the extension of activities. To this end

and the signing of the armistice. The
Legion has received a good deal OF
literature pertaining TO the Auxil-
iary, and papers have been distributed
among the members to secure the
names of those women who may care
to join II is hoped, and felt, that the
formation of an Auxiliary will serve
as a stimulus to male members, that
dances and other forms of entertain
ment will be more frequent. thereby
swelling the fund toward the purchase
of home for the post The objects
and purposes of the Auxiliary will be.
the same as of the Legion. that is. the
motto: For God and Country; to-
promote 100 percent Americanism.
and To help those who are less for
tunate than themselves
The Legion has arranged to hold d
special meeting at the State armory
on the evening of April &c, and it is
hoped there will be a large attendance
of ladies. so that the plans for the
organization Of the Auxiliary may be
perfected.

LANSING FLAYS LEAGUE
IN HIS PARIS DIARY
Instrument Of Mighty to Enthrall the
Weaker Nations, He Says
For First Time.

Washingtn, d c., Robert Lansing,
former Secretary Of State, until dis
missed by President Wilson for calling
meetings of the cabinet when his chief
was physically unable to do so, has
given his honest opinion Of the peace
treaty and league of nations covenant
as recorded in his diary in Paris and
lust published. He says:
1.-The terms of peace were yesterday
delivered to the German plenipaten-
tiaries, and for the first time in these
days of feverish rush of preparation
there is time to consider the treaty as
a complete document.
1.-THE impression made byt it is one
of disappointment, of regret and of de
preston. The terms of peace appear
UNNECESSARILY harsh and Illuminating
while many of them seem to me i'm
possible of performance.
1.-THE league Of nations created b!
the treaty is relied upon to preserv'
the artificial structure which has beef

erected by compromise of the conflict
ing interests of the Great Powers and
to prevent the termination of the
seeds of war which are sown In so
many articles and which under normal
conditions would soon bear fruit. The
league might as we'll attempt to pre-
vent the growth of plant life in trop-
ical jungle. Ware will come sooner or
later.
1T must be admitted in honesty that
the league Is an instrumentality of the
mighty to check the normal growth of
national power and national asplra-
tons among those who have been rem
dered impotent by defeat, Examine the
treaty and you will find peoples deliv-
cred against Their wi Ionic the hands
of those whom they hate, while theoI
economic resources are torn from
them and given to others. Resentment
and botterness, if not desperation, arr
bound to be the consequences of sucl
provisions. 1t may be years before
these oppressed peoples are able tt
throw off the yoke but as sure as da.
follows night the time will come whel
they will make the effort.

ut is true that to please the aroused

with halo and called 1t the league Of

ut is useless to close our eyes to
the fact that the power to compel
