The world has largely recovered
from the mischief that Napoleon did ;
perhaps that amount Of mischief had

his career or some such career, was
a necessary consequence OF the worlds
mental unpreparedness for the crisis

culiar personality should dominate the
imagiDatiOns OF great numbers Of PEG

during significance 10 our human

Marat was far more noble, per

Talleyrand a greater statesman and
much more amusing personality,

something more IN II than that. There
Is an appeal In Napoleon to something
deeper and more fundamental In hu-

INTERNATIONAL POLICE
FORCE NECESSARY
c. E. Burchenal Tells Women
Voters Only Assurance OF
World Peace.

An international court TO which an
International navy, acting as a police
force. can require offending nations
to go to settles their disputes. and an
international ARMY to see that the
mandates of the court are obeyed are
tho only definite means by which per-
manent peace can be reached. in the
opinion of Caleb L. Burchenal who
addressed the open meeting of the
League of Women Voters, last night
He reminded the women t&at the
vote was sacred trust and that as
women had gained it just at a time
when everyone loathes war, they must
use the opportunity to strike a blow
at the hideous monster. He praised
the administration for calling the
conference. but said that this was
merely the beginning Of the reduction
/ of armament for economic reasons.
/ Mr.. Burchenal was optimistic Of the
outcome of the conference Ms ii had
been suggested by ministers of Protes-
tant. Jewish and Catholic churches
and had not neglected God. Now also
is the first time m the worlds history
that the war lords have had their way
and failed and those who love peace
are being heard. He suggested that
the great welfare organizations, such
as the Red Cross. y. NJ. c. a., etc.
which are international, are doing
much TO bring about friendship be-
tween nations.
THE United States is the center OF
world interest today" said Mr.. Burch-
email. This BODIES well for peace be-
cause Americans are peace loving
people" He also emphasized tn,
capacity of the United States for max
ing friends among the nations, citing
China, Peru, Brazil. Canada, ant
> England as examples Of nations tina
trust and respect the United Safe!
because OF her friendly and just at
, titude.
After speaking Of the waste of war
Mr.. Burchenai urged his hearers I,
do their duty in this greatest of age
so that they might pass on to thei
sons peaceful world in which to live
rather than, war stricken world il
which TO die.
| Before the address. busines
meeting was held. A nominatin,
committee was appointed TO prepar
list of candidates fer the meetin,
the third Thursday in January, whel
election of officers will be held.
