BABSON URGES
WORLD CONGRESS
Would Substitute Vote as to
Statistical Position for
Hague Tribunal.

Roger W. Babson, statistlclan, vno
was at the peace conference at Iu-
cerne, Switzerland, as a representative
Of this country, said last night, IN
speech at the Technology Club. that
there were two wars in progress, and
not one, as was generally assumed,
Germany and Austria" he said, ARE
fighting Russia and Servia for the con
troll OF the Balkans. and ] should not
be surprised at any time TO see them
come together on some sort OF basis
end divide up these disputed states
between them, each side obtaining a
Mediterranean seaport. 1t was TO AVOID
such a settlement that Sir Edward
Grey forced through his agreement
with Russia and France that no one
Of the three would make peace terms
without the approval of the other two.
an addition, there is another war IN
progress between Germany and Eng
land over the control OF the seas"
Speaking of international arbitration
after the war. he said:
Every military man, as well as the
sane pacifsts, agrees that the only
solution Of the difficulty is in the for
nation of an international relations
commission upon which the nations
shall have vote IN hcCoTuhHce WIN
.heir statistical position, this vote
varying every ten years SIS the CEN
suses OF the respective nations are ia
ken.
"Let the court at The Hague con
tinue as judicial body, but let mel
Their England, Germany nor any other
country rule the seas. Place the reeu-
lation of immigration, customs and for
eign trade under the control of some
international commission. and let every
nation represented thereon pledge It's
navy and army to enforce the DEGREES
OF this commission. Gradually, as the
work Of this commission became estab-
lished. there would be less and less
reed for armies and navies and they
would be reduced"
The Hague Court he referred TO as
a mechanical compromise, where each
nation has the same representation
and weight, irrespective Of its needs,
merits and strength. In conclusion, he
said that IL world federation were
not formed, this country would have
70 fight the victor in the present war
Al the end of twenty years.

terS comes the news that the Germans
in Belgium are perturbed by the latest
tidings from their front in France.

Head Bandmaster of the
German Army Caught by
Allies Near Ypres.
GORGEOUS UNIFORM
Bellies HIS SPIRITS
His Music, Now Contraband,
Much Better than Effort to Es-
cape, Which Fails Utterly.
rBy Cabs 10 tn, Tribunal


Pas de Calais, France, Oct. 20.-One
OF the most curious captures OF the
war WAS made last week in the neigh
borhood Of Ypres-the bandmsster-in-
chief Of the German army. A good
deal Of doubt at first surrounded the
identity Of the much decorated pris-
oner, some Judging from his gorgeous
uniform, being persuaded that he was
the high chief commission sire. But
there is no doubt that the hearted
captive is the Kaiser's military band
master-in-chief, for he carried gold
mounted baton and his store of music
also fell into the hands OF his captors.
1t was on the outskirts Of Ypres that
number OF soldiers came upon
this imposing functionary, seated, dis
consolately and deserted, on q tree
stump by the wayside endeavorng to
tie up with a handkerchief a slight
wound in his right hand. He was duly
surrounded and informed that he was
prisoner. This increased his I'M
doubted detection, and he told his cap
tors he had lost his band. He did not
even cheer up when informed that it
was most probable that if there were
band anywhere in the neighborhood
it would probably join him in cap
tivity.
"0nly." said one Of the men, I'VE
told him that a German band would
not be allowed to play in captivity
because we have other prisoners, you
know. We think he might have per-
mission TO wear the uniform, for it
would always be bright spot on the
somewhat drsb scenery Of the pris-
oners camp. He will not, of course,
be allowed to keep the score of The
Triumphant March Into Paris the first
performance of which was fixed for
August 10, but regrettably postponed
owing to circumstances over which he,
at least, had no control"
The sndmaster-in-c chief was marched
off, but before night fell he made an
effort to escape. Though he may know
a great deal about music he proved a
child in the matter of endeavoring to
elude his captors, so the bandmaster-
in-chief of the German army remains
gloomy prisoner.

BRINDILLA SALE
HELD TO Be LEGAL
Washington Tells British
Ambassador Transfer
Was Bona Eide.


Washington, Oct. 20.-Represents-
tions have been made by the Depart
mcnt Of State TO the British govern
ment through Ambassador Spring Rice
to the effect that the transfer OF the
oil tank ship Brindilla. formerly the
Washington, from her German owners,
the Riedermann Line, to the Standard
oil Company. was bona tde and that
this government regards her as a neu-
trail vessel.
This opinion was given TO the British
Ambassador by Acting Secretary Lans-
ing to-day, when the former called at
the State Department TO ask for in
formation about the seizure OF the
Brndilla by British cruiser after she
had left the port of New York flying
the American flag. The ambassador
had no official advices on the subject,
it was understood.
Administration officials are awaiting
the outcome of possible prize court
proceedings at Halifax, the American
Consul there having been instructed
to make a full investigation OF the CIR
cumstances and report promptly. Inc
consul has made only perfunctory
report about the seizure of the yes
sci.
a protest by the Standard Oil Com
pany has been received at the State
Department. It is contended that the
vessel was registered under the Ameri-
can flag and that the transfer of own
ership was legitimate and in accordance
with international law.
The administration, after receiving
a report from the Treasury Depart
mcnt regarding the clearance OF the
vessel from New York and other offi-
cial information, agrees with the rep
reservations made by the Standard Oil
Company, but decisive action Will not
be taken until there are Developments
of a definite nature at Halifax. The
Rrindilla carried a cargo Of illuminat-
