ARTICLE
Any war or threat of war. whether immediately affecting
any of the members of the League or not, is hereby declared a
matter of concern to the whole League, and the League shall
take any action that may be deemed wise and effectual to safe
guard the peace of nations. In case any such emergency should
arise, the secretary general shall, on the request of any member
of the League, forthwith summon a meeting erf the Council.
It is also declared to be the friendly right of each member of
the League to bring to the attention of the Assembly or Coun
cil any circumstance whatever affecting international relations
which threatens to disturb international peace or the good under
standing between nations upon which peace depends.
Tlie chief purpose of the League is to safeguard the peace
of the world, and while a war or threat of war between non
tucmhers of the League might not at the beginning affect a
member nation, if the threat were carried out or the war
continued, member nations might become involved and an
other world war ensue.
Clause 1 of Article XI enables the TiPsum thrmirh tl,
Council to take up and deal with any international matter.
which, if permitted to develop, might endanger peace.
Under clause 2 of this article it is declared to be the
T "friendly right' of any member of the League to call the at-
teution of the Assembly or Council to any thing that is likely
to affei-t peace between nations.
4. The Assembly of the League is a world forum where the
grievances of a race or a people, or their aspirations for natur-
al independence or freedom may be presented and discussed.
It is the one organized medium in the world through which a
t race or people may ask for sympathy or support of the larcer
nations of the world.
It is through clause 2 of
countries like Ireland may be
hearing.
The (vise of Ireland could
ference because the conference
uons oi max Kinn wjueii iut not altect territory belonging to
the defeated nations.
In an address September 4, 1910, at Indianapolis, Presi
dent Wilson stated :
The one thing that those doing an injustice have most reason
to dread is publicity and discussion. Under Article XI the very
sensible provision is made that the peace of the world transcends
all the susceptibilities of nations and governments, and they are
obliged to consent to discuss and explain anything that does
affect the understanding between nations.
At Salt Lake City September 2:5, 1019. the president said:
There was not a member of that conference with whom 1
conferred who wanted to put the least restraint upon the right
of elf-dctermination. who wished to put the slightest obstacle
in the way of throwing off the yoke of any jrovernment if that
yoke should become intolerable.
This does not guarantee any country, any .government,
against an attempt on the part of its own subjects to throw off
its authority. The United States could not keep its countenance
and make a promise like that, because it began by doing that
ver thing. The glory of the United States is that when we were
a little ldy of 3,000,000 people we threw off the power of a great
empire because it was not a power chosen by or consented to by
ourselves. We hold that principle. We never will guarantee any
government against the exreise of that right, and no suggestion
was made in the conferences that we should..
The Irish question has poisoned the relations between
America and Omit Uritain and has become the source of al
most as much trouble in Ameri.-an politics as in British.
The United States, if it were a member of the League of
.Nations, would have the right to ask the .League to take up
the Irish question as a constant cause of ill-feeling in British
and American relations.
(Jreat Britain consented to this action fwhen it ratified the
Covenant.
It does not follow, however, that Great Britain would be
bound to accept the solulion the League might propose. But
light would be turned on the grievances -of both sides and
public opinion, when rightly formed, is a great adjustor of
wrongs.

Predicts Victory for Cox and the
League of Nations
Senator Charles B. Henderson arriv
ed in this city last evening on - his
rounds of the stale. He left Verington
jestcrday and spent a short time in
C.ardtierville and other points along the
mute.
He expected to spend today in this
city, but on receipt of word from Reno
urging him to be there and also to par
ticipate in tonight's Democratic rally
along with Mr. McAdoo, he had to
leave. He will return to this city early
next week, when arrangements will be
made for a public meeting and he will
then address the Carson people on the
issues of the campaign.
In reply to the question of how the
campaign looks, he said:
"Nevada is undoubtedly Democratic.
In every section that I have visited.
and I have uracticallv covered the

the covenant is explained and its nee
essity made obvious, the neonle will
ingly adopt the proposition. The onlv
question of its acceptance heretofore
was because of the misrepresentation
made by Republican papers and speak
ers. Tlaced in a fair light the Lnague
receives endorsement everywhere.
The women are the league's heartiest
advocates, and there is hardly a section
in the state but what women are tak
ing up the cause of the league, as no
more wars are wanted by the mothers.
It was they who furnished the men
whose memorials are now written.
"As far as my own candidacy is con
cerned, everything looks splendidly. 1
have met the great masses of the peo
ple in the cities and towns of the state
and I have met those in the outside
sections, and from the tenor of their
reception I see no reason to have any
doubts of the result. The state is as
Democratic as it has leen for the past
several elections.

FOOTBALL
Football will have to be given up for
this year, according to Mr. McKeown,
but there will be some hope of a team
next year, providing some of the small

game. At present Reno is. the only
school which plays the game and ow-
to deflect the Democratic vote to any
other party.
"As for the editorial in the Journal
of the 19th inst.. accusing me of a re
versal on my stand on the League of
Nations, it is not only the purest rot,
but absolutely false.
In the first place, I have not even
beeu in touch with the Democratic
headquarters ia San Francisco, in this
campaign, and I have never even talk

of the party. Thev know nw stand 'ind

adoption means the ewrVsting dis

"As a rule, it is useless to pay any
attention to the utterances of the Reno
opposition papers, but in this case the
misstatement is so gross that even the
leaders of the Republican party know
its falsity and place no credit in the
statements. My record is public a-.u! in
the public's hands. It is consistent and
I intend that it shall remain so.
"1 have been compelled to make some
pretty hard trips over the state, but
every day has been worth while, as it
has put me in touch with our people.
The state as a whole is wearing a very
prosperous look. The Democratic par
ty has done much for the whole peo
ple, and a considerable amount has
been reflected to the far west, Nevada
included. I hope to keep going until
the last moment and feel absolutely
sure that when the votes are counted
it will be shown that Cox has carried
the state and Nevada will again be
able to support a Democratic president
with Democratic congressional repre
sentatives. Cox's election, to my mind,
is certain.

Tuesday afternoon the pupils were
told to bring pencils and something to
w rite on into assembly. Of course, this
caused a great deal of excitement and
wonder. In the assembly Mr. Mc
Keown passed mental examination
pamphlets around. These consist of a
small pamphlet containing ten tests,
on reasoning, arithmetic, selections, in
formation and the like. These were
given to the soldiers and had much to
do with the selection of officers. The
pupils were given a certain time to
complete each test and as speed and
accuracy counted much many are won
dering how they came out in the tests.
