ElidaN. M News.

Monday evening some one set fire to
the house of Chester Collins, west of
town. The criminal was pursued by
several parties, but owing to his start
and f1eetness of his steed, he was not
overtaken. Whoever the party may
be it will pay him to keep in hiding.
There is practically no deviltry of this
kind done around Elida, and our citizens
will not stand for such outrages.
Everyone should keep an eye open.

him as it should be.

BRYAN RIDER ADOPTED
Limitation of ornaments also Dis
cussed IN London.

London, July 24-William j. Bryan's proposed
rider to the model arbitration treaty was dis
cussed at session of the International Council
OF the Interparliamentary Union this morning.
and recast follows:
IL a disagreement should arise which is not In
contracting parties shall not resort 20 any act of
nostiity before they separately or jointly invite
international commission OF inquiry or mediation
OF one more friendly powers this reauisifiOn 20
take place. Il necessary In accordance with Article
VII or the Hague convention. providing for q
peaceful settlement OF international conflicts
On the resumption of the sessions OF the con-
ference the rider was unanimously adopted after
speeches by M. Won Plener. ex- Minister OF Com
merce of Austria and Mr.. Bryan. The latter
said that his amendment was aimed az widen
ing the scope OF arbitration to include questions
of national honor. the chances being hundred
20 one that the proposed investigation of facts
would also settle any question OF national honor.
II the hand Of war could be stayed till the con-
science awakened, wars would become more re-
mote. The amendment, therefore, was a long
step in the direction OF peace.
Mr.. Bryan's speech was brief, but aroused
much enthusiasm among the delegates.
Baron d'Estournelles de Constant, head OF the
French delegation, opened the debate the
limitation Of military and naval forces. declaring
that if the powers were undecided among them
selves how 20 act for their common interests
they would be forced to do so, first by bank
ruptcy and then by revolution. The baron said
that limitation Of armaments had no connection
with the ehimera OF disarmament.
The arguments against disarmament were
based on the augmented expenditure OF the
powers. The augmentations in the United States
were due TO the unfortunate example OF Europe,
but in proportion 10 the population the Amert-
can forces and expenditures had not been IN
creased unreasonably, proving the inaptitude Of
the Americans to transform themselves into a
nation of soldiers.
Germany. continued Baron dEstournelles de
Constant, had committed the grave fault OF
struggling with the United States for naval pre-
eminence and thus dividing her energies, both
on land and sea, uselessly, for the American
states were united and inaccessible, while the
states CT Europe were divided and would always
be menaced by the possibility Of coalition.
A resolution was agreed to in principle, urging
that the question Of disarmament be placed on
the programme Of the next peace conference at
The Hague. The exact wording Of the resolu-
tiOn will be discussed tomorrow.
Congressman d. L. d. Granger. Of Rhode
Island, elected Vice-president Of the Amert-
can delegation for the coming year, and Con-
gressmen Richard BaFtholdt, of Missouri, and
T. E. Burton. of Ohio, were elected members OF
the international council.
