CECIL SAYS LEAGUE
| N|PPED NEW WARS
Forces More Serious Than
Those Causing World Con-
& flict Quietly Settled.
Ny the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. April 17.-Forces moro
world war and other European conflicts
have been quietly settled and the possi-
Hlity of a return Of general armed con-
ffict Is removed by the league OF nations
since it began mediation among world
affairs, Lord Robert Cecil declared here
before a crowd which filled Orchestra
Hall and applauded repeatedly the
speakers reference to the league and
the work It had accomplished.
The applause he brought forth At the
outset Of his address when he declared
that war Is wicked and horrible
thing" required when, after outlining
the losses in men and money during the
%orld war, he declared that the nation
wide demand for peace in England was
the reason in that country for the sup
port Of the league.
Three Of Four Settled.
OF four international disputes put be-
FIRE the league for settlement, In three
cases complete settlement of the dim
guilty was made while the fourth. the
dispute between Lithuania and Poland
over wilma, was not agreeable to either
party and was not accepted, Lord Cecil
said.
THE league has rescued Austria
from financial chaos which threatened
the peace OF that part of the world.
rfscued 1t by as fine an exhibition Of
disinterested International statesman
ship as has ever been seen in the his
tpry Of the world" he said.
s"But that Is the least part of what
ft has DONE" he continued. 1T has
rescued half a million prisoners OF
War; fought against diseases coming
from the east; taken a real step for
ward for the suppression Of the
opium traffic and the traffic in other
dangers; brought into operation and
cooperation a real mass of nations
ID order to extirpate that blot on our
olvilization-traffic in women and
children.
s"It has the means to facilitate
Communication between the nations,
to smooth over the lesser but still
important financial and economic diff
fculties which separate, to lay down
the principle Of economic restoration
in Europe. and above all. it is en-
gagged now in a hurculean task, that
OF finding some really effective meth
Cd of achieving. of completing that
work so well begun at Washington
the reduction Of armamentS through
oNt the world"
1--WE in England believe that we
cannot go on in the old way: that
we have got to bring into Europe and
Into International affairs a new spirit;
that 1t is not enough merely to pro-
vide means for the settlement of dis
pltes when they arise; we must seek
to take away the predisposing cause
q war"
Coming to Warrington.
Following his address Lord Cecil
left the hall with friends for Hull
House, where he was to renew ac-
quaintance with Jane Adams a
friend of many years, and dine at the
settlement house. He was to leave
on night train for Cincinnati, where
he is to make MONDAY address to-
morrow.
From there he will proceed to
Louisville, KY, for an address to-
morrow night and thence to Rich
mond, Va: Washington. D. c.: New

Bilbo, former governor OF Mississippi.
and central figure in the states

Lafayette county jail here serving
thirty days for contempt of court.
Federal Judge Edwin r.. Holmes SEN
fenced the former executive yester-
day after he admitted he disregarded
q summons to appear as a witness in
the celebrated Russell -Birkhead case
last fall.
Mr.. Bilbo was expected to be the
star witness for the plaintiff. Miss
Frances Birkhead Of New Orleans. in
of Mississippi. Miss Birkhead charged
seduction and asked for 100000 dam
ages. A jury found for the defend
ant.
In his cozy quarters. vacated by the
tatlor and his family for the prison
er's use, Mr.. Bilbo last night smoked
a cigar, received his friends and
wrote letters. The door was unlocked
and the windows without bars. All
evidences of physical restraint had
been eliminated.
THE courts orders should be
obeyed, no matter who goes to Jail"
remarked the prisoner. Let me ex-
press the hope that my fate will have
tendency to inspire more whole
some respect for the authority of the
courts. II IL will. my few days In
Jail Is not altogether in vain"
A fine OF 500 additional was i'm
posed as a penalty by Judge Holmes

Dear Miss Dol

Dear Miss Brooks
1 feel rather bashful. but in reading
your corner l saw a song which 1 knew.
There are one or two lines 1 don't
know whether I can supply or not. I
have two questions 1 would like to ask.
ID If three girls were after the same
boy and he didn't like any Of them what
would you advise the girls to do? (2)
l want to learn to dance and am very
bashful. h would you advise me to
do? Yours truly.

Right glad l am that you overcame
your bashfulness enough to write to
me and send the song. Thank you
much for copying 1t. Three girls after

not prove the theory that this revers-
ing the natural order of this sort of
things tends to drive the object of your
attentions further from you? This
young man does not ask what he should
do, but asks advice for the girls. All
he asks is to be allowed the right which
naturally seems to have been accorded
him-that of making overtures to the
girl he admires-and the more difficult
II Is to gain her attention the more he
admires and pursues. My advice to the
girls. young man, would be to let you
be at peace and turn their attention to

their method of gaining a boys atten-
tion than you are, or better still Gull
a disposition to let the BOYS

surest way to overcome this is to say

Dear Miss Brooks:
l have been reading Between You
and Me" for sometime and find the an
swers satisfactory. % Is 1t alright for
a girl IL years of age and a boy 10 to
walk to and from school together, a
distance of two blocks? (2) There is
a boy in our crowd that acts soft"
around the girls. We have tried to
make him stop but he won't. What
shall we tell him? Wishing you success
In your work, 1 remain
SUNSHINE, idaho.
G) The only harm which could pos
sioly come from this simple diversion.
dear, would be what your school
mates would say; such as calling you
"sweethearts." etc. all such things hav-
ing a tendency to detract interest and
mind from chool work. Boys should
form a very small part in the interests
of girls of IL years. and my advice con-
corning the soft" boy would be to
.ostracize him from your crowd until
such time as he comes to his senses
and learns how to act.
