Majority Report to American
Bar Association Urges
Ratification.

ST. LOUIS, August Identification
Of the peace treaty, including the
league of nations covenant. without
amendments. will be recommended at
the convention of the American Bar
Association here. August rs to 81,
inclusive. The recommendation will
be in the majority report of a special
committee appointed to consider the
treaty.
The committee which signed the
report was composed of Edgar A.
Bancroft of Chicago. William H. Wad
hams of New York and the late Fred
erick n. Judson of this city.
Charles Blood Smith of Topeka.
Kan; tand Henry st. George Tucker
Of Lexington. Va, will present a
minority report, in which they assert
they are unable to concur" with the
majority committee.
Sections of reports to be presented
at the convention have been received
by members of the local arrange
mentS committee. The reports treat
of various subjects.
Declaration on League.

posals for league of nations. should

awaits the termination of the great
war. If amendments are proposed
by the United States other govern
ments would undoubtedly propose
amendments. and it is unlikely that
a second conference could produce
4 more satisfactory treaty.
1T is particularly fitting that the
United States should support the pro-
posal for this league. The league
is based upon our own experience in
a federation of states enjoying lib
erty and peace. IT has been our high
destiny to join with our allies in pre-
venting the destruction of liberty and
establishing it as the governing
principle in the life of the states.
U. s. Position on Entering War.
Upon entering the war We ex-
pressed 1t as our desire and purpose
to secure not only for ourselves. but
for all nations of the world. an en-
during peace. based upon those princi-
nles of liberty and of justice which We
enjoy. The league is organized for
that purpose. Should the United
states refuse to enter the league it
would defeat it's organization: should
the United States Join it gives the
best assurance of it's success"
Dealing with the subject of amend
ments and reservations. the report
iterates that amendments are de-
structive to the pact. and emphasizes
should be permitted.

Reddy felt sure of that, for it was
the middle of the morning and that
is when Hooty sleeps.
Stealthily Reddy crept forward un-
til he was under that tree in which
Hooty was sitting asleep. Then Reddy
began to search about on the ground.
Presently he found a little ball. a
queer little ball. 1t was of tiny bones
and fur. rolled together. 1t was what
Reddy was looking for. He examined
it Carefully. Mouse" said he, and
looked for another.

course bones. fur and feathers can
not be digested. SO altar all that is
good has been digested Hootys stom-
ach rolls the bones. fur and feathers
into little balls. Then Hooty brings
them up into his mouth and drops
them out. So. by examining these
little balls, it is posi- bic to learn just
what Hooty has been dining on, and
as he has the habit of sitting in the
same Tree day arter day. the record of
many meals may be found on the
ground just below his perch.

After a while Reddy came to the
darkest, loneliest part of the Green
Forest. and then he began to move
very quietly. taking care to make no
sound and to keep under cover as
much as possible. Straight toward a
certain tall tree he crept. When he
got where he could see up in it he
stopped and looked long and care
fully. Presently he chuckled, but it
was a noiseless chuckle. High up in
the tree. hidden among the thick
branches. sat a tall dark form. 1t was

he examined another little ball. Mole,

Patiently and carefully Reddy
searched for these queer little balls,
and he found many. But in not sin
gle one did he find the hair of a Rab-
bit. Satisfied at last that Hooty had
not caught Peter Rabbit he stole
away as quietly as he had come.
Straight to certain sunny knoll he
