It was most kind of Austria to prepare a
perfect alibi for the German ruler in connec
tion wi-h the starting of the war, but it has
come out a little too late to be very convincing.
Besides, it is too obviously In line with propa
ganda to put a HohenzoIIern back on the
throne. There is every reason to suspect the,
new Austrian red book of German authorship.
Road Work for More Volunteers.
Work done by members of the Rock Island
liotary club and others on the Milan road con
stitutes a good start. At least as much more
remains to be done to make the going passable
in the village of Milan, and then there will be
the problem of maintenance to be dealt with
later.
Milan is not in financial condition to perma
nently improve Us main streets. Much of the
traffic through it is of a kind that is of no
local benefit and it is not fair to expect the,
village to provide for handling it without some
outside assistance. Volunteer work seems to
offer the only present solution. A great deal
of gravel will be required to put Water street
up to Main and Main south to the village limits
in shape. Once that is done perhaps the vil
lage will be able to maintain it.
If the Cheney lane road were given a little
attention much travel from west would be di
verted to that route and the. wear on the prin
cipal streets of Milan would be considerably
reduced. Formerly practically all of the traf
fic to ar.d froiu the lower end of thai county
tame via the lane, hut it has been neglected
In late years, tiie grade has been flattened out
and mudholes in the lower stretch are the rule
rather than the exception, taking the year
through. Here is a work that a common grader
can do, with perhaps a few loads of gravel or
tand dumped in the low spots. Certainly peo
ple living in the lower end of the county and
residents of the city whose business takes
tliem out that way would appreciate any im
provement that might be made on this road,
for it is a few blocks shorter than the route
now most generally traveled.
What Kind of Man Is Bullitt?
Who is this man Bullitt, who secured a
place with the American peace delegation un
der false representations and then because his
own bit of work for it failed to measure up to
standard undertook to dibcrej.it everything that
was done? What were his motives and to
what extent can his word be relied upon?
These are questions a great many unpreju
diced observers have been asking ever since
Eullitfs testimony was given before the senate
committee on foreign affairs. The best answer
is a dispatch from Edwin L. James, special
correspondent at Paris, and printed in the Chi
cago Tribune. The Tribune certainly has no
special interest in discrediting Bullitt's testi
mony, but the story it carries does just that.
Bullift's plan, according to the Tribune
correspondent, was for the allies to recognize
the soviet government of Kussia and then ask
Lenine to grant an armistice. Lenine, it ap-
pears, was the author of this Idea, insisting
that the aliies make first proposals, and nat
urally it waa discarded as unwoflhy'of se
rious consideration. Bullitt then demanded an
interview with President Wilson and when it
was refused he became sulky and said he waa
going to the Riveria, there to "lie in the eand
and watch the world go to hell." It would
take about thirty days for that to happen, in
his Judgment, because that was the time limit
Lenine had set for acceptance of his scheme.
After the world had refused to go to the
place he consigned it he came back to Paris,
conversed privately with members of the peace
delegation, collected what confidential docu
ments he was able to get his hands on and
then deliberately set himself to the task of
"making ont a case," as he said, against te
president. Before leaving for America he is
said to have held an evening salon at which
he lay in his room in pink pajamas and made
a speech npon the perfection of the communis
tic state and the alleged faults of the president.
It is evident that Bullitt is a "crank," a
parlor anarchist at heart. The ease with which
he reached an understanding with Lenine it
took him only two weeks to size up the entire
situation in Russia makes it fair to presume
that his scruples are of the same sort aa those
of the soviet dictator. He probably consider
anything fair which attains his ends.
Knowing the manner of man be is and the
point of view he takes most people will look
upon his efforts to discredit the peace con
ference and especially the part America played
in it, as a boost, rather than a knock.
Getting Ready for Trade.
