WHERE rs THE LEAGUE?

In spite Of the fact that the primary purpose
OF the league Of nations is to 9 safeguard the
peace of nations, and of the further fact that
Greece is signatory of the covenant and
member of the league council, that country IS
at this moment in active warfare with the Turks
and has announced that it is ready to send an
army of half million men against Turkey. She
is supported by France and England in her ac-
ton, the warshaps of the latter country having
already bombarded certain detachments OF
Turkish soldiers with heavy loss. Time and
time again it has been urged by league advo-
Gates that economic pressure rather than mill
tary force would be used in the future against
nations that persisted in ignoring the conditions
OF the covenant yet there has been not even
semblance of such action against Turkey; on
the contrary, the leaders of the league have IN
stituted bloody war against her to compel COM
pliance with their commands.

pected readjustment of prices. upon a
lower level. AS yet the chief charac-
teristic of the disturbed markets is
a paralysis of activity rather than a
general fall of prices, although prices
undoubtedly have been broken.
Possibly the great distribution of
clothing which took place last year,
and which was incidental to the de-
mobilization of the military forces, has
put the country in position to do with
smaller purchases of clothing this
year. At any rate there are strong
indications that consumers will buy
less of clothing and shoes at the high
prices that have been prevailing than
at lower prices, and that these trades
will not have full employment unless
costs are reduced. They must rest
awhile and ponder over this fact

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
A SONG

A SONG.
What have you seen, what have you heard,
Bird, bird O homing bird?
l saw the fields where nothing grows
And men marching, rows and rows,
And broken trees where nests we're
No bird had builded there!
I heard the cries of men at war,
Around the world their armies are
Around the world and back again
Echo the feet of marching men.
How can you sing, o homng bird,
After what you have seen and heard?
AS have always sung sing,
War cannot stay the feet of Spring.
And when die that men may live,
Then he is poor who does not give,
And / have only songs to bring,
Therefore sing.
You sing your old songs. word for word,
Bird bird, o homing Bird
Over the tortured fields in Spring
Your old, glad song goes echoing,
Why do you not sing litanies
For weeping folk and broken trees?
The singing angel, ISRAELI,
Sends out the little birds to tell
The Love of God in songs that he
Teaches to each one patiently.
niy song is glad because he said
That sad hearts shall be comforted;
That this torn earth shall yield again
Blossom and fruit and seed to men;
That kind new grass shall, blade by blade
Cover the scars that war has made;
That some day down the village street
Again the fathers homng feet
Shall seek the cottage window light
And comforts of the home and night
SO my song goes ringing through
The broken towers and the blue
And trembling air, triumphantly.
I sing what angels have taught me
That God is good and truth is strong,
And right shall triumph wrong.
No heavenly plan has gone astray
Because the blossorning trees of May
Are bruised and torn, and men who give
Their lives that other men may live
Are most like Him who died to save,
And, stronger far than death or grave,
Out of the earth came in the spring,
Therefore sing! Therefore 1 sing!
