"While duo credit will be given for rcrvlce rendered during tho war," says the circular, "officers cannot expect to retain the grades attained by them under war conditions."

Here Nearly 2 to 1 Continued from Ttktt On In tho poll Is tho difference between tho veto as canvassed nnd thoiVote which resulted from tho ballots sent to this paper. "Where the former shows a. majority for the proponents of ths league of nations plan, the latter ghs them a veritable landslide. One explanation of the one-sided vote resulting from the count of bal lots is In the activity of tho advocates of the league. Resolutions containing from ten to twenty names, advocating the present plan, were received In al most overy mall. There was but a single Instance where tho opponents of the plan resorted to this method of voting. Tho second point of Interest lies In the reasons given by advocates and opponents of the plan. Whenever a man opposed the plan he had a definite reason for so doing. The number of those against the league who cast their votes because they were "good Itepubllcans" or because tliey would "back Iodge and Knox against Wilson" was negllgable. The two reasons, upon which they laid stress was tho possible threat to tho Monroe Doctrine Included In the proposed league, and skepticism as to the motives of Kuropean powers. Objections of Fiaftlneftn Men Another source of opposition was among business men having to do with foreign trade. Many of theso men were opposed to pretty nearly everything the government has done In connection with tho Pence Conference. Patriotic Citizens Register Views , Concerning the League of Nations Answers Mr. Thayer To the F.ditof vf the Evening VubUo l.ntger: Sir Without maklngran attempt at a direct answer to Mr. Thayer's Ques tion, I will try and say something to ths point. If the league of nations had not been Insisted Upon by Mr. Wilson as part of the peace treatry It would then have been very difficult to get It agreed to after the ordinary peace treaty was signed. To say that the league of nations covenant as promul gated has "ponderous nnd Impossible machinery" Is something the majority of our country and the majority of the peoples of the world will never say yea to, for this majority feels that In this covenant Is combined the great cause of Justice with thn moral power of our great nation and the nloral power of the majority of the peoples of the nations represented In this great pre ventative of future wars. t feel sure that whenever It shall become necessary to Injure the terri torial or political position of a member country of the league, the very fact that this league was brought Into existence for that purpose will be the means of They see In tho I guaranteeing tho Intecrltv of the n. establishment of nn International pence sailed country very qulcklv. agreement the beginnings of a direct As Mr. Hltchcorb l,l vi..h... .- can nn longer remain a hermit nation." .no: ror when wo realize how rilnionii to lead a or she goes Into the deserted woods, It can be blow at the foreign commerce for Amer. lean ships which the United States Is "trying to rebuild after generations of ij,, even for .

'ff'1 llff "nlcM. ,,e m K!m the expense or the united States: of dis crimination against American products nnd other commercial disasters. They deny that the average citizen has had the slightest opportunity to rejflly learn what the league of nations means, and they place the blame for this on the committee on public Information for the censorship which, they say, fian kept the truth from the west side of the Atlantic. There Is a third group of opponents (In which may be included a number of people of Celtic origin) who view tho league of nations with the same air that a hen might view an Easter egg. They consider It camouflage. They reason something like this: "President Wilson's fourteen points were agreed to by the Allies In the he. gl.inlng. Since then they have been sys tematlcaly killed oft. Open diplomacy, has become a trnglc Jest. The freedom of little nations is In tho same category. The right of self-determination Is noth ing but a phrase. Even tho original terms to Germany are being made harsh, er. With these violations of tho Presi dent's fourteen points already a matter of record what assurance has the United States that European powers will re gard a league of nations as anything more than a scrap of paper to be recog nized as long as Its obscrvanco means self-advancement." nlzgrat Question In Mind In spite of the stress laid by public men who opposed the jilan on the "loose phraseology" of the leaguo of nations covenant there was comparatively little complaint offered by opponents of the plan on this score. The great single question In thlr mind seemed to be: "What guarantee have we, or what guarantee can we obtain, that Europe will keep her promises to this country?" If one eliminates from the proponents of the plan those persons who voted for It because of their personal faith In President Wilson the vote of the major ity would be cut down 40 per cent. The single big upset In tho poll was In the vote taken at the plant of the Edward G. Budd Manufacturing Com pany where 1495 men voted ngalnst the plan and 680 voted for It. This vote was explained by Dr. E. II. Mcllvaln, direc tor nf welfare, by tho large number of veteran soldiers nnd sailors there are more than 1000 In tho plant who voted against tile plan. This Is Dr. Mcllvaln'n explanation of tho vote. The reason for tho majority of opposition may have been due to something entirely different. Thirty per ccn of ah the mm and women canvassed for votes were unable or unwilling to express nn ODlnlon for He declared run sympathy with of- or against the plan as far as It has gone. plainly seen (that since this more than four years of war In which our coun try entered and evar.tlv at tlm iicht time) how Impossible It would be for the great United States to Isolate It self; therefore, our farseelng President saw the great necessity of an Incidental "United States of tho world" for the purposo of controlling and making Im potent any nation that dared to propel another war upon the world.

