A letter received Thursday by Dr. H." E. Morris, from
the Kiwanis, International headquarters at Chicago, states
that the Salem club was second in; the United States at-the
time of, his .writing, in. the great attendance contest of the
more than 1000 clubs. At that time, his reports gave Salem
an average of 97.51 per cent. Only one competitor was ahead
at that time," Woodlawn club of Chicago. '
Since I the letter was written, )' the Salem average has
risen to 97.925 per . cent. The club ; has had three ? weekly
meetings .with JOp per cent attendance,' If th& record should
be maintained for the four .weeks yet remaining of the inter
national contest; it will make a record of 98 per cent. As
the international secretary's letter was based, on this figure,
it is inferred that Salem is quite probably already the actual
leader of all the nation. " -; ' . ,

NEW YORK. April .12. Sena

tonight to the recent league , of

no, peace league can "function for
peace" until war has , been out
la wed as. an institution. ' v j
The , present , league, said the
Irreconcilable leader, I hot , only
had failed to make war a crime
but had been dominated by gov
ernmentsj which - had , convinced
the American people they 'do not
want peace upon any terms' com
patible with' equality and Justice."
He added that the proper field for

during the last three 'years we
have seen arbitration and concili

by and the deliberate, ; voluntary,
unnecessary choosing of force of
war. We have seen every confer
ence from . Versailles to Lausanne
break down over the question or
material : gain ; and dominion, of
oil coal or territory, or else turn
into a secret conclave for war,
"The place, therefore, it seems
to us, ' for missionary . work ' for
peace is ' not the United States,
but ,Eu rope. This is the record,
and the people of the United States
know It well. 'They know that a
league for peace made up of gov
ernments with such policies be
comes Inevitably a league for war,
for spoliation. They know that
councils of peace will inevitably
become' councils of war. They
will say; to the advocates ot peace,
"ir you really want to eliminate
war, why not start by putting thi
