THE DEFEAT OF THE LEAGUE

That there was q conspiracy to de
feat the League Of Nations and at
the same time 20 bring p esident Will
son into d;Srcputc is the contention Of
Scntor John Sharpe Williams. In Il
recent speech he said:
There was chance for the United
States to stand at the head of Il
council of the nations of the world ::
to lead the universe in the pathways
Of peace. The opportunity was re
jcctcd and future historians will re-
fer 10 the last two years as the time
of The great conspiracy that the
history will be diScrcditablc to some,
especially in the American congress
America went to war not because it
wanted to, but because it was a ne
ccssity. We preached to our boys at
home and in France that this war was
being fought that wars might be no
more. We looked on the Sufferings of
Belgium and Siberia and resolved
Then it finally was over and we have
done nothing SO far as we are con
ccrncd it appears we are willing to TO
back to 1914 before it all began.
The lOng-windcd arguments in the
senate were like iiddling rs Rome
burned, talking with world in chaos
Do you blame me for saying that
would rather be dog and bay the
moon than to spend one minute i'm the
senate after the expiration of my
term of Office?
THE great conspiracy commenced
when the president went to Ncrsail-
les and every time news came from
Versailles that the president advocat-
ed or opposed something the con
spirators opposed his plans. They are
two-byfour politicians. call them
that because that is what they are no
matter how high their station.
"Scnator Lodge is the head Of the
poison squad and that after the treaty
had been cmasculatcd with rcscrva-
tionS that no Democrat could accept
he sought to blame the party for its
rejection"

of handling these giants of the air is

YANHC

The thirty first snow. storm of the winter tied up traffic about the worst of the year, the keen wind blowing the falling snow in drifts and after the snow ceased to fall blowing the fine snow about and packing it so that it impeded traffic greatly.
 The boat train which leaves here mornings at 6.35 was on time, leaving the Yantic station Thursday. but be- fore it reached Lebanon distance of five miles it became imbedded in a snow bank. A wrecker was sent for and the different crews of section men called on, but it was 2.30 p. m. before the train left.
 As soon as the crews would shovel way the wind would return their shovelfuls. They worked under diff ficulties as at no time was the tenn perature above the freezing point. The 10 a. m. south bound train went down around 4.30 D. m.
 Never in local annals has s1eighing been as fine. but the majority of daily travellers are finding it bit monotin- ous.
