w inds for the benefit of millions
of A®eri<Tir.s who desire a bet-
ter ■nd*r*!an<l:ri£ of the plan
hut dad themse'.\es confused by
tbe debate in the United States
Senate, la rapocae to this ie-
queat he has written the follow-
Ing article.
Pu-pos* af the League
The chief purpose of the l^atne of
Na-loaa Is to keep the world In a
STate of pea.*. Another way of ex-
pressing it Is to say that the league
.s designed to prevent wars.
We have Just finished the greatest,
which Is to say the most horrible, of
til conflicts between nations. We
r.ave won a glorious victory. Bat that
victory will be wasted unless this war
has made the nations ready to
;>ut aside their differences and co-
•;->rate to end war forever.
It la not enough, however, to pro-
file for the prevention of wars and
:he settlement of disputes after they
lave arisen. We must foresee causes
jf trouble and remove them before
rhey have reached an acute stage.
Hen 'e there must be provision for fre-
quent consultations of members of the
leagne for exchange of Information,
for agreement on common policies and
for the gradual formation of rulea of
nteraatioaa: law which at present are
mcertain and incomplete.
Tbe representatives of the great
free nations which won the war have
aet at Parts and. after long consulta-
Joa. have drawn aa agreement which
ibey believe will accomplish these
Kids. At the very least it will aet in
sotioa great changes which will re-
sult la universal benefit to all man-
kind. This agreement 1a called the
7ovenact of the League of Nationa
wd It U a part of tbe peace treaty.
There will be no league worth talk-
I ng about, however, unless the United
States Is a member The decKon aa
o whether the United States shall
join rests with our Senate. The Seoa-
| tors, chosen by the people, will la the
nd Tote as the people desire. For
■Jiis reason the people themselves will
decide whether or not the United
States wi'J Join the league. In this
juest'.on every citizen should have a
| voice. He or she can express opinion
?lther by writing direct to Senators.
>y letters to the newspapers, by
speeches in his lodge or local union or
n conversation with friends.
Methods of Maintaining Peace.
Since the prime object of the
League of Nations is tp preserve peace
—and to reap the benefits of pea-e
et us see how the league will operate
;o accomplish that purpose
In the first place It will seek to re-
move tbe main causes of war. By the
formation of an international court it
will create a means for tbe peaceful
settlement of disputes between na-
ions. Then it will seek to compel tbe
latioos to make use of this court,
m s is nothing more nor less than an
ipplicatjoa of the niles and customs
governing private Individuals in civii-
zed communities to tbe relations be-
rween nations.
Secondly, tbe Leame will seek to re-
xjove a great temptation to war by
2ie general agreement to reduce tbe
tire of armies and navies. This will
salt the race for military and naval
supremacy which was largely res* n>-
lihie for tbe war Just etded Tbe
iro-.act of armament any natioo may
na,nta'.n will be strictly defined,
thus it will be Impossible f. r
>.-Dtry to overwhelm Its ne-i-r-.r r>y
ir i;*«ed attack, in tbe way that
>rmar.y crcsbed Belgium aai wo«M

Irtoocrat.." cations to her aid. The
dea is that ewe* coastry may keep

able it to ftiifli ita res^*sit .. -es as

mrli had died on the i. - • of Nat'le!
Uhat do«* that n**a(i
I of the world? It memna i *

| walked day by day with their :

! seven million one hundred thouaan l
little children lay la tbe amia of a
mother wh<«e love had made them
fare r\eti the terrors of d. th that
U>ey might bwome the mother* ot
men.
It means that year after year these
women had put up their lives into the
lives of their sons until they bad r. ar- i
ed them to be men. For what? In
the ho|w that these sons of theirs could
give to the world the things for which
women dream, the things for which
women hope and pray and long These
were the things that tbe women h d
In their hearts when they gave birth
to their aooa.
But who can estimate the value of
seven million one hundred thousand
dt-ad sons of the womeo of the world?
Who can estimate the price which the
women have paid for this war: what
It has cost them, not only la the death
of their sons, because that Is a phase
of our war to which we look.
The Courage • Women.
We hear our orators tell us of the
courage of our meu. How they went
across tbe sea. Very few of them re-
member to teU us of the courage of
our women, who also went across the
s*«; of the women who died nursing
the sl«k and wounded: the women
who died in the hospitals, where the
terrible bombs came and drove them
almost to madnesa They tell us
nothing of the forty thousand English
women who went to work back of the
trenches m Franca
They tell us nothing of the thou-
sands upon thousands upon thousands
of women who not only tolled and
worked and slaved to order that the
war might be successful, but we do
not hear of the thousands of women,
not alone to Armenia, not alone to
Montenegro, not alone to Serbia, but
to Flanders, In Belgium, to Rumania
to Russia—tbe thousands of women
who lie to gravej today, murdered,
ao horribly mur< er*d that men dare
not apeak of It. ^ v ,
And yet we women are asked what
we know about the League of Na-
tions; asked what we can understand
about a League of Nationa Oh men:
the horrible deaths; the horrible Uvea
of thousands upon thousands of wo-
men today to all those nations, who
must live, and who must look to tbe
feces of children uaweloomed. unde-
,ired—of little children—and know
that these are the result of war.
And then ask women why they
should be interested to a league of
peace?
Women Stiver Most From War.
If there is any body of citizens ia
the world who ought to be Interested
In a league to ultimately bring to the
world peace it Is tbo mothers of men.
and the women who suffered as only
women can suffer la the war and to
devastated countriea
And w-e call upon them, we women
of the world call upon the men who
have been fighting ail these battles of.
the years, the men who have led'
armies, and led armies close to their
deaths-
We are dow calling upon the men
of the world to to some way or an-
other find a jassage out of tbe sea of
death We are asking them to form
a league which will bring hope to the
women of the furore. If women are '
to bear sons only that they may die.
if women miy not have hope;
and aspirations for their children,'
if women may not dream the dreams
that have In them tbe hope of ih*
Ligtes; civilizations, tbe highest moral
mi spiritual life of the people—if wo-
men may not have these ia their
hearts as the mothers of men. then
women will cease to desire to be the
mothers of men. And why sb-uid
