tives Tou Velle of Ohio. Hamill of New
Jersey and Korbly of Indiana. will sub
nit a minority report. holding that Saun-
ders is entitled to the seat. Saunders
majority on the face of the returns was
81.

trict was gerrymandered by the redis-
tricting law of 1908 of the state OF Viz
Ginia, and the taking of Floyd county
of the fifth district, now represented by
Saunders. and placing it in the sixth dis
trict Floyd county is republican by

OBJECTS TO CONCESSIONS

corning certain concessions in Asia
Minor long in negotiation between the
Colby NJ. Chester. u. s. n, retired. who
represents a group of American finan-
cial interests.
Recently Baron Marshall Won Bieber-
stein, the German ambassador at Con-
stantinople. represented to the porte that
for the Turkish government to grant
these concessions would be to controvert
the mining law agreed upon by the porte
and the European ambassadors.
Opposed by Railway.
The representations of the German
diplomat appear to have been made at the
instance of the Anatolian Railway Com
pany, which is financed largely by the
Deutsche Bank The railway maintains
at Constantinople a so-called political di-
rector in the person of Prof. Helfferich,
who formerly was connected with the
German foreign Office.
The entrance of American capital to
Turkey is regarded with misgivings by
the German. French and British interests
already there, and these interests would
seem to have united in opposing, by po-
IiticaI pressure at the porte, any favors
to Americans.
The Turkish government. however. en-
courages investments from the United
States, as they will tend to relieve 1t
somewhat of diplomatic pressure when
ever questions relating to finance arise.

WORLD PEACE NOT NEAR
BUT JUSTICE BROWN THINKS
PROGRESS IS BEING MADE.
Urges Yale Law Graduates to Use
Their Influence for the Adolf
ton of War.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, June 21,-In an
address before the graduating class of
the Yale Lazy School yesterday Justice
Henry B. Brown of the Supreme Court of
the United States urged his hearers to do
their part in strengthening the power
of international courts as preventives of
war. He attacked the theory that prep
arations for war are the best assurances
of peace, and cited the case of England
and Germany, saying that they probably
would either go to war eventually or else
agree to curtail their preparations for
war.
There is an increasing dislike and
a dread of war;. said Justice Brown,
(which in the progress of ages may lead
to it's abolition. But I fear that centu-
ries must elapse before this consumma-
ton is reached. The principal motives
which have brought about wars in the
earliest historic periods are as potent
as ever. They cannot be suppressed by
arbitral tribunals. but may be limited
by the growing destructiveness of war,
by the increasing conviction that it's
greatest successes are an inadequate
compensation for its horrors and misery.
Efforts Should Not Cease.
Meanwhile our efforts to bring about
this consummation should never be halted.
Much has been done in that direction, but
vastly more remains to be done. Arma-
ments have not only not decreased, but
never in the history of the world has
there been such complete preparation and
such readiness for war. The excuse
ordinarily given for the maintenance OF
large armies. that they give the most
distinct assurance Of peace, is fallacious.
Large preparations for war by any power
invite similar preparations by others
to meet them, and a collision is ultimate
ly certain to occur:
1.-The most strained relations of the
present day exist between the two powers
best prepared for war. 1t is general
rule that the man who is fully armed
and prepared to defend himself is often
est called upon to do so. The old adage
that the man who is looking for trouble
is apt to find it is as applicable to ma
lions as to individuals. 1t is probably
only q question of time when England
and Germany will either come to blows
or agree to a cessation of naval con-
struction--an example which other ma
lions WIFI hasten to follow"

Opportunities for Lawyers.

Justice Brown concluded his address by
calling attention to the great opportuni-
ties open to lawyers in the new field Of
international litigation and the establish
ment of new principles Of international
law.
How proud any one of you might be. :"
said he, lat the end of his professional
life to say to himself-I, too. have con-
tributed something to bring about an
era of international peace"

Many Are War Veterans.

1t was suggested that many Of the vet
eran employees who are threatened with
dismissal are civil war veterans.
'Ill go as far as any one to provide for
the old soldier" declared Senator Smoot,
II would not vote a civil pension to any
man in the United States, and I will not
allow my vote to start any civil pension"
Senator Smoot indicated, however, that
some form Of contributory plan or a COM
pulsory savings system for government
employees might meet with his support.
You retire army and navy men," sug-
gested Senator Perkins. "Why shouldn't
you retire clerks who have also worked
faithfully for the government all their
lives?'
Senator Perkins again suggested that
an appeal to the President might result
in some provision. through his authority,
for the clerks threatened with dismissal.
But il an expression can be given by
Congress 1t will have much effect de-
clared Mr.. Mcfarland.

score of government clerks who had been
present at the hearing discussed the de-
velopments at the meeting.

The President said he was gathering the
facts in the case as fast as possible. The
affidavits would be filed as part of the
case. to be considered by him when all
