Arguments FOR See Power.

Practically every argument that
was adduced by the French was also
put forward by the British. There
was the argument OF special risk;

And Just az Leon bourgeois
argued for the French that IL the
guarantee of the League OF Nations
was accepted, as substitute for
armament in securing the safety OF
France, a permanent military or

be a necessary feature OF the
League, so the British Admiralty
envisaged a possible League naval

Indeed, II is possible to quote
President Wilson himself as sup

address at st. Louis. Feb. 8. 1916:
There is no other navy in the
world that has to cover so great an
area of defense as the American
navy, and 1t ought, in my Judgment,

He recognized as clearly in the

or Great Britain that security was
fundamental, and that il the sense
OF security that rested upon arma-

British Policy at Paris.

Thus IL was, that while the CEN
tral policy OF the French was to
struggle desperately at Paris for
more power. more security, and
even more rather than less military
armament, thereby bringing all the
problems OF compulsory military
service private manufacture OF war
munitions and the like strongly into
the foreground. the central policy Of
the British was 10 preserve the
status quo. The French (and the
ltslians) had something TO get at
the Peace Conference. while the
British (and the Japanesel had only
something 10 keep. The French felt
their weakness, their potential in
feriority at Paris; the British knew
their power, and they acted 20 per-
lection according 10 the traditional
British diplomatic policy: Wait
and see"
While the chief interest Of the
french-then and since-was their
own safety rather than reparations
or future commercial expansion. the
chief interest Of the British was TO
make sure OF the new access 10 raw
materials, the new trade routes. the
new colonies. which were already
practically IN their possession. and

sSihility OF a conflict between Great
Britain and the United States was
remote, not merely for reasons OF
sentiment, which were powerful. but
because both had plenty OF room in

SPRAlNS MAY BE SERIOUS
Should Never Be Taken Lightly, but
Have the Most Careful Attention
at once.

Sprains and strains as class are
injuries which cause little concern
and, consequently. to which little at
tention is paid. The result is, accord
ing to the medical correspondent Vt
the London Times, that n great deal
of disability is caused which need not
have occurred at all. He tells how TO
avoid much of this and gives explana-
tons which rob sprains Of some Of
their mystery.
Sprains are not by any means so
trivial as they are usually supposed
to be- Some of them are not "sprains"
at all, but slight dislocatiOns, and it is
by knowledge of this fact that So
called bloOdless surgeons acquire their
reputation. A return Of the members
to their correct position often ends
the pain and discomfort Of these &C.
cidents.
Again, some sprains are fractures.
The bones may not have been sep
arated, and so the fact that a break
has occurred is overlooked. Not until
permanent damage has been done is
professional help called in.
Finally, there are cases in which
fibers of ligaments-l. e., the binding
material forming the hinges of joint
or the means of fixation of a muscle
tendon to a bone-have been torn
asunder. These cases may prove ex-
ceedingly troublesome, and If not at
tended to may result in permanent
weakness.
1t is a good and safe rule to call In
a doctor, says the writer, when any
severe or even moderately severe
sprain has been encountered. BY this
means the calamities attending neg
lect Of serious injury are avoided.

Good Qualities Of Wood.

Trees grow, therefore wood is cheap
er than metals. 1t Is easily worked
with tools into desired shapes and
sizes. 1t is held securely.by nails and
by glue. 1t is practically permanent
when protected by paint; under water
or In the ground it outlasts metal.
Its strength and lightness make 1t
easy to handle. 1t Is nOn-cOnductor
Of heat and electricity. Many woods
are marked by patterns Of infinite
variety and beauty, whose very ir-
regularities constitute an abiding
charm. To this is added a fine blend
ing Of colors and lustre when polish
ed that gives wood place in the
decorative art that can be taken by no
other substance.
