Kansas City.-RebelliouS nature de-
manded her already overdue toll and
brought to a dramatic end the one
sided conflict between the mental and
physical resources of Woodrow Will
son.
The President was compelled to sur
render to greater force than he could
hope to conquer. Threatened with a
complete nervous collapse as a result
of the almost superhuman struggle to
which he has devoted every ounce of
his spirit and energy for more than
two years, the President has been or
dered on the sick list for the time be-
ing.
How long he will stay there depends
entirely upon future developments.
His campaign to educate the people
of America in the terms of the League
of Nations was abandoned at the order
OF Rear Adpiral Cary Il. GraysOn, his
personal p Sician. 1t ended under
dramatic Z cumstanceS at 8 o'clock
in the morning in a little clump of
shanties tenanted by negroes border
ing the railroad tracks leading into
Wichita, five miles away, where
Assistant Secretary Brahaney went
by motor to Wichita station, mile
away, to tell the local reception COM
mittee that the President could not
leave the train. On the way the
streets were lined by thousands who
had gathered along the route of the
scheduled automobile ride in the bust
ness section.
Later the following statement was
issued from the train
ITO the People of Wichita:
1T is with sincere regret that I am
unable TO meet the fine people of
Wichita and Kansas to lay before
them all the facts regarding the treaty
of peace and the League of Nations.
I know with what candOr they would
desire to treat this important matter,
and 1 am confident what their judg-
mont of the facts would be. 1t is a
real disappointment to me that L must
leave Kansas without having the
pleasure of again coming into person
al contact with them.
"WOODROW WILSON"
Although outwardly the President
had appeared to be standing we'll the
l,ard ordeal of more than three weeks
&C travel and speechmakiug. it be
came known that for some days he
rad suffered from headache. He also
has been much fatigued by the con
fnement of his special train, broken
only by brief stops which have been
mostly in riding through crowds and
speaking to audiences so large as TO
require all his exertion to make his
voice heard
Mr.. Wilson had made nearly forty
sESeeches since he let Washington on
September 3, and had spent all but
about half dozen nights on the train.
Five addresses remained on his un-
completed schedule. After tFe two in
Kansas he was to have spoken I'm Lit
tie Rock Memphis and Louisville.
1t was declared by members of the
Presidents party that one of the or.
deals which seemed to be most trying
on his nerves has been the automobile

The American people are not ready

NOT THE LEAGUE OF OUR
DREAMS.
(Toledo Weekly Blade.)


The American people want a league
of Nations-if that will bring the
world nearer to universal peace and
not entail too heavy responsibility
and obligation upon the United States
The American people do not want a
League of Nations-if that means they
must dip into every quarrel, however
remote. and supply in flesh and blood
of their sons the cannon fodder for
these arguments.
When first it seemed as if the
league might be a reality. the impress
sion made upon folk was altogether
roseate. 1t gave this Nation some
thing of religious thrill. One felt
that here at last was the guarantee
against the agony and misery of war
Here was peace among men vitalized
into more than hope. Here was
Christian brotherhood, so long dreamed
of. just over the horizon.
Doubts were slow to come Cues
tions Jagged. When they came, they
were forced by the development of
events. One beheld a nation of Eu-
rope deliberately grabbing vast treas
of land in the faith that when the COW
eDant of the league became operative.
the nation would be confirmed in its
lootings. Was league we dreamed
of possible where selfishness was so
manifest One saw an aggressive ma
ton of Asia calmly settling itself
upon the lands of a neighbor and leav-
ing the adjudication of the rights of
the case to the slow workings of an
tribunal bound to give
weight to the status quo. Was the
league TO be an instrument to under
write robbery? One heard of the adj
at Washington promot-
ing the covenant as a revised set of
articles of faith and heard at the same
time the secretarw of war and the
secretary of the navy pleading with
congress for larger ornaments as an

THE GOLDEN STAR

(By Della Rhodes. In memory Of
my brother Bugler William David
Yaden, who gave his life Oct. 5, 1913
in the Argonne Forest in France.)
Godhung on high a golden star.
When he gave to men his son;
Proclaiming to nations near and far
The Savior of men had come.
He saw a people sore oppressed
Under a yoke of sin, \
He sent his son to their distress,
That they might have peace within.
Those who believed Him and confessed
His power to save the blind and lar1e
The lick and sorrowing closely pressed
TIC Christ thru the vast crowd came
Dear God. Thine own son was divine,
And when his life he gave,
He paid the ransome for all mankind.
Their precious souls to save.
Our sons have also paid the price,
The noblest they had to give,
But il took a million to sacrifice
That the world in peace might live.
Each gave his life for a blessed cause:
That all men might be free.
They left their homes. as did our Lord
To die across the sea-
When our sons sailed Ger the ocean \
far
We gave each a star OF blue.
But the Blue was replaced by golden
star.
When we gave them back to you.
So the golden star proclaims to all
A beloved son has been given
In ages past One came to us.
Now ours has gone to Heaven. 2,
At Easter our dear Lord arose.
To ascend to his home above,
He stands there now in eager pose,
To welcome the soldier home in love.
Lord help us all to do our best.
And be true as the boys have been
When Thou hast called us home TO
rest
with our loved ones once again.

the cost of production and the cost of
