FIRE DEPARTMENT IS
GETTING DAILY CALL
GRASS FIRES CAUSE FIVE or TEN
RUNS IN PAST TEN DAYS.
LITTLE DAMAGE.

The Tulsa fire department during
the past ten days has responded to ten
fire alarms. Luckily the total dam
age by fire was nominal. but the les
son afforded citizens in the fires is a
lasting one
|" Two of the fires were started by gas
stoves and in both instances the dam
age amounted to practically nothing.
Grass fires, which are always prevail
lent at this time of the year. were the
cause of five of the runs and in each
case the fire was put out before any
property had been greatly endangered.
Carlessness is ascribed as the cause
G,. a fire in a barn at Third street
and Lansing avenue, where the dam
age amounted to SIS.
Friday afternoon the department
answered call from the Robinson
hotel where some dish rags had caught
fire in the kitchen. No damage was
done. SO excited were the attaches of
the place when they saw the smoke in
the kitchen that they telephoned the
alarm to police headquarters instead
OF the fire station.

Sir Edward intimated that there had
been no understanding between the

Russia in regard to the terms Of the

1--WE have expressed the opinion that

Sir Edward Grey reiterated that he

out that while Russia had promised
that the occupation would be tempor-
airy, the situation demanded serious
attention in view Of its ultimate pos

Even as late as 1907 no human be-
ing could have anticipated the evOlu-
ton of aviation in the last two years.
So these sturdy announcements
against utilization of balloons for the
violently aggressive and destructive
forms of war were passed without
any particular difficulty. J:
What will the next great peace
conference do? Will it stand by the
action of the former ones and pro-
hibit aerial use of explosives?
Or will it surrender a point gained
simply because aerial navigation is
liable to become a potent factor in
war?
This question is but a single ex-
ample of the many paradoxical rid
dies which must be guessed before
the solution of the prOfoundest Of
enigmas-how to maintain the rights
of nations and the sentiment of pa
triotism. and still eliminate war as

PEACE AND ARBITRATION.

Contrary to the quite general i'm
preston. arbitration of disputes be-
tween nations is not a novelty in the
worlds historv-not modernism go
ing back little farther than The
Hague tribunal and mainly eXempli-
fled i'm the treaties now existing. Ar
bitration was known among the an
cient Greek republics. 1t received a
new impetus in the Middle Ages.
Then the popes were the acknowl-
edged arbitrator Of international con-
troversies. and wars were not infre-
quently prevented by their mediation
With the Renaissance came a reagi-
tation Of the possibilities of applying
the law instead of war to the adjust
ment of national quarrels.
Henry " of France and his min
ister Sully. were so prodigiously in
advance Of their times that they
formed the scheme of confederation
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1911-08-19

of all European powers, one of the
chief features of the project being
the submission of all cOntrOverted
rights to a tribunal of international
jurisdiction.
The ancient origin of arbitration af-
fords us a just criterion of the diff
ficulties in the way of achieving IT..
and of the progress made in it in the
last few years.
Allowing the antique precedents all
the credit to which they are entitled.
it must be admitted, even by the most
pessimistic. that the strides made by
International arbitration in the last
two decades have excelled all the
progress in this path during the rest
Of the centuries of world history.
Yet. civilization itself by its vast
ness and compleXity, inventive genius.
by the Unforeseen conditions it Gre
ates, develop difficulties which retard
the accomplishment not only of peace,
but even of humane conduct of war.
A singular instance of this is fur
nished by the problem opened up by
aerial navigation.
The agreements signed at The
Hague in 1899 declared against the
practice of hurting projectiles from
military balloons. The conference of
1907. in which fifty nations partici-
pated. adopted a resolution that bal
looms should not be used for throw
ing Of explosives.
