BIames the Country Church.

New York.-Country churches are
chiefly responsible for driving young
men and women from the farms to the
cities, said Mrs Marx 4. Oberndorfer,
OF Chicago, Chairman Of the Music
Committee of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs here. She is leading
a movement to eliminate suggestive
songs and dances. Mrs. Oberndorfer
is the Granddaughter of a New Eng
land clergyman. Boys and girls
naturally like to sing and dance to-
gether," she says. Ministers who OPP
pose such recreatlons, even when
under proper supervision. merely are
handicapping the opportunities Of all
churches to do good. Community
work during the World War was ham,
pered by narrow-minded preachers"

Loop and Elevated AeriaIs.

An extensive research on radio
transmission and reception with vari.
Gus types OF aerials has been In prog
ress at the bureau Of standards, Wash

questions at the present time is as to
the relative advantages of the an
tenna. or usual type Of elevated aerial.
and the smaller coll aerial or "loop."
This question is answered by the
studies OF the bureau. The small coil
aerial has many advantages, but is
usually not so powerful Transmitting

without exception the suggestions
made, provided first for q perman-
ent court to hear Disputes court

kind Of a League of Nations with

The Covenant referred to the peo-
pie of the United States for accept

League. BY the terms Of the Cove
nant it is TO include all the nations
who signed the Treaty Of Versailles

The League of Nations evidently
looks forward TO an ultimate union Of
all nations, great and small, prog
ressive and backward, old or new, for
the attainment Of its purposes. Il
goes so far even as to include self
governing colonies and give them .

To European nations the member

Why should any American object to
an arrangement so democratic, so con-
sistent with the broad humanitarian
spirit Of America, who receives to the
privilege Of her borders the people
of all lands and sends missionaries
to the remotest bounds TO take q part
in lifting to higher level the back
ward peoples Of the globe?
The Covenant, moreover, provides
for permanent court of interna-

determine any dispute Of an inter-
character, which the par.
ties thereto submit TO II for arbritra-

bers Of the League. as a condition of

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS



he purpose Of the League Of Ma
tons, as shown by the Covenant, was
set forth in the last article. II now
remains to see what provisions
are made by the Covenant for Sc
curing international cooperation and
international peace and security"
II there is any fatal defect In the
plan to merit its rejection at all. II
must lie somewhere In the machinery
of organization. In this matter the
Covenant must speak for itself, as IT
Is the greatest and final authority.
The people must form their opinion
by that alone, IL they desire to be
right in their action upon II.
An effort to discredit the League by
making II appear to be the work Of
one man and calling 1t the "wilson
League" as though that alone was
enough to prove II faulty and war
rant its rejection, is too foolish q
line Of reasoning to merit much Sc
rious attention. President Wilson,
himself, has many times made II clear
that no one man can be responsible
for so great an undertaking. Any man
can only be the agent acting under
set of conditions that never ex-
listed before. Our President found
himself in such a place and he was
strong enough and farsighted enough
to seize the opportunity-as any
president worthy of the name and
place would have done under similar
conditions.
The machinery of organization as
provided by the Covenant can best be
understood in the light Of what has
gone before.
For many years there was no means
Of securing international peace and
security" except by special treaties
or understandings between nations as
special occasions arose. In the Hague
Conventions in 1899 and 1907 an eff
fort was made to prov ie better
machinery and a "court of arbitra-
ton" was created. This court was
not like those with which we are
familiar. II consisted only of a list
Of eminent men made up from all
of the nations which signed the con-
ventions.
In case of disputes which might
lead TO war, the contending nations
could select from this list Board Of
three or five 10 hear the case and
give its decision. That was the ma
chinery Of organization that existed
when the great World War broke out
and proved absolutely unequal to the
situation. There was no regular
time for meeting, there was no way
OF getting a case Of dispute before
this court, and there was no way Of
, rcing the decision II one was
glsVn.
The inadequacy of the Hague Tri-
bunal was generally recognized even
before its final test came. Many pro-
posals and plans were suggested for
stronger machinery of organization
to take its place. II was a subject
that engaged the best minds of all
