EUROPE SIDES
WITH AMERICA
Will Not Oppose Our Doctrine as
to the Collection of
Debts

THE HAGUE, June 24.-The
American delegates to the peace con-
ference, although they did not hold
day discussing the proposition of the
United States relating to the collec-
ton of contractural pecuniary debts.
Gen. Porter talked over the matter
of the projected doctrine with the
leading European representatives,
and gained the impression that nei-
fther Great Britain, France, Germany,
nor Russia would oppose it, He will
submit the result of his converse
lions to the American delegation at
meeting tomorrow for a definite
draft of the proposition, which in
yesterdays communication to the
second committee was merely out
lined.
European support of the Ameri-
can doctrine will remove the oppo-
sition of the South American coun-
tries
The German proposition in the
matter of an international supreme
prize court establishes it's jurisdic-
ton and the method of it's conduct
Whenever the capture of steamer
is declared valid the steamer and
cargo are to be disposed OF accord
ing to the international laws of the
country which captures it. If the
capture is declared invalid, the
steamer and cargo are to be returned
and damages with interest paid and
if the steamer and cargo are de-
stroyed, indemnity must be paid.
The international prize court will
sit at The Hague and must be organ
lied the moment a maritime war is
declared. If several countries are i'm
plicated in the same war, it is pro-
vided that the courts are to number
as many as each of belligerent pow
ers. The prize court will be COM
posed of two admirals and three
members of The Hague permanent
arbitration court, each belligerent
power to pay $4,000 as the initial
expenses of the prize court, which
will be dissolved when the conflict
closes.
The German proposition, in its
amended treatment of the subjects
of neutral powers, establishes that
belligerents cannot employ them in
war-like operations, not even when
they voluntarily offer their service.
Several countries such as France,
Great Britain and Turkey, who allow
the enlistment of foreigners in the
armies of Colonial troops, oppose the
German proposition.

need a rest cure to remedy such condi-
tons"
That there can be no restoration Of
public confidence until the state and fed
eral authorities send to Jail the men who
have looted corporations, is the opinion
of Stuyvesant Fish, who returned last
night from Chicago.
'As has been foreseen and foretold the
present crisis is due to utter lack of con-
tldence in corporate management as con-
trolled and directed from Wall street.
Such lack of confidence is world wide,"
said Mr.. Fish.
ITO re-establish confidence abroad We
must first re-establish confidence at home,
and particularly in the agricultural COM
munities Of the west and south, where the
real wealth of this country is annually
taken out of the soil in the shape of crops,
lumber, coal and minerals.

two ways of avoiding panic: First, by the

"Neither the corporations nor the gov

yet acted efficiently hence. we are con-
fronted with period of depression in
general business which is real and wide
spread and must of necessity last until
confidence is restored. This again can
be expedited by vigorous action on the
part of the corporations or the govern
ment. or delayed indefinitely through in

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 2S-Rev. r. ]. Camp
bell, pastor Of the City Temple, provoked
angry Interruptions from his congrega-
ton while preaching in the temple today.
He asked his hearers if they really be-
lieved the story of Christ feeding the
multitudes in its literal sense.
"The feeding of the multitude was not a
feeding of the body. but a feeding Of the
soul with the bread Of life," he said. "It
is beautiful symbol, but the beauty is
destroyed and the teaching ruined when
it is sought to reduce it to physical
plane"
The clergyman was interrupted by cries
of mo-, but he asked to be allowed to
continue and his request was granted.
He then said:
'If Christ came to London he would
rot be received gladly by his church. He
would be regarded as a revolutionary en-
gagged in trying to upset the established
order in both church and state. He would
not attempt to perform the miracles Of
feeding multitude In the east end with
physical food, but he would strike deep
ard hard at the causes which make pov-
erty and degradation"
The latter part of the sermon was re-
oeived with applause.

LAHORE, India. Nov. 2S.-The efforts
of the Indian government to stamp out
the plague have up to the present time
been hampered by the refusal of the
Mohammedans to evacuate the infected
villages on the ground that they were
forbidden by the Koran to fee from
the wrath of God. and fully quarter
of million deaths from the plague
among the Moslems have been due to
this belief.
But now the heads of the Moslem
faith. urged by the government, have
issued a proclamation pointing out
the untenability of this idea and de-
claring that the Koran expressly en-
joins Mohammedans to quit the places
smitten by Allah with this disease.
