 NEW YORK. Oct. 15.-Peace for hu- manity and civilization-not one favor able alone to France or the United States. or the entente allies-but peace that will guarantee to the nations, large and small, universal respect for right and justice, is the goal toward which War-torn France is struggling, delegates attending the Southern Com mercial Congress Tn this city were told today by Stephane Lauzapne, editor of Le Matin of Paris.
 We have suffered much and expect to suffer still more" M. Lauzanne de- clared. We are fighting to save hu- manity from degradations, for human ity would be degraded if Germany won this war. France is in for all the war"
 Dr. Toyokichi Lyenaga, managing editor of the East and West News Bu- reau. criticized American and Japa nese yellow journalists and German propagandists who sought to weaken the bonds of friendship and trust which have ever bound Japan and the United States"
 For a decade Japan was a target of malicious attack by American yellow journalism-the sole target. might al most say-among foreign nations, until recently Japan's ally. England, came to her rescue and shared the uIenviable position he declared.
 The speaker said Japan no longer fears the calumnies that may be heaped upon her head by this method, for the government and sound opinion of America are at her pack
 Four governors were speakers to night at the governors conference held in connection with the Southern Com mercial Congress. Governor Richard l. Manning of South Carolina, presided al the conference which also was ad- dressed by Governors Emmerson (. Harrington of Maryland: Carl E. Milli- ken of Maine and Walter F. Edge of New Jersey: and John Barrett. director general of the pan American Union
 MT. Barrett declared that when the gar is concluded. there will come g realization that it has accomplished more than all the diplomatic notes of a century to make the Monroe doctrine an unquestionad nrinciple in the rela tionship of nations.
 "The new Pan America and new Pan -Americanism which will follow the war" said Mir. Barrett, will be so powerful in their own inherent strength and backing that never again can a new menace from the old rorld assert itself

 Reports up to the close of business Saturday night. according to the de- partments statement follows:
 New York. sSO9,O0O,000; Philadel- phia, S80.O00.00O; Boston, $73,00O,00O; Cleveland $72,000000; Chicago S60,000- 900; Kansas City $50,000,000; San Francisco. $310O0 0Q0; Richmond. S21,- S27000; Atlanta, 5000, 0O0 St. Louis, S3,7SS,000 and Dallas $3,175,9O0.
 "A flood of small subscriptions the statement continues, in the Boston, Cleveland and Chicago districts greatly increased their totals.
 Thirty-one thousand persons have bought bonds in Chicago, bringing the total for the city up to S13,742, $50. Approximately $50,000OO0 has been subscribed in the Kansas City district and the campaign is just getting under way. Omaha has subscribed s9,000,000: Tulsa s2,000000 and Topeka $500, ,000
 oklahoma City started its campaign today with 500 men and 200 women salesmen. .Wyoming's campaign is showing good results. Campaigns in the Atlanta and Minneapolis districts got well under way today Sixty thousand workers took the field in the Minneapolis district
 Dallas reported: Our people are gradually shaking off their Rip Van Wrinkle sleep and reports from now on will be more optimistic. though we have long way to go. Sales were slow in San Francisco, compared with the remarkable squirt made by the city last week. Official figures of the sum actually paid in subscriptions reported to the reserve banks were unobtailabc. Meantime the campaign has only ten more working days to go and approxi- mately 00,00o,00O must be raised if the s5,0OO. 100000 gal is reached
 This means total of $420, ,000,0 900 day"

 MARSHFIElD, Mo-, Oct, t5.- Claude Piersol was found guilty of Kidnapping Lloyd Rect by the jury at t0:25 o'clock tonight. He was sentenced to 35 years imprison- ment.
 Counsel for the defense immedia- tely filed a motion for new trial which will be acted on in Novem- Der.
 Aside from slight quiverins of his chin, the youthful defendant ac- cepted the verdict in the same calm manner he has shown throughout the trial.
 MT. and Mrs. J. Holland Rect, parents of the kidnapped infant, were in the court room when the verdict was rendered as were the parents and sister of Piersol.
 The jury was virtually agreed from the first that Piersol was guilty. The first ballot, test vote stood at ii to 1 for conviction, it was said, and on the second ballot the jurors were unaniomus. The arguments which ensued were the question of sentence solely, 1t was said, the jurors differing from ten years to 110 years.
 After an hour of debate the jurors compromised on the 35 years sentence.

ceipts have been much higher but oper- ating expenses have outstripped the increase.
 Southern roads, whose net revenues have been rising as those of eastern and western roads fell have taken no step looking toward another applca- tion, so far as officials here know. but 1t is considered likely that they will join the others.
 At Wednesdays conference, a tenta- tive, informal proposal is expected from the executives of eastern roads. It so happens that this conference will be held at time when many state rail- road commissioners will~be in the city and officials regard it as virtually cer- tain that representatives of the state commissioners will attend the meeting to protest against any general advance in rates.

