Praises League of Nations.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
1t must be very disappointing TO
the opponents of the league of ma
tions to fnd 1t functioning and
growing in popularity day by day.
The press dispatches tell US that
Article X, about which so much
bitter criticism was hurled by the
bitter-enders has been retained by
the league committee. They claim
the provision Is too valuable a
peace principle to be eliminated"
The report says:
THE committee has decided
unanimously in favor of main
tcnance of the principle set out in
Article Y. Exclusion of acts of
aggression as a means Of modify
ing the territorial integrity and
political independence of states is
the very essence of the league of
nations. Article \ was not to
perpetrate territorial and political
organizations as established and as
existing at the time of the recent
treaties OF peace The in
tcntion of Article X is to enunciate
the principle that hereafter the
civilized world can not tolerate acts
of aggression as a means of modi-
flying the territorial status quo and
political independence of states"
Now follows an important feature
of the covenant: The report de-
clares members are not obliged to
take part in any military action
being free to make their own ulti-
mate decision" That disposes OF
the claim of the opponents of the
league that the United States would
be under compulsion to send a mill
tary force to Europe should the
council make such a demand. The
friends of the league contended
that only Congress could say
whether we would furnish troops
under any pretext Many of the
ablest men in this country are con-
fident that sooner or later the
United States will become a mem
ber of the league of nations. II
will take time to convince the
American people a blunder was
committed in repudiating 1t.
Had 1t been ratified the necessity
of a conference in November next
would have been obviated, for the
league made provision for dealing
with every problem that can pos
sibly be presented to the confer
ence for solution. In the mean
time. however, every lover Of peace
will ardently hope the conference
will accomplish all that is expected
Of It.
BY the way, 1t is gratifying tc
know the Democratic party
through a committee. has approved
of the conference and promised tc
do all in their power to make 1t 8
success Such a nonpartisan spirit
is in striking contrast to the
Republicans in regard to the league
Of nations. 1t would have been a
graceful thing had the administra'
tion appointed two Democrats ou'
Of the four delegates to the confer
ence. 1t would have eliminated any
suspicion of partisan spirit.

A First Volunteer.

MO COLLECTOR of art objects, of curios.
Y of anything from stamps to old clothes is
ever satisfied. The collection is never large
enough or complete enough to satisfy, and there
is always the craving for more. Ever since the
identification game got to be a speciality, the ex-
perts at it have become collectors. When Mr..
Bertillon threw his hat into the ring, he opened
Pandora's box.
Now his identification disciples having filled
rooms with delicious variety of measurements,
would be delighted to add 100000 finger prints
properly indexed labeled and illuminated and
guarantee that no two alike. To this initial
collection they would add few million year
Time was when they content to have this
inevitable mark only of criminals supposed
criminals and maybe criminals. This has sort of
identified finger marks with crime and has sur
rounded them with the prison atmosphere.
But now, when the collecting craving reaches
out for other worlds, the peaceful law-abiding
harmless citizen who could not commit crime if
he lay awake nights trying to create the desire,
is told of the manifold advantages to him if
only all the police of the United States had his
finger print. 1t would no longer be necessary
for accident insurance company to incudue an
identification card with each policy attach a
finger print to your key ring and when lost the
police of any city could at identify you as

would not have to stop to bother Mrs. Smith
to please pick out Mr.. Smith so Mr.. Jones could
then go home. They would only need to compare
the finger prints on their key rings with the
finger prints at the key holes any policeman
could identify them. If good citizen was any
where down by non-discrimnating motor
car and his neck broken the police could identity
the owner of the neck in time for release to the
morning papers. -
Seriously speaking, however, it is not bad
idea Like cremation, it may be dspleasing at
first thought, and the last thing the average per-
may to undergo. But most people can
at least appreciate the advantage it might be for
others. 1t would at solve many present.
day mystery OF unknown wanderers with lost
memories, unidentified bodies OF the lost or muir
dered, of suicides accidentally killed 1t would
bring relief to hundreds who are stranded or un-
fortunate, who strayed, lost or stolen who
hide from shame caught in misadventure
Indeed, the think of it, the more we
favor it, and the police have our finger print
any time. We would like them to get us be-
fore some two-wheel corner-turner does.