Heed Sherman and and empires, some of the latter having components In, which self-determination Is nbt allowed. , Because contrary to our early warn ing against everything akin to Kuropean alliance; the fundamentals of human characteristic have not since then changed. , Because as proposed does not offer practical means for the nations to trust each other and live In relations making peace Inviting; the numerous provisions for compelling acts by member nations prove there Is at the very moment of conception a distrust In each other which Is not the spirit essential to preservation of peace, Because all the world knows on what occasion and how promptly America will fight; and a league la not essential to her. Bto&uie the for-the-moment cobel llgertnts with America seem to hope for & league only as a means for exploiting her, whose wealth and national resources are much needed abroad for credit and Industries. Because conceived and drafted In secret, contrary to our belief that all covenants should be open, and openly arrived at. Because criticism was unwelcome and we were told to accept It without change, as a thing complete, perfect. Because patently drafted In haste, (though supposed magically to prevent war forever and a day) In as few as eight or ten days ; and with some of our molt able men fitted for the task con spicuously absent from Paris. Becauie, Instead of unmistakable clearness, -It Is wholly vague, as evidenced by the amount of explanation offered and excuses Made: and entirely silent as to many essentials, as with drawal, which party shall be supported.

To the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger: Sir Enclosed find seven votes In favor of the league of nations. The best proof that the league of na tions must be a good thing for all of 1 the people Is the very fact that Senators Lodge Knox and Penrose oppose It. Who ever heard of Lodge, Knox and Penrose favoring anything that was good for the people? President Wilson has proven htmseit the "right man in the right place," and so far has not betrayed the confidence the people have reposed In him, and all this "gallery play" by "special Interest" politicians agalnsht President Wilson Is nothing more or less than partisan poli tics. And we must not forget that our own dear ilitle straddle-Scnalof, the Han. Walter E. Edge, who holds down United States Senator and Governor, at one time, who Is also opposed to the league of nations, having signed as one of tho "picked thirty-seven," yet In his statement before election he said he would "Irrespective of party adulations or considerations support every part of President Wilson's) program for peace and Its sequel."

The vote taken In the railway terminals showed a majority to be In favor of the plan although the vote at the Broad Street Station was consider ably closer than the vote at the Bead ing Terminal. One poll of the financial district showed a majority to be op posed to the plan while another, and more extensive poll of the Bourse gavo a majority In favor, with the Commercial Exchange virtually tied on the fiuestlon. I In the Free Library the proponents ot the plan won by s vote of almost two to one, while In the Mercantile Library the vote was against It by a slight ma jority. Ai poll at Cramps' shipyard showed a majority against the league, while the vote. taken at the Baldwin Locomotive Works and at Hog Island showed the majority to be In favor.

This winning "drive" 'is what every man wants to get into his own business. But what fur nishes this driving power? rfeas say the most successful of all busi ness men. Sales ideas that land orders in spite of hesitating buyers. Collection ideas that coaxin money the minute it's due. Man agement ideas that insure a working force alert and eager to produce more. Ideas that keep a business forging ahead like a well-oiled machine. And the easiest way to get ideas of this kind is from SYSTEM, the Magazine of Business!

Putting the Handclasp in Your Letters TPHE Ingersoll Watch folks have a way of making letters bring Uome the bacon. Every letter they mail is based on a scientific formula. Every letter does what it's aimed to do: sells watches, wipes out misunder standings, makes a friend of a debtor and at the same time prompts him to put a check hi the return mail. Every letter is a handclasp and a friendly "Hello, there." Business tftese days rides on the postage stamp. If your everyday let ters are not improving they are losing in effectiveness. Your entire business suffers as a result. In the April issue of SYSTEM, under the title "Making the Everyday Let ters Better," Paul Kearney tells a score of first, class, proved -out, better letter ideas. They are yours for the reading. Making Borrowed Ideas Work DEADY-TO-WEAR plans that can be applied, to your business just as they are don't grow on every bush. But wherever you go, each experience you have contains the germ of an idea you could very likely use. A certain Chicago hardware man traces an increase of 60 in his sales to applying borrowed ideas. As he tells it himself, "My biggest job is carrying a notebook. At least that is the part of my work that yields the biggest share of profits." Into his notebook go ideas .that other men have worked but or adapted. He gleans them everywhere. And, in almost ali of them is an idea that makes his "organization run more smoothly and promotes his sales. One plan from a manufacturer perhaps, another frc i a wholesaler, rightly combined, yields him a profit. Wallace J.
