they were telling about things that
never existed in the city.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS SOMETHING
LIKE BANCO'S GHOST.

We think we read recently in the papers, some
thing OF the nature OF message to congress by our
worthy president. in which it announced that
the League Of Nations was dead. He had remark
ed it several times before. during the fall cam
paign, but this last an official utterance, and
OF course. especially OF the League
draped their homes in mourning. But It appears now
that this official utterance somewhat pre-
mature; as Mark Twain would say-"greatly ex-
aggerated."
The various international commissions organized
under the League. among the members of which
are many Of the worlds leading statesmen and
scientists. functoning. Their activities repre-
sent the first serious, coordinated world effort TO
study possible find solutions of the many
great international problems An interesting idea
CT the present and forthcoming activities of the
League is given IN the calendar Of meetings just
published by the League secretariat at Geneva
During April a transit conference held at
barcelona the purpose OF deviaing ways and
means for arriving at better understanding
among the nations in respect of the important mat
ters OF communication and transportation.
The advisory board of the Leagues epidemic
commission at its Warsaw meeting continued its eff
forts stamp typhus epidemic in that Fart of
Europe and threatening to spread if not cOntroll-
ed.
The Polish Lithuanian delegates at Brussels
adjustment OF the many differences between these
nations
An Office has been established at Paris to handle
oil matters having to do with international public
hygiene. Connected with this Office the worlds
greatest experts this important subject.
League activities for May include a meeting OF
the temporary commission the reduction of
maments at Geneva; meeting OF the international
blockade commission; the second session of the
commission amendments TO the League covenant;
a meeting OF the opium advisory committee, which
is undertaking to put end to this vile traffic;
the first meeting of the temporary health commit
tee. which will undertake to formulate a code OF
health for the world.
Early in June the council of the League will meet
at Geneva and later in the month, the
place. Will be held meeting of the international
conference white slave traffic.
The international commission on emigration
meets Geneva August.
Finally. Sept. s. the opening session Of the
second assembly of the League will be held
Geneva.
At this meeting reports Of the many league COM
missions will be received, discussed and acted uron.
and further plans for international cooperation
formulated. II has yet be shown by those who
seon at the League useless thing that it is not
meeting its great obligation TO the peoples of the
world in intelligent and courageous way.

British, French. Belgian and American-he report
Cd to his government that the Americans were the
most uI-to-date the best-equipped and the best
looking military outfit of all the armies OF the
world"
That is high praise, considering the expertness ot
the For while the Swiss are not in any
of the word military nation. their citizen army
always ready defend the nations neutrality, has
for years challenged the worlds admiration
What the Swiss chief of staff says about the
American army the Rhine is borne out by the
reports Of other critical and disnterested observers
A commission from Holland expressed a similar
view and other nations have asked permission to
send commissions to look over the Americans
