city with a half dozen particles OF

flesh. Unless the needle points are
removed from his arms and body. the

latiOn to the inundated islands.

For the United States to enter

the election of 1920 to advocate an
alliance with Great Britain. The
people would not tolerate an alliance
with either France or japan. Yet
the proposed treaty makes US the
ally Of each Of these countries and
morally insures our participation in
every possible conflict which may
arise in the Pacific involving the
interests of any of them.
