INTERNATIONAL PEACE.
Plans to Secure II Have Been Tried
For Three Centuries.

Plans to Secure II Have Been Tried
For Three Centuries.
Admirable and farsighted plans for
securing a peaceful international order
have been before the world for 800
years. NJ. Emeric Cruce submitted his
plan, which included liberty OF com
merce throughout all the world, as
early as 1923. Following the peace OF
Utrecht, the Able de st. Pierre devel-
oped his plan, which included media
ton, arbitration and an interesting ad-
dition to the effect that any sovereign
who took up arms before the union OF
nations had declared war or who re-
fused to execute q regulation OF the
union or Judgment Of the senate was
to be declared an enemy OF European
society. The union was then to make
war upon him until he should be dis.
armed or until the regulation or judg-
ment should be executed.
Some twenty years earlier William
Penn had produced his quaint and real
ly extraordinary plan for the peace Of
Europe, in which he, too. proposed to
proceed by military power against any
sovereign who refused to submit his
claims to proposed diet, or parlia-
ment, OF Europe or who refused to
abide by and to perform any Judgment
Of such body.
All these plans, like those OF Rous-
seau, Bentham and Kant, which came
later, as well as William Ladds elab-
crate and carefully considered essay
on congress of nations, published In
1910, were brought into the world too
soon. They were the fine and noble
dreams Of seers which 1t Is taking civ
i!ized men three centuries and more to
begin effectively to realize.-New York

SAVED BY A CAMERA MAN.
How He Won a Lease of Life For Some
of Villas Victims.


During one of his earlier campaigns
Francisco Villa had an American
movie photographer, Burrud by name
attached TO his staff, who spent n
good deal Of his time taking pictures
of the excessively vain general him
self. Sometimes, however, Burrud was
called upon to undertake more siren
uous operations. The following story.
for instance, is told in Francis A. Col
Inns 1.-The Camera Man"
"Burrud was called outdoors uneX-
pectedly at sunrise one morning and
directed to report, with his camera, at
once to headquarters. When he arriv-
ed, coatless and breakfastless, before
Villas tent he was told that the gen
eral had decided to have some twenty
prisoners shot and wanted a moving
picture taken OF the execution The
prisoners, most OF them political mere
ly, were to be butchered to make a
moving picture scene.
"Burrud feigned to examine his cam
era closely and then explained to the
general that his films were bad and
that 1t would be impossible to take the
picture until new supply had arrived.
Villa was disguised to miss the enter
tainment, but the camera man insisted
that there was no use In making the
exposure, and the picture and the ex-
ecution were put off several days.
by the time the next supply Of films
arrived the general had fortunately
changed his mind and the men were
saved"

The Color Cure.

To cure smallpox was apparently Il
very simple matter In the good old
times. John OF Gaddeston, court doc
tor to Edward H., has recorded that
he got rid OF the disease by the simple
expedient Oh wrapping his patients in
red cloth. Let scarlet red be taken"
he says. land let him who is suffering
from smallpox be entirely wrapped In
it or in some other red cloth. l did
thus when the son Of the illustrious
king OF England suffered from small
pox. / took care that all about his bed
should be red. and that cure succeeded
very well."-London Taller.

Belgian Relief

New York, March l3.-Germany has
protested, unoffieially, against admin

northern France, This fact was reveal
ed today when Herbert c. Hoover, di-
rector general of the relief work sail

At the offices of the commission it
was explained that German authorities
had initmated they would rather have

ministered by citizens of some neutral
nation, in view of the international re-
latiOns of the United States and Ger

Hoover will arrange for Hollanders
to take over the work in this section.
He dropped the great new campaign
for funds recently launched in this
country and made hurried arrangements
for the trip abroad.

East Again Buying
Potatoes In Oregon

Portland, Or, March 13.-There has
been a resumption of buying in the po-
tato market, not only by coast inter
ests, but by eastern spectators, al
though but little change is indicated in
quotations.
1t developed during the day that
some of the big California spectators
who had been heavy purchaserds in
this district this season, had not been
storing their stock as generally believ-
ed, but were selling right along. This
interest is again in the market.
While extreme weakness is indicated
in the potato trade all through the
eastern states, some of this weakness
is said to be merely for the purpose of
forcing down values here.
While there has been more general
offering of potatoes by northwest grow
ers recently, since the price became
weak and depressed, still the offerings
are rnerally of small lots and the to-
tai holdings are comparatively small.
Along Front street there is small
increase in sales of potatoes, but pric-
es are unchanged.

WAS s1LvERToN MAN

Information has been received here
that Phillip Millen, the young man
killed by train near La Grande last
week, formerly lived at the home OF
Martin Hanson, near Silverton, and was
well known to many citizens here. He
left Silverton last summer to go east,
where he expected to remain permanent
ly. He has been in constant communi-
cation with members of G. &. Evens
family during his absence, and a letter
was received by some one in that family
after the young man lost his life. 1t
seems that he had mailed a letter stat.
ing that he was en- route to Silverton
and requested no answer, as he would
likely be here before letter could reach
his address Before the letter reached
its destination Millen, it is believed, fell
from train on which he was stealing Il
ride, and his body was mangled almost
beyond recognition. People who knew
the young mau are inclined to discredit
tho story thai he was stealing ride,
He is said to have been good worker
and always had money to pay his way.
Lester Sayre of Silverton, who was
engineer on the train that picked up the
remains, stated in letter to his parents
that Millen is supposed to have climbed
upon the train at La Grande and fell
off, meeting terrible death.-Tribune.

SIXTY SUBMARINES

Fleet---Other News

Washington, Mar. 13.-About 60 Ger
man submarines were captured and de-
stroyed between January l and Feb
ruary Is, according to reports reaching
here today, the first authoritative word
of the entente success in coping with
the undersea boats.
At this rate-an average of one and
one-half submarines day-the success
of the German submarines in the long
run is doubtful, it is believed here. No
information is available here as to the
number of U-boats Germany has, though
unofficial reports have claimed that she
had from 300 to 500
Experts think, however, that if the
entente can continue at the rate shown
between January l and February 10
and can improve thereon Germany will
soon feel the strain upon this weapon,
and that ultimately she will be forced
to give up its use.
