IN. THE
CAUSE OF PEACE
British Premier Lauds the Work
Being Done by Universal
Congress.
AS A SAFEGUARD
Asquith Gives Rational Methods of
Settling Quarrels of
Nations.

LONDON, July 31.-The Government
Sonight rendered a banquet to the
delegates to the Universal Peace Con-
gress at the Hotel Cecil. Lewis Har-
court, First Commissioner of Works,
presided. The guests included Herbert
Henry Asquith, the Prime Minister;
Lord Fitzmaurice, the Lord Chancellor;
Lord and Lady Courtney, the Countess
of Aberdeen, James Bryce, British
ambassador to the United States; Will
liam T. Stead and other prominent
persons.
Asquith, in proposing toast to the
international peace movement, wei
coined the delegates and assured them
of the British Governments sympathy.
| He said he was consoled by the argu-
ment that colossal ornaments were the
surest safeguard against war, when he
was assured by a great authority that
the annual expenditure of civilized ma
tions for ornaments was somewhere
near four or five hundred million
pounds sterling.
I'VE must ask ourselves" the Primo
Minister declared, whether we are
bound to acquiesce in the futile fatal
ism which accepts the argument as a
fact"
He was not sanguine enough to be-
lieve that the youngest among those
present would live to witness the adj
vent of universal disarmament. Ma
tional security always must hold first
place in the plans of the government
of any country, and while communities
like individuals, remained they were
liable to be swept with gusts of pas
sion, and prudent statesmen must pro-
vide against the contingencies of war
But admitting all that, Asquith con.
tinued, the plain fact remained thai
there was no enterprise more worthy
of the efforts of good men than to de-
wise practical means not only for mini
MIXING the risks of international quar-
rels, but for providing a rational sub
stitute for the settlement of disputes
by warfare. Among the various means
of progress in this direction, he said
the first wa sthe growth of interna
tional agreements. He said he use
the word agreements because advance
sometimes had the contrary effect
The second was the substitution o
international litigation. for the bar
barous methods OF slaughter. TIL
translation of these principles int
practice was beset with difficulty, al
though not, in his opinion, insur
mountable difficulty.
Lastly, Asquitn asserted, there wa
the delicate sphere of international re
lations. The main thing was that tn
b nations should get to know and under
J stand one another. Half of their qual
rels arose through want of such I'm
J derstanding, and it was devoted an
patient efforts of the missionaries c
= peace, all of whom were co-operatin
for the same benefcent end, that tn
strongest hope would be found for tn
greatest of all reforms-the establish
ment of peace throughout the world.

FROM THE SLUMS
TO PARLIAMENT
The Remarkable Career of Victor
Grayson, the Noted
Socialist.
HE is sNUBBED BY THE KING
He Declares That Parliament No
Longer Deals With
Live Issues.

LONDON, July 25.-Victor Grayson,
NJ. p, who recently attained the dis
tinction of being among the four mem
bers of Parliament "blacklisted" by the
King from attending at his majestys
garden party, to which all NJ. P.s are
usually invited, has announced his in
tention of soon going to America to
study social conditions. Grayson, Keir
Hardie, Harry Marks and Arthur Pom
sonby all voted against tne Kings visit
to the Gar of Russia. King Edward
has retaliated by not inviting them to
his garden party, which is marked
"snub.' Grayson is glad, under the
circumstances, to De singled out for
royal disfavor, as it compensates him
for his failure to deliver his great
speech protesting against the King OF
England hobnobbing with the Russian
autocrat, and enables him to express
by social martyrdom his sympathy
with what he considers the downtrod-
den Russian proletariat.
NO FUTURE PARLIAMENT.
Getting into Parliament is the end
and aim of most ambitious Britishers,
but Grayson, the recent successful can
didate from Colne Valley, looks upon
his triumph rather obviously. He says
Parliament, as at present constituted,
is literally the end of most aspirants
| to fame, in the sense that il is their
finish" for good kork in the world.
! Grayson, by the way, is one of the
youngest members of the House OF
Commons, being only q; and yet, per-
haps, he is the most picturesque per-
sonality in Parliament. He has won
| his way into the House through sheer
force of individual popularity, and that
among the poorest section of the peo-
pie He sprung suddenly into fame
during the Belfast strike by a speech
in which he is reported to have adj
vised the strikers to use glass bottles
to fight with if they could not gel
guns. His speech against granting
Lord Cromer an award of $25O,OOO fol
his rule in Egypt also brought hin
out"
ABSURDITIES OF THE COMMONS
Grayson holds strong views on Par
llamentary inefficiency. Dealing will
that subject in an interview, he mad

The ancient Chamber is swaddle

Huge Battleships In Theory.

Huge Battleships In Theory.
All nations which are ambitious of
great sea power want ships as large
as those Of any other nation; hence
the contest for size makes ever newer
and larger creations necessary. The
way the contest stands at present
among naval experts is explained by
the Scientific American. Modern tao
tics, this paper says, call for Zine
ahead fOrmation"-that is, with each
ship of fleet steaming in the wake
Of the one ahead, with a wide interval
between them. Thus a line of four
eight-gun ships will be but half as
long as line of eight four-gun ships.
The line of four eight-gun ships will
attack the four fOur-gun ships at the
head OF the line of smaller vessels and
overcome them by mere preponderance
Of metal, then attack and dispose Of
the other four smaller ships.
1t is assumed that the fifth and sixth
ship in the line of four-gun ships will
do little execution while the eight
gun ships are smashing the four lead
ing ships, but that the seventh and
eighth can do nothing, owing to the
long range Upon the theory that
naval battles of the future must be
fought out just this way, the authori-
ties of the rival powers are proceeding
when they put millions into NAM
moth ships. But perhaps some future
Nelson or Paul Jones will happen into
4 fight and apply the big cd" to tao
tics. It all seems to be a question Of
what thirty-two twelve-inch guns on
one side can do to thirty-two twelve
inch guns on the other SIDE A Jones
or Nelson might not be disposed to
keep dozen, more or less, of his guns
out of the scrimmage and let four big
ships have their own way with the
four little ships at the head of his line
Torpedoes seem to be left out Of cal
culatiOn in this theory of naval war
fare. Even then there may arise some
daring commander, not sound on ap-
proved tactics, who is himself as good
as whole arsenal of torpedoes Once
small ship does the trick for a big
one, the small and lively terror of the
ocean" will again be in fashion.
