ISOLATION, through its president, Hon
Jonathan Bourne Jr. issues the fol-
lowing statement: M g
Shortly before the elections IN
1918 Mr.. Wilson issued an appea,
to the voters to return Demo
cratic senate and house so that sup
port OF his policies, one OF which
he had proclaimed to be the estab-
lishment of league OF nations,
might be assured. The result was
complete reputation OF the presi-
dent, and the election of Republican
majorities in both houses. On
March 4, 1919, round robin was
signed by 80 senator's OF the incom-
ing congress proclaiming to the
world that the covenant of the
league OF nations as then framed by
Mr.. Wilson should not be adopted
by the United States. On November
ll9, 1919, the senate rejected the
league, as Il had been presented TO
Il by the president, by the over
whelming vote Of SO nays to 3s
yeas. On March 10, 1920, the senate
again denied endorsement of the
covenant, even after It had been
Americanized by the Lodge reserva-
tions, by the vote of 40 yeas to S5
mays, two thirds being necessary for
ratification. On November 2 1920,
the American people condemned the
league again by an adverse plurality
of upwards of 100000 votes .af-
ter the question had been made the
chief issue of the campaign follow
ing the edict Of the president that
there should be a solemn referen-
dunn upon 1t.
"The league OF nations has been
thrice killed b. the action Of the

She censured herself for agreeing
TO this South sea honeymoon. Why

that she should not let him set foot
on shore? r. -
She sat on the deck of the steam
yacht Crystal and tried to reason a
way out Of the dlemma--a happy way
out. One course would be to hoist
anchor and steam away. But that
would not be the happy way, because
II would leave Ralph in the clutches

The event that had brought her to
distraction occurred the previous af-
ternOon about 4 o'clock. They had
just arrived at the island and Ralph
had insisted on going ashore.
Margaret realized sense Of fore
bodlng ms her husband set off 10 the

Margaret saw her husband land and
help Samson draw the boat where the
waves could not touch It.; then they
both disappeared into the forest. She

themselves of that idea the better /,

that elected Senator Harding to the
White House decreed that the Unit
ed States should not become a mem

there should be q complete reversal
Of sentiment in the senate. II Is in
conceivable that President Harding
would cast aside the mandate OF the
