WORLD is MOVING IN DIRECTION
OF PEACE.

The abolition of war is implied
in the very development, of civiliza-
,icn. When barbarians compelled
two tribesmen to settle a dispute by
referring it to an impartial tribunal
the principle of arbitration between
two tribes or nations originated.
When two gentlemen agreed that
questions of personal honor should
be adjudicated by the courts they
opened the door to the final adjudi-
cation of questions even of national
honor by an international court.
The difficulty has been to find or
form a power strong enough TO COM
pei the nations. great states as well
as small ones. to submit all inter-
national disputes. even those CT
honor or policy. to an impartial and
supreme world court of justice. But

In short time the passenger will

lows. coal. steel, dynamite. etc. and
all this had to be taken in in re-

came so quickly that the supplies
had TO be left in the bush on the

How did Mr.. Hunter make the

Twelve Tugs Employed IN Docking
White Star Liner Olympic.
NEW YORK. June Il. - Twelve
stout tugboats strained and pulled
on the White Star liner Olympic to-
day on her arrival from England,
warping the giant steamship of the
seas into her dock. The Olympic
was given noisy welcome as she
moved up the Hudson river. escort
ed by "a fleet of tugs that darted
alongside like pilotfish after a
shark.
The berthing Of the Olympic with
her SS22 feet of length was no
small task. The federal government
had permitted an extension OF one
pier into the river in order to dock
the Olympic, but the greatest care
had to be exercised to prevent the
liner from carrying away the new
temporary extra dock.
The Olympic made an average
speed of 2l.17 knots on her maiden
run to New York, covering the course
in five days. sixteen hours and for
ty-twO minutes.
julius Adler, the pilot who brought
, the Olympic through the harbor
lanes, remarked as he relinquished
the wheel: She handles like cat
