deavor to effect a settlement of the dispute." However, according to Article 15, to which we have returned, "if the dispute is not thus settled, the council, either unanimously or by a majority vote, 6hall make and publish a report, containing the statement of the facts of the dispute and the recommendations which are deemed just and proper in regard thereto." Hut, "if a report by the council is unanimously agreed to by the members thereof other than the representatives of one or more of the parties to the dispute, the members of the League agree that they will1 not go to war with any party to the dispute which complies with the recommendations of the report" In this case we find the council agreeing unanimously to a report as to action to be taken on a question with regard to which they found themselves utterly Incapable of unanimous agreement. That was how the members of the League came into Jurisdiction. But If the report of the council on the action of the League members "for the maintenance of right and justice," which was in dispute and therefore submitted to inquiry by the council, is not unanimous, then we get back to the second paragraph quoted by which the members of tho League "reserve to themselves the right to take action," etc. And at this point we observe Senator Williams rushing from bis seat and joining some other Senator In his trip with "Alice in Wonderland."

A MIXED UP MESS. Probably never in the history of the United States has there been a question of such national importance, over which there is so many conflicting reports and where those vitally interested' are so at sea, as the liquor question. There are a dozen different conflicting authorities from the President of the United States down to the lowest courts. The present administration with the usual democratic tendency to make egregious blunders, has certainly tangled up the liquor, beer and light wine question The President and Congress don't agree. The United States Supreme Court Is considering the moot points, the state courts here and there the district courts, the United States attorney-teneral and the states' attorney-generals, the department of justice and the county and civic authorities all over are up in the air. They don't know what to do and in the meantime the poor fellow who has his money tied up in the busij ness has no more idea where he is going to get off than a hyena has of th price of. camisoles. One minute a certain interpretation is put on a law and the next minute some other directly opposite construction is placed on it. -You can and you can't. You may and you musn't. All is speculation and guess-work. The whole thing Is disgusting, to say the least. The government could eettle things in a hurry if it so wanted, but it doesn't want.
BAD NEWS FOR THE DEVIL. It is pleasing to turn from the news of booze and tragedy; from the riotous unrppt that is going on in the world at large, lo the welcome announcement that the Methodist church is to spend nearly a million dollars in the cities of the Calumet Region The world is not entirely going to pot anyway. Ii is encouraging to read of religious movements, to know that the forces that obtain for good are at work. Gary is to have $300,000 out of the appropriation and Hammond nearly $TJO,"00, while in other parts of the county, including East Chicago, big sums are to be spent in churches, parsonages and community buildings. There is great need of religious influence in this busily growing district. Good people will always hail the growth of godly movements with enthusiasm. Sometimes it seems as if religion slumbers in our midst, but such signs as the Methodist centenary appropriation in the Calumet Region are indication that old Satan isn't going to have everything his own way in our cities.
REFERRED TO THE MARCH HARE. Senator John Sharp Williams is quoted as saying: "At any rate the League of Nations can take no action affecting internal concerns of the United States without a unanimous vote, as is perfectly well understood." Senator Williams'major subject in the realm of the Intellectual has been philosophy, which he studied abroad, in the University of Heidelberg, Germany, and which he has pursued unremittingly at home. An understanding of philosophy, of course, presupposes a pretty good foundation in logicIn Article 15 of the League covenant we read: "If the dispute between the parties is claimed by one of them, and is found by the council, to arise out of a matter which by international law is solely within the jurisdiction of that party, the council "shall so report and shall make no recommendation as to its settlement." And just preceding that paragraph is one which reads: "If the council fails to reach a report which is unatr. cotisly agreed to by the members thereof other than the representatives of one or more of the parties to the dispute, the members of the League reserve to themselves the right to take such action as they shall consider neci.sary for th maintenance of right and justice." Both these paragraphs are in Article 15. Now, then, Senator Williams, apply your logic. Let us suppose the question is broached whether or not the tariff, or immigration, is a purely domestic question, the United States claiming that it is. First the council must make its own interpretation of international law, and that in the light of the new dispensation, because precedents will be worthless in the new ordr of things. More than likely the council will fail to reach a report which is unanimously agreed to. whereupon th right of tho members of the League-to take such action as they shall consider necessary immediately arises. Having steered the Senator from Mississippi thus far. let us proceed Suppose a dispute arises among the members of the League as to what action on this question shall best maintain right and justice. They wrangle to a point which threatens rupture, and then they get out their copy of the covenant. "What to do in case of disputes." Article 12 reads: ' The members of the " League agree that if there should arise between them any dispute likely to lead to rupture, they will submit the mattei either to arbitration or to inqtrry by the council, and they agree in no case to resort to war until three months after the aw-ard by the arbitra'ors or the report of ihe council." Now the question on the question is back in the council. The council must render a report within six months of the submission of the report and "shall enI.I I W I
A BOY SCOUT CAMP. We want to say a word for what we believe is a good thing and that is the Boy Scout Camp at Cedar Lake this month, which is in charge of Hammond scouting authorities for Hammond Scouts. It is the second annual affair of its kind and ought to appeal to parents. The Scout camp will last six weeks and forty acres has ben leased on the site of the old Thistlethwaite grounds, absolutely the prettiest oq, the lake. Parents are urged go this year. The camp's $2 per capita, per week. Is sheltered in army tents under military rule. Besides the presence of Scout Executive Lawrence Harris, a swim ming expert, male cook, scout masters and scout officials have been engaged to take care of the boys, who will not be permitted to leave the grounds without orders and will be even better guarded than they are at homeThere will be nothing that boys enjoy that they cannot do, an devery boy who attended the camp last year will go this year. The camp's $2 per capita, per week, cheaper than any like camp in the country. Here is an ideal outing, health, entertainment, good food, beautiful air, pure water for the Scouts of Hammond. Can thenparents not see the almost incalculable benefits?