While the business interests of the United
States are necessarily in doubt as to the scope
and detail of their future foreign policy be
cause of the delay of the senate in ratifying
the peace treaty, the government is laying
plans so that American commerce can plunge
into active world competition when the war
is officially at an end. With ships to trans
port American goods, statistical facts to guide
the salesman in foreign fields and the indus
trial ability to supply the greater part of the
world, the United States is in the best pos
sible position, could prompt ratification of the
peace treaty be obtained.
The work of creating, or rather of building
a foreign trade for the United States, will fall
on the departments of state and commerce in
conjunction with the work of the shipping
board. The bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce of the department of commerce will
act through its special agents and investigators
throughout the world in acquaintiug the pro
ducers of this country with opportunities
abroad, while at the same time they will carry
on the work of advertising American goods to
the foreign markets. In the state department
the foreign trade adviser and the consular ser
vice will form the liaison between the foreign
consumer and the American producer.
The consuls of the consular service are,
of course, the active agents or the commerce
department in many countries in matters in
volving foreign trade opportunities. To these
two services will fall the lot of reopening such
countries as Russia. Turkey, the Balkans, Ger
many and Austria and of "digging in" in the
hitherto li'tle cultivated monarchies and re
publics of Africa and Asia. Besides there will
be thousands of opportunities in South Amer
ica, many of whoso markets formerly patron
ized German producers, and most of whom are
in recent years turning with a marked degree
of preference to goods from the United States.
of the assembly or of the council shall requirt
the agreement of all the members of the leagut
represented at the meeting."
In only TWO instances can the council act
by a majority: First, in the unimportant mat
ters of proceedure at meetings and the ap
pointment of committees to investigate partic
ular matters; second, under article 15 when
the council fails to effect a settlement of a
dispnte it shall either unanimously or by a
majority yote "publish a report containing a
statement of the facts of the dispute and the
recommendations which are deemed just and
proper thereto."
Now, then, comes another paragraph in that
same article 15 which removes the binding ef
rect of that "majority action" in the following
specific terms:
"If the council fails to reach a report which
Is unanimously agreed to by the members
thereof, other than the representatives of one
or more of the parties to the dispute, the mem
bers of the league reserve to themselves the
right to take such action aa they shall consider
necessary for the maintenance of right and
Justice."
Therefore the monumental power "of the
policies of the council through a majority, and
so rule the world," as claimed by Senator Reed
in the paragraph quoted at the start of this
article, falls with a sickening squash and
smears with its slime all his conclusions from
tllat claim.
Why mince words about the power of our
one vote (always continuous) on that council.

Cleanliness Sometimes Pays.
I have no documentary evidence
that plumbers pay royalties to
English novelists and American
writers of stories for the sex-emphatic
magazines, but I notice that
the hero or heroine always begins
the day about 11:30 a. m. with
a bath. The more unclean the
character is morally the more par
ticular he or she is to bathe ma
tutinally matutinal bathroom fix
tures being, I suppose, a particu
larly luxurious and expensive kind.
That Eort of cleanliness is ques
tionable. But reasonable cleanli
ness sometimes pays. Do you know,
it is a fact that little boys and
girls who sit down to eat without
first carefully washing their hands
are much more likely to have
worms than are clean little folks.
Even if they haven't time to sit
down and eat. but just grab some
thing and, run out and play while
eating, the same sordid truth ap
plies. Tho earth in most inhabited
communities is more, or less doI
luted with the eggs of human par

man is as powerful as 11 in avoiding a verdict
in our jury system.
But Senator Reed did not stop (if correctly
quoted), at such flagrant effort to prejudice
his hearers through misstatement or ignorance
of the terms of the covenant, but he grew elo
quent in the description of our pitifully weak
one vote out of 82 in the assembly and he
quoted four tables of statistics to show appal
ling preponderance of non-white population,
and so on, ad nauseum. to prove our peril in
being a tiny one against 32 and against Great
Britain's six votes. Half his speech was made
up of this "tommy-rot." for such term inele
gantly expresses that kind of argument which
is not founded on truthful facts, whether such
facts be expressed or suppressed, for in this
instance he evades any direct mention of what
a majority of the assembly could do, but neces
sarily wishes his hearers to Jump themselves
at the conclusion of the power oi tne majority.
as otherwise his mountain of statistics would
have no purpose.
