THE EVENING REPUBLICAN. RENSSELAER. IND.

KNOX ASSERTS PEACE LEAGUE MEANS SUICIDE

“National suicide” would be the effect America’s entrance into the league of nations under the revised covenant, declares Senator Knox, of, 'Pennsylvania, former secretary of state and a republican member of the senate foreign relations committee in a statement issued Thursday. The Senate, Mr. Knox asserted, has power to amend the peace treaty. “The contention that the senate, which, under the constitution must ‘advise and consent’ to a treaty, cannot giv.e its advice and consent upon such terms as it chooses to impose , he said, “is in my opinion, wholly untentable and contrary to precedent.” “It is my intention at a convenient time to discuss the revision at some length, with a view to showing, as I claimed in my address delivered , in Pittsburg MSy 2, that the revised draft is more objectionable than the

original one, that the changes do not meet the objections so generally made to' the original, and that it would be equivalent to national suicide ta enter such a compact, and further that without authority from the peopele, the treaty-mking power, nor indeed congress, cannot delegate to any five, nine or other number of representatives of foreign governments, powers that the people have delegated to them or reserved to themselves.”

MICKIE SAYS

ONE POINT IN HIS FAVOR

Gentle Aunt Constrained to Admit That Her Soldier Nephew Had "Thorouphneea.* There are always pacifists. An unrighteous war is sure to Increase their numbers; a righteous war changes the opinions of many and commands the sympathy of others tn spite of themselves. Aunt Peace, who has brought up • family of motherless nieces and nephews, is a Quakeress. She is a woman of gentle authority, and the children were good and docile, not difficult to train in the way they should go, with one exception. Dick, the youngest boy, was a charming but careless and adventurous youngster; his head was always full of so many plans and ideas that it was hard to keep him at any one thing long enough to finish it. His lack of concentration and orderliness seriously perturbed Aunt Peace, who feared they indicated a fundamental ' defect of character. Dick was eighteen when the war broke aut, and his father permitted him to enlist. Of course poor Aunt Peace was deeply distressed, _ but, having once fully and frankly expressed her mind, she maintained a discreet silence afterward, and took to reading the papers and poring over maps. She freely expressed her pity for sufferers of any and all nations, but It was understood that she repudiated warfare as strongly as ever. Then came news that Dick in the performance of a ‘'gallant exploit had been severely wounded. Later, a comrade, invalided home, visited the family and related tlje details. They involved hard fighting; Dick had personally slain two of the enemy and brought ln several prisoners besides. Suddenly it was observed that there were- pink spots In Aunt Peace’s cheeks and that her eyes were shining like stars. “Auntie,” cried one of Dick’s sisters, laughing. “I do believe you’re just as pleased and as proud of Dick as any of us, no matter what you go v P* Bl* J • Aunt Peace looked startled; then she replied with dignity: "I have not said anything, Elizabeth; but I do not conceal that I am pleased. Thee knows I cannot condone combat, but I am sincerely rejoiced in spirit to learn that Richard has at last shown that he has profited by my training. There have been many times when I own I have been unjust to the dear lad. I feared he did not have it in him to acquire the habit of thoroughness. But from what this gentleman has told us Richard seems at last to have become unquestionably thorough !”• —Youth’s Companion.

Use of Armored Trains.

Armored trains were part of the defenses of the east coast of England, it is now permitted to announce. With the engine in the middle, these ran to and between the coast fortifications, carrying troops and ammunition. The coaches, made over coal cars, were plated with steel one-half inch thick. In the sides were 28 rifle loopholes, with sliding doors. The guntrack had three compartments for Maxim guns, an ammunition storeroom and a gun platform. On each side of the machine-gun comparb ment were three observation holes, two rifle loopholes and three openings for the Maxims. The ammunition room had observation and rifle loopholes and 50 pigeonholes, each holding two 12pound shells for the gun mounted on the platform. This car was located at the end of the train. The locomotive was armored —with a shield for the brakes and lower machinery and sliding metal shutters for the cab window’s.

Product of Many Minds.

The federal reserve banking system was the result of several years of public discussion with suggestions from bankers and business men. At one time, in November, 1913, there were three banking bills before congress—a house bill, a bill of Chairman Owens and five other Democrats of the senate finance committee, and a bill of five Republican members of that committee. A bill drawn by Senator Owens of Oklahoma, chairman of the senate committee on banking and currency, and Representative Glass of Virginia, chairman of the house committee, was finally introduced and, after many amendments, passed. It was known as the Owens-Glass bill and was the product of many minds, in and out of congress.

Idea From Playing Cards.

Having helped many a soldier through weary hours In trench and hospital, playing cards were pressed into active war service. You may have noticed the new and neat little doth badges on the sleeves of our men from the front, but possibly have failed to understand the designs. They were nothing but the familiar club, spade, heart and diamond of the playing card. Under the new scheme regiments were divided Into packs, each company having its own symbol in a certain color scheme as an identification mark, all other badges being removed before going over the top.— London Chronicle.

National Battle Flags.

When National Guard’ and National army organizations have been disbanded their battle flags will be given Into the custody of the states -from which the majority of the men came when the organizations were formed. The war department announced, however, that title to the colors would be retained by the federal govi unmeet,

E. P. Honan invaded enemy territory Thursday, coming as far east on Washington street as John Carmichael’s apartments and bringing his dog Gaby de Lys and his bicycle with him. Tried to buy some cabbage plants of John. John said he didn’t have any, and then the invader sicked his dog on John’s cat, after which he crossed the street to the express office with the idea of getting some of the plants of his favorite fruit. The' express man wasn’t in and E. P. got all out of sorts, sans cabbage plants and drove back into friendly territory.

A CHEAP CAR.

is a personal handicap in business or pleasure. Skimped in material and workmanship in order to reduce weight and cost of operation, such cars are neither safe nor economical. The highest priced cars market their name and reputation. Safety and luxury are developed without regard to the added weight or cost of operation. The initial cost is almost prohibitive. Either extreme is poor business.’ Where, then, does a buyer look for a happy medium between the two? We answer this with our kind of cars. We can show you power, beauty, finish and reasonable upkeep, backed -by reputable firms, and sold at medium prices. There are other good cars but we grabbed the “Aces.” Now it won’t take long to spend half an hour looking them over. Be as critical as you like. You’ll weaken. First, you’ll concede a few points. Then you’ll fall, at least you’ll start wishing. Yes, there’s a car for every purpose and a price to fit all purses in the Hudson, Olds and Essex or Oakland. HUGH KIRK.
