senatives of different nations DR. e.
J. Kulp of the First Methodist church
told members of the Current Topic
club of the Y, NJ. C. A. at their dinner
last night in his address on Peace
and War
Peace comes as a result of law.
And this law must have force behind
it. Therefore l believe in prepared
ness and universal military training.
1t is the d-blooded men who will
bring peace to the world, not the
peace at any price man.
Peace among nations "a perma-
nent, enduring and righteous peace
is a great goal which we should ex-
pend every energy to achieve. The
basis of this is a movement for uni
Versal peace, but when the peace adj
vocate starts with the assumption that
all use of force is wrong, l must dis
sent. All International laws must have
force behind them. Even the capital
city of Kansas needs the police for
enforcement"
DR.. Kulp explained why it was that
the international law of today had so
little binding force. The merest be
ginnings of international law and the
conception of nations are less than
three hundred years distant. But ma
tions are getting more and more in
terrefated and a body of effective in

near future.

When the volunteers were dis

regular he made a mark by maintain

disaster of 1906. Temporarily in
charge of the troops at the Preside,
when the disturbance came, he quick

obtaining accommodations for the

In II. U. Funston Took 300 Id
Man to Police Station.
Many Incidents in His Life Dis
played His Bravery.

Not until 1895, when the Cuban
insurrection was at it's height did
frederick Funston become known
thruout the United states as a first
class fighting man, but his friends in
hansas-where he spent his early
manhood-long had so classified him.
AS a student at the University of
Kansas, when he weighed less than
100 pounds. he conquered a 200
pound bad man. who threatened
him with a razor To add to the
giants humiliation, Funston marched
MIN thru the streets of Lawrence,
Kansas, at the point of a revolver. to
a police station
A few years later, while city editor
OF paper in Fort Smith, Arkansas,
young Funston stirred up intense feel
ing by attacking editorially the publ
cations own political party leaders
during the absence of his editor-in-
chief. Many threats are said to have
been made against Funston and the
newspaper property. but he remained
on guard until his superior returned
and then turned over the plant I'M
harmed. incidentally, Funston also
resigned.
Chased Cowboy "a Mile.
Along the Santa Fe railroad they
still recall how Funston, as a passen-
ger train conductor threw a drunken
cowboy off a train and later. when
he hurled rock thru a coach win
dow, pursued him several miles on
foot while the train waited.
Funston's first experience on the
firing line came in ba, where he
commanded General Gomez's artillery
with remarkable results. After en-
gaging in twenty-five battle and be-
ing wounded three times, he resigned
his command because fifty guerrillas
who had aided the SpaniardS were
executed against his wishes. Cap
tured by Spaniards on his way to
Havana, he escaped death by swallow
ing a letter to. the President of Cuba
which would have proved his iden-
tity.
While a colonel of the famous

formed feats of bravery that brought
him the title of brigadier-general His
capture of Aguinaldo and his fordins
of the Rio Grande at Columpit under
fire featured his work.
