HUGHES ACCEPTS NOMINATION AND RESIGNS FROM BENCH

''The latest efforts have not availed
to recover h influence and prestige
so unfortunately sacrificed; and brave
words have been stripped of their
force by indecision.
al desire to see our diplomacy re-
stored to its best standards. and to
have these advanced: to have no sac
ridces of national interests to partisan
expediency; to have the first ability of
the country always at it's command,
here and abroad, in diplomatic inter-
course: to maintain firmly our rights
under our laws; insisting steadfastly
upon our rights as neutrals and fully
performing our International obliga-
lions; and by the clear correctness n
Justice of our position. and our mani
fest ability and disposition to sustain
them. to dignity our place among the
nations.
AZ stand for an Americanism which
knows no Interior purpose. for a pa
triotism which is single n complete.
Whether native or naturalized, of
whatever race or creed. we have but
one country. and We do not for an in
stant tolerate any divisions of allie
glance.
81 believe in making prompt provi-
sion to assure absolutely our national
security.
81 believe in preparedness, not only
entirely adequate for our defense with
respect to numbers and equipment in
both army and navy. but with all
t~horoughness to the end that in each
branch of the service there may be
the utmost efficiency under the most
competent administrative heads.
1--WE are devoted to the ideal of nom
orable peace. We wish to promote all
wise and practicable measures for the
just settlement of international dis
putes. In view of our abiding ideals.
there is no danger of militarism in
this country.
I'VE have no policy of aggressive
ness; no lust for territory: no zeal for
strife. 1t is in this spirit that we de-
mand adequate provision for national
defense and We condemn the inexcus-
able neglect that has bee shown in
this matter of first national impor-
lance.
1--WE must have the strength which
self-respect demands, the strength of
an efficient nation ready for every
emergency"

New Absorbent in Surgery.

One medical outcome of the war In
the discovery that sphagnum moss and
fine sawdust are excellent substitutes
for absorbent cotton as dressings for
wounds. The moss is the long-fibered
kind commonly found In swampy
places in this country that florists and
nurserymen use for protecting the
roots of plants during shipment. 1t
takes up moisture better than absorb
n cotton and does not grow sodden
so quickly. OF course both the moss
and the sawdust are sterilized before
they are used for dressings.-Youth's

FIRES UNDER CONTROL

San Francisco, Sept. l6.-The
forest fires in the Santa Cruz
mountains and in Sonoma coun-
ty are completely under control,
according to advices today from
San Jose and Santa Rosa, Cal.
Only in a few places are there
any evidences of fire, where
some logs are smouldering.
A watch is being maintained.
however, to prevent recurrence
of the Santa Cruz fire. AL
though this was stopped before
it reached the Rolph ranch, a
new outbreak would destroy this
place and again place the red
wood forest in jeopardy.
