DESERTED PEACE TEMPLE.
Ghost OF DesolatiOn Stalking Through
Hague Arbitration Home.

Kansas City Journal: The ghost OF
desolation is stalking through the halls
of the Temple of Peace. which was
opened AT The Hague on August 80
1913, and which was TO be the home OF
the permanent court of arbitration. IL
is the irony of fate that less than year
after its opening the greatest, bloodiest
and most destructive war in the history
of the world was let loose. 1t may be
that this Temple of Peace has been
made ready for the arbitration of the in
ternational disputes of the future, but
at present the only signs of peace about
the building are the nests which the
birds have built under its caves.
Alphabetically the edifice is among
the finest in the Dutch CAPITAL. The
palace, built with money donated by An
drew Carnegie, is an outgrowth of the
movement begun in 1899, when the for
mer car of Russia invited representa-
tives of all nations to meet at The
Hague and frame plan for permanent
international court of arbitration. Forty
two nations were represented in the trib-
unal until the outbreak of the war. 1t
was the mission of this tribunal TO set
tie by arbitration the international dis
p,ites which II was impossible to settle
by diplomacy. Several cases were passed
upon by the court. when the war put
an end TO it's activities

TWENTY MILES AN HOUR.

The National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce reports that forty per
cent of the automobiles sold this year
have been bought by farmers. Iowa for
the first six months of this year had
one motor vehicle to every nine per-
sons, an increase of forty per cent over
1916 Nebraska had one to every ten
persons, California one to every twelve,
Kansas and South Dakota one to every
thirteen, Minnesota and North Dakota
one TO every fourteen.
The farmer is prosperous. He can
afford to buy the cars. But why has
he taken TO them mare quickly and
universally than city folk, in spite of
the traditional rural conservatism?
The answer is that the automobile is
particularly adapted to the farmers
use-that 1t has supplied the greatest
need OF the rural community.
The trouble with the country from
time immemorial. says writer In the
New York times. was three-miles-an-
hour transportation. This rate lin

bound on the number of people one
would meet in the course Of lifetime.
Twelve miles is long drive by horse
and buggy. and that was about the ra-
dius of the farm family's social life.
The actual neighborhood was restricted
TO about four miles from home. Six

GERMAN PRISONERS FARE
WELL AT DETENTION CAMP

Atlanta. Ga, October The Ger
man prisoners interned at Fort Nc
Pherson near Atlanta are faring fine
thank you, as discovered by an Off
cial delegation representing the Swiss
Embassy in Washington who inspect
ed the prison camp yesterday after
noon.
The prisoners are quartered in new
houses exactly like those occupied by
student officers in the first training
camp held at Fort Mcpherson. THEFT
fare is the best that money can buy.
A brewery wagon makes a regular
daily trip to the post exchange store
at the edge OF the camp and leaves
several barrels of imitation beer which
the Germans probably turn into an ap-
proach to the real thing by the addi-
ton OF the requisite percentage of al
cahol. The prisoners are allowed to
make little trinkets with their wood
carving knives and sell them at the
store. Customers flock there to buy
them.
In addition to these privileges, the
Germans have stringed orchestra
concert every Sunday afternoon which
IS usually attended by large and
appreciative audience of Atlanta mu-
sic lovers.
Taking it all in all, the Germans are
better off than they would be in any
other place in the world.
