This would be the most disheart

many should accept the chance ,we
offered of breaking the bond, , it
would be for the express purpose
of insuring a German-American
alliance, recognizing that the al
lies tn fact, no nation In good

We believe the .. unspeakable
sorrows, the Immeasurable sacri

and the aspiring conscience of hu

tions of the earth to a new and
better relationship.
- In short, America, refusing to
enter the league of nations (now
already established by 29 nations)
and bearing and deserving the
contempt of the world, would sub
mit an entirely new project. This
act would either be regarded as
arrant madness or attempted in

than force.
-,UjJ'.-:;;.
They term the league of nations
a military alliance, which, except
for: their opposition, would envoi
op our country, when, as a matter
of truth, the subject of a league
of nations has claimed the best
thought of America for years. The
finest impulses of humanity seek
to make another horrible war impossible.
It Is better to be the free and
disinterested agent of interna
tional justice and advancing civil
ization, with the covenant of con
science, than be shackled by a
written compact which surrenders
our freedom of action and gives
to a military alliance the right to
proclaim America's duty to the
world. No surrender of rights to
a world council or its military al
liance, no assumed mandatory,
however appealing, ever shall
summon the sons of this republic
to war. Their supreme sacrifice
shall only be aked for America
and Its call of honor. There is a
sanctity . In that right we will not
delegate. .
i
Let us analyse Senator Hard
ing's plan or making a German-,
American peace, and then calling
for a "new relationship . among
nations. This would entail our
appointing another commission to
assemble with those selected by
the other powers. With the Ver
sailles instrument. discarded, the
whole subject of partitions and
divisions of territory on new lines
would be reopened. The difficul
ties . . . would be greater than
they were at t net peace session.
. , . They hypocritically claim that
the league of nations would re
sult in our boys being drawn in
to military service, but they tail
to realize what every high school
youngster, in the, land knows that
no treaty can override our consti
tution. . '
' SOMETHING ON FOOT.
The natlonl convention of chiro
podists now being held In Philadel
phia furnishes matter for thought
an; the part of those who still cling
to the use ot their hind legs. The
chairman ot the scientific committee
presented an able argument In favor
I of dancing. The fox-trot was about
the best thing In the world for the
proper development and exercise ot
the human foot. Nothing could be
more beneficial for the small bones
ot the toot and the muscles sur
rounding them. But the people had
to be properly shod. The high
heeled shoe Is very hsrmful. ' It
throws the body from its natural
balance and makes the dance more
dangerous than desirable. The jaxz
In some ot the spindly footwear af
fected by some of the girls of today
is to invoke disease and disaster. A
leading surgeon from St. Luke's hos
pital la Chicago declared that the
kind of shoes women now wear
would In time . produce a race ot
single-toed, high-boned people with
feet like horses. But It he thinks
that fwlll change the style he Is
mistaken. The average woman
would rather hare a one-toed grand-
daughter with the make-up ot a gi
raffe than be unfashionable. It she
wants to jazx on stilts she will con
tinue td do so. What business Is It
of the chiropodist, anyhow? It it
were not for the freak shoes women
wear there wouldn't be much excuse
for a chiropodist, anyhow.
