BRYAN DENOUNCED WAR SCARE
SECRETARY BRYAN SPEAKS AT
MEETING OF PEACE SOCIETY,".
Castqates "Subsidized Patriotism
Which Seeks to Create Strife for
Profit"--World Peace, Etc.

Washington. - Vigorous denuncia-
ton of subsidized patriotism which
seeks to create war because of the
profits in armor plate and battleships"
and of the sensational and mer-
cenary newspapers which prefer big,
scare head lines to the truth" mark
ed an address by Secretary Bryan
Sunday at Hague anniversary meet
ing, held under the auspices of the
Washington Peace Society. 1t was in
celebration of the fourteenth ami
versary of the first meeting at The
Hague.
"War is in the interest of a few
people, not all" Mr. Bryan declared.
THE profits are garnered by few,
while the masses pay the taxes. A
few gain glory while the mothers of
the nations furnish the sons who
make food for battlefields. War rests
upon feeling, not upon necessity.
Back of much of the furore for war is
a selfish interest in the manufacture
of battleships. And there are men so
unpatriotic that they try to stir up
trouble in another country against
their own, so as to make personal
profit therefrom. Is there any baser
use for money!"
The secretary asserted that the
world was drawing away from the
time when wars will be made to graf
ify selfish interests and ambitions.
Increasing intelligence" he added,
"is one of the forces working for
peace, because the people are learn
ing to understand the causes that lead
to war"
"The people are learning to dis
criminate also," he continued, "be-
tween patriotic newspapers and those
who seek for big headlines.
Secretary Bryan expressed the be-
lief that in time this country would
have treaties with all other nations
providing for efforts to arbitrate all
questions of dispute, and that other
nations would follow this country's ex-
ample. These agreements, he said,
would make it almost impossible to
bring this country into war with any
other contracting nation"
Increasing intelligence, the growing
disposition to bring governments
nearer the people, and The moral
growth of the world were the three
great factors, he declared, in making
for peace The danger that suddenly
inflamed public feeling will throw a
nation into war is growing less, he
said, because the people are beginning
to see that war does not benefit them;
that they pay the taxes and shed the
blood, and that it is usually melted
by those who look for personal profit
Preparation for war encourages war,
he added. Those nations that spend
most of their time getting ready for
war stand the best chance of going to
war. He said it was possible to
change the ideal of the world, just as
can be done with an individual, and
that the ideal of peace would prevail
throughout the entire world after
time.

ATLANTA HAS DIVORCE MILL
THE EQUAL OF RENO'S
Two Hundred Suits Filed in
One Day

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 17.-Atlanta has
not reached her limit yet whel 4
comes to rivaling Reno as a divorce
center. A new record was set Satur-
day when 200 divorce suits were filed
in the superior court in one day. This
"as he last day on which suits coa 1
tie filed in time to be heard at lie
next session of the court Hence the
congestion.
Only about a third of the cases are
affairs in which the wedding took
place in Atlanta 1t seems that the
"undefended divorce suit" procedure,
which prevails here as in all other
parts of Georgia, is proving attractive
to people from other states who want
an easy separation without too many
questions asked.

New York Cotton.

New York, Feb. 17.-Cotton opened
easy at decline of 8 to IA points on
weak Liverpool cables and renewal
of the aggressive selling movement
which developed last week. Private
cables reporting that the South was
offering spots at easier prices, the
long range forecast for fair and
warmer weather in the belt, and I'M
settled political conditions in Europe
and Mexico evidently added to the
bearish average of local sentiment.
Realizing by recent sales and a
moderate spot demand, accounted for
rally of to points, but offerings
continued heavy and the market dur
ing the middle of the morning, was
unsettled, with prices still ruling
about to Is points net lower.
Toward the middle of the morning
satisfied shorts were heavy buyers of
covers, in order to realize profits, and
their purchases checked the decline
and caused reaction until the most
active months were only 5 or points
under Saturdays final figures. For a
while the market was dull but late in
the morning bears renewed their
pressure and the market broke quick
ly At noon the trading months were
IL to 20 months under Saturdays
close.
The market was rather less active
late in the forenoon and at noon
prices showed rallies and at nool
prices showed rallies to five to six
points from the lowest on GOVERNS

ed to trade interests.

FEMALE OF SPECIES
Is SMARTER THAN MALE

Chicago, Feb 17.After series Of
experiments, Prof. e. II. Harper, of
the department of biology of North
western university announced today
that in intellectually, the female is
her males superior
Prof Harper used dogs in his in
vestigations, but he says:
THE theory that the same revela-
lions may be applied to men and wom-
en- will find ready support in some
quarters
In his experiments the scientist
used a mixed breed of Scotch collie
and English bull dog, the former be-
ing chosen on account of its intelli
gence and the latter for it's tenacity
Il found that in all the trials the
female displayed a remarkable quick
ness in grasping ideas which the male
after numerous sluggish efforts final
ly accomplished" said Prof Harper.
