WORLD PEACE MOVEMENT
BOUND TO BE SUCCESSFUL
According to John Hays Hammond,
Chairman World Court Congress-.

Cleveland, O., May 1.-THE world
court congress held it's concluding ses-
sion here tonight with it's delegates ex-
pressing the opinion that the latest
movement toward world peace, as ex-
pressed in the congress idea of an in
ternational court of justice, has been
launched toward a conclusion that is
bound to be successful.
There are many who are inclined to
believe the movement visionary said
John Hays Hammond, chairman
These do not comprehend the in
formation at the disposal of the men
fostering the idea of world court
which will have punch because it
will make arbitration obligatory and
not optional.
Assurances have come from all
sides, including representative men
from the nations now at war, that sup
port of the plan for a world court is
sure to ensue, once the carnage in Eu-
rope has ended. These assurances are
authoritative.
While the congress has been in ses-
sion We have received pied ges of in
tended support to our plan from indi-
viduals and organizations all over the
country 1t is certain that public opin-
ion in the United States will crystaIlize
speedily into a determination that will
make this country leading signatory
to league of nations"

shipxards of The Clyde.

That the shipyards on the Clyde
are turning out several fighting ships
of entirely new types which are ex-
pected to prove decisive factors both
in the North Sea and in the Darda-
nel1es, was revealed in an address
made to a meeting of business men
here by Captain j. ]. Barttelot of Ad-
miralty office. In urging the necessity
of recruiting several thousand skilled
workmen for the ship building works,
he said:
Our main concern up here and on
the Clyde is the Fleet. These yards
are building ships of new types, and
great issues depend on their arriving
at their stations"
"To get these ships ready there are
wanted many more men, especially
iron workers. In order to beat the en-
emy we shall have to pool the whole of
our resources of skilled labor and put
them on government work. This will
mean very considerable diSplace-
ment of labor but 1 feel confident, by
the readiness with which the repre-
sentatiYes of the employers and men
have come together, that the efforts
will be successful.
MANY firms have already most will
ingly met my request to divert men
from their works to other firms en-
gagged on government work, and the
and other trades have also given me
assistance. But the transference must
be done on g. larger and larger SCALE
Transfer of men naturally involved
financial loss through inability of firms
to carry on contracts, but the govern
ment will arrange suitable compenSa-
ton in these cases.

that Governor Maytorena, the Villa
commander in Sonora, already had
despatched a considerable body of

that their arrival will have relieved the

bluejackets and marines at any port

til Admiral Howard had reported the
necessity of such action.
At present the warships are sent to
Guaymas in the expectation that any
Americans in the interior who may be
in danger will find their way to the

TechniaI War Names.

It is characteristic of the age in
general and of twentieth century war
fare in particular that so many of the
most stirring incidents of the war will
have to be remembered by numerous
implying reference to something of the
schedule kind. Hill so, Height 992,
Els, U-29-that's the sort of thing
which is mixed up now with names of
the old romance such as H. M S. Tri-
umph, Notre Dame de Lorette or the
Fisherman's House. In the old war
fare it occasionally happened. Ninety
six was a notable battle theatre in the
War of American independence, and
one of our most memorable naval tri-
umphs is known only as the First of
June. But what was very exceptional
then is becoming almost the rule now
1t is the new romance, which Mr.. Kip

loss in that state has been larger
than in any other, thirty-six thou
sand seven hundred fifty-eight ami
mails, altogether, having been
slaughtered. Pennsylvania comes
next with 1896 animals, and Ohio
third with 10TH. None of the six
teen other states in which there was
an outbreak has lost as many as
5000.
In those states in which the local
guarantees have been rigidly en-
forced, and in which the farmers
themselves have aided the authori-
ties to stamp out the disease, salts
factory progress has been made at
smaller expense than was at one
time feared. Indiana and Michigan,
where the disease originated, were,
for example, at first hard hit. Much
of that territory is, however, now en-
tirely freed from quarantine, and in
only a small area is the movement
of live stock absolutely prohibited.
In Indiana 6,127 animals were
slaughtered and in Michigan 7,728.
While Illinois and Pennsylvania
are probably, today, the most Sc
riously affected of all the states,
there is, it is said, every reason to
believe that energetic measures will
stamp out the pestilence, there as
well as elsewhere. Although large
quantities of stock have been affect
ed already, the number up to the
present, is small in comparison with
the total quantity in those states. In
Illinois there were approximately
100000 head of cattle at the begin
ming of the outbreak. Of those
1868 have been slaughtered. Out
of approximately 100000 hogs,
only 21,5S7 had been killed up to
January /. OF the 10000 farms in
that state about 500 have been in
volved.
