THE VALUE OF A GESTURE

The Kellogg ant-war treaty lust SIGNED in Paris
mas come IN for wide discussion in the American press
tIis summer 1t has been praised to the skies and at
Inc same time denounced betrayal of American
~lnterestS. Some have in it the dawn of a new
era others have found it sham meaningless as far as
real war-preventon is concerned.
Yet, however you may happen to view it. YOU can
not dismiss it unnportan 1t step in fhe RIGHT
drectlon even II 1t is not very long step; and while
lt may, as some declare, be only an empty gesture il
s1oud not be forgotten that gestures made in the right
way, sometimes have great and lasting influence
Since July of 1914 the world has had an unnleas
ant awakening from its old peaceful siesta. Before
that time did not think much about war-and if we
did, we either accepted It necessary evil or con-
tented ourselves by hoping that too cviized'
to go to any
The World War ended those attitudes forever #
demonstrated that in present civilization is
almost inevitable and then; and, the same time
it showed that it conducted is so fright
fully expensive and destructive that two more
would just about reduce the modern world to barbar-
ism. 1t made it plain that we must, in way or
another, find some way to abolish a means of
settling international disputes.
That is sizeable job about the biggest, that man
has undertaken It may be, indeed, that it will
prove an impossible job But we must tackle it. We
have choice in the matter The thing be tried
The treaty Just signed in Paris marks of
attempts at the job. 1t may may not be effec-
tive attempt. Perhaps it will turn to be useless
Nevertheless, it is extremely significant.
What it means is that the people of the world are
becoming aroused. They beginning to demand
that something be done There is no hint in all of
this of any taint of pacfism; rejoice in the
twar treaty without being peace-at-any-prce advo-
cate Not of the signatory countries has yet been
converted to the doctrine of non-resistance.
The treaty is important not for what it will do,
but for what it means. It indicates gradual awak
enng to the fact that must find some way of get
ting away from war. This particular treaty may be
Worthless but the encouraging thing is that 1t

ware ON SHELF,
DUE TO ILLNESS
Senator Elect Must Rest
for Several Months.
lBy scripps-Howard AIliancel

SC1lDQS-hOWdIQ AllldnCCl
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. s.
William S. Ware, Senator ELECT from
Pennsylvania and Republican boss
of Philadelphia, apparently has
been removed from active partici-
patton in the national campaign or
in his own movement to be seated
in the Senate.
While his doctors do not believe
he is in immediate danger from
the stroke of paralysis which pros
trated him at his summer home at
Ventnor, just south of Atlantic City,
they say he must have absolute rest
and quiet for several months.
This means that Ware at best will
be unable to participate in the
greater part of the campaign.
Wares friends are inclined to
attribute the illness at least par
TALLY to the stress of his losing fight
to get into the Senate.
Since he recovered from the
earlier illness, he has been unusu-
ally active, making many trips to
Washington, besides his trip to
Kansas City which resulted in his
tossing his delegates on the Hoover
band-wagon.
