BY VISCOUNT GREY

DERLlN, NOV o (by>~ireless to Say
~ ville). Chancellor Won Beth
mann HollweR announced today that
after the ending Of the war Germany
would cooperate In an endeavor to
find practical means for procuring
a lasting peace by means of an inter
national league.
The attitude OF Germany In regard
to the proposal for an International
union to enforce peace was made
known before the main committee OF
the reichstag. The semiofficial over
seas News agency explains that the
chancellor's speech was in reply to a
statement OF Niscount Grey of Eng
land, in which the british foreign sec
retary said the origin Of the war must
influence peace conditions and that
Germany would be entitled to ask for
guarantees against future attacks II
the present war really were forced
upon Germany. The chancellor re-
viewed the historical facts of the mo-
bili2ations Of 1914 and asserted:
THE action which made the war
unavoidable was the Russian mobili-
zation ordered on the night of July
3O-31."
Referring to the question OF an In
tcrnational league for the preserva.
ton OF peace the chancellor said:
I'VE never concealed our doubts
whether peace could he guaranteed

cations such as arbitration courts. !

Warrington and Digs had occupied
room together through the night. and on
naothsr occasion They had spent the night
together IN i. hotel 1T san Jose In con
heeuon with testimony OF this character,
the Court ruled thar as far as the Mann
act was concerned. the previous character
or escapades OF the girls was entirely I'm.
material.
The trial lasted several days. and the
jury was ont four hours before they
agreed upon verdict Of guilty.
When Caminetti was sentenced Judge
Van Fleet discussed the wide applica.
billty Of the Mann law
This was crime OF opportunity" he
said. Il mean that the laxity Of social
conditions and the lack OF parental CON
troll made II possible. wish to say that
all through the case there is evidence that
drink had its paralyzing influence upon
the morals and the minds OF these men
and the young girls with whom they
went on that trip to Reno.
The terribly debasing influence Of the
saloon and the roadhouse is too DISCUS
tinsiy apparent. and make the ohserva-
ton here that society must pay the price
for permitting the existence OF these
highly objectionable places
This does not help me to e1culpate
these defendants. agree with the plea
OF counsel that the degree Of the offense
committed by these men or the Court can
ne permitted to refer to degrees OF this
crime where the Mann act fails toy Is not
as grave as In the cases where men trans-
port women from one State to another
for purposes Of gain.
THE act did not originally contemplate
cases Of this character. nor was 1t the in.
tention OF Congressman Mann, as OK
pressed to the Congressional Committee
in explaining the original bill, that 1t
should.
But Congress. in passing the bill added
that any transportation for any immoral
acl where the woman transported was
OPENLY exposed to debauchery should be
unlawful. and this brought these cases
within the purview OF the statute. Con-
greSs failed to alter the last portion Of the
act, which gave the statute its common
nhmc--ths White Slave Traffic Act'--and
In so failing left the means by which the
general misunderstanding and misinter-
probation Of the law have come about"
lf Manry DiGgs is granted a new trial
by the United States Supreme Court can
the Government convict him again now
that the white slave he led astray can
seek the privilege Of a wife and refuse to
tell the story of her misfortune?
And If This very thing happens, will
Congress amend the Mann law SO that
this door of escape will be closed to future
white sarcrs who may seek to hide be-
hind the protecting skirts OF their white
