ARMED PEACE 4 FAILURE
Baron Rosen Thinks War VIII
Change International Politics

/ Change International foiitlcS :
A correspondent writing from Pet
irosrad says:
! It is the opinion of Baron Roman
Rosen that the war should lead Il
an entirely new conception of inter
national political relations, Armed
peace, he points out, has been fail
ure, and it viii be. necessary tc
evolve a new theory for the purpose
of maintaining the political equilib,
rum Of Europe.
Baron Rosen formerly was Rus
sian Ambassador To the United
States and served as one Of the
Russian ENJOYS at the Portsmouth
Peace Conference. lie is now mem-
ber of the upper house of the Rus
sian Parliment.
THE portentious and calamitous
events We are witnessing" said the
baron, SHOULD it seems. impress civ
ilized mankind with the necessity Of
organizing the life Of the community
of nations upon different basis.
1t can hardly be denied that the
much yaunted equilibrium based on
the grouping of the Great Powers of
Europe in two irreconcilihly hostile
camps has lamentably failed. In
stead of being, as was claimed for
it. the surest safeguard Of the peace
Of Europe, it has proved the cause
of constant emulation between the
opposing groups OF powers IN the
growing formidable armaments, and
has finally led to one of the powers
restoring ro the crImIna
folly of war"
Baron Rosen reflected the view.
point that the war was the revolt OF
mankind against the idea thai
might goes before right.
This is why the sympathy OF tne
world seems to be on the side of the
allies" ne continued" ''No German
dreams of begrudging the German
people the place in the sun that =
theirs by birthrieht among the great
nations Of footing Of equality, hut
the world will never submit to the
hegemony of the mailed fist
''No one doubts the patriotism or;
the Germans on the:E determination
to fight as long as their resources
last. Still, the amount of suffering
which the war entails, not only on
the be!ligerents but also on the rest
Of the civilized world, is bound tc
grow from month to month as the
war continues. Thercfre it would
seem to be to the interest OF all con-
cerned and most of all perhaps Of
the German people themselves to
bring the war to conclusion as soon
as possible.
"The surest way of reaching such
Il result would be to bring about
general coalition such as crushed the
power Of the first Napoleon, still leav-
ing France intact :ands@an honored
member Of the family Of nations.
Failing this. however, a league OF
ncutrals, especially if it he headed by
the United States, might bring to
bear upon Germany moral pressure
sufficient to make her realize the fut-
Iitv of continuing struggle that GER
tainly could never lead to realiza-
tion of her ambitions. y

Prussia was regarded as important
from a legal point of view. Under
that treaty American ships are given
the right to unrestricted freedom OF
the seas in times of war and even If
carrying ~contraband, including NUM-
tons of war, the ships of cargoes can
not be confiscated but may be detained
and the cargo "requisitioned" in which
event all. .~contraband or ~noncontra-
band taken must be paid for ire
spective of it's destination.
Officials Are Silent
White House officials adopted the
policy of silence They felt h a n
discussion of the situation at this time
would be useless and inopportune in
asmuch as the question is now before
the Berlin government.
The cabinet met to-day In a regu-
lar session but no further action was
contemplated pending the receipt of
Germany's reply. The President took
a short automobile ride before the
cabinet meeting and will leave late to-
night on the yacht Mayflower for New
York to review the Atlantic fleet there
next week.
During the trip. which will last
nearly a week, the President will be
kept in touch with every development
in the situation but only important
matters will be placed before him.
He has declined many invitations to
events in New York not connected
with the review of the fleet.

Governor Brumbaugh to-day APP
proved the Catlin Senate bill amend
ing the third class city law so that
when a candidate for mayor receives
hfty-one per cent. of the vote cast at

shall be printed at the head of the
group on the ballot and he hall be
held to be elected unless defeated by
a candidate whose name shall be in
serted by sbickers or written on the
ballot.
The Governor also approved these
Senate bills:
Amending third class city law so
that a city may be erected out of two
or more boroughs or townships in two
or more contiguous counties. This
would enable Bethlehem and South
Bethlehem to consolidate into a city.
Authorizing companies incorporat-
ed in other States to erect buildings
and hold real estate for manufacture
ing purposes.
Regulating appeals from auditors
reports in second, third and fourth
class school districts.
Regulating boring of holes for blast
ing in soft coal mines.
Authorizing A. X. Cassel, former
special agent of The dairy and food
division, to sue the State for money
alleged to be due for services
These House bills were approved:
Validating contracts of foreign cor
porations made prior to the act OF
1911 regulating business of such cor
~porations.

nate clerks to do such official acts

Extending powers of second class
cities TO regulate storage of explosives
and to conduct Investigations.
Three Bills Vetoed
Three bills were vetoed by Governor
Brumbaugh to-day.
The Habgood House bill making an
20 years practice eligible
to election as district attorney was dis
approved with these words: "A dis
tilCl dltoiuSN Is q very important
agent. His duties vitality affect the
welfare of the people. 1t is a question
able matter to intrust to one having
such slight contact by experience with
the machinery of justice to hold an
office so important. To lessen the
qualifications for this Office is a step
backward which il is unwise Ia take"
The Patton Senate bill relative to
appeals from assessments for taxation
was vetoed because it would work no
good to the people"
The Schantz Senate bill extending
terms of borough solicitors was dis
approved because the Governor sees
no reason why there should be a
change as the solicitors are elected by
council and not by the people and the
whole matter is properly within the
control OF council"

HOWTOPREVENT
ACID STOMACHS AND.
EXPERIMENTATION
By a stomach specIauIst

As A specialist who has spent many
years in the study and treatment of
stomach troubles, l AVE been forced to
the conclusion that most people who
complain of stomach trouble possess
stomaohs that are absolutely healthy
and normal. The real trouble, that
which cause all the pain and difficulty,
is excessive acid in the stomach ag-
gravated by food fermentation. Hyper
aeidity irritates the delicate lining of
the stomach and food fermentation
causes wind which distends the stomach
abnormally, causing that full bloated
feeling. Thus boil acid and fermenta-
tion interfere with and retard the pro-
CESS of digestion. The stomach il nsu-
ally healthy and normal, but irritated
almost past endurance by these for
eign elements-acid and wind. In all
such cases-and they comprise over 90
per cent. Of all stomach difficulties
the first and only. step necessary is to
neutralize the acid and stop the fer
mentation by taking in, a little warm
or cold water Immediately after eating,
from one to two ~teaspoonfuls of bisur-
ated magnesia, which is doubtless the
best and only really effective antacid
and food corrective known. The acid
will be netralized and the fermentation
stopped almost instantly. and your
stomach Will at once proceed TO digest
the food in a healthy. normal manner.
BE sure to ask your druggist for the
l~hisurated magnesia, as | have found
lQ4her forms utterly lacking in its pecu-
lIiariv valuable properties-F. j. G-
advertisement.

was called to the attention of Coroner
Eckinger.
Il don't think that is true" said the
coroner. AT least. Mr.. Chambers told
me that he was licensed to drive a
car"
At the automobile division of the
State Highway Department it was said
that no license had been issued to
Chambers prior to April %. but that it
is altogether probable that his license
was taken out since that date and is
not yet listed in the department.
Hospital Fails to Keep Record
A startling feature of the accident
is the fact that it is not known who
brought Chambers to the Harrisburg
Hospital. Attendants there say tina
two men brought him to the insti-
tuition, but say they have no record of
their names.
