preston that when an officers arms
were extended from his, shoulders
along the line Of street, the street
was open for traffic and that vehicles
travelling on the intersecting street
could make the right hand turn into
the open street Unless this is the
case It is difficult. drivers say. to see
how the turn into another street Is to
be made unless on special signal; and
as the new system was adopted to do

as far as possible, they took for grant

Officers do not understand it this
way, or at least some Of them do not,
and several men have been arrested
for making the right hand turn into
an open street without waiting for per-
mission from an officer Others have
been arrested for not stopping within

 "Acquantance Softens Prejudice."
 Acquaintance softens prejudice has been ringing in my ears ever since those three words were uttered by a foreign graduate of one of our Ameri- can universities in g speech delivered some years ago. The learned states man, Hon. Elihu Root, voiced the same sentiment when about to leave the high office of secretary of state in sub stantially these words: Ut were impos- ,sible for any nation to be at war if the peoples of the conflicting countries un- derstood each otaer.r
 Universal expesitions soften preju- .dices, remove commercial antiquities and settle political differences by bringing the people of all nations into friendly intercourse for the discussion of ideas. the exchange of commodities and for the advancement of mankind socially, morally. intellectually and commercially. They reflect the thought and action of peaceful. pursuits and reach their greatest successes during or following long periods of national and international peace. Their exhib- its are the product of the arts of peace. and their object is the promotion of peaceful activity in thought and word and deed They are the antithesis of war. the embodiment of peace. Their grounds are set apart as extrateTri- toriaa, devoted to the use of all nations and all peoples on d parity and equali- ty. The Panama-Pacific International Exposition grounds today are common to all. No creed or race is barred; all have equal r-hts and privileges. 1t k neutral ground for warning or tranquil nations alike II is one great demoe- raev where all unite in contributing to m expression of gratitude for the pres ant and snsfiration for the future, and because the exposition is really the child of peace do we deem it priv ilege- aye. even a duty yto enter our protest aeainst the terrible conditions now prevailing in Europe.

TWO NEW OFFICES
IN FRENCH CABINET
Three Under Secretaries Provided For;
New Plan Relieves Minister OF
War Of Unimportant "Details.

PARIS, July 1.-The French
cabinet today decided to create two
new under secretaries Of state in tho
ministry of war thus making three
under secretaries in this department.
Albert Thomas, who recently was
appointed under secretary of war, will
be virtually minister of munitions.
The two new ones will direct the army
transport and sanitary service.
The president appointed Deputy
Joseph Thierry and Deputy Justin
Godart to fill these positions as under
secretaries.
The cabinet determined upon this
action 50 as to deCcntrali2e admins
tration and give Minister Of War
Millerand added freedom from ad-
ministrative details and moro time to
consider larger questions.
The recent action Of parliament in
passing the Dalbiez law for industrial
mobilization so that the government
would be able to secure an increase in
the number of skilled workmen for
the production Of munitions by taking
men from the ranks seems to have
been in anticipation of future re-
quirements for shells when all arms
Of the artillery are likely 10 be in
prolonged action.
1t does not appear that the French
army has been short of shells at any
time since last September or October,
hut the efforts of the government are
constantly to increase the output since
it has been seen how enormously eff
fective is the artillery arm, causing,
ms it does, seven tcnths of all casual
ties. Shell production since the be-
ginning of last December has been
about 100000 a day in excess Of ordi-
nary consumption on the firing line.
