NATIONS FOR PEACE
ARBITRATION TREATIES ARE
SIGNED BY THREE COUNTRIES.
compacts Result From Suggestion OF
Taft In Speech Made in
Washington.

Washington.-Three of the great
world powers have taken a long
stride toward the goal of universal
peace. Arbitration treaties binding
the United States and Great Britain
and France. respectively, were signed
at the White House in Washington in
the presence of a notable gathering
OF officials and at the ministry of for
eign affairs in Paris.
Secretary of State Knox signed the
two treaties in behalf of the United
States. James Bryce, the British am
bassador, affixed his signature in be-
half of Great Britain, thus completing
the Anglo-American pact, with the ex.
ception of ratification by the senate.
The French treaty was signed in
duplicate in Paris six hours earlier
by j. ]. Jusserand, ambassador to the
United States.
As soon as the copies of the two
treaties had been signed President
Taft affixed his signature to two
measures for transmittal to the senate
The general features of the new
tASdtkS5 are.
All differences internationally justi-
ciable shall be submitted to The
Hague. unless by special agreement
some other tribunal is created or Sc
lected.
Differences that either country
thinks are not justicable shall be re-
ferred to a commission of inquiry
composed of nationals of the two gov
ernments, empowered to make recon.
mendations for their settlement
Should the commission decide that
the dispute should be arbitrated, such
decision will be binding.
Before arbitration is resorted to,
even in cases where both countries
agree that the difference is suscep-
tible of arbitration, the commission of
inquiry shall investigate the dispute
with view of recommending a settle
ment without arbitration.
The commission, at request of either
government, will delay it's findings one
year to give an opportunity for diplo-
matte settlement.
The convention grew directly out of
President Taft's speech in Washing
ton, December Is last, before the
American Society for the Judicial Set.

TAFT ISSUES PLEA
PRESIDENT ASKS SUPPORT OF
PEOPLE IN BEHALF OF ARRI-
TRATioN PAcTs.
METH0DlSTs HEAR APPEAL
Wants Moral influence of Nation
Used on Senators to Ratify Peace
Conventions With France, England,
Nicaragua and Honduras.

Mountain Lake Park, Md.--Presi-
dent Taft travelled 400 miles through
Maryland and West Virginia by spe-
cial train to appeal to the people of
the United States to use their moral
influence to have the senate ratify
the British and French arbitration
treaties.
His appeal was made direct to the
Mountain Lake Park Chautauqua of
the Methodist Episcopal church, but
In 1t the president included the rest
Of the nation as well.
Il observe" said the president, that
there is some suggestion that by rati-
flying this treaty, the senate may in
some way abdicate it's function of
treaty making. confess myself to
Seing unable to perceive the logic in
any such point.
TO have these treaties not ratified
by the senate of the United States or
to have any hesitation and discussion
of a serious character in respect to
them would halt the movement toward
general peace, which has made sub
stantiai advance in the last ten years.
To secure the ratification Of the treat
les therefore, appeal must be made to
the moral sense of the nation and
while that is not entirely in the keep
ing of the churches, certainly they
may exert a powerful influence in the
promotion of any effective instru-
mentality to secure permanent peace. +"
Leaving the arbitration treaties be-
hind, the president asked for the same
sort of popular support of the treaties
with Honduras and Nicaragua.
There is no issue before the senate
SO acute in respect to the cause of
peace as the confirmation of these
Central American treaties" said the
president while | admit the greater
Importance of universal treaties of ar
bitration, in the long run and as affect
ing the world at large, yet in respect
of American interests, in respect of
peace in this hemisphere, they are
not equal in Importance to the con-
firmation of these Central American
treaties
In making his plea for the Central
American conventions, the president
highly praised former President
Roosevelt. He spoke of the tendency
of the United States to extend their
helping hand to less powerful people,
and instanced Mr.. Roosevelts inter-
vention in Cuba.

Nancy and Edo, each worth more thar
that. But the English lot is extra fine
and l an depending on them to star
a strain of poultry which will leaC
poultry raising in the South.
Mrs. Stonestreet began her poultry
yard in a small way, with no pa"ticu
lar intention of making more than d
hobby of it. She purchased an incu
batOr and set $50 eggs. The incu
bator Matched 112 chickens, and When
they were of broiling size their enter
prising owner sold ninety-eight OF
them for so cents each With the
money received from this sale she
purchased another incubator and set
400 eggs. Out of the 400 eggs set 1925
Matched, and two months later she
had all told in her chicken yard $50
broilers. The sale of these broilers
gave her enough money to start into
the business on a larger scale, and in
stead of going in for quantity Mrs.
Stonestreet began the experiment of
raising only full-blooded poultry.
The result is that while she has not
so many chickens, every one of the
pretty fluffy fellows is worth good
deal. Their eggs alone sell for 81
apiece, and So great is the demand for
them that she keeps a little book
called her waiting list, which at
present has several dozen names of
farmers all over Tennessee, Alabama
and Kentucky who want a dozen or so
to start strain of the famous White
Orpingtons.
The young poultry raiser, though a
pioneer in the business, is very opti-
mistic, She expects 20 make $4,000
in ten years on White Orpingtons, and
out of that sum will spend not more
than $4,000. In other words, she eX-
poets to clear at least $4,000 in ten
years on chickens! And she is not
going about it in a vague, haphazard
way, either. She is allowing for loss
and panics and the like. And if you
wonder how she is going to make all
that money she can bring out bit of
paper and within a few minutes you
can see for yourself just how the en-
terprise is to be worked.
"The Park Poultry Yards" are to
be opened up in September, just in
time to receive the lot of fine stocks
now on its way from England While
their owner has kept in personal touch
through correspondence with other
noted poultry raisers, she intends run
ming things along methods of her own.
So far her success has been so re-
markable and her optimism is so great
that it is probable this Southern
woman pioneer chicken raiser will
make herself famous before she gets
through.
