will wipe out entire communities. No,
it is to be feared that this war will
be but a shadow beside the next.
Men will destroy themselves by
science. While II may seem to many
of you as being rather idealistic, let
us hope that sometime mankind VIII
come to see the light of world broth
erhood. Man has an host Of enemies
beside himself but by war he de-
stroys himself and helps these en-
emies. Harding's association OF ma
tions or Wilson's League OF Nations
can do nothing until nations are will
ing to learn and respect the rights OF
cC.er nations. Then will war be re-
placed by an International tribunal
which will uphold the right and have
power to police the world.
This is an extremely ideal hope,
| know, but 1t will come when the
time is ripe and great world figures
OF the character of Washington and
Franklin stand shoulder to shoulder
to better the condition Of the world.
In the early days, when the colonies
rebel,ed against the repression OF
Great Britain the people were not
united save by the efforts of a power
less Congress.
The Revolutionary war dragged on,
hopeessly, more because OF internal
strife than external Far sighted
men such as Franklin saw the need
OF union. The Constitutional con-
vention was finally held and a Con-
sutution drawn up and adopted very
much after the formula suggested by
Franklin. II seemed impossible to
accept IT, Each state felt that 1t
trangressed upon states rights. But
II was only too clear that the new
country was standing between the
devil and the deep blue sea,
The wisest course, though diff
cult and uncharted was taken. Time
has proven the wisdom of the step.
A United States of the world is no
more impossible and you men who
have participated in war, and those
who died in the hell of it all, have
not done so in vain, for the awful
fruitlessness Of II all is gradually
turning the minds OF mankind to
search for something higher and
more Godlike than allowing wrong
and its train Of evil to ravage the
world" lf

INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Small Daughter Of Mr. and Mrs.
Nichols Suffers Broken Arm

The six-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Marden X. Nichols is at
Putnam Memorial hospital with a
broken arm resulting from an auto.
mobile accident on Imperial avenue
Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. Nichols, the victim OF the ac-
cident and Mrs. Perry Eldred and
daughter were occupants of a Ford
car which attempted to descend the
hill shortly after l o'clock. The car
became unmanageable, either through
failure OF the brakes or some other
part of the mechanism, and in order
to avoid greater disaster Mr.. Mic
hols ran the machine into tele-

When the car struck the pole it
turned over and collapsed. The top
was up at the time and probably
saved the occupants from more SER
ious injuries. The Ford was thorough
ly wrecked.
