DETEsTs WAR.
Prince Bismarck Talks on Arbitration
Has No Faith in It.

New York, Feb. "a dispatch to the
World from London says:
Prince Bismarck has received a rep
resentative of the World at his castle
at Friedrichsruhe The correspondent
called by appointment with Count
RantZau, the son-in-law of the prince,
who enjoys the closest, most confiden-
tai relations with the great chancellor.
The World requested an expression of
opinion from Bismarck on information
al arbitration.
Prince Bismarck's answer was made
through Count Rantzau yesterday in
these words:
ON the merits of the arbitration
treaty now pending in. the United
word to say. He wishes to be under
stood the opinion he now expresses is
purely theoretical, or academical in re-
Spect to arbitration of disputes be-
tween nations. not as an expression up
on the merits of the peace treaty agreed
upon but not yet ratified between Great
Britain and the United States. Upon
that he wishes to make no expression.
Prince Bismarck declares emphatically
that he detests war, though he has been
driven to advocate it where there has
been no other means of settling dis
putes and where the fate of the Faith
erland was involved.
Arbitration he would certainly have
preferred could he have expected the
decision to be such as he considered to
be just. 1t was only necessary to re-
member, however, the Caroline islands
and the popes decision against Ger
many and in behalf of SPAIN
In private life" Prince Bismarck's
statement continued:
The value of any agreement between
different persons, however precise the
wording, depends on the character of
the contracting parties, and even then
there are the law. courts to appeal to
whenever disputes arise.
But where is the law court, any law
court, in fact, which could eventually
enforce its sentence in the case of two
great nations entering into a treaty for
arbitration?
mo statesman in this world is so
powerful as to be able to command the
voice of the people in certain emergen-
cies.
No arbitration treaties will ever sue
coed in abolishing war as the sole means
of a settlement of a dispute when the
whole future of q nation is believed by
its people to depend on the way the is
sue is settled.
THE terrorS of modern warfare, ''con-
tinued the Iron Chancellor's statement,
the uncertainty as to what the end
would be, will do more, at present, at
least, to prevent war than any treaties
could do Once the people are educated
enough to comprehend that war is a
double edged sword, the aggressors Of
ten being the losers, then war will
cease

international arbitration, proves how
humanity has advanced. 1t is to be ap-
plauded for that reason if not for any

BRANCHING OUT.
Another Topeka Firm Will Add a
New Industry to the Town.

Topeka is to have a yeast factory and
the machinery is now being put in place
and the factory will be opened within
two weeks. The projectors of the new
enterprise are the firm of Parkhurst,
Davis & Co. and they have purchased
the compressed yeast plant at indie
pendence, Mo
The new factory is in the large brick
building just south of the city park
known as the wind mill factory" 1t
has been leased for a term of years and
will be devoted to the manufacture of
a new brand of yeast to be known as
the 'Ralston health yeast
Mr.. ParkhurSt told a Journal reporter
today that the plant would be in operation
within two weeks if nothing occurs to
prevent carrying out the present plans.
He says that the firm expects to put in
a plant to occupy both floors of the build
ing which is $50 by so in dimensions.
Mr.. ParkhurSt says he does not know
how many men will be employed in the
new enterprise but it will require a con-
siderable force to take care of all the
work the firm hopes to turn out from the
new plant.
This is the first enterprise that has come
to Topeka for some time and it is one
that will be a success, judging from the
men who have hold of it. The plant is
to be in charge of Mr.. Conner who was
superintendent of the Independence fac

strenuously that n fugitive from jus

immunity from arrest and punishment
by sheltering himself in the country OF
which he was citizen, which might be
the case under the operation of the SEN

1t is not probable, however, that the
president will so to the length of
abandoning the treaties entirely but he
will allow them to remain in their pres

administration to pass judgment upon
them and either proclaim or reject them
at it's pleasure.
