Republicans Still Looking
 for the Alternative"

60 HE fundamental difference be- ll tween the League of Nations, to which President Wilson and the great statesmen of Europe agreed and the league which the enemies of the President as head of the democratic party are trying to formulate, is that the world fairly we'll understands the former and is at loss to understand what the other will be.
 Speaking of the attitude of Senator Borah with regard to the league, a news item from Marion, O., the head quarters of the republican presidential candidate, says:
 It has been understood that Sem
 ator Borah has always had in mind
 a constructive alternative for the
 League of Nations as an institution
 for eliminating wars, but that he
 felt that the first thing to accom-
 plish was to defeat the principle upon which he alleges the league is founded.
 The alternative" is the eternal stumbling block of the opponents of the Wilson league; the league, by the way, to which thirty-seven nations have given their approval. The only nations not approving this league are former open enemies of the United States and Mexico, which certainly was not this country's friend in the world war.
 Ever since Senator Lodge blew the first trumpet summoning the repub- licans to fight the Wilson league, they have been looking for this "alterna-

About two weeks ago, when I raided still in a house on Vine street in West End, found that this story on myself was too good to keep" said N. L. Pierce, federal prohibition officer. Several months ago, when I came to Birming- ham, I was looking for a house and was about to buy the very one I later raided. The man who lived there was showing me the premises and when we came to one of the outhouses 1 asked to see the inside. The man got very much excited, declared he did not rent that building and backed me out en- tirely. l thought at the. time that I smelled beer, but because I am so often in a position where 1 smell it 1 made myself believe that the odor was an hallucination, and went away without thinking any more about it. Some time later when we raided the place we found kegs and barrels of beer. All of which goes to show that when fellow is taking his leisure he is pretty apt to be entirely off the job"
