JAPAN HALTED
At INTERVENTION
BUSINESS ELEMENT SHOWED
DISPOSITION TO OPPOSE
MOVE

TOXIC, Aug. 8. = Apparent ten
dency by Japanees business men to
oppose Intervention in Siberia has
been reflected in business generally
here. The stock market has been
oppressed with the idea of Siberian
mobilization. Trading has fallen off
and many shares have weakened.
At times when it appeared that ia
pan had at least temporarily tabled
the Intervention question the mar
ket has rallied, becoming active
with short covering, but the gener-
al investment public has remained
strictly cautious, showing a dispo-
sition to sell at advancing prices.
Trade with Asiatic Russia was
made possible by the reopening of
the Siberian border, and match
stick importers have already report
ed their intention of buying afresh
there, while bean-oil men had
a brighter prospect for their buy
ing of soya beans.

Chairman of Shipping Board Speaks
at Celebration Of.
Event

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5.-The
cargo carrier Quistconck, the first
ship built in the Hog Island plant,
was successfully launched today
with a hearty Godspeed from the
president. Mrs. Wilson, with the
president standing beside her, chris
tened the ship in the presence of
nearly $4,000 people standing under
a boiling sun. The crowd cheered
wildly as the ship slid down the
ways. The president made no
speech but, responding to an appeal
from the crowd, he waved his hat
and shouted: Good luck to you"
Mrs. Wilson smilingly repeated the
sentiment. The party returned to
Washington after remaining less
than 80 minutes at the yard.
Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board, speaking at a luncheon in
celebration of the launching, said:
q doubt whether l ever have had
better opportunity to state the vast
scope of this program due to the
vision of the president. We are 60
ing through with the ship building
program.
America must go on If it takes
five years to complete the program
that will place at the service of man
kind a merchant fleet that will
make an enduring peace by bringing
the nations closer together, as
eastern and western and northern
and southern states were brought
closer together by a nationwide sys-
tenn of railroads.
The end of the var will FIND
America master of the processes OF
quantity production. We will build
ships for ourselves and for the
world"

TO TRAIN OUR
SOLDIER BLIND
INSTITUTE NEAR BAL
TIMORE

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 8. =
For them who shall exist in dark
ness to the end of their days - SOL
diers who have paid with their eye
sight part of the price of victory,
the army machinery of reconstruc-
ton is now beginning to function.
At general hospital No. Z, just out
side of Baltimore, and under the
special Red Cross institute for the
blind, the first group of nine has
been assembled and is struggling
painfully but hopefully over the in
~tricacies of Braile type, taking the
first steps on the long road that
will end when senses of touch and
hearing have sharpened to a keen
ness that will to some degree COM
pensate for the missing optic nerve.
There are 10 more on the way back
from France to take up the train
ing, and up to the present date this
was the total number of absolutely
sightless hat American armies had
to report.
AS yet the institute has no grad
yates fitted to enter civil life, be-
cause the soldiers will not be dis
charged until they have become pro-
ficient in a new occupation, and
able to maintain independence. The
idea is not to keep them off a pen
sion list-the insurance policies
they hold provide 800 a month to
keep them from want = but to keep
off the feeling of uselessness that
leads to despair, and hold out for
them a definite place in life in spite
of the handicap that has been fore
ed upon them. The policy form is
the same as all the mutilated in the
nations casualty lists.

AUDACIOUS FIRE STARTS
NEXT TO CHIEFS HOUSE

1t is indeed a nervy fire that will
start directly next door to a fire
chiefs house, but that is what a
Goldfield fire did yesterday eve
ming and when the fire chief receiv-
ed a message that a fire had start
ed next to the Murphy domicile, he
stepped on the big truck and went
like a streak. The fire was in an
%unoccupied cabin and is supposed
to have been started by children
who had been playing in the cabin.
The principal damage was to the
chiefs Sunday-go-to-meeting suit,
which he put in the casualty list
when the fire was out.

barracks Planned for U. of N.

President Clark of the state uni
versity and Governor Boyle re-
Gently held a conference in Carson
regarding the training of soldiers
at the university. AS the number of
men to be trained there increases 1t
will be necessary to provide bar
racks. The training of men for spe-
cial vocations also requires a great
deal of space in the buildings and 1t
is believed some action will be TAX
en- to relieve the situation. Sugges-
tions have been made and figures
will be submitted for making I'M

ing quarters of the men COM
Portable and provide more space for

BOYS PINCHED FOR SPEEDING

Four boys, who had been whizz-
ing two automobiles through Gold
field streets last night, were ar
rested by Night Officer Benton.
They were later released by Justice
of the Peace Arnold to appear be-
fore him at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
No formal complaint was filed
against the boys, but it is believed
their arrest may serve as a warning
to other young pilots of cars who
nightly endanger the lives of pedes-
trians. 1t is the general opinion
that there has been too much speed
ing during this summer and last
nights arrest is considered to have
been a ste pin the right direction.

LEAGUE PLAN
now OUTLINED
Method of Nations ALI
ance Suggested by
Society.

London, Oct. THE British League
of Nations Society has Just issued a
definite scheme for the formation Of a
World League.
II proposes. first, an international
conference. at which the nation mem
bers will be represented roughly on
scale OF population:
Nations with twenty millions or less
one member.
Nations with twenty to nfty millions
three members.
Nations with fifty 10 one hundred
millions-hve members.
Nations with over 100 millions-seven
members.
This international Conference would
meet every three years and would
elect % a Supreme Court of Nations
and C2) an Administrative Committee.
The Supreme Court would be COM
posed OF fifteen judges and would be
essentially judiclaI-to discover and
develop" international justice; to pro-
nounce Judgment In all 'justiciable
cases. deciding itself what cases are
''justiciable" and what are not
Non-justiciable cases are left to still
another body the Council of Concilia
ton, in which each nation-member
would have one representative. Its Job
would be to investigate all non-jus-
ticiable cases; propose means Of con-
ciliation and publish an official report
on every such case within a year after
It has been submitted.
Fixed Seat Pisnned.
The administrative committee
would be. in effect. the executive
of the league, collecting informa-
ton. calling meetings of the con-
ference, and consulting with the
nation-members of the league as
to any unnecessary joint action to
enforce the decisions of the supreme
court.
Tn" league would have fixed
seat; but the council of concilia-
tion would sit elsewhere for its
consideration Of any given case.
Judges of the supreme court and
members Of the court of cancellation
would be elected for nine-yeaI
terms: they would be sslaried and
pensioned out of an endowment
fund contributed to by all nation
members and managed by the ad,
ministration committee.
A Judge would be removable
only on the recommendation OF his
fellow-judges.
1t would be the business of the
international conference, the orig
insl body chosen roughly on popu'
lation, to formulate and codify in
ternational law; it will be noticed
that this body was set down for 9
meeting every three years; but Il
is taken that this means the con-
ference must meet every thret
years. and may meet as often al
necessary; nothing is said eithel
about the length of session.
Sir Willoughby Dickinson, who

contributes the introduction, makes
IL plain that the society considers
the question practically, with a
view TO furnishing something work
able and permitting of INDEFINITE
development as the organization is
tested.
Would Admit Germany.
He says he and his colleagues
take the evolutionary side of the
debate between those who want

ton Of the World" at the start. and
those who seek a plan likely TO at.
tract a large number of nations de-
termined upon permanent peace and
yet spprehensive of new dangers in

The plan proposes that any civil.
lied state desiring TO join the
league shall be admitted to mem
bership," and to that some members
demur
That would admit Germany. But
