There was animated discussion over
the adoption of the name of the

Cured on the several questions that
came before the conference was on
the changing of the title of the organ

The proposed elimination Of the word

erwise we have no business here al
ALL" he exclaimed with spirit. we
have here a means to discourage war
and that means is the threat to use
force" After this speech the report
of the committee was adopted.
Bcrger's Resolution Rejected.
One Of the principal suggestions re-
jected by the resolutions committee
Chairman Lowell said, was that Of
fered by Victor c. Berger of Wiscon-
sin, which would prevent the sigma
tory nations furnishing the belligerent
countries arms and ammunition. An
other one was offered by the Rev Dr
II. Pereira Mendes of New York. 1t
provided that the judicial tribunal of
the league of nations be composed OF
jurists, skilled diplomatlsts and cler-
gymen.

too militaristic."
you are using too much force he
said. "You want more militarism TO-
fight militarism. We don't want TO
be the worlds sheriff or the worlds
policeman. To apply your plan IL
would require a bigger army and navy
and it would have the United States
in trouble all the time. There Is TOO
much Teddy Rooseveltism in it"
There were half dozen brief
speeches in favor of the report. John
Wanamaker did not think the report
went far enough. lie had hoped the
would send out message
to the warning nations that would
make them pause and think. He could
not help but favor the report, he ad-
ded. but felt that it, standing alone
without any further action, would be
ut by those on the other side
of the Atlantic.
