 Whisky Car First

Hall, prohibition Inspector. charged with killing Raymond c. Shack elford and Lawrence W. Hudson last March near Winchester.
 Joseph Williams, chauffeur for the pro- thibition officers on the night of the shoot ing. testified that the officers did not open fire on the alleged whisky laden automobile until they were fired upon from the interior of the machine. The automobile of Hudson and Shackelford. he said, was sighted two miles up the l road at 5 g. m. on March 26 by spot Might with which the men were sweep ing the road A
 The prohibition officers, Williams con- tinued, blocked the road with their auto mobile on the narrow approach to the rumb1ing Run bridge and when the sther machine came up it was stopped. he of the officers, he added, called to hackelford, the driver, that he was un- CT arrest

great plan. The only triumphant ideas in this world are the ideas that are or ganized for battle. The only thing that equals an organized programme is bet ter programme.
 If this is not the way to secure peace l beg that the way may be pointed out. If we must reject this way, then I beg that before I am sent to ask Germany to make a new kind of peace with us, I should be given specific instructions as to what kind of peace it is to be. If the gentlemen who don't like what was done in Paris thank that they can do something bet ter, l beg that they will hold their convention soon, and do so now They prive us of this great work of peace without substituting some other that is better
 And so, my fellow citizens, I look forward with profound qualification to the time which I believe will now, not much longer be delayed, when the American people can say to their fel- lows in all parts of the world we are the friends of liberty; we have joined with the rest of mankind in securing the guarantees of liberty; we stand here with you, the eternal champions Of what is right, and may God keep US in the covenant that we have formed"

CONFERENCE URGED

Just so soon as these demands were made. other nations of Europe sent telegraphic messages to their repre- sentatives at Vienna and Berlin, urg- ing them to ask the governments of Vienna and Berlin to enter into d.s- cussion of these matters.
 T was recalling, my fellow citizens, the circumstances which began the terrible conflict that has just been concluded
 ''So soon as the unconscionable de- mands of Austria were made on Serbia the other governments Of Europe sent telegraphic messages to Berlin and Vienna, asking that the matter be brought into a conference. And the significant circumstance of the begin ming of this war is that the Musician and German governments did not dare to discuss the demands on Serbia or the purpose which they had in view
 Tt is universally admitted on the other side of the water that if they had gone into international confer ence on the Austrian demands. the war never would have been begun. There was an insistent demand from London, for example, by the British foreign minister that the cabinets of Europe could be given time to dare to admit time for discussion,
 q am recalling these circumstances. my fellow citizens, because I want to point out to you what apparently has es- capped the attention of some of the crit ics of the league of nations that the heart Of the league of nations does not lie in any of the portions which have been dis eussed in public debate. The great bulk of the provisions of that covenant con tained these arrangements and promises or the part of the states which undertook 10 become members of it; that in no cir cumstances will they go to war with tout first having either submitted the question to arbitration-in which case they agree to abide by the result, or, hay ing submitted the question to discussion by the council of the league of nations, in which case they will allow six months for the discussion and agree not to go to war until three months after the council has announced it's opinion upon the sub- feet under dispute

TO BE ALPHABETICALLY SEALED

'1t will be dramatically sealed by the united action of the most powerful na- tions in the world and if this economic boycott bears with unequal weight the members of the league agree to sup port one another, and to relieve one another in any exceptional disadvan- tages that may arise out of it. And 1 want you to realize that this war was won not only by the armies of the world but it was won by economic means as we'll Without the economic means the war would have been much longer continued. What happened was that Germany was shut off from the economic resources of the rest of the globe and she could not stand it; and a nation that is boycotted is a nation that is in sight of surrender Apply this economic. peaceful. silent, deadly remedy and there will be no need for force.
 "It is a terrible remedy. It does not cost life outside the nation boy cotted. but it brings a pressure upon that nation, which, in my judgment, no modern nation could resist.
 "I dare say that some of those ideas are new to you, because, while it is true as said this forenoon in Colum- bus, that apparently nobody has taken the pains to say what is in the cove nant of the league of nations. They have discussed three--chiefly three of 26 articles, and other articles contain this heart of the matter, that instead of war there shall be arbitration in- stead of war there shall be discussion instead of war there shall be closure of intercourse: that instead of war there shall be the irresistible pressure of the opinion of all mankind.
 "I need not tell you that I speak with Knowledge in this matter-knowledge of the purpose of the men with whom the men representing America were associat- ed at the peace table. Every one I con- suited with came there with the same idea that wars had arisen in the pas, because the strong had taken advantage of the weak and that the only way tc stop war was to band ourselves together to protect the weak

 secret treaty between Japan and two of the great powers engaged in this war on our side. We could not ask them to disregard those promises This war had been fought, in part, be- cause of the refusal to observe the fidelity which is involved in a proni- ise-in failure to regard the sacred ness of treaties. And this covenant of the league of nations provides that no secret treaty shall have any valld- ity
 When you look at the covenant of the League of Nations thus in the large, you wonder why it is a bogy to anybody; you wonder what influences have made gentlemen afraid of it; you wonder why it is not obvious to everybody as it is to those who study it with disinterested thought, that this is the central and es- sential covenant of the whole peace.
 PUT UP OR SHUT UP You would think, to hear some men discuss this covenant, that it is an ar rangement for sending men abroad again just as soon as possible It is the only Econceivable arrangement which will pre- went our sending men abroad again, very soon (Applause). And if may use a very common expression I would say If it is not to be this arrangement, what ar rangement do you suggest to secure the peace of the world? It is a case of put up or shut ups

 ''If there had been nine days of dis eussion Germany would not have gone to war. If there had been nine days within which to bring to bear the opinion of the world the judgment of mankind upon the purposes of these governments they never would have dared to execute those purposes.

cases this Is because they are men
who before the war were unskflled
workers, but who because Of respon-
sibilities they have shouldered sue
cessfully during the war are now diff
ferent men from what they were be-
fore the war. They therefore want
better Jobs and better pay. In many
cases they are finding it difficult to
