WORST TALKED OF
WORLD PEACE
MEANING or PEACE DAY WAS
SUBJECT or INTERESTING ADJ
DRESS AT a. G. CHAPEL TODAY
-ARRITRATIoN is THE ONLY
RIGHT WAY.

&r#tHeA
President Worst delivered a SPLEEN
did address at the A. G. c~onvocation
this morning on The Meaning Of
Peace day.
Right n wrong cannot be settled
by lighting" said President Worst.
THE better way is by arbitration.
The strong is more skilIful than the
weak and will get the better in a
fight, but that does not mean that the
dispute Is settled right.
Arbitration should do more In
settling a dispute, than the courts.
and with far less bitterness after
wards.
War takes the strong men, the
men OF brains and energy and leaves
a weak. 1T has been estimated that
$1,000, 100000 men including many OF
the highest type Of mankind have
been sacrificed in battle since the
world began.
THE $200,000,000 spent annually in
the United States on the navy and
army would be far better expended
in the prevention Of disease, in MAX
ing better schools and public highways
and in the general betterment of the
country.
1.-THE arbitration idea must grow.
1t cannot be brought about by one
nation, but the idea will eventually
spread to include a great interna-
tional union

Eyenina Grain Letter.

Chicago, May 2O.-Wheat; The mar
ket opened at q shade decline from
saturdays prices but broke sharply on
further scattered liquidation, the ex-
trerne decline being over 2 cents per
bushel from the high point OF the mar
ket, the same being attributable to a
lack OF new buying power. On the
decline, there was a better cash busl-
ness. and locally sales were reported
In the neighborhood of 10000 usheis
IT seems to us, from a purely specu-
lative standpoint, that there has oeen
decline enough in the market for the
time being. The rate at which the
visible supply is decreasing with GER
tainty leaves us with very small sup
plies at the end of the crop year ana
