PROPER LEAGUE ACTION.

The Council of tho League of Ma tions was presented with the matter of consideration of the question of mandates, in which the United States was interested.
 The United States Is not a member Of the League. Wisely the retiring president of the League Council rec ognized the significance of that fact.
 He recognized. also. the fact that the United States is represented by Ambassador Harvey on the Allied Supreme Council.
 For these reasons the retiring pres ident sent q note to the Allies asking that they reach an agreement with the United States. being in a poAtion to do SO. before the League takes action on the question.
 Thus in theory at least. the retir- ing president retained for the League the final word. after the practical re- suits shah have been accom- plished It is to be taken for granted that the decision reached between the Allies and the United States will be accepted by the Council of the League of Nations.
 With no desire to wave the Stars and Stripes boastfuliy, but rather in solemn recognition of the important position this country holds as the key which is expected to unlock the complicated tangle of world affairs. one may assert that this action is one more-perhaps the greatest-evi- dence of the conviction held by Euro pean governments that the co-opera- ton of the United States must be obtained at any cost. It is another proof Of the confidence which Europe places in the fairness of this country: in it's unselhshness. It is a recognition of the fact that the United States must have that which 1t demands be- cause it Is known across the water that those demands. in the matter of mandates as in others. will not be prompted by a desire for spofls of war. but only by the determination to have what Is rightfully due this country,
 Meanwhile there comes no indica- tion from Washington how we will take advantage of this stage. set for our entrance with all the evidence of tho prestige properly due the star of the cast.

THE LIMIT.

One of the easiest things in the world to do today is to preach long sermon on the text "wed in haste; repent at leisure" Easy is it also to diiate upon the divorce evil and to make many surmises as to what 1t is leading to.
 But possibly what is reported to have been an actual case happening in Chicago. will prove the best sort of an object lesson.
 A little woman brought a man into court alleging that he was her hus- band.
 Her first statement brings to light the bad results that may follow a filtration.
 We married" she said in effect following a clothes-line irritation"
 If the man were hanging out clothes it was presumably for some one else, which shows he had kind. domestic habits. but which shows also that he had no business flirting with a woman other than the one for whom he was hanging out the clothes.
 After hearing this statement, the judge pointed to the alleged husband and asked the woman if he was, in fact. her husband.
 Well. to tell you the truth" re- piled the woman who had said pre- viously that the man had lived with her but a few days and had then de parted taking many of her worldly possessions. " we lived together such short time that I never did get a good look at him."
 Discharged" remarked the judge.
 The real significance of the incident lies in the question 1t raises in the mind. Most women know their hus- bands appearance; most husbands know their wives by sight. But how many husbands. how many wives really know their life-partners, and how many divorces would there be if they did know them before marriage?
