tercourse of nations is an essential
part of the process of peace and of
development. 1t need not be difficult
to define or to secure the freedom of
the seas if the governments of the
world sincerely desire to come to an
agreement concerning it.
Touches ON Armaments
1T is a problem closely connected
with the limitation of naval arma-
ments and the cooperation of the
navies of the world in keeping the
seas at once free and safe. And on
the other hand limited ornaments
opposed the wider and perhaps more
difficult question of tie limitation of
armies and of all programs of mill
tary preparation. Difficult and deli
cate as these questions are, they must
be faced with the utmost candor and
decided in a spirit of real accommo-
dation if peace is to come with heal
ing in. its wings and come to stay.
Peace cannot be had without conces-
sion and sacrifice. There can be no
sense of safety and equality among
the nations if great preponderating
ornaments are henceforth to continue
here and there to be built up and
maintained. The statesmen of the
world must plan for peace and ma
tions must adjust and accommodate
their policy to it as they have plan
ned for war and made ready for pitt
less contest and rivalry. The ques-
ton of armaments, whether on land

which they are now about to be chal-

That service is nothing less than
this-to add their authority and their
power to the authority and force of
other nations to guarantee peace and
justice throughout the world. Such
a settlement cannot now be long post
poned. 1t is right that before it comes
this government should frankly form

THE present war must first be end

a just regard for the opinion of man
kind to say that so far as our partici-
patton in guarantees of future peace
is concerned, it makes n great deal or
difference in what way and upon what
terms it is ended. The treaties and
agreements which bring it to an end
must embody terms which will create
a peace that is worth guaranteeing

IS HUMAN BODY
WAVE MEDIUM J?
Mining Engineer Experiment.
ing in Wireless Telegraphy,
Makes Important Discovery

Carlisle, Pa, Jan. %. An inter
esting field of discussion has been
opened. persons here interested in
scientific matters say. by experiments
conducted by Harold r. Mapes, of
Carlisle, a. mining engineer who is
spending vacation at his home here
during troubles in Mexico, where he
was formerly stationed. He has found
through exhaustive tests with an Ella
borate wireless receiving station that
by disconnecting the roof aerial and
having two persons act as aerial in
the room with the machines by touch
ing the aerial post and clasping hands
their bodies gather enough radial
waves to receive very well.
This has raised a question of great
interest and scientific auth critics will
be consulted on the matter. The ques-
ton is: If the human body acts as an
effective medium for receiving and
transmitting radial waves in an ordi-
nary receiving experiment. are not all
human bodies the constant recipients
of radial waves at all hours from
sending stations?

American Principles

''I am proposing government by tho
consent of the governed; that freedom
of the seas which in international
conference after conference repre-
sentatives of the United States have
urged with the eloquence of those who
are the convinced disciples of liberty:
and that moderation of armaments
which makes of armies and navies IL
power for order merely, not an instru-
ment of aggression or of selfish vio-
lence.
"These are American principles.
American policies. We can stand for
no others. They are also the principles
and policies of forward-looking men
and women everywhere, of every
modern nation, of every enlightened
community. They are the principles
of mankind and must prevail"

either branch of Congress separately
since Thomas Jefferson did in 1901.
In fact, no President addressed Con-
gress in joint session since that time

Lonely American Gentleman
Wants Indian Girl For Wife

Carlisle, Pa, Jan. %. = A little ex-
element has been caused among the
$50 girls of the Carlisle Indian School
by an. advertisement appearing in
local paper, in which a lonely New
Yorker, who describes himself as an
American gentleman" asks for COR
respondence with young Indian
maiden with a view to matrimony.
The New York man gives his name as
Harold Nordyhl and his address as
General Delivery, Buffalo, N. Y.
In his correspondence Nordyhl
merely asks that the advertisement
be inserted in several daily issues and
that any replies received be sent 40
him. Attracted by the offer, it is ex-
pected, that not a few of the dusky
maidens will respond to the request.

THE elements of that peace must
be elements that engage the conf
dence and satisfy the principles of
American governments, elements con-
sistent with their political faith and
the practical convictions which the
peoples of America have once for all
embraced and undertaken to defend.
Il do not mean to say that any
American government would throw
any obstacle in the way of any terms
of peace the governments now at war
might agree upon or seem to upset
them when made, whatever they
might be. l only take it for granted
that mere terms of peace between

so much greater than the force of any
nation now engaged or any alliance
hitherto formed or projected, that no

by the organized major force of man
kind.

