Chapter |.

For a soldier, the League Of Nations
has just n meaning-War. 1t is a
contract to fight. If W. join the league
we agree to fight when called in to
do SO.
international lawyers and diploma
lists may argue this point. Some say
hat we may sign the league covenant
and still not fight unless we want.
they argue that, after our allies call
on us. we still are at liberty to 30 in
n stay out.
The soldier does not look at the
league covenant in this way. He does
not bother with the law or diplomacy.
We sign q contract we must keep 1t.
We give a promise: we must redeem
It. He does not even think about

which no other women's club has ever at
tempted in New York, But owing to the
large number of members who were engaged
in war work, fifteen members having served
overseas throughout the war and many
others giving their strength to war work at
home, the larks were not inaugurated until
the club had become comfortably estab-
lished in its handsome and commodious new
clubhouse at AZ West Fffty-eighth street

times not heavily. AS one of the officials Of

IN the last half Of her picturesque career.
The st. Louis broke no records In her
transatlantic voyage, although accredited
With a speed exceeding twenty-five knots an
hour over an English Channel course Of more
than fifty sea miles. When she departed on
her maiden trip for England It was re-
marked that she was out for the blue ribbon
of the Atlantic, but she really never had
much Of a, chance to win 1t. Many ships that
made fine showings on a measured course
have failed to score extraordinary records on
the ocean lanes On that initial run, which
began on June 5, 1895, the st. Louis carried

ent
The ST. Louis has distinctions other than
being the first American ship TO boost the
hope Of an American merchant marine
worthy the country. She also was the first
vessel to carry an experimental cargo Of
American apples to England. Since then, ex-
cept during the war, when they were barred
as luxuries, apples and other American fruits
have become important items in Our export
trade. She was also the first American liner
TO run the gantlet Of submarines, and prob
ably the first to engage in target practice on
icebergs, firing thrty-two rounds, mostly at
a range of about 5000 yards.
