Says American Republics
Are Tied in Firm Bonds
of Interests and Ideals

In his opening address before the Sec
tion on international law. public law,
Jurisprudence. etc. Chairman Charles
Noble Gregory said:
The American republics have three
strong bonds holding them to a COM
mon interest. These are geographical
contiguity: the fact that all have their
foundation in a noble struggle for free
dom and self-government and the IA ct
that they have embalmed these prin-
cipies in their paramount law and very
form Of government.
with these triple ties uniting US, IL
is impossible but that our internationa a
relations should have much in COM
mon, and that the wise and temperate
consultations Of our statesmen. our Jur-
lists and our scholars should add to the
peace and security Of our Americas, and

DR.. David Jayne Hill Talks
OF Plans for the Formation
of Pan-American Fraternity

The American countries above all
others are interested in the preserva-
tion of constitutional self-government.
said David Jayne Hill before the sec
tion on international law, public law
and Jurisprudence today.
There will be among self-governing
countries such unanimity in the ac-
ceptance of the principles of interna-
tfonal justice and such union in organ
izing such necessary means of defense
as to present to the world formidable
solidarity of peoples determined. TO
maintain their independence against
arbitrary aggression" said Mr.. Hill:
Founded upon the same Fundamental
principles, with the same general
theory of the state as the protector
Of human rights, the American coun-
tries are in a favorable position to
attain such solidarity.
1T is easy to point out obstacles to
such union, but the really decisive
thing is the clear perception that

American fraternity. For this 1t is es-
sential that there be profound con-
sciousness on the part of all the Amer
lean peoples that their welfare is close
ly bound up with their duties and their
responsibilities. 7
Set Of Arbitrary Rules.
For the absolute state international
law is merely a set of arbitrary rules.
to which assent and obedience may be
accorded or. from which they may be
withheld. as it may be the good pleas
ure of sovereign power to determine.
But for the constitutional state there
are principles of natural justice Wnicn
are Of universal applications; for they
are the principles upon which the au-
thority of the state are log1cal cor
laries of the constitutional system and
they must stand or fall together. II
constitutional government has right
to exist, notwithstanding the arbitrary
forces that may oppose it. then inter-
national law is binding upon states;
for it is in substance only the applica-
ton of principles of justice to the So
ciety of states. Whatever reasons
there are for the authority of law be-
tween individuals of the same nation.
these same reasons exist and have
equal force for the authority of law be-
tween states. The aim in both cases is
the protection of the weak against the
cupidity and rapacity of the strong.
The American countries above all 9TH
ers are interested in the preservation
of constitutional self-government. So
long as all of them adhere to this sys-
TEN the independence of every one OF
them would seem to be assured"

May Properly Lend Aid.

The government may properly lend

present difficulties may be overcome II
agricultural products entered trade on
a fixed basis of fixed grades fair to all
parties involved. Only the government
can determine the bases of these stand
ards and the determination can come
only through scientific and technical
work The government also may lay
down principles to regulate the storing

fallacy that relief will come through
legislative action without regard to
the economic and other laws involved"

DR.. Eliot Tells of Changes
in the Secondary Schools
Which Are Needed in U. S

"The Changes Needed in American
Secondary Education was the subject of
a paper prepared by and read for DR..
Charles w. Eliot. president emeritus of
Harvard University, at the morning ses-
sion today OF the section Of the congress
devoting its interest to education. Too
little attention is being paid in the schools
today to sense training. in the opinion Of
DR.. Eliot.
1.-THE most important part of educa-
tion," he said, ''is the training Of the
senses. which, besides supplying the
faculty of accurate observation. creates
the habit of careful reflection and meas
ured reasoning. The boys on the farms.
no less than those who are being trained
in the trades. acquire extensive develop
ment of the senses. The advent Of me
chanical power and machinery, however.
has impaired this development"
DIR. Eliot said this sense training
should be the prime object in human edu-
cation, from the primary to the profess
sional grade. He pointed out that educa-
ton in ancient times was based prin-
cipally on literature. accompanying this
being the study of the fine arts, thus call
ing for a high artistic development. The
secondary schools are now giving from
one-tenth to one-sixth Of their force to
observational, sense-training subjects.

