by Associated Press.

by Associated Press
LAKE MOHONK. N. Y, May 22.--
Gratefully recognizing the development
of the forces which make for interna-
tional peace, the Lake Mohonk con-
ference on international arbitration to-
day adopted a platform setting forth
its views on the peace movement. The
platform commends the work of The
Hague peace conference, notes the ex-
iistence OF fifty or more international
arbitration treaties concluded WITHIN
the last five years, commends the ac-
tivity of educational institutions and
business, professional and labor or
ganizations toward the prevention of
war, and rejoices in the final act of
The Hague conference for a future
meeting.
The principal address of the early
session was delivered by Baron Korogo
Takashira, Japanese ambassador to tho
United States. Others who spoke were
DR.. Henry c. White of the University
OF Georgia, President Joseph Swain of
Swarthmore college, and William p.
Rogers. dean of the law school of the
University of Cincinnati.
resolution rejoicing in the arbi-
tration treaties signed by the United
states with other nations, particularly
treaties signed by the United States
with other nations, particularly Japan,
was adopted. At the concluding ses-
sion of the conference tonight the prin-
cipal speaker was Rear Admiral French
e. Chadwick, u. S. N, retired.
1.-The navy" he said, has no apollo
gies to make to a certain class of
minds, either for its existence or its
duties. The greatest single force in
the support of law and order today in
the world is the navy. In speaking
thus I include other navies as well as
our own.
''There is no use in crying peace
where there Is no peace. The world
moves from plane to plane carefully by
L convulsion. We are now rapidly APP
4 proaching another CONFUSION period.
Where is certain before long to be an
oeher readjustment. Shall this be
bloody or peaceful? The army and
navy are the great arms of. conserva-
tism. When you can arrange revolu-
tons by academic discussion you may
perhaps do without them, but as yet
can see no sign of such an outcome"

Women Who Wear We'll.

It is astonishing how great 8 change few years of married life often make in the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The matron is only dim shadow, faint echo of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this change, ignorance and neglect Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often come with mar riage and motherhood not understanding that this secret drain is robbing the cheek of it's freshness and the form of its fairness.
 As surely as the general health suffers when there is Arrangement of the health of the delicate woman'x organs, so surely whe6 these organs are>establshed in healNh the fsce anf<dfnat osee witness to the fact in feslwed comelfraSS Nearly g million women have found health and happiness in the use of pr.
