WAR IS MADE HARDER
BY the Peace Conference at
The Hague.
VIEWS OF JOHN w. FOSTER
Advance Step by Step, Educating
Public Opinion.
WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED
Debts Must Not Be Collected by
Force-An International Prize
Court Created.
WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED

War has been made harder to start by
the peace conferences at The Hague, but
none except Missionaries expects that
those congresses will abolish warfare, -
said John w. Foster, formerly Secretary
of State. to a reporter for The Star this
morning. Mr. Foster was delegate of
the Chinese government, for which he Is
legal adviser, to the conference at The
Hague, but returned to this country
while the congress was still in session.
1t adjourned Saturday.
Mr.. Foster said that he did not care to
speak spe ecifically of the acts of the con-
gress in detail until he received a COM
plete report of the proceedings, but he
was emphatic in declaring that those
critics who call the conferences futile are
in error.
Must Not Collect Debts by Force.
This move ment must advance step by
step" said Mr.. Foster. Public opinion
educated. We are going ahead constant
ly, and the regulations which the confer
ences have put upon warfare make it
more difficult year after year.
'At the conference just adjourned the
principle has been adopted that debts
owing to European powers by nations in
this hemisphere must not be collected by
force. This is in accordance with the So
called 'Drago doctrine. but is not the
whole Of the doctrine. This is an impor-
tant ruling for the people of the Ameri-
cas-
In the matter of the prevention of war
through misunderstanding or as pre-
text for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, the scope of
commissions to inquire into differences
between nations on the verge of hosti1i-
tbs has been increased. 1t is true that
the principle of compulsory arbitration
has not been established The conference
has failed in that regard and the earnest
advocates OF the measure ara disappoint-
ed, but, as another conference has been
agreed upon, there is hope that success
in this endeavor will BE- attained later
An International Prize Court.
The creation of an International prize
court is something entirely new and In
connection with this the rights of neu-
trails have been more completely safe
guarded.
None can rightly call these confer
ences futile, for they are molding opin-
ion against warfare and are ACCOMPLISH
ing many reforms directly. With the nu-
nerous clashing interests repres ented it
Is difficult to attain any goal at once.
Progress must be gradual, and it will be
in the line of lesSening the chances of
war and of modifying the horrors of war
when 1t does come. Nobody except vision
ar1es expects to see warfare abolished,
but the conferences are making it harder
every year to start a war;
The next conference will probably be
held in 1915.

Imitation Begins.
The preparations for the big race were
watched with intense interest by those
closure which was guarded today by sew
eral hundred soldiers of the regular army.
All of the nine balloons were delivered
yesterday, and this morning they lay linn
heaps of vanished cotton at intervals
along the pipe through which specially
manufactured gas was to be pumped later
in the day. The work of imitation re-
quired great care, and it was two hours
after the gas was first turned on that
the once fiat masses of cloth rounded
themselves out into great yellow and drab
globes, these two colors being the ia
vorites of the foreign balloon makers. AS
gradually the balloons took shape the
stout webbing of cord about them was
carefully adjusted and inspected. Bas-
kets were not tied in place until the last
foot of gas was forced into the big bags
and the neck tightly sealed. Dangling
from this neck in each balloon was a
white cord with small bag of the same
color attached. This cord controls the
gas valve at the top and is pulled when
ever the aeronaut decides to descend. A
second cord of red is known as the rip

What hammers Want.

State Master Richardson. of the
Massachusetts Grange, at the last an
nual meeting pointed outthat during
the past year, his first in the Office,
the order has increased by over 1900
members.
In his recommendation on good
roads he said in part:
''Since the coming Of motor cars
the State finds the cost of repairs or
our crushed stone roads materially
increased. Critical tests show that,
whereas driving owe a macadamized
road will hardly leave an imprint,
these heavy cars, run at such high
speed. very soon take off the upper
layers of finely crushed stone and
leave the surface rough and open for
moisture to enter. 1t is now pro-
posed that. an annual graded tax be
put on all automobiles, according to
their engine or electric capacity, suf-
icient to insure the permanent main
tenance of these roads in hrst-elass
condition. I am led to recommend,
in addition, that this State grange
declare itself. unreservedly in favor
first, of a fixed maximum speed IN
country as well as city; second, IN
creased penalties for violation of the
law, and third, greater reduction OF
speed than is now required when ap'

AUTOMOBILES and Dust.

Much complaint has been heard in
France during the past summer on
account of the excessive dustiness OF.
the otherwise admirable roads. aThis
is ascribed mainly to the increasing
use of automobiles. 1T iss asserted
that houses and chateaux with beau
tiful grounds and gardens have been
rendered virtually uninhabitable by
the clouds of dust raised by passing
automobiles, and ever garden plants
have been seriously damaged by the
thick carpet of dust spread over
them. 1t seems to be agreed that the
remedy is not to be sought through
any change in the structure, OF the
speed, of automobiles, but through
some treatment OF the roadways tend
ing to keep down the dust. Tarrlng
