor territory, but for one thing
only, TO STOP WAR.
And the League of Nations was conceived
in the very spirit in which the war was
fought and won-to end the long reign of
mitarism.
Drop your differences. The League of
Nations is greater than any mans vanity.
1t outweighs any mans rancor.
1t is more tremendous than any party
issue.
No question within the range of imagi-
nation could come before you as fraught
with Importance as the question of doing
something TO STOP WAR.
Think of the next war; Just the other
day dirigible balloon reached our shores
from Europe in few hours. You do not
have to be told what that means, what new
and appalling terrors it implies.
Get together, gentlemen. Some way, we
care not how, adjust your differences and
get this nation squarely in line with the
common purpose of humanity TO STOP
WAR.
In few years the President and all the
present Senator's will disappear, for you
must all pass away. But this issue now be-
fore you, the most momentous question ever
before any deliberative body on earth, shall
in it's settlement bless or curse mankind for
ever.
hundred million of your fellow citizens
nay, all peoples and races of earth, and the
God of destiny who stands unseen behind
them, await your action.
May that God give you guidance and lift
you to sense of your great responsibility
And may God grant that you talk and
vote, not as Partisans, but as Americans!

TOMORROW

Tn 1879. on the 23d Of September,
i naval battle was fought be
tween the U. s. 8. Bonhomme Rich
ard, commanded by Captain Paul
Jones, and the British frigate Ser
apis. commanded by Captain Pear
on. This battle. the most famous
American naval victory OF the Rev
oluiion. took place In the North
Sea within sight OF the English
coast.
Jones went into action with three
ships-the Bonhomme Richard. the
Pallas. and the Aliiance-all French
ships manned by American and
French crews. The British ship
Scraps and another armed English
ship were conveying a fleet OF mer.
chant ships to protect them from
Paul JoneE' little American squad
ron. The battle began at 7 p. m. in
darkness, and ended at 1880 p. m.
under a full moon. Both the Ser
apis and her companion ship sur
rendered.

Gentlemen of the Senate, permit me.
speaking as one of the people of the United
States, to say few plain words to you.
l speak of the Treaty of Peace which is
now before you for ratification or rejection,
and of the League of Nations which is a
part of it; and would ask you to bear in
mind few plain points.
1t is often the obvious and simple elements
of question which, in the complexities of
debate, we forget.
First, this League matter is not, and
ought not to be made, partisan question.
1t is too bigs
1t is a question as big as the United
States, indeed as big as the World.
1t is as big as the war.
Everybody but fool knows that the war
was not fought and won by political party,
or by any one section of this nation. Repub-
leans and Democrats died side by side on
the fields of France.
The League of Nations was the natural
outcome of the League formed on the bat
tlefield. AS the war could not be won
against so powerful an enemy without a
full concert of civilization, so the peace so
hardly gained cannot be continued if civil
ization again falls apart.
The League is the first intelligent effort
of the whole human race to do away with
war; and war is so great q curse that only
the combined efforts Of all mankind can re-
move it.
AS such, you surely, the highest repre-
tentative body of the most enlightened ma
ton on earth, will certainly look on it with
favor and make any sacrifice to insure its
success.
You know this great people did not want
TO get into this war. We hesitated. some
