The project of Iho league of nations
i ilia In the minds of Us opponents to
bear the blamo for many minus, jv--teordinB
to their view, If U had not been
Jor tho league, of nations peace .would
hW have been declared and everythlnB
-Would bo smooth and easy In the sphero
4 tho lato war. It la their view that
only the absurd insistence of Idealists
ms postponed the settlement needed to
produce normal times. Tho fact is en
thW otherwise. The league of nations
was made tho first subject of consider
ation by the conference because It could
be more promptly and easily disposed
of thun other issues rearing their ugly
lieads among the Allies. These needed
farnest and painful consideration In
confidential Interviews between the rep
resentatives of the leading powers. The
m facts were not known to the confer,
lice and tho Issues were not ready for
open discussion.
T-.T.mnltlcn Complicate Task
'The delay In fixing tho terms of the
Iague would not have happened hut for
the settlement of the other questions.
dne of tho most troublesome is the
amount of the indemnities which France
and Belgium and Italy and England and
Serbia ahoubl act from the central
oowers. It is complicated with the
question how much the central powers
can pay. Each Premier has found lilm
.eelt embarrassed by promises to his
lieoplo as to what the treaty must con
tain. In this regard, each one has found
that Wis claims, based only on the view
point of himself and his countrymen,
roust be moderated.
t Another burning question is that of
the boundary of Italy on the Adriatic
Ilaly InBlsts on liaWng Fiume because
the port has probably a majority of
Ttnllnns in It. hut it has always been
the port of the Slav dependency of Hun

The heavy wind brought to light mud

At pier A, Richmond, a sand-bar was
visible and In tho rlvor off Wcstmorc-i

Ueutenant 'William Thomas Scott,
this city, a member of Company A, 308th
Infantry, Seventy-seventh Division, died
March 0 from wounds received In action
October 1.
Lieutenant Scott was twenty-six years
old" and single. Ho entered the army
nine years ngo. When he was reported
wounded, October 1, Mrs. Annlo Gran
gel, his mother, 2315 North Gratr street,
expected her son to recover.
After two months passed and she re
ceived no word from him she began to
doubt whether he was allvei. A card
from tho lieutenant written to his mother
February 1", tho only word from him
nlnco ho was wounded, boro one short
pathetic sentence, "Mother, I am still
alive.''
When she received this Mrs. Grangel
realized the seriousness of her Eon's con
dition. According to the War Department to
day, Lieutenant Scott died In base hos
pital 123. A letter from tho Red Cross
In answer to Inquiries of the mother has
been received, saying the lieutenant Is
still alive. However, this Information
Is discredited because It Is thought to
have been transmitted from overseas
previous to March 6.
Lieutenant Scott was well known In
this city. When this countryv entered
the war he was stationed here aga re
cruiting sergeant, and later entered the
training school at Fort Niagara, where
he was commissioned. While in this city
ne poseu ior n picture used by the Emer
gency Aid to boost donations to tho sol
diers' tobacco fund.
In November, 1917, he was transferred
from the training school to Camp Upton,
and sailed for overseas shortly after.
According to letters to tho soldiers'
mother from comrades, the officer was a
doughty fighter. He received his wounds
while attempting to get supplies to the
front line trenches under heavy fire.
After being wounded seven times In
the same day he was struck in tho ab
domen by a machine-gun bullet and had
to be taken to the rear. When taken
to a first aid station surgeons said there
was little hope for him.
Two others from here in the casualty

fly fftc Associated Press
Manchester, March 29. In a special
edition today on the question of a
league of nations, tho Guardian prints
articles from many prominent states
men, inlcuding Lord Hatdone, former
Secretary of War ; Viscount Bryce, form
er Ambassador to the United States ; Al
bert Thomas, tho French Socialist lead
er, and Premier Lloyd George. Tho Pre
mier In his message says:
"Nothing Is more Important than that
publlo opinion should Inform Itself on
this subject. Alt our hopes of saving
the world from a repetition of tho un
fathomable cataclysm of 1914 center
upon our working out practical means by
which the nations of the earth can con
duct the common affairs of tho world In
friendly co-operation, Instead of Jealous
rivalry. The league of nations repre
sents the greatest attempt that ever has
been made to substitute reason and
Justice for force and Intrigue as the
governing principle of International re
lations.
"The principal of a league of nations
has been accepted but the league will
prove fruitless If It Is to be no more
than a new pleco of International
organization. What matters Is that tho
units which make up this organization
shall be Inspired by a real determination
to work In close harmony together for
the betterment and liberty of mankind
Nations must not let themselves believe
that In having drawn up a paper con
stitution the peace of the world has been
made secure. If they allow themselves
to be mislead by this policy they will
only be reawakened by a new war. They
have to see that the league of nations
Is mado an effective Instrument for the
solution of every international problem
by their own readiness to make sacrifices
in Its behalf.
"The United States and Great Brit
ain, which have taken such a leading
and honorable part In promoting this
beneficent scheme, must clvn a. nrac-
tical demonstration of their belief In It. '
"Disarmament Is an essential condi
tion of success. We cannot expect the
nations ravaged by the war to trust ,
their desolated lands to the protection
of the league If Us advocates hesitate
