towards making his a self-gov-

The essential feature OF the
movement towards peace looks to
the gradual substitution of law for
force throughout Europe. and the
necessary preliminary steps are
found in an abatement of arma-
ment. the removal OF war max
ing from the hands OF any small
or secret group, and the guaran-
teeing OF the freedom of the sea.

THE PEACE THOUGHT OF THE WORLD
An Analysis OF the Many Plans for the Future
Of Amicabe International Relations
BY DAVID STARR JORDAN
Chancellor, Leland Stanford, Jr., Universit

One OF the most encouraging
features OF our time IL found in
the many efforts on the part or
societies and OF individual men
TO frame the condition of lasting
peace in Europe. II is interesting
to note how largely the plans OF
regeneration agree among them
selves. Some fifteen OF these
plans. the work of as many socie
ties in America and Europe. show
that all are more or less avowed-
ly interested IN the democratic
control OF foreign policy In the
different nations OF Europe. The
societies to maintain the prin-
ciple of autocratic control have
not been heard from.
The various propositions here
analysed. arising from America.
England. Holland. South Ger
many. Norway and Belgium. agree
that the first necessity for peace
in Europe is drastic reduction
OF armament on all sides. The
War System naturally culmin-
ated In war. Il has produced the
gravest catastrophe in all his
tory. and in doing this. IL has
fallen by its own weight. The
people who pay and die can pay
no longer. and the death roll has
left every nation impoverished in
blood. not to recuperate within a
century.
Next comes the demand that
the declaration OF war shall not
be an instantaneous process. Every
obstacle that can be placed in
the way OF declaring war should
be provided. Chief among them
is the time element, and provl-
national commission on the al
legged grievances. But as wars
In our time seldom rests on
grievances, the essential matter
Is to remove war-making from
the control OF the military group.
To do this is the purpose OF the
influential Council OF Democratic
Control. founded by Norman An
CELL and his associates.
All these plans contemplate
the freedom OF the sea. and OF ali
the channels OF trade, under in
ternational guarantee. The mon
strosity known as Sea Power"
would vanish II merchant and
passenger vessels would be made
immune, allowed to traverse the
ocean as freely I'm time OF war
as in time OF peace. For all
attack on such vessels is war
against non-combatants. r strik-
ing at those who cannot strike
back: and this kind OF warfare
while il adds greatly To the suf-
fering of non-combatants. has no
decisive effect on the war rself.
At the Hague in 1907. Germany
and the United States were in
favor or immunity at sea. but
Great Britain was not. Later
British public opinion rapidly
changed. and II. instead OF war.
we had had the Hague Confer
ence in 1915. its proper time. we
should probably have seen the end
OF this form of legalized piracy.

HEFLN EXPECTS TO SEE COTTON PRICES
 GO "UP TO 20 CENTS"
Alabama Congressman Tells House That Day of Diversified Farm ing Has Dawned in
 the South

Washington, January 23.--Represen- tative Hefln of Alabama told the House today that he expected to see the price for cotton Ego up to around 20 cents in the winter of 1915. ''The day of diversified farming has come in the south," he said. There ia the dawn of a new day. My people Lave been taught by a bitter experience to break the shackles that have bound them to one idea in farming. The Jays are coming, not far off, when the fields will blossom along with cotton, with corn, oats, wheat and peas. With those as the base of supplies, as q fertilization, the farmer will dictate the prices of cotton to the world
 King Cotton no longer will be the only product on the southern farm, but just one of multiplicity of prod ucts. No longer will it be burden but blessing. With the strength that the diversified ideas give the farmer cotton will be given her place in the markets of the earth.

MANILA INSURGENT
 LEADER TO BE PUT TO
 DEATH FOR MURDER
Governor General Harrison Orders { General Noriel's Execution for January 27-- Case Has
 Caused Sensation

Manila. January Ex-Governor General Harrison today directed that General Mo- rlel the insurgent leader. who is one of the most prominent natives of the prov ince of Cavte, be put to death on Jan uary e7. The execution originally was set for January 12. but Judge Revilla, a native jurist, issued a stay.
 Influential F'ilipinos exerted every ef- fort on behalf of General Noriel, but Governor Harrison overruled Judge Re- villa and directed that the death sentence be carried out. The pending measure abolishing capital punishment offers the only hope for the general.
 Washington, January 2S.-General Mo- riel was found guilty of murdering na- tive with whom he had quarreled at a cock fight.
 The murder was committed in 1902. The trial, which was sensational, was held at Manila in June, 1912. Two alleged &C., complices of General Noriel were given a sentence of life Imprisonment.
 General Noriel was a prominent sup porter of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, the leader of the revolt against the United States in 1901, and he commanded the Cavite insurgent forces in the attack on Manila in that rebellion.
