VOTING NOW UNDER WAY ON PEACE PLAN (Continued from page 1) that tlie United Slates collaborate with other Powers toward revision of International law. As provided for in conditions of the award, the winning plan was: devoted partly to argumentation in support of Us underlying prin ciple.'. Chief among the. hypotheses ad vanced were that there cannot be more than ono organization to pro mote world peace and that the League of Nations as now consti tuted comprises the most logical nucleus for such effort because of extent of its present membership. "Klve-slxths of all nations, includ ing four-fifths of mankind" al ready belong to this organization, it was pointed out, and "thoso na tions cannot and will n-A abrndon this system, which has been active ly operateing for more than three ycarc. Now Participates. ' '. It Is argued, further, that the JTnUcd States already hns taken many steps towards co-operating with the League, being now repro sentcd either officially or unoffi cially on many League commis sion:'. After endeavoring to establish this premise the author asks: "How can increasing co-opcratlon between th I'nited States and the organized, world be .secured7" An swering the question the author de dares that extension of American participation In other of the League's social welfare activities 1m both feasible and compatible with present policies. Following a resume of interna tional activities in which further participation of this country Is urged. It is frankly admitted that eventually the I'nited States must meet definitely the issue of actual meniliershiit h the league, thus: They (American policies) do not Involve a question of member ship In tho League of Nations as now constituted, but It cannot be denied that they lead to the thresh old of (hat question. Any further step toward co-opcratlon must con front tho problem of direct rela tions between the 1'nltcd States and the assembly and council fifty-four nations in the league." a lootnote slates that fifty-seven Maics, including Germany, are members of the International 1-a- bor Organization of the Loague, and I hat there are "about sixty live independent states In tlu world." Kurt her argument is devoted to expounding the proposition that many characteristics of the league as orglnally conceived havo been mollified until they are less objec tionable from the American view- potnl; that the Intent of the league in. clearly, to recognize leadership of tho rolled States In the West ern Hemisphere, and that co-oper alion of the UnHed Slates, is in- It isn't absolutely necessary to know much about etiquette If you Know a great deal about kind ness.

A( great num ber of trials for field -gdalH -were mude by both sides and about half of them from short range, but the guarding was being done so ef fectively, especially around the baskets, that only a small percen tage of the shots went In.
