WORLD LEAGUE, SAYS SHAW:
- |
Continued From Page 1 :
Great Bitain, Fravice and Giermany there can be no;
peace in the world, afid, consequently, no League of Na-|
tions in the “ense now contemplated.
Anything short of this would be simply the present)
offensive and defensive allianee made permanent. By
the aceeptance of the faurteen points, and the accept-|
ance of an armistice (’\'7rtually a surrender) on their|
basis, these fonr conntries have consented to the League|
in prineiple. '
And it i clear that when the League is once 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 Leagne with South America, need not be too cnrirr’
ously considered; for they would certainly not hold]
atoof with any purpose of peviving the wars of religion |
against the new crystatlization of the Protestant North. |
They would be friendly.
Prankly, on the-seore of an nundeniable het»mgmmf
8y of temperament, the combination might be more
warkable withont them. The northern (-nmhinatinn!
world be strong enough to hegin with; and enough is
The danger of biting off more than we can chew is'
very-obvious; superfluous strength wonld be dearly pur
dhased at the eost of a great increase of friction.
CLEMENCEAU AND WILSON.
Wenow see that the difference hetween Mr. Wilson
and M. Olemeneean, declared in the three days’ debate
in the French Chamber, which began on December 27,
is not so irreeancilable as it seems.
Mr. Wilson said: ‘“‘lf the future had nothing for
us but a new attempt to keep the world at the right
poise by a balance of power, the United States would
take no interest, beeause she will join 16 eombination of
power whieh is not a combination of As&: us.
' M. Clemeneeau said : e
‘“There is an old system, the balance of power,
to which I remain faithful. This system seems to
be now condemned; but if such a balanee of power
- had preceded the war, and if Britain, America,
France and Italy had agreed to say that whoever
attacked one of themn 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. 1 shall make all possi
ble saerifices to this end.” DY Y
Now, as between the alliance thus desiderated by
M. Clemencean and a Klootzian League of the Humen|
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 allianee to maintain the bal
ance of power in favor of peace as against war, and of!
democracy as against autoeracy and oligarchy.
OLD ALIIANCE WAS UNSTABLE.
! may add that the alliance under the old system
wed unstable, and failed to prevent the war. M.
%mu said truly that “If Britain, Amerieca,
! and Ifaly had agreed to say that whoever at
tacked one of them would be attacking the whole world,
this atrocious war would not have taken place.”
But this was just what not one of them could be
persuaded to do at any price. | already have deseribed
how 1 urged that such a declaration shou]dv:‘o made by
Britain eighteen months hefore the war, and how even
eighteen hours before the war, with the powder actually
catehing fire, Lord Grrey sfill could not be persuaded to
declare that Britain would fight, even to maintain Bel
gian neutrality. |
M. Clemenceau can not forget the memorable ox-t
plosion of relief in the Fremeh Chamber when, afterl
waiting unti! it was too late to prevent the war and balk'
the British lion, Lord Grey at last sprang his ambush. |
Russia, treacherously governed, collapsed in ruins|
after precipitating the war by her mobilization.
Italy prudently waited until her price went up to
the fighting point.
America did net move uniil Northern Franee and
Belgium were blasted tracts of ruin.
This sort of an alliance can hardly be what M.
Clemenceau means when he says: ““There is an old sys
tem to which I remain faithful.”
He might as well say that he remains faithful to tho‘
ruins of Rheims and to the condemnation of a million
Frenchmen to die that England may live. oo l
We, theréfore, need consider no further what the
League of Nations will be. It can not possibly be more
than a League of Nations with common ends and eom
mon interests. What does remain to be considered is
how far they will be able to agree to surrender fhf‘il"
sovereign rights to their common organizations.

