RELIGIOUS OPPOSITION
 TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS

W. H. Reed. a brother of Rev. John K Reed of this city, in a letter to the Sterling. Qls.), Gazette conveys his views in opposition to the league of nations, basing it largely on religious grounds. He writes:
 The large vote that is cast for Hiram Johnson at the primaries of the differ ent states is significant Senator John son is one of the chief opponents of the league of nations-at least he is op- posed to having the United States talk ing any part in it. It is evident that those who vote for him and have for their slogan, I'm for Hiram, are in sympathy with his attitude. And also approve of the senate's action.
 The United States senate has re- jected the league. It is well. There is nothing to gEseve over. If there is to be a league of nations. yet there be one made that is not inspired by fear, greed and revenge, but one that has some semblance of humanity about it.
 When President Wilson went to the peace conference as the self appointed representative of the United States. he was very anxious to have his league of nations adopted. In order to gain the support of the other allies, he gave his sanction to all the monstrous terms that they insisted should be in the peace treaty. The treaty was com pleted, and was of such a nature as would SOW the seeds of strife, hatred and war for years to come.
 The people of the United. States, without being consulted d all, were asked to ratify the league Of nations and peace treaty without making a single change in it.
 The vote for Senator Johnson indi- cates that large proportion of the people are against it.
 Now let us look at the moral aspect of the question.
 What was the United States asked to do2 Our country was asked to join a league that would be composed of a great many nations. Some of them have policies and practices that are different from ours. There is France for instance. It is a. well known fact that for many years the government of France has been infidel. The French are a. blight on colonies. Their record fin the island of Madagascar is one of the most shameful that I ever read.
 Is it likely that such nation would be governed bv Christian principles in dealing with the nations of the world [? There was no recognition of God at that peace conference, neither were there any religious devotions that any one knows of
 The United States was not animate by greed and revenge. as the European allies were. If we would join the league we would be made partal1ers with them.
 Jehosaphat. a righteous king. made a league with Ahab. a wicked king and when he returned home, he was met by the prophet of the Lord, who pronounced a judgment upon him. e Chrom. 19:21
 The United States has loaned bill lions of dollars to the European coun- tries and kept them from starving and doubtless will continue to do so without any domination from a league of nations

The Star Spangled Banner! Long may she wave. Was there ever a non hyphenated American who has faxed upon Old Glory or listened to the play ing of The Star Spangled Banner in foreign lands, whose red blood cor puscles did not start jumping the hurdles and water ditches in their sys- eyes assume a semi -lachrimos condi- ton. What a restful. satisfied, con- tented, protectorate and home-loving feeling is kindled in a Yankee traveller or tourist as he rests in the shadows of that starred and striped combination of bunting backed by our Uncle Sam.
 The All-American team of wingshots who represented America in all inter national races in 1901, were imbued with a reverence and love for the old flag, (ever carried with us) adopted as our mascot and proving a winning se- same under any and all conditions dur ing our tour in pursuit of international trapshooting honors. Our trip from Liverpool to London was a succession of interesting episodes and scenery. Continuous effort on the part of land scape gardeners made our entire cross country trip a source of eye delight. Our arrival was heralded ahead to sportsmen interested in trapshooting At every train stop we were met by a congeniaI aggregation, many of them accompanying us into London. Mem bers of the British team, unable to make the reception trip to Liverpool. met us at the Paddington station. As our special train pulled slowly in, cheers were our first introduction to the assembled crowd. An excellent band played for our benefit. the Star Spangled Banner, chest inflator eye dampener and home reminder. Car riages, decorated with American bunt- ing, wheeled us to the Cecil hotel on the banks of the old River Thames. At this hostelry. an extended settle

ment of American colonists are always found. Many directly connected with Americas sports world, were seated around the thirst tables in the outside court, immediately extending to us a glad hand and asking if we had seen the American bar in the hotel The inquiry became so general that curl- osity enticed us to enter. The only innovation which savored of American equipment was the brass foot-rail which proved an especial qualification to Jim Elliott. one of our team mem bers, who had prior to this time elon- gated his pedal extremities in unsuc- eessful efforts to locate a foot rail in England.

 Our first financial venture was the signing of a lease for the duration of tallyho coach propelled by six white horses, the ensemble including two uniformed vaIets and one skilled trumpeter This outfit was scheduled to arrive every morning in the court of the Cecil hotel at o'clock, the en- try to be announced by trumpeter pip ing "Hot Time in the Old Town To American production. It was not our intention to take high society quickly to the mat, neither did we care to crfp- pie but just kill them and end all suf- fering. Our team members were men of unusual size, making a striking ap- pearance as they showed on the strand in their walking suits, long overcoats and topped with tall tiles, assuming the American swagger.
 A number of the team were ob- served in the hotel lobby, by an Eng lishman, who came to me with the re- mark, Captain Marshall you have a dueced fit looking lot of men Undue pride immediately inflated my system and I confided to him the fact, They reminded me of Happy Cal Wagner s n1instrels on street parade" The re-

Question: What are the difference in rules governing trapshooting in Ameri- ca and rules under which the American team will shoot in the Olympic games held abroad this year? Where are the games going to be held2 How many on team ?-E. T. G., Pittsburg, Pa.
 Answer The Olympic games are staged in Antwerp. Belgium, this year. There will be six men on the team, 10 be named prior to the start of the shoot, with privilege of substituting two other men, The radical difference in the rules are the fact: The butt of gun must be held between the hips and the arm pit until the target appears in sight To put the gun to the shoulder, even after a material delay, prior to the appearance of the target, means a lost target regardless of results. To call epuIl' or ready and immediately thereafter throw the gun to the shoul- der before the target appears in sight, means a lost target. Targets 5 meters rise (16 4-10 yards) unknown angles and d contestant is allowed two shots at a target. In case of tie. the con testant shooting the least number of shots wins. The team will be known as the United States Olympic Trap shooting team and MT. Jay Clark. IT,, Worcester.

mark bounced from the Englishman to Cauncey Powers who agreed with me as a diagnostician. Our first coach trip was made to the grounds of the Middle sex Gun club where our series of five races were to be shot later. A white tented city was erected in the shooting paddock back of the traps, where everything was vended from pink tea to Scotch and soda. For the personal convenience of our team they had placed a commodious tent near the traps. making it home like by flying 8 large American flag from the top, an invite to all disciples of Uncle Samuel to come and see us, which they cer- tainly took advaptage of during the events. We were home guests of the English team members. honor guests of clubs, while the American colony added materially to our evenings entertain ment. Many noted points of interest were shown us, our evenings being de-
 voted to the real angle of London sight seeing. My next team article appear ing in this paper will cover our days of practice and impression of the style, form and accuracy of our opponents.

New York s Sensational
 Waltz Ballad

A new song that is now all the rage in New York and throughour the country, When I'm Gone You'll Soon Forget Despite the fact that it has only been published few weeks this ballad is said to rival any sensational song hit published with in recent years Of course, there is the usual mystery in the ending of the story of this song, like the con tinuation of a love story in a maga- zine. But everybody seems to glory in the mystery. The following are a few lines of the chorus, clipped from a copy just received.
