Mr. Marshall discussed freely the
Mexican situation. He said from what
he learned In the Southwest he per-
sonally was opposed to intervention
by the United States. He said he
wished to emphasize that this was just
his opinion as an individual.
MRS. Marshall whose attitude on the
suffrage question has caused consid-

clared to-day that she was not a suf-
fragist.
II am not suffragist," she said. 1T

CANAL ACT
SHOULD BE REPEALED

decides the case. With the example
OF Charles Francis Adams in the &C.
neva Arbitration. and OF Lord Alver-
stone in the Alaskan Boundary Dis
pute before US, not to mention the
highly honorable record OF the British
Admiralty Courts and of the Supreme
Court of the United States in prize
cases, can 1t be fairly maintained that
We could not set an impartial hear
ing before the Hague Court because
of the interests of other nations in the
issue at stake? Is II to be supposed
that international jurists OF the stamp
OF the late Professor dc Martens of
Asser; Savornin Lehman. Gram, Lam
masch and Renault. some of whom
have sat on as many as four Hague
tribunals, would place tho shipping in
terests of their countries above their
sense OF justice and their good repute
as 1urists?"
There can be no doubt about the
binding force of the treaty, DR.. Latane
holds. and he contends that the United
states is legally and morally obliged
faithfully to observe its stipula tons
He asks. What are we to do? Are we
willing to declare that we will fight
for our contention against the nation
who submitted the Alabama claims to
arbitration and honOrably paid the
award?' And he asserts that quite
apart from ethical considerations, the
United States is legally bound to arbi-
trate IL England demands arbitration.
In suggesting that the United States
either repeal or modify the Panama
Canal act. which contains the provision
as to tolls that is causing the trouble,
Dr. L.atanc states that as matter OF
fact, in passing this act. the United
States actually had no intention of
either violating the treaty or abro-
eating it.
Dr. Latanes article is valuable and
interesting from many points .t view.
20 the least Of which is t7c carefully
drawn historic setting OF the whole
controversy and clear statement OF
the points at issue.

DR.. Latane Says It Was Passed
Without Due Understanding
of Questions Involved.
Especial to The Times-Dispatch. |

lcpeCSdi 10 L ne lin e. n,
Washington. February 21-A most
illuminating contribution to the dig
| cussion OF the Panama Canal act and
the British protest is made by Dr.
John II. Latane. professor of history
and international law at Washington
and Lee University. in an article in the
current Issue OF the American Journal
OF International Law.
Professor Latane frankly suggests
that tho Panama Canal act of August
-, 1912. cxempting from the payment
of tolls American ships engaged in the
coastwise trade, should be repealed or
modified. He says: The Panama Canal
act was passed without due under
standing OF the questions involved
Many of our most experienced public
men regard it as a mistake. Why not
, repeal or modify it? We would in this
way avoid the risk of an adverse de-
cision from The Hague Court ana the
heavy expense incident TO the suit
1t Is of vast Importance that the world
should be convinced that We intend
10 act in good faith in this matter II
the canal Is TO fill the place that we
the worlds commerce. then we must
administer II with due regard for the
interests of the world at large"
AS TO the question of arbitration,
Professor Latane does not agree with
those who contend that it would be i'm
possible to get an impartial tribunal.
In reply TO this objection. he says:
There Is great Misrepresentation as
TO the organization and character OF
Tho Hague Court. Nations do not sit
on that tribunal judges. but 1t Is
composed OF over 100 tursts OF inter
national repute. When particular
case is submitted, each OF the parties
10 the suit selects one or two arbitra-
tors from the general list or panel of
| the court, and the two or four thus
selected, as the case may be. choose

The village dogs of Arabia are a real

strangers | mean any one except their
own immediate owners. whether IA
tiyes or not, writes Lady Ramsay in
the Sunday School Times. They are.
as a rule. great. powerful brutes. often
very handsome. extremely fierce and
capable of defending the focks from
wolves and other marauders. | have
often been told that when attacked by
these ferocious animals the proper
thing to do is to sit down quickly on
the ground, when they will at once de-
sist.
But for my part l never had the
courage to try this plan and had never
seer It done during all my years OF
travel till last year. We had stopped
to rest and eat our lunch in a village
oda, and | was looking out from an
open balcony and saw an elderly Turk
coming along between some houses OPP

Suddenly two huge dogs. barking flu
riously, dashed at him. from an open
gateway. Instantly he dropped to the
ground in a sitting position. For a
moment | thought he had fallen and
expected to see the dogs on top of
him. To my establishment they turned
