COMMISSION REPORTS
Continued from Page One)

nounced today that further investiga-
ton will be necessary before complete
reports can be made on many ques-
tons.
on the adjustment of navy yards
the report says that full consideration
of the present and prospective size of
navy, its requirements, not only in
peace, but during the far more exact
ing conditions Of war should bring
convincing evidence that the abolish
ment at this time of any existing navy
yard or naval station within the con-
tinental limits of the United States
would be quite without justification.
The report explains that this should
not be taken to mean that there might
not be transfer of work from one yard
to another or changes in methods of
handling work at certain plants. 1t
declares that the present equipment
of many yards is Inadequate in drv
docking facilities. berthing space. stor-
age facilities, machinery and other de-
tails.
Not all the yards are ideally locat-
ed to meet strategic and other re-
qulrements, but the commission con-
ciudes that such considerations must
have little force" in the size, actual
conditions and the actual requirements
OF the present and prospective fleet.

ton of the most fundamental canons or
international law be crowned with sue
cess. will Il not be in vain that the as
sembled nations labor to improve their
code? None will profit by their rules
but powers who break them. 1t is those
who keep them that will suffer.
Though. therefore. the people of this
country share to the full the desire of the
President for peace. they do not believe
peace can be durable if it be not based
on the success of the Allied cause. For
durable peace can hardly be expected
unless three conditions are fulfilled. The
first is the existing causes of interna-
tional unrest should be as far as possible
removed or weakened.
The second IS that the aggressive
aims and the INSCRIPTIONS methods of
the Central Powers should fall into dis
repute among their own peoples. The
third is that behind international law
and behind all treaty arrangements for
preventing or limiting hostilitieS some
form of international sanction should
be devised which would give pause TO
the hardest aggressor. These condi-
tons may be difficult of fulfillment.
But we believe them to be in general
harmony with the Presidents ideas
and we are confident that none of them
can be satisfied even imperfectly I'M
less peace be secured on the general
lines indicated $50 far as Europe is
concernedD in the joint note. There
+! fore. it is that this country has made,
if making and is prepared to make
sacrifices of blood and treasure un
~
heavy burdens, not merely that it may
thus fulfill its treaty obligation not yet
that it may secure a barren triumph
Of one group of nations over another.
1t bears them because it firmly be-
lieves that on the success of the al
lies depend the prospects of peaceful
civilization and of those international
reforms which the best thinkers OF the
new world. as of the old. dare TO hope
may follow on the cessation of our
present calamitieS."

MORE RUM LIBELED
BY DEPUTY SHERIFF

Deputy Sheriff Hubbard libeled IA
quarts OF whiskey Wednesday which he
had siezed that morning at the express
office at the Maine Central station. The
stuff was consigned to man in Show
hogan. How hard up the dealers in con-
traband are is evident from the fact
that one or two men who are consider
ed TO be in the business have approached
business and professional men In the
city and asked them to allow the use
of their name in sending for liquor and
promising to pay for the privilege. So
far as could be learned, none of the men
approached had consented to be made a
catspaw for the benefit of the booze men.