The suppressed matter is as follows:
Look back to the first quotation I made from
article 5 and you will find that the assembly's
action must also be unanimous just like a jury,
unless "otherwise expressly provided in this
covenant."
It happens that there are only four' times
the assembly can have any action through a
OPPOSITION TO LEAGUE
FOUNDED UPON MISTAKE
(W. K. Russell, formerly editor of the Inter
national Economist, in Akron Times).
If the following paragraph taken verbatim
from the Akron Beacon-Journal's account on
Sept. 8, 1919, is a correct extract from Senator
Reed's address on Sept. 7, I hereby expect tc
prove by such evidence that Senator Reed mads
a wilful misrepresentation or a ludicrous mis
take. "The assembly selects four members of ths
council of nine. Let me select those four mem
bers and I can control the council. It stands
to reason that with the various discordant in
terests animating the Big Five the minority of
four by secret alliances can secure a majority
vote in the council and so dictate its policies,
and so rule the world."
Having before him for over three months
the published text of the amended league cove
nant. Senator Reed should not claim exemp
tion through ignorance of its contents, and
the following first paragraph in article 5 of
that covenant says in unmistakably clear Eng.
lish as follows:
"Except where otherwise expressly provid
ed in the covenant, decisions at any meeting
majority; first, concerning the unimportant
"procedure of meetings and appointment or
committees to investigate particular matters";
second, an approval of the unanimous choice
of the council for secretary general can be
made by a majority of the assembly (in article
6): third, when a dispute is referred to the
assembly by unanimous action of the council
(to whom it must first be referred) or referred
to the assembly by the request of either party
to the dispute, if such request is made within
14 days after the submission of the dispute
to the council, then the assembly by a majority
action can have a voice equal to the unanimous
voice of the council, if, and 4?n't jverlook this
very imoortant if. such majority of the as
sembly is concurred in by those members of
the league represented on the council (exclu
sive of the disputants in both instances) and
this means the unanimous concurrence of the
council, including, of course, our member, all
of which above facts makes the majority cf
assembly action of no vital consequent with
out our one member of council consent.
After the league is in practical force, an
amendment can be made by a majority of thi
assembly providing it has the unanimous con
currence of the council, including our own
representative. " x
As to the Monnpe doctrine, it is self-evident
that even if it were not excepted from league
jurisdiction no action upon it could be taken
either in the council without our one vote, or
in the assembly without the concurrence of
our one vote in the council, and therefore that
we would be amply protected without any
change in the reference to that subject in the
league covenant.
Let us now pause and proceed slowly and
deliberately, for I am anxious for you to grasp
fully the astounding assertion 1 am now about
to make, namely, the great American trait of
superficial examination of published matter has
been made evident through the above correla
tion of facts in this article and the really won
derful position of the United States (along
equally with each of the. other members of the
Big Five) is shown clearly by the actual fact
that our one voice on the council is greater
in power than if we had no voice on the council
and 31 out of 32 on the assembly.
Now, pause again ponder above sta'ement
well, for, if it is true, all the antagonism in
the senate and in the public press and among
the people is founded upon a mistake which
has perpetuated Itself because so oft repeated
without the specific detailed proof herein given
of it being such an egregious error. Under
such above claim the entire fabric of the oppo
sition must either vanish or be persisted in
as an outrageous lie which the public will
soon nail to a deserved demise.
atones are conspicuously absent
likewise take chances of getting a
mouthful they are not purchasing.
Nurses may be divided into two
classes dirty nurses and clean
nurses. Saireygamp. just off her
500th baby case, is a specimen of
the dirty nurse- The invalid who
can get well under the care of
Sairey has a wonderful constitu
tion. She doesh't believe in bath
ing at all. in cold weather so she
goes much further than I do, for I
believe in bathing occasionally.
