GREY WELCOMES AN
 ANTI-WAR LEAGUE
Peace Must Be Upheld by Force,
 ViSCount Says

London, Oct. 24-The allies well l come efforts by neutrals for a com- 1 bination to prevent future wars. This 1 was made plain by Viscount Grey, se cretary for foreign affairs, in a 1 speech yesterday before the Foreign Press asso citation. Diplomatic repre- sentatives of all the allied countries were present.
 T believe the best work neutrals can do for the moment is to try to prevent a war like this from hap pening again. If the nations had been united in such an agreement and rrompt resolution to insist in 1914 that the dispute must be referred to a conference or The Hague, that the Belgian treaty must be observed, there would have been no war;" he said.
 Nations fighting for their exis- tence, with daily increasing prospects of seeing victory brought nearer, still knowing that if they stop short of victory they stop short of everything for which they are struggling, cannot be expected to spend much time thinking about what might happen after victory is secured. But the neu- trals can do it.
 "I observe that not only President Wilson, but MT. Hughes, is support ing a league started. not with the object of interfering with the bel ligerents in this war, but which will Go it's part in making peace secure in the future.
 Force Must Be Factor.
 'It is a work of neutral countries to which we should all look with fa- yor and hope. Only. we must bear this in mind; if the nation after the war are able to do something ef- fective by binding themselves with the common object of preserving peace, they must be prepared to un- dertake not more than they are able to uphold by force, and to see, when the time of crisis comes, that it is upheld by force.
 ''The question we must ask them is this: will yol, play up when the time comes It is not merely the sign manual of presidents and sovereigns that is really to make this worth while; it must also have behind it parliaments and national sentiments.
 Suppose the conditions of 1914 oc- cur again and there is such a league in existence, everything will depend on whether national sentiment behind it is so permeated by the lessons of this war as to compel each nation, as matter of vital interest, to keep peace other than by force.'

"STRAWS" FOR WILSON
Polls by New York Herald and New York American Give Connecticut to Democrats

The old saying that "straws show which way the wind blows" is exem- plificd in two straw ballots, taken in Connecticut by two New York news papers. The ballots were taken en- tfely independently, but the results are the same.
 The papers collecting the vote are the New York Herald and New York American, both strongly pro-Hughes. And their ballots are just as strongly pro- Wilson in result.
 The Herald's poll, the more ex- tended and thorough of the two, has gone into every kind of Connecticut community and sampled every class. Here is the result today:

I. R. ALL HEI UP
Scores Baker for Comparing Wash ington to Villa and Also Wilson for Not Removing Him.

Not Removing Him.
 Albuquerque, N M., Oct. 24.- Theodore Roosevelt, speaking yester- day, denounced Secretary of War Baker for the Iatter's reported com parison of Washington's soldiers with Mexican revolutionists and criticized the president for putting Secretary Baker in the cabinet in the first place and for keeping him there after the reported comparison. tThis compar- ison of Mr. Bakers, acquiesced in by the silence of MT. Wilson," said Col. Roosevelt, shows that MT. Wilson in his heart believes that Washington was no better than Villa or Carranza; that the men of the revolution stood on a level with the miscreant crew who during the last three years and a half in Mexico have murdered Am9ricans by the hundreds and Mexicans by the tens of thousands. These men have perpetrated every species of outrage upon women and children and have turned all Mexico into a hell of starvation, disease and misery; they have done this with the active or passive assistance of the American government under the lead ership of MT. Wilson, and his cabinet officer now defends them by the foul estSslander on the men who made that the man who professed such doctrines was "wholly unfit to stay in the cabinet and the president who re- tained him was wholly unfit to re- main president of the United States"
New Britain herald., 1916-10-24

voters showed by their previous vote (ndicated on the card) that the progressives are choosing Wilson over Hughes in the proportion of two to one. The new voters are for Wilson in exactly the same ratio-twelve casting their first ballot for Wilson, to six for Hughes.

THE CASE OF TWO TEACHERS.

With frankness which puts the case very squarey
and without equivocation, Superintendent of Public
Instruction Kinney tells the Kauai Chamber of Com
merce why Mr.. and Mrs. III. G. Brown of Wainea
failed Of reappontment
The gst of the several reasons is that of insubor
dinafion to orders which certainly appear reasonable
Mr. and Mrs. Brown have, moreover, says Superin-
tendent Kinney, rendered themselves needlessly
troublesome to their superior officers variety Of
ways.
OF Mr. and Mrs Browns side of the controversy
the Bulletin knows nothing 1t is quite plain,
even if they have some cause for objection to the de-
partments orders that they are not working in with
the departments policy. If is quite plain that they
are not respecting the constituted authority of the
department Their retention under such circum-
stances would be mistake.
Now that Superintendent Kinney has set forth the
for failure to reappont the two teachers they
may make what answer they wish. But the general
theory Of the department of public instruction or any
other department of any government must remain
the same-that teamwork. discipline and subordina-
ton to authority are essential efficiency and
cess. Unless Mf. and Mrs. Brown are able to show
that an absolute unquestioned injustice has been done
Them Superintendent Kinneys answer ought to close
the controversy with the statement of suborarndfion
to proper authority which the public nay well bear
in mind The issue is broader thaptnat of Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown.