Girls of Salvation
Army Proved Valor
On the Firing Line
(By International News Service.) 1
NEW YORK; Feb. 15.—The hero
ism of Salvation Army girls while
“feeding doughboys doughnuts at.
the front,” was deseribed in ar ad
dress here toduy before the League
of Political Eduecation by Mids
Mvangeline Booth head of the Sal
vation” Army in the United States,
Misst Booth thrilled her audience
with # word picture of a micnight
scene in the front-line trenches,
Shells were falling and bursting,
Above thelgcoarser sounds of war
rose the call of a Salvation Army
lassie,
“Hot, cocoa, doughnuts for dough
boys'”
" A colonel commanding the Amer
ican unit in the section ordered the
girl and her co-worker to retire to
safety, .
“We can not leavée these men,”
the girl repiied simply. ‘“They are
here to die for us. Surely we ean
die for them. Please, colonel, do
not give us these orders.”
Moved by the «arnestness of the
girl and }:fv bravery, the eolonel re
lented and his men received the co
coa and dougnnuts,
Miss Booth also told of a letter
received from the late Colonel ¢
Roosevelt recounting part of a note
from oné of his sons at the frut.
The son's letter toid of the res®™ie
by a @alvation Army major of u,
dying doughboy in No Man’s Land,
‘We are accustomed to hard
ships,” Miss Booth added, after re
citing some of the decds of other
Salvation Army workeérs. “Ours is
not a flower-strewn path to Heaven. .
Ours is an army of soldiers fighting
in the greatest %f world's strug
gles.”

€arl Hutcheson, of counsel for Fred
A. Straub, formerly a fireman connect
ed with Engine Company No. 11, who
on Monday préferred bitter chargoes
against Chief W. B. Cody, made public
last night two additional papers relating
to the pending investigation of the de
partment. One of the papérs was an
afidavit from a former chauffeur for
Mr, Cody, charging him with negli
fence, in_connection with the big fire .in
917, and with ordering the subsmuthm
of false alarms to make a -good showing,
and the other was & request to the fire
masters to grant immunity to any fire
men Mr. Hutcheson might call to tes
tify at the public hearing seheduled for
next Wednesday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock.
Mr. Hutcheson said he probably weuld
subpena more than 100 witnesses, many
of whom are members of the fire de
partment, and hé said that such men
would naturally feel timid gabout tes
tifying if they felt that their testimony
might place their jobs in ‘]e'opardy. He
said he expected to file his request for
immunity with the board early Monday
morning. ,
Charges False Reports.
The affidavit charging Chief Cody with
negligence and with falsifwing alarm
recoeds is sigsed by W. H. Chambers,
now_ of Savwah, who says_ he drove
for Mr. Cody Tor ten years. Its text is
as follows: ‘
. “This Is to certity that I, W, H,
Chambers, who had served ten years as
driver for« Chief ("ody in the fire depart
ment im the city of Atlanta, wish to
maké the following statement refuting
the statement made by Chief Cody,
which iz as follows;
“First, the case of the West End fire,
May 21, 1917. 1 wish to state that when
we got to this fire there were two
houges burning znd Chie! Cody ordered
me to call two extra wagons. I did so
immediately, He ran to the telephone
and called two more wagons. The op
eratgr told him that he had just sent
in for two, and he said he did not care,
send him some more wagons. One of
these wagons was No. 15, from the
lower end of West Peachtree street,
which made the distance of about four
and one-half (4%) miles and never laid
out a foot of hose after {t got there,
and the result of pulllnfi these two ex
tra wagons to West End and not using
them was when the big fire started they
had all in West End and none left to
send to Decatur street fire.
Alleged Harshness.
‘T also wish to state further that it is
reported that Chief Cody was never
harsh to his men, On the other hand,
I was associated with him fourteen
years and I stood it just as long as 1
could. The abuse was at times un
bearable, so much so that after the
fourteen years 1 was forced to leaye
the department on account of his abuse.
“I wish to state further that I am the
one who made U{) the report for the
insurance companies, which was a very‘
ted;pus job, and I had to ofttfmes fill in
items to“suit Chief Cody and I had to
substitute false alarms to suit the oc
caslon and to make the report show
good for him.
"lrrtheh bonr;l of “nremut:l:;‘ geltigg
any ther information reg: n
dfl‘n‘oa‘l‘fl n and treatment of Chief Cody
of his 180'0 under him [ will cheerfully
give it to this board. b
