With the prophetic words of a parlia =
ment OF man from Tennyson's "Lockes-

enthusiastic men and one woman met in
the halls of the Chamber of Commerce
last night to formulate plans for the
federation of the world, the elimination
of war. and the abolition Of tariff. nav
igation and immigration laws.
They termed themselves the Friends
of Humanity. and they explained their
object was to establish a world postal
union as the first step toward the re-
alization of the fair dream of the piet
Tennyson. James l.. Cowles, president
of the World Postal League, presided,
and read a lengthy manuscript advo-
eating the elimination of all barriers
now in the way of cheap public trans
portation and transmission.
He said he wanted fat transportation
rate all around the world. SO a person
could travel to Shanghai as cheapIy as
he could go to Alexandria. He said the
fiat scent rate maintained by the local
railway companies regardless Of the dis
lance Travelled by passengers was a
cleaning example of the practicability of
his suggestion. He explained that the
World Postal Union would develop into
international cooperation along the line
of all kinds of transportation. ultimate

alton Of the districts which the system
might serve.
But is this the mere Ethiopian dream
Of a poet, or is it" queried one of the
listeners.
'Oh. absolutely: absolutely" broke
in Cowles. this Is a practicable scheme
and friend. although my hair has turn
ed gray. I'm going to live to see this
dream realized"
Mr.. Cowles said that the fish and
game served in Biblical days by Esther

and Ahashuerus were delivered to her
by parcel post. The audience looked
skeptical and several smiled. 'Oh. alb

REPORT AGITATES NAVY MEN,
Words Attributed to Capt. Huse
Denied by Daniels,

The publication in The Herald of the
secret report to Washington of Capt
Harry Mel. P. Huse. chief of staff of
Admiral Fletcher, commander of the
Atlantic fleet. caused a stir among
navy officials yesterday.
By an error in telephone transmits
sion the name Of the author OF the doc
ument- was given as Capt. Hughes. -
the two names being pronounced al
most exactly alike. Secretary of the
Navy Daniels said unequivocally yes
terday that the story was wrong, that
there was no report from Capt
Hughes and that there was no report
from Capt. Huse."
Most Of the navy officials who dis
cussed the report yesterday regarded
its origin as of great Importance. Capt.
Huse does not state in his report the
source of information on which he
bases his conclusions. He has, how
ever. discussed at considerable length
the view that the United States must
reckon at the end of the European war
with Great Britain or Germany for
commercial ana national supremacy.
Navy officials yesterday said that in
view of the status Of the American
army and its unpreparedness for war.
war between the United States and a
big foreign power would depend upon
the navy, and Capt. Huse's report is
regarded everywhere as the strongest
plea yet made for the upbuilding Of
the navy and at the earliest possible
>0oment.

Against Arrests of
Priests.

The failure OF CarranZa to reply to
Secretary Bryan's inquiries and protests
relating to the arrest by Carranza's mill
tary chiefs of about 70 priests In the
Federal district caused the State De-
partment yesterday to send an additional
inquiry on the subject to the Brazilian
minister at Mexico City, who represents
the United States there.
The inquiry to the Brazilian minister.
it is expected. will be met with objection,
as CarranZa has announced that he does
not wish foreign confidential and diplo-
matte agents to deal with any other
authority than himself: 1t is alleged that
the arrests were made by Gen. Obregon
at the national capital in order to exact
a tribute of 100000 pesos from the priests.
Carranza is at Vera Cruz.

will come from Consul John r. Silliman,

for this government with Carranza in
obedience to the latter's ultimatum of a
few days ago.

The Carranza agency here gave out a
statement yesterday based on tele-
