The League Question.
The league of nations was discuss
ed from woman's viewpoint by
Mrs. Boucher. She said that one
could remember back to when VIII
son left this country to attend the
peace conference and how every
ones prayers were with him. She
recalled his reception there, and his
reclamation by the smaller countries,
because of his slogan of equal jus
tice to the weak as well as the strong.
They felt the brotherhood of man
had been attained. But in contrast
she recalled the chagrfn Of the re-
turn, and how America realized that
the diplomats of Europe were laugh
ing at the way they had outwftted
our professor She spoke OF some OF
the characteristics Of the president,
especially tenacity, and how that
frequently such characteristics could
be oyerdone.
She called attention to the fact
that the democrats had said when
women could vote, 1.-THE league is
safe, because women are sentimen-
Ital." She called on the women ito

not believe that intelligent American
people, men or women, could vote
for league or covenant which con-
tains the seeds for war.

and county attorney, spoke briefly u

1t takes two-thfrds Of the senate
to concur in treaty making, and
Mrs. Boucher reminded her audience
how the president did not ask the
senate to sign, but demanded tnat it
sign. She suggested that If the
United States did not want its SEN
ate to participate that it should
establish monarchy. She said that
England, France and Italy would
have taken the league with reserva-
ltions that would have protected
American rights, but that Mr.. Wilson
did not want such thing and that
when he insisted the senate said,
Very well, there. is. your league, and
Mr.. Wilson has it yet"
Made In TWO Weeks.
The league, she said, was made in
two weeks. Other countries wanted
peace, and then the league issue
came up The nations divided the
world and England asked for the
protectorate over Egypt, Persia and
India, and incidentally six votes. Mr..
Wilson said, Take it, gentlemen .
Then Japan saw how easy it was and
demanded Shantung, and the Pacific
coast policy built up by our diplo-
mats was surrendered. The ideals
of the president were gone, not a
single weak nation was protected.

completion of the memorial is the
placing of the equestrian group and
the panels on the center PEDESTAL
Under the most recent extension OF
the contract time. the memorial should
have been completed by August 10.
1919, and it had been tentatively ar-
ranged that the memorial should he
formally dedicated in May of this
year According to Col. Ridley. the
officer in charge. the structure may
not be ready for dedication before
the spring of 1921.
Correspondence with Henry NJ
Shrady of New York, sculptor shows
that the work of casting the clay
model of the equestrian group into
bronze has been delayed much be
yond the time fixed for its completion
by strikes and labor troubles at the
foundry. and that the war made it
difficult to get suitable material for
the modelling of the panels. Because
of those conditions the War Depart
ment has found it necessary to eK-
tend for another year the time for
the completion Of the memorial.
