Senator Salisbury Intro
duces Resolution to
Curb German Greed
Pact Open to Others
China and Russia Would Be
Included in Agreement
Later

WASHINGTON, July SOC far
reaching international significance is
resolution introduced i'll the Senate
to- day by Willard Salisbury, Of Della
ware. president pro tempore of the
Senate, providing for the policing Of
the Pacific by joint agreement among
Great Britain, Japan and the United
States.
- The resolution declares it oppor-
tune for the United States. Japan and
Great Britain to enter into an agree
ment which would prevsat Germany
gaining foothold upon the Pacific
which might permit them to "use
methods of warfare on the Pacific
Ocean not justified or warranted by
the laws of war" Consideration of it
was postponed
Under the resolution, the Chinese
Republic and the Russian people, "when
able to establish sufficiently strong
and stable government, and any gov
ernment on the Pacific littoral pre-
pared to contribute to the common
purpose reasonable proportions of sea
power" might be admitted into the
proposed agreement.
The resolution would have the agree
ment provide "that no warships or
other armed vessels of any power
which heretofore has or hereafter shall
pursue an unwarranted course Of war
fare, or use illegal methods of warfare
on the high seas, shall he permitted
to have, hold OR obtain ports, harbors,
possessions or landing places on the
Pacific Ocean, whence such warfare
may be waged or which may be used
as bases OF offence or places of re-
fuge"
The idea is to prevent piracy and to
prevent the possibility on the Pacific
of such warfare as that of the sub
marine in this war on the Atlantic.
Senator Salisbury admitted after
idea behind the resolution than the
policing of the Pacific after the war
with a view to preventing submarine
sinkings in violation of international
law. He pointed out that the pressure
now being brought by Germany upon
Holland may betoken several things,
but that Holland would not be nearly
so desirable from the German view
point if she did not own Java and
other valuable possessions in the East
Indies.
The agreement proposed in his reso-
luton, Senator Salisbury thinks,
would have dscouraging effect on
Germany's plans with regard to the
Pacific in general and the East Indies
in particular.
In this connection he called ,atten-
tion to the fact that Denmark became
much less attractive as tempting
morsel to Germany afte. she sold the
Virgin Islands to the United States
Copies of the resolution were laid
unofficially this afternoon before the
British Ambassador, the Earl of Read
ing and the Japanese Ambassador. A
cable request for the full text of the
resolution was received from Australia.

Firearms Seized i'm
County Galway Raid

LONDON. July 5.-A Press Assoca-
ton dispatch from Dublin says the po-
lice Of Ballinasloe. County Galway
have raided farmhouses within radius
of fifty miles, seizing hundreds of guns
and arms Of various descriptions. The
raids were carried out simultaneously
before daylight. and extended into the
adjoining counties of Roscommon and
Kings.
There was no resistance except in
few instances where the presence of
arms was denied, but the weapons
afterward were surrendered. The coun-
try people we're surprised, not expect
ing sach drastic action in view of the
recent proclamation of Viscount
French, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
calling for recruits.
There also were a number of arrests
in the outlying districts in connection
with alleged opposition to the discharge
OF police duties and the carrying out
OF the recruiting proclamation.

Court Frees Townley
On Anti-War CHARGE

ST. PAUL. July .5.-Thc Minnesota
Supreme Court held to-day that A. G..
Townley, president Of the Non Parti-
san League, and Joseph Gilbert, league
organizer. did not violate any state
law by circulating literature which re-
ferred to the war. The men were in
dicted in Martin County on the charge
Of attempting to discourage enlist
ments.
The court, referring to the circula-
ton Of Non-Partisan League resolu-
tions, said:
"These resolutions, taken as a wh OLE
appear to be nothing more serious than
& somewhat flamboyant platform upon
which certain class of citizens are
solicited to join an organization whose
avowed purpose is the amelioration of
alleged evils of present economic con-
ditions. The pursuit of this object
does not violate the statute in ques-
tion. 1t is perhaps not out of place to
say that the resolutions have not yet
attracted, the attention of the Federal
authorities"
New-York tribune., 1918-07-06

Minister to the United States, urged
tho need of closer union between tho
LatinAmcricans residing in the United
States. He suggested the organization
OF central body that could speak and
act in their name.
Now is the time" he said, "to put
aside all differences. There is but one
United America-no Central or South.
Our motto should be: Forever, for
ALL"
Among those who either spoke in
favor Of closer cooperation with the
United States or with their presence
demonstrated their adherence to this
view were five ex-Presidents Of Latin
American republics - General Jose

