afternoon. Daniel c. Stanwood. ESQ.,.

subject international Law, Its Pres
ent Limitations and Its Prospective

mastery address. Mr. Stanwood, who
has specialized in International Law
at Oxford University. being especial

It was the universal comment Of all
IN attendance that the speaker was
man OF great power Of expression.
OF trained observation. wide infor-
nation and with a remarkable grasp
of these tremendous world problems.
and very sane in his conclusions.
Mr.. Stanwood opened his address
by explaining the origin of the Gro
tan principles and showed that the
doctrines Of absolute sovereignty.
equality and territorial inviolibilty
which he enunciated were adapted
to application to autocratic states.
but failed to prove effective in the
world Of democratic states The point
was illustrated by reference to Aus
tria- Hungary. the sovereignty and
territory Of which was protected Ivy

ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Then the speaker passed to the
questions Of sanction and the func-
tons Of force as an element in law.
He stated that the encouraging fea-
ture OF the present situation were
the underground and deep moral con-
victions that were sweeping through
France. Britain and this country.
and that for the first time in the
worlds history we saw the passion
for justice and fair dealing coincii-
irg with the locus Of the physical
power.
At the close Of his address a recess
was declared and many members
went forward to speak to Mr.. Stan

The American Federation Of Labor

England, France, Italy = these
talked about general strikes to be

There was no general strike in any

In France the strike was called off

In Italy it was not called off, but
it failed to materialize.
In England it seems to have merely
faded out.
There has been a great deal of talk
about general strikes in the past few

Persons who like to think about

Ohio Was the First State to Demon
strate Clearly the Short Life
of Gas Fields.
DR.. John Adams BoVpocbeT, State
Geologist of Ohio

Natural gas is the finest fuel that
the world has ever known. In fact it
is the ideal fuel While its COM
bustlble property has been known for
centuries, its use in a large way has
been restricted to the past half CEN
tury. AS it's many advantages as a
fuel came to be understood the de-
mand for it both for domestic and in
dustrial purposes increased by leaps
and bounds, and is still increasing.
The supply, however, under most
favorable conditions is limited, and we
have now reached the stage in the in
dustry where it is difficult, if not i'm
possible, to meet the demand not only
of new consumers but of those who
have been relying on this fuel for
many years. In short we are haunted
by the specter of insufficient gas.
Ohio was the first state to demon
strate clearly the short life of gas
fields. The history of the Findlay
area occurs to US in this connection.
Discovered in 1884, it's career as a
large producer of gas was over by
1890. The Cleveland field furnishes
an excellent illustration. Gas in
the "Clinton" sand was discovered
ClACIC III AOAAs anu III q SIIOIG LuIl0 dL
least $50 strings of tools were at
work. In places a half dozen wells
were sunk where one would have been
adequate, and of course the sand was
rapidly depleted of it's gas supply.
By December, 1915, 80 wells were
abandoned, and at present only an
occasional we'll remains. Graphs al
ready shown of the Homer and Sugar
Grove fields indicate the fate of gas
territory where even a fair acreage
per we'll is allowed.
1t would be very gratifying to tell
that the outlook for a future. sup
ply of natural gas in the state
is bright; but the evidence, both
practical and theoretical, Indicates
the reverse It is we'll to repeat at
this time the fact that Ohio now pro-
duces about 40 per cent of the gas
which she consumes, and she must
continue to look elsewhere and at an
increasing rate for gas supply.
Conditions with reference to the
present and probable future supply of
natural gas in the Appalachian field
have been stated to the best of nv
ability and without bias. The situa-
tion is only fairly satisfactory for the
present, while the future is much
more uncertain. All depends on find
ing new territory in large area, and
for reasons previously stated the
prospects of such discovery are very
poor. At the best the supply on the
present enormous scale viii last for
only few years.

GROVER HAYES NOT .

RECENTLY HURT IN FALL
RECENTLY HURT IN FALL
BY SPICK HALL

"As Mark Twain once remarked on
q near funeral occasion. The reports
Of my death have been greatly exag-
gerated.' "
So spake Grover Hayes, one of the
greatest lightweight fighters that ever
donned the padded mitts in Philadel
phia, when asked If it were true that
he was dead as the result of fall at
a local shipyard on September ~. H.
had been laboring in the shipbuilding
same for two years.
Hayes was hobbling around on
crutches today at the Misericordia Hos
pital when he was requested to give the
real dope on his condition.
"No it isn't true that I'm dead" he
said, "I understand that the papers
|said had cashed in my checks, but I
haven't. Please correct this little mis-
take for me in the EVENING PUBLIC
|LEpeER. OF course as all of the
|papers had me dead, it may be hard for
|me to prove that Tn. not, but honest
I'm alive, and I hope that you will
| take my word for 1t rather than the
Idope that appeared in the public press. {"
Az Hayes said it is hard to believe
/ that he isn't dead when all of the Sun
(dsy newspapers of Philadelphia stated
yesterday that he had passed away, but
Hayes was always an honest man and
! an honest fighter, hence it is only right
5that this narrative should take prece-
1dence over the published reports of his
demise.
Hayes came to Philadelphia in 1905
from Chicago. He was brought here
1by the late Jack McGuigan, who for
5many years was one of the most promi-
nent fight promoters in the East.
HAYES is known here and elsewhere
~ ..The Battler," because he has en-
3raeed in more than 200 tilts in the ring.

TRIPLE BOAT TIE

Three Boats DeadIocked in
Each Class at Fine Della
ware Carnival

The final race Of the series Of three
for the title Of the Farragut Sports
mems Association, held on the Della
ware river yesterday, resulted in a
triple tie between three boats in each
of the two classes. No single boat COM
peting for the honors was able to reg
lister two victories during the season,
and as a result a special pair of races

class will be held Sunday, October D,
to determine the winners.
Charles Slemmer's May and Coombs's
Carrie Emma yesterday came through
with victories, totally surprising the
yachtsnen on hand watching the races.
The events we're staged on the pre-
vious performance system of handicaps,

many of the yachtsmen immediately

For the second time within two days
Harry Brightly's Hattie Bert suffered
a defeat in the attempt to clinch the

Coombs's Carrie Emma that pulled

The Carrie Emma crossed the line just
fifteen seconds ahead of her previous

Hattie Bert was twenty seconds be-