 BROUGHT ID COURT
Blames 0bstructed Road for His
 Predicament

Oscar F. Neuhauser, driver of a big automobile truck used by . trap rock compay. appeared before Judge John H. Kirkham in police court this morning charged with reckless driving on West Main street. Evidence showed that while Neuhauser was not driving fast. he was somewhat negligent and Judgment was suspended on payment of costs. Detective Sergeant Bam- forth testified that as a west bound trolley car stopped on West Main street, at Burritt street, yesterday noon, Neuhauser drove his truck past on the wrong side of the road, en- dangering the life of anyone alighting from the car. Neuhauser testified that all day yesterday it was necessary to take the left side of the road going east because of excavation and work ing materials on, the right side. Tho judge warned him about being careful when he drives in traffic in the future.
 Joseph Dobruk; charged with beat ing up his wife, was sentenced to 20 days in jail. Judgment was sus- pended during good behavior. Dob- ruk made some startling accusations against his wife, claiming that be- cause of her influence all of his chil- dren have been ''put on the bum." Dobruk said he has ten children and, he told the court. they are all Ion the bum" except his two and one half year old daughter. And she may be, don't know" the irate father said.

SUFfRAGISTS HOLD
 COUNTY GATHERING
Fair Sex of Fairfield Guests of
 Ms. ]. X. Thayer {,

Westport, June 27-A suffxass com vention was held this afternoon at the .. home of Mrs. John Adams Thayer. It was gathering of all tho suffrage league of Fairfield county, and was held under tho presidency of Miss Caroline Ruutz-Re chairman of Fairfield county. in the Connecti- cut Woman Suffrage association. The county convention is an annual event in each county. The conventions arc held in summer and this year FAir- field county Is the first to hold its convention.
 The Westport Equal Franchise League, of which Mrs. Frank Me- Laury is president, was the hostess of the convention. The beautiful homo of Mrs. Thayer was gay with suffrage banners, and banners and suffrage colors were displayed all over the spicturesque town when the visiting suffragists arrived. Besides the delc- gates from the leagues and suffrage committees. there were visiting. suf- fragists who came in response to the general invitation. There were also present some women who had not identified themselves with the .v suf- frage movement., ..y- s,.& \
 The morning session was occupied with reports from the league and dis trict leaders and also from Miss Grace Murray, the county organizer. Most of the work for the last three months has been patriotic work in tho line of food production and food con- servAtion. The cultivation of gar- dens and community lots. supervision of school children's gardens. and back lot gardening were the first forms of work undertaken. The women then turned their attention to food con- servation and Fairfield county sent . larger quota than any other county to the canning courses at Storrs Agri- cultural college. The women who at tended the courses are already giving canning demonstrations for the bene- fit of their townswomen, and in some towns canning centers are being es- tablished on a cooperative basis. "LAberty Bonds" were also sold by the leagues. and in this work again FAirneld county led.
 Tn the afternoon session there were speeches from Mrs. Thomas N. Hep- burn. president of the c. w. s. A; Mrs. M. Toscan Bennett, treasurer; Miss Ruutz Rees. Mrs. Edward c. Porritt and Miss Grace Murray. Mrs. Frank McIAury gave tho address of welcome and Mrs. Lawrence Maz- xanovitch was chairman of the com mittee on arrangements.

y Oyster Bay. L. |, June 37.-A strong protest from Col. Roosevelt against the governments announced policy of excluding Americans of German or Austrian birth or parent age from Red Cross units to be sent to base hospitals of Great Britain or France was made public late yester- day. He says 1t is an intoleraDie wrong and insult to discriminate or permit discrimination between loyal and devoted Americans because or their parentase or birthplace
 Col. Roosovelt's statement is m the form of letter to c. A. A. McGee of San Diego, Cal. The letter fonows:
 Oyster Bay June 26. 1s17.
 My Dear sir-I very earnestly hope the government will at once re- cede from this position. If our Red Cross units are not desired abroad. whether with the base hospitals or tho Ailies or anywhere else. then we can use them purely for our people or with out own armies; but wher- ever we do send them it should be an the assum ption that we no more narmit distinction to be made among the American personnel on the ground of birthplace or percentage than on the ground of creed.
 Service in the Red Cross should be like service in the ranks of the army: no man worthy to serve in ono should be barred from service in the other. If any spy or disioyai person is found in either In tho the ater of war he ahould be hanged out of hand or shot by drumhead court martial, without mercy. whether he is of native or foreign parentage. But 1t is an intolerable wrong and insult to discriminate or permit dis elimination between loyal and de- voted Americans because of their parentage or birthplace.
 ''I have the right to speak in this matter because have insisted that we should take tho most drastic measures against any mon who act disloyally. and hold that all men who attack our allies or uphold our enemies while we are In this war arc disloya1 to America.
 '.No man can now be loyal both to this country and to Germany; no man can be both German and an Amer jean: he must be either all German or all American. If he Is the former, he should be turned out of the coun- try or DuA in . detention camp. II he Is the latter. it. is an tntolerable outrage not to treat him es-on an
