the Council of Ambassadors in the re-
cent situation? 1t could not act in such
capacity without violating the articles
of its creation; the theory of its posses
sion of independent power or authority
still exists, despite the demonstrated fall
laciousness of that theory.
No; the member nations. no less than
non-member nations, will want to partic-
ipate directly, on their own accounts
and frankly for their respective interests.
in any conference that may be held to
settle disputes affecting them. When
a proposition is made by the representa-
tive of any nation, the other attending
nations will want to be assured that such
proposition comes directly from the gov
eminent making it. Any agreement thus
reached will be an agreement indeed
not merely a maybe-so one that has
been arrived at by irresponsible zealots
and that will have to ruin the. gauntlet OF
criticism and suspicion when it comes
up for consideration by the home gov
ernments.
So, the settlement OF the Graeco-Italian
dispute by the Council of Ambassadors
saves" the League of Nations merely
in nominal way. Hereafter the League
will be more of figurehead in world
affairs than it was before it refused to

cipal function assigned to it by its

shed it. Would such saw be depended
upon to cut equally knotty logs in the

Bess had followed the trail through
the snow clear to the dark edge o
the woods when the sound of voice.
behind her caused her to turn. Neither
Doomsdorf nor Knutsen had sponkI
loudly. Indeed, their tones had beer
more subdued than usuel, as is Otter
the way when men speak, in moment:
of absolute test. Bess had not madt
out the words; only the deep silence
and the movements Of the wind from
the sea enabled her to hear the voices
at all. Thus it was curious that she
whirled, face blanching, in knowledge
of the impending crisis.
Thereafter the drama on the shore
seemed to her as something that
could not possibly be true.
Except for the fact that Dooms-
dorf stood alone ON the shore, II
might have been all the factless in
cident of a tragic dream.
Slowly she stiffened, rallying, her
faculties, fighting off the apathy OF
terror. Presently the whole con-
seriousness seemed to. sharpen. Ii
an instant of clear thought she
guessed, broadly, the truth of that
! tragedy beside the sea; that knutsen
had died in a desperate attempt to
break free from an unspekable trap
into which he and his charges had
fallen.
1t meant she must work quick.
She must not lose a single chance.
The odds were desperately long al
ready; she must not increase them.
In an instant more Doomsdorf would
be glancing about to see if his crime
were observed. If she could conceal
the fact that she had witnessed it,
he would not be so much ON guard
in the moment of crisis that was to
come. Her body and soul seemed to
rally to mighty effort. ~
She wds already at the edge of the
timber. STOPPING down, she made
one leap into its shelter. She was
none too soon; already DOomsdorf
had looked back to see if the. coast
were clear.
Everything depended on Ned,
henceforth. She couldn't work
alone. With his aid, perhaps, they
Could destroy this evil power under
which they had fallen before it could
prepare to meet them. Doomsdorf's
cabin-a long log structure on the
bank of dark little stream - was
only a hundred feet distant in the
wood. Now that she was out of
sight of the shore, she broke into o.
frenzied run.

UNGARDED GATES


Wide open and unguarded stand our gates.
Named of the four Winds North. South, East
and West:
Portals that lead to an enchanted land
OF cities, forests, fields living gold,
Vast praries, lordy SUBMITS touched with snow,
Majestic rivers sweeping proudly past
The Arabs date-palm and the Norsemans pine
A realm wherein are fruits of every zone.
Airs of all cimes, for 10 throughout The year
A later Eden planted in the wilds
With not an inch of earth within its bound
But if slaves foot press it sets him free.
Here IL is written, Toll shall have its wage, ~
And Honor honor, and the humblest man
Stand level with the highest in the law.
Of such a land have men in dungeons dreamed,
And with the vision Frightening IN their eyes
Gone smiling to the fagot and the sword.
Wide open and unguarded stand our gates,
And through them presses wild motley throng-
Men from the Volga and the Tartar steppes,
Featureless figures of the HoangHo.
Malayap. Scythian Teuton, Kelt and Slav,
Flying the Old Worlds poverty and scorn.
These bringing with them unknown gods and
Those tiger passions. here to stretch their claws
In street and alley what strange tongues are loud
Accents of menace alien to our air,
Voices that once the Tower of Babel knew.
o Liberty, white Goddess! iss it well
To leave the gates unguarded! On thy breast
Fold Sorrows children, soothe the hurts OF 1ate
Lift the down-trodden, but with hand of stee
Stay those who to thy sacred portals come
To waste the gifts of freedom. Have care
Lest from thy brow the clustered stars be tori
The thronging Goth and Vandal trampled Rome
And where the temples of the Caesars stood
A., The lean wolf unmolcsted made her lair.

A SUPERFICIAL EXHIBIT

| III might be put down as a genera
rule that people exhibit, when the op
portunity arises, the results of the ac
tivities in which they take the Creates
interest and pride. But unless some
rather broad exceptions be made tc
such a rule. its application to an exhibi,
ton to be held in Kansas City shortly
might afford not altogether compli
mentary commentary upon the activities
of present-day American women. To
save this event, as described in advance
by recent news item. from the posi-
bility of bearing an invidious signifi-
canoe for those of us who are. inclined
to be old-fashioned, it might be well
to assume that persons failure to ex-
hibit his achievements does not neces-
sarily indicate that he takes no pride
in them.
Entries in the National Women's Ac-
tivities Exhibit, which is to be held
under the auspices of the New York
League of Business and Professional
Women, are of many descriptions. Cen
orally speaking, however, they fall TN
der single .classification--if it be pos
sible to apply single word or phrase to
the many different kinds of animals,
wild and otherwise, that hundreds of
women from all parts OF the United
States are sending or taking to this
exhibit to represent the activities of the
gentler sex of this nation.
The manager of the SHOW" reports
that she has been vertically swamped
with applications for space for chow
dogs, cats, birds and the like. Is it
true that dogs, cats and birds fairly
represent the activities of the women
of America? No; there are to be other
animals in this exhibit. For example,
foxes. Yes, fox-raising has come to be
fright smart of" an industry among
American wonderland right in town. |
at that.
But perhaps the fox section consti-
tutes an exception to the general rule
indicated by the managers statement
that most of the applications were for
chow dogs, birds and cats. For some
of the foxes entered in the exhibit are
coming from fox farms conducted by
women for business purposes. SO nu-
iiNiOuo WIZ ouSh dPpliNdlioho, dhu OF 4
greatly in the majority were the would
be exhibitors of animals, that the man
ager thought it pertinent to announce
that the exhibit was to be neither a
Noall's Ark nor menagerie.
Comparatively few of the applicants
desired 10 represent, for exhibition pur-
poses the activities which old-fa shioned
folk like to associate With the women
of America. 1t may be consoling to
the old-fashioned to express the con-
viction that this does not signify an
utter passing of such activities. Perhaps
it means nothing more displeasing to
them than that public exhibits do not
appeal to the cooks, seamstresses; house
hold economists, educators and home
makers of the land; that they go about
their daily tasks quite content in their
of the fact that they are
doing their share of the vital work which
spells wholesome, progressive, sound
