NEH PEACE DRIVE
NAY BE EXPECTED
President Lowell of Harvard University
Warned Against II at Convention
of League to Enforce Peace.

Philadelphia. May l6.-Probability
and grave danger of another German
peace drive were emphasized by Presi.
dent A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard uni
yersity in his address to-day at the open
ing session of the convention of the
League to Enforce Peace. He said in
part:
1T is not at all improbable that within
few weeks Germany may propose to
make peace on terms that appear on
their face reasonable and moderate. She
may offer to retire from Belgium and
! France and even TO contribute toward
the damage suffered. to eede Alsace and
| Lorraine or leave their future to be de-
eided by plebiscite, 70 give the Trentino
and Triste TO Italy, TO promise some kind
OF autonomy to the various races in
central and eastern Europe, and to agree
that the barbarities she has practieed
shall not again be permitted in war.
Such an offer might well beguile the
allies into delusive peace. The peace
would be delusive for, unless the prin
cple of militarism is destroyed. the
promises would be kept no better than
those broken in the past, Autonomy of
other races would mean their organiza-
ton for the strengthening of Germany;
until she had control OF the resources of
population of 2o0,000,000 for her next
war, Such a settlement would be mere
truce pending strife more fierce here
after.
IF the upshot of this war is ineonclu-
siye the whole world will be preparing
for another During any temporary
truce men OF science in all countries viii
devote much of their thought to making
engines more destructive and more dead
ly for the next struggle which will be
we'll nigh war of determination.
Civilization as we know it has reached
point where it must preclude war or
perish by war, and war can be precIud-
ed only by conquest of the world by
single power, or by an organization of
many nations to prevent its recurrence
THE principle of predatory mlitarism
cannot be done away unless mankind
has The intelligence. the magnanimity
and the determination so TO organize it
self that Justice shall take the place Of
violence, and that the predatory state
shall be restrained, by force If need be, |
from wanton resort to arms. No one
nation can do this, nor can it be done if |
the United States stands aloof The |
time has come to take part in a league |
of nations to maintain an enduring peace |
here and elsewhere We must finish the /
work we have begun until the principle |
for which we fight stands victorious and |
and then we must build
structure that, so far as human wisdom
can reach, will Danish the scotirge of war

GERMAN sUBMERGEs EVERYTHING

thought and bring on the present war
The speaker was DIR. Richard Heath Dab
ney of the University of Virginia, who
studied under Treitschke in Berlin DR.
Dabnev's topic was "Germany's Dream
of Dominion"
"Treitschke's whole aim, he said, was
to Prussanize Germany and to German
ize the world, | heard him at the height
of his powers, from the fall of 1883 to
the spring of 1885.
Upon other peoples he poured forth
hate, scorn and contempt, particularly
upon the English and ourselves. We

time to mediate upon beauty: The Amer

the tomb and see American dollars and
American men preparing to chase the
kaiser back to Berlinl
"Treitschke's theory of the state as an
ll.enguifng power has seized hold OF the
German mind The German, submerging
his own personal identity in the state,
seeks dominion, through the state, over
Others. The American, intelligently COM
bining with his fellow individuals, seeks
national freedom for himself and for
them. If Prussia conquers our armies,
the Prussian theory will conquer our
moral authority from the collective con
sent of intelligent individuals, will perish
from the earth.

American and the Prussian ideals re-

TO PRESERVE EGGS.
Methods Are Suggested BY Vermont Elk
tension Service,

| During the spring and early summer
when eggs are abundant and reasonable
in price, attention should be given tc
preserving them for winter use Fresh
eggs properly preserved may be kept for
eight to II months in excellent condi-
tion and used with good results.
II satisfactory results are to be OBJ.
tanned the eggs should be fresh and
clean. and, If possible, infertile. Eggs
that float when placed in the solution are
not fresh and, therefore, cannot be pre-
served. When an egg Is only slightly
soiled, cloth dampened with vinegar
can be used TO remove such stains. I'm
der no circumstances should bad eggs
be used for preserving; if put into the
jar while dirty, they will spoil, and
washing removes protective coating
which hastens the spelling. The poultry
specialists of the extension service of
the University of Vermont and state ag
ricultural college suggest the following
methods OF preserving eggs.
Water Glass Method-A good method
for preservation of eggs is the use of So
dunn silicate, or water glass. Ii the
price of sodium silicate is about 80 cents
q quart. eggs may be preserved at cost
of approximately two cents a dozen. II
is not desirable to use the water glass
second time
Use one quart of sodium silicate to
nine quarts of water that has been
boiled and cooled. Place the mixture in
a fiye-gallon crock or jar. This will be
sufficient to preserve Is dozen eggs and
will serve as guide for the quantity
needed TO preserve larger numbers of
eggs.
Lime Method-When water glass can
not be obtained, the following method
may be used in its stead. Many consider
his method entirely satisfactory. though
Instances are known where eggs so pre- |
served have tasted slightly of lime.
Dissolve two or three pounds of un-
ilsked lime in FIVE gallons Of water that |
las previously been boiled and allowed I
o cool, and allow the mixture to stand /
lntil the lime settles and the liquid is 4
lear, Place clean, fresh eggs in a clean /
arthenware crock or jar and pour the
lear llmewater into the vessel until the
ggs are covered. At least two inches of
he solution should cover the top layer Of
ggs- Sometimes a pound Of salt is used
'lth the lime, but experience has shown
n general the lime without the salt is
aore satisfactory.

will be passed along by powerful ma
ehinery from one group of workmen to
another and, as it passes, each group
will add something to the boat.
When the last riyet has been driven in
the steel hull, the boat will be picked up
| bodily by a powerful hydraulic lift and
! deposited further down the ways where
/ skilled workmen will install the motor
equipment.
Three ways have been constructed,
each TO hold seven of the submarine
chasers. II is generally understood that
the plant will be able to put into the
water one completed Eagle" a day and
some estimates have placed the number
as high as three for each twenty four
hours.
There will be no champagne christen-
ings nor elaborate launching ceremonies.
No efforts are being made to give the
boats any touch Of artificial beauty. the
sole effort being to turn out with as
great speed as possible an efficient wesp-
on against German ruthlessness on the
seas. Government secrecy shrouds the
ma ior details of construction.
