Grandfather Frog was being carried he

faster than the others ran ahead and
whispered in Grandfather Frogs ear
that they were coming to help him. But
poor old Grandfather Frog couldn't be
comforted. He couldn't see what there
was that the Merry Little Breezes could
do. His legs smarted where the strin g
cut into the skin, and his head ached,
for you know he was hanging head down.
No, sir, Grandfather Frog couldn't be

he couldn't see any way out Of 1t. He

So he went whistling on his way until
he reached the Long Lane leading from
the Green Meadows UP to Farmer

the Long Lane than something happened
A great cloud of dust and leaves and
tiny sticks was dashed in his face and
nearly choked him. Dirt got In his eyes.
His hat was snatched from his head and
went sailing over into the gardens. He
dropped Grandfather Frog and felt for
his handkerchief to wipe the dirt from

'Phewr' exclaimed Farmer Browns

WAR POLICY OF NATIONS
DENOUNCED BY SPEAKER
Arguments for Universal
Peace From the Economic
and Moral Standpoints.

With sarcasm and argument, the policy
of the great nations to be prepared fol
war was held up vivisected and finally
dumped into an inglorious heap last night
by Bernard Noel Langdon-Davies. 3
member Of the Carton. Foundation OF
England, which is working for universal
peace. The lecture was given at the Pup-
lie Library under the auspices of the
Washington Peace Society
Mr.. Langdon-Davies took up the entire
question of militarism in much detail, ex-
planned the attitude of the militarists,
took up various arguments advanced oy
them. and gave reasons to show these
arguments were illogical and without
foundation. The speaker did not conilne
his criticisms to any one country, Out
fired at everything within range.
Winning of Moral Qualities.
1T is argued that nations win good
moral qualities through war;" said the
speaker. Nations do not win good moral
qualities through winning war, but by
losing war, it is said Therefore, If any
one advances that argument he should
argue that his country should have the
weakest army so as to be sure to be de-
feated. / will admit that nations do gain
some good moral qualities through losing
war Just as a person gains some good
moral qualities through having cancer, or
indirectly through any evil. But surely
that does not mean that we should go
about spreading cancer bacilli or educat-
ing our children in vice"
a big fleet is not necessary to protect
trade with other countries, according to
the peace advocate, and he pointed to
Norway as an example of this. Switzer-
land and Belgium were also cited. The
commerce of the nations is not SO inter
locked and so interdependent, he said,
that a blow at any one nation was bound
to affect all, and that therefore it was to
the interests of all nations to protect all
trades.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, October 22-Tales
of alleged outrages In the state and
city of Durango, Mexico. were related
yesterday at Red Cross headquarters by
refugees who arrived on the transport
ports.
''One Of the worst outrages discussed
on board the Buford," said Mrs. Mary
Towelston of Durango. EN- route to Car
rizozo, n. NJ. was that inflicted on n
yourg American and his wife at Durango.
The revolutionists of Gen. Carranza
seized the couple in their home. They
roped the husband fast and tied his wife
to her bed. where they finally killed her.
''Twenty-seven Americans were lined
I'D against building in Durango to be
shot by the rebels. but just as the first
man was to be executed a Mexican maid
rushed in front of him and pleaded for
his life. Other Mexican girls joined in
the plea for mercy, and the Americans
were spared.
No Mercy for the Rich.
while there has been some restraint
in the tendency to rob and murder so far
as Americans are concerned, no mercy is
shown rich Mexicans. All through Du-
range the fine residences of the rich have
been turned into stables by the rebels It
is common to see mansions with horses
heads protruding from the parlor win
lows while the wives of rebel soldiers
parade in fine silk gowns. displaying all
manner of jewelry.
Whatever the rebels seize and cannot
use Immediately they burn to prevent its
recapture."
one man reached ManZanillo from Du-
range entirely naked. according to the
refugees.
Another, w. I. Dawson. who started
with SLIGO. reached Guaymas with only
a shirt and a pair of trousers, the rebels
having robbed him of even his shoes. hose

of him in such a dreadful position he

Merry Little Breezes. For a minute they
were perfectly still. They forgot all
about being merry and dancing.

