All right of republication of sp al dispatches herein are also reserved. ,, The League of Nations Interviews with the great statesmen of the world, printed as Associated Press dispatches, in dicate that enlightened diplomatic opinion favors 3ome sort of league of nations which will make impossible future wars and guarantee the peace of the world. The latest expression is1 that ' of Viscount Bryce, former British ambassador to the United States, who declares that some combination 'or league of nations is a fundamental necessity to carry out the settlement of Europe and the East. The main objection which opponents of the scheme have advanced is that a strong police force will be necessary to enforce the dictates of the league, so that the system carries within it self the very principle of strong armaments and militarism that the nations are trying to prevent. Friends of the proposal answer this argument by asserting that the league will not be something extraneous to existing governments and that the army and navy required to carry out its decisions will not be an armed force set aside, such as a police department is, to do patrol work. This force is to be assigned by the nations in the league for a particular duty when the occasion arises. It will not be a distinct organization. Viscount Bryce argues for the beginning of a league, leaving details as to method or organiza tion to be worked out later. He believes "that a beginning should be made and solid foundations laid before the conference separates." No one can gainsay that the whole world is sick and tired of war and earnestly pines for the prevention of blood-shed by armed nations. The great war will have been fought in vain if out of it does not come an organized movement to forestall war and preclude the shedding of blood. The people of FranceyGreat Britain, Belgium, Italy and the United States are anxious for a lasting peace. If a league of nations can bring about this consum mation without impairing the spirit of national honor and preventing the establishment and maintenance of adequate national defenses, America will accept the movement at. its face value. If the proposed league, however, will mili tate against preparedness and military defenses, America will look askance at its development. Violating the Liquor Laws Wholesale violations of the liquor laws in Ind ianapolis by druggists and so-called dry drink saloon owners have led to the arrest of many men in that city and have brought forcibly to the at tention of the public the attempts that are made to import and sell liquor in Indiana. The public takes only one view of the situa tion, namely, that violators of the law should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Ind iana was made dry by statutory enactment, and the vote of the legislators must be accepted as a reflection of the opinion of their constituents. The state is dry and should be kept so. The police authorities of Indianapolis are doing their duty in bringing before the judgment bar men and women who violate the statute either by smuggling liquor into the state or by offering it for sale. A law becomes a farce if the authori ties permit violations to go unchallenged or con nive at evasions of its provisions. An Indianapolis investigation, it is alleged, showed that one concern alone had 1,600 gallons of intoxicating liquors in its possession when of ficers made a raid. This indicates that the con cern was selling liquor illicitly on a big scale and seemingly believed it could hide its operations successfully from the police department. The possession of this amount of liquors presupposes an extensive transportation from wet into dry territory. The breaking up of the system that enables the importation of this amount of liquor, and its confiscation by the police, should go a far way in solving the sale of wet goods in Indianapolis. Fire Loss Figures The many responses which the fire depart ment has made in the last two weeks to alarms indicate only too plainly that the fire menace and hazard are still with us, perhaps in a greater de gree than in former years. The annual loss by fire in the United States is an astounding one. More than 15,000 lives, mostly women and children, are included in the toll. The property loss amounts to $250,000,000 annually. More has been accomplished in the last two years to reduce fire waste than in the ten preceding years. It is gratifying to note that satisfactory re sults have been attained all over the country in reducing the fire loss. The campaign of educa tion which has been waged in the schools and by the public press is held to be one of the primary causes for the reduction in the fire loss. The fire hazard, it seems, has been increased this winter by the fuel which is being burned in furnaces. Few furnaces Richmond are adapt ed for the consumption of inferior grades of coal which require more air for satisfactory combus tion and also give off a large amount of soot that adheres tenaciously to flues and chimneys. Most of the fires have been confined to the chimneys where soot has collected and finally caught fire. Careful attention should be paid to the danger of fire arising from this condition. The fire department has proved its worth in the last weeks, and if there are carping critics who believe that the men are not efficient in res ponding to alarms and fighting fire, they certain ly will change their opinion in view of the ex cellent work that has been done in restricting fires and keeping down losses.

Senator Ashurst of Arizona has introduced a resolution in the sen ate for acquisition by the U. S. of Lower California and part of .the State of Sonora. He would have the government obtain them through negotiation with Mexico. He points out that MexiPo would be unable to control the territory or protect it from foreign invasion. This country, he believes, could convert the territory into a great agricultural country by irrigation from the Colorado river. Red Cross Issues Statement of U.S. Provisions For Disabled Fighters Red Cross Civilian Relief demobil ization work has just been defined by Lake Division Director of Civilian Re lief James L. Fieser. "The obligation of the Red Cross to the families of men in active or mili tary forces does not cease upon honor able discharge from the service," Mr. Fieser says. In addition, the Red Cross Home Service section throughout Ohio, Ind iana and Kentucky are strengthening: Names of all men discharged from camps and government hospitals in this country are reported to the Red Cross, and the Home Service section nearest each man's home is notified, so that he will not lack help. The district office of the deral Board co-operates with the Red Cross division office and these keep up a constant exchange of lists of dis charged men coming to the attention hours later in a field hospital. wife was bending over bim. "Ain't that just my luck, Jenny?" he murmured. With all the pretty nurses there are over here to look after the soldiers I had to draw you." Suddenly in the midst of the dance she stopped. Her face paled and a look of in effable pain burned In her eyes. "Take me away!" she faltered. Leaning heavily on his arm she found herself presently In the con servatory. There amid the palms they sat, silent, unheeding the distant strains of melody which called them to the ballroom. "Tell me," he said at last. Silently she shook her head.

"You have a secret sorrow!" Again she nodded. "Someone has come between us?" "No! No! No!" she cried. "Not that!" "Then tell me!" "If you must know," she replied In measured tones, "if you must know you have stepped on my corn!" j "It says here that marriage Is a preventative against suicide," said Mrs. Gabb, as she looked up from the newspaper she was reading.

Civilians, wounded as the direct re sult of war activities are also entitled to Red Cross Home Service, and the families living in this country of men serving with any of the allied forces. Only the families of deserters from the military and naval forces of tha United States have no right to this service, though even in these cases considerate action will be taken to as sure the families' continued welfare. But the Red Cross knows that there will not be many deserters. It is th families, anxious to have their men at home, anxious to carry out the plans made before the war, who will need encouragement to keep them from worrying their men. Difficulties concerning delayed al lotment and allowance checks, prob lems of filing claims for compensa tion and insurance benefits, health and social problems growing out of the discharge of large numbers of men from service because of physical disability, these and many other ne cessities will keep the Home Service sections of the Rod Cross in the Lake Home Service sections have been in structed to extend their services upon the principle that action shall be re sponsive rather than initiatory.
