PRESENT WAR THE LAST.
James M. Beck Believes World Will
Not Permit Repetition.

MONTREAL, March 20.-James N.
Beck of New York, former assistant at
torney general of the United States, in
an address last night on The Lawyer
and Social Progress" before the Ca
madam Bar Association. alluded to
problems he believed would arise after
the close Of the European war and sug-
gested means for solving them.
After this terrible war is over there
will arise from every part of the globe
an insistence that its repetition shall
be prohi bited." said the speaker, and
that the relations of the different states
shall be fixed by some prominent and
enforcible laws"
He suggested an international legis-
lature to enact such laws; an interna-
tional judiciary to interpret them and
some cooperative effort to enforce
them.

RARE COURT DECREE GIVEN
AGAINST SHIPS OWNERS
Norwegian Vessel Refuses to Garry
Canadian Coal to Europe De-
spite Contract.

NEW YORK, March 20.-Owners OF
the Norwegian steamship Olav were
held liable for breach Of contract in
a decision handed down yesterday by
Federal Judge Veeder, because they
notified the Dominion Coal Company of
Canada that on account of the war
their vessel would not be available this
wear under a five-year charter to ply
between Canada and European ports
The defendants notified the coal COM
pany that the neutrality laws of Nor
way would be violated If the boat
were compelled to carry contra ba nd
goods.
Although the ship owners contended
that under the contract the Olav was
not called upon to appear In Glace
bay, Newfoundland, until May. Judge
Veeder decided that tho Queatton of tho
vessels carrying contraband was prob
lematical, and that II such a demand
were made the defendants could have
refused. The coal company sued for
s225.000, but the court did not rule on
the amount of damages. holding that
this would have to be decided by the
expense incurred by the coal company
in chartering another vessel.
The decision was in the form of an
anticipatory decree in admiralty, and
in the history of American courts.
