Two utterances in the "Hal of the Reformation al
Geneva. on the occasion of German admission 10 the
league membership:
From BRAND for France:
No more more suffering hereafter with out
international differences. We will go before the
courts like private individuals. France has more
further need Of heroic demonstrations than has Ger
many and in the future will work together like
brothers DON say that all differences and
difficulties have been settled but that hereafter vii
settle them peacefully"'
From Stresemann, for Germany:
The Divine Architect endowed peoples with differ
en- oood. different languages and different home
lands but this cannot justify men II using their ma
tcl strength against each other, thus hlnderng the
Development Of civilization. Ihe political expression
OF thoughts Is 1Clnu il the Cu.E o. the nations
peacefully % cooperate. The >Uresc foundation OF
pe-le policy Of mutual respect and understanding.
Ven before Is entry INTO the league Germany
proved lis desire for such cooperation by taking the
initiative leading to the Locarno pact. Germany :
arbitration treaties WITH is neighbors make IurtneT
evidence. The German government IS determined TO
continue this policy. These ideas. formerly bitterly
fou- 1t in Germany have conquered German pubc
opinion, ard thus the great majority OF the German
people support the governments intention 10 share
whoIehearCedIy in the work OF the league.
Their utterances, voiced with deep feeling brought
tears 10 the eyes Of the worlds rather cynical states
men and were followed by ringing cheers.
God grant that they have spoken truly and that their
successors may carry on the work in their spirit.
There may be more hope for Europe than AmerI-
cans have thought.

The first car left Bismarck at q.
m. Monday and one or the other Of
the two cars has been going almost
steady since that time. The speed
ometer was covered and sealed before

car, so that the mileage made by the
two machines is registered thereon.
The seal will be broken when the
drawing starts tonight.