FIFTY-FIVE WOULD AMEND. A poll of the senate indicates that fifty-five Senators favor amendments to the covenant of the League of Na tions, regardless of whether the document goes back to the peace conference or not. That number being six more than a majority, it is evident that they will succeed in making changes in the language. There Is probably not a single Senator, either Democrat or Republican, who thinks the covenant is perfect in every detail. Those who oppose any amendment of the document do so largely because they wish to avoid sending the treaty back to Paris, with another period of prolonged delay and the continuation of the war status which that action would involve. When the covenant is taken up for consideration those Senators doubtless will oppose any amendment until one is successful in adoption, fbeir purpose in holding the treaty intact will then have been lost and they will be free to join with their colleagues in changing the covenant wherever they think it should be altered. The riot of amendment that is sure to follow when once a change in language has been agreed to will so transform the covenant that it will bear no resemblance, to the original draft. After American independence of action and the guarantees of our Constitution have been properly safeguarded it probably will then be in such shape as to be unacceptable to the other nations parties to the covenant. Without the surrenders of sovereignty that they haped to exact from America, the League will have little value to Europe, "and the result will be that the covenant will be discarded as unworthy of further effort.

A special fom enwled. In the Ameroc News contains the following news about Corporal Irving Chayken. former Times sporting writer, says: Neuwied, June 7. The club room of the Jewish Welfare Roard here have been moved to No. 11 Rhinufer strasse. due to the fact that the former home of the orgauiiation was found to be far too small to accommodate the large number of soldier who are dally taking advantage of the hospitality of the board. 'Under the supervision of Irving Chayken, a discharged aoldler of the Second Division, assisted by Jeannle Eisherger. the new club rooms have been arranged in a very attractive manner and with the ole purpose of making every visitor and guest feel at home. That the result has been acccmpllshed I attested by the manner in which the members of the faith and many others are availing themselves of this opportunity to spend a pleasant evening while in the Third Corrs headquarters city.
