YALE CLASS DAY ENDS WITH DANCE Justice Brown Addresses Law Seniors on International
 Courts

New Haven, June 21.-Under condi- tions quite suspicious the festivities connected with the Yale University close last night with the University Glee and Mandolin Clubs concert in Woolsey Hall and the senior prome- made. An interested spectator of the class day exercises and an attendant at the concert and promenade was Miss Helen Taft, daughter of the President, whose brother Robert is a member of this years graduating class.
 The streets are filled with alumni garbed in the fantastic costumes they will wear at the annual commence ment game with Harvard this after noon.
 At the fifth annual meeting of the Alumni Advisory Board the following officers were elected:
 Chairman Henry T. Rogers. Denver; Corresponding Secretary Edward J.. Phelps, Chicago; Executive Commit tee-Henry T. Rogers, Thomas Thacher New York city; James J. Flanders, Milwaukee; John Perrin, Indianapolis George x. McLanahan, Washington; B. J. Phelps, Frederick N. Judson, St. Louis and Frank L. Bigelow, New Haven
 In an address before the graduating class of the Yale Law School yester- day afternoon 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 pre- parations for war are the best assur- anceS of peace, and cited the case of England and Germany.
 There is an increasing dislike and dread of war; said Justice Brown, which in the progress of ages may centuries must elapse before this con- summation is reached.
 Meanwhile our efforts to bring about this cOnsummation should never be halted. Much has been done in that direction, but vastly more re- not only not decreased, but never in the history of the world has there been such complete preparation and such readiness for war.
 'The most strained relations of the present day exist between the two powers best prepared for war. It is a general rule that the man who is fully armed and prepared to defend himself is oftenest called upon to do so. The old adage that the man who is looking for trouble is apt to find 1t is as applicable to nations as to in dividuals. It is probably only a ques- tion of time when England and Ger many will either come to blows or agree to cessat tion of naval con- struction, an example which other ma tions will hasten to follow
