WATCHING BRITAIN's EFFORTS

long step will have been taken toward
the time when universal service will
be generally accepted in the United
States as a national necessity. II
Great Britain goes on with volunteers.

of the commissioner personnel of the

BLACKLIST THAT
HUMANITY HAS EVER FACED"
Declaration Made at Meeting of the
American Sociological Society.

Washington, Dec. 2s.@~The pros
pect is one of the blacklist humanity
has ever faced" declared Professor
Edward A Ross. of the University of
Wisconsin. in discussion OF the pres
ent world session, during his presi-
Dental address here tonigh. TO the
American Sociological society. The
civilized peoples" said he, find them
selves confronting this situation: The
treaties between the great powers
guaranteeing the security of the lit
tie peoples have become mere scraps
Of paper: warfare has become a cap
italistic enterprise and fighting a skill
ed occupation. The armament a mil
itaristic government requires in sup
port of aggression may be secured I'M
der the pretext of being necessary for
national safety. Prudent preparations
of peace-loving people for defense
may be construed as designed for ag-
gression. The nation that out-arms
the others runs no risk and may be
rewarded for its preparedness by sue
cess in war. The nation that Tags be-
hind the rest in preparations for war
runs the risk of being thwarted or
beaten.
TT follows that the war-loving ma
tions have power to force the peace
loving nations into the gloomy path
of armament of war whereas the
peace-loving nations have no power TO
force the war-loving nations INTO the
paths Of peace. The men Of Mars set
the pace for the rest of the world. A
cool, relentless analysis of the situa-
ton discloses little ground for hope
full anticipation.
The only way of escape of the ad-
vanced nations from the ruinous re-
suits of their inevitable competition
for place and advantage in the back
ward parts of the globe lies in their
combining to create an organization
provided with the means of adjudicat-
ing disputes and enforcing awards

Richie was the aggressor at the

bout he appeared to have lost little

a left jab to the fact, but Lewis used
left and right hooks at will and his
fast footwork made 1t difficult for the
Californian to land an effective blow.
Lewis was unmarked at the conclu-
sion of the bout, but Richie, besides
having a cut over his right eye, bore
other evidences of the losing end of
a fast fight.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCK PRICES FELL.
Foreign Affairs Held Responsible For
Change in Market.

New York, Dec. 2S-Foreign af-
fairs, particularly the reported crisis
in the British cabinet, were held to be
mainly accountable for the pronounc-
ed change in speculative sentiment to-
day. Instead of the breadth and
higher prices that characterized yes
terday's extensive operations, there
was a succession of selling movements
with alternative feeble rallies. Many
recent gains were dissipated, United
States Steel again the leader, record
ing an extreme loss of 1 3-8 at 81 SIS,
from which it made only slight re-
coYery.
Anaconda Copper, whose directors
fulfilled popular expectations by in
creasing the quarterly dividend from
81 TO $3.50, was under steady pres
sure and other issues of that group,
notably American Smelling. denoted
substantial selling, regardless of an
other rise in copper metal of % Ia
cents for future delivery. Oil stocks
were very active and strong for a time,
Mexican Petroleum rising 2 p to the
| new price of ITO 1-2, but elsewhere
among the various high priced special
| ties and utilities the market seemed
to lack stability or actual support.
Rails, especially st. Paul and New
Haven, were steady to strong in the
forenoon but lost ground in common
with the entire list toward the close

weak, falling 7 points to IL on the

moderate trading occurred in the
morning, the movement being a drift

| at the close was heavy, all the activ-
! jty of the last half hour being at the
| expense Of quoted values. Total sales
| amounted to $4,000 shares.
| Anglc-Franch fives were again a re-
straining influence, although dealings
were relatively light. All quotations
