THE GREAT AMERICAN PASTIME

No, honey, not poker! Baseball. I was saying baseball develops good judgment as well as good physique. Joe Jackson, you know Joe of the Wlhte Sox, has just bought his third Oldsmobile sport car. He sure likes them, and Joe’s got a good eye.— Hugh Kirk;

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

COVENANT TO BE PART OF THE VERSAILLES PEACE TREATY. (Louis H. Hamilton.) Have you read the sixteen articles of the League of Nations that have appeared iiri the Republican? If so, do you find anything in these articles which create a super-sovereignty? The covenant does NOT create a super-government outranking those of member states or maintaining armies to over-awe them; but it pledges the members to maintain a Condition of international morality akin to that maintained by every civilized state within arts own borders. The covenant does not destroy the Monroe Doctrine. On the contrary, the Monroe Doctrine for the first time in history is expressly recognized by all thtf nations that are members of the league, and its .principles extended to the world by means of the provisions that the territorial integrity and political independence of all nations shall be preserved. Everyone, who was in favor of our participation in the war; everyone, who thought that the war was between autocracy and democracy, should favor the ratification of the Paris peace treaty and insist upon the inclusion of the covenant of the League of Nations. The League of Nations provides for the rule of right and democracy. It has for its purpose the perpetuation of the triumph won by the soldiers of free nations upon the battlefields of Europe. As these heroes carried on in their fighit against oppression, the league continues the fight against wrong. The peace treaty names the conditions necessary for peace, the Covenant provides for the carrying into full force and effect the provisions of the treaty. Any kind of a treaty may be forced upon the conquered nations, but itt will take the League of Nations to execute the provisions of the treaty. The war won made the world safe for democracy. The League of Nations will keep it safe for democracy. American soldiers were the deciding factor in winning the war. Will American statesmen turn that glorious triumph into a defeat by refusing Jto make provisions to perpetuate the blessing of liberty to all mankind made safe by the defeat of Germany? ■-" ' ' , .

7 Our soldiers fought Prussianism because of the inhumanities it beeped upon Belgium, France, Poland and other weaker nations. They fought and many of them died that the Would might be made safe for democi racy. But their great thought was that they were fighting that there ' might be no more wars. The following articles of the covenant are worthy of the most thoughtful consideration: Article XVII tn the event of a dispute between a member of the league and a state which is not a member of the league, or be- | tween states not members of the league, | the state or states not members of the league shall be invited to accept the obligations of membership in the league for the purposes of such dispute, upon such conditions as the Council may deem just. If such invitation 1s accepted, the provisions of articles XII to XVI inclusive shall be applied with such modifications as may be deemed necessary by the Council. Upon such invitation being given, the Council shall immediately institute an inquiry into the circumstances of the dispute and recommend such action as may seem best and most effectual in the circumstances. I If a state so invited shall refuse to 1 accept the obligations of membership in the league for the purposes of such dispute, and shall resort to war against a member, of the league, the provisions of article XVI shall be applicable as against the state taking such action. If both parties to the dispute, when so invited, refuse to accept the obligations of membership in the league fßr the purposes of such dispute, the Council may take such measures and make such recommendations as will prevent hostilities and will result in the settlement of the dispute. Article XVXXX. Every convention or international engagement entered into henceforward by any member of the league shall be forthwith registered with the Secretariat and shall as soon as possible be published by it. No such treaty or international engagement shall be binding’until so registered. . Article XXX. The Assembly may from time to time advise the reconsideration by members of the league of treaties which have become inapllcable, and the consideration of international conditions whose continuance might endanger the peace of the world. Article XX. The members of the league severally agree that this covenant is accepted as abrogating all obligations or understandings inter se which are inconsistent with the. terms thereof, and solemnly undertake that they will hot hereafter enter into any engagements inconsistent with the terms thereof. In case members of the league shall, before becoming a member of the league, have undertaken any obligations inconsistent with the terms of this covenant, it shall be the duty of such member 4o take immediate steps to procure its release from such obligations. Article XXX. ? Nothing in this covenant shall be .deemed to affect the validity of international- engagements such as treaties of arbitration or regional understandings like the Monroe Doctrine for securing > the mairtenance of peace.

LEN GRIGGS LOSES TITLE AS TUTEUR FORGES TO FORE.

