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

Cafe Proprietor Shocked When His
Patron Pays $100 for One Cup of Coffee
i One hundred dollar* for a cup
of coffee.
That sounds unreasonable, at
least.
But that Is the price which one
cup of coffee brought In the res
taurant of Roy Wroth, 311 South
Seventeenth street Saturday.
It was dinner time. The usual
run of patrons had arrived for their
meals. The waiters in the restau
rant were busily taking and filling
orders.
Through the front door stepped
a well dressed stranger. There was
but one vacant table and he select
ed that, sat down and waited.
Three times waiters cam* to him
and asked for his order.
Orders Cup of Coffee.
"Only Roy can wait on me," he
answered each of them.
Then Roy stepped up to the
table. The patron ordered one cup
of coffee. It was served and he
drank it, making no comment,
from a well filled pocket he ex
tracted a $ 100 note. This he
handed to Wroth.
"This Isn't a bank. Pay me
later some time. I can't change
that,” the proprietor declared.
"I didn't ask for change,'' the
stranger answeed. "You did me
a favor one time and this will re
pay a little of what I owe you."
Introduction* in Order.
Then followed introductions and
reminiscences. The stranger, it
developed, was Jack McQuillen,
who. Wroth declares, is a son of
the late Patrick .1. McQuillen, for
years a bailiff at the. courthouse.
Jack Mi Quillen hail, as a young
ster, sold papers on the streets ot
Omaha. In those days Roy Wroth
was his partner. They had not
seen each other since 1SH2.
After purchasing the cup of cof
fee McQuillen sat for some time in
the restaurant. As the newsboys
csme In with their afternoon sup
ply of papers McQuillen would
seize the papers, shove some
money Into the hand of the urchin
and assure hint "that it was all
right."

Pastor Discards “Bundles” of
Sins to Be Left Behind in
192.>—Names Virtues to
Be Desired.
A toy wagon, patterned after the
covered wagon, was used by the Itev.
Ada Anderson at the Plymouth Con
gregational church Sunday.
l'slng the. toy wagon as the basis
of her subject, "The Covered AVa
gon," Rev. Airs. Anderson said ‘'AVe
are now standing at the cross roads:
let us look into our equipment and
see what bundles we should take
with us and what we should throw
away.”
The first •'hunille” she discarded
from the toy' wagon was one mark
ed "Procrastination.'1
"This bundle has wrapped Into It
the desire to waste other people's
lime, the delay to speak kind, help
ful words until It Is too late, and the
failure io keep our appointments,”
Rev. Mrs. Anderson said.
“Careless Tongue” Criticized.
The next bundle taken out of the
miniature covered wagon was labeled
“Careless Tongue.”
"Careless tongue means Baying un
kind, I'nj.iUient, irritating yvords
and yvhile lies. Too many of us are
saying harsh words about our fel
low men,” she said. "Refrain from
forming the habit of using harsh and
hasty Judgments of your felloyv
men.”
The third bundle laken from the
wagon yvas decla,red by Rev. Mrs.,
Anderson to be the "biggest load of
all.”
"This bundle is (he one that Is |
always I,’" she said. The bundle)
had the letter "I” wrUtefc^il over It.]
"Too many persons thing of them ]
selves first. They say. 'AVhat I yvant
to do. AVhat good will It do me?
AA’hat can 1 get out of It? I will not
have anything to do with it unless
I have It my way.'
Scores Conceit.
"There Is too much pride, conceit,
vain glory and selfish pleasure. AA'e
will yvrap them In this bundle and
discard it before we take the jour
ney through 1925," she declared.
She said sins like the three In the
discarded packages are the "little
foxes that spoil the vines of charac
ter.”
Three packages would be placed
Into the covered yvagon for the com
ing year according to Rev. Mrs. An
demon.
First, she would place a Bible In
the yvagon, saying "It is tlie most
important thing. It contains the
road map*, It Is the guide book and
the book of rules of life.”
AVoulil Include Mirror.
Second, she would Include a park
age containing a large mirror. "A
mirror will show you ugly lines. It
will show you whether the corners
of y-our mouth turn down or if your
forehead Is wrinkled. The wav to
lose a frown is to look into a mirror
and then laugh. Smile all the way|
through 1925," she urged.
The, package to be taken an
the wagon Journey through 1925
would be a large red heart.
"AVe will need a heart full of love
during the 1925 Journey," she told
the congregation. "If I ran carry
a heart full of love this year, all will
be well for love Is the fulfilling of
the law."
The wagon was donated to the
church by the Omaha Scott Tent A
Awning company.
