PEACE IS
ISSUE OF
THEHOUR
Every American Should
Keep Peace Question
Paramount
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 16.-"The task of
the American people is to keep one
single issue burning into the general
human consciousness: That the world
can and must find some other way
to settle differences Of opinion than by
| the slaughter of men and the starving
Of women and children" declared Ar
thur Capper, governor Of Kansas. here
today In an address before the annual
conference Of governors.
Never before has such an oppor-
tunity been presented to any nation
as comes to ours" Governor Capper
said. THE only danger is that we may
lose our unique opportunity through
the scattering Of our energies. through
becoming confused and ensnared in
the multitude OF considerations and
possibilities which the war brings to
the minds of thinking men and
women.
Let in the light and publicity will
cure the most of the worlds interna-
tional issues. No war can be waged
successfully without support Of pub
lie opinion"
Referring to the program Of the
projected league Of nations. Governor
Capper pointed out that the league
has in its proposed economic boycott a
weapon almost as powerful as war it
SELF Few nations could Withstand its
pressure for long" he said. Money,
the stock exchanges, the cables. the
wireless. the postal service. all are in
ternational forces without which no
nation could long make war. even If
it could provide it's own munitions and
provender. And If this should fail it is
not inconsistent with the highest
ideals Of peace to create a police force
to maintain or compel peace.
Whether we look upon this war as
inevitable or consider it as the re-
suit of the deliberate Vaccinations Of
scheming rulers. craSed by lust for
power, it is the duty of the same men
of the world to make this world trag-
human progress. Humanity must
gather up the fragments of the wreck
and must begin the work of recon-
struction upon a greater plan and
with a higher purpose than any plan
with which the world has ever built.
In the natural trend of events it
is highly probable that the United
States government will have a voice
in the negotiations of peace upon the
cessation of hostilities. Foremost
among the principles to be discussed
without prejudice to our standing as
arbitrators is the principle of a per-
manent peace. Retter that this war
with all its unspeakable frightfuIness
and suffering should continue for
years than that it should end with
an inconclusive peace-in an armed |
truce, with the contending nations !
nursing their old animosities and !
ready to resume hostilities upon the |
first provocation or excuse"

Neb. and later owner of Omaha prop
erty valued at $4,000. but now farm
laborer at California Junction. Iowa,
told = Jury in federal court here yes
terday how one Arizona wild horse
cost him $4,000.
He was a government witness in
the case against the United States
Livestock Co. and the Omaha Land
and Investment Co. for using the
malls to defraud in sales Of wild
horses in Coconino county. Arizona.
A million dollars, the government
alleges was obtained from the sales
Of wild horses, supposed to range a
county.
Allison testified he traded his Omaha
property for 500 wild horses and
spent $4,000 building corrals and en-
ploying horse wranglers to capture
the horses. After many weeks two
horses were captured. he said, but
one OF them died and he gave the 9TH
er to one of his cowboys. .
The one ! gave away" he declar-
ed. did not live up to specifications in

The deal was made through j. Sid

case, Allison said. Smith told him AL
lison testified "he could go ten miles
from Flagstaff on the range and see
all the wild horses he cared to see"
John Mcdonnell, Lake Arthur. La,
testified he traded q section OF land
valued at $1,000 for wild horses and
went to Flagstaff to capture them.
When he could find no horses. he said,
he telephoned J. Sidney Smith in
Omaha that something was wrong"
and Smith replied: Now John, there
are lot of knockers around Flagstaff.

mission Will Suggest Five

FINANCES IN fine SHAPE
Balance of $33, 1882 in the
Fund at Close of the
Fiscal Year

A game bag limit of five will be
recommended to the state legislature
this winter by the North Dakota game
board Of control, as a measure Of pro-
lection to the prairie chickens OF
North Dakota
The rapid disappearance of the
bird, which have brought to North
Dakota, year after year hordes OF
sportsmen from over the entire ma
ton. has brought about such an acute
condition that North Dakota sports
men are practically a unit in favor
of the reduction of the bag limit to
Just half the present limit, and they
also generally. approve of the game
boards recommendation for a delay
ed opening Of the season. ~-
Under the recommendations as now
outlined, the game board could fix
Sept. 20 as the time for the opening
Of the season. the hunting to be per-
miSted 30 days.
The fact that the present early
opening gives the birds little time in
which to mature. is the basis for this
action.
At one time. a closed season for
several years was seriously considered
by the game board Of control, but this
met with strenuous opposition from
