PEACE IS

Mohonk Lake. N. Y, May 27-The
mediation Of Argentina, Brazil and
Chile. in the Mexican situation and
the apparent progress made by the
conference at Niagara Falls was point
ed out by the speakers at the Lake
Mohonk conference and international
arbitration as the most encouraging
sign of the present time in the cause
of peace.
John Bassett Moore, of Columbia
university recently counsellor of the
state department, who presided at the
conference. said in an opening address
that mediation of the A. e. G. powers,
no matter what may be the result was
remarkable event in the history OF
international relations in the western
hemisphere.
at has been hailed" declared Moore,
"as the beginning of a new Pan-Am-
erican diplomacy and 1t, at any rate,
can be regarded as the most striking
development yet witnessed of the Pan
American movement which has form
ally inaugurated by the first interna-
tionaI American conference at Wash
ington In 1889, and 1880"
Moore admitted that the actual re-
suits from arbitration during the past
two years were not remarkable and
that the period had been marked by
armed conflicts of exceptional destruc-
tiveness. Speaking Of the last war in
Balkans, he said there was much to
indicate that the end Of hostilities In
that quarter OF the globe was not yet

steadily growing in favor.
Headquarters at Bismarck.
The raln is that state headquarters
will be maintained by State Organizer
Knappen at Bismarck, and all his field
deputies will operate from there.
The first big movement made by the
Bismarck local is the proposed estab-
lishment of a mammoth cooperative
warehouse to be located at Bismarck,
and for that purpose a Farmers union
warehouse, milling and mercantile
company has been formed here. capi-,
talized at $4,000, the greater portion
of which has been subscribed. and fs
now available for building operations.
Local unions at nearby points are CO.
operating with this building project at
bismarck. and it is proposed that Bis
marck shall be the headquarters for
the handling of farm produce and
grain for this section of the state, as
we'll as furnishing machinery and
other farm supplies.
Movement a Strong One.
Since there has been such a sweep
ing movement in North Dakota along
the line of cooperation among the
farmers, it Is believed the interests at
terminal market points have become
a agitated over the possible outcome to
ing made to have it appear that 1t Is
the Society of Equity that is inaugur-
ating this plan What leads to this
belief is the fact that Alexander NC

done by the Mexico City government
