THE WORLD COURT

Report comes that the Geneva
committee will recommend rejection
Of the fifth reservation stipulated by
US as prerequisite to our joining the
World Court; that in place Of this
we should be permitted to enjoy the
rights now permitted to the League
Council. To this some may say.
what more should we ask. In this
connection it Is of interest to read
what Senator Swanson recently said
on that subject. with which he is
recognized to be conversant:
1.-THE United States fifth reserva-
ton Is based on the idea that no
judgment or decree of the court or
an advisory opinion under the
statute Of the court could or should
be considered except by consent OF
the nations interested.
'Fifty-five nations accepting the
League Covenant have agreed that
the Council, acting for them. should
ask for advisory opinions, thus leav-
ing their rights to their agent, the
Council, which can ask or refuse to
ask as it sees At and proper.
"All the United States Is asking
Is, as 1t Is not a member Of the
League and cannot have the Council
act as its agent, that the United
States should have the same power
as the other f1fty-five states have
given their agent. This would not
affect the situation Of League mem
bers, as they have already consented
under the Covenant to the Councils
acts.
1.-THE reservation simply places the
United States on an equality with
other nations in giving its assent or
dissent in another method than that
which the Council provides for
themselves"
Such a method. It appears, is not
likely to meet with the approval OF
the League. For some reason they at
tach great Importance to this feature
Of advisory opinions from the Court.
The United States does not seem to
be in need Of such opinions. 1t
would make use of the court as a
court rather than as an adviser. We
may have to get along without

Housewoxk
I am very tired Of housework.
There 10 so much to do!
I long for something different;
Something entirely new.
The duties of the kitchen,
The parlor and the loft,
All have to be done over
Full many a time and OFT.
O., the dreary, weary housework
That comes with every day,
Brings US new cares and duties
With no time left for play!
How can We learn to like 1t
For years and years together,
With so little to enliven
Through every stage Of weather!
o, the never-ending housework,
For me you have no charm,
Each day brings scanty sunshine
To housework on the farm!
Hope whispers, I'VE may change this
And make drudgery divine.
II to our work we add new zest,
With love and patience to refine"
So, though I'm not fond Of housework
And still long for something new
To make my life less weary,
This is what I'm going to do.
In each daily task I'll strive to find
Something pleasant to reveal,
And I'll only count the happy hours,
And I'll "Idealize the Real"

FLORIDA AFFLICTED

The country's sympathy and aid go
out to Florida afflicted by terrible
disaster the full meaning Of which
but few may comprehend. Enough
. to know that possibly fifteen hum
dred lives have been taken and prop
erty damaged to the extent Of one
hundred aud fifty million dollars.
There arise in the mind COM
PARSONS with other great disasters,
especially that of San Francisco on
April IS. 1906, when earthquake took
toll Of 500 lives and five hundred
millions in property. In loss of life
the Florida disaster appears to ex
cesd that resulting from the Gail
fornia earthquake. Six thousand
were killed by the hurricane and
tidal wave which struck Galveston
Texas. Sept. s. 1900.
There have been terrible tornadoes
in this country and they may occur
in some part of the country any
month in the year, like thunder
storms, but Maine has had no real
experience with nature in that mood.
In early spring and winter they oc-
cur in the South Atlantic and Gulf
states and June is the month Of
greatest tornado frequently in the
Mississippi valley, July and August
in the Middle Atlantic and New
England States. An unusually
violent and widely extended tornado
was that which, May II. 1917, orig
mating in Pike County, Illinois,
swept across the central part of that
State and three fourths the way
across Indiana causing loss of more
than a hundred lives and immense
property damage. In 1913 tornado
swept from northern Texas ,.cross
country to western New York killing
200 persons and rendering 5000 home
less. The devasting gale that has
swept parts of Florida seems to have
been in the nature of hurricane of
the West Indian variety, striking the
Florida East Coast with velocity of
$50 miles per hour along a sixty
mile stretch.
The magnitude of the Florida
disaster appeared to increase with
the later accounts. Apprehensions
were intensified because of the de-
struction Of communications. Soon
the relief machinery was in motion,
however, and relief was going to
the stricken by airplane, motor and
by rail. The Red Cross all over the
land is responding. Anxiety is wide
spread by reason of the fact that
people from all parts of the country
are in or on their way to Florida
and their at-home friends are soli-
citous for their welfare.
The oneness of this country Of
ours Is made impressive by these
catastrophes. Every practical meth
cd Of relief will be used. The fini
ancial loss may soon be restored;
not so the lives sacrificed. Because
of this, because Of the close ties re-
Gently knit between Florida and her
sister states, sympathy and sorrow
are confined to no part Of the land.
