already done to the world and its ad vancement. state senator Franklin Mc
Cray spoke on the league of nations
and his desire for its ratification, be
fore members of the Teachers Insti
tute of Wayne county and other mem
bers of a representative audience in
the Chautauqua tent Monday morning
"I am for the league of nations and
I want It ratified," Bald the senator.
"I am not a member of the same politi
cal party as President Wilson and
did not vote for him, but I am for
him every inch on the league of na
tions Question.
The senator pointed to the steps
baokward which would be taken were not a tribunal for the settlement of the troubles of the world established. "Imagine the chaos of our country
if we had no courts. Imagine trying
to settle all our affairs through diplomacy between ourselves alone. Where would we be? And where can the
nations of the world get and and what
good has the great war we have just
gone through, been, if a place for future peaceful settlements of the dia
putes of nations Is not arranged." Asks Treaty Signed
"Often, too often, you hear men say that they do not believe in the league as It now stands; that they believe
in numerous amendments. Do they suggest what these should be? Will they perfect the league to any greater
extent than our constitulion was when
it was firBt made a part of us?
"While the world is waiting and the powers are ready, without amendiraent or delay, I want the treaty of peace, together with the League of 'Nations, which is to make peace for all the world, accepted and signed. "I want this so that we may not lose upon the field of diplomacy what we gained upon the field of battle; that our boys will not have fought and died in vain. I feel that the league will be ratified," Senator McCray predicted. "If we do not do this thing, the sins of qur generation, of our selfishness will be visited upon the peoplle of succeeding generations. If we do join ourselves in a great alliance of the world to protect and assure peace, the nations of the world will be shaking hands with each other in a better, brighter, happier world. The international law has got to be rewritten, for our inventions make it absolutely impossible for us to remain isolated either as enemies or friends," he said.

LEGION NEUTRAL ON PROHIBITION
NEW YORK, Aug. 26. The American Legion will maintain an attitude of strict neutrality on the subject of prohibition, and this is a disappointment to the liquor interests, which have already tried to make it appear that he legion was on their side. Henry D. Lindsley, chairman of the legion's national executive committee, now in session here, in reply to a letter from Andrew B. Wood, assistant state superintendent of the Antisaloon League, has written: "Neither the Paris convention nor the St. Louis convention took any action relative to prohibition, nor has the national executive committee taken such action. The question of committing the legion either against or for prohibition has never been discussed, either at the conventions stated, or by the committee. "I believe I correctly represent the views of the members of the legion in stating that as an organization it will take no part in any movement either for or against prohobition. The action of any local post contrary to this position merely expresses the views of the individual members of such post, and does not in any way bind the state organization involved.

AMERICANS GIVE AID TO SARAJEVO SARAJEVO, Bosnia. August 25. Sarajevo, scene of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, suffered less from the war than any other city in the Balkans. As compared with Belgrade, it is a city of luxury and plenty. The cafes have all the food one cares to buy, the stores are well stocked, and the Jewish and Turkish vendors of souvenirs still do a flourishing business. The service at hotels and restaurants is exceedingly bad, but that is
