AMERICA MUST
 TAKE LEAD FOR
 WORLDS PEACE
Statement of Admiral BeresfOrd, England's Foremost States. man and Fighter
Understanding Between United States and England Would Stop War, He Says
Especial from United Press }

(SpeClal rom Un1ted PreSS.)
 London, March 15-In a remarkable interview given to the United Press, today, Admiral Lord Charles Beres- ford, one of England's foremost states men and fighting men, declared that America must take the initiative in bringing about world peace and that America and England combined could force international disarmament. This subject is uppermost in the British mind today. as the result of Foreign Secretary Grey's warm approval of President Taft's recent recommends tion of an all-inclusive Anglo-Ameri- can arbitration treaty. Lord Beres- ford claims the credit for originating the idea of such 6 treaty. His state ment follows:
 By Admiral Lord Charles Beresford. ) in New York, in August, 1909, I de- clared in favor of an arbitration treaty by the United States and Eng land to settle disputes. believed then, and I believe now, that such a treaty would insure the worlds peace and ultimate disarmament.
 I must not suggest a formal alli- ance. as I believe that a simple un- derstanding would be sufficient. If the United States and England agreed to use their influence and resources to keep peace it is hard to conceive of any other nation attempting war. Without such an agreement the inter national race for armaments will in evitably result in universal bank rutcy or an early war. There can be no other outcome.
 America must take the initiative in this movement. England is the cause the seizing of her trade routes in the event of war would cripple her desperately within a week. To Eng land. war is a matter of life or death while to other great powers it would merely be a circumstance. Therefore, England must maintain her lead in armaments at any sacrifice. England her peace views on the rest of Eur ope.
 But the United States is absolutely invulnerable. Any of her assailants would be eaten up. Therefore. she is well able to take the lead in es- tablishing universal arbitration
 If unable to establish the peace principle unaided, America could un- doubtedly succeed with England's CO., operation. Wars of aggrandizement are easier to prevent than wars where honor Is involved, but even the latter would be preventable if the disput- ants knew that it would be made diff ficult for them to fight.
 For instance, the United States and England, practically controlling the worlds markets, could make impossi- ble the conduct of long struggle be- tween two countries. I care not which two are named. This control of the markets, backed by the combined fleets of the two countries. would in evitably render war impossible.
 This is why I want America to take the first steps. I think England would follow. If the administrations of the two nations do not act let the two great Anglo-Saxon families move spontaneously.

 per cent-greater than that of any
 city in it's class save Cleveland. But
 what of our other cities? The Unit
 ed States now has 475 communities
 of 2,5O0 inhabitants or more. Since
 the last census Newark, Los Angeles,
 Minneapolis, and Jersey City have
 reached the 250.000 mark, making
 total of nineteen cities with over a quarter of a million. Fourteen cit
 ies, within the decade, have passed the 100000 mark, making a present total of fifty in this class, with an ag- gregate population of over 20,000,00O. In the same period seventy cities have advanced above the 25,OOO mark, making a tctal of IFS. This group
 .. hn vs an aggregate rate of increase of 39.1 per cent. and it's growth has been more than third faster than that of the cities in the two higher groups. Of our communities number ing between 2,500 and 25.00O there are 228, and one-third of them show an increase of fifty per cent in the past ten years. In the North there are 164 of them; in the South 43; in the West 21. But the most start ling rate of increase is shown by two cities in Oklahoma, a sparsely settled State. Oklahoma City is more than five and one-third times as populous as in 1900, and Muskogee nearly five times. Meanwhile the population of the State itself has but little more than doubled. - Next to these, the most rapidly growing city is Birnling ham, Alabama.-Robert Sloss, in IIarper's Weekly.

PARK THEATRE

In these days of suggestive com eoles and plays that may, at the best be called doubtful. when the public taste seems to run to the yellower side of the theatre, it is more or less oarlng for a manager to present a musical play which is entirely with out suggestion of coarseness or vul- gar1ty. Yet this is what Jos M. Gaites claims to have done in the Which MiM wi be 5asg psy at R1ght Pdh EyfT for two nights. Tuesday and Wednes- day, March 2i and 22. MT. Gaites ex- plains his daring by the statement that he believes the public is begin ming to tire of vulgarity and is ready again for musical plays that depend tirely on clean bright fun, catchy music and beautiful stage pictures. He says that the phenomenal success of Three Twins" which is by the well as of the new play during a short tour and a long New York run last season proves that this is the class of entertainment people want. "I have never given the public any thing but perfectly clean comedy in ''and the fact that hundreds of thou sands of people have laughed over them and have returned again and again to see them assures me that it Is not necessary even in these days to stoop to vulgarity in order to be successful. I am going to continue to produce musical plays for your mother and your daughter as we'll as for you and when people in this country no longer want that sort of plays I'll go into some other sort of business"
 Whenever you think of it. ask your oldest relative to name the first play he or she ever attended. It is safe to wager the answer will be. Stetson's Uncle Toms Cabin" a play that has survived all others and today gives time to come. Hundreds of new pro auctions are offered during each sue ceeding theatrical season at an ag- gregate expense of thousands of dol- lars. The majority of these prove failures, some survive for a year or two, while a limited few are sue cesses. The latter endure for few years, with gradually diminishing power to attract the public. One of the special features introduced this season in Stetson's Uncle Toms Cabin,'' which will be presented at the Park Theatre, Monday, March 20th, is a thrilling realistic chase after fugitive slaves with the aid of a specially trained pack of ferociods man. eating blood-hounds. The dogs were purchased from Sheriff Carleton of Kosciusko, Miss, by whom they were used for the last three years in the trailing of evil-doers, not only in his own county but in much outside territory as well.

