Special Dispatch to The Star.
EVANSVILLE, November S-Prof
Preston Littlepage Peach, son of DIR.
snd Mrs. John Peach of Mitcheilsville
Prince Georges county, Md, sailed from
New York Wednesday on the Lusitania
for Liverpool, en- route to Kuala Lum-
por Malaysia, where he has accepted the
position of principal of the Methodist
Boys High School. Prof. Peach who is
twentynine years old. intends to enter
educational work in the far east as a
life work
The Methodist Episcopal Church has
Instituted in the Malay peninsula five
schools for boys. the largest one. in
Singapore, now having 1,300 scholars and
fifty teachers. The school in kuala Lum-
por, 100 miles north of Singapore, has
iG9 boys and twenty teachers. Accord
ing to Prof. Peach, co-education is ini-
possible in the far east because of ma
tive customs The church has schools
for girls. also. but the problem of the
education of women in that country is
extremely difficult, for the reason that
girls marry when they are twelve or
fifteen years OF age.
The scope of work covered by these
schools is about what is embraced in the
public schools in Maryland. and the first
! two years in the high schools. The
Malay peninsula or Malay federated
states, as it is sometimes called. is un-
Ger the protection of the English gov
eminent and is ruled as in India In
the school over which Prof. Peach will
preside there will be represented nine
races and five religions. 1t is entirely
free of religious restrictions, but the
personnel of the faculty is absolutely
Christian. and the New Testament is
taught as a regular subject.
kuaia Lumpor has a. population OF
about 1900. and is the capital of the
federated states. 1t is. therefore the
home OF many English-speaking people
in that land. The town is thirty miles
back from the sea, and at an altitude OF
J.;sa9 feet The general climate is warm
and is largely affected by the mon
soon" the well known trade winds OF
the Indian ocean. There are eight hospi-
tails in kuala. and the famous medica
research institute of the English gov
eminent is located there. The town has
water system and an electric lighting
plant and is otherwise enjoying moderi
improvements and conveniences.
Prof. Peach received his early educa-
ton in the public schools of his native
county, Prince Georges. In 1879 he en-
tered the Maryland Agricultural Col
leSe. graduating i'll 1903, with the degree
OF mechanical engineer

DENMARK TREATY BROAD.
Arbitration Provisions Believed to
Exceed Even Knox Plan.

The proposed arbitration treaty which
Secretary Bryan says is being consid-
cred by the United States and Denmark
is understood 70 be even broader in its
terms than the Knox treaties with Great
Britain and France, which We're so radi-
cally amended by the Senate twenty
months ago as To DC practically devita
lized. Those treaties provided for the ar
bitration of all questions, even including
those of honor but to conserve the treaty
making powers Of the Senate, provision
was made for Il joint commission to de-
termine the questions 10 be submitted to
arbitration in case OF a dispute between
any of the two countries whose proceed
ngs were subject to the approval Of the
Senate.
While in the present state of the nego-
tiations it is not possible TO develop the
details of the pending convention, it is
believed that it dispenses with this cum
bersome machinery aud reverts 10 the
original idea of the Knox treaties that
all questions without regard TO limitations
shall be subject TO arbitration.
Denmark already has with italy a con-
vention similar TO the one which Minister
Brun seeks to conclude with the United
States.
