In concluding this report of 1899 Ad-
miral Lowe offered his opinion as to
what the future policy of the Navy
Department should be, after fnaugu-

There should be submarine torpedo

than one office.

INTERNATIONAL POLICE

Limitation Of ArmamentS on Land
 and Sea Also Proposed.

Bunalo, N. Y, Jan. .22.-Resolutions urging President Wilson to consider and submit to the next International congress the proposition of limitation of armaments, both on land and sea, and the ablishment of an interna- uonal police force, were submitted to the New York State Bar association today by the committee on interna- tional arbitration, disarmament and International police.
 Report of Committee.
 After review of the Hague conven- tlnns, the committees report reads:
 Tt thus appears that, so far as mutual agreements embodied in treaties are concerned, the principal nations of the world have agreed to settle their differences by peaceful means; yet, during the year 1914. in
New Britain herald., 1915-01-22

spite of all these treaties, and others to which we need not now particu- larly refer, we find many of these same nations involved in the most bloody and destructive war that has happened since the beginning of the world. It is not to be supposed that these nations were not sincere in their mutual declarations. On the con- tfary. we are bound to assume that they were. but that they were carried away by the heat of passion when questions arose which might have been submitted to an impartial tri- bunal for it's decision. This danger was greatly increased by the fact that it had become the policy of some of the nations to make every able bodied ctizn a soldier, and drill and equip him in such fashion that he could be called into the field, or as the phrase is mobilize at a moments notice. Hence, we have war in which liter ally millions of men are engaged on each side in which all the resources Of science and all the ingenuity of mechanism are employed for mutual destruction. s.
 For the enforcement of agree ments and of statutes, which bear the do to international law, each nation has provided an internal police, which may, in case of need, be sup ported by the national army. Since the nations have been able to agree upon the formation of an information al court of arbitration, should they

not be willing to follow the analogy of this institution existing in each and provide an international police! In such case, the independent army of each nation should be strictly limited. AS a result each nation would be without the power to begin war on great scale. An interna tional police could check any turbu- fence and invasion of one nation by another, just as the police of par ticular nation, seconded, if need be, by the army of that nation, puts down a mob or suppresses an insurrection.
 Treaty of 1917.
 Tn the year 1877 treaty was made between the United States and Great Britain limiting the naval force to be maintained upon the American lakes by Great Britain and the gov ernment of the United States to one vessel each on Lake Ontario and Lake Champlain and two vessels on each of the upper lakes. It was further agreed: That all other armed vessels on these lakes shall be forth with dismantled and that no other vessels of war shall be there built or armed This treaty has remained in force and been observed ever since, and with one or two trif1ing modifica- tions occasioned by special circum- stances which were approved by both parties. It is probably due to this treaty more than any single cause that there has been no war between this country and Great Britain for over one hundred years

On quite inferior plane;
I made of her a servant,
And scorned her heart and brain
But, oh, alas! it came to pass
She talked of naught but pots and pans
Of mops and soaps and picking cans
Of tucks and tulles and pins and thread
And recipes for soups and bread
Until I vowed no more I'd rule
A combination drudge and fool.
l put her on a pedestal,
To worship at her shrine,
Her head enhaloed and her eyes
Upraised to look divine.
But still, ali, met twas misery.
She talked to me of hymns and spires
Of saints and souls and martyred sires,
Of sins and sacrifices high,
Of training piously to die
Until with all her sanity strength,
She got upon my nerves at length.
So now nor high nor low place
Ny mate, but by my side
keep her, share with her my life,
With her the world divide
And, To- 1 find this suits my mind.
She talks to me of business schemes,
Of politics, of arts, of dreams,
Of love and laughter, of the news,
Of books and men and modern views
Until I swear, by all that's brave,
A comrade beats a saint or slave.

Successful Cooperation in Kansas.

We publish the following by request:
Kansas has succeeded in upsetting
many traditions, economic and other
wise. The state had its beginning in
the upsetting of the tradition that it
was a desert and unproductive, that it
would not even grow trees; it has had
to overcome and live down the tradition
of the drouth, of the grasshopper, of
the cyclone. It has upset the tradition
that the farmer must be borrower
always, never lender. 1t has over
come the tradition that prohibition
''does not prohibit. And now, through
reversal of established procedure, it
has proved that cooperation is practical
and profitable. Cooperation has, as
rule, been resorted to in the past, there
and elsewhere, only when industrial
and financial conditions have been such
as to compel resort to unusual means
of saving. Cooperation has been re-
sorted to in the past nearly always for
the promotion of more economical buy
ing.
Kansas has turned to it in prosperity
and for the furtherance of economical
selling. In Kansas cooperation begins
by building elevators for the storage
and holding of grain, the issue of stor-
age certificates, the insurance of the
farmer against the glutted and cheap
ened market, against the exactions of
the commission man or the manipula-
ton of the Spectator. The Kansas
farmer, working in cooperation with
his neighbors today, does not have to
sell his grain to meet his pressing
necessities, does not have to pay ex-
cessive storage charges in order to
hold it, is not so easily tempted to ship
it because there is bulge" in Chica-
go quotations. Cooperation enables
him to bide his time. Cooperation in
selling leads to cooperation in buying,
and where both are operated jointly,
according to the Kansas method, they
show some astonishing results.
The Topeka Capital recently printed
an account of the business transacted
by the Mitchell County Cooperative
association for its last fiscal year, just
ended. The net profits are shown to
have been 81, 900 on a total capital of
SAT, 900. This is equal approximately
to 60 per cent, which in itself is a re-
markable exhibit. But the association
has accomplished more. Its GROWING
achievement was that of saving the
farmers of the district over which its
influence extends something ike S118,
600 on their wheat, says the Christian
Science Monitor. In other words, il
has helped the farmers to escape what
would have amounted to loss of this
sum had they been without the means
of holding their wheat for q more fav-
orable market.

