 made public, was given by Assistant Attorney General James A. Fowler, Ia Tennesseean, who held office until a year or two ago, at times as act ling head of the department of jus lice, and to whom the whole matter
 of the boards legality was referred | oy MT. Wickersham. The Fowler opinions effect would have been q body blow at the ultra scientific ref- cree board, challenging not only the legality but the wisdom of the boards existence.

for of nations should not be arbitrat- Jed; that in his opinion these ques- tinns were as susceptible of dispas- sionate arbitratlons as any other of international issues. The trencn ambassador, NJ. Jusserand, instantly offered on behalf of his government to enter into such treaty relations.
 The suggestion, taken up in earnest was followed by eight months of hard work in putting the idea into con- crete form. The British government was quick to realize the advantages to be gained by an internarsCna Iagreement, which is extended to na- tions other than the United States would tend -~ssward the realization or the dream of universal limitation of armaments. and in the end of unlyer- sal limitation Of armaments, and in the end of universal peace.

international in character and there fore while it was possible to nave wound up the British negotiations several weeks ago, the state depart ment purposely held them in abey- Rnce until the French negotiations could be advanced. Thus it became feasible to sign the two conventions on the same day.
 Because of the tradition that the text of no treaty shall be made pub lie until the United States senate has acted upon it, the language ant - tails of the conventions are still with held from publication but their gen eral substance is known.
 It is the intention of the president and Secondary Knox to follow the ac- ton taken today by negotiating like conventions with as many of the great powers as are willing to enter into similar arrangements. Already pro- gross has been maintained in prepar- ing for such treaties with Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden and Sweden and there is reasonable ex- pectation that Japan will soon be a party to the negotiations.
 No great confidence is expressed by senators in the speedy ratifica- tion of the British American arbitra- tion treaty. The question has been informally discussed among members of the foreign relations committee and some expressed the opinion that it is technically defective in the methods provided for bringing subjects ps- fore the arbitration tribunal. Pon- tieal objections also have been pre- scented to individual senators and IL IS believed that on the eve of na- ficatiou will receive deliberate at fication will receive daiNkrate aS l tention.

Portugal's Revolt

Lisbon, Via Fr3ntier) Oct. 13.-It is
Reported here that part % the Eoyalist
command left Sierra Da Corda and re-
treated across the border into Spain,
where they were reinforced and again
re-entered Portuguese territory in the
vicinity of Segiere about u miles from
Cbayes. The reinforced column aggrc-
gates about $500 men. A newspaper
here says the Royalists are armed with
Kropatsehal, Mauser and Remington
rifles and that there are about 40eo Of
them along the Spanish Portuguese
frontier. The newspaper says. however.
that they seem greatly disheartened
1t is rumorcd that a fight took place
last night in which the Royalists sus-
tanned heavy losses and were forced to
retreat. Details Of this engagement are
not yet obtainable here.
The Republicans have four batteries Of
heavy artillery at Terra Da Pillar, and
much surprise has been caused by their
never being brought into action against
the Monarchists. The newspaper Novi-
vades says a document has been discov-
cred which shows that the Monarchists
distributed $4,000 among the artillery
men with the proviso that they should
not be fired upon. This statement has
caused a sensation here and the gov
ernment has started an inquiry.
1t has been ascertained that Capt
Couciere, the leader of the Royalists,
has made another appeal to the Brazalian
Monarchists for s2500,00o, which he says
is necessary for the purchase of addt-
tional arms, ammunition and provisions
In his appeal Couciere assures the Bra
italians that the last. money they for
warded was well employed and that tnls
fact will be apparent whether the Roy
alists are victorious or suffer defeat. The
newspapers today print the following copy

regarding school affairs. In addition 10
this he is holding seachers' meetings
