Patriotism of men who bold differing vie on the wudora of ratifying tlia peace treaty, lacluding the League of Nations cove nant, it not to be challenged "to long at , they think above the plane of partisan hip," Secretary Lane deelared here to night before a masa meeting of govern ment employei. . "It is not an easy question to answer," Mr. Lane said, adding that it was one "to which we wish an American answer' "And it takes courage," he declared, "whether we stand still and risk the scorn of a waiting, eager world, or break through our inertia and take' the step , that leads to. a multitude of new rela tionships and possible obligations." The view of the ordinary citizen the Secretary said he thought waa that as many . obstacles as possible be put in the way of nations desiring to make war "but to be left as free as possible to follow our own designs, knowing tent these do not endanger the peace of .be world. "We will not hazard our nationul life or the right of our people to determine their own institutions and destiny," he said. But with these safeguarded we : will go far for the aake of the world. "Democrat"? after all is but a count ' ing of noses,'' Mr. Lane said, "and we may presume much for a policy which the chosen leaders of the two hundred and ''fifty million of the most civilized of the world s people' have endorsed. Mr. Lane said be believed rveryone would have preferred that the Learue should have been born "in a different way, at a different time.'' When Theo - dore Roosevelt returned from his trip to Africa, he added, the former Presi dent made the strongest appeal any na tional leader had then voiced for such a leas-tie. "Then was-the day for its creation," Secretary Lane continued. "But the world did not see the danger it was in." Such men as President Taft and Mr. Root committed themselves to the pro ject then, Mr. Lane said, but "the stern figure of the Kaiser backed by his standing army of two million men" stood in their path. William Jennings ' Bryan, as Secretary of tate, had moved in the same direction with bin negotia tion of arbitration treaties, Mr. Lane continued, adding; Bryaa'a Foresiiht. "Let vt be frank:Wr of America did not take these efforts of Mr. Bryan with any degree of seriousness. We thought his a noble-minded visionary let his plan is incorporated as toe nrai step of the pyramid of the present proposed league. It was not until the war fame that toward the formation of a peace league, Mr. Lane said, anil if the President had no! made the effort to secure it "we world have said he was a quitter." No Surrender of Rights, fleer clary Lane said, he had been tin able to find in the covenunt any sur render of American rights mere than every editing rule et international ' law involved. It waa, he said, "es sentially a gentlemen's agreement," based on the assumption that eaeh party to it honestly desired to adhere to the --preip!-far nhkllJhe league stands. .

Count the cost after two years THERE are many methods of cost accounting used in figuring maintenance and operating ex penses of trucks, but every system recognizes that time spent in the repair shop is a dead loss. "Money saved" by buying cheap equipment is soon eaten up by the time lost during repairs, to say nothing of the money spent on repairs. The pwner is-left with an impaired truck that is prac tically worthless except as a "trade-in" to induce him to repeat the experience.
