In the couise of his immks Senator Kellogg expressed regret at what he characterized as the lack of deposition of President Wilson to deal more frank ly with tho people and tho Senate re garding his vlewB on problems coming before the peace conference. Pointing out that a league of nations to ptop all wars had been a ' favorite themo for discussion by benevolent pub licists nnd Matesmen for 11000 veats" Senator Kellogg eald that its failure t dato need not be dltvouraglng and that public sentiment has advanced until an International alliance for maintenance of peaco now may bo considered feasible. "I believe the timo has come," he said, lo try to establish n. lcaguo to prevent lwnr arid enforce peace, which may not bo entirely preventive, but, backed j by a world-public sentiment, will have a tremendous Influence towaid maintain ing just and equitable relations between nations and preventing tho horrors of vr. "But I am not In favor of an Imprac ticable, I might say nn impossible, scheme that I be"vo rest" in tho brain of the dreamer and tho womb of the far distant future. Nn league of nations e.an succeed unless It is originated In and sustained by an honest public sentiment of tho peoples involved and unless tho Governments Joining In such lcaguo are as responsive as tho people. These con ditions exist today to a greater extent than ever before.' Itegardlng President Wilson'tl action on peaco questions. Senator Kellogg said: "I deplore what seems to bo the dis position of tho President not to take the American pcoplo Into his confidence, especially that body of the supreme leg islative power of tho nation, the co ordinate treaty making body tho United States Senate. So far as possible we should know his views upon the difficult problems which must be settled In Paris. I would have the world Informed as to the progress of the negotiations and tho principal issues Involved from time to tlmo between nations surrounding the council table. It is only In this way that a healthy public sentiment can be expressed and a peaco arrived at which shall meet the judgment of the civilized world." Turning to concrete plans for a league of nations, Senator Kellogg said unless Germany evolves a government respon slvo to popular will, and with a people having Ideals nnd aspirations different from those of the past regime, there must be a league of nations to "eo that Germany Is rendered powerless to renew the contest." Another Important step Senator Kel logg said. Is abolition of tho system of secret treaties and alliances. The new treaties, ho said, should be "mado in tlie open." The Minnesota Senator said he was opposed to a league established as a. "world supergovernment with legisla tures and Judicial tribunals." No league, he asserted, should have power to inter fere with foreign trade, tariff dutlo"", commerco regulations, development or disposition of national resources or other Internal affairs. Senator Kellogg said he believed gen eral sentiment favors a league by treaty, providing not onljt for mediation, but binding signatory powers to offer media tion to contending nations, and establish ing commissions for Investigation.

Tho landscape was much like that at home. Just before reaching the wood wo passed through a picturesque ravine and as I reached tho higher ground on tho opposite side 'there was a terrific explosion. "I was blown Into the air and when I fell to tho ground I realized I had been blinded. Blood was flowing down my faco and, knowing that I could not handle my company. I turned It over to a sergeant and crawled back to the rear." Lieutenant Schoblo is thirty-one years old and won his commission at Fort Niagara training camp.
