'SATANT PROPOSES
WORLD PEACE PLAN
Or. Stein Would Abolish War by an
Arrangement of Transferring
Territory.

A new plan for effecting world peace
was proposed by DR.. Robert Stein. a
statistician Of the Department Of Agri-
culture, before the washington Peace
Society at its meeting held last night
in the Y. NJ. C. A. Building. DR.. Stein
proposed 10 abolish war among the ma
tons by arranging for a series Of trans
fers OF all pieces OF territory over which
war might arise.
This movement might be started" he
declared, "by the United states cedins
the Panhandle of Alaska to Great Brit
ain, which in turn would cede the Brit
ish West Indies TO US.
France might cede French Congo, with
which she has done nothing, to Germany
which must have colonial possessions on
which to settle the overflow Of her popu-
lation. France could readily spare this
Congo region, as she already has four
times as much colonial area as has Ger
many.
In return for this cession. Germany
could give France the French-speaking
part of Alsace Lorraine, which includes
about one-third of the territory"
The annual election of. officers OF the
Washington Peace Society. held in the
Y. NJ. C. A. Building. resulted as follows:
President, Rev. DR.. S. II. woodrow. pas
tor of First Congregational Church; vice
president, DR.. PhilandeP p. claxton,
United States Commissioner of Educa-
ton; secretary, F. L. Siddons; assistant
secretary, F.. e. Barrows; treasurer,
George w. White, president Of the Ma

ADVOCATED POLICE
And COURT HELP
Maj. sylvester Urges Improvement
Before Congress of Matters of
the District.

A new House Of Detention. improve
ments in the Juvenile Court and an In.
creased police force were urged yester-
day afternoon by Mai. Richard Sylvester
superintendent Of police. before meet
ing Of the Congress Of Mothers of the
District. at the Raleigh. A resolution
that the Congress Of Mothers join the
District Federation of woman's Clubs
was offered and adopted.
There were a number OF speeches by
the members OF the congress In which
they pledged themselves TO do anything
possible to aid the police department in
cleaning up the city. Mrs. Henry T.
Rainey asked Mai. Sylvester for the
suggestion OF some direct personal work
the congress might take UP. saying:
I'VE would do a lot better to be out
on the streets really working than hold
ing meetings and making high-sounding
speeches. What We want is less senti.
ment and more work"
Rev James Shera Montgomery, of the
Metropolitan NJ. Z. Church, suggested a
municipal theater as a means OF prevent
ing crime.
Maj Sylvester discussed crime generally
laying the downfall of humanity. and
particularly of womankind. to poverty.
He spoke of the failure Of the govern
ment to provide adequate means for the
study of crime and of the Bureau OF
Identification of the District police de-
partment which is unable TO properly
carry out its aims because Of lack OF
funds.
The superintendent of police said that
in spite of the fact that there are but
100 patrolmen on the streets of Washing
ton by day and 200 at night. and that
there are 800 regulations to be enforced
side the statutory laws, a perusal OF
the statistics will show that there is an
average of only about Loo criminal +
lenses committed in Washington an
nually.
Mrs. Stephen B. Ayres, Of New York,
said that she found with qualification
that a woman is safe from molestation
on the streets of Washington day or
night, which could not be said Of New
York

the nomination. In figuring up this
number II Is necessary to consider the
contests. If the committee should fail
him he would be far short of the $40
needed for effective results. Unless
the colonel can secure Il portion of the
contested seats he must eventually lose,
unless the fight can be successfully
carried to the floor of the convention.
The fight being waged against the
selection of Senator Elihu Root as tenn
porary presiding officer is attracting

preCiate that work must be done IL
the House Is To be prevented from slid
ing back. into the hands OF the Rcpub-
licans.
At the recent meeting of the COM
mittee three committees were named.
executive. finance and literary, and
these committees will at once busy
themselves with the work Of the cam
paign ,The purpose Is to waste no eff
fort. II Is appreciated that the ques-
tion of controlling the next House
rests with comparatively small part
OF the Congressional districts; that Is,
with the districts which are reason
able close. II Is on these districts the
Democrats viii center their fire.
The extremely close districts will be
given especial attention. Democrats
are now In Congress in a number Of
instances from districts normally Re
publican. Democratic victories were
won in these districts two years ago
Unexpectedly, by reason OF Republican
factionalism and dissatisfaction. Some
OF these districts the Democrats know
they can not hold. Others, they will
try to hold The districts which the
Democrats think they have show of
retaining or ginning, will be carefully
classified and campaigns made In eaCh
of such districts such as the varying
situations seem to warrant.
The piece de resistance of the pollt
ical menu which the Democratic COM
mittee will spread before the voters OF
the land Will be the House record. The
plan will be to show the voters that
the Democratic performances In the
House have Tailed with the promises
of the Democratic platform. II is
thought this will be convincing to the
wielders or the ballot.