Holland to the United Kingdom shall be pro-rated. It is assumed that the remainder not sent to England goes into Germany
 It is provided that the United King dom shall get half the total exports of pig meat; one-quarter of the butter. one-third of the cheese and two-thirds of the milk. Not less than one-half the total exports of meat from Holland to belligerent countries must go to the United Kingdom.

 Great Britain by the agreement has the right to at least one-half the total exports of potatoes and one-half of the potato flour, which includes sago and pudding powder and obtains one-qIar- ter of the exports of fruit and vese- tables and one quarter of all the eggs.

FOUR MINUTE MEN K|WAN|S AND ALI
 CITY FUR LIBERTY

George J. Stoneman, head of the Four Minute Men," yesterday re- ceived from W G. McAdoo. secretary of the treasury, a telegram appealing to do it's utmost to further the cause of the Liberty lean, which seems to be tagging in this state. The secretary of the treasury wired:
 'The Four Minute Men are a mighty and potential influence in the success of the Liberty loan. They did an i'm mensely valuable and patriotic service in the first Liberty loan and 1 count with genuine satisfaction upon their enthusiastic support and service in placing the second Liberty loan. God speed every Four Minute Man in this noble work.
 "W. G. MADOO"
 Spurred on by this request, the Four Minute Men" will make the Liberty loan their topic ia the theaters this week and expect to get results from their campaign.
 This noon the Kiwanis club will de vote it's session and work to the Lib erty loan campaign. The club plans to get concrete results and the promi- rent business men who belong believe 
 of the cause they will advocate
 October 24 having been especially set apart by President Wilson as Lib ertv Loan Day." it is planned to have a big meeting here on that occasion and the success of the day is already assured through the fact that Vice President Marshall has agreed to be one of the speakers upon the program This will undoubtedly be the biggest rally of the entire drive.
 Copies of the Liberty Bond Primer" telling all about the bonds have been received at the Liberty loan head. quarters and may be obtained there They give most interesting informa tion about the loan and will prove in- valuable to workers
 Window dressers of the city held a meeting yesterday and agreed to stim- ulate interest in the drive by window decorations. They have organized by selecting MT Wilson of Hyder's as chairman, and those who wish expert assistance in trimming windows to boost for the great loan can secure advice by letting the Liberty loan eadauarters know of the desire.
 Some idea of what must be done in this state is secured from the fact that during the last loan one subscriber for eleven people Tn the cltN was secured. In New York the record was one for every nine and the whole country over the average was one cut of 26. This time Phoenix must secure one out of every five as subscriber which means lot of work and a house-to- house canvass.
 Phoenix and 5000 subscribers is the rallying cry for the campaign locally.

 A solicitor for the local Liberty loan committee yesterday entered the tailor shop of Leo M. Schaeffer at 20 West Adams street and found nine tailors at work in the rear room of the shop. After g few minutes effort the solicitor was able to dispose of one bond to each of seven of the tailors.

Up in the Air

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Oct. 1j.-William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury. and Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, who is travelling with MT. McAdoo on his Liberty loan campaign tour had their first experience in flying today. Both said it would not be forgotten soon.
 Inc two were taken up in machines from Rockwell Field where the signal corps aviation school is situated. MT. McAdoo went as passenger with Major Henry J. Damn, flying an aeroplane to height of 5000 feet. He said he enjoyed every minute of it.
 Admiral Grayson went up with Lieu tenant Robert Mairesse of the French flying corps. When their aeroplane had reached a height of about 5000 feet the admiral thought he had spent enough time aloft and unable to make the French flyer hear him, so great was the noise of the motor. he touched the aviator's shoulder and pointed down. The lieutenant, supposing that his passenger wanted to get down without waste of time, went into a per feet nose dive of nearly mile, land ing as lightly as feather
 While at the North Island aviation camp, Secretary McAdoo spoke briefly to the men there on the soldiers and sailors insurance bill, explaining it's provisions.
 This afternoon the party went to Camp Kearney, where the secretary spoke to several thousand guardsmen, now in the national army.
