revolution. There is no telling what the
next few years may bring forth.
We Of this country are fortunate In

The nations must settle the proper

means of transportation shall not be
used for destruction.

Peace Plans Preceded War.

DIR. James Brown Scott, secretary of
the society, said that just before the
outbreak of the war the end desired by
those desiring to see the establishment
Of plan for permanent international
peace seemed to be within reach. The
third time at The Hague to make the
final agreements for the establishment
of the permanent court for the settle
ment of international disputes.
The opportunity was lost for the mo-
ment when the war broke out. he said,
but it would arise again in the future.
ut is inconceiva ble, he said. that
the peoples who have suffered from
this terrible war should desire them
selves to enter upon another such war,
or that they should wish their children
to do so.'' He said that he believed
an agency to settle International dis
putes would be established, once the
war had closed.
John Hays Hammond. who was on
the program to deliver an address, was

miralty cases. which grew out of the
claims of the various colonies to prizes
taken at sea- and disputes between
states over boundary lines made the
development of federal jurisdiction
necessary and inevitable, he said. He
told of the difficulty of enforcing the
early DEGREES of the federal courts,
when. as In one case in Pennsylvania.
a regiment of state troops was ordered
out to prevent the mandate of fed
eral court being carried into effect, and
actual strife was prevented only by
strategy. To-day" he said, the voice
of the Supreme Court is the harmony
of the Union. Liberty without law is
to imagine every man with sword in
his hand ready to destroy the weaker
man"

Observes Safety-First Rule.

Hing Lees first thought was that he
would not open his cash drawer, but
safety-frs feeling came over him
as he looked into the barrel Of the
gIistening weapon and his right hand
moved in the direction of the cash
drawer.
The drawer was opened and the man
in front of the counter helped himself
to it's contents. Thoroughly alarmed
by the sight of the pistol, Hing Lee
at first refrained from making an OUT
cry. When he had related his story
of the robbery to the police and the
latter left the laundry Hing took care
to see that the door of his establish

CAPITAL UNSU|TED
FOR ARM0R PLANT
Military Principles Will Bar
Site From Either Coast or
Location Near Border.
GENERAL BOARD REPORTS

The District of Columbia and Alex
Andria. Va, have practically been elm
mated as a choice for the site of the
governments $11.0o0.co0 armor plant.
This became known late yesterday
afternoon when the general board Of
the Navy Department made a report
On the subject of the choice of site to
Secretary Daniels. The elimination is
due to the general policy set forth by
the Army War College September IL,
1915. and with which the general
board states it is in full accord.
Policy Set Forth.
This policy Is set forth, as follows:
"As a general military principle. no
supply depot. arsenal. nor manufactur-
ing plant Of any considerable size. sup
ported by War Department appropria-
tions for military purposes. should be
Established or maintained east OF the
Appalachian mountains. west Of the
Cascade or Sierra Nevada mountains,
nor within 200 miles OF our Canadian or
Mexican borders. and steps should be
depots and manufacturing plants al
ready established In violation of this
military principle
Although expressing his deep and sim
eere regret that Washington had been
eliminated as choice for the plant,
r. T. Moran. president of the WASH
angton Chamber of Commerce., which
led in the fight to have the plant
brought here, last night stated his
great happiness because of the unity
which had marked the effort made by
citizens Of the District. He also said
he felt all citizens here would be CRATE
ful for the careful and mature constd-
Grafton which the general board had
given to Washington's case.
p: Gives Praise to Capital.
: IT am most grateful over the fact
that the people of Washington were so
unanimous In their support in the ef-
Tort to bring the plant to the District
pf Columbia" said President Moran last
night. Washington deserves great
praiee for the enthusiasm and energy
which was displayed in the fight to
bring this plant to Washington. 1t
shows US that the people will work
together for any proposition which
eeems deserving of the effort.
Washington is only In its infancy
with so much spirit and energy as have
been displayed in the fight for this
plant, we need have no fear as to the
future of the city. and when finally we
get the ballot here. as We must some
day, it will give US opportunity Tor
even greater efforts.
"lt would have meant much to the
city to have the armor plant brought
here. As patriotic American citizens
we are fully satisfied with the findings
OF the general board. however. The
members of this board are fully quail
ifed and competent for the work OF
selecting the site and although we
worked hard to bring the plant to
we feel certain that the city
upon which the board and the Secretary
OF the Navy finally decide will be the
one for the best interests of our great
republic We know that these men
have given Washfngton's case mature
and careful con SIDE ration. even as they
have Of all the many other cities work
ing for the plant"

IF we are to have democracy the
rule Of the people. we must have that
peace which is the reign of law, and
SO, in the effort to find a solution of
these problems. mems minds turn at
once, and instinctively, to that sort
Of body which represents law and OF
which In all the world our Supreme
Court is the most noted and practical
example. Questions between American
sovereign states that might lead to war
as the Supreme Court itself has said
are settled In it's decisions, and not or
ever thinks Of an appeal to arms. Why
not expand this benevolent pl--.,,-~ -.
the interest Of humanity to all other
sovereignties? We must introduce into
the world at large the conception OF
states AS agents OF the people and. like
them, subject to laws and justice.
MY own belief is that when the judg
ment Of a worlds court is pronounced. II
will, like the shot OF the embattled
farmers be heard round the world. And
woe to the man, even If he wear purple
who falls to obey its judgments"
Traces Origin Of Court.
Hampton L. Carson Of Philadelphia
traced the origin OF the Supreme Court
of the United States, declaring it to
be an evolution out Of the past. He
characterized the court which deals out
Justice to the forty-eight sovereign
states, ae the "grandest conception of
the Constitution" II this conception
can be extended to sovereign nations
Of the world. and a world court estab-
lished to do Justice between the ma
tions, It will be an inestimable benefit
to mankind he said.
Mr.. Carson discussed the establish
ment Of the early courts in the COL
onies. and the later courts established
during the war Of Independence, be-
fore D federal government had beer
established under the Constitution. Ads