When dealing out the Croix de Guerres, the Distinguished Service medals, the Legion. of Honor, the Italian war cross and a few more crosses and' other denominations, j ust take one of each, tie them in a bundle and ship them, charges prepaid, to Herman B. Tuteur, Rensselaer’s dandy little dry-cleaner. Old Mother Goose, or some other dame who didn’t have much to do, once in a flight of fancy told a guy named Jack, who grew on a beanstalk, which bShnstalk grew so rapidly that it scraped the heavenes. But Old Mather Goose, with all her creative powers of imagination, is sadly outdistanced by the modern day grass which grows on the lawn of the Tuteur domain on McKinley avenue. “Boob” has a crop of grass which does nothing but grow. Kansas sunflowers are a huge sort of a joke When compared with the grass which is the property of Mr. Tuteur. Ever since the last flake of snow of winter has disappeared before the warmer .rays of the April sun, the aubum-thatched boy has done nothing but mow, mow, mow. His is a perpetual position and naught but descending winter can save him from utter rout and defeat. Gamely, grimly and with super-determination, the young man is battling the superhuman task confronting him, and each spare moment finds him hitched to 'his Bartlett Special exercising his grass-mowing proclivities. By the time he 'has finished clipping one side of 'his tract, the other side is again prepared to give him a tussle. Such a discouraging outlook never faced any human being before and Herman has Sidney Hatch looking like an Arkansas traveler as a marathoner. Naturally, something ‘had to weaken in this perpetual struggle. It wasn’t the grass; it wasn’t “Boob;” it was the lawn mower handle. The handle repaired, Mr. Tuteur found himself further behind than ever, the unsympathetic grass simply refusing to stop growing. But the young man was not to be denied and again set out on the unequal fight, which he is continuing day by day with no signs of abating strength. The grass refuses to yield before his iniaddeYied onslaught and from the spectator s point of view it seems that nature is to be the ultimate vibtor. The ground is fertile, Ibhe rains many and the sun friendly. What chance has mere man against such elements? The ground where Mr. Tuteur s grass does its growing is the same hallowed ground on which Brother Arthur Tuteur won such renown as a producer of roasting ears, which amazed the entire populace some few years ago. Len Griggs can’t mow grass.

MISSING LINK FOUND, SAYS SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE.

New York, June s.—The missing link has been found! A monkey which talks like a man ■has been discovered by Prof. R. L. Gamer, of the Smithsonian institute, who returned today from the French Congo, bringing with him a skeleton of this strange animal. This monkey taught Professor Garner ihte language before he was killed and the professor 'has samples of the language with him. “This monkey,” eaid the professor, “represents the 'highest type of animal life—short of man. It is a type hitherto unknown and the nearest description I can give you, aside from the technical one, is Ito say that it resembles a cross between the gorilla and the chimpanzee. “The 'language is strikingily similar to that of the human natives of the Congo region, where the monkey is found.' You 'have to learn at least part of the monkey language before you can approach one of the animate.”

RETURNLINES TO OWNERS

TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE SERVICE IS GIVEN UP BY UNITED STATES. Washington, June s.—Telegraph and telephone companies whose lines have been controlled and operated by the government since last August 1, were ordered tonight to resume immediate operation on their own account by Postmaster General Burleson. The postoffice department, however, under the terms of Mr. Burleson’s order, retains a measure of conltrol of the services, pending the final legislative action by congress. Regulations prohibiting discrimination against wire employes because of union affiliations, maintaining existing rates and charges and instructing " companies to keep special accounts to facilitate Cost settlement between themselves and the government are retained in effect under the order issued by the postmaster general. Mr. Burleson accompanied the order with a statement giving the reasons which impelled him to take the action. “The president having recommended the return of the wire systems and the control of the owning companies with'certain legislation designed to stabilize their operation,” Mr. Burleson said, “and the senate committee having taken action looking to their immediate return and the 'house committee in its hearings on the proposed legislation having indicated concurrence in the suggested immediate return with or without legislation so recommended, I feel it my duty to now return the actual control of operations to the companies. Prepared Several Days. “Some days ago I directed the necessary orders to be prepared to accomplish this and 'have today issued same. These orders do not affect questions of rates arid finance with which the congress may determine to deal. The rates now in force and the financial relations between the government, the companies and the order of October 2, 1918, prohibiting discrimination because of union affiliation will continue unless the congress in its wisdom may decide to change them ar the ‘emergency’ is terminated by the proclamation of peace.”

BRITAIN READY IN 1914 HALDANE.

London, June s.—The myth of British “unpreparedness” in 1914 was exploded by Lord Haldane, former war minister, in testifying before the coal commission, when he said: “In August, 1914, at the request of the prime minister (Herbert Asquith), the war office mobilized the machine with which I was familiar. orders took only a few hiinutes. Everything had been prepared years before. The expeditionary force was ready in forty-eight hours.”
