WAR NO BUGBEAR
TO PEACE LEAGUE
ADEQUATE U. S. Preparedness
One of Their Tenets,
Members Explain.

Preparation for adequate national de-
fence is in no way inconsistent with
the purpose of the League to Enforce
Peace, according to statement issued
Yesterday by the executive committee
of which A. Lawrence Lowell, president
of Harvard, is chairman. William How
ard Taft, president of the organization,
approves the policy Of supporting the
pro-preparedness movement.
"The receipt Of inquiries regarding
the attitude Of the league toward the
issue Of military preparedness" says
the statement, "leads its executive
committee to state that there is no
conflict on the part of the league with
the reasonable and moderate pacifists
or with those who advocate the main
tenance IN this country of a larger
force for defence than we have had
hitherto.
THE league avoids two extremes
The entire logic Of It's declaration OF
purpose shows the necessity Of having
military power, while its plan of action
would. II realized, exempt the nations
from the necessity Of maintaining
Great and burdensome armies. Col
lectivc, not competitive, measures for
security, as proposed IN the plan of the
league, are far less costly and less
likely to lead to conflict than those
which would be taken by states acting
each Of itself"
In addition to President Lowell and
Professor Taft. the executive commit
tee includes John Grier Hibben, presi-
dent Of Princeton; Samuel j. Elder, of
Boston; Oscar S. Straus. John Bates
Clark, Herbert g. Houston. William b.
Rowland. Frederick Lynch. William II.
Short, and John A. Stewart. of New
York; Theodore Marburg of Baltimore;

Protests to Russia Ten
Years Ago.
ARABIA SEIZURE
STIRRED JOHN HAY
America Then Declared That
Impossible" Proof Could
Not Be Demanded.
fFrom IN. Tribun. Bursu.I

Washington. Sept. 10 Protests OF
the United States 70 Russia during the
Russo Japanese War, when John Hay
was Secretary Of State, were called TO
mind to-day by officials as strong prece-
dents for action against Great Britain
in her present restraints on trade. The
Chicago packers have already indicated
their intention TO use the case of the
steamer Arabia as a precedent for pro-
test against the condemnation of their
cargoes by the British courts, and Sec
rotary Hays protest against declaring
cotton absolute contraband is also cited
as good reason for similar action
against Great Britain.
The Arabia was bound for japanese
port with a cargo Of foodstuffs CON
signed to private merchants The
cargo was condemned by Russian
was ultimately destined for the armed
forces Of the enemy.
In his telegram Of instructions 10 the
amer lCdl An bdSSduOI 10 IEuehlh DtC
rotary Hay stated the attitude of the
United States toward Russia's declara-
ton that cotton would be considered
absolute contraband.
"The United States could not" said
the Secretary, "acquiesce in the treat
ment of raw cotton as contraband Of
war. While that product may enter 10
some extent into the manufacture OF
explosives and military clothing, the
quantity of il used for such purposes
is so far out of proportion to its uses
in the arts of peace that the recogni-
tion of its treatment as absolute con
traband would, in principle, justify the
same treatment Of all forms of iron
and steel, as well as wood, wool, all
kinds of fuel and all other materials
which could be used in the manufacture
of guns, carriages or any other article
Of potentially military use, and would,
therefore, be destructive Of virtually all
commerce of neutral states with the
-combatant population Of bellig-
erents.'
Impossible Proofs Demanded.

the seizure of the Arabia, Secretary

A petition recognizing the need OF
national defence will be sent 10 the
President and Congress when sufficient
signatures are obtained. "nying

DENYLLOYD GEORGE
SEEKS PREMIERSHIP
Friends Indignant at Charge of
His Disloyalty to Premier
ASQuith.

London. Sept. 10 3"Reynolds's Woek-
ly, whose chief owner. Sir Henry DIAL
zlel, is on close terms with Mr. Llovd
George, says that the suggestion that
the latter is plotting and intriguing TO
displace Premier AsQuith from his DO
Htion is entirely devoid Of foundation
The Minister of Munitions is under
stood TO feel very keenly the putting
forward Of such an accusation, and
there is reason TO believe that If be finds
that II is generally supported by any
opinion In his own party he will take
an early opportunity of calling for owl
dence on which the accusation is made
or It's complete withdrawal.
Mr. Lloyd George, as his own init
mate friends are fully aware, has
throughout been absolutely loyal to
his chief both in public and in private,
and at time when he is giving all the
energy of which he is capable to try 10
retrieve Great Britain's position he
feels Il particularly hard that he
should he the subject Of such personal
irsinuations.
IL is known that around Premier As
quith are men who have continually and
persisten:ly represented to the Prime
Minister that his displacement is the
real purpose which certain Of his col
leagues have always had in view, and
il has suited the ends Of some persons
to attempt to persuade the Prime Min
lister that this is the case. Happily
Mr.. Asquth has too big a mind to have
il poisoned by such vile whsperings,
and there is some reason TO believe
that he has expressed in very terse Ian
Guage how such suggestions should be
treated
The advice rendered by "Reynolds's
Weekly" is that the interests of the ma
ton at the moment demand there
should be an end of all suggestions of
dishonest motives on the part of po-
litical leaders, and its forecast is that
the same decision will be arrived at in

TRAPS BROTHERS
IN BIGAMY TANGLE
Father of One Bride Turns De-

Four Weddings.

