ing the world war. Berne was the
whispering gallery of the world.
Switzerland in maintaining her
nuetraIity, played the game excep-
tionally well and fairly. Her popu-
lation is three-fourths German, one
eighth French and one-eighth Italian,
and yet she was fair and square with
all during the worlds most trying
period"
Mr.. Stovall explained why Switzer-
land could not do other than be neu-
trail to all because of her lack of
coal, iron, steel, fertilizers and food
stutfs which came to her from all of
the warning powers.
/ A League Itself.
Switzerland is a league of ma
tons, successful experiment of
those principals. She already has,
in her parliament, adopted the treaty
and league, which now will be sub
mitted to a referendum of her peo-
pies, and the action of the United
States senate will determine this re-
ferendum"
Mr. StovaIl favors the submission
of the treaty and League of Nations
to the American people 1T is for
them to decide. it is their province
to say whether we shall adopt or re-
ject,' he said. The President is
right in carrying this fight back to
the people. He was thus engaged I'M
til some mysterious disease laid him
low.
Let US now stand by the Presi-
dent. l tell you he knows best. He
was the dominant figure in all the
conferences abroad. The whole
world respects this opinion, which
through the unfair methods of politi-
cal enemies, we are about to tsrow
one side.

81 am not in accord with those
senators of the Presidents party,
who are too eager to adopt this great
treaty with reservations" he said.
ANY way, it is now too late to
adopt with reservations. The league
already is formed and functions. We
must come in whole heartedly or not
at all"
Mr. SotvaIl said A. Mitchell Palm
er. attorney general, is the most
promising of all candidates for the
Democratic nomination. HE is
smart, popular, well-balanced and
very popular with the Masses" he
said.

ner at Washington. Palmer made
tremendous hit there.
Bryan Wrong Again.
/ Speaking of Bryan, he said Bryan
was sincere, but wrong again, just
as he was over free silver. During
his preliminary remarks when he was
advising a compromise, there were
cries from all parts of the hall to
stand by the President. Bryan
wants the treaty out of the way for
personal reasons. He has other
/ planks for the Democratic platform,
government ownership of railroads
I for one"
The speaker was given a great ova-
/ ton here after his speech, which was
splendid effort.
At IL pm an informal reception
was rendered him at the County
/ Club.
The daily newspapers of South
] Georgia organized an association
I here and will hold their first meet
ing at Americas, about March /. The
object of the association is to bring
about closer relations among pub
fishers and to accomplish more inten-
sive exploitation of the advantage Of

in much valuable advertising for
