the league of nations from England
to the Lmted States, and here is
history of that trip, if you wish it."
The distinguished man of letters
handed out a typewritten copy
which he had dictated himself, and
which is printed elsewhere in this
paper. , '
Line Up for Photos.
Dr. Van Flvlfff tr Mnron(lii
President Lowell of Harvard and
Mr. Kosewater visited in one com
i partment of the car while Mr. Taft
talked to the reporters in another.
Then Mr. Taft out on his lone, fuf-
collared overcoat and high silk hat
ana tne rest ot the party arrayed
ihemselves for the cold wind and
went forth to face the photograph
ers. Soon everybody was lined up
but Mr. Taft, who had taken Mr.
Rosewater one side for a confer
"Hurry up, Mr. TaTt; it's cold'
called Dr. Van Dyke. .
The ex-president quickly got in
line. - N
Then Mrs. Luther Kountze ap
peared and begged the distinguished
party to come in to the canteen in
the station. And thither they went.
Mrs. Kountze and a corps i( other
"canteeners" and a number of sol
diers were there.
"Can't I serve you with a eup of
coffee?" Mrs. "Kountze asked Mr.
Morgenthau.
"Yes, indeed, you can," said the
famous ambassador. And he sat
down to the counter and drank it.
Another Photo and Cone.
The newspaper photographers
were still "on the job," and now)
they commanded Mr. Taft to sit at
ine counter aiso. Air. J. alt, pre
tending to be very "grouchy," sat
down on one of the stools.
"Take a cup of coffee in your
hand," one of the Dhotoeraohers
called.
"How you just go ahead and snap
me ordered "Bill." "You feows
are' always too histrionic. The
Taftonian lauch hurst out. The
flashlight flashed and then Mr.' Taft
ambled off with Mr. Rosewater back
to where the two special cars had
been attached to the Wabash St.
Louis train. And scarcely were all
the famed men back on board when
the bell ransr. the whistle tooted and
tbey were gone.
Talks in Nebraska.
The nartv scattered the seed, of
league of nations along the way yes
terday through Nebraska. The
train stopped a few minutes at Kear
ney, Grand Island, Central City, Co
lumbus and Fremont and sneeches
were made at each place from the
rear platform.
Altogether on this tour we have
talked to about 170,000 people," Dr.
Van Dyke said.
What about Senator Sherman's
statement that the tour is being
financed by Andrew Carnecrie?" Dr.
Van Dyke was asked.
"Absolutely false!" he exclaimed.
"It is being financed by the League
to Enforce Peace itself. None of us
gets any pay whatever, excepting,
ot course, tne secretaries and sten
ographers." "You don't get much time to do
any literary work now, do you, Dr.
Van Dyke?"
"Not much," he said. "Still, I
have a book coming out next month,
'The Valley of Vision.' It is not
war stories though some of them
have a war background."
Morgenthau on Turkey.
Henry Morgenthau, who made
such a splendid record as ambassador-to
Turkey, declared his belief
that it is Turkey's fate to be dis
membered. "It will be cut up and
there v, 11 be no more Turkey in Eu
rope, in my opinion, he said.
"You were always the good
friend of the Turks, were you not?"
"I was," said Mr. Morgenthau,
"until they murdered 1,000,000 Ar
menians. I do not want to be the
friend of murderers."
Besides the members already
mentioned these were in the party:
Prof. George Grafton Wilson, Ed
ward A. Filene, Dr. Charles R.
Brown, dean of the School of Re
ligion at Yale university; Mrs.
Philip North Moore, Capt. Thomas
Chamberlain. Also a number of of-1
ficials of the League to Enforce
Peace.
The St. Louis congress for a
league of nations, to which the
party is en route, will be held today
and tomorrow. Then the final con
gress at Atlanta will be held Feb

trial Workers of the Wo Id. All are
Spaniards and nine of them are
aliens.
Secret service men here attach
more importance to the arrest in

Florien Medina Veitia and Elario
Orestissa, than to the roundup of
the 10 Spaniards in this city. In
their rooms liere were found about
200 pounds of anarchist and social

cals, it is said, dropped a hint of the
assassination - plot. The agent
learned that two men were to be
sent from this city to New York as
the assassins. All the government
agencies in both cities immediately
turned to the task of foiling the
Spanish terrorists.

tal punishment never deterred any
one else from crime," she said.
"One wrong never righted an
other," said Mrs. C'W. Hayes.
Mrs. Baker argued against it on the
score of judges and wardens who
never got over the experience of
participating in a legalized crime
Mrs. E. B. Towl said society shared
in tne criminal s delinquency.
Mrs. J. H. Dumont upheld the
negative, "We need a drastic pun
ishment and lifetime sentence in the
penitentiary is worse than capital
punishment," she said.
The department voted to support
the bill for the abolishment.
The club women wired Senator
Hitchcock requesting him to vote
in favor of the amendment to the
army appropriation bill conferring
military rank on army nurses.
A spirited debate on forms of so
called "modern recreation" occupied
the program hour following the busi
ness meeting.
Mrs. D. G. Craighead made the
stellar speech, declaring modern
recreational movements more ener
vative than recreation.
"The community is takinor awav
all responsibility of the home in
education, character-building, in
everything. l'retty soon the only
responsibility parents will hold will
be that of bringing children into the
world and paying the taxes. The
state will do the rest," she said
"Home now is only a place to eai
and sleep.
"We are running riot in our de
sire for recreation overdoing and
over-stimulating, amusement, creat
ing a restless, dissatisfied race with
no conception of the value of rest
or quiet."
"Supervised playgrounds are bet
ter than the streets but not better
than the backyard under mothrr'f
watchful,' eve, she said.
Mrs. E) E. Staufield was an able
second. "Children have been taught
to play so long and have been kept
amused so much they don't know
how to play naturally themselves
any more. Their idea' of having a
good time is to go to the movies or
ask mother for money to buv ice
cream cones or to do a few danc
ing steps taught bv fancy dancinu
teachers," she said.
Children Like Play.
Miss Lora Molhy and Mrs. W. T.
More of the Y. W. C. A. and Canrn
Fire girl's group defended the play
instinct.
"We all have a gregarious in
stinct. That s why vou attend meet
ings of the Woman's chilis. It's as
much an emotional spree to go to
a political barbacue as is cock fight
ins: amonsr the Filipinos. VVronar
forms of amusement can be replaced
by healthful sports," said Miss
Molby.
