JUST A LIE.

1t is indeed pitiful to hear i'm
Christian America the thought en-
pressed that had we been i'm the
League we would now be at war
helping Poland. This not ONLY is
not true, but the present situation
proves the falsity Of another charge
against the League. Poland's ap-
peal to the League was not answer
Ell with declaration of war be-
cause England objected. Thus
showing it requires unanimous de-
clSlon before war can be undertake
Ell. England did not want war and
her negative vote prevented the
League from interfering. Just ex-
actly that has always been the Pres
ldents position. Had we been i'm
the League our one objection would
have kept the League from any par
tlcIpation in measures against Rus
Sla. But the truth is that had we
been in the League there would
have been no military operatiins be-
tween Russia and Poland. The
matter would have beeen peacefully
settled i'll all human probability.
The League without the u. S. is not
the same as the League with theU.
). But keep it in mind that right
now it is being demonstrated that
the vote of one member can pre-
vent me League from going TO war;

icctcd above the water and with
hand drills cut a hole in the side of
submrSible, through which the ex-
haustcd members of the crew, who
had practically abandoned all hope
of rescue, were drawn to safety.
The submarine lay in the posi-
ton described So miles south of
Cape Henlopen of the Atlantic
coast.
The Goethals arrived on the scene
and her crew Immediately went 10
work. Courageous sailors from
that ship fearlessly clambered
aboard the swinging stern of the
submarine. Hand drills were pas
scd to them as they clung to her
sides.
The work of drilling was pushed
rapidly until hole large enough

cut.
The crew then was removed one

The message from the Goethals
fixed the number of men imprisoned
aboard the submarine at 40.
