Miss Ida Tarbell, well known writer and lecturer, spoke last night in the Auditorium under the auspices of the Helena Civic club, on the sub ject, “Remaking the World Through the League of Nations.” Her presentation was well received by the large audience. Her plea was for adoption and a fair trial of the league in operation by the nations of the world, as a means of preserving the peace and advancing the civiliza tion of the world. Should Have a Fair Trial. “The league may not be a perfect instrument as it stands now,” said Miss Tarbell, “but it should be given a fair trial, and its inherent flexibil ity makes possible any changes which the practical operation of the league might reveal to be necessary.” Miss Tarbell was especially inter esting in narrating her experiences and observations in Paris during the sittings of the supreme council when the League of Nations was being written. She was abroad as a special correspondent for American publica tions. She was in good voice last night, and while she is a strong supporter of the league, her interpretations were very temperate, a pleasing con trast to the bitterness which char acterizes the majority of utterances opposing the league. Luncheon in Her Honor. The Helena Woman’s Club Federa tion arranged a luncheon yesterday at the Placer in honor of Miss Tar bell, but on account of delay in ar riving in the city, she could not be present. Mrs. Sam V. Stewart was a special guest at the luncheon.
