WORLD LEAGUE, SAY SHAW
Continued From Page 1
Great Bitain, France and Germany there can be no;
peace in the world, and, consequently, no League of Na-|
thons in the sense now contemplated. 3
Anything short of this would be simply the present !
offensive and defensive alliance made permanent. By
the acceptance of the fourteen points, and the aceept
ance of an armistice (virtually a surrender) on their|
basis, these fonr countries have consented to the lu-ugm-g
in principle. i
And it & clear that when the League is once formed |
and believed to be genuine, Belgium, Holland, I)vn-i
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 Ameriea, need not bhe too curi-|
ously considered: for they would certainly not holdi
atoof with any purpose of reviving the wars of r¢~|igiun’
against the new crystatlization of the Protestant North. |
They would be friendly. ,
Prankly, on the-seore of an undeniable heterogene-
Ry of temperament, the combination might be mmw-%
workable without them. The northern combination|
would be strong enough to begin with; and enough ig’
emongh.
The danger of ‘biting off more than we can chew is!
wery-obvious; superfluous strength would be dearly pur
dhased at the eost of a great increase of friction.
CLEMENCEAU AND WILSON.
Wemnowsee that the.difference between Mr. Wilson
and M. Clemencean, declared in the three davs’ debate
m the French Chamber, which began on December 27,
is'not so irreeoncilable as it seems.
Mr. Wilson sadd: “‘lf the future had nething for
ws but a new attempt to keep the world at the right
poise by a balance of power, the Unim States would
take no mterest, because she will join v&nmfinfitiun of
power whieh is not a combination of alFéf s, ‘
M. Clemencean said: .
“There is an old system, the balanee of power, |
to which | remain faithful. This system scems to
be 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 ghiding
thought at the Conference. [ shall léxéxl&fi;d.l WQ‘N
ble saerifices to this end.” e -
Now, as between the alliance thus desiderated by
M. Clemencean 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 as 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.
(lemencean said truly that ‘“lf Britain, Ameriea,
France and Italy had agreed to say that whoever at-l
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 I urged that such a declaration should be made by
Britain eighteen months before the war, and how even
eighteen hours before the war, with the powder actually |
eatehing fire, Lord Grey still could not he persuaded to|
declare that Britain would fight, even to maintain BvL”
gian neutrality. T |
M. Clemenceau can not forget the memorable nx-li
plosion of relief in the French Chamber when, afterli
waiting until 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.
ltaly prudently ®aited until her price went up to
the fighting point.
America did not move until Northern Franee and
Belgium were blasted tracts of ruin.
. This sort of an alliance can hardly be what M.
Clemenceau means when he says: “T'here is an old sys-l
tem to which | remain faithful.”
He might as well say that he remains faithful to the
rmus of Rheims and to the condemnation of a million
Frenchmen to die that England may live,
We, therefore, need consider no further what the
lmgly' of Nations will be. It can not possibly be mun-l
than a League of Nations with common ends and com
mon terests, What does remain to be considered is
how far thev will be able to agree to surrender thvirl
severeign rights to their common organizations.

Girls of Salvation
|
Army Proved Valor
On the Firing Line
(By International News Service.) |
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—~The hero
ism of SBalvation Army girls while
“feeding doughboys doughnuts at
the front,” was deseribed in an ad- ‘
dress here toduy before the Loague |
of Political BEducation by Miss
livangeline Booth head of the Sal
vation Army in the United States. |
Miss Booth thrilled her audience |
with 2 word picture of a micnight
scene in the front-line trenches.
Shells were falling and bursting.
Above the coarser sounds of war
rose the call of a Salvation Army
lassie,
“Hot cocoa, doughnuts for dough
boys!'” 1
A colonel commanding the Amer
lean unit in the section ordered the ‘
girl and her co-worker to retire to |
safety. !
“We can not leave these men,”
the girl replied simply. “They are
here to die for us. Surely we can
die for them. Please, colonel, do
not give us these orders.”
Moved by the ~arnestness of the
girl and her bravery, the colonel re
lented and his men received the co
coa and dougnnuts,
Miss Booth also told of a letter
received from the Jate Colonel
Roosevelt recounting part of a note
from one of his sons at the front.
The son’s letter toid of the rescue
by a Salvation Army major of a
dying doughboy in No Man's Land
“We are accustomed to hard
#hips,” Miss Booth added, after re
citing some of the dea2ds of other
Salvation Army workers. “Ours is
not a flower-strewn path to Heaven.
Gurs is an army of soldiers fighting
in the greatest of world's strug
gles.”

’ Carl Hutcheson, of counsel for Fred
'A. Straub, formerly a fireman connect
ied with Engine Company Neo. 11, who
on Monday preferred bitter charges
‘against Chief W. B, Cody, made public
last night two additional papers rerating
to the pending investigation of the de
partment. One of the papers was an
affidavit from a former chauffeur for
Mr. Cody, charging him with negli
gence in connection with the big fire in
1917, and with ordering the substitution
of false alarms to make a good showing,
and the other was a request to the fire
masters to grant immunity to any fire
men Mr. Hutcheson might call to tes
tify at the public hearing scheduled for
next Wednesday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock,
| Mr. Hutcheson said he ,)robably would
subpena more than 100 w tnesses, many
of whom are members of the fire de
partment, and he said that such men
would naturally feel timid about tes
tifying if they felt that their testimony
might place their jobs in jeopardy. He
sald he expected to file his request for
immunity with the board early Monday
morning.
Charges False Reports,
The affidavit charging Chjef Cody with
negligence and with falsifying alarm
records is sigmed by W. H. Chambers,
now of .\'av:u*mh. who says he drove
for Mr, Cody for 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 Cody in the fire depart
ment in the city of Atlanta, wish to
make 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
houses burning and Chief Cody ordered
me to call two extra wagons. I did so
immediately. He ran to the telephone
and calledq two more wagons. The op
erator 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}2) miles and never laid
out a foot of hose after it got there,
and the result of pulling these two ex
tfa wagons to West End and not using
them was when the big fire started they
had all in West Xnd 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
vears 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 I was forced to leave!
the department on account of his abuse,
“I wish to state further that I am the
one who made up the report for the
insurance companies, which was a very
tedious job, and T had to ofttimes 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.
“If the board of firemasters desire
any further information r?qrdlns the
disposition and treatment of Chief Cody
of his men under him 1 will cheerfully
give it to this board. .
