noises especially in inducing blowers OF
whistles and ringers of bells to curb the
exhaust. Mrs. Oakley Is chairman of
the Noise Committee of the Federation.
The Billboard nuisance was one of the
chief topics of the days discussion.
THE fundamental difficulty in meeting
the billboard problem has been the objec-
tion of courts to recognizing aesthetic
considerations I'm regulating outdoor ad-
vertising," said f. l.. Millard, of Chicago,
speaking on legal aspects of the problem.
THE first objections to outdoor adver-
tisements are that they offend the eyes
and that the structures which generally
support them tend to create physical dan
gers and nulsances. All sorts of crimes
were laid to billboards. They cause fires.

Roosevelt, However, Says
War Is as Necessary as

ROOT ON WORLD LAW
Peace By CompuIsiOn
as Seen by Statesmen

Compulsory peace was advocated
before the Pan-American Congress
today. 1t was favored by two
prominent delegates, while Colonel
Roosevelt contended that war was
a necessity, at least that it had
proved so in the past. The ideas
expressed were:
Elihu Root-Laws to be obeyed
must have punishment behind them.
An international code should be en-
forced by arms if necessary.
Eusebio Bracamente, Salvador
delegate A Pan-American court
of justice with joint treaties among
all Pan-American countries for
compulsory arbitration of differ
ences.
Colonel Roosevelt-If a man OBJ
jects to the use of force in civil life
to protect his home and rights, his
position is logical, although alb
surd and wicked. War made this
country fit to inhabit.
