(By ML Clemens News Bureau)
Aboard President Wilson's Special
Train From the Capital at Washing
ton to the far Pacific coast the Presi
dent of the United States has Jour
neyed on the most unusual expedition
Yer undertaken by a chief executive
of the nation.
To discuss national questions, many
presidents have toured the land; but
Mr. Wilson Is laying before America
question which affects the whole
world the question of whether or not
Ve are to Join In the League of Na
tions; whether we are to forget our
former Isolation and share with the
other peoples of the earth the respon
sibilities of maintaining civilization
and preventing, as he says we can do,
future warfare.
Between the capital and the coast
the president made fifteen speeches
and half a dozen brief talks. AH of
100,000 fellow citizens listened to him.
Several millions had the chance to see
htm, and apparently everyone wanted
to see him, from those who thronged
the streets of the cities and towns
where he stopped, to those who came
to the rallslde or stood at little flag
stations In remote places, knowing
their only reward could be a fleeting
glimpse and a wave of the hand.
He has met and talked to all types
,t citizens to men big In the busi
ness, financial and professional worlds,
to farmers and mechanical workers.
to Indians and cowboys and foreign-
born herders and rangers, to soldiers
and to mothers who lost soldier-sons
In the late war.
What do they all tell him? unani
mously they say they want peace
definitely settled, they want no more
wars, they want the League of Na
tions, and most of the American peo
ple, It may be fairly said, tell the
President they want the League Just
as it Is, without the reservations or
amendments which certain senators
have Insisted upon. The majority of
citizens say to those who interview
them ononis tour:
"Woodrow Wilson guided us rightly
before and during the war with Ger
many. We entered that war, every
one agrees, to end all wars. He says
the league can do that. We want to
do that, so let us keep on trusting him
and get the league into operation as
eoon as possible. Forget politics."
Most Americans encountered on the
tour have forgotten politics. Repub
lican Governors and Mayors have In
troduced the President to his audi
once; the Major part of the local com
mittees which have met him have
4een Republicans. They have all said:
We are nothing but Americana, Mr.
President"
Mr. Wilson's arguments for the
league, briefly summarized, are those:
There can be no peace, either now
or In the future, without It. There
an only be a regrouping of nations
and a new "Balance of Power," which
la certain to lead to war. There can
be no war In the future, with the
league In existence, because no single
nation would defy the united rest of
mankind, and It It did, it could be
brought to terms by an economic
boycott, and without the use of arms.
There can be no reduction In the
oost of living until the league Is es
tablished, for nations will not go
ahead with peace time production un
til they know that peace Is definitely
assured and that production of war
material Is no longer necessary.
There can be wonderful prosperity,
with the league In existence, for rel
ations of labor and capital all over
the world will be made closer and
more friendly, and the worker will re
ceive a fairer share of what he pro
duces. These declaration of the president,
logically and eloquently put, have left
his hearers thinking and thinking
deeply. And then Mr? Wilson has
pointed out, the people themselves, as
differentiated from senators and politi
cians, seem to want Just what the
president wants, which Is America for
leadership.
Quite as unusual as the purpose of
the cross country tour is the manner
In which It Is being carried out and
the completeness of the arrange
ments on the nine car train which la
bearing the party.
At the rear Is the private car May
flower, occupied by the President and
Mrs. Wilson. Next Is a compartment
car for the secretary Tumulty, Ad
miral Grayson, Mr. Wilson's Physi
cian, four etenographers, the chief
executive clerk and seven secret ser
vice men. Byond are three compart
ment cars which house twenty-one
correspondents, five movie men, and

A Salvation Amy Tambourine
Lassie? .
Yes, but take the last look at her
smiling face. She becomes extinct in
Nebraska and in every section of the
United States after this month. She
passes away when the Salvation
Army begins to operate on a business
basis.
No longer will the Jingle of the
little tambourine tinkle its plea for
free-will offerings. There was a Unit
when it tinkled Its plea for free-will
offering through' swinging doors of
gayly lighted saloons and cabarets, or
clink its way at the street corners.
For thirty years the tambourine lassie
lias bwn a familiar sight. She visited
brightly lighted haunts where men
a ml women gathered In their quest
for pleasure, and thertj held out her

work that of giving advice and aid
to the needy. The vanishing of the
tambourine girl Is coupled with the
Salvation Army campaign to raise
