self and to tho other nations OF the world
In establishing firmly the principles Of
neutrality
MR. HUGHESS POSITION
To those with whom he talked on the
subject. Governor Hughes has added TO this
statement of position tho following:
America must leave no stone unturned TO
enforce against any nation her rights as
world Power. BY so doing, tho United
states not only maintains her own dignity
as a nation, but she establishes more firmly
the principles of justice contained in inter-
national law. International law, the Gov
ernor holds. is not a fixed code. II is a
collection OF principles TO which nations
subscribe. Thoee principles become fixed
only when some great nation establishes
their justice and fairness by demand, un-
ninchingly maintained for their fullest
observance. II the United States can ac-
compllsh this hxatlon of principles of In
ternational law by holding all nations
strictly accountable TO the spirit of the now
only nebulous principles of international
law, America will have her opportunity to
become foremost among world Powers.
REsENTs "JoCKEYING"
The Republican candidate, II is said for
him. feels very strongly the delicacy OF his
position as n presidential candidate in this
time when international law is I'm the max.
ing. He Is extremely resentful OF any
jockeying by either his friends or his polit.
cal foes. which Attempts to align him with
either the Allies or the Central Powers. He
doe not desire In any utterance to mention
the name Of single one OF the warning
Powers, lest some incorrect deduction be
made from that mention But in evary
speech from now on he expects to reitkr.
ate in emphatic language his disavowtl
that he has any understanding or agree

COPENHAGEN, oct liking Otto Of
Bavaria, a mad king" died suddenly at
the Castle of Feurstenried. where he has
been confined, insane, for many years
The mad king Of Bavaria, about
seventy years old at the time OF his death,
startled Europe by his eccentricities oe-
fore he was declared incapable of ruling
on November s, 1918, and succeeded by his
cousin, King Ludwig III.
He had nomnally succeeded his brother.
King Ludwig ii, in 1886, when Ludwig
committed suicide by throwing himself into
a lake during a NJ Of insanity His uncle,
the regent Leopold, was however, the real
ruler OF Bavaria.
During the Francc-Prussian war Otto
FIRST showed insanity when he called out a
squad Of cavalry to make charge against
a straight stone wall. The stone wall. he
said, was a body of French infantry. Later
he was summoned by the Kaiser TO head
quarters and It was reported letters were
found In his possession offering TO make
peace with France. He was then put under

would refuse food imagining II to be

to accept
LANNIN TO FIGHT
1t is whispered, that Lannin will fight
any move by johnson TO oust him from
Boston. but II viii be remembered that Just
after the 1912 series. when the Red Sox
won the worlds championship by defeating
the Giants, Jimmy McAleer was forced TO
sell the Boston franchise because of the
ticket scandal.
At the time McAleer also declared that
he would fight johnson to the limit, but Il
appears that there is some arrangement
In the American League which makes John
son absolute boss. Johnson has been called
the "Czar" of baseball because of the
manner In which he has bossed the Ameri-
can League, and those on the inside de-
clare that he will get away with his plan
to oust Lannin.
