Rock Island, Nov. EDITOR The
Argus: I was much impressed and
gratifed in reading an important
article in one Of the leading maya
zines, and only wish it might refer
to more OF our colleges and high
schools OF our present day, as It
seems to me the young people are
Amusement mad" They are not
drunk with wine; but are they not
crazed with entertainment? Amuse-
ment Is necessary and wholesome.
especially for the young, but the
real question is where to draw the
line. II only one-half would be
used for entertainments. how many
starving children could be fed!
This "danceless college" is live
and up-to-date college in the Unit
ed States.
The expense for the student for
dancing is nothing. The dance is
not allowed. Instead of three en-
tertainments week, no entertain
ments are allowed on the days de-
voted to classes, and they do not
average one a week.
AS a result Of these conditions,
they are now in the midst Of a
gracious revival, in which many OF
the students are accepting Christ
as their Savior. II seems to me
II there is a craze sweeping over
the schools, as we'll as institutions
like the Y. NJ. c. A. and Y. W. C.
A.. for amusements, it is because
they have ceased to hold up the
gospel OF Jesus. This "danceless
college" is one carrying full
courses in music, theology. express
sion, domestic science and bust
ness, besides the regular academic
and college courses. According tC
the testimony of the president OF
this college, there is no lack Of en-
thusiastic and wholesome interest
On the part Of the student body
who attend in large numbers. fit
ting themselves for business and
scientific careers. May God bless
and uplift such a college.

under our tutelage, we have more
votes In the league of nations than
any other nation. How could we. In
good faith urge that these nations be
given a voice and deny voice to such
self governing nations as Canada. New
Zealand and the rest, which relatively
speaking, made far more sacrafices In
the war than our own country? IT Is
desirable that all countries should
have an opportunity to be heard In
the league. and the safety of each ma
ton resides In the fact that no action
can be taken without the consent of
all.
Responsibility for the Defeat OF the
Treaty.
II was the design of Senator Lodge.
from the outset to multilate the treaty
and to Illustrate the purposes Of the
administration. And yet Senator
Lodge, with the help of the irrecon-
cilablcs, having torn the treaty to tat
ters and thrown its fragments in the
. face OF the world, has the effrontery
to suggest, in his address at Chicago.
that the president blocked ratification
and postponed peace.
The trouble with the treaty of peace
is that It was negotiated by demo-
cratic president. IL Is not difficult to
assess the responsibility for its defeat.
The responsibility rests. not upon its
friends, but npon the enemies.
The foreign relation committee, i'm
mediateiy following the last election.
was reorganized with n personnel con
sisting of the open foes of the treaty.
Amongst the number was Senator Bo-
