The sentiment of the persons down stairs revealed a decided preponderance of opinion against the league.

READERS DISCUSS LEAGUE OF NATIONS League Will Make World Better To the Editor of the Evening PuWio Ledger : Sir I wish to let you know how glad I am tha Evenino Public Ledger Is supporting so strongly the leaguo of nations plan, which I hope very soon will be In practical working form. I believe It will turn out to bo the very beBt act of legislation ever enacted to benefit suffering humanity, making bet ter living candltlons all over the world. This league will do Us work on the wholesale plan to allay unrest and dis content among tho people and so much bo that they will be satisfied to live in their own native country and end their lives there. I have lived In this city almost sixty-one years and in this tlmo I have found out there are money hogs among the working peoplo as well as among the capitalists. Tho "Golden Rule" I believe Is the remedy to reform theso selfish .people. This "Clolden Rule" has been In cold storage for many years, but I am glad to know It Is being more used today with good practical re sults than ever before.

Lansdowne, Pa March 10, No Room for Quitters To the Editor of the Evening Publio Ledger: Sir Responding Jo the Evening Pub lic Ledoeu's request for on expression of opinion In favor or against tho leaguo of nations, as presented by President Wilson, I ask to bo counted unqualifiedly In Its favor. Tho United States, with the consent of a vast ma jority of Its people, entered Into this war with no other object than bringing the nations together to avoid wars In the future, and to make them more diffi cult to bo started. Wo spent billions of treasuro and sacrificed tho lives of thousands of our best men with this sole object In view. When victory has been achieved wo are asked to become quitters. In my mind, the question tho American people have to decide is, as to whether they will line up as quitters or non-quitters. Speaking for myself and hundreds of those whom I have talked with, there is going to be a largo army, very much larger than left our shores for France, who will not march behind the quitter flag. Why Bhould they? Certainly not because a few cheeseparing politicians, pretending to bo statesmen, have found some alleged Imperfections In tholeague-of-nations plan. Their objections aro certainly trivial nnd are only such ob jections aa could be urged by a pro nounced pessimist. I have sufficient confidence In the ability of the people and the govern ment of the United States, Vhen they enter a peaco league, to control every possible question that could arise under tho exercise of tho Monroe Doctrine or tho maintenance of the sovereignty and principles which have guided this coun try through over a century, not to be frightened at any scarecrow which has been digged out by tho quitter crowd. I am no quitter. HENRY D. GREEN".

They are right on one point nt least, and that la. we do not get enough news as to the doings "over there.". The cen sorship In Franco Is all wrong; and, while the American press representa tives made a howl, they apparently didn't accomplish rrrach. Tho general principles of the league, as I understand it, I am willing to ac cept on Wilson's say so, becauso of my faith in his sincerity and his Idealism before mentioned; but there are two , stron , , f of and , very Important provisions that should .. - d . be in it that, so far as I know, aro not ,n f0 "jL,,"! , fha " . .,. yet there.
