would result in abandoning the new,
born Russia to the intrigue, the
manifold subtle interference, and the
certain conference.-the which
would be attempted by all the malign
influences to which the German gov
eminent has of late accustomed the
world. Can people be based upon a
restitution of it's power or upon any
word of power it could pledge in a
treaty of settlement and accommoda-
ton?
Irresponsible statesmen must now
everywhere see, if they never saw
before, that no peace can rest Sc
curely upon political or economic re-
strictions meant to benefit some ma
tons and cripple or embarrass 9TH
ers, upon vindictive action OF any
sort or any kind of revenge or DELHI
crate injury. The American people
have sUhe red intolerable wrongs at
the hands of the imperial German
government, but they desire no re-
prisal upon the German people, who
have themselves suffered all things
in this war, which they did not
choose. They believe that peace
should rest upon the rights of peo-
pies, not the Fights of governments
the rights of Peoples, great or small
weak or powerful-their equal right
to freedom and security and selfgov-
eminent and to a participation upon
fair affairs in the economic oppor-
tunities of the wcrld-the German
people, Of course, included, if they
will accept equality and moi seek
G"nlration.
'Tne test, therefore, of every plan
of peace is this: 1t is based upon the
taitH Of all the peoples involved or
merely upon the word of an ambit-
ious and intriguing government on
the one hand and of a group Of free
peoples on the other? This is test
which goes to the root of the matter
and it is the test which may be ap-
piled.
"The purpose of the United States
in this war are known to the whole
world-to every people to whom the
truth has been permitted to come.
They do not need to be stated again.
We seek no material advantage of
any kind. We believe that the in
tolerable wrongs done in this war
by the furious and brutal power of
the imperial German government
ought to be repaired, but not at the
expense of the sovereignty of any
people-rather vindication of the
sovereignty both of those that are
weak and of those that are strong.
Punitive damages, the dismember-
ment of empires, the establishment
of selfish and exclusive economic
leagues, we deem ineXpedient and in
the end worse than futile, no proper
basis for a peace of anly kind, least
of all for an enduring peace. That
must be based upon business and
fairness and the common rights of
mankind.

present rulers of Germany as a guar

Gus feat of Professor T. A. Jaggar, Jr.,
director of the volcano observatory in
venturing out on the hot, barely Solidi
fled edge of the lava for more than 100
yards to plunge his instruments into
the lake of fire for the purpose Of
ascertaining its temperature. He was
successful and he and his assistants
escaped in safety only short time be-
fore the spot on which they had stood
was engulfed and became itself a part
of the boiling flood.
The temperature of the lake is more
than 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, accord
ing to the results obtained by Profess
sor Jaggar The temperature was found
by thrusting into the molten lava
lengths of pipe screwed together, into
the end of which had been fitted six
Seegar cones, conical plugs of fusible
clay designe dto melt at varying tenn
peratureS.
To reach the living lava Professor
Jaggar and his assistants had to
scramble down sixty feet over the rim
of the pit, holding on to the knife edged
crags that had been thrown UP by the
volcanoes activity. One of the party
fell When near the bottom, put fortu-
nately regained his feet in time to pre-

Professor Jaggar, who is connected
with the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, has spent five years at
Kilauea, observing the phenomena of
the volcano for scientific purposes. He
takes daily, almost hourly observations,
makes chemical analyses of the lava,
the gases arising from the pit and is
endeavoring to deduce from his studies
general rules from which to predict
volcanic activity and its influences.

Ship Was Unarmed

NEW YORK, April 5.-The American
steamship Missourian, owned by the
American Hawaiian Steamship line,
left here March for Italian ports. The
ship was unarmed and carried on her
outward voyage a general cargo. She
was commanded by Capt. William
Lyons and carried a crew of 81 men
of whom 81 we're American citizens,
according to the shipping records here.
The Missourian was a ship of 1914
tons gross, 5077 tons net register. She
was built in 1904 at Sparrows Point,
Md, and first named the Missouri. She
was engaged in New York-Panama
traffic, being designed chiefly for
Panama canal service and was trans
ferred to the Atlantic trade shortly
after the beginning of the European
war. She was for a time in the service
of the United States government, hav-
ing been taken over as a transport
shortly after General Funston was sent
to Vera Cruz in 1914.

MACHINERY To
D|SPLkCE: HAND
LABOR ABROAD


LONDON, April i6.-The use of
machinery, particularly American ma
chinery, in place of hand labor, is be
ing widely discussed as one of the
large problems to be met with after
the war. Under the stress of war
enormous quantities of American ma
chinery have been brought into Eng
land, France and other countries at
war, for manufacturing harness, shoes
guns, shells, and the whole range Of
war requirements. AT Havre the Bel
gian government factory, employing
1880 workmen, has 80 per cent Amer
lean machinery. Going through these
works, an Associated Press representa-
tive noted at every hand the machin-
cry bearing the marks of firms at
Bridgeport, Providence, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Cincinnati and many other
points. The harness factory, for turn
ing out cavalry and artillery supplies,
was entirely equipped with American
machinery.
The manager of the works said Eng
fish machinery was good only on the
luge, ponderous machines, but that
American machinery was practically
alone in the field on fine automatic
work replacing the deXterity of hand
work. He estimated that the heavy
English and French machines, chiefly
IN the fOundries and machine shops
were under ten per cent of the plant,
all the rest being American. Some of
the American machines were pointed
out as having an ingenuity almost hui.

little short of magic, as he mad always
held the discs in his hand, while now
re touching of a button gripped the
discs until the work was done. There
is the same influx of these labor
saving machines all over England
France and unoccupied Belgium, and in
fact all over allied Europe.
Besides doing the war work of al.
kinds, this new use of machinery has
opened the eyes of producers as to
what machinery could do for increasing
British production when normal condi-
tons are restored 1t has been argued
as one of the chief wea pons to combat
the revival of German manufacturers
and another Made in Germany" cam

most of the factories in England were
,quipped in the days of steam, and
have taken no account of electricity as
new motive power. He figures out
that this eld-time equipment cannot
possibly compete with American and
German production. This view is wide
ly held, and besides the American ma
chinery is already here furnishing its
own argument in the war work.

labor of men returning from the army
to civil occupations. But while recog-
niZing it as a danger, they appeared to
accept the increased use of machinery.
particularly American machinery, as
one of the assured facts brought out by
the war. One of the resolutions passed
called on the government to give spe-
cial attention to the needs of workmen
resulting from this new and enlarged
competition from machinery.

HONOLULU, April Intense ac-

miles in circumference, and is situated
Il the southeasterly part of the island
IF Hawaii, the largest island of the
group.
The volcano, enclosed by a circular
vail from eco to 700 feet in height, is a
black plain of some four square miles
area, within which is the pit Of
Halemaumau, about 1000 feet in diam
eter, recently empty to a depth of a
thousand feet, but now nearly level to
its mouth with boiling lava. A few
months ago the life of the volcano
could hardly be discerned, but today
the pit is a roaring, boiling, swirling
axe of fire of many acres in extent and
1t night the glow from the red hot lava
can be seen all over the island and far
out at sea. The fiery lake is filled with
spouting fountains that shoot the liquid
rock hundreds of feet into the air. The
rim of the pit is constantly crumbling
