This majestic structure will be spacious enough
TO house a multitude. The main auditorium occu-
pies floor space of $500 square feet, with gal
lery Of 10000 square feet giving seating capacity
of 1000 persons 1t will furnish room for inaugural

accommodate meetings Of smaller bodes-mtary,
patriotic, scientific educational, and similar con-

On the second floor is n banquet hall with

set apart the permanent national headquarters
Of societies Of veterans of reserve officers and

floors are planned to accommodate museum and

AN ERA OF PEACE
SEEN FOR JAPAN
Retired Diplomatist Discusses
Future Of the League Of
Nations.

A series of articles on the future of
the allied nations of the world and Ja-
pans relations to them, from the pen
of "Ryukei" Yano. a retired diplomatist
who was Japanese Minister to China In
1S97-iS9s, has appeared in the Toxic
Nichi-Nichi, from which the following
extracts have been made by the East
aud West NeUs: .......
1--WE should be as candid and open
minded as is humanity possible, and may
declare ourselves as follows: AS the
world has hitherto been a world OF ag-
gression II has been impossible for
Japan to forego the principle of agrees
sion as a means of self defence. An
era of peace under TIE League of Ma
tons has now opened. however, and as
there is no further apprehension regard
ing her safety Japan will make her
military strength an important instru-
ment with which to preserve the future
peace of the world
What is the future of the League of
Nations? Opinions differ. Some people
say the league Is only nominal and will
have no actual value; that, as OF old,
the various countries will continue to
promote their selfish interests. and that
the restriction Of ornaments will not be
carried out. To my way of thinking.
however, the general situation in the
world Is tending toward permanent
peace. 1t Is true that the present League
of Nations is still n half matured
scheme and of course is not perfect. but
great change has come over the
worlds situation as the human intellect
has made great advance.
"A certain section of the intellectual
classes in Europe and America which
was formerly regarded as the hotbed Of
n UQ al IVA hos Ior
verted to pacihsm. If things continue to
take their present course the League OF
Nations will be gradually perfected, and
further institutions designed to preserve
the peace of the world will be estab-
lished. such as an International general
star, an agreement to retrench arma-
ments and an international tribunal
The democratic tendency will become ac-
centuated in every country, and old
ideas regarding aggression will steadily
die out as years go by. That the world
situation will take this course is beyond
all doubt.
"Our purposes should be great and far
reaching our actions should not be con-
fined to the Orient. There is no doubt
that our purposes and actions directed
by scrupulous zeal to uphold the peace
or the world will be welcomed by all the
countries of the world, especially by
those people among whom democracy
has gained ground with an extension OF
popular rights. Japan's efforts In that
direction are In keeping with the trend
OF the world and are her mission.
Americans who insist upon the in
flexible maintenance of the Monroe Doc
trine are not sincere friends of the
worlds peace Were 1t not for the OPP
position OF Republican members Of the
United States Congress believe that
Mr.. Wilson would have advocated the
establishment OF an International gem
eral staff. with an international navy
and army. thus bringing the system OF
the League OF Nations nearer. perfec-

SIAMESE RAILWAYS
HOLD THEIR OWN
Report Made on Entire System
of Government Roads Re-
Gently Merged.

The report on the administration OF
the Siamese States Railways for the
year ended March 81. 1918, deals for the
hrst time with the entire system of
government railways. whereas formerly
n separate report was issued for the
northern and for the southern lines re-
spectively. The amalgamation of the
two lines under n commissioner general
was effected in 1917.
In the report as transmitted by Carl
c. Hansen, vice consul at Bangkok, the
workings OF the railway system are
dealt with under the subdivisions of the
Broad Gauge" which covess 946.2 kilo-
meters and embraces the northern line
OF $3.50 hlometers, the Bangkok Korate
line OF 264.1. the Sawankaloke line Of
2S.9, the Makasan line of 6.5, and the
Bangkok-Petriew line Of 63.4 kilometers :;
and the Marrow Gauge" which includes
the Bangkok Petchaburi line of ISL kilo-
meters; the Petchaburi line to Ootapao
Of 776; branch lines to Trang, Nakawn
Sritamarat and Slngora, of 1856; and
the OotapAo-Na Pradu line of 81 kilo-
meters.
The capital account of the broad
gauge at the end of the year under re-
view had reached total OF 5c,936,292
ticls (S22,176,42S). The gross earn
ing totalled 5.O2S,455 ticals (sl,S6o,52s).
an increase of 0.63 per cent. as COM
pared with the previous year.
The net dividend earned after deduct
ing the contribution to the renovation
fund was 4.46 per cent, against per
cent. in the previous year A total Of
2,57S,066 passengers were carried dur
ing the year. an increase of 9140 as
compared with the previous year, while
the goods carried amounted to 367,165
tens, the packages to 25,72S tons. and
the live stock to 151,743 head, exceed
ing the previous years totals by 7.12
per cent. in goods. per cent. in pack
ages, and 1928 head of cattle.
The total amount. expended on the
Marrow Gauge" up to March 81, 1918,
was 4.467.010 ticals Os1.652,794). The
ir come for the year amounted to 2,494,-
SIS ticals (s923,035). an increase of
1913 per cent. above that OF the
previous year. The dividend amounted
to only 1853 per cent, which, how
ever, exceeded the earnings of the
previous year by 0.0S per cent. The
number OF passengers carried was
1.721,437, an addition of 60,326 as COM
pared with the previous year. The traf-
fic in goods was 132,75e tons, In pack
ages 22.657 tons. in live stock 37.96S
head, an advance on last year of 1000
tons in goods of 2,625 tons in packages,
and decrease of 1863 head In cattle.
