The institution of an interna-
tional court of arbitration carries
with it, then, as an inseparable
corollary, the abolition Of indepen-
dent national armies and navies,
and the substitution therefor of an
international army, subject to the
International court of arbitration,
and maintained solely for the pur-
pose Of enforcing its DEGREES. II is
undeniable that in the recent dis
cussion of disarmament and arbi-
tration, recognition of the necessity
for the maintenance OF an interna-
tional force of some such character
as this has become increasingly ev-
ident. In a discussion of the prob
lem by Arthur III. Dutton, late of
the United States navy, in con-
tempory journal, the writer out
lines the character of the force
which would be necessary for this
purpose. He proposes that an in
ternational army be formed;
mpact, thoroughly trained, we'll
equipped and mobile force, to the
personnel of which each civilized
nation would contribute its quota
in proportion to the population"
1t would be the international police
force, and would stand in the same
relation to the nations of the world
that the United States army does
to the States of the American I'M
ion. Among the civilized nations
today there are taken from indus
trial pursuits, during peace times,
no less than 4,250,000 able bodied
men, whose maintenance COSTS
nearly $1,000, 100000 annually.
These many millions would be re-
turned to peaceful occupations, and
their place would be taken by an
international army Of arbitration
of 100000, costing annually about
$150,000,000. To cooperate with
this army there should be an inter.
national navy, in which there would
be no battleships, consisting only
of cruisers, gunboats, and trans
ports for the moving Of the troops.
The international army would be
concentrated in three divisions of
100000 each, one in Europe, one
in North America, and one in the
Orient, with the remaining 100000
scattered in smaller detachments.
The decree of concentration of the
three great armies would be mat
ter for decision of the strategist.
All the permanent Notifications
would be abandoned, and the ma
tions, having disbanded their ma
tional armies, would depend upon
their civil police for the execution
of their own local laws. Each ma
ton would agree to maintain no
individual military force whatever;
and the intelligence bureau of the
International army would see that
this obligation was fully lived up to.
Military training would be re-
stricted to International schools,
the manufacture Of arms and mu-
nitions of war to international facto-
ries.
Although the time may not be fully
ripe for the sweeping change advocated
by Lieut.. Dutton, it cannot be denied
that the alarming growth of the cost Of
our present merhods of maintaining he
worlds peace, is driving the nations in
to an impasse, the readipst escape from
which would seem to be by the broad

SOUTHLAND CAMP
 FLoURIsHEs AS BAY TREE

BISBEE, Feb. 4.-That Courtland, Ariz., promises to be one of the big mining camps of the territory is the opinion of Frank H. Derieks of this city. who returned yesterday from that place. Mir. Dericks has spent several days in and around Courtland looking for a chance to invest and was so inn pressed with the possibilities of the camp that he will return within a week and may invest there.
 MT. Dericks says that there are over 1000 miners now in the camp and the majority of them are Ameri- cans, only a few Mexican and Italian wOrkmen being employed.
 "'The camp, in my opinion, promises to be one of the best in the territory ' said Mir. Dericks. "You can stand where the postoffice is to be built they have no postOfiee now-and can see eight big shafts at work. These work three shifts of eight hours each. The town presents lively appearance and is a typical mining camp which has made good. Water sells for $1 per barrel and has to be hauled long distance.
 "Courtland is situated forty-four miles from Douglas and thirty miles from Bishee. A continuous string of automobiles are going and coming in to and out of the camp at all hours of the night from Bisbee and Douglas. The trip from Douglas in automobile or hack costs $5, or $9 for the round trip, while from Bisbee it costs $3.50 one way.
 The entire townsite where Courtland is now situated is owned jointly by the c. & A. and the Great Western Mining Companies. The c. & A. owns one side of the main street and town and the Great Western the oth- CT. The Copper Queen company is alsp getting into the territory, but the oth- CT two are the largest producers and seem to be working against the last named.
 No lots in the town have been offer ed for sale, although the townsite has been plotted. All buildings that have been erected have been put up by the permission of the owners of the land, with the agreement that they be re- moved within thirty days if the com panies So request. At present tunnels are being run underneath the build

ings and it is probable they will soon give place to mining shafts.
 "Two railroads, the s. P. and the Southwestern, are building into the camp. The $. P. is to build from Peace to Courtland, a distance of nine miles, and will later go into Douglas. Friday morning that company unload ed 400 mules and several grading out fits at Pearee preparatory to begin ming work. This road has a eompara- lively level stretch of country to build over excepting about two miles when the line hears COurtland. !"
 It has been officially announced at Douglas that the s. P. will be into that place within three months.
 Continuing, Mir. Dericks said:
 "The Southwestern at present has a force of workmen at Courtland grad ing for their road and it is said they will also begin building out of Doug las also within a few days. They fig ure to complete the line by June or the first of July.
 "There are numerous smaller towns around Courtland which are develop ing into good camps. The town of Gleason, near that place, mas one or two shafts, and Leadville is a promis- ing camp. Courtland is well govern ed, the owners of the town having po- lice patrol and town officers.
 MT. Derieks is very favorably i'm pressed with the prospects of the new camp and believes it will become a rich one.

HOMESTEAD ENTRY
 CoMBATs PLACER CLAIMS
(From Thursdays Daily)

United States Commissioner J. NJ. W. Moore was engaged all day yester- day listening to testimony in the con test case of the United States versus w. Wilkins and J. Wilkins, applicants for patent on the Drummer placer claim, covering part of the townsite of Humboldt.
 A large number of witnesses were examined. Attorney F. c. Dezendorf represented the United States and At torney General E. S. Clark the defen- dants.
 In establishing the fact that the claims were valuable as placer ground the testimony appeared to be over whelming. More than fifteen witness es testified that they had banned dirt on the claim and found gold.
 A. F. Hazeltine, mining expert and witness for the government admitted that he had banned ten pansful of dirt and found eOlors in two. On cross examination he gave as his opinion that the dirt carried values of at least one cent to the pan. Hazeltine con tended, however, that the land was more valuable as a business location than a placer claim, although he ad- mitted in his testimony that the fifty pounds of dirt banned was worth a cent a pan. The evidence in the ease will be sent to the land office by Com missioner Moore.
 Hearings of three similar cases will commence tomorrow before Commis- sioner Moore.
 Almost the entire male population of Humboldt and Dewey are here as wit nesses in the cases.

TO STUDY LOCO WEED

PHOENIX, Feb. 3.-C. Dwight Marsh of the bureau of plant indus try of the department of agriculture arrived in the city yesterday morning to pursue an investigation of loco weed in this territory. MT. Marsh was in attendance at the convention of the National Live Stock Association at Los Angeles, where he deliveerd an address on this subject Speaking of the weed here, he said yesterday that he believed it was disappearing from the ranges. A few years ago he made a study of it here and had no difficult ty in finding it, but now it has grown somewhat rare.
