CHEILA'S hand trembled on the

that she brought the car back into
the road following the shock OF

Happy in her own romance. she
had longed in her matchmaking
woman's way to bring the same ro-
nance into the lives of her dearest
friend and her hayward cousin.
Though the knowledge of Andy'S
derelictions constantly was forced
upon her. her maternal instinct and
the tie of blood made excuses for
him and always brought her to his
defense.
She would scold and reprove him,
but if any outsider, even Edna, crit

with indignation.
She now was not only indignant
but coldly furious with Mercy. for. in
her mind. the girls mere assertion
of her engagement to Andy was a
criticism of his good taste. 1t was
in tones of ice that she finally
spoke:

seriously anything that Andy may

Mercy's face contorted in a spasm
OF fury.
"Oh. oh, you" she choked.

The cedar rust eradication program

the courts decide the appeals from

Commissioner of Agriculture John

to Standard Motor Oil. R. L. May, Pres

This experience of the A. B. & w. Rapid

STANDARD" Motor Oil is made from crudes
with high fabrication value-and then specially
processed to give the product greater degree
of Oiliress. That is why Standard" Motor Oil
resists friction, clings to metal and stands up
under the most terrific punishment. Bus oper-
ators who buy fabrication on ''cost-per-mile"
find they can rely on this Oilier oil every time.

This determines our international

not only agrees best with the character
of our people, IL Is also a categoric
necessity for our whole policy since
1918, and for all future.
Guided by these basic considera-
tions, our governments did everything
to give this tendency practical express
sion in their relations to neighbors and
other states Since 1918 our kingdom
has concluded arbitration treaties and

American mind In its framing the
covenant leaving the widest scope to
the practical means of realism in poll
tics, never loses sight OF the moral
interests that preside over the destinies
Of mankind.
League Formation First Step.
The formation Of the League was
the first step Of the great departure
from the pernicious fallacy Of the
might before right" principles. There
have been several years when tmpend-
ing conflicts were avoided and even
by the Leagues. action. The greatest
progress has been achieved, however,
In the growing feeling of the moral
and material solidarity Of all nations
and the growing conviction that the
lust rights and legitimate interests of
nations are best served by international
cooperation.
On the ground thus prepared, an
other all-important step toward the
working out of a real law OF nations
based on ethics and right was realized
by the signing of the Kellogg pact out
having war The good faith Of the
Signatory powers and the good will OF
the peoples are to be relied upon that,
after this solemn act, any parties con-
cerned in contend1ng national claims
will work sincerely and resolutely for
settlement without menace to interna-
tional peace.
Goal Still Held Far Away.
There is still, certainly, long way
to 60 before reaching the goal of per-
manent and secure peace. Men being
made up Of moral Strivings and ma
sterial cravings. it is most fortunate
that the 10 years since the signing of
the peace treaties have been also
marked by some progress in preparing
for international economic collabora-
ton.
Only by leveling up of the moral
ideas, international culture, technical
civilization and material prosperity of
all the nations will humanity realize the
ideal of permanent, just and secure
peace.

particularly reparations and debts ques-
tons, are constantly being reviewed and
exploited They seem to hamper and
hinder the intense desire of the world
for peace and good relations.
Meantime, treaties of friendship OF
various kinds multiply Among them
the Kellogg pact takes front rank and
place. The work of pacification and
restoration Is slow. because Of the ire
mendous dificulties, but sure. The
problem of disarmament tarries for n
similar reason. The most hopeful sign
in the world today is the growing rec
ognition that war is a symptom-causes
are seen to have their origin in eco
nomic and financial as we'll as moral
realms Earnest minds perceive that
the evils of war must be attacked in
the preventive stage
The first steps toward peace are a
clear apprehension Of the difdculties
that lie in the path. Gradually the
world is digging down to the elements
OF the problem, which are more appar-
ent now than at any time in history.
Briefly, the outlook is hopeful, but the
need of patience and perseverance IS

Results Called Apparent.
1t is not a perfect Observation-Disclosures
can one be found?--but the record II
has built up is far greater than the
evils that have followed it. Today, 10
years after the treaty became effective
its beneficent results are becoming in
creasingly apparent.
The Treaty of Versailles brought the
peoples of the world back to work. II
took them from the business of death
to the business of life. It has brought
reasonable order and contentment to
Germany. England, France and the
other signatories. For 10 years at least
there have been no important wars, and
have yet to have pointed out to me
in its clauses the seeds Of future con-
fict such as have been left lavishly in
many of the great conpactS of history.
On the contrary, the very essence OF
the Versailles Treaty was the will to
peace. Inconspicuously it has seeped
into the hearts of the peoples of every
signatory power. The treaty made men
peace minded In England today, for
example, man who talks of war is
Missed. Here he is laughed at. Men
and women think peace, talk peace and

the first thought at every international

Advisory Member German Peace DeleGatio
Versailles

At Versailles.
BERLIN.-As nations, like men,
seemingly learn solely from their own
painful experiences, the tragedy of the
World War has given them a strong in
centive to avert recurrence of such a
disaster by building up and organizing
international law.
It Is not to be denied that in the last
10 years since the conclusion of the
treaty of Versailles many things have
happened in this field. At the same
time we still are very far distant from
the ideal of a guaranteed peace based
on law.
The underlying reason for this con-
sists in the fact that the victorious ma
tionS of the World War up to today
have seen the system of law to be de-
Tended only in the one-sided treaties
dictated by them, in spite of all the in
equalities contained in them. In truth,
however, only the realization of justice
that is, of natural right derived from
things themselves-and not the perpet-
uation of written injustice can pre-
serve us from new catastrophes.
The welfare of the world accordingly,
is dependent on this truth being recog-
nized in the next decade and on ways
being found to remove from the earth
by means of legally organized and
peaceful processes the great political
frictions that still exist among the ma
lions tOdaV

that can call Us into war az viii. Were
the United States in 20 leagues. no war
could ever be entered upon without C
formal declaration by Congress. We
should have been no more deeply COM
mitted to our international neighbors
by acceptance of the Treaty OF Yer
sailles than today we are by the logic
and necessities of the last 10 years. If
the vision, the Judgment and the hui
manity of Woodrow Wilson required
vindication I should find it amply In
the international situation as it exists
at this moment. We are in the League
though not of it. We are going in
through the back door instead Of the
main entrance. / am thankful for the
good that association has brought to
the world and to America. and I am
sure that the treaty will live always in
the gratitude of mankind for having
brought into being a world will and a
formally organized effort to do away
with war.
