The Leaeue of Nations' was under
discussion. Mr. Wickersham' favored
the League," while Mr. Garrison op
posed. The efforts of yome bf our
newspapers to make this apolitical
issue are meetings with a, "merited

not accept them. "Beggers should

Critics 'in the English Parliament
are telling of the mistakes made dur
ing thenar, and how it should have
been1 won. long before it was. It is
needless to say, however, that these
- critics did not give out their valua
ble information until the ' war -was
over.
Dr. Erzeberger, chairman of the
German Armistice . Commission calls
the conduct of the allies as "barbor
ous" because they have not yet re
leased all the German prisoners of
war. Any nation that murders little
children, destroys homes and out
rages women as the Huns did, has its
gall to speak of "barborous" conduct.
. . o "
V- Germany says that she will not pay
a cent of indemnification for anv-
-thing that happened in the war after
December, 1916, when their peace
offer was rejected. We are rather
under the opinion that the allies will
have something entirely different to
tell the Huns on this point, and they
will do Just as the allies order them
to do, also. . . -

William Jennings Bryan and Sena

are. in favor, of . a provision whereby
the "MonroeV Doctrine" vill not , be