Relation of the Government
to the Marketing Problem
Explained by DR.. Galloway

The relation of the government to
the marketing problem was explained
today before the members of section
three of the Pan-American Scientific
Congress. devoted to conservation of
natural resources. meeting at the Ra-
leikh Hotel. DR.. Beverly T. Galloway.
former assistant secretary Of agricul-
ture and now dean of New York State
College of Agriculture, Cornell Uni
versity, being the speaker.
The governments first function. in its
relation to the marketing problem is
to develop a united mind and real
knowledge Of the broader questions at
issue, was the opinion expressed by
Prof Galloway. The state. and the state
only, he thought, can bring about a
true understanding and appreciation OF
the social, moral ethical and business
questions involved.
No Place for Glass Legislation.
I'VE can sweep aside at once" said
Prof. Galloway. "all those proposed
forms Of legislation that aim to do
things for the producer that he ought
to do for himself. There should be no
place anywhere for class legislation,
because the farmer does not need and
should not be regarded as needing spe-
cial privileges of the government. Diff
fculties cannot be met by. govern
mental fiat, but only through the OBJ
servation of economic laws. There is
need for uniform constructive legisla-
tion that does not recognize more or
less meaningless boundary lines Look,
for instance, at the situation with ref
erence to protecting the life and health
of the people. Pure food is pure food
wherever found. Yet our health laws
vary much in justice.
Because of the lack of uniformity in
the application of sane laws for the
benefit of the whole people. control of
various commodities has fallen into

Miss Draper wore a charmingly dainty
little frock of corn colored chiffon en-
bossed with velvet flowers In scat
tered pattern, the dominant note OF
color being deep purple. and to carry
out the color scheme the skirt was
caught in festoons about the bottom,
held in place by pansies. A large pansy
nestled in the corsage.
Mrs. John w. Foster wore a rich
gown of black lace, the pattern OF the
lace being brought out in gold. The
gown was made with a skirt COM
posed entirely of lace f1ounces. the edge
of the lace being in deep points. which
fell one over the other. The lace
fiounces also formed the shoulder and
corsage drapery of the bodice, the
foundation of which was entirely OF

Mrs William Corcoran Eustis looked
lovely in a dull French blue velvet bro
caded in large dots of the same shade

about the shoulders and across the cor

Franco-Serbian successes in South
ern Serbia probably have rendered
untenable the Kumanovo- -Vranya line
OF the Bulgarians along the Nish-
Saloniki road, according to a Saloniki
dispatch. The Bulgarians in this sec
tor are declared to be menaced by
Serbian attacks from both sides.
In Northwestern Serbia the Aus
trians report substantial progress.
They have seized strong positions
south of Oberenovac and their forces
of occupation are nearing Valjevo,
from which Austrian cavalry already
has driven the Serbians. From Wise
grad, in Bosnia. the Serbians have
been driven back to the Serbian bor-
der. Vienna declares the mountain
Gus country in the bend of the Danube
east of the Klissura narrows has
virtually been cleared of hostile forces.

east corner of Serbia, where fhe con-
tact between Bulgarian and Austro-
German forces seems on the point of
being accomplished according to ad-
vices from Bucharest, Rumania.
In the Champagne district in France
the Germans again have attacked the
position at La Courtine, portions of
which the French claimed to have
held after its capture recently. Paris
declares the latest attack was COM
pletely repulsed.
Hard fighting continues in the
various sectors of the Austro-Italian
front. where the Italians are driving
their offensive movement for Gorilla
and the approaches to Trent. Vienna
declares the invaders have failed to
make progress Some slackening of
the force of the attack on the Doberdo
plateau is reported.
Vienna asserts that the Austrian
aerial raid on Venice was in reprisal
for an Italian air attack on Trieste.
Material damage to military property

Was Gross Attack
Prompted by Interest
in Morton Tractor Co ?

Isn't ex-Mayor E. z. Gross closely
identified with the Morton Truck and
Tractor Company?" was the general
and properly curious question that
was asked in the streets to-day when
a morning paper printed a statement
of Mr.. Gross in which he attacked
Commissioners Lynch, Bowman and
Taylor for insisting upon the award
OF the contract for motor apparatus
TO the lowest bidder instead of to the
Morton Company
That Mr.. Gross son-in-Iaw. John
Campbell is treasurer, is generally
known: that his son is a draughtsman
for the motor company is also gener
ally known. and the prevailing i'm
preston in the streets to-day was that
Mr.. Gross is either a stakeholder or
director in the same concern. Mr..
Gross denied that he was either.