Less than twenty-forr hours after

been arraigned on a charge of big
amy. Charles Lyle. also a chauf-
feur. who lives at 272 Alexander Ave
nue., the Bronx, was arrested on a
similar charge. william Armstrong, of
1889 Avenue A, who is said TO be
Franks latest father-inlaw, caused
both arrests. II is asserted he did a
good deal of detective work.
Frank Lyle is twenty-five, and
Charles twenty-five. Frank, il is
charged, in 1909 married Florence
Kurt. fifteen years old. daughter OF
Philip Kurt, of 1857 Third Avenue.
He was then sixteen. On August 3
last. it is alleged, he married Elizabeth
Armstrong, sixteen, in the church OF
Our Lady of Good Counsel, 236 East
Ninetieth Street.
Charles's first experiment, it is
charged, was on August 9, the day
that Frank is said to have made his
second trip to the altar. Just twenty
days later, the police say, Charles mar
ried Margaret Burke, of Seventeen
Street and First Avenue, at the church
of St. Antony, Manhattan Avenue
Greenpoint Miss Burke formerly
lived in Greenpoint
Mr.. Armstrong thought it odd when
Charles chose Frank for his best man
at the wedding of August 20.
Funny" he told his wife; Frank is
going to be best man at his brothers
wedding. First time | ever heard OF
a best man that was married" And he
began to investigate the career OF the
two chauffeurs. His inquiries led him
last week to the home of Mr.. kurtz.
Yes" said Kurtz, Frank married
my daughter six years ago"
Franks arrest followed, and in Har-
lem Court Saturday he was released on
$4,000 bail for examination to-mor-
row.
Mr.. Armstrong continued his inves-
LEGATIONS, and last night Detectives
Bishley and Murphy arrested Charles
in Van Cortlandt Park, after a spirit
ed automobile chase They had been
told that Charles was in the habit of
meeting his alleged first wife at the
Van Cortlandt Park entrance to the
subway, and they waited there for him.
As Chares's alleged offence in
marrying a second time was committed
in Brooklyn, he was sent to the Man
haitian police court in Williamsburg,
where he was held in $1,000 bail.

Standard Stretchers Needed.

zone of the most important items
about first aid, and one of the biggest
problems which will confront the COM

stretchers.

scene of The battle to the New York
hospitals and the field hospitals closer

question Of not having standard

One stretcher would have TO be tilted

A general rule about the size Of
stretchers, with another for different
sizes of ambulances, so that they would

Secretary Believes His Officers
Well Fitted to Carry on
Experimental Work.
from The Tribune Duf.aul

Washington, Sept. ~. Secretary
Daniels has given his new Naval Ad-
visory Board or "Council," as he now
terms It its first problem. In a circu-
lar letter sent to-day to the twenty
three members he asks them to submit
suggestions for an experimental and
research laboratory. for which he in
tends to ask Congress TO make an APP
preparation.

the most famous inventors in the coun-
try and organizing in practical and
efficient way to get such advice" the
Secretary writes, 81 intend greatly to
develop the resources of the Navy De-
partment itself and to increase largely
its facilities for experimental work in
the line Of developing unprotected in
yentions."
The new laboratory, if Congress ap-
propriatcs the funds. will be the result
OF the combined ideas of the twenty
three members of the Advisory COun-
Gil. The Navy Department has a model
basin at the Washington Navy Yard,
Where tests Of ship models are made 10
ascertain their buoyancy, speed, water
resistance, etc. A travelling bridge,
propelled by electric motors and
capable Of attaining a speed Of sixty
miles an hour, lows the models, while
an indicator attached to the towline
Iect tcrs the resistance. Secretary
Daniels declares this device is far
ahead II anything of similar nature
owned by private shipbuilders ana
that the latter frequently make use OF
il in testing models of merchant ships.
The experimental station at Anrap-
oils. the Secretary says, is so encum-
bercd with the routine work OF testing
materials that there is no opportunity
of utilizing it for research work. Con-
sequently, there is no place where new
devices can be tested out thoroughly,
and a great many presumably good
IDEAS arr wasted fol lack OF adequate
DEVELOPMENT facilities.
