the delay. Fortunately an effort is
being made by cur president at the
present time in sounding the nations
on the subject. England and France,
the papers assure US. have met the
call with a hearty response, and Il
il 10 be hoped all other countries
will do likewise. Every Christian
man and woman-eveiy lover of
peace will Join In a prayer that the
efforts for peace may be realized by
abolishing all war vessels and reduc-
ing armies 10 a force sufficient for
each nations home protection only.
What a paradise we might live in
with all nations living in peace and
brotherly love! Is IL too much Tn
be expected OF frail human nature?
See what good might be. accom-
plished. The billions OF dollars 10
maintain large fleets OF war vessels
and the large armies could be spent
in Ieaceful pursuits. With such a
state Of affairs every one could be
usefully employed Poverty and
soup houses would be unknown-aIl
the world happy and prosperous. Is
the idea utopian? Let Us hope for

And I'm not forever meeting with a

But with Mother it is different
there's no minute she is free
From the sight of things which tell
her of the JOY which used TO De.
She is brave and she is faithful, and

And a man can face his sorrow in a

The number of charter members required to or ganize a local High Twelve Club will be determined by the International, and will be based upon the various factors of the particular city where the club is to be organized. Mem bership in the local club will consist only of those men who have three or more degrees in Masonry and are in good standing at the time application is made MT. Mor11eiser said that while the club is not an official Ma sonic organization yet, it is composed of men who are bound together by the ties of Masonry.

KEOCH AFTER
 BANKRUPTS

Confirming a warning in these columns several days ago regarding unscruplous lawyers, and framed up "bankrupts'' it has come to light that Referee in Bankruptcy John Keogh, is in earnest in his determination to get after those who are declaring themselves bankrupt. when it might be possible Tor them to struggle without breaking faith with fellow business men. Lawyers who assist them into rather than around bank ruptcy are also coming in for plenty of attention
 This is made certain by the fact that Judge Keogh has laid details of several rather shady looking trans actions before Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty following a week end trip to Washington, flor busi- ness and pleasure.' Getting the Indian sign on some of these ''bank- rupts" could certainly be placed un- der the head of pleasure" More developments may be expected upon the return of Judge Keogh early this week.
