LEAGUE AUTHORITY
( UPHELD BY JURISTS
international Special Committee,
However, Neglects Question
Of Force.
CAUSE OF DISSENSION
Uruguayan and Swedish Delegates
Express Dissatisfaction.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, March 1.-THE authority
of the league of nations to bring its
machinery to bear for the peacefu
settlement of international disputes
was upheld yesterday in a report of
The special committee of international
;urists, which was accented by the
souncil of the league.
But the jurists did not categorically
answer the particular question
whether resorting to force as means
of obtaining satisfaction violates the
covenant of the league Of nations.
because of this the delegates of Uru-
quay and Sweden expressed dissatls-
Faction. This question. like four 9TH
FRS submitted to the jurists was the
Uutgrowth Of the Italian occupation
Of the Island of Corfu dp:ing the con-
tlict between Italy and Greece and
the subsequent crisis in the league,
when the Italians questioned the COM
potency of the council of the league
10 intervene under the terms of the
I covenant.
Italy's Pride.
The general opinion was expressed
au Geneva that n categorical affrma-
tive answer that coercive measures
which was not intended as acts of war
ere inconsistent with the covenant
would have so wounded Italian prid
that it might have caused Italy t.
leave the league of nations. The jur-
lists, however, unqualifiedly decided
that the council of the league has the
tight to decide Immediately whether
eocrctve measures should maintain or
be withdrawn.
On all other questions the jurists
Fecisively upheld the prestige of the
league; and even Signor GUAM, Uru-
quay, who disliked the views of the
Jrirists on the question of the use of
force. expressed the opinion that, as
& whole, they presented interpreta-
tionS of the covenant which would
permit the council in the future to
bers of the league, thus guaranteeing
world peace.
Decision ON Disputes.
The jurists declared definitely that
the council was not bound to decide
whether a dispute which was sub
rupture; that the council may a all
times estimate by itself the gravity
OF a dispute and determine its action
accordingly. The jurists held that
when a dispute already formed the
subject of arbitration the council
must refuse any application to con-
slider the conflict involved. As to the
responsibility of a state when a po-
titical crime is committed within it's
territory, the juriStS held the state
responsible if it neglected to take
Rll reasonable measures for the pre-
vention Of the crime and for the
pursuit, arrest and trial of the GRIM
inals. 1t was declared that states
must employ special vigilance for the
rrotection of foreigners.
League leaders emphasized the in
ternational Importance of the decla-
rations of the jurists with regard to
the competence Of the council of the
ieaguee to act under article Is.
Stripped of legal phraseology, the
answer of the jurists was, in effect,
that disputes based on matters which
concern internal Legislation are the
only conflicts in which the council
cannot act.

TWO GREAT AMERICANS
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

1t is coincidence that the two greatest Ameri-
cans were both born in February, the shortest
month of the year. We celebrate the birthday
of Washington and Lincoln.
Washington made our nation, and Lincoln pre-
served it during its time Of bitterest trial.
It is interesting that, as the years have passed,
we have come to honor more Lincoln, the Com
moner, than, Washington, the Aristocrat. LIN
coin better typifies, today our American hopes
and ideals Washington was a splendid figure
in his time, unquestionably one of the greatest
in all history; but America has changed much
in the last hundred years, and today the man who
has fought his way to prominence and leader
ship from humble beginnings is more typlcally
American than the man "born to the purple
Lincoln is American to the core. How many
men today have, like him, won success from
humble beginnings?
Both Washington and Lincoln found our gov
ernment worth fighting and suffering for Its
laws provide remedies for wrongs, and it's courts
execute the laws swiftly and justly-though not
always as swiftly, perhaps, as might be desired.
That is condition that is within our own powers
to remedy.
Let us stand firmly by the principles Of Wa
shington and Lincoln today they affirmed
them in the past. They are our safest guide.

THE PASSING OF WOODROW WILSON

The place Of Woodrow Wilson in history is
fixed. His name is destined to occupy con-
spicuous page in the annual of his country. He
was easily Of the outstanding figures in the
great World war The service which he rendered
in this great drama of blood and iron is matter
for future historians adequately to set forth AS
an ideast he will continue to hold foremost
place among the great statesmen Of his genera
tion The crowning achievement of his life failed
of it's full accomplishment largely through his
own inexorabe devotion to his idealism. But the
League of Nations, for which he probably gave
his life will ever remain as a monument to his
memory. Like most great men, he had his faults,
but these faults do not obscure his great contrl-
buttons to his country and the world in the
masterful manner in which he conducted the
nations affairs in the time Of the worlds sorest
trials There is no denying the fact that Wood
row Wilson has enshrined himself in the hearts
of great multitudes Of his fellow countrymen
and established himself in the high estimation
of the peoples of all the nations of the world.
The news of Woodrow Wilson's death was the
occasion for universal expression OF respect Tor
him as man and appreciation of his great serv-
ices in the cause of humanity.

