Peace Without Armaments


On April is, 100 years ago, there &C.
Cured IN event of the utmost signif-
icance. Few persons ever heard of it
because our histories are mainly silent
thereon.
On that dsy President Monroe Issued
a proclamation telling our citizens of
the Crush Baggot arrangement.
Who was Rush? Who was Baggot?
What the arrangement?
Rush was an American statesman;
Baggot a British: the arrangement a
splendid method of avoiding interna-
tional trouble, a method prophetic of
future world possibilities. Here's the
story:
Our war of 1912 ended by both bellig-
erents agreeing to the terms of the
treaty of Ghent-a treaty of "no an
nexations and no indemnities'' signed
Christmas eve, 1914, and good today.
Soon thereafter Monroe was ad-
vised by Adams, u Minister in Lon
don, that Britain intended putting
more and mor war vessels on the
Great Lakes, our Northern Boundary.
Were this done, Monroe realized that
this country must do the same. He
therefore wrote to Adams that if
Britain followed this European militia
rlstic method there would be tvast
expense incurred" by both countries,
the danger of collision' would be in
creased and the rivalry in ornaments
would prove a constant stimulus to
suspicion and i'll will;" and urged that
both countries should "abstain alto
gether from an armed force beyond
that used for revenue"
Britain for many months refused
assent to his views. Adams, after
talking to Lord C~astlereagh Oh Jan .25,
1916, wrote that Britian's acceptance
of the proposal appeared hopeless"
Monroe, however, persisted. He
showed that ''the moral and political
tendency of such a system (the old
European) must be to war and not to
peace"
Finally, after much discussion,
good sense triumphed yer prejudice
and precedent, and on April 28, 1918,
Monroe had the satisfaction of pro-
claiming to our nation the signing of
the Rush Baggot arrangement, by
which the contending countries agreed
to do away with all ships of war on the
Great Lakes; any already thereon
were to be dismantled; any in course
of building converted to other use,
and only four little revenue cutters, or
patrol vessels, were to be permitted
for each nation on the entire river
and lake system. Through a further
s'tacit understanding no additional
forts demarcate the frontier lines.
The success of this American system,
this Monroe Doctrine, is as obvious as
it was inevitable.
"Where nobody is loaded nothing
explodes." The dove of peace set
tied on our Northern border and has
barely rufied her silver wings in a
Century.
1t is the spread of this successful
American system that must rescue
Europe from its present recrudescence
of barbarbism now rushing civilization
back to chaos. Surely the centenary
of such a remarkable ''arrangement"
is at least worth a pa ssing remem-
brance and comment!

E'OX'S.

Wallace Reid, who is starred in
 ''You're Fired" a new Paramount
 production, which is booked at Fox's
 theater for the last three days of this
 week, seems to be delighted that he
 again has an opportunity to express
 himself in a comedy role as bis acting in thiS picture hich opened this aft
 ernoon shows more than the custom
 ary Reid portrayal. There is some
 thing in his actions that resemble the
 behavior of man who has long been
 away from his customary pursuits
 and then of 8 sudden is given that
 which is more to his liking. In
 You're Fired MT. Reid has a part
 that he can handle and handle well.
 The story is a light affair that will
 give an entertaining hour and let one go home with the impression that jury has found him not guilty of some monstrous crime. "You're Fired" is a trouble dispeller of the most dis polling type. A young man. desires the hand of a rich mans daughter The father is willing but looking ahead for his daughters welfare he l makes the stipulation that the young man shall find work and not get fired once during his three months of pro- 1 bation. It seemed awful easy to the 1 boy and a job he gets or rather nu- | merous jobs are found and he gives l each one trial but he Sees to it that 1 he never gets fircd-no, he always leaves before his boss has time to l kick him out. There are hearty laughs l right on throughout this pleasant film I In fact. this story is a conscience l cleanser right up until the exactins g 1 father is forced to fire the young man 1 Where? Why, right into his daugh- l ter's arms of course. Miss Germain, l the female Bill Hart, appears in a 1 two reel Western drama, "The Call of Bob White.'

 T don't want Jim to do anything snight that will keep you from the 8ovies," she said. ''But I've heard of desk and drawing board that l want ! buy. l need them 'while I'm here #1the Mrs, Graham, and I find I can

I confess I waited with curious in kregt to hear what Lillian would say k Jim. I had caught my breath with

admiration at the clever manner lh which she had forestalled Katie's pos sible curiosity by telling the truth, which yet was not a truth. Jim "ouiu be able to go upon his errand without being annoyed by questions fro" h's temperamental wife.
 I could imagine the life Jim "ou'u i, lead if Katie got an idea that Ae "'" employed upon some mysterious e' rand which he must keep SOUL ~ from her. She would have the IrulA out of him in no time buI "A"i. Katie satisfied, knew that Jim Wou'o volunteer no further 1ntorhlatloI 'o her. and as for his betraylng our coh- fdence to anyone else, khe" that wild horses could not draw a slnglo syllable from him.
 ..Sit down. Jim." Lillian pushed forward chair, and he sat down ill it awl1wardly. Did Katie tell you what we wanted of you?'
 She said something about yonr wanting me to get a desk and a board from some place that wouldn't deliver them," he replied slowly, evidently anxious to get his message straight.
 Jim's Word.
 That's what we want Katie to think, and you must not tell her otherwise" Lillian said impressively.
 [ saw a startled look dash into Jim's eyes, but he impassively kept silent, waiting for her next words.
 'tMrs Graham and I have a friend who is in serious trouble" Lillian went on slowly. There is a way ia which we can help her by keeping a desk which belongs to her until she is able to take care of it herself. But it must not be known to certain peo- pie that Mrs. Graham has the desk"
 Lillian paused, evidently for the more careful framing of her words. But I was watching Jim's open face. At the pronoun 'her''. which Lillian had used I had seen an incredulous look flash into his eyes and suspected that Jim had recognized the fact that the friend we were trying to help and shield was Kenneth Stockbridge.
 'I do not know just yet where you will be sent after the desk" Lillian went on. But I want you to be ready all day tomorrow to go any where at minutes notice, and above all things you must give Katie no 1 inkling that your errand is other than she thinks | am telluS you thus now so that you may realize the i,u- 1 portance of this errand and be ready 1 for it-'' ',s. t Katie nor anybody else won't heal nothing from me- Jim said earnestly { and I guess Mrs. Graham knows { that if there's anything she wants done and it's a possible thing for. pne to do it, it's as good as done.', .,a9
 His eyes were turned on me witt ] loyalty and fidelity that warmed ms :. heart. Jim is one of those rarities o1 this earth, a man who remembers l kindnesses done and tries to repay them. I have known always, under. | standing my little maids volatile ma l ture so we'll. that Katie, devoted as { she is to me, upon several occasion: would have left my service in the hea, :, of her tempestuous outbursts of anger had her husband not restrained he' by his rugged common sense ant loyalty.
 This task which Lillian had laiG ! upon Jim would be beautifully per formed. She could have chosen nc better henchman.
