of the world. It must not deny to
small and dependant states that final
right of revolution that sometimes is
the only road to justice and freedom.
- 1t must be program that will
give the masses greater influence in
those decisions that plunge nations
into war; that is to say, a program I'M
der which the powers of autocracy and
absolute secret diplomacy cannot, over
night, rush a nation into war bfore the
citizenship of the nation has a chance
to express itself.
Must Meet All Glasses.
'5. It must be a program under
which the international machinery
that is created will afford a medium
through which all classes of society
can voice their judgment and register
their demands. We must not delude
ourselves into thinking that the inter-
national problem will be solved entire
ly by the establishment of an interna-
uonal court along traditional lines,
presided over by lawyers to pass judg-
ment upon violations of established
real causes of modern wars are not so
much violations of established law, as
they are conflicts over new problems
and new needs that have not yet be-
come part of international law.
Since such a court or league as
contemplated appears to be the in
evitable goal toward which the whole
evolution of law and government is
tending, the laboring men of this and
every other nation will feel it their duty
and privilege to lift their voice in
counsel at every step of the plans and
propaganda, in order to make more
certain the triumph of democratic
principles and methods in whatever
final form such an international insti-
tuition may take"

REDUCE DRINK EVIL
Weeks Convictions in England
and Wales, 1904 to $40.
Industrial Canteens Great Sue
cess, Says Board.

London, May 27.-The success of
the central control board in reducing
the drink evil in England, Scotland
and Wales since the boards Inaugural
ton in June, 1915, is striking as shown
in the second report made by its chair
man, Lord D'Abernon. The report
shows the efforts of the board have re-
suited in a reduction of the average
number of weeks convictions for
drunkenness in England and Wales
from 2,034 in 1914 to an average of
$40 for last March, the latest month
for which figures are available In
Scotland the average has been re-
duced from 1,424 in 1914 to 794 for
March.
The board has been especially ac
tive in looking after the great army
of munitions workers. To offset the
evil influence of the drinking places
usually patronized by the workers,
Industrial canteensS where substan-
tiaI and well cooked meals with light
refreshments can be obtained at rea-
sonable prices, were established. In
addition the law was enforced which
requires public houses to supply food
as well as liquors.
Lord D'Abernon reports the can
teens have proved a great success and
have contributed materially to the
checking of the excessive drinking and
the improvement of the health of the
workers.

General Gallieni SuccumbS Fol-
lowing Operation.
Is Popularity Known as 'SaviOr
of Paris"

Paris, May 27.-General Gallieni,
until recently French minister OF war,
and popularity known as the savior
of Pairs died at Versailles following
an operation for kidney trouble
Gallieni veteran of the Franco
Prussian war, was one of the most
brilliant members of the F'ranco-Prus-
sian staff His daring stroke against
the Germans early in the war not only
had much to do with saving Paris
from capture by the kaiser's armies
but marked a turning point in the
European struggle.
Advancing swiftly toward the
French capital, the Germans had
reached the northern outskirts where
General Monoury attacked the Ger
man flank under Won Kluck. The
Germans were reinforced and Manoury
in desperation appealed to General
Gallieni, who had been appointed mill
tary governor of Paris only a few
days before.
Quick Action Saved Day.
Gallieni moved swiftly. By tele-
phone he requisiuoned every taxicab
in Paris, loaded them with ZouaveS
from Tunis, who had just arrived in
Paris, and sent them to ManOury'S aid
Gallieni S taxicab army saved the day.
The Germans were then rolled back
and were beaten at the Marine.
General Gallieni was born in 1S49
and was of slender, wiry build. He
saw service and won honor in the
French colonial possessions in Africa.
He reached the age limit several years
ago but his service was especially eX-
tended. He became minister of war
October 20, 1915, and was succeeded
by General Roquez March Is. 1916,

Man Who Attempted Assault.

Manhattan, Kan, May pa tall
bearded man who attempted an as
sault upon Mrs. George Caster on. a
farm near Rocky Ford was frightened
away before he had accomplished his
purpose. He left Mrs. Caster tied to
tree, but she escaped and notified a.
neighbor. Farmers gathered and
searched the country, led by Sheriff
c. E. Schermerhorn of Riley county
and Sheriff Bert Kersey of Potta-
watomie county. No trace of the man
was found.
According to Mrs. Caster, the man
came to the house on the Washing
ton farm and demanded money.
When she told him she had no money
he grabbed her and tied her hands
with a heavy fishing cord. He then
dragged her out of the house and tied
her to tree. She escaped after fif-
teen minutes struggling and went to
the home of Ed Washington.
Officials of Pottawatomie county
are looking for the man. Mrs. Caster
is not in serious condition, although
