Five million aliens came to the United
States between 1900 and 1910. and nearly
four million came between January l.
1910 and January /. 1915. It is no dis
parasemcnt to say that these aliens
came from the lower classes Of European

Wilson's speech at Boston is to be

Attic no formal league speeches
have been announced, the air is so full
of argument on the subject that debate
may break out at any time.

ment of the league legislation were
not greatly impressed today with Will

speaking tour was being financed by
some mysterious interests. which ac-
cording to published reports is being
sedulously kept in the background.

The COST HEAVY
$1,2OO,OOO,OOO a Year for 25
Years for the War.
That Is What the Z. s. People
VIII Have To Pay.

Washington, Feb. est will cost
the American people about $780,
00O,0 a year for the next twenty
five years to pay off the war debt. ac-
cording to estimates of the treasury,
based on incomplete knowledge of pre-
cisely what the final war debt will be.
This calculation is made on the as
sumption that the net war debt, with
deductions for loans to the allies, will
be in the neighborhood of $1S,00O,-
100000; interest on this amount at
the rate of AN per cent would be
1855, 100000 a year to be raised by
taxes, and then repaid to bondhold-
ers. In addition about S417, 100000
would have to be provided every year
as sinking fund to redeem all bonds
in twenty-five years.
This would require a cumulative
sinking fund provision of 2.32 per
cent. Congress has not yet author
lied establishment of a sinking fund
as recommended by Secretary Glass.
Treasury officials assert that if this
authorization is given, bonds might be
bought upon the market each year or
called for redemption at the periods
provided in terms under which they

TO MAKE WAR IMPOSSIBLE
Copyright, 1913. by the United Press,

Copyright, 1919. by the United Press.)
Paris, Feb. rs. - Revolutionary
changes in International naval laws.
which fitting in with the rules of the
league of nations, would make war
virtually impossible, are now under
discussion. Regulations under which
munitions are shipped from neutrals
to warning countries would be COM
pletelY overturned. Under their oper-
alton freedom of the seas would not
be theoretical, but real.
The United Press is able to state
that the principal points favored by
the peace delegates regarding NUM-
tionS shipments in the future are:
1. Each nation shall be held respon-
sible for any unneutra1 act by its citi-
Zens.
Establish All Contraband.
2. All contra band must be estab-
lished at the outbreak of the war; and
lists cannot be changed during the
period of hostilities.
3. AS carrying contraband natural
~ is forbidden. the flag of non-war-
ring nation flying over a ship would
be a guarantee that she was not car
rying munitions or other prohibited
materials.
4. If 2 ship arouzes suspicion and
is stopped within a restricted area,
search shall be limited to investiga-
ton of cher papers to determine her
nationality.
5. If a ship of a non-warring power
is discovered carrying contra band, that
nation shall be subject to punishment
by the league of nations, economically
or otherwise, as the executive council
recommends.
Must Make Own Munitions.
1t is obvious that under such rules
no nation will be able to carry on a
war beyond the limit of her own pro-
duction of munitions The practice
of buying munitions from a non-war-
ring power by payment of enormous
prices and obtaining shipment thru
shippers taking the risk-as hereto
fore done-would be eliminated by
point one, as carrying contraband
would be a distinct violation of the
law, and the nation from which a ship
was sailing would ascertain that she
carried no contraband, as a measure
Of se1f-protection.
There would be no neutral power in
the strict sense, after establishing the
despite the rigidness of the league laws
some powers would start to engage in
a war, these new regula tons would
act as a further deterrent. If a bel
ligerent violated the rules governing
its movements at sea. it would bring
upon it the judgment of the league,
while violation by acknowledgement
would render the latter an accomplice
in war-making.
AS the discussion progresses. the
idea that is constantly brought to the
fore front is not to frame rules under
which war can be humanely conduct
ed, but to render war impossible.
