of the World and a member of the government committee on war advertising. Captain Thomas G Chamberlain of the First Anti-Aircraft battalion, A. E. F. The announced purpose of the convention is to discuss the proposed plan for a league of nations and to organize demonstrations to show the United States senate that the peopl of Indiana favor the ratification of the league covenant at the special session of congress which will be under way at that time. Inquiries received by the state branch of the League to Enforc* Peace, under whose auspices the meeting will be held, Indicate a large attendance from all parts of the state. Arrangements are being made on a strictly non-partisan basis, in the belief that the league of nations question is too big to become a party issutj. League Critics Are Small Potatoes Cleveland, 0., May 13. —The person who opposes the league of nations because he dislikes President Wilson is actuated by a “small potato motive,’’ that is not worthy of the dignity of the pact, William Howard Taft declared here tonight in an address. “I am a Republican, believe that party government is the best agency for administering a republican form of government, but when such issues as the league of nations are up for consideration we should go outside party limitations,’’ said Mr. Taft.

VICIOUS CHARGES MADE AGAINST THE PRESIDENT

Washington, D. C., May 15. President Wilson stands charged , with a new offense—that of "saving the kaiser” —and is being con- ( demned by the Republican publlc- . ity association. In a format stateI went from this association, which assists the Republican national I committee in fighting the league of nations—President Wilson is atI tacked for alleged leniency to /‘Butcher Bill.” , ‘‘The patience which the president of the United States has exhibited toward Germany, the Germans and the kaiser and his court is of a quality more vicious than virtuous,’’ says this association. "Is Bill the Butcher to get oft scot free? Is the muddle which Mr. Wilson is stirring up in Europe to screen the escape of this archconspirator against mankind?’’ the statement inquires. “Is this advance agent of antichrist, if not the apocalyptic beast himself, to find safe refuge beneath the academic skirts of a man whose Imperialism was repudiated at the polls last November?” In thus charging the president of the United States with a deliberjate purpose of affording protection and Immunity to the kaiser, and of "stirring up a muddle In Europe,” the Republican publicity organization speaks also for leading Republicans in public office and In private life. Officers of the Republican publicity association are former Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., president; former Senator John W. Weeks of Massachusetts, vice-

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MAHON

The idle rich, in ten years inora. will make their journeys in the air; the inan on Hoot will watch /hem soar, and shed a line of tears, and swear. The inan on foot’s a busy jay, he’s dodging autos all the time; some crazy jitney every day attemipts his wayworn frame to climb. And there’ll be thrice as many cars Jn days to come, the seers opine; though aeroplanes may graze the stars, the autos won’t take in their sign. The man on foot’s a busy gent, he hustles wildly through the town, and when he’3 out to earn a cent, some auto tries to run him down. He’s always climbing trees and poles, pursued by crazy choohunk carts, and crawling into drains and holes, to save his divers vital parts. What will it be in years to came, with castings falling from on high, where dizzy airships, whiz and hum? The man on foot can only die. What profit. If he dodge a boat, and save a highly valued limb, it then some airship gets his goat, by dropping rusty junk on him? There’ll be collisions overhead, of accidents there’ll be no dearth, and airship chuffers, quick and dead, will come kerflopping to the earth. The man on foot can’t dodge them all, the autos and the airship freight, and so he’ll jump this mundane ball, and try to keep his shroud on straight.

The World’s Next Step

NO. 5 Ie the I.ea<ne of Nations a Workable Plan?

