subject OF comment
The United States played an i'm
portant part in the establishment
of international arbitration, ane
is, I believe, destined to take a still
more prominent place. Indeed
our added territory and increased
prestige among nations makes oul
favorable position upon arbitration
necessary to insure its success
Tho we are one of the youngest O
great nations, we have been one o.
the first to place the stamp OF ap
provallupon international arbltra
ton, and throughout our entire ma
tional life we have been quick te
submit any differences to an ar.
bitter for settlement.
In 1892, only ten yearsiafter ou'
government was firmly established
the boundary dispute between the
United StatesIandl Greatss Britain,
relating to the line between Cana
ida and this country, west OF the
great lakes, was submitted to q
Joint commission for settlement
This was really arbitration. Again,
in 1914 we could not agree with
:England's interpretation OF the
,peace treaty concluded that year,
zand at the instance of the United
States the dispute was submitted
to the car of Russia for arbitration.
In the same year, a British man.
,of-war destroyed an American
privateer in neutral port belong
ing to Portugal. The United
States demanded damages. but no
settlement was reached until 1851,
when Napoleon III, the chosen
arbiter, declared in favor OF Portu-
gal, on the ground that the Ameri-
can vessel engaged without seek
ing the protection OF the authorl-
ties. THE was the only case OF
arbitration the United States ever
dost, to my knowledge.
In 1871 the famous Alabama
Claims we're settled by a court OF
arbitration, known as the Geneva
Tribunal. This court, which was
the forerunner of the present court
at The Hague, was composed OF
five members: One from the
United States, one from England
and one appointed by the president
of the Swiss republic, the king OF
Italy, and the emperor OF Brazil.
In 1871, also, the claims of the
United States against Spain for
atrocities committed upon Ameri-
cans in Cuba were submitted to
arbitration.
It is not only as a claimant that
4his country has figured, however,
for we have often profered our
services as arbiter when other
countries we're engaged in disputes.
The most notable case was the
award of the amounts to be paid by
Venezuela in settlement of foreign
claims. These amounts were de-
cided by a commission appointed
by President Roosevelt.
The Geneva Tribunal clearly
demonstrated the need of perma-
nent court of arbitration and the
GEAR of Russia's Peace Conference
was a move towards that end. His
idea Of general disarmament OF
the nations was premature, but
the permanent court, known az
The Hague Tribunal, was estab-
lished. A description OF this court
may not be out of place here; al
least, I may tell you that twenty
six of the great world powers are
parties to the court; all, or nearly
all, appointing judges or arbiters
There are now about seventy Of
these judges who form 9 permanent

The official language is English
with French as substitute.
AS yet this court has not done
much. At least it has not proved
the factor the promoters-if I
may use the term thought lit
would be; yet | believe it will sbe-
come a powerful influence forg good.
The most recent case before the
court related to the payment Of
the Venezuela debt. 1t must be
understood that the amounts paid
were already fixed by the COM
mission appointed by our pres
ident, and the courts only duty
was to decide which of the eleven
powers concerned should be paid
first. I believe that the decision
meant more than the mere settle
ment of the case before the court;
under the surface. international
arbitration and the permanancy of
the Tribunal itself were on trial.
The number and power of the dis
putting countries make this SO.
The decision met the approval of
the contestants, and arbitration is
firmly established.
believe that, if The Hague
court does prove success. and I
am sure it will, the differences
between nations will be almost en-
tirely settled by arbitration. War
will become, to a great extent a
thing of the past; the diplomat
will take the place of the soldier;
the court of arbitration willrepIace
the battle field. Understand me,
| do not mean to say that war will
cease entirely. There will always
be war; for arbitration, to be sue
cessful, must be agreed to by both
disputants; this is sometimes very
hard to bring about. The refusal of
Great Britain to arbitrate with:the
Transvaal and of Japan and Russia
to settle their dispute by .arbitra-
ton are two instances. These are
only exceptional cases, however.
Now, if all our differences are to
be settled by diplomacy and arbi-
tration, how are we prepared for
this war of diplomats? Ourdiplo-
matte service is the laughing stock
of all the great powers. And just
ly so. It is true that the ssshirt-
sleeves diplomacy in vogue among
American diplomats is sometimes
successful, but it could be greatly
improved. England draws her
diplomatic corps from a trained
body of men. The youth of Great
Britain is educatedifor that service
the same as for the army and navy.
France demands special course
for her diplomatic corps, followed
by three years in the home Office
before a member can be sent
abroad. Germany also demands
special education, and all Euro
pean countries compel their diplo-
mats to gain an extensive knowl-
edge of history, languages and in
ternational law.
How different in America! The
spoils system forces a diplomat to
send in his resignation at each
change in the executive head of
this government. Nothing is re-
quired of an applicant but that
his political pull be stronger than
his opponents. The result is that
our really first class diplomats can
be counted upon the fingers, the
only two Of recent years being
James G.. Blaine and our present
secretary, Mr.. Hay. To illustrate
the need of an education in Ian
guages, it is only necessary to re-
late the circumstances regarding
the treaty of 1880 between this
country and Turkey. When the
treaty was made and signed at

Wadena, Mimi, Nov. 4.-Wadena is
the center of a dairy business that is
developing by leaps and bounds and is
certain to become most important fac
tor in the industrial welfare Of the
county at large.
Wadena has two creamegies in sue
cessful operation, and there are also
other plants of this kind, as we'll as
cheese factories, at other points in this
section.
It has been the experience Of all the
older states that wheat plays out after
time unless the soil is kept up by
rotating with clover. Recent scientific
discoveries are making it possible to
produce clover on soil not heretofore
adapted to the clover plant.
1t is fortunate, however, that most
of the lands in central Minnesota are
by nature peculiarly adapted to raising
clover and do not require such artificial
assistance. These scientific discoveries
confirm the long experience of practical
farmers that clover retains and in.
creases the fertility Of the soil and
makes dairying and diversified farming
both practical and profitable.
The counties Of Wadena, Otter Tail
Becker, Todd, Hubbard and Cass are
among those where the clover plant

.s. . WADENA COUNTY, NZNN

Anyone interested in dairying and d.
versifed farming will do well to come to
Wadena and examine the situation for
themselves. Wadena is about one hun
dred and fifty miles from Minneapolis
and the same distance from Duluth, and
is located at one Of the intersections Of
the Northern Pacific with the Great
Northern railroad systems, and can be
conveniently reached over either road.
Wheat, oats, corn, potatoes and other
Minnesota crops are also raised thruout
these counties, but wheat Is gradually
becoming relatively less important, al
tho still a large source Of income to the
farmer.
An important point to the landseeker
is the fact that lands in these counties
can be purchased at low prices and usu-
ally on easy terms. While improved
farms within four or five miles Of the
city Of Wadena sell at from $25 to $35
an acre, there is an abundance Of cheap
wild land within convenient distance of
railroad that can be purchased at from
So to $12 an acre. while similar lands
from $40 to $12 an acre upwards, &C:
cording to location and character of
improvements.
Purchasers Of lands at these low
prices are absolutely certain Of large
profit in the future from the natural in.
crease in value, as we'll as from the
crops which can be raised. The citizens
Of Wadena are hospitable, and will vel
come and assist newcomers locating
among them.

Taylor has been twelve years with

He has a comprehensive and thoro

brings himself into that relationship
with his patients which always makes
for the best results.
Railroad fare to and from Iron River

Iron River has good railroad service,
two trains each way daily on each line,

the sanatorium will be made to feel at

selves surrounded by every influence
that will build up and restore them to
their rightful place in the world.