She fears her patient "may take
cold" from water, air. and such
commodities. Hence th filth. A
trained nurse's first duty is to
make her patient comfortable; that
implies cleanliness; her second
duty Is to keep her patient com
fortable. If she can master these
two duties she is a thoroughly
competent nurse, no matter where
or how she has obtained her train
ing. Tooth brushes will probably be
popular ts long aa we continue
taking a mixed diet, refining nat
ural food, and bolting' our meals.
But the tooth brush is useful in
inverse ratio with age; the older
you are the less good a tooth brush
can do you. As soon as a .baby
cutf a tooth the tooth brush should
be brought into play. It is sur
prising how quickly a baby gen
the bang of the thing and goes to
the bathroom as soon as be has
had his breakfast to brush his
tooth. By brushing the lone tooth
industriously for a while the babv
prepares the soil for the other
teeth and conserves his chewing
machinery. A baby with sound
teeth seldom has any trouble with
tonsils, adenoids- and such things.
The lees soap we apply to our
skin the better for the skin. The
less water we apply the better for
the skin. A soap and water hath
once in two weeks is ample in cool
weather for sedentary persons do
ing clean work. A plain cool or
tepid water bath twice a week is
comparatively safe. An air batn
night and morning cleans your
conscience if you feel that way
about it.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Teething Ring Hjgiene.
Is a bone teething ring objec
tionable if the ring is kept clean?
MRS. G. E. U.
Answer If the ring is carefullv
washed every time the baby takes
it out of his mouth to pound the
piano leg or wipe up the floor with
it, the ring is not .objectionable.
However, it is always unnecessary,
aud often creates bad habits.
Exercise and Menstruation.
Is there any danger in taking
too much exercise during menstru
ation? B. U.
Answer Too much exercise is
not advisable at any time. A wo
woman should not interrupt her
ordinary routine, whatever ever
cise she may take daily, merely
because she is a woman. Many
functional troubles of women arc
directly due to lack of exercise an 1
to a kind of coddling inspired by
Old Doctor Halfpint'3 almanac dis
cussions on "female weaKncss,"
whatever (hat may be.
Dandruff C ure.
Can you tell me if there is really
any cure for dandruff? M. E. A.
Answer No, I can't, but I be
lieve this disease might be cured if
the victim could get up sufficient
moral courage to go without a hat
at all times. A very helpful appli
cation for dandruff consists of a
solution of 10 grains each of sali
cylic acid and resorcin. one ounce
of any toile water. Several drops
of this should be rubbed into the
scalp once or twice a day. If tho
scalp or liajr is too dry, add about
five drops of castor oil. Thus:
Salicylic acid 10 grains
Resorcin 10 grains
Castor oil 5 drops
Cologne water 1 ounce

A FREAK OF FORTCTf E.
By Ralph Hamilton.
(Copyright, 1919, by the Western
Newspaper Union.)
'A penny for your thoughts, Wil
bur," spoke pretty Erna Barton,
and the somber face of Wilbur
Gray, evidencing a mood of pro
found abstraction, brightened up
magically, as it always did when
this charming girl was beside him.
"Am I bure of the compensation
offered?" challenged the young
man lightly.
"There!" and Erna pressed an
old battered copper coin into his
band. "Now confess, sir! Not only
do I reward you with the conven
tional penny, but I present what
may be a rare coin."
"So rare and old that it in
scription Is fairly undecipherable,"
replied Wilbur. "It seems to wear
the sreen and grime of the cen
turies." "I found it among a lot of relies
of the olden, olden time that poor
flear . grandfather cherished," ex
plained Erna. "He also left some
old pieces of delftware and ancient
firearms."
"I shall keep the corn always,
Erna," said Wilbur. "I hope It will
be a guardian-of good fortune.
"But what about the pay?" ln
aulred Erna, archly. "I bought
Four thoughts what were they?"
