drive President Wilson and his "dy.
nasty from power and defeat the
League of Nations as he desires it, de-
clared Henry Cabot Lodge, temporary
chairman OF the Republican National
Convention. in his keynote address
here today.
Defending the Senate's opposition to
the Treaty of Peace as a high and
patriotic duty, the Senator flung down
this gauntlet:
I'VE make the issue; we ask appro-
baton for what we have done. The
people will now tell us what they think

three Of her intimateS as
they sat together over some sewing
designed for orphans, and some hot
chocolate designed for themselves.
"Why?" demanded Louise. SIS any
body going to offer himself to you as

"Well, yes, 1t amounts to that" con-
fessed Peggy. "YOu see, l have decid-
ed to choose between Ray and Lang
don and Cory. I'm tired of being
wooed In threes, and so / dropped a
hint to each one that I would give my
answer on Valentines day, and added
to myself that I would accept the one
who would send me bunch of my
favorite flowers at that time"

speare's plays" said little Phyllis
Brown.
But how do you know that they will
all three send flowers?" demanded
Rita Selden; lone of them may send
you box of candy, or an old-fash-
Toned lace valentine
ooh, / let them know that l consid-
cred flowers the only suitable kind of
a valentine for grown-up girls, and
Ray tried to get me to tell him which
was my favorite flower"
"And which ISL" demanded Louise.
"Pansies," replied Peggy quickly,
"but don't you girls drop hint to
any one of those three boys. 1t seems
to me that the one who finds out for
himself the kind of flower that is the
most expressive of your nature is the
one who can safely be trusted to make
you happy"
"a lovely flower, though" de-
clared Phyllis. as she shipped away at
some basting threads, "but what will
you do If you get no pansies, but re-
ceive, instead, some roses, carnations
or tulips?"
"Ill wait for the pansy man." de-
clared Peggy, anybody who sends me
carnations or tulips doesn't know my
nature, and, although love roses,
they are not as dear to me as pan
sies.'
Lets have another meeting a
couple Of days after Valentines day."
said Phyllis, land Peggy may come,
wearing the flowers that have decided
her fate"
every WELL" agreed Peggy, land in
case there are no pansies, I'll bring
the flowers that did receive, and
present them to you girls"
After Peggy had gone home the
three others talked her over and
agreed that she was lawfully senti-
mental" and little conceited, and
that 1t would serve her right If her
valentines were comics. But all three
looked forward to the next meeting,
and when the day arrived the three
friends were sitting in the front win
dow Of Louise's house, eagerly await
ing the arrival Of the sentimental

entines until this garment was re-
moved. And then Peggy stood before
her three friends arrayed in becom-
ing gown, and with tiny bouquet of
artificial clover blossoms pinned to her
breast.
"No pansies," walled Phyllis; "that
means no engagement"
mo, 1t doesn't" declared Peggy,
blushing; "these cloth clovers mean
that I'm engaged to Langdon. You
see he sent me something better than
pansies; he sent me poem all about
clovers:
""The clover blossoms kiss her feet,
She is so sweet
And l. who may not kiss her hand.
Bless all the wild flowers in the land"
"Now l think that Is better than
pansies, and, Of course, as he could
not get real flowers in the winter, he
sent artificial ones. SO / think he's a
man of sentiment; and it's sentiment I
want"
And the three others agreed that
she certainly had got what she want
ed, and each one lOnged for poem
and an artificial clover.

can woman, she has come to this coun
try and entered Oberln College.
With her came fourteen~other Arme
Man girls In charge of Miss Adelaide
S. Dwight, a Near East Relief worker,
who has been instrumental in helping
to save hundreds of thousands of their
people from death by starvation. Miss
Dwight, who is not given to exagger-
alton and has seen conditions at first
hand, says more than million people
are facing death by starvation in Ar
menia and will perish unless America
aids.
Herself an eyewitness to the Slaugh-
ter Of hundreds of helpless women
and children by the Turks and a vic
tim Of the deportations. Miss Dake-
sian, an unusually pretty girl, says
there is untold suffering in Armenia
and Syria. She praises the efforts Of
the Near East Relief, formerly the
American Committee for Armenian and
Syrian Relief, to save as many OF
these people as possible. At Erivan
the capital of the Armenian republic,
one hot meal is given out daily, and by
this relief alone the city's death rate
has been cut from a thousand daily 70
an average Of twenty. AT Alexandra
pol, where the refugees from Turkish
Armenia were driven by thousands, the
situation is appalling, Miss Dakesan
says. 1t is to avert these wholesale
deaths that Near East Relief is making
a nationwide appeal for funds.

who have been organized into scout

of one of the most troublesome prob

Hounded and driven for four years
having seen their parents and relatives
slaughtered or worse by Turks and
Kurds and themselves forced to beg
steal or do almost anything to exc out
the barest existence, these boys hac
completely lost their moral sense when
they finally found refuge in the Near
East Relief orphangcs.
The boys had been clad in rags fol-
80 long that they had forgotten how to
take care Of clothes. This was 4 tragedy
when the Near East Relief had need OF
every pair of shoes and Of every suit
of clothes for new boys constantly com

Then the boys were organized as
Boy Scouts and given their uniforms.
They began to be careful Of their
school clothes as well as of their uni
forms.
They had been SO often hungry they
had come to steal without eomrunc-

boy stole purse from his American
