II. S. Peace Stand Praised by Winner of Wilson Prize \ isrount Cecil Declares Inter national Co-operation Has Advanced “Marvelously” in Five Years. (Coniiniieil From I'asn One.) them on the road to agreement, ami that function was most successfully accomplished In Ihe Corfu case." The speaker listed Ihe activities of ihe league, calling attention to the fact that in the first eight months of 1024, 7(1 International conferences hail met in Geneva, lie praised especial ly the league's action in taking up health questions and in warring against epidemics and the drug evil ^it must yet attack the traffic in a women snd children and the publica tion of obscene literature, he said. After dwelling on the political dis putes arbitrated before Ihe league. Viscount Cecil spoke of its work in , ' ihe rehahiliation of Austria and Hun gary and its success in hacking the Greek loan. Dawes Plan on League Principles. He asserted that, although the Dawes plan was devised entirely with out the sphere of the league, it was founded on principles similar to those , advocated by the league. "To my mind,” he said, "what 1 hope will he the great success of the Dawes scheme is just as much a result of the new international conception for which Woodrow Wilson stood as any thing that has been done by the league itself." The treaties signed by various cen tral European nations to remove dis crimination against racial and Unguis tic minorities within their borders. Vlseount Cecil said, formed one of the greatest achievements of the league. He also praised the work of the In lernatinnal labor office and the per manent court of international jus - tire. Disarmament, Viscount Cecil said was one of the outstanding problems yet to be solved. "Certainly It Is a paradox of a startling character,” he asserted, •■that we should recognize that deal ing with such things as cocaine and opium is so dangerous to humanity that it ought to be the, subject of in ternational control, but we have made very little effort so far to supervise "veil In the most elementary way Ihe international trade in instruments ex pressly designed to slaughter and rail •Mate our fellow men." Urges Compulsory Arbitration. Viscount Cecil praised the work of ihe Washington conference, but said that there remained to be dealt with lie “rest of the naval problem, cruis ers anl submarines and the whole of tlie land and air forces of the world." Compulsory arbitration of ail inter national disputes, he said, was an 'Integral part of any world wide dis armament plan. "Disarmament Is Ihe goal to which In 11 Intelligent lovers of pence mils! desire to tend," he said, "but the dlf fhulties in the way are prodigious and it will n"ed all the new spirit of i which I have spoken to speure sue ■ ess. To me the fact that the proh l«m is taken seriously and Is now being grappled \vith is In Itself an ini mense encouragement, and I look con fidently forward to substantial ad vances being actually secured in the course of the next few months." Viscount Cecil was presented with the award and medal by Norman H. V" Is, who presided at the dinner. "To Woodrow Wilson must be giv en the chief credit for ibis organized system of international co-operation," Mr. Davis said, "and to Lord Cecil that of collaborating effectively with him in Its creation and of developing II and making it work. Lord Cecil stands out ss one of Ihe few' who worked In all the fields of Interna tional life for higher standards of ethics and a better understanding he tween nations." Cecil "Wilson’s Successor." Mr. Davis hailed the guest of honor us "Woodrow Wilson s spiritual sue eesaor," when he presented him with the medal which had been designed by Ivan Mestrovlc, a Jugoslav S'lllplnr. Among those at the speakers’ table were: I'nlleri States Senator Thomas .1. Walsh, Henry Morgenthau, David !•'. Houston, Gen. Trnsker II. Blins, Sir EsniP Howard. Franklin D. Roose velt, Thomas W.

Yea, air, It certainly looked bad for that young Otter fighting with Yowl er the Rob Oat. It certainly did look bad. It looked very much aa If In the end Yowler would have that, dinner of tender, young Otter for which he waa fighting. Such a snarling and spit ting! Such a thraahlng about In tha anow aa they rolled over and over! Never had Y’nwlcr fought harder. But though he waa ao busy with teeth and clawa, he never once forgot to keep hla eats open. He never once forgot to listen for sounds that might warn him of the approach of I.lttle .loe Ootter or Mrs, Otter. He knew j that they were not ao far away but that they might hear that fight. So It waa that with a sudden wrench he tore himself free, and with a screech of disappointment and anger bounded to the nearest tree and climbed It. He was Just In time and that was all. Snarling, her eves blaring with anger, Mrs. Otter plunged down the trail and behind her rnme Little Joe Otter. Jlnil they succeeded In reach ing Yowler the Oreen Forest would have known him no more. Mrs. Otter paid no attention to him. She rushed straight to the yoiini; Otter sod began to lick her wounds Slid tried to comfort her.

Yowler didn't come down. He was far too wise to do that. And so all that Little Joe could do was to snarl and sp.t back at him and tell him what he would do for him If ever he had the chance.

As soon as Mrs. Otter was sure of this she called to IJttle Joe, and regret fully IJttle Joe left the foot of that tree and once more led the way along the trail. This time Mrs. Otter was the last one. She kept behind the two young OttPrs. She didn't Intend to give them a chance to get into more trouble. As for the young Oltcr, never was there one more meek. She had had a lesson she would never forget. She smarted and ached, hut she knew that she deserved it. She knew It was wholly hecuse of her willfulness and disobedience. "I'll never, never disobey again,” she kept saying over and over to her self. "I’ll never, never disobey again I guess I don't know as much about the Great World as T thought I did. rtuchl That fellow's teeth and claws were sharp. I—I—I wish I hadn't thought myself so smart. I wonder who that fellow is, anyway." Before th s she had been too busy lo even wonder who she had been righting with. But now she wanted to know who this enemy was. And so at ihe first chance she asked her mother. "That was Yowler the Bob Cat." re plied Mrs. Otter. "He is the greatest sneak in the Green Forest. He wouldn't have dared to touch yout father or me I wish we had been In time to catch him.
