INTERNATIONAL FREEDOM

THE Presidents second inaugural, de-
livered at noon today. is a declara-
ton of international freedom which is
likely to rank in world affairs along with
the famous Declaration Of Independence
with which this nation justified its crea-
tion. II will so rank II the American
people join as one man in its defense
and in persuadng the other nations OF
the world TO subscribe to IL.
These are the things which Mr., Wilson
says we stand for whether in war or
in peace;
That all nations are equally in.
terested in the peace Of the world and
in the political stability OF free peo'
pies and equally responsible for their
maintenance.
That the essential principle of
peace is the actual equality OF nations
in all matters Of right or privilege.
That peace cannot securely or
Justly rest upon an armed balance OF
power.
That Governments derive all their
Just powers from the consent OF the
governed and that no other powers
should be supported by the common
thought, purpose or power ofsthe fam
lily of nations.
That the seas should he equally
free and safe for the use Of all peo'
pies. under rules set up by common
agreement and consent. and that. so
far as practicable. they should he ac.
cesslble to all upon equal terms.
That national armaments should be
limited to the necessities OF national
order and domestic safety.
That the community Of interest and
Of power upon which peace must
henceforth depend imposes upon each
nation the duty Of seeing TO II that
all Influences proceeding from its own
citizens meant TO encourage or assist
revolution in other states should be
sternIv, and enectually suppressed
and prevented
We do stand for these things, without
the slightest shadow Of doubt. When the
other nations agree to them In practice
as well as in theory war will be less
common than It is today and such
war as IL now devastating Europe will
be impossible.
The essence OF the wnOle program Is
contained in the formula that interna
tional relations must be regulated by JUS
tice and not by armed might.
The seven declarations Of the address
elaborate the plan for permanent peace
which the President suggested In ms
speech to the Senate few weeks age
when he proposed peace without VIC
tory. But they go farther than the settle
mcnt Of the present international dispute
because they mark the road to a better
international understanding and the only
road over which that goal can be reached

SIXTY THOUSAND ARE
HOMELESS IN SALONIK1

LONDON, Sept. 6.-The first de-
tails ofthe disastrous fire at Saloniki
last Sunday is contained in a Reuter-
dispatch from that city which says
so, 900 persons are homeless and that
the property loss is enormous. Insur-
ance companies are interested to the
extent of 100000 to 100000
pounds.
The military rendered all possible
aid but the scarcity Of water made it
almost hopeless to attempt to subdue
the flames. Refugees are camping on
the outskirts of the town. The desti-
tute are being cared for by the en-
tente military authorities, the Brit
ish having 10000 in their charge.
Food and fresh water are very scarse.
The whole sea front from the GUS

COST Is
CENTS APIECE NOW

BELLINGHAM, Wash, Sept. g.
Although there has been a marked
increase during the past week in the
number of humpback salmon taken
at the salmon banks and In the traps
of Puget Sound, prices have scared
to an Unprecedented height. The run
of "humpies" is by no means as large
as it was four years ago, but prom
Uses to be a life saver for many of
the Gamers and trapmen, even tho
the price last week ranged from 20
to 80 cents, with an average of 25
cents for each fish sold. Usually
humpbacks can be bought for cents
each.
Most of the smaller canneries are
being run almost to normal capacity
as result of the run of humpbacks,
although the larger plants are not
getting nearly enough fish to keep
them busy. Just how long the run
will continue cannot be forecast, aud
that is the question which will de-
eide whether the Gamers will break
even or lose money.
With humpbacks at record price,
sockeyes continue to climb in the
same ratio. Last week they were be-
ing sold for IS cents apiece in the
straits. The proportion Of sockeyes
was about one-fourth of the entire
take, the remainder being mostly
humpbacks, with few springs and
fewer silvers. The run of silver sal
mon is expected to start in about two
weeks, but Gamers are holding out
little hope that it will tend much to
improve the situation. The appear.
ance of the humpbacks is taken to
mean that the sockeye run-small as
1t was-is over.
Although the price Of live fish is
exceptionally high, the Sound pack
ers hope to break even and make
small profit. The prices of canned fish
this fall will be higher than ever be-
fore.

Philadelphia section late today. re-

were seriously beaten in the fight, in
which 200 participated, were taken
to a hospital. The disturbance arose
when several negroes threw missiles
at national guardsmen delivering re-
cruiting speeches from an automobile
