against war.
 The League covenant itself is short and not hard to understand, and I ask you--if you have not already done so ito get a copy and read it for your self, or to go to some of the study classes and speeches where it is be- ing explained. If you understand the League you will be for it, because the best people of every party are for it. If you want information about the l League and can not get it for yourself | drop a card to Box 4I9 Phoenix, and | some data will be sent you.
 Yours, for the League of Nations,
 MRS. MAI N. FREEMAN.

 Phoenix, Arizona. oct. 22. 1920. | Mrs. Mai \. Freeman, City.
 Dear Mrs. Freeman:
 Your letter (not dated) has been re- ceived. It appears to be form" let ter, so I presume that I am not the only voter who is kindly instructed by YOU how to vote.
 You state that eff we are against war" we must vote for the Wilson League of Nations. And you add. that without the League we know" we will" (you probably mean ''shall") have war every few years.
 should say that the information you thus furnish me is important if true" If my memory serves me correctly, you also placed me under obligation four years ago. with letter, in which you stated that it was my duty to vote for MT. Wilson because He kept us out of war"
 It is generally admitted now. I be- Iieve. that a confidence game was per- petrated on the American people four | years ago with this "He kept us out of war" slogan.
 If a person buys a gold brick once. that error is deemed to be excusable because of human fallibility. But what shall we say of one who BUYS A GOLD BRICK THE SECOND TIME. FROM THE SAME PEOPLE?
 don't doubt your own sincerity. l judge that in an unsophisticated and credulous way you are merely carry ing out instructions which you have received from those "higher-up" wf.o assume that women voters will readily accept instructions as to how to vote merely because those instructions bear the signature of a woman.
 But do you really KNOW whereof you speak?
 Do you know that there is absolutely | NO difference in meaning between l "leagues and an alliance? that MT. Wilson shrewdly chose the word league" instead of the word alliance, because he knew that the American people would not even listen to a sug- gestion that we go into an entangling alliance with the nations of Europe and Japan and China? and that the only difference between the proposed Will son alliance and the hundreds of alli- ances which have gone before is that this one is so complicated that 1t con- tains the seeds of war in nearly every paragraph?
 You say you "lknow" that we shall have war every few years unless we accept Mir. Wilson's league. In what direction. may I ask. is the United States threatened with war from any nation of Europe? You OUGHT to possible danger of getting involved in another European war is precisely through our joining an entangling alli- ance which will compel us to take sides in some quarrel in which we should have no interest.
 There are some 19 wars in progress in Europe, now. Most of these wars have grown directly out of dissatisfac- ton with the terms of the peace treaty; !; dissatisfaction with the territorial boundaries arbitrarily fixed by just four men (Messrs. Wilson, Lloyd George, Clemenceau and Orlando) m cynical disregard of the protests of the people of the smaller countries. And the treaty and the Wilson league are one and the same. because MT. Wilson succeeded in carrying into effect hls boast and threat that the treaty and the league "would be SD intertWineo that the could not be dealt with sepa- rately.
 You OUGHT to know, it seems to me that if we join this Wilson treaty league we shall be compelled to act as the policeman and the paymaster-be- cause. as Lloyd George has repeatedly pointed out Uncle Sam is the onl. \ prospective member who has the none, and the men wherewith to do the job. And I don't know of any American I mother who is anxious to send her soI to Europe to be killed in some war il @ which we have no interest. am sur' E I don't wish to send my boy. Every person who keeps ordinaril, well informed on world affairs know that the very last thing that England E France, Italy, Germany, Russia, or an, of the smaller nations of Europe ar \ thinking of or ever will think of. is ' war against the United States. Th K only possible thing which could brini them to a feeling of hostility toward u Is our unnecessary meddling in thei affairs.
 Everybody knows that the Japanes question does contain grave possibili ties of war between the United State and Japan. Are you aware that tn Wilson league would enable Japan t call on the Wilson league of nations {