Plans for an ideal city, the capital OF

the betterment of mankind "by combining
the highest forms Of Intellectual artistic
and scientific accomplishments of all ma
lions" are contained in a copy of a large
volume just published by the World-Con-
science Society an International society

munication. A copy of the volume. con-
tanning many magnificent illustrations,
has been presented to the Smithsonian

This work is the result of many years
of labor by the author. Hendrix c. An
derson of Rome, in collaboration with r..
Hebrard, architect for the French govern
ment, and many noted artists, architects
and engineers. The society and the au-
thor Lave fixed upon no particular loca-
ton for the proposed capital, but suggest
sites in England, France. Belgium Hol-
land, Italy, and, oddly enough, for the
United States, on the coast of New Jer-

object of this gigantic task has been to
promote the interests of progress, eco
nomics, fraternity and peace. and to de-
veIop world unity by deepening the SYM

Attacks Armament Firms.

That the great armament firms in
Europe are largely responsible for the
war talk continually in progress there
was asserted by the lecturer. He ex-
planned that one of these firms owned
eleven newspapers, with which it con-
tinuaIly dashed the war spirit with the
result, of course of increasing its own
work The people. he said, exist only by
formenting nations.
He pointed out that individuals have
long since given up the individual war"
the duel-recogniZing that it is not al
ways the right side that is victorious.
War does not settle the issue" de-
clared Mr.. LangdonDavies. 1T is only
a side issue" He added that the fear
of attack by other nations was to be
found in all nations. No one is advocat-
ing the maintenance of armies and navies
for attacking other nations, said the
speaker, but all are afraid they will
be attacked by some other nation. He
pointed out that In various countries
were to be found war bugaboos, one OF
the chief being Japan.

Five Hundred Copies Issued.

Five hundred Of these volumes are being
distributed to the principal Libraries and
scientific institutions of the world. as well
as to the heads and officials of the various
nations. In this way it is hoped to reach
the general public. besides the more adj
vanced theorists and scientists.
The volume is a remarkable piece of
reproductions of plans. elevations and
perspective views of the different build
ings, groups of statuary and gardens
which are to be constructed. 1t is dated
1913, and was published In Paris The
author has dedicated his gigantic work
to his brother, Andreas NJ. Andersen, who
for some time cherished the general
scheme of a central city, and worked
upon the early propositions with the
author.
The first part is general treatment Of
the historical aspect of architecture and
urbanism by Prof Gabriel Leroux of the
University of Bordeaux. 1t lis devoted to
tracing briefly the chief architectural con-
ceptions that have definitely marked the
growing phases Of human development In
several parts of the world, and to noting
the purposes these conceptions have
labor spent upon developing and beauti-
flying them. The second part of the book
presents architectural plans and sugges-
tons for conveniently and harmoniously
meeting the incipient need which 1t Is
felt sooner or later will give evidence of
becoming vital necessity to all parts Of
the inhabited worid-that is, the need of
an international world center of commu-
nication.

Tower 1000 Feet in Height.

Hero stands the Tower of Progress, a
combination of skyscraper and an
Eiffel tower, 1000 feet in height, in which
1t is planned to locate central station
for the public carriers and communica-
societies, the world press and irterna-
tional press bureau. Wireless colnmnni-
cation and other universal interests will
have their headquarters located on the
many floors. This great tower. in the
center of the main square. forms the
heart of both the International center
and the city proper. In every direction
from 1t radiate the broad avenues of the
city which is divided into quarters and
zones readily connected with the monu-
mental group of buildings by spacious
avenues The quarters comprise resi-
Dental, business and Industrial sections
Like the center itself. the city and its
zones are separated by waterways, the
outerinost of which forms a wide
navigable canal connecting the sea with
the basins for commerce which lie on
the outer extremity of the town.
Scope of the Plans.
The plans of the international center
include nearly every public necessity and
them stadiums, libraries. buildings for
scientific research. administrative pal
aces, museums. Conservatives, institu-
tons of art, music. letters, etc. and
recreation buildings, including one for
physical culture for men and another
for women. gymnasiums with outdoor
and covered swimming pools. besides
fields for every form of outdoor sport,
the whole laid out with water. heating,
lighting and sanitary systems.
The volume gives comprehensive
description of this ideal capital for the
world, and includes such marvelously
wrought designs that one cannot fail to
be Immediately interested, while the
complete systematic scheme fits so Well
together that one is charmed by its
beauty and amazed at the wealth of
practical thought which it displays.
