sacrifices made by the men and won.
en- Of 81 '85 and Of the value to the
country of the deeds of the men who
have but lately returned from the
World war. He also gave an interest
ing picture of the conditions in Eu-
rope during the dark ages and the be-
ginning of the growth of the structure
known as international law, In present
times the last war has shown the world
the need that all war shall cease and
the league of nations as the means
that can make this possible. This coun-
try has dallied with the treaty under
the, influence of partisanship, while 80
nations of the world, each as jealous
of their rights as we are, have adopt
ed it. The speaker stated that this
country should have long since agreed
to the treaty and the league, and thus
place itself in line with the trend of
events and in position to take its
rightful place as leader in the nations
that are working for the best growth
and development of all mankind
