Says Petrograd

PETROGRAD. March 16.-(via London
The following official dispatch has been
received from Ossowetz:
The enemy has brought some of their
batteries closer TO the fortress, because
of their obvious inetfectiveness at the
longer range. The artillery of the fort
ress effectively shelled a column OF the
enemy, consisting of motors drawing
artillery, provisions and ammunition.
Fighting at moderate distances con-
tinued throughout Sunday and Monday,
with the advantage constantly with the
defenders. Two German companies en-
deavored to approach the frozen river,
but retired after being shel!ad from a
distance of mile.
Close to ossowetz our scouts carried
some Of the enemy's positions and at
nightfaI sent prisoners back into the
fortress"

NEW YORK, March IA king s
ransom in jewels, blazoned in the
royal eagles Of Spain at the time OF
Charles V, the most powerful mon
arch of the sixteenth century, lies
under guard at the customs house
here awaiting appraisal. The value
OF the Jewels is estimated roughly
at between 100000 and 100000.
The gems, set in gold on white
and purple robes and mounted on
two golden crowns, we're brought
into New York by Catholic priest,
clad in shabby clothes. who fled
from Mexico City a month ago. made
his way to Vera Cruz and sailed
aboard the steamer Montevedio.
The Montevedio reached New York
March 6, with this priest and six
other fugitive priests who had been
banished from Mexico by General
Carranzas lieutenant at Mexico
City.

From the depths Of a. battered suitcase
the gems and robes were tumbled out
upon the dock for inspection by the Gus
toms authorities They so dszzled the in
specturs that they we're hastily put back
into the suitcases. Under guard. they
were taken to a safe deposit vault where
they were locked up and special watch
men detailed to guard them.
This rich prize, It is said. lay in the
cathedral of Mexico City--presumably
for oenturies-till It slipped through Car
ranza's fingers in the priests flight from
Mexico The name Of this priest was with

had said he hastily packed the jewels
and robes in his suitcase when General
Oregon called for a church tax of 10000

An archbishops robe of purple is the
chief article Of value. The robe Is Of
silk and apparently OF great antiquity.
Wrought in diamonds and emeralds,
rubies and pearls on the front OF the
robe so that II covers the wearer's breast,

raised and beaks open. The gems are
mounted in gold. The robe is very heavy.
From the double eagle design, the Gus
toms officials believe there is truth in
the priests story that the robes were sent
to Mexico In the sixteenth century. Spain
in that period was at the height Of it's
power and its ruler, Don Carlos was
known as Charles V of the Holy Roman
Empire.

monds, rubies, cmeralds and saphires
Some OF these gems, IL is said are as
large as nuts.
Several smaller clerical robes in purple
and white silk, some OF them spangled
with gems. complete the lot. The priest
who. carried them from Mexico to New
York declared them, it is said, to be
worth $60O.O0O.
Under the law providing for admission
of antiquities free Of duty, it was said

They would be the abettors of more
horrid and relentless wars
preparedness for pacifists is to
ascertain the principles to be advo-
Gated by all those eager for lasting
peace and to secure the agencies in
tended to vindicate and apply those
principles. Preparedness for pacifists
is to organize the Intervention of the
supporters Of lasting peace forth
with and to stand ready when, for
the struggling peoples, the hour
strikes of reason and justice.
The principles to be proclaimed
can be summarized as follows:
The mission of the States is not
only to promote the wellbeing Of
their own citizens but to further also
the common welfare of humanity
THE Sovereignty and independ-
ence of States are to be placed un-
der their collective safeguards.
Peoples have the inalienable and
inprescriptable right to dispose free
ly to themselves.
The exploitation Of the glore is
managed by the States in the c..llec-
tive interest of men.
The seas and all waterways are
without exception open to free navi-
cation by all the peoples
Oman To All Nation.
"The territories of all colonies
shall be open without diltcrertial
/ treatment, to the commerce of all
nations
Custom can have only fiscal and
transitory character and free trade
should be the rule of commercial in
tercourses.
The relations between the States
are controlled by the same principles
of right, equity and morals as those
which control relations between indi-
viduals. e..
The conventions freely concluded
between States are binding upon
them as long as they are in force.
Secret treaties are void: treaties
are valid only If negotiated with full
knowledge and public assent of the
direct representatives of the people.
"All conflicts between States
shall be settled in an amiable or con-
tentious manner.
Recourse to force Is limited to
self defense or judicial sanction and
coercion, with the consent and CO.
operation of all States and only after
exhaustion of all moral, political and
economic means of constraint.
Foreigners ought to enjoy in all
States the liberties and rights guar
anteed to nationals"

yATIONS MUST BE
DEMOCRATIC TO
SECURE PEACE.
J,panese Professor Speaks On III
ternational Peace-Famous Bel
gian Delivers Address,

