RUNAWWAY FOUND Ralph Stewer, a runaway boy from Chicago, age fourteen years, was picked up on Main street at 1 o"clock Tuesday morning by a patrolman and is being held by police officials pending the arrival of his parents. WAR TRUST (Continued from Page One) are asserted, but to our diplomatic denial we will add denial economically and by force of arms, too. "During the war we properly and rightly made ever sacrifice. We are demanding now, at its close, none of its spoils, but in the name of America let us at least refuse to be treated as part of the spoils. Out of the war. Great Britain comes with a supremacy of the sea unquestioned. By the treaty she has a fourth of the earth's surface and an overwhelming preponderance of the peoples of the earth. "Great Britain proudly contemplates out of this peace a British world. Shall we, who neither ask nor get anything from the peace, guarantee this British world with our wealth and oilman power? France and Italy ani Japan emerged with territories beyond the wildest dreams of their statesmen and it is demanded that America sha'.l underwrite all their immense accessions. "We have been told by the president that we must now by this league of nations make the supreme sacrifice and throw in our fortunes with the rest of the world. Why? The very query evokes from league enthusiast Immediate angry retort and while they will not enlighten us, they hint darkly at our motives and deny even our good faith. Occasionally we hear that we have at last entered upon a world career, that we have become a part of world politics and that we cannot now either withdraw from the course into which the war drew us or desert the world which so needs us. In the language of a famous editor of tho West, 'All of this is partly true, but it by no means establishes we must surrended our cherished position or our loved idf-als by becoming a partv to the sordid quarrels and the diplomatic duplicity of Europe and Asia. Requires No Bargaining. "The United States will play her proud part in the world in the future as she has done in the past a part prouder because based upon American principles and American ideals. It did not require secret treaties and stealthy bartering and unwilling peoples to make our nation play her part In tho war. Throwing in our fortunes with th fortunes of the rest of the world means, with our altruistic brethren, throwing our fortunes to the rest of the world, that th rest of the world may do with our donation as it sees fit. Gladly will we do what duty commands and humanity and civilisation may require but that duty can be better done, our obligations to humanity and civilization better fulfilled, in th high position of the world's greatest democracy than in the subordinate position of the least consequential of - quintuple alliance, or as one of many bound irrevocably to the guaranty of the raany's power and territory. War and World Trust. "This is not a league of cations to prevent war. It is a league of armed nations in a gigantic war trust. In its very creation it has been stripped of every idealistic purpose it ever had. It contains within itself the germs of many wars and. worse than that, it rivets, as in the Shantung decision, the chains of tyranny upon millions of people and cements for all time unjust and wicked annexations. "It is a great world economic trust, where in a few men. Bitting in secret, may control the economic destinies of peoples. It is not a league of peoples, nor does it anywhere concern itself with peoples whose past wrongs and future rights were so eloquently portrayed by the president. It is a trust of existing present power. It will never prevent war; it will sanctify power in a new, terrible ndalnistef sense."