What it Means.


The cross county macadam road from
Phillipsburg, in Philips county, to Lar
ned, Pawnee county, would put all the
counties it traversed in close touch with
two great trunk line roads, the Rock
Island at PhilIipsburg and the Santa Fe
at Larned. 1t would help build up the
Fort Hays Normal; men with their
families would come here to live and
school their children; more stores and
other lines of business would be estab-
ished, additions would be made to the
town and Hays would soon be flourish
ing city with FIVE or six thousand peo-
pie.
The Golden Belt through the county
should also be ballasted, it would be the
greatest help to the county that has
ever happened.
In speaking of the proposed rock
automobile road from Kansas City to
St. Louis, the Star says:
cit would put those counties on one
of the great transcontinental highways.
Every county recognizes the Importance
of being located on transcontinental
railroad. The automobile is just at the
start of its development. Its possibili-
ties for carrying freight and passengers
are only beginning to be realized. But
the time is coming in this new era of
motor cars when location on through
motor route is going to compare in i'm
portance with location on a through
steam route.
This cross-state rock road will bring
tourists by the tens of thousand
through on their way to Colorado and
the West. Traffic will be multiplied
ten, twenty, fifty times. Every town
along the route will feel the stimulus,
and when the towns are prosperous the
farmers will have a better market for
their produce. The army of travellers
who will pass through will be fed and
taken care of by the counties.
/ Even more important are the advan-
/ tages that will be brought to the coun-
ties by the ability of farmers to drive
| to the railroad station and to reach the
leading towns in any sort of weather.
The trunk line, with its feeders, will
make the markets always accessible to
the farm business man. He will no
longer be cut off by mud from the
town where he wishes to sell his stuff
just when prices are highest.
With a good, hard surface road trav-
ersing the county and connecting with
the adjoining counties, there will be
speedy development of jitney and truck
service. Passengers will be carried be-
tween towns and farms by the jitneys,
and it will be possible for the motor
truck to pick up the farm produce each
morning and take it to town. Such q
service that has to depend on fai1
weather to run is too expensive and
uncertain. But on rock roads it can be
made big thing for the farmer"
With an auto macadam road from
north to south through the county anC
the Golden Belt also macadamized Hay:
would grow like weed.
With an auto tax of $500 on each cal
and tax of $3.50 on each motorcycle
it would seem that what help the citi
zens of the township would Willingly
give in the way of grading, ETC., boil
roads could be completed within tn,
next eighteen months. Why not max,
an effort to start the good roads move
ment at once. 1t is what we need ant
must have.

western safes, cooperation is being
rapidly applied to the marketing of
other things than grain; to garden
products, to poultry and to butter and
eggs. Cooperation In selling, indeed, IS
of greater Importance to producers
than cooperation in buying, and the
reverse of this is the case among, con
sumers; where 1t is possible to CO.
operate both in selling and IN buying
the best results are obtained. 1t would
be interesting to know just now to
what extent cooperation throughout
the great cereal belt of the country has
prevented the phenomenally large crops
of last autumn, despite the extraordi-
nary export demand created by q
European war, from flooding and de-
pressing the Chicago market.

II il a Mistake.

Somebody has said that there are
more young men in the penitentiary in
this country learning trades than there
are outside of them. The principal
cause of this is, we are educating our
young men for gentlemen; trying to
make lawyers, doctors and clerks out of
the material nature intended for black
smiths, carpenters, and other hewers
of wood and drawers of water. 1t is a
mistake and big one to teach boys
and girls by insinuation or otherwise
that to labor is disgraeeful, or if labor
is necessary for livelihood to follow a
genteel occupation, and that to do
nothing for living is more becoming
the society in which they expect to
move and have respect.-Ex

Normal Notes and OHlmentS.
Tornadoes, Cyclones ard Hurricanes.

TOrnadoes, Cyclones ard Hurricanes.
Since the convention of tornadoes
was held in the vicinity of Hays, few
weeks ago, there has been more or less
debate about the proper use of the
words at the top of this article.
Tornadoes are small, local, whirling
storms developing almost always with
thunder storms. They cover only few
hundred feet of territory lin width) at
most. They are comparatively rare
occurances, being seen by any individ
ual on the average only two or three
times in life time.
Cyclones are continental in size. We
are in the midst of one every four or
five days. They are merely the great
welcome USUALLY storm areas which
cross the country periodically every
week. They cross the country from
the Pacific to the Atlantic with big
circling motion (hence the word cyclone)
but the area they cover is so large that
in any one place the wind is blowing
straight.
A hurricane is very hard, straight
wind. When the wind blows at rate
between twenty-five and seventy-fve
miles per hour we call it a gale. When
it blows between seventy-fve and one
hundred miles per hour we call it a
hurricane.
The rate of the wind in tornado is
unreasonable.
What the vicinity of Hays had a few
weeks ago, was tornadoes-n cyclones
or hurricanes, We are in a cyclone
probably while you read this article.
