GROUP PLAN is
PEACE SCHEME
OF PRESIDENT
Nations to Be Divided Into
Four Glasses on Basis of
Location.
MUST DISCARD LEAGUE
a. wIIIIAI JENNINGs BRYAN.

By WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-Although the
conference has been in session Tor more
than five weeks, no outward progress mas
been made toward the establishment OF .
permanent tribunal for consideration u
the questions that may arise from time 10
time between nations.
1t was taken for granted that the Pres
i6eut would not favor any plan that
would take the United States into the
League of Nations as il exists Some
thought that he might be willing 10 ac-
cept the organization under new name
aud with changes made in the covenant
10 suit the reservations adopted by the
United States Senate.
As time went on ii became evident that
the President and his advisers would pre-
fer a new organization quite different In
its general plan from the league.
1t was intimated that the court OF arbl-
tratlon would be given a larger jurisdie-
ton. that a certain code Of international
law would be agreed upon and commits
sion OF inquiry established for the con-
sideration Of disputes which cannot he
submitted to arbitration are settled by
the application OF specific rules The four
power agreement was pointed 10 as an
illustration Of the general principle that
would be followed.
NEW PLAN
OF COOPERATION.
Now. however, it has leaked out that
3 Incorporation is being planned upon quite
, a different line.
Instead of one League Of Nations made
I'D of repre- sentatives Of the govern
ments, the nations will be divided into
four groups, each group representing
geographical area. One will Include al
Of the governments in the Western HeInl
sphere: another all the countries in Flu
rope: a third all the countries IN Asia
and a fourth will be made up Of Pa
.ciEc group. The world IS not so much
interested in any particular plan. but in
ternational peace requires some plan.
There is a great deal 10 be said II
favor Of the group plan. All the mem
bers Of a group would have an interest
in every question coming before the trlo
une. II the league included all the nj
tions in the world. many Of tns disputes
would be local and OF little IL teres' 10 re-
mote governments. All of the delegates
who had a voice IN the settlement & dis
putes would be more or less closely con
nected with the subject matter. The
group system would especially comm END
itself TO that portion Of the American
public which looks with suspicion upoI
American interference in European af
fairs and is jealous Of European inter
ference In American politics.
On the other hand the group system
has the weakness OF excluding disinter-
ested nations whose counsel might be
valuable to harmonic the conflict be
tween the interests Of nations immedi-
ately connected with dispute. However
nothing will be done In a hurry: The
merits OF the different plans can he com.
pared when formally presented. The con.
ference will not be a complete success:
unless it brings forth some continuing
tribunal.-Copyright 1921, By United
Press.

DR.. BARTON'S
DAMYLETTER
BY DIR. WILLIAM E. BARTON.

It has been a dictum of political
history that Revolutions never roll
backward" Perhaps not. But the
forward rolling Of a revolution inev-
itably brings with it elements OF
reaction, aid these sooner OF Later set
their wheels revolving within Wheels
July IS a g:alt month for freedom.
There are three notable annivelsa-
ries, ten days apart-July 4, IA, and
"a. Each of them stands for a birth
of free government.
July "a is the date of the birth Of
freedom in Turkey, or Of what prom
ised to be freedom. A constitutional
government was adopted in Turkey,
July "a, 1908. On that day the
Young Turks" came to power.
Perhaps it had been better if the
old Turkey which everybody knew
to be cruel and corrupt, had CON
tinued until the World War, and then
gone down TO its doom.
There might possibly have risen
out of it the hope of a new Turkey.
But if the light that is in a national
hope is darkness, how great is that
darkness!
The young Turks, 50 far as we
were able to discover, in the World
War were just as cruel and just as
corrupt as the old Turks, with the
added disadvantage that they were
young, and there was no one else to
look to for better things.
Perhaps revolutions never roll
backward; perhaps it should rather
be said that revolutions always roll
backward.
At any rate, it should be said that
every moment of people toward
freedom is attended by perils of il
cense and extravaganza, and also
by those of reaction.
Americans who love their country
and who remember the significance
of July 4, may now and then think
with profit of the significance and the
warning of July IA and "a.
Each of these ten days intervals
has its lesson.

How To Remove Easily


How To Remove Easily
Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of reliable concern that
it will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles; while if it does
give you a clear complexion the ex-
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce Of Othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this
strength is sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to reno,

ICE, the gift of Nature-in the
North. You make think it's only
recently that man learned to cut it
in winter and store it away in saw
dust which, insulating, keeps out the
heat and prevents thawing.
Yet as far back as the days Of Nero
Roman slaves packed snow in under
ground pits, pounding it into ice for
summer use
Dealers in ice and packed snow
were common in France $50 years
ago.
In 1899, ice cut from a pond in
New York City was shipped by boat
to Charleston, S. C. That was the
beginning of great ice export bust
ness.
In those days, artificial ice was not
commercially practicable. Scientists
had experimental for centuries to
produce low temperatures artiffcially.
but the first American patent for
making artificial ice was not taken
out until l834-by John Gorrie, a
doctor in Apalachicola, Fla.
