The report was writ ten in January, but until how ho part of it has been made public Mr. Whitlock says it was only through fear that the relief work of the comlte national, the Belgian organ lzatlon which collaborated with the commission for relief in Belgium, might be interfered with and thus place a greater burden on Prussian sol diers, that Germany did thousands ' more. The envoy reported that he was con tinuously in receipt of reports from all over Belgium that tend to sub stantiate the stories he was constantly hearing of brutality and cruelty. A number of men deported from Monn, when sent back, were in a dying condi tion, many of them tubercular. Friends of men returned from Mallnes and Ant werp . declared they had been victims of neglect and cruelty, having suf fered from cold, exposure and hunger. Mr. Whitlock believes the Germans have dealt a death blow to any pros pect they may have had of being toler ated by the people of Flanders. The tfr m? 4 t m i 11 1 eft to right II. R.

Mr. Holt sketched the olan of tha League to Enforce Peace, pointlnr out that at the present time there Is no code of international law which is binding on nations. ."What interna tional law we have today," said he, "is the work of scholara. 'not of legislat ors. Such law, to be effective, must have a conscious political organization behind it. A nation Itself is a great peace or ganization. We have peace In every political unit from the hamlet to the notion. Now we must Secure peace through political organisation for the woi-ld. "Where there is the most political organization there Is the most law; where there is the most law there is the most Justice; where there is the most Justice there is the most peace. The worla peaceV problem la noth ing but doing between nations what is already dons In nations." The three essentials of world pe&cs. iaid . Mr. Holt, are a world organim tlon, democracy and a spirit of good wllL America's Duty Plain. A an advocate of a League to En force Peace, he confined, his remarks to the world organisation. "The United States above all nations must enter this league," said Mr. Holt. It Is the biggest thing ever opened to the decision of the American people. ' It is the destiny of the United States to lead in this movement. If estabj lished it will enthrone reason On than-1 kind. , . We must make our decision. If "we fail to act. competition la armaments will continue after this war and still a greater war will come. .itner it must be the Americaniz ing of the world, through the promul gation or the ideals of democracy as expressed' by President Wilson and other leaders, or it must be the Euro- peanlsing of. America TOu must take one or uie otner. marriages , and births in England and Wales for 181. reverts to the Red CrOss, in addition - to some $50,000 mere raised by the lottery. The" unique method of raising funds for Red Cro work waa originated by the members of the board of directors of the 'Allied Trades branch of the Red Cross. The plan of proeeJure embraced the sale of chances which allowed one to compete for the capital prise for a nominal sum and from the sale of these chances .. the Red Cross is richer by $50,000 in addition to the capital prise, as the correct figures were not forecast. A prize of 1000 pounds flSOOO). of fered by Sir William Vesey for the person arriving nearest to the official figures, was awarded to a poor boot maker in London, who was within 101 of the official registration. !

Becaus of his views at thin present Juncture, when news of Socialist et forts for peace are of particular Interest, the nlted Press today asked him what he thought of the situation. 'The alarm thus created." he said. discussing the Stockholm reports of Socialist conferences, "is In cohse- quence of the mistake made by all " anti-German belligerents, except Pres- . cent wiison, of not announcing at the outset that they were desirous of - peace and were open at any momeht to proposal to end the horrors of war. "The Germans first saw the moral advantage of this position, and de clared they Were ready to discuss peace. It .was the allies' bustlfes thereupon to outdo the Germans and to represent themselves as willing .to sacrifice "everything except honor and reasonable security for peace. Unfor tunately, they gave way to ridiculous panic lest a handful of helpless pact- : riats most or whom were in prison should instantly stop the war. leav lng Germany In possession of her conquests. 'Their reply, which enabled Ger many to denounce' them as moral out laws, was espresaed in the manner of gang frightened by blustering, pi- ' rates, Instead of civilized btatcsmen engaged in a crusade.

"According to con servative estimates, over 4,000,000 sol diers have been killed since tha pres ent war began," says the Vorwaerta. "How many people are able to form a clear idea what these terrible sacri fices mean! -if the 4.000(000 victims were marching. in close formation, without cavalry and wagon trains.

There are just as many cheaply-built good pianos as there are cheaply-built good steamships or houses, which is exactly none at all. Yet we have, in The Wellington Piano at $275 and The Euphona Playejr Piano at $485 two low-priced instruments which are in every respect high-grade and will give the lasting satisfaction that only high-grade pianos car. give. The point is that while low-priced, they are NOT cheaply built They have real quality built intp them, and built in to stay. We have better pianos, of. course, but we have no better value-for-price. We recommend these two instru- " mentis to everybody who seeks the utmost in quality and satisfaction that can be bought at the prices named. ;; Our fullest 'guarantee goes with their purchase, as with all purchases made here.
