Attorney General Minman's Opinion Regarding Automobile Registration Fees.

Attorney General George B. Hinrnan advised State Secretary Charles D. Burnes, regarding fees for the regis tration of motor vehicles Thursday as follows:
 You ask my opinion as to the fee that should be exacted for registra- ton of a motor vehicle which is or is designed to be used for both pleasure and commercial purposes, with special reference to those cases in which owing to the advance in commercial registration fees embodied in the 1915 amendments to the motor vehicle law the fee for registration as a commer- cial vehicle would be larger than the fee for registration as a pleasure ve- hicle.
 By Section 1 of Chapter e31 of the Public Acts of 1915. it is provided that The term commercial motor vehicle shall inclue all vehicles designed or used solely for the transportation of merchandise or freight which are either propelled or drawn by any DOW CT other than muscular, except such as are run on rails or tracks, and all moto vehicles designed and used as omnibuses for the transportation o1 passengers on the payment of tndi- vidual fares
 Section 8 of said chapter provides l that the secretary shall determine the actual carrying capacity of each com | mercia1 motor vehicle regardless oi the horsepower thereof. and shall col lect fees for registration based or such capacity and for all other motor vehicles the secretary shall collect feel as follows fixes the fee for registra- ton of a motorcycle and for registra- | ton of all motor vehicles owned by dealers in motor vehicles or in motol cycles, and for the registration oi every other motor vehicle. 50 centi per horsepower.
 I Therefore, every motor vehicle fall. l ing within the above quoted definition of commercial motor vehicle, which it will be noted. includes all vehicles ldesigned or used solely for the trans portation of merchandise or freight or a motor vehicle designed and uset as an omnibus for the transportation of passengers on the payment of indi vidual fares, is subject to the regis tration fee provided for commercial motor vehicle, and every other motol vehicle (other than a motorcycle) ir respective of whether it is used fo both the purpose of pleasure and tn transportation of merchandise o
 freight, or for pleasure only. is sub feet to the fee of 5 cents per horse

Bowers. chief counsel for Theodore
Roosevelt, today summed up in the
supreme court here the case Of the de-
tense in William Barnes suit for libel.
He assailed the truth Of many of the
statements made on the witness stand
by the plaintiff, presented arguments
to the jury designed to show that his
client was justified In saying the things
he old about the former chairman Of
the republican state committee. The
lawyer contended that the suit was,
not brought with the purpose OF -.
curing pecuniary damages but in real-I
ity was game to lower the defendant
before the people of the United
States" sss
Counsel for Mr.. Barnes were to sum
up the case of the plaintiff during the
afternoon session Of the court.
During the day Justice William 81
Andrews, presiding, denied motion

Throws a Bomb Into the
Midst of Pacificists
TELLS THEM WAR is
OFTEN UNAVOIDABLE
Advocates Preparedness Of
Nation Against, Not For,
Battle With Foes

Mohonk Lake. N. Y, May 1s.-Dr
John Grier Hibben. president of
Princeton university, stirred the Lake
Mohonk conference on international
arbitration today by taking issue with
pacifc1sts who favor disarmament and
by advocating "a wise preparedness
of our military forces in the United
States."
L do not advocate preparedness for
war;, he said, "but preparedness
against war-a preparedness which
Will prevent the enormous sacrifice of
human lives and which has charac-
terlzed every war in which the United
States has been engaged.
mo one can be SO blind regarding
the significance of present conditions
as to take the position that grave
national emergency is not at least a
possibility.
II am not in sympathy with the
peace propaganda which is being
prosecuted in many of our schools. so
far. at least. as it endeavors to quick
en- the peace sentiment by impressing
on the minds of the young children
the horrors or the economical losses
|of war"
Without naming any belligerent. DR..
Hibben asserted that one fallacy tend
ing to obstruct the progress of peace
was that "this present terrible war
has developed certain practices and
usages which will revolutionize the
accepted restrictions of international
law SO that hereafter all obligations
of nation to nation in war will be
swept away.
This is not question Of mere. aca-
demic interest which we are discus
sing" he concluded. I'VE as a nation
are looking into future that is df *
and mysterious. In the high tension
Of international hate and internation-
al suspicion the most insignificant
accident may precipitate national
catastrophe And in the great emer-
gency, if 1t should come, shall we
say Peace at any price!'
"By all means let us pay any price
which can buy peace-restraint Of
material wealth or Of every personal
convenience and comfort. Let us sac
rifice it all, everything which can buy
peace. But let US not forget that there
are something's which cannot buy
peace If we sacrifice them in order
to secure peace, the peace thus sought
becomes for us the veriest torment of
q living hell. We dare not trade hon
or for peace. We dare not betray duty
in order that we may bargain for
peace. We dare not indulge ourselves
in the enjoyment of the blessings of
peace while we turn deaf ears to the
cry of distress or to the summons Of
a righteous cause"
Never in the twenty-one years Of
it's existence had the Lake Mohonk
conference heard such a call to arms.

hills echoing the detonations of thous-
ands of projectiles.
! "The whole region did not have the
appearance of being shelled but it
, seemed rather as If it had suddenly
been set afire. 1t was covered with a
solid bank of yellow, green and white
smoke whence numberless volcanoes
burst into eruption. The bombardment
lasted quarter Of an hour. According
to all preconceived notions the enemy
should have been wiped out and incap-
able of resisting an infantry advance.
Not single Turk was visible and their
artillery had not fired round. Sud-
denly the guns ceased fire and as one
man the entire line of infantry leaped
forward to the assault of Krithia
In spite of all this artillery prepar-
alton, however, the enemy was waiting
and ready No sooner had our men
emerged from cover than storm Of
rifle and machine gun fire was opened
on them But our troops never hesi-
tated. The New Zealanders and Aus
tralians particularly charged with bay
onets straight into the Turkish line.
The manner in which these dominion
troops went forward never will be for
gotten by witnesses who saw them
melt away under the dreadful fusilade
only to be renewed again as reserves
and supports moved forward to replace
the fallen.
.'At length point was reached from
which no further advance was possible
and each man lay down and dug him
self in. It became obvious that the at
tack had spent its force. Only a few
hundred yards had been won and the
hope of taking Krithia by direct as
sault had to be abandoned