HAYWOOD TO ADDRESS NEWLY FORMED LABOR GROUP HERE

Tonight in Lincoln hall, the newly formed Brotherhood of Machinists, an organization opposed to the American Federation of Labor, will hold mass meeting for the purpose of promoting a sentiment in favor of industrial un- ionism' as opposed to trades union ism
 For this meeting the new organiza- ton has secured William D. Haywood as the principal speaker. Haywood is world famous through his connection with the labor war in Colorado and Idaho a few years ago. It was at that time that Haywood, Mover and Petit bone, officials of the Western Feder- ation of Miners, were kidnapped in Denver and carried into Idaho, where they were placed on trial for compli- city in the murder of former Governor Steuenenberg of that State. After a trial which aroused the nation, they were completely exonerated.
 Since that time Haywood has been working for industrial unionism, as op- posed to the regular craft unions. The newly formed Brotherhood of Ma chinists' here is proposed to take in not only machinists, but every worker in the metal industry.

THE COLD AND WARM
 WATERS OF THE SEA

The specific gravity of sea water depends on both salinity and temper ature. Any bulk of cold water is heavier than an equal bulk of warm water; hence when the salter water of the tropics is borne toward the poles and cooled, it sinks toward the bottom and flows slowly as a deep current toward the equator, where it is again drawn slowly to the surface to supply the place of the warm wa ters which are carried poleward by the prevalilng an winds and ocean cur. these currents is modified by the TO- tation of the earth, the distribution of the land, and other causes.
 The atmospheric gases - oxygen and nitrogen-are absorbed at the sea surface, more abundantly in cold than in warm latitudes; hence these gases are carried down to the great est depths in the general water cir culatfon Of the open ocean. The OK ygen is used by the enormous num- Der Of marine animals, and conse- quently diminishes in quantity as it is carried down from the surface and over the bottom, but the quantity of nitrogen remains constant In the open ocean there is usually abund- ance or oxygen even at the greatest depth, but this is not the case in par tially enclosed seas which are more
 5, II the deeper layers vertical circulation is restricted. An extreme example is the Black Sea, where in deep water sulphuretted hydrogen is abundant, and life, with the exception of bac- teria, is absent It has been found that these submarine barriers also determine the temperature of the water in the deeper layers of partial ly enclosed seas like the Mediterran- can, the Red Sea. and the Sulu Sea. All the water below the level of the summit of the barrier or sill has a constant temperature: for instance, the Mediterranean has a temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit from a depth of 1so fathoms (the level of the barrier to the bottom, whereas the temperature in the open Allan tic outside the Strait falls gradually from the surface to the bottom. where the lowest temperature is met with. Similarly in the Red Sea, the temperature is constant at 70 degrees Fahrenheit from a depth of 200 fathoms (the level of the barrier at the Strait of Babel Mandeb) 60 the bottom.-Sfr John .Ac>~-- in Har- per's Magazine for March.

IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED BY
 PARK BOARD

The royal and select park board laid plans last night for the expendi- ture of $53,000 during the coming summer. A baseball diamond and athletic field will be located at the northerly end of Beardsley Park. The final payment of $3,000 will be paid toward the purchase of the Payer weathers' Island tract. The sum of S2,O00 will be expended upon the erives at Seaside Park. Old Mill Green will be developed this summer as much as it can be for $1,500. The U. M. c. Go. has offered to deed the board some, land at the east end of park, and President George M. Eames was made a committee to take up the matter with the company. The sum of S1.500 will be spent this year im- proving the Hathaway addition at the northern end of Beardsley Park The necessary apparatus for public play grounds at Yellow Mill Park and Lafayette Park in the near future. The board will install 500 mere seats in the parks this year and a proposi- tion by Commissioner Charles Han son to install lockers in the bath houses was taken under considera- tion.

THE GROWTH OF OUR CITIES.

