WANTS ]. S. TO ABIDE
BY TRIBUNAL s DECISION
Secretary Of American Peace Society
Comments on Ruling That Treaty
With Nicaragua Is Illegal.

Declaring that the United States is
morally bound to regard the United
states treaty with Nicaragua as ille-
GAL and claiming that the dissolution
OF the Central American Union threat
ems unless this is done. Arthur Deerin
Call. secretary of the American Peace
Society. In the course of a recent inter
view urged the United States to abide
by the decision Of the Central American
court OF justice. which has ruled that
the treaty is not within the law. Mr..
Call said in part:
THE Central American court OF justice
treaty with the United States, whereby
We have leased certain canal rights
through Nicaragua and the right to a
naval base on the Gulf Of Ponseca. is
illegal. Our action on this decision
may mean peace or disruption for Cen
trail America. Furthermore. it will de-
termtne our attitude toward the only
real international court In the world. a
court esta blished in 1907 upon the mi
tiative of President Roosevelt and
President Diaz of Mexico. Thus far the
State Department has failed to assume
any responsibility in the Nicaraguan
matter. apparently on the ground that
We are not officially a party to this
court. But the fact is that the juris-
diction Of the Central American court
resented in it. and by this fact there is
open to us method Of procedure by
which threatened war and disunion in
Central America may be avoided. This
is our opportunity. We can show to
the world that We respect the theory
OF international Justice which we have
been advocating for Europe, even in a
minor case. Will the State Department
take advantage Of it?'
Mr.. Call rehearsed the history Of the
five republics Of Central America, be-
gun as far back as 1924. All of them
were unsuccessful. until the United
States took hand in affairs and in

gress convenes. They include the

and Chicago also are to be appointed.
President and Mrs. Wilson passed
through New York city on their way from
Williamstown, Mass. to Washington.

there-long enough to proceed from

Pennsylvania railroad station. Both at
the landing place at 18th street and
the Hudson river and at the railroad
station crowds cheered the President.
The Presidents automobile became
stalled for a moment on a steep hill
above the Hudson river landing, and
several men pressed forward and shook
his hand. Just before his special train
left at 1884 pm. he appeared on the
back platform and shook hands with
several trainmen. One of them shouted:
Thanks for the eight-hour law" Mr..

Cabinet To Remain.

The sweet solace of cabinet port
folios for ex-Senators and the big
politicians who achieved distinction
in the recent campaign is not likely
to mature. President Wilson has
been coming to an understanding with
the different members of his official
family, and all the cabinet members
have been asked to remain. 1t is bare
ly possible that one or two of them
may voluntarily reture. However
cabinet officers are like other federal
officials--and Congressman once

that they seldom die, and never re-

Wilson has been one of the leaders in
the thought favoring the community
spirit, and she received strong COM

against the action of the school boards
in New York and Washington last
summer, because of their narrowing
policies, intended to limit the use of
schoolrooms as the public forum for
parents. Percy Mackaye delivered a
talk on the community drama at the
session presided over by Miss Wilson.

manner that will serve in the advance

Bills for Prohibition in the District
of Columbia; immigration with the
literary test included; and corrupt
practices measure, are occupying the
immediate attention of the United
States Senate The prohibition bill
is being urged at every opportunity
by Senator Sheppard, who is leading
the fight for the Democrats, and Sen
ator Kenyon for the Republicans. It's
regarded as very probable. A poll of
the two branches of Congress devel-
ops the fact, so it is claimed, that the
bill providing for limited prohibition
in the District of Columbia will be
passed if it can be brought to a vote.
There is small majority pledged to
the prohibition measure in both
branches of Congress, but there may
be enough members who would prefer
not to go on record, to prevent the
measure from coming to final vote.
The District of Columbia prohibition
bill aims to close the saloons, but it
will permit the use of liquor at ban
quets, and in private houses. Great
care has been taken by the prohibition
advocates to do nothing which will
deprive foreigners in the Diplomatic
Service from getting all the booze they
want for their own esta blishments or
served at the social functions which
they are accustomed to attend