"Well. Erna," answered Wilbur,
his glance softening and replete
with . sentiment. "I waa thinking
low dearly I loved yon wh-an 1
came home for the holiday vaca
tion.", Erna's fair golden head dropped,
but she drew nearer to him on the
porchi seat.
"And how much more I love you
now," continued Wilbur, seriously.
"And when I come home next sum
mer I hope I can add to it all by
asking you to become my wife."
"I hope so," said Erna spontan
eously, lifting her clear, honest
eyes to meet his own, "but you
must not think of that until you
are sure that little Eva will not be
a burden to you. All grandfather
has left us is this little place, and
some money is owing on that."
"I hope to be able to clear up
everything and more," spoke Wil
bur confidently. "Send your sweet,
beet wishes after me when I go
back to work in the city, that I
may find some- way of earning more
money than I do now."
"Be patient, dear," soothed Erna
encouragingly. "Our ship is sure
to come In come day, and it will be
the more precious for the waiting."
Wilbur waa employed in a bro
kerage office. Opportunity came to
him through this business connec
tion of making money, but he had
no capital to invest. About two
weeks after his return to the city

pea into nis room at nis boarding
honse.
"I wish I had a thousand dollars.
wabur - ho said. got a tip i
that won Id make me a fortune in
a month."
Wilbur smiled incredulously. He
had always kept away from tips
and speculative propositions gen
erally, and, besides, he realized
that Warfleld was a good deal of a
dreamer.
"Don't laugh at me, Wilbur," said
Paul. "This is no wild fantasy,
but a sure thing."
"Some stock on the boom, eh?"
"Nothing of the sort. It's a sure
prospect, with a sound, substantial
basis. It's land land that never
decays, never burns up, never
wears out. Wall street can't play
with it."
"Land with a gold mine on It, I
suppose?" intimated Wilbur quiz
zically. "No, Wilbur, it's an 8-acre strip,
and last week on the forty a pros
pector made a strike. He sealed
the well, and is trying to keep his
discovery quiet until he can inter
est some capitalist to buy up all
the other land in the vicinity. The
very choicest is the piece I have a
chance to bay. My old aunt is
willing to Invest half of the money
required. Couldn't you raise the
other five hundred in some way,
Wilbur?" -
"Oh, yes, sure; certainly!" de
rided Wilbur. "See." and he emp
tied his pocket of the few coins it
held. "I might buy a hundredth
part of an acre." and Just then one
of the coins slipped through hie
careless fJrlgers and rolled against
Paul's foot.
The latter picked it up to restore
It to its owner. Then wiih a pro
found stare and a voluble "Hello!"
Where did you ever get that?" He
held clo-,e to the light the copper
penny Erna 3arton had given to
Wilbur. He rubbed It. took out a
magnifying glass and added: "Say,
did you know that you have a
treasure V
"What do you mean?" question
ed Wilbur.
"Why. that this is a Cirencester
penny of the period of King Ste
phen, probably one of the rarest
coins in the world, centuries old
Will you let me take it to an old
collector I know? in be back in
an hour."
The hour waa Just up when Paul,
excited and breathless, returned.
"One f the only two known!" he
fairly shouted. "The other is in
the British museum. I have an of
fer of six hundred dollars."
"Take it!" cried Wilbur Impuls
ively, "and use five hundred dol
lars of It for your wonderful spec
ulation." y
Which turned out just aa Paul
had predicted. There waa a later
division of twenty thousand dol
lars' profits, and Wilbur Gray went
back to bis native village to make
Erna Barton the happiest girl In
the world.

Autumn rhymesters grow offensive
when their lines are sad and pen

breezes, falling leaves and lonely
treeses. iny bard that's melan

Autumn air is keen and nippy with
a tang that makes you zippy;
there's a scene of scarlet splendor
beckoning the hardy wender. Any
chap who doesn't gurglj with de
light would rob and burgle. Au
tumn is a glowing daisy; rot too
clear and not too hazy; Just a
happy combination of the best
that's in creation. Any gent who's
not ecstatic is a grumpy old fanatic.