By CLARENCE L. SPEED

(Written for and Approved by the Illtnola Branch of League to Enforce Peace.) It is a remarkable fact that, in all the opposition that has come out to the ratification of the peace treaty containing the draft of the league of nations as It stands, scarcely a single responsible American statesman has come out flatly against the principle of a league to enforce peace. Many have expressed serious doubts as to whether or not it would work. Others have said that this was not the time to establish it. and that it should wait until after peace was signed. Still more have pointed out this difficulty and that; and. because the American people are very largely headline readers, the impression has gone out that a great number of senators are unalterably opposed to any sort of a league of nations whatsoever. There is no doubt that some of these ’ objections to the ratification providing for a treaty are sincere. Some of them may not be. But the fact remains that nearly all these statesmen who depend upon the people for votes have left open a way of retreat so that, If it finally develops that public sentiment demands the league it can never be shown that they were unalterably against It. There are many, on the other hand, who have so definitely committed themselves to the idea of a league of nations that they leave no loophole through which they may crawl if the idea is not favored by American voters. They have the courage of their convictions. They are so sincere that they are ready to stand or fall on their records. Such a man is William Howard Taft, formerly president of the United S ates. By no stretch of the imagination could he be considered as backing a league of nations favored by President Wilson through partisan motives. Here is what Mr. Taft had to say in a public speech at Helena, Mont., the day after he had had the opportunity of reading the 'draft of the constitution of the league of nations as cabled from Paris: "As lovers of your country and as lovers of mankind I ask you to use all your influence with our senators to have the . treaties embodying the league of nations idea ratified. It is

a real longue of nations. It la not al! that I wished, but cornea near. It is a great deal better than I hoped. It contains within Its terms provisions for its own growth. Indeed the exigencies of the European situation in the sphere of the league will probably require additional and more stringent provisions tn some respects than appear in the present plan.” ••There should be no doubt of its approval by the senate when It la embodied in the treaty.” Mr. Taft evidently is convinced that the league will work. President Wilson believes it will work. Lloyd George believes It will work. Even Clemenceau of France believes it will work. It has the complete support of the Italian government, which believes It will work. The little nations turn to it ffs their only hope of safety. They believe it will work. If all of these people and these nations believe the league will work how can it fall to work? The only apparent chnnce of its falling to work would be in case there were enough strong powers against it, while It is young and untried, to keep it from working. But here you find the powers all for It Who Is going to try to upset it —some power like Liberia, or a beaten and helpless Germany? Why, even Germany now hopes it will work and work in a hurry, for without It there is no limit to the penalties that victorious neighbors might impose. And the peoples of the world, even more than the governments, want it to work. Mothers and fathers whose sons are burled by the million on the battlefields of Europe are for it Women who have suffered violence at the hands of invading armies, or who have fled headlong from their homes to avoid it, pray that it may become operative. Workmen who are hungry because factories are closed see in it a preventive of wars. People who have seen their savings jeopardized or swept away stand behind it. No one, apparently, wants it to fall, yet there are some who doubt its success because, by careful searching, they can find difficulties in the way. They may be of good cheer, and you may rest at ease, too, because, if by any chance this league which everybody wants should fail to work, there is nothing to prevent you fighting for your rights Just as you did in the past. The United States faced a world in arms with very little preparation ,for war. She can face a world leagued for peace with an army or navy just as large or small as she chooses. There is not even the most remote probability of the United States ever fighting the league, unless It, too, becomes insane and needs a licking. If it does become necessary for her to fight nations which cannot be controlled by the league, there is nothing to prevent her from doing so. Further information regarding the league of nations, including pamphlets of the covenant of the league and speeches made in its behalf, may be obtained at the office of the Illinois state branch of the League to Enforce Peace, 342 Monadnock block, Chicago, HL

DAIRY HERD IS FOUNDATION

Not Hard to Raise Calves, Pigs and Lambs if Skimmed Milk Is Easily Available. The dairy herd is the foundation for the stock farmer or even for the general farmer who keeps several kinds of stock. With skimmed milk it is easy to raise calves, pigs and lambs, but without it one may find a substitute rather expensive and unsatisfactory. Keep the dairy cows and then these others may be added.

FEED DAIRY COWS ROUGHAGE

Outline Given of Two Grain Rations to Be Fed With Clover or Alfalfa Hay. When the roughage for dairy cows is clover or alfalfa hay, the grain rations may be 200 pounds corn-and-cob meal, 100 pounds ground oats and JOO pounds gluten feed; or 250 poWnds corn-and-cob meal, 100 pounds wheat bran and 100 pounds gluten feed.
