AN AMERICAN LEAGUE.

From Uruguay and from it's PRESIDENT a
statesman Of renown in Latin-America, comes
a call for an American league, based in the
Monroe doctrine, on pan-Amerlcan brotherhood,
on arbitration of differences and on American
solidarity against aggression from outside
As President Brum points out, 1.-THE Monroe
doctrine has constituted on the whole an eff
ficacious Safeguard to the territorial integrity of
many American Countries For him it is a
continental doctrine, the most important ennun-
citation that affects this hemisphere, and not
a mere regional understanding as article
twentyone of the covenant calls it. The league
would interfere in no way with the most cor
dial relations or closest economic ties between
the American republics and any foreign states.
It would defend the countries of America
against foreign invaders and imperialstc ten
denotes which might arise among themselves.
The ennunciation by each of them Of a doctrine
similar to the Monroe doctrine would place all
of them on a footing Of perfect moral equality
with the United States.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
SUMMER MAGIC.

So many cares to yex the day,
So many fears TO haunt the night,
Ny heart was all but weaned away
From every lure of old delight,
Then summer came, announced by june
" 18th beauty, miracle and mlrtn
She hung alolt the rounding moon,
She poured her sunshine on the earth,
She drove the sap and broke the bud,
She set the crimson rose aflre
She stirred again my sullen blood
And walked in me a new desire
Before my cottage door she spread
The softest carpet nature WeaVes,
And deity arched above my head
A canopy of shady leaves.
Her nights were dreams of jeWeled SKIES,
Her days were bowers rife with song,
And many scheme did she devise
To heal the hurt and soothe the wrong.
For on the hill or in hot DELL
Or where the brook went leap1ng by
Or where the fields would surge and swell
With golden wheat or bearded rye,
! felt her heart against my own,
| breathed the sweetness OF her breath,
Till all the cark of time had flown,
And l was lord of life and death. -.. H..

Chairman Cummings of the democrat ma
tional committee says that if the president is
unable to make speeches in the campaign he
will write Observing the flat failure of Mr..
Wilson's speaking campaign last fall for the
league, it is probable Mr.. Cummings desires
that the presidents views shall be expressed in
writing this year.

Hnra is a little financial war history culled

Here is a little financial war history culled
from the records of the war department. "A
bridge had to be built at Fort Rlley, Kansas
The contract price was forty-tlVe thousand col
lars. When we entered the war, the war de-
partment took the workers on the bridge away
by offering eight to nine dollars per day wages
in place of the prevailing wage. Now the treas
ury must pay bill to the contractors OF thirty
thousand dollars and they still claim they are
losers bv fifteen thousand dollars The public
RAYS seventv-ive thousand dollars for a forty
five thousand dollar Job and the contractors lose
fifteen thousand dollars This is what came of
war department management of finance.

to fill existing scholarship vacancies after careful consideration of record, character and service.
 It is contemplated that some agency of the war department will be responsible that candidate, once enrolled in an institution, is followed in his career, thus morally obligating the army to keep in touch with it's representatives
 In order that more complete data may be secured from the various in stitutions and in order that full op- portunity to institute and develop suitable tests may be afforded, it has been decided to postpone the operation of these scholarships un- til September, 1921.
 The present plan contempates that the applicant for a scholarship must be either a native of the state

chance for a thorough college edu. cation will soon be open to qualified soldiers of the United States army From the first grade to the final collegiate degree, the way is being paved by the war department, with the cooperation of numerous educa, tional institutions, for a complete training in all academic and in many technical courses.
 By the autumn of 1921 it will be possible for more than 100 quail fled soldiers to lay aside their uni forms and enroll as students in as many colleges throughout the coun try.
 While this project is an entirely new departure for the military es. tablishment, it is the result of a definitely conceived plan to make the army an organization of the full est educational opportunity and to offer soldiers the same chance for mental improvement which they might secure in civil life.
 The present educational and voca tional program of the army, which has been in operation for more than a year, includes elementary and sec ondary subjects and it is now DOS sible for the soldier to obtain the equivalent of q high school educa tion. The arrangement which has been made by the war department and various educational institutions throughout the country will enable soldiers to continue their education with minimum of expense to them selves.
 While the project is still in a formulative stage, a sufficient mum Der of colleges have offered scholar ships to insure full opportunity fol every soldier who desires these edu catiOnal advantages. From thirty eight institutions have come assur ance that tuition and other assist ance will be given students, fifty-twc colleges have signified their ability to grant tuition or a reduction stil have the matter under advisemen1 and several others declare that they will make every effort to further the war departments plan.
 The scholarship question was firs brought to the attention of the coun try's educators through a letter ad dressed to the presidents of the leading institutions by the secretary of war who said in part:
 ''The war department is at presen engaged in putting into effect { carefully considered plan intended to improve the" army, make it more attractive to young men and demon strate that it is a vital and natura part of the social organism of the

from which the scholarship is of fered or member of an organiza- tiOn allocated to that state.
 Favorable replies to the letter of the secretary of war were received from many institutions.