No country on earth exhibits such a rapid growth of cities as is revealed for our own by the census of 1910. Nearly half (forty-five per centO of the population of continental United States is now urban, that is, living in communities og 2.500 or over. Our cities of 25,000 or over have grown in the decade nearly fifteen per cent. more rapidly than the rest of the country. They now contain nearly one-third of our population, and in the North more than forty per cent. Thus the city with it's complexities has become the most acute problem in a country whose largest community in 1790, Philadelphia, numbered but lit tie over 10000.
 The arrival and multiplication of the foreign-bor are quite enough to account for the remarkable growth

INSURGENTS MEAN TO SMASH STATE
 LABOR FEDERATION

Norwich, March 15-Will the gener- als of the Connecticut State Fedora tion of Labor soon be left without an army? This was the question mooted in labor circles today over the spread of insurgent movements in the labor ranks of the State. Last week Nor wich Typographical Union, No. 100, unanimously withdrew from the State Federation. A month ago the propo- sftion was defeated. The Norwich Central Labor Union and all affiliated locals are now outside of the State Federation.
 The Hartford c. l.. U leads the in surgent faction. In nearly every cen- tral labor body in the State a large majority is working to undermine the present control of the State Fedora ton. Besides Norwich and Hartford several central bodies have withdrawn from the organization and hundreds of individual unions around the State never affiliated themselves with the State body.
 The agitation revived in this city served notice on President Donohue and his packers that the insurgent movement is slowly getting in it's heavy blows at the powers in control. The charge that the New Haven man had played politics with his labor standing is heard at every State con- yention.

IN THE THEATRES
POLI'S.

Thfrty-three years ago this month Mcintyre and Heath appeared on the stage of what is now Poli's Theatre, and were principal comedians with the Alice Oates light opera company. Speaking of the appearance here of that company, MT. Heath said last night that from that time to this he ganization that could measure up in talent with that organization of more than thirty years ago, and that the singers, comedians, dancers and other types in the days gone by were pos sessed of more ability than in the present day is a claim made over and over again, and those who see the team of Mcintyre and Heath at Polls this week find much of substantiation in that claim. Their present offering in identically the same manner in which 1t Is presented has been offer ed for twenty-five years. Today there Is the same laughter producing quali- ties in 1t and the business and talk that made the theatre-goers of more than a score of years ago laugh is making the younger generation laugh. It is not so much what is said but it Is the manner in which it is put across the footlights that makes for the success of the act. Mcintyre is without doubt the greatest delinea- tor of low comedy darky on the stage. and Heath Is without peer in a semf-straight speciality Not alone for its amusing qualities but as. a study in what survives on the stage Is the act worth seeing. The gener- ous reception the pair get on their first appearance and the tumult of ap- plause at the finish of the act tells its own story.
 Manager Poli has not Iessened the quality of the rest of the bill, as per example offering Jack and Violet Kelly, the wonderful Australian whip snappers. in their great speciality. and Hoyt Lessig and company in the grip ping vital sketch, The District At torney." Then for good measure may be seen Laypo and Benjamin, novelty acroba.ts, in a great act; Standish Sisters, the sweet singing comed- iennes; The Venetian Four, in a classy instrumental act, and Ward and Gull len, the smart style singing artists The bill is positively the most costly ever booked for Polls, and at the same time the most meritorious and diversified of any shown this season.

Choosing Presidents
 in the Early Days.

History records that George Wash ftngton was chosen President of the United States without first having been nominated and even without an opposing candidate. So was his sue cessor in office, John Adams. In the language of the street. the Pres tdency was. in the case of each of these distinguished patriots, hand s ed to him on a silver platter" The Presidency went, as it were. by com mon consent to the founders of the republic to whom a grateful people looked for continued service and gui- dance
 In the early days observation-disclosures king. according to the primitive way. was as simple compared to modern methods as . kindergarten exercise beside . course in four-dimension
 ges. although gradual, have been marked and have led. up to our pres .ent complicated convention nomina- tions that make the Electoral College but c mechanical device for register ling the popular decision as between ,fiuke that almost installed Aaron Burr as President, instead of Thomas | J efferson, that forced the initial mod lifcations of the plan of President choosing agreed upon by the framers of the Constitution.
 Originally, members of the Elec- Itoral College were to vote for two tpersons, the one receiving the high
 est number of votes to be President and the next highest to be VicePres- i1dent- The danger of a succession n that would pull the political lever
 each time from one side to the other made imperative the change by which the Electors should vote for only one person for President and for another Tor Vice-President- Two or three ob- ject-lessons, too, of irresponsible and Ihaphazard action by the Electoral
 College. throwing the choice of Pres ident to the House or of Vice-Presi- : dent to the Senate because no one
 had a majority of the votes cast, showed the necessity of centering the efforts of the newly aligned political parties each on a single Presidential ticket and of imposing on the mem- lbers of the Electoral College a moral obligation to cast their ballots uni Iforrniy for the nominees of the party which had elected them.
 The forerunner of our national nominating convention was the eau ,cus or conference of members of Con-
 gress of the same political faith who got togeethr on thier own initiative and without any mandate from their constituents assumed to advise as to who, in their judgment, was entitled ito be recognized as the party stan l. ard-bearer. This caucus must neces- sarily have proved to be too crude and unsatisfactory to serve long es the Presfdent-choosing machinery. In such an assemblage, only those States and districts represented in Congress by members of one and the same po- 1itical party had a voice and all the others were left without representa- fion- It was to remedy these de- fleets and to enable the rank and file of the parties, wherever they might be. to exercise at least a nominal con- <hA i11 that the national convention, meet ing every four years, came to be evolved as we know it.-Frorn Pres ident-Choosing-Old Ways and New.' by Victor Rosewater, in the Ameri- can Review of Reviews for March.
