Sir Esme was the guest in Buffalo of E. H. Butler, publisher of the Buffalo Evening News and vice president of the Associated Press. “My hope in the future of Europe,” he sald, “is founded on the belief that the peoples of that continent have realized more completely than those of any other continent the horror and folly of war and that if they are only given the power of expressing their sentiments at a critical moment through the League of Nations, which is the only existing organ for that purpose, they will be able to prevent a repetiton of the cataclysm of 1914.” e Subscribe to the District of Colum- bia World War Memorial- by sendin, contributions to John Pool an any bank in se ball teams i blican and Cly IONAL COMMITTEE STUDIES VETERAN LUNACY CASES. preme Court and the chairman of the House veterans’ committee photographed at the Capif lerk of District of Columbia Supreme Court; Representat rbert L.
