Taft Advocates
a Worlds Court
Ex.PREsIDENr BELIEVES THAT
AN INTERNATIONAL COURT
Is POSSIBILITY.

{ CLEVELAND, O., May 1S.-With
the opening here yesterday afternoon
OF the World Court Congress, move
ment was formally launched which
its advocates claim Is the greatest ad-
vance yet taken toward lasting peace
among the world powers.
Prominent men from all over the
country, including eX.President Will
liam H. Taft, Alton B. Parker, Henry
Clews and many others, were present,
giving assurance, Mayor Newton D.
Baker said in his welcoming address,
that the movement SIS not visionary,
not impractical"
The congress plans an international
court of Justice founded on an agree
ment TO which all great powers would
be signatory.. All, signatory nations
would submit their disputes to the
court. One not so doing would be sub:
tected to the combined pressure of
the others.
"This body is not so foolish as to
conceive that war will be made i'm.
possible by such court said John
Hays Hammond, chairman, IN an al
dress opening the deliberations.
1What we hope to do is to minimize
the possibilities of war"
Former President Taft said:, "A
movement like this loses force by
making claims of what It will accom-
plish. But we are trying to be prac'
tical. we are not rainbow chasers
and we are not offering a millennium.
Mr.. Taft had not been scheduled TO
speak at the afternoon session, but
yielded to demands from the audience
that he do so.

LONDON, May 13.-London was
gcheereds today by the publication of a
dispatch from Athens recording de-
cided advance of the British and
French troops over the Turks along
the SGallipoli peninsula. Some reports
even claimed the occupation of GER
tain heights which would mean the
entire peninsula was under control Of
thefinyaders.
At two points on the western line
Of operations, offensive movements
areSunder way. The first, Initiated by
the Germans, is against the allied
forces near Ypres, while the second
is the pushing of French troops
against the Germans to the north of
Arras. For the moment, however.
both of these attacks would appear
to have been checked.
On the Bukowina frontier, Petrograd
reports a brilliant success won by the
Russian Cossack cavalry, over the
Austrian infantry. The Russian
horsemen forcing their way through a
series OF barbed wire entanglements,
dislodged the Austrians from three
lines of trenches and captured 1000
prisoners, battery OF quick, firing
guns, several searchlights and a
whole string of caissons.
Russia admits that the Austro Ger
man offensive is still proceeding in
western Galicia, while Vienna claims
the Russian retreat is fast becoming
rout, with the invaders suffering
great losses.
The anti-German rIoting is. dying
down In England, but it is reported as
continuing with great violence in
South Africa. The London Daily
News, which is government organ.
asserts the cabinet is prepared to or
der internment of all male alien en-
iemys in Great Britain, but that wom-
eniand children and naturalized aliens
wflISn not be interned. Some positive
action on the part of the United States
as$well as on the part of Italy is
awaited with keenest impatience.

CAN SEND CONTRIBUTIONS
 THROUGH GEN. AIKEN
For Connecticut Relief Ship-Norwich
 People Have Given $606.25.

The Norwich donation for the Con- necticut ship for the relief of the Belgians has been forwarded through Gen. William A. Aiken and Mayor T. c. Murphy has received from Anson R. McCook of Hartford, secretary of the Connecticut committee of the commission for Relief ship for Bel gium, an acknowledgement of what has been sent. The writer of the let ter expresses the hope that the S6O6 25 that Norwich contributed might grow into thousand before the ship sails for Belgium on Dec. 20.
 Contributions should be sent to Gen. Aiken that Norwich and Connecticut should both have honorable and worthy representation in the aid that the ship will carry to the Belgians It was suggested that campaigns might be instituted in cities for the raising of more funds to be given for the relief ship but Mayor Murphy de- cided that the time for that was not l opportune here. Secretary McCook said in his letter that he appreciated that there were many calls for help | for different objects which is one of the great difficulties confronted 1 everywhere. The commission simply | to give and then give again unless Belgium which has borne the brunt | of the war, is to suffer. We are ab- | solutely assured that the Germans l nave not taken one ounce Of our food | and we are not helping them directly or indirectly. It it were otherwise the British fleet would long ago have in- | terposed an objection. We are as | nearly neutral as anything can be ? | said Secretary McCook. Any sized con- 1 tribution may be sent to Genera
 Aiken, Washington street. Norwich
 and he will forward 1t to the commits | sion where due acknowledgement will
 be made.
 At this Christmas season the peo. pie of the state are sure to respond generously to the appeal made on be.
