SEES NO HOPE OF ENDING WAR.
DR.. de LapradcIle Says Law Can
Only Mitigate Its Horrors.

Perpetual poaco based on law will
never be anything but beautiful
dream was the opinion expressed yoster-
day by Dr. A q. de Lapradelle. French
exchange professor at Columbia Univer-
sity, In lecture before the Columbia In
sttute Of Arts and Sciences Prof do
Lapradele Is distinguished Partisan
lawyer and on the stan of the University
OF Paris. Hts lecture was the first Of
series IN French on Law and the
War" He said:
Conventions signed by a State cannot
be considered scraps OF paper without
becoming pitfalls OF good faith open
disregard for war IL danger TO all
nations. International society cannot ex-
list in a state of anarchy, War is ad
mtssible only on two conditions Cd
when It is In the service OF law, and (2)
when It follows rules mapped out for 1t by
law.
There Is no doubt that perpetual peace
based on law Is not and never will be
anything but beautiful dream, but II
humanity cannot at present divest itself
OF the war tunic II can at least endeavor
to give to war the rules of loyalty, honor
and humanity, which are the Characters
ties OF n truly superior civilization"

and that a great many commercial and
financial bills were falling due In Paris
at this time.
II was pointed out that the $4,000, 600

in franc exchange. n II prevented the
