The Palace ofPeace

The outstanding feature of the great war in Europe that mysh-
fes the civilized people of the world is-Why?
Iii beyond the ken OF peaceful, God-fearing persons to understand
the reason for the terrible destruction Of property, the paralysis of COM
merce, he wanton murder Of man.
For years each great nation OF the world has had its so-cared
Peace Society, and, grouped together, they have casped hands in an
International Peace Society. Out of this condition grew the Peace
Palace at The Hague. The Peace Palace!
Among the publications that have been started in the United States
since the European war began is one called Free Poland. 1t is pub
lshed in Chicago under the auspices of the Polish National Council OF
America. In the third issue OF the publication, which has just reached
the Tribune office, is al article entitled: Millions for the Palace OF
Peace; not a Penny for Peace" The author, Charles Wachtel, says:
The Palace of Peace at The Hague stands desoae. The press
points to it with regret or sneers. The magnificent structure, erected
and generously endowed by the powers now engaged in a death strug-
gle, stands forth as the most stupendous anachronsm of Il times.
They are at II anothers threats, they who most voubly spoke OF Uni
versal Peace, who buttressed their arguments with ever huger and ever
costier ornaments. Today their peaceful" efforts are giving forth
a bloody crop, and that too in the immediate vicinity of the splendid
edihce, which through its empty windows looks out upon a hail of muir
derous steel, streams of tears and blood, and seas of flame rising from
ancient cities. And who knows but that the Palace itself may yet be
stonmed? For is there anything that the desperate PrusNan fist will
spare? And if the Germans should invade Holland and be offered re-
sstance by the Dutch, surely all the refined crueties of this W. would
fall to the share OF the very soil upon which stands the Palace of Peace
States and governments promised one another to set forms and
standards for the settlement of international controversies. They be-
gan their work of peace by attempting to mitigate the crueties OF war
and announced that war may be declared only under certain prescribed
conditions. They formulated regulations for military activities ON
land and sea. All this was but Yesterday. Today, the most horrible
war in history is raging through the continent of Europe. The whole
diplomatic house of cards SO ingeniousy constructed, has collapsed
Negotiations n cast to the winds: guarantees ignored; treaties violated
promises and alliances forgotten. With scant ceremony the opponents
grappled with one another and in the fury of the struggle they do not
even shrink from the practices of cutthroats.
Mankind is beginning to see again the futlity OF the artificial ma
chinery of diplomacy and its unnatural and hypocntical combinations.
The evidence is conclusive that there cannot be any serious considera-

ton of peace, while burdensome ornaments are crushing the people and
seltaggrandizement is the chief motive actuating international relations.
While one state seeks to prey upon another, while territorial greed has
free play and the strong may with impunity Cypress the weak under the
motto that might makes right so long will agitation for Universal
Peace be like the call of the prophet in the wilderness. Peace can be
firmly based upon the granting of equal rights to all the peoples, but not
upon political systems and the predatory Vaccinations of powers. Only
when the strong and the weak, the large and the small will be able to
live side by side in peace and security, when all the strong nations will
give the weaker pledges of unmolested existence, and when each violator
of these pledges will be punished by all as a thief of the most valuable
commons ood-the universal social order-only then and under such con-
ditions will come on this earth the Kingdom of God, the Era of Perpetual
Peace.

Sh7me On Such Tactics!

The actions of a few persons (women) at the Hippodrome last
night are not to be taken as an index of the sentiment of the great ma
joriy. Americans S a rule believe in fair play and they are pleased to
listen to argument. They arr opposed to "roughhouse' tactics. Miss
Bronson was greeted by the largest audience ever assembled in the Hip
podrome, and in her address opposing equal suffrage she was able and
disnihed. Practically every farminded person of either sex will agree
that she va entitled to courteous treatment from a intelligent and
representative American audience. Miss Bronson is associated with
some of the most prominent and highly cultured women of the United
Staes-women who have devoted their lives to the betterment of man
kind.
In coming to Godheld Miss Bronson was accompanied by Mrs.
Jewett W.. Adams, wife of a former governor of the state, and a woman
of the highest culture and atainments. Miss Bronsons purpose in
in Goldheld was to convince her hearers by dignihed argument,
not to engage in combating a organized effort on the part OF a few
women opposed to her views to embarrass and annoy her while she was
on the platform. Miss Bronson was equal to the occasion and was
given the most respectful attention by practically her entire audience.
The Tribune apologies to Miss Bronson and Mrs. Adams for the
lack OF courtesy accorded them by a very few persons who early pre-
|empted some of the best seats in the house for the sole purpose of an
moving the camps distinguished guests.
Representative Fitzgerald, Chairman of the appropriations COM

OF expenditures of public moneys. When think OF the terrible mess
shall be called upon to present to the country on behalf of the Demo

public expenditures has made the Democratic pa y the laughing stock

the perspiring Newlands who Mr.. Plat is.
An answer to the question who is Nh. Platt' will be given at the

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID ST0MACHS and
FOOD FERMENTATION
by a Stomach Specialist.

AS a specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment OF
stomach troubles, I have been forced to
the conclusion that most people who
complain of stomach trouble possess
stomachs that are absolutely healthy
and normal The real trouble, that
which causes all the pain and difficulty,
Is excessive acid In the stomach. agra
waited by food fermentation. Hyper
acidity trr1tates the delicate lining OF the
stomach and food fermentation causes
wind which distends the stomach alb
normally, causing that full bloated feel
ing. Thus both acid and fermentation
interfere with and retard the process OF
digestion The stomach Is usually
healthy and normal but irritated almost
past endurance by these foreign ele-
mcnts-aCid and wind. In all such cases
and they comprise over 80 per cent
of all stomach difficulties-the first and
only step necessary is to neutraIize the
acid and stop the fermentation by taking
in A little warm or cold water immedf-
ately after eating. from one to two tea
spoonfuls OF blsurated magnesia, which
is doubtless the best and only really
effective antaCid and food corrective
known. The acid will be neutralized. and
the fermentation stopped almost in

proceed to digest the food in a healthy.

DO NOT EXPECT TO TRAVEL.

The Braves do not expect to return

for further travelling. This meets
with the hearty approval Of Old Ber-
ton Braley, who experienced all the
horrors of war in getting from Phila-
delphia to Boston. Braley lost his
shoes. The New Haven road might
have needed the shoes, but so did
Braley and he wouldn't leave the tram