Words Derived from Devil.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
"A few days since an article ap-
peared in the Open Court giving an
account Of the devil. II was very
instructive as far as IT went, but
II did not show what there Is in
this letter.
The devil Isl horrid being to
think of. and yet he was not always
a fallen angel. However, when he
fell from righteousness and was
given his present name, indicating
the sort Of mischievous being that
he is. few, II any other mage could
have been selected for him that
would show his real character as
well.
If the letters which compose the
name be So used as to form other
words with them. 1t would surprise

cover the words of Ill repyte that

Airman for the Air Service

c ECRETARY Weeks is to be congratulated
y his choice of Gen. Mason NJ. Patrick as
chief of, the Army Air Service. No one would
think of putting doctor in charge of engineer
ing. engineer in charge of tie medical
service. 1t quite much useless disturb
ance, to start a movement that Secretary Weeks
should put trained and experienced aeronaut in
charge of army aviation. He probably never
had any other intention.
Gen. Patrick head of the air service in
France. His promotion is another evidence of
preference to members of the A. E. F. who had
the experience of actual warfare, and bodies well
for the efficiency of what is left of the army. He
organized the service there. He was in con-
troll of the training fields through which all our
flyers passed. He responsible not alone for
the personnel, but for machines, equipment and
supplies as we'll as the fields He had under him
$1,000 and all the factors of air observation
and offense.
If the airpane is to fulfill the dream of its
disciples, it will have the chance. If its use is to
be developed as a main arm, of defense, the
effectiveness and efficiency of this dependence can
be safely entrusted to such man. If Congress
gives this service the prominence it should have,
and which it has in other countries, the respon-
sibility will be safely placed, and results will
be secured without wasteage.

around the table, she will be there But
she will be on the table, rather than at the table
She will occupy the role of chief subject for
operation The discussions will center around
her future and as to this she will have the least
OF all to say; the least influence, and the least
attention.
" Yet this will not be the most striking feature
OF the conference. Indeed it will not be novel in
that respect So far as history discloses, there
has been a gathering of great nations that
there has not been a subject for vivisection on
the table. What makes this unique is that the
purpose of the conference is not vivisecton, but
remedial surgery. 1t is the subject at

How little China has to say as to her own
affairs, is further indicated by the protest which
comes from the southern half. 1t is there that
Sun Vat Sen has set up government at Canton

China. DR.. Sun has under his organization
fully half the total population of the country. He
claims have the only legally and constitutionally
constituted government. But he has not been
.ecognized by any of the powers who will be
represented in Washington.
Only the Peking government which DIR. Sun
calls usurper, representative not of the Chinese
but of Japan, OF which it is but puppet hireling,
will be officially present to watch the proceed
ings. The Doctor therefore, announces that China
being there only in name and as a map none
OF the conclusions reached will bind the Chinese
by which he means South China and all the
other provinces he annex during the confer
period As fact, it would not be sur
prising, if the meeting is long drawn out, that
Pcking might fall in the meanwhile leaving China
here only a shade
But why worry 1t is not what China might
demand which will be the subject for settle

central free employment agency. where every man
out of work could register. This should co-oper-
ate with the Associated Charities and the Sal

licty which all newspapers would gladly provide.

every possible job and to phone the central en-
ployment agency, which would supply the work.
ers AT this season of the year there are many
odds and ends OF, work which will keep man
busy for day two at time, around dwellings
and Offices, preparatory for winter. All of this
should go to the unemployed.
This, of course, would but scratch the surface,
but it is far better to use dollar or few
dollars in pay for work, than the amount
to provide bread line. A man who earns his
meals and lodging, preserves his most valuable
possession-his sef-respect. When compelled to
sacrifice this, not only he. but his community has
lost what it will take long to replace.
