- WORLD LEAGUE, oY oHAW
! Continued From Page 1
Gireat Bitamn, France and Germanv there can be no
peace in the world, and, consequently, no League of Na
tions in the sense now contemplated.
Anything short of this would be simply the present
offensive and defensive alliance made permanent. By
the acceptance of the fourteen points, and the accept
ance of an armistice (virtnallyv a surrender) on their
basis, these four countries have consented to the Im:n;_',u:-
in principle.
And it 1s clear that when the League is onee formed
and believed to be genuine, Belgium, Holland, Den
mark, Norway and Sweden will join it automatically.
Whether Italy, Spain and Greece would commit
themselves at onee, or turn over the possibility of a sep
arate League with South America, need not be too curi
ously’ considered: for thev would certainly not hold
aloof with any purpose of reviving the wars of religion
against the new crystallization of the Protestant North.
They would be friendly..
Krankly, on the seore of an undeniable heterogene
ity of temperament, the combination might be more
workable without them. The northern ecombination
would be strong enough to begin with; and enough is
enough.
The danger of biting off more than we can chew is
very obvious; superfluous strength would be dearly pur
chased at the cost of a great increase of friction.
CLEMENCEAU AND WILSON.
We now see that the difference between Mr. Wilson
and M. Clemencean, declared in the three days’ debate
in the French Chamber, which began on December 27,
18 not so irreconcilable as it seems,
Mr. Wilson said: **lf the future had nothing for
= but a new attempt to keep the world at the right
poise by a balanee of power, the United States would
take no interest, because she will join e combination of
power whieh is not a combination of a.gg»l ug,”
M. Clemenceau said : % '
“There is an old system, the balance of power,
to which I remain faithful. This system seems to
he now condemned: but if such a balance of power
had preceded the war, and if Britain, America,
France and Italy had agreed to say that whoever
attacked one of them would be attacking the whole
world, this atrocious war would not have taken
place.
*“This system of alliance shall be my guiding
thought at the Conference. I shall make all possi
hle sacrifices to this end.”
Now, as between the alliance thus desiderated by
M. Clemenceau and a Klootzian League of the Human
Race, there is, fortunately, a hopeless incompatibility.
But between it and the practical form which a League
of Nations must take there is no incompatibility, be
cause the League will be an alliance to maintain the bal
ance of power in favor of peace as against war, and of
demoeracy ax against autocracy and oligarchy.
OLD ALLIANCE WAS UNSTABLE.
I may add that the alliance under the old system
proved unstable, and failed to prevent the war, M.
* Clemenceau said truly that “If Britain, America,
France and ltalv had agreed to say that whoever at
~ tacked one of them would be attacking th® whole world,
this atrocions war would not have taken place.”
But this was just what not one of them ecould be
persuaded to do at any price. | already have deseribed
how | urged that such a declaration should be made by
Britain cighteen months before the war, and how even
eighteen hours before the war, with the powder actually
eatehing fire, Lord Grey still eould not be persunaded to
deelare that Britain would fight, even to maintain Bel
gian neutrality,
M. Clemenceau can not forget the memorable ex
plosion of relief in the French Chamber when, after
waiting until it was too late to prevent the war and balk
the British lion, Lord Grey at, last sprang his ambush.
Russia, treacheronsly governed, collapsed in ruins
after precipitating the war by her mobilization,
Italy prudently waitted until her price went up to
the tighting point.
America did not move until Northern France and
Belgium were blasted tracts of ruin,
This sort of an alliance can hardly be what M,
Clemencean means when he sayvs: “T'here is an old sys
“tem to which | remain faithful,”
I 4 He might as well say that he remains faithful to the
ruins of Rheims and to the condemnation of a million
Frenchmen to die that England may live,
3 We, therefore, need eonsider no further what the
« League of Nations will be. Tt can not possibly be more
than a League of Nations with common ends and com
mon interests. What does remain to be considered is
how far they will be able to agree to surrender their
‘soyereign rights to their common organizations,

crazy. They scattercd that barrage
all over Eastern France—and us.”
“Yeah,” drawled another; “they tell
me that the- divigion's staff was
running round in circles—that was
what the real trouble was."” ;
“Well, all I know is that Jerry's
avions were coming over in flocks
and givin' us hell,” remarked another
“Gwan, your darned old machine
gun battalion was shootin’' straight
into the hill in front of 'em instead
of into the Germans on the other
side.”
“Yeah, mebbe, mebbe,” replied the
machine gunner. “But, say, them
doughboys of the —th walked through
it all like they wT goin’ coon hunt
in'. They walked right up and kicked
them Germans in the face.”
That is merely typical of hundreds
of lilke discussions that go on here |
every day. The doughboy can do no|
wrong. It is the testimony not only
of the Yanks themselves, but of thelrl
French instructors—yes, even of theitl
(ierman opponents.
I heard recently of a green replace
ment party that got sent up to the'
!!'runt line, It -was sent up through
one of those mistakqs that gave Ten-'
nyson a chance to make Balaklava‘
immortal. These men arrived at the
front line very raw. One man actual
ly killed himself with his own rifle,
But that green replacement detach
ment R'u.lked through a barrage of
artilley and machine-gun fire and
wiped out with the bayonet one of the
Ivmstiest machine gun nests in the
whole Argonne region.
That is an extreme incident, but it
tells the story. And the doughboy
does more than fight.
Many a time has a general's big
limousine been lifted out of the mud
of a shelled roadside—by the dough- |
hoys. Many a time has a swell avia
tor been tenderly carri;‘l from the
bullet-swept field wherd his injured
plane fell—by the neighboring infan
try. 3
“They tell me your medical corps
first-aid men have done wonders with
the attacking waves,” I said to a
medical corps captain the other eve
ning.
“Yes,” he said proudly, “they have.
They've carried on like heroes. But,
when it comes right down to cases 1
guess the men who have done the
best first aid, the most effective
prompt attendance on wounded men
under fire, are the doughboys them
celves,”
Anything to Do? Done!
And so it goes from the farthest
front line back over the lines of com
munication, into the service of the
supply to the base ports and out to!