Stevens roared
Stepped Out of Beaten Path.
Seward, who had for years toiled to
subordinate Lincoln, finally wrote to
his wife: Executive skill and vigor
are rare qualities The President is
the best of u.s."
On July 80, 1863, Lincoln issued a
public letter, designed especially for
the soldiers and sympathizers of the
Confederacy:
1T is the duty of every govern
ment to give protection to its citi-
zens and especially those who are
organized as soldiers in the public
service 1t is, therefore, ordered
that for every soldier of the United
States killed in violation of the
laws of war, rebel soldier shall
be executed; and for every one en-
slaved or sold into slavery, a rebel
soldier shall be placed at hard
labor on the public works"
Promised Glory for All Officials.
1 look upon this order as the least
representative sentence in Lincoln's
entire life story and doubtless it was
inspired by the usages of war and came
as a cabinet measure.
Another message to his cabinet
shows how he guided them and con-
stantly reminded them of broad patri-
OtiSm. It reads:
1T will require the utmost skill,
influence and sagacity of all Of us
to save the republic. Let us for
get ourselves and join hands like
brothers to save the republic. Ii
we succeed there will be glory
enough for all"
And Stanton, who, in the early days
of the Civil war, said, Lincoln is
fool, a low, cunning clown. The
original gorilla Du Chaillu, the nat
uralist, wandered all the way to Africa
in search of when he might have found
it in Springfield, Ill.," later said when
Lincoln was assassinated Lincoln Is
the most perfect ruler of men the world
has ever seen."

Lincoln Was Not
So Mild and Meek
Great Liberator Could Bare
Teeth and Fight When
Necessary
BY PROF. 3. J. cIGRAND, in Chicago
EVENING American

Evening American.
There is a tendency i'll recent writ
ings to picture Lincoln so mild and
meek that his red-bloodedness and his
emphatic methods of rebuke are lost
and the real value of the giant among
men is destroyed.
Several recent biographies and many
orations and magazine articles of late
years have given the impression that
Lincoln was not master Of his cabinet
1t is said he often laughed and told
stories when his serious opinion was
needed
If any president endured intrigue at
the cabinet board, Lincoln did. Not
single other man who ever sat in the
presidential chair would have per-
mitted the bold, personal campaigning
of his personal associates.
But Lincoln seemed to let these men
go on, gradually disclosing not only
to himself but the public their selfish
personal ambitions and then at the
right time and in an inimitable way he
would grab the official by the coat
collar and bring him back to the
straight and narrow path of Lincoln
ideas.
Lincoln's manner of dealing with
men was entirely different from that
of any other president.
He even ran after" General Nc
C1ellan and permitted offensive CORE
spondence and no end of 'slights" to
come to light. But Lincoln, like an
indulgent father, could when the
proper moment came, call halt and
take some of the officials ''in the wood
shed and dust their trousers"
UItimatum to 'Plotters.
To show he was not lntimidated, I
give a copy of letter which he read
at a cabinet meeting during the time
when Stanton. Chase and Seward were
secretly condemning one another and
suggesting removals so that they might
all the better conduct their campaign
to prevent Lincoln's reelection and seat
| themselves.
The letter reads:
81 must be the judge how long to
retain In, and when to remove any
of you from his position. 1t would
greatly pain me to discover any of
you endeavoring to procure an
others removal, or, in any way, to
prejudice him before the public.
Such endeavor would be a wrong
to me and much worse wrong to
the country. My wish is that on
this subject no remark be made,
nor question asked by any of you,
here or elsewhere, now or here
| after"
One day early in Lincoln's admins
tration, Mrs. Lincoln said to him:
at is common rumor about the cap
ital that Seward and not you will be
the president-that he will rule you"
He replied:
81 may not rule myself, but certain
J ly Seward shall not. The only ruler
I have is my conscience, following God
in it, and these men will have to learn
that yet"
At another time Lincoln was visited
by a congressional committee headed
by Thad Stevens, who burst in on Lin
coin with the accusation:
1.-THE way you are running this coun-
try is causing it to be approaching hell,
and very fast"
Lincoln asked: About how far from
that place are we nOw?'
Stevens sharply replied: II would
gay about mile"
Lincoln smiled and reniied: About

is BOK's PEACE PLAN WORTH 100000?

The award of the Box prize has been favorably
received by those who favor American partici-
patton in the League of Nations. 1t has been,
to many others, bitter disappointment, and to
the firm anti-Leaguers either matter for ridi-
cule or denunciation
The reception of the plan by Congress appears
on the whole to have been distinctly unfavorable.
There is strong tendency to regard it as pro

SPEND IT IN WINSLOW

Prices are as usual, lower than big-city prices
Your home town merchant is selling the merch-
andise that he cannot afford to carry at prices
that you CAN afford to pay. It is up to you,
the buyer, to support him, not in spirit of giving
him something, but in the spirit of contributing
to your mutual welfare.
Individual prosperity is in no small measure
dependent on merchant prosperity, and vice
versa. Buy what you need now, buy all you need
and-be sure you buy it in Winslow.
Don't forget that Germany held out against the
rest of the world in the great war for so long
time only because she spent ALL her money at
