Alexandre Ribot Asserts in Urging
 Chamber of Deputies to Grant
 Credit on Budget Account.
 Paris, Dec. 16. p. m. (Delayed)- Tn the course of his demand today in the chamber of deputies that the chamber grant three months credit on the budget account, Alexandre Ribot, French minister of finance, stated that the subscription to the recent French national loan from London alone was 6OO,O0O,OO0 francs (s120,0O0,OOO
 The minister said that the calcula- ton concerning the results of the loan was incomplete and therefore he would quote no total figure. He could say however, the country had answered the call. He declared that the loan had been made by French savings tsnd that speculation played no part in it.
 M. Rfbot also stated that the war expenditure, per month, was now 2,10O, 100000 francs.
 Paris, Dec. 16, 10:50 p. nl.-The chamber, by a vote of 504 to l, voted the credits asked on account of the first semister of 1918.
 At the beginning of hostilities," said M. Ribot, financial considera- tions took a secondary place. We did not think the war would last seven teen months and now no one can foresee when it will end"
 Tn the course of the discussion, Deputy Jules Roche said the war al- ready had cost France 26 billion francs ($5,2OO, and her ene- mics AZ billion francs. Europe as a whole, he said, has expended 194 bil- lion francs

BALCH EXPLAINS
 WISCONSIN PLAN"
Described as Conference Of Neu. tralS for Continuous Mediation
Especial to the Ierald.J

''Wisconsin Plan" described as a con- Wisconsin Plan," described as a con- ference of neutrals for continuous me- diation, was explained by Professor
 Emily G. Balch of Wellesley college at the Clark University Conference
 on "The Problems and Lessons of the War today. Professor Balch, who
 was 8 delegate to the recent Interna- tional Congress of Women at The Hague, declared that too much time
 had been spent, at Hague congresses and elsewhere, in arranging the ways in which war should be carried on. "The time that has been spent in naggling over dum-dum bullets and
 legislating that bombs solely for the dispersion of asphyxiating gases should be legitimate, might have been better employed" she said. Let us not call together new conference to arrange. how to make war tolerable. Let us get rid of the idea that if war ! Is only properly regulated and po- litely conducted it is all right.
 Would Spoil Conference.
 "A conference of neutrals laying
 down and insisting on their own
 grievances and claims would be, by
 that very fact, spoiled for mediatory
 functions or for conciliation."
 Professor Balch said that the spon- tors Of the Wisconsin Plan' argued that humanity should be able to find some method of avoiding prolonged wholesale destruction and that the only way was to adopt the device of placing simultaneous conditional proposals before the belligerents; that 10 place sane standing proposals be- lore the nation swould tend to ripen the time for peace, and that there
 ought to be a commission of experts

Swarthmore College Professor Says 1t
 Instils Militarism.
Especial to the Herald }

Especial to the Hera1d>
 Worcester, Mass, Dec. 18.-Military preparedness for this country was the Clark university conference on "The Problems and Lessons of the War" by William I. Hull, professor of history at Swarthmore college. Preparedness" he said, 'instils the poison of militarism not only into in- ternational relations; it militarizeS national and individual life as we'll. One of the prime characteristics of the progress of civilization is growing respect for law and for the ,sanctity of human life; and yet our republic is summoned to prepare to engage in in- ternational anarchy and in the whole sale destruction of human life. Is it possible that we are going to permit our beloved republic to enter upon that brutal path of militarism which inevitably must lead to the abyss We are standing today at the parting of the ways. What shall we take {? The irrational path of so-called ade- quate ornaments or the rational path of adequate justice? The United States has today the unparalleled op-
 
 alright, and of leading the world along the better way.
 "If our own great republic keeps the faith, and reassures the world both by precept and example that it has definitely turned it's face from mili- tarism and towards judicial settle ment of international, as of state and ! individual disputes, then indeed it will be in a position, not only to play useful role in shortening the present war and influencing the terms of peace, but also in persuading the world to adopt the American pro- gram"
