Whether or not she succeeds, some League of Nations is inevitable. Whatever the form, the spirit of an association of na tions pledged to maintain peace, must be allowed a medium for effec tive expression, Thisls becoming plainer every day. The old sti iiKyle for selfish power can't go on. The old. arma ment competition emi't continue. This bus nothing to do with pacifi cism. II has nothing to do with the present league or' the present treaty. It is not a question of theory, but a (iieslitin of fact, not a question of olicy, but a question of necessity. The. hoc outstanding lesson of the world war is that the world can't survive another. The prostration of Russia today is the writ ing on the wall. I'nless modern civilization is to commit liuri kai'i, modern civilization must eliminate warfare as tin accepted method of settling international disputes. ' And the only way this can be done is through some voluntary as sociation of nations, Outsell upon abstract justice, with ample power to enl'i rce its decrees. Nations can do nothing acting alone. Na tions can do nothing, as long as Ihey demand everything for them selves and concede nothing to others. As President Harding has said mankind must have" a world with' bencdiclion of understanding." There must be a complete spiritual readjustment. ' The leaders of civilization today, must lead the people toward eaee and away front war, or they must accept a leadership of sell-ileslruetion. Tin' time has passed when the cynical and self-satisfied can dis miss such an obligation' as visionary and I'topian. This is the most practical thing in the world. It is traced back not to dreamy ideal ism, but to the corner stone of human life itself, the instinct for self preservation. ' This does not mean any human contract can bring the milletiiuiii tomorrow- or that any expressed aspiration can essentially transVoini human nature!, but it does mean, the world must organize for pence instead of war, if the civilized world as we understand it, is to. en dure. There iniisl die a complete change in outlook. And the first step must be some world association for pence. , 6 welt S AMBITIOUS I'VK SKKN some husbands wet with tears who might have learn-, nil to sing and .dance, had but their wives, the dimpled dears, but given them' a decent chance.. I'm thinking now-of Hiram Hick,:who presses hard against the hamcs, and life's to him a ililded brick because his wife has "social aims.". Klin gives a. party every week, or riot of some other kind; ami Iliram sees his roubles leak; she makes bis assets hard to find. A tea to honor Mrs. Jones may be the proper thing to give, but Hiram's shy a hundred hones, and .wonders why such females live. His wife, must have a costly gown appropriate to each event; and Hiram loiters through the town, and smokes a torch that eost a cent. He makes good money every year, and if his wife would mend lii; ways, he well might rend his title clear to Kasy Htreet and happy days. Put she must trot with richer folk, and mingle with the Upper Ten, and so poor Hiniiu's always broke and sighing for lost iron men.. Hut in his grief, he's not alone; a million liusliands toil and spin, ami every time they earn a bone their wives go forth lo blow it in. A million husbands drudge and slave and toil along mi weary feet; and if llieir wives would help (hem save, they all might dwell in Kasy Street. What the Navy Boys Have t Been Doing on Latest Cruise CAI.LAO, Peru. "America's new, navy entered upon Its period 'of post- war "shakedown" when the Atlantic and Pacific fleets undertook their cruise to Pnnttnui this winter and unit- ed for combined maneuvers off the west coast of South Atnorleu. , Willi an almost entirely green per-; sonnet, tho high command was faced with something liko a crisis. On olhor ! occasions, experienced men lmvo out- numbered tho green hands but slnco.; ,,TTte fleet kept In touch with Wash- letter from the secretary of fie uens llie armistice old-timers liuvo been In a ington by wireless as fur south as tho ury, saying: very Hinnll minority.'' .

Tho men j fulfilled the American I radii ion of unnp this report because it was repeated efficient "young" navy and, after a few days of uncertainty, the united fleet maneuvered with much of lis old-time prevision. Virtually every ship In tho fleet of 00 staged a "Neptune party" when the fleet crossed the equator. Davy Jones and his assistant, Peg Leg, boarded them the evening licfoie latitude. 0 was reached and warned all those who were crossing the line for Die firsl time to appear at N a. in. the following morning beforo old Klnif Neptune.' While tho fleet wallowed at n stand still, "exactly on tho line," Neptune and his entourage appeared all In cos- hum'. There was the old sea klug him self with hemp whiskers and a glided trident, L'pele Sam, Miss I'olumb'a, laivy Jones, Dr. Pills, Aphrodite and court Jesters, barbers, police and sea dogs. There were speeches and then the acts of homage were rendered. A dose f salts from a squirt gun, a mouthful uf soft soup, a slash from the shears or hair cllppurs, an electric shock, a back flip from a hinged chair into the waiting pool was the course of action. Then tho InitiateB were given a diplo ma decorated with nienualds, fish and .ea horses mid full of strange nautical ph rases. . Tho American athletic contests are me of the means employed to Instill navy spirit in tho thousands of naval recruits who are having their first taste of sea life.

Ten minutes only are required to servo n meal to the 1400-odd members of a dreadnought's crew. Handy cooks, capacious steam chests ;ind hungry, eagor sailors turn the trick, llonches and tables which can be folded and stowed away above their heads, give each man his regular reut for meals although each must serve himself. Scalding imtchiucB eliminate dish washing drudgery. Thevcrew's healthy appearance and the low sick-bay give evidence that the food was good.

Tho storekeeper mentioned il to hack up his assertion that the Amer ican sailor had a "sweet tooth." An average of $5000 in postal money orders was sent hoiBO-fr,om the Penn sylvania every pay day on the cruise, Twice a month the paymaster hands out nearly flSO.OOU and the ships pay master always getB part of it for the folks back home. ', This $5000 is apart from the regular allowances sailors and officers make to- their relatives from their pay.
