Chicago. III. April 12-Ritchie
Mitchell. AHIwaukee's entrant in the

Mitchell is so anxious to swap
punches with Freddy Welsh for the
crown of their division that he has
offered to finance the match over a
distance route himself and he has
agreed to let Welsh have almost ev-
erything the Englishman demands. He
hasn't corraled the echmpion yet, but
has high hopes Of inveigling him into
a 20 round contest in New Orleans.
In the meantime Mitchell wants to
keep busy and in view Of the fact
that the lesser lights of the game are
displaying wholesome respect for his
prowess by keeping at a distance he

OPPOSE DRASTIC
Spy MEASURES

Washington. D. G. April a. y Jane
Adams, of Chicago. president Of the
Women's Peace party; Gilbert E. Roe.
of New York: Harry Weinberger. OF
the Free Speech League of America
and Charles T. Haliinan. Of the Ameri-
can Union Against Militarism, spoke
in opposition to the present terms Of
the administration general spy bill at
a hearing today before the house
judiciary committee.
They contended in general that the
bill as now framed would create a die
tatorship in the United States worse
than any autocratic conditions abroad.
They favored a spy bill to drastically
punish any wilful act designed to
cause disaffection in the army and
navy with punishment by death for
furnishing informatio to any enemy
government The bill as drafted they
contend would impose a censorship in
tOlerable and unnecessary.
Muzzling public opinion. John Reed,
a war correspondent said, caused con-
tinuatiOn of the disastrous Dardanelles
campaign. CensOrships are being
lightened in Europe, he said. and even
Socialists in Germany are permitted to
criticise the government.

BRYCE OUTLINES
APEACE LEAGUE
1t Was Drafted Two Years
Ago and Much Like For
mer President Taft's.

London Eng. AUrfl "details Of
what is known as the Bryce scheme
for a league to enforce peace were
given out today by lord Bryce. former
British ambassador at Washington In
a letter accompanying his statement.
lord Bryce says the plan was drawn
up by himself and committee of promi-
nent Englismen two years ago but had
not been made public previously be-
cause the time for publication did not
seem to have arrived, and because
opinion in England IN the midst of the
war. had been regarded up to now as
unfavorable for calm consideration ol
the future.
Lord Bryce says:
The entrance OF the United States
into the war makes ii desirable that the
effort of the American League to En-
force Peace should be responded TO
by expressions of public opinion here
1 therefore venture to lay before you
a scheme almost identical with that or
the American league 1t was prepared
by a group of men here two years ago.
May Focus Public Attention
The scheme is, Of course, tentative
but taken with the American scheme il
may help to draw public opinion TO
this important subject Obviously no
practical steps can be taken until after
the war but the idea is one which
the public may well begin to consider.
It has received the approval Of the
present and late premiers and the for
eign secretary
The Bryce plan as outlined follows
closely the lines of the American pro-
posal but goes a step further in the 6i-
retcion of common enforcement of de-
cisions and in providing for collective
action against any non-member nation
which refuses arbitration or concilia-
ton or against a member nation which
commits acts of aggression without
having agreed to submit to the inter-
national tribunal
Council Would Only Be Advisory
1t is suggested that the greater pow
ers be represented in the international
council Dy three members, 10 one or
two smaller powers, but lord Bryce
explains that this does not seem a
point of fundamental Importance as
the functions of the council would be
advisory and not executive.

detail while the Msntis held
her transfiXed under the
points of her double saw and
was already munching her
belly. the Wasp continued TO
lick the honey of her Bee, IN
able to rellnqulsh the delicious
food even amid the terrors OF

That almost read to me as z
picture Of the world of today.
