The Standard Telegram prints the opening joint debate between Senator McCormick and Senator Hitchcock on whether the U.S. should join the League of Nations. The two newspapermen present distinct arguments on the treaty, its guarantees, exits, and the risk of future wars.
Medill McCormick, United States senator from Illinois and former Chicago Tribune owner, is a leading opponent of the League of Nations proposed by the Paris peace conference. He has seen more fronts and allied powers during the war than any other member of Congress.
Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Nebraska, publisher of the Omaha World-Herald, ranks as a Democratic member and former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He leads the floor effort to ratify the peace treaty and the league covenant during Democratic control of the Senate.
The piece argues the British Empire wins peace while America is used, praising Lloyd George and deriding American treaty critics. It outlines the League of Nations as a cooperative covenant, detailing assembly and council structures, membership rules, and the aim to prevent war through diplomacy and international law.
An introduction notes a Hungha hunter spots an ad for a charming house by the station. He visits the two mile distant home, asks to meet the person who threw a stone. The piece blends jokes from Ladies' Women Journal and Buffalo Express with quips about furniture and marriage. An aviator’s late night dash near iron harbor adds a wartime accent.
An old fashioned exchange frames Dorothy’s future as her mother insists she enter a profession to be useful, while Dorothy questions becoming just an ordinary woman like her mother. The fragment hints at gender roles and social expectations in a past era.
A prelipse of trench fever traced to Ellino from time in France with the A I FP. John T. Jana of 158 Arch Street was examined by a physician and the patient was removed to Vincent's Hospital where the condition was reported as fair.