San Francisco, Cal.-Every coun-
try in the world must be made demo-
cratic if permanent international
peace is to be secured, G. E. Uychara,
Professor of Political Science in Moi
. II University, Toxic, told the Inter
national Peace Congress here today
He said:
ut seems to me there is but one
way to secure International Peace.
Democracy is the real and the only
basis on which permanent interna-
tonal peace can be secured. In order
to establish international peace, the
political, social and economic insti-
tutions of every country must be
made thoroughly democratic.
"The first of all the democratiza-
tion of political institutions is the
most important prerequisite for in
ternational peace. 1t is the political
organization that either directly or
Indirectly affects, and to a great ex-
tene, controls the social and economic
activities of the people in any coun-
try
"Autocracy, aristocracy, oligarchy,
plutocracy and bureaucracy are the
root OF all strifes, warfares and ag-
sressions, and the enemy to Internal
ional peace. Militarism rests on them.
I'm every country, social caste,
special privileges, etc., must be put
away; political equality and equal
opportunity given to everybody: and
freedom of travelling, freedom of
residence, internationl free trade and
cooperative system of industry es-
ablished throughout the world be-
lore International peace can be per-
manently secured.

legislature and a majority down in
congress. But in spite of all these
available opportunities to work out
their ideas, their ideals and their
principles, unemployment has been
on the increase, poverty has been on
the increase, crime universally ram

though these takers had assured us
before election that they would rid
society of these ills.
In the municipal campaigns their
issues were generally gas, but we usU-

paigns as well. We listened to their
cry of liberty jeopardized, we hailed
them as saViOUrs and voted them into
power and today we scarcely know
what liberty is. We listened to their
tariff panacea and aWOke to find that
exploitation was as great in so-ca1ed
free-trade England as it had been in
high-tariff America.
We have since had a tariff revision,
but our ills continued to grow worse,
so we called in the capitalistic doc
tors and had our case diagnosed. Be
ing absent minded at the time, they
attributed our ills to the European
war, forgetting that we had similar
ills in times of peace.
Again and again these demagogues
have fiattered us with boasts of our
right to life and liberty in the pursuit
of happiness, but all we ever got was
the pursuit, while the drOnes got the
right to life and happiness. A good
pursuit they have given-us in looking
for a job; a good pursuit they have
given us in obtaining a living wage;
a good pursuit we shall always have

ANSWER TO Mr.. TOMPKINS.-
I would like to know if Mr.. TOmpkins
is Judging women by his mother and
sister, or by one or two individual
cases that some one has told him
about?
If Mr.. TOmpkins will read the re-
port of the crime commission that
was appointed during Mayor Buses

of the working women and girls did
not have to work if they did not want
to, so with Mr.. TOmpkins' kind per-

not have to work if they did not want
to.

sons to be patriotic. Our representa-
tiVes and our capitalists have given
us such a good exhibition of it.
1t is indeed an honor to live in a
country such as ours, with all the
modern means of producing process
es, with unlimited resources of
wealth, with capabilities of even sup
plying the needs Of millions of people
in foreign lands, and to know that in
this same country, in spite of all the
progress therein there continues to
reign an eVer-inCreasing amount Of
involuntary poverty among the actual
producers of wealth.
What think you of the intelligence
of a people who continue to vote
themselves into subjugatiOn, who
continue to vote for enthraIlment, for
exploitation and for tyranny by cast
ing their ballots for the Republican
and Democratic candidates. You
have given them every available OPP
pOrtunity to make good and they
failed. Won't you now study the
platform of the Socialist party, read
their philosophy and apply their prin-
Ciples theoretically to the problems
confronting society today. Then,
after having studied them thorough
ly, vote according to your own con-
VictiOns. A fair consideration is all we
ask. H. SoIIer, 652 Hamburg St.

The commission placed on its sec

IMMIGRATION CASE
COMES UP TODAY
State Board to Show Cause for
Not Organ1zlng- Separate Re
turn by Hall

The state supreme court will be oc.
cupied today with the hearing Of the
immigration case, which has been
awaited with much interest in a..
parts of the state.
On petition of Captain Up. Baker,
a writ of mandamus was issued by
Chief Justice G. ]. Fisk several weeks
ago. The writ was returnahle last
Tuesday but the hearing was post.
poned until today The action started
by Baker against the state immigra-
ton board was to compel them to Or
ganize according to provisions made
by the last legislature.
The board failed to organize because
two referendum petitions, seeking to
hold up the bill, were filed with the
secretary of state previous to July I.
Attorney General Lindc held that the
petitions were invalid, and were not
properly drawn up, also that neither
petition had enough names attached
to it to refer the immigration bill OF
the appropriation for the work.
The immigration board will make a
return to the court today and sep
arate return bill be made by the Sec
retary of state. He will be represent
ed by Attorneys Lempke and Hels-
from, both of whom have been active
opponents of the immigration bill
from the start.
Captain Baker will be represented
by Attorney Benton Baker of this city.
General sentiment throughout the
state is very much in favor of the i'm
migration bill, and people throughout
the state are anxious to see the board
formally organized and busily engaged
in advertising the state.
The case is attracting ctate wide at
tention. and the final outcome will be
awaited with interest in all quarters
of the state.
