WORLD COURT CONGRESS.
Former President VIM. n. Taft and
Alton 3. Parker are Principal
Speakers at the Cleveland
Meeting.

Cleveland, O.-With the opening
here OF the world court congress. a
movement was formally launched
which 1t advocates claim the greatest
advance yet taken toward lasting peace
among world powers. Prominent men
from all owe the country. including
William Fl. Taft, Alton B.. Parker,
Henry Clews and many others, were
present, giving assurance, Mayor
Newton b.. Baker said in his welc0m-
ing address, that the movement rs
not visionary and not impractical"
The congress plans an International
court Of justice, founded on an agree.
ment to which all the great powers
would be signatory. All signatory Ia
tons would submit their disputes to
the court. One not so doing would be
subjected to the combined pressure OF
the others. Each speaker at the open
Ing session dwelt on the stable char
acter of the congress- plan.
This body is not so foolish as to
conceive that var will be made impos-
sible by&uch a court" said John Hays
Hammond. chairman, in an address
opening the deliberations. What we
hope to do is to minimize the posi-.
bility 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-
teal. We are not rainbow chasers
and we are not offering a millennium
Judge Alton b. Parker made an at.
tack on the United States senate,
which, he said, had nullified previous
attempts at treaty-making. which
would have insured the United States
against war with Great Britain OF
France. He declared that the opinion
of the American people must be sc
decidedly nodded that when the time
comes for an international agreement
the United States would be certain tC
be a signatory, the senate notwith
standing.
And" he added, does anyone
doubt but that when the awful conlic
in Europe Is ended the warning ma
tons, viewing their dead and their de
vastated countries, will welcome
plan which promises an end to sucl
disasters

Being Started by Reaction.
sries--Generai Villa
10 Worried.

I'll Paso. Tex.-Leaving his troops
In the field to fight the Obregon forces
General Francisco Villa is hurrying
to the border at Juarez to investigate
reports that a new revolution is be-
ing formed by r~eactionaries of Mex.
leo. His troops have been battling for
days with an army of 10000 men at
the Leon-Guanajuato battle front,
with little advantage to either side.
Villa considers the activity of the
old Huerta regime officials. along the
border more important than the pres.
ent battle. An invasion by them Of
the northern part of Mexico would
mean that he would lose Juarez and
thus be cut of from his base Of sup
plies. He imports all his ammuni-
ton from the United States through
Juarez, as well as his provisions.
At the present time there are fifteen
generals Of the old Huerta army, as
well as 1000 officers and men of this
organization in FL Paso. Many of
them admit that they are receiving
pay from the new military organiza.
ton. which has its headquarters in
New York. They are awaiting the
order for the invasion of the new rev.
dictionary force TO Mexico.
villa currency has dropped to 3
cents. the lowest it has ever been yet
quoted. Reports Of the fighting
around Leon declared Obregon's right
wing has taken the offensive in an
,Yort to force It's way to the north.

Des Moines, Ia.-Warden ]. c. Sand
era Of the Fort Madison penitentiary
was again refused permission by the
state executive council to msnufac-
ture automobile plates used in the
state. The refusal was on the ground
that convict labor should not be per-
mitted to compete with free labor.
Sanders has been after the privilege
of making the plates for the last six
years. Each year he has been denied.
One OF the reasons the warden claims
the state should give him the contract
is that industries must be established
at the prisons.
