WHY HUNS MUST BE CONQUERED
 AT THIS TIME

PHILADELPHIA May .29.-The collapse of civilization in the next war, which he said must surely come If Germany is not conclusiveIv de- feated in this war, was pictured by Dr. Franklin H. Giddings of New York, professor of sociology and the history of civilization in CoIumbia University, speaking recently at the Twin the War for Permanent Peace" convention of the League to enforce Peace.
 "If the Central European Powers shall obtain a substantial advantage by means of the war which they be gan in 1912, he said, Justice and democracy will have thenceforth for generations no safe abiding place in the world. If the entente allies lose the defensive war that they are now Waging, a greater war will follow in which civilization will collapse. This is the mOnstrous peril that the civil ized world faces today
 1 "In the fewest possible words I l shall put before you two substantial reasons for the prediction.
 '"The first is thrust upon us by the notorious history and present char acter of TeutOnism. If the imperial German government and it's bandit accomplices are victorious they will begin the next war, deliberately, after systematic preparation, and witA in tent to bring the whole world under heel. Or, forewarned and awake to peril, the nations not already con. quered will begin a war of revClt and revolution.
 "The second reason why civiliza- tion will go down in the next war if the TeutOn is not conquered is that science and invention have placed in his hands means of Out-reach and transportation, and means of de- struction which are adequate to the task of annihilattng all that man has created since he began to chip flint. Picture then, if you can, a world laid waste by Prussian diabolism in the next great war The enemy IS a Prussianized Mittel-Europe London and New York, Paris, Chicago, and San Francisco, like Ninevah and Babylon, are names of things that were. Universities and schools are closed. Men and boys are bearing arms or toiling under the lash. Women and girls are slaves. There

WANT CONFERENCE
TO ANNUL AGREEMENT
Switzerland Wants New R.R. Rate
Pact with Italy and Germany.

Switzerland is expected to ask the
Peace Conference to annul the Goth
ard convention by which she granted
special freight rates to Germany and
Italy over the well-known Gothard
railroad connecting those countries.
The agreement conflicts with Pres
idept Wilson's demand for removal
of economic barriers, according to
Swiss authorities.
Germany and Italy were allied when
the road was developed and they
promised to do everything possible
to facilitate traffic over the connect
ing line in return for rate conces-
sions. The war stopped this traffic
completely and Switzerland wants the
right to make her own tariffs.
