Miss Cornelia Cool, who has returned
overseas in Y. M. C
With the return on Friday evening of
Miss Cornelia Cook from service over
seas conies an interesting glimpse of the
work of the T. M. C- A. canteen worker
in the leave . areas of France. Miss
Cook, whose chic olive drab uniform
was topped with the field cap of a
French poilu. was stationed for seven
months at Nice. Her experience included
service as a food and tobacco canteen
worker tn the Jette Casino, which was
taken over by the Y. M. C. A. at Nice,
regular shifts as a dancing partner for
the boys of the A. E. F., who came to
the "Y" for a bit of American music
and a glimpse of the "folks from home,"
and also the privilege of being present
at the interallied shoot at Le Mans In
June.
"It isn't the gaiety of the months of
continuous dancing with the enlisted
men who came to Nice on leave," said
Miss Cook, "or the excitement of meet
ing people from home and hearing all
their troubles and their various affairs,
or the experience of being in the work,
that really leaves an impression, but its
the splendid gratitude of the men who
were there for the things the "Y" did
for them, and their respect and decency
and general good behavior that I will
always remember.
"The Y. M. C. A. took over this beau
tiful Jetee Casino for their pleasure.
In the daytime it was there for those
who wanted to read or write or dance
or buy food and cigarettes at the can
teens. At night it was a blaze of light
and was filled with music and seemed
the most natural place for the men to

the bodies of 391 victims of the fatal
gulf storm have been recovered, accord
ing to an announcement from the relief
committee in Corpus Christ! this after

A. canteen work
ko and enjoy wholesome amusement
The -food at the canteen was always
cheap, in fact the canteen lost 96,000
francathe first three months it was in
operation. Everything was so expensive
in TYance. and especially In Nice and
in Paris. They could buy sandwiches
and coffee and chocolate and ice cream
all for a little money, hardly any cost,
and they really appreciated all that was
done for them, but the American sol
dier eeemed to be just a little bit
spoiled.
"He criticised the Y. M. C. A. for its
mistakes in the fearly part of the war,
he had had so much done for him that
he wanted even more, perhaps. But the
Australians and Canadians who availed
themselves of the use of the "Y" never
got over being astonished at all that
was being done. They used the billiard
tables and the writing rooms and the
canteens and thoroughly enjoyed them.
In fact, the Y. M. C. A. simply made
their leave for them. In Paris our boys
were given free trips all over the city,
as far as Fontainbleu and to many
places ' they would never nave found
without the "Y" guides. It seems a
shame that the "Y" has been so criticised
when it did such a big work for the
men on leave. In those dull days after
the war was over and they all were
wild to get home."
- Miss Cook arrived in New York about
a month ago. Since that time she has
been visiting friends in the .East and
attended the races at Saratoga before
returning to the West. Miss Cook is the
daughter of Mrs. James W. Cook of
this city.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
DISCUSSED SATURDAY
BEFORE CIVIC LEAGUE
i ii i-i
B. F. Irvine Declares Ratification
of Treaty Necessary; B. F.
Mulkey Wants It Amended.
A world, restive on a waking vol
cano, the thin seams gleaming like the
hungry teeth of hideous monsters, was
pictured by B. F. Irvine before the Ore
gon Civic league, Saturday afternoon,
and he said that ratification of the
peaee covenant with the League of Na
tions provision is vital to the safety
of civilized peoples.
His opponent. B. F. Mulkey, In a de
bate on the ratification of the peace
treaty, declared that ratification without
change would "bind, manacle and hog
tie" the United States. Mulkey repre
sented that the present-' plan for the
League of Nations would, for instance,
aid and abet the territorial greed and
machinations of Japan, and on this hy
pothesis he foresaw peril to the Ameri
can nation.
"Textual changes would delay ratifi
cation and keep the world in chaos for
months," said Irvine.
"If America made changes and the
conference reassembles, other member
nations would demand changes and es
tablished peace would be delayed in
definitely. "Changes should not be made - be
cause the treaty is predicated upon and
built around the League of Nations.
"Changes might, in the first instance.
destroy the treaty and cause negotia
tions to begin all over again ; if pot
that, other member nation could put
the league into effect, compelling Amer
ica to seek a separate peace with Ger
many.
"Changes are not necessary because
the covenant itself provides a method
and means of bringing about necessary
changes."
Mulkey averred that "God would blast
the nation that consented to the treaty
that accepted Japan's grab of Shan
tung."
Irvine called to his attention the fact
that China herself, in 1915, by treaty,
ceded to Japan the former German
Shantung possession.
Mulkey declared that the League of
Nations provision would abrogate Amer
ica's sovereignty, would compel this na
tion under foreign dictation to Bend
soldiers where she would not, and
would nullify the Monroe doctrine.
Mr. Irvine sharply rejoined that evi
dently his opponent had failed to read
the covenant, that America's sover
eignty by it is strengthened rather than

sent any place without the action of
the United States congress, thst the
power to declare war will rest unim

as President Wilson haa testified and
as the treaty shows, is a specific pro
vision of the covenant.
