These great men then proceeded
10 outlaw the making Of poison gnf
and liquid fire and declared that
any nation caught using same In
any little war Of Us own should be
penalizod at least five points. That
settled everything and, after the
benediction, they all went home.
A few months later they decided
20 have the meeting all over again
and this time invite Russia and Ger
many and their allies. This meet

meantime, however, Russia and Ger
many had formed an alliance where
in Russia Is TO furnish Germany 20
war ships and maintain strong
army on the Polish frontier. Ger
many is to furnish poison gas and
liquid fire TO Russia and show her
how TO use IL. Both countries are
drawing Hungary, Bulgaria and Tur-
key into the alliance. Not being
permitted to occupy Utopia they de-
cided 10 organize little he'll Of I

About this time China broke
loose and today civil war Is raging
there. India threatens 70 overthrow I
the rule Of England. The war be-
tween Greece and Turkey continues.
Spain and her North African colo I

OF the ban placed on war BY those
great gentlemen mentioned above. ,

r..i cause Of Il all Is the mistrust
that exists between nationa. France
