These plans come from every group
In American life. Some are obviously
from lifelong students OF history and
International law. Some are from per
sons who have studied little, but who
have themselves seen and felt the
horror OF war--or who are even now
living ont its tragedy.
But among them all are these dom
inant currents: that, if war is hon
estly to be prevented, there must be
face-about on the part of the nations
In their attitude toward it; that by
some progressive agreement the man.
ufacture and purchase of the muni
tions OF war must be limited or stop
ped; that while no political mechan-
ism alone will insure cooperation
among the nations, there must be
some machinery of cooperation IL the
will to cooperate is to be made effec-
tive; that mutual counsel among the
nations is the real hope for bringing
about the disavowal of war by the
open avowal of its real causes and
open discussion of them; and finally
thai theV must be some means OF
defining, recording. interpreting and
developins the law of nations.

The crest Of the greatest flood

Larry at Georgetown, and rendered
hundreds homeless.
The Chesapeake and Ohio canal
for q time threatened to overflow.
