Upon the character of the season,
its tempegRture and extremes, the

upon the character of the age. its du-

length OF the life of man. AS modi-

length of vegetative life, so the char

Those to whom We this day give

World on Crusade Against
the Dogs of War,

Paris, Jan. civilian T. Stead, of
London, who arrived here, says in an
interview that he is on his way around
the world in the interest of peace. He
further declares that he is authorized
by the British premier, Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannermann, to say that
Great Britain, if no other country does
so, would at the approaching second
peace conference at the Hague raise
the question of taking steps to pro-
vide for the maintenance of interna-
tional peace. This, Stead says, will be
done in the form of two propositions,
as follows:
First-That each country participant
ing in the conference appropriate
sum of money to be used in the pro-
pagation of the idea of maintaining in
ternational peace. Second--That each
country participating in the conference

HEARST ELECTED CHAIRMAN
Trouble in the independence League
Two Factions Struggle for the
Management

New York, Jan. civilian Ran
dolph Hearst has been elected chair
man of the state committee Of the In
dependence League. On Tuesday, Jan.
l, about thirty members Of the state
committee met, and during the absence
Of Chairman IhmSen elected Thomas
f. Long as chairman. The meeting
yesterday was called by Ihmsen soon
after he returned from abroad. 1t is
alleged by IhmSen and his adherents in
the committee that the earlier meeting
was illegal because it was held on a
holiday, although the rules provide
that the committee shall meet on the
first Tuesday in January.
The session yesterday was executive,
and admission was by card. Long and
his adherents were not present. Just
before the committee met Justice Lev
entritt denied an application by Long
for an order compelling the Ihmsen
men to show cause why they should
not be enjoined from meeting to elect
another chairman.