I elegraphers' Union
Issues Strike Order,
Effective Monday

A strike order, effective at T a. m..
Monday. was issued in this city yester-
day by the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union. 1t was addressed to all en-
gagged in the telegraph industry, includ-
ing commercial and railroad operators
and allied electrical workers
Final action preparatory to the strike
will be taken morrow afternoon at
a meeting of all classes of telegraph
workers, called for 2.30, in Terrace
Garden. Union officials still are ex-
pectant of some announcement from
the White House affecting the proposed
strike.
Unless something of the kind inter-
venes they hope to call out on Monday,
Or soon afterward, not only telegraph
operators of all sorts, but also all me-
chanics and repair men engaged in the
telegraph industry. The purpose is to
ers, the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union of America and the international
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
take action as q single union.
Newcomb Carlton, president Of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
stated unequivocally last night that
there would be no interruption Of the
telegraph communications Of the United
States, and that if matters are allowed
to go on as they are, the contention
which the company had been making as
and women Of the Western Union
would be demonstrated beyond doubt
He added that he had no desire through
any act Of his to cause an hours de-
lay to the nations telegraph service.
Mr.. Carlton declared it to be his be-
lief that the policy which the Western
Union had pursued in insisting that no
outside organization which indulges in
strikes should be permitted to have
representation among the operators
should continue to prevail. He said it
was, in his opinion, of the first impor-
tance to the government that the
soundness of this policy should be de-
monStrated.
Following meeting Of employees of
the Western Union last night at 81
Walker Street, a committee of the en-
royes, consisting of R. G.. Miller, r. F.
Murphy and Carl Pancake, announced
that President Newcomb Carlton had
given full sanction to having a strike
clause included in the constitution and
bylaws Of the proposed Association of
Western Union Employees. The consti-
tutional convention of this organization
is to be held in Chicago on July 10 and
will be attended by two men from each
OF the eight districts OF the Western
Union.
The committee announced this asso-
citation would be, to all intents and pur-
poses, labor union, but would not be
affiliated with any outside organization,
such as the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union Of America, which holds a men,
mership in the American Federation of
Labor
Members OF the committee said there
was not even the remotest possibility
OF the Western Union employees re-
spending to the strike call next Mon
day.

Ralph Folks. counsel for the Church

ment yesterday criticising the Com
missioner of Licenses for his refusal
to permit motion picture called "The
Finger of Justice" to be exhibited. He
charged that the Commissioner had in

1t was noon when We dropped into

US cordially as We fell into his chair
and prepared to submit ourselves to

There was the usual clatter of In
struments on the white tray as We
opened our jaws and the dentist peer
ed into them. This time his object Of
attention was the cavity from which
he had recently extracted a tooth.
"What are you going to do after I
get through" said the doctor mildly.
Between his fist and his mirror we
blurted out something about lunch.
go to lunch with me, will yOu?"
We nodded our assent and then Il
happened. Something that felt as big
as a crowbar Is and was as sharp as
new safety razor blade is supposed to
be went up into the roof OF our mouth.
When We landed down again on the
chair and the pain had eased off a
trifle we started to laugh.

new uses FOUND
FOR AUTOMOBILE
Adaptation to Wars Needs
Brings Changes in Industry.
RAILROADS TO Be ASSISTED
Motor Car Fits In for Direct Purpose
Of War to Greater Extent Than
We Have Yet Discovered
Business to Expand.

Commenting on the use Of the auto
mobile In war times, the president Of q
large tire and rubber concern says:
The government at Washington is
doing some things that startle us be-
cause we do not have q proper under
standing Of what its program is. Much
has been said about stopping the auto
mobiles. This Is all nonsense. The
government IL going to lay its heavy
hand on the nonessential industries,
but the rubber business and the auto
mobile business are not In that class.
They are essential Industries.
Motors Wanted for War.
sJust because in England and France
the use Of automobiles had to be
checked It does not follow that we
have parallel conditions here. You
must remember that in England and
France they are dealing not with .
cent gasoline, but with 81 and 1925
gasoline, and that over there the man
power Is exhausted, almost to the last
man They have to get every man
available. even from the essential in
dustries, on the battle front. They
want the automobiles to run for gov
eminent purposes. When I was there
In 1915, they were already booing'
civilian automobiles along the streets
Of London.
Commercial Business to Expand.
But we are not going 10 get to that
point In this country. Here We have a
tremendous area, and a greet amount
Of transportation is necessary. The
railroads cannot carry 1t. The auto
mobile fits In for the direct purpose Of
the war to a greater extent than we
have yet discovered. The commercial
end Of the business will expand re
mendously. More commercial cars will
be made than we have ever dreamed
Of. The Joy riders will be clipped OF,
but that does not mean that the man
who takes his family out for a ride on
Sunday or holiday to get a readjust-
ment from the tension Of the week will
be criticized.
Tire Industry Essential.
ION the contrary. 1t is the rational
things that ought to be done. The line
Of demarcation can never be drawn
very clearly. but 1t will not be drawn
so arbitrarily that a man will be criti-
cized for taking his family out for Q
ride, as Is the case In England. A great
many Of the cars now running will take
on their touring bodies. and put on
other bodies to work economically for
war purposes. Tires will be used right
along. more and more every year. no
matter what happens. The tire indus
try is essential and it is going on. not
withstanding the production Of auto
mobiles may be cut. We are going to
find that We must work more as
whole, for the one thing, the plan Of
the government"
