TO Be Presented to Com.
ing Congress in New York

Ten new commandme will be pre-
sented to the followers Of Abdul Bahai
tomorrow at the Bahai congress, which
viii assemble at the Hotel McAlpin.
The commandments, from the Persian
of BAHIA Ollah, predecessor of the pres
ent leader of she society, are:
10 son Of man! Vert thou to OBJ
serve mercy thou wouldst not regard
thine own interest, but the interest of
mankind. Vert thou to observe Justice
choose thou for others what thou choos-
eth for thysclf
tableware of prejudice; light is
good in whatsoever lamp it is burning
rose is beautiful in whatsoever gar
den 1t may bloom. A star has the same
radiance if it shines from the East q,
the West.
"lll~-O yc tyrants on earth! With
draw your hands from oppression, for
have vowed to pass not over any ones
oppression.
"lV~~O son Of existence, Attribute
not to any soul that which thou de-
slrcst not to be attributed to thysclf
and do not promise that which thou
dost not fulfil. This is my command 10
thee; obey it,
"V-O son Of cXistcncci Examine
thy deeds each day, before thou art
judged, for death will suddenly over.
t.l
judge thee.
"VT-O brothers.! Deal with one an
other in patience; sever your minds
from the world; boast not thyself whcr
in honor, and be not ashamed in abase
mcnt. declare by my beauty that
have created ye all from the dust, ano
to dust shall | turn yc again.
"VIl-O son Of cxistcnccl BE not en-
crossed with this world, for with fire
we test the gold. and with gold VIC try
the servants.
"VIII--O son of man. Breathe no
the sins Of aItJ one as long as thou ar
a sinner. If you docst contrary to thi,
comnUnd thou art not Of me; TO this |
bear witness.
ak O yc who are wealthy on earth
The poor among we arc my trust
Therefore guard my trust and be no

The source OF all these utter
anccs is justice. 1t Is the freedom OF
man from superstition and imitation,
that he may discern the manifestations

Formal Peace
90 Days After
Treaty Signing 9
New Term Clause Provides
Date for Ratification and
Transition from War Basis
for Beliigerent Nations

PARIS. April "a (By The Associated d
Press "A clause has been drafted for
insertion in the peace treaty fixing the
date for the transition to a state of
peace sixty days after the signing of
the treaty. If the treaty is signed
about May Is peace thus will become
effective throughout the world July 10
The purpose of this provision is to
prevent confusion among the more
than twenty belligerent nations, which
might fix different dates in their var-
Gus ratihcations. According to the
present pyan each nation Will ratify
the treaty according to its own laws.
but all will unite in common date
which viii become universal day of
peace.
This follows the precedent estab
lished at the conclusions Of previous
wars. but it is increasingly necessary
in the present case owing to the large
number Of nations signing tho treaty.
II IS bong considered whether the
United states, hs an associated power.
but not M My, should sign ~ separate
tfeaty Of pence with Germany. II
would be the same treaty hR that signcd
~ the Allies and would be signed nt
the ramo time hs part OF The same
ceremony, but the effect of The sep
nrhtc troaty would be to preserve the
position Of the United States ha an
associated, instead Of an allied, power,
and would be "A direct engagement be-
tween the United States and Germany
instead Of between the United states
and a large number Of other Allied
powers.
Count Won Brockdorr Rantzau in
his asst reply, stated that the German
plen potentiaries had been designated
with the idea that pour parlcurs will
occur simultaneously with the deliv-
cry Of the prcliminarios Of peace"
This expectation to engage in discus
sion from the outset is leading to a
careful scrutiny Of President Wilson's
fourteen points, as intimations have
been received that the chief discussion
will be whether the treaty accords
with those points.
One expert engaged in this scrutiny
says the principal discussion will oc-
cur over the fifth point, relative 70 the
German colonies, and the second
which provides for free, open and
absolute freedom of the seas"
The fifth point provides for "frcc,
open and absolutely impartial adjust.
mcnt Of all colonial claims" The
treaty ends Germany's control of her
former colonies, with the league Of ma
tions establishing mandatories.
Whether this accords with the pro
vision for "free and open adjustment
Is expected to figure in the pourpar-
lers. The second point, concerning the
freedom of the seas, has not figured
during the discussion of the treaty
and the attitude to be finally adoptc ed
has not been announced.

spent more than half billion dollars
appropriated by the city.
Justice Hotchkiss held the Commits
sioner Of Accounts has power to ex-
anime the accounts of all elective as
we'll as appointive officers. Justice
Hotchkiss showed that the Board of
Estimate this year appropriated for ex-
penses of the Board of Education
S3,O25,O00 in excess of the statutory
amount equalling the 4 910 mills of
taxation raised by the municipality
This sum had been requested by the
similar awards made by the board.
Then the court added:
Although the city authorities have
no control over the salaries of the
teaching staff yet they fix the salaries
OF all other civilian employees of the
board. Under the city charter
they have the power to prescribe rea-
sonable terms and conditions under
which the money provided by its
budget shall be expended.
Doubtless, in naming the Board of Edu-
cation as one of the city's administra-
tive departments, the Legislature had
ince of the board in that behalf, and
the perfectly consistent distinction be-
tween its Independence as state
agency in matters pertaining TO public
education, considered as a function of
the state, and it's relation to the city
with respect to matters purely munich
pal and administration of these mat
ters by the city through the agency
of the board. This duality of agency
on the part of a public official has
been recognized in the case of the
County Clerk"
Corporation Counsel Burr declared
there was no intention, as charged by
members of the Board of Education, to
interfere with the pedagogical work
of the board, and the sole object of the
investigation was TO ascertain how the
taXpAYers' money is expended.

Supreme Court Justice Hotchkiss
yesterday ordered r. NJ. Cook, auditor

before David Hirschtield, Mayor Hy-
lan's Commissioner OF Accounts, and

Immediately following the decision
Corporation Counsel Burr declared
the verdict victory for Mayor Hylan,
who contcnded the city had the right
to examine the financial methods and
accounts of the Board of Education.
Mayor Hylan also issued a state
ment in which he declared be could
not understand why the board had re-
fused to let Controller Craig or Com
missioner Hrschheld examine it's ac-
counts, and attacked the board of re-
gents for coming here to Investigate
the controversy between the city and

The Board of Education refused to
permit the city authorities to examine
it's accounts. contending it was a state
body and subject only to jurisdiction
of the Board of Regents or the State
Department of Education.

The other statement follows:
"The conference now meeting al

Of the Monroe Doctrine. Some gov
ernments, friends of Mexico, have
asked Mexico for it's opinion regard
ing the doctrine, and the Mexican De
partment of Foreign Relations has
answered that the Mexican govern

Mexico's substitute for the Monroe
Doctrine so far as its own affairs are
concerned is the Carranza Doctrine,
which was thus summed up in The

Once Recognized II

WASHINGTON, April 24.--The State
Department late to-day announced it
had received advccs from Mexico City
giving the text of the statements by
the Mexican Foreign Office and pub
lished in Mexico City newspapers. The
adviccs to the State Dcpartm also
announced the recall of the Mexican
agent in Paris.
Officials recalled that on at least one
occasion Mexico recognized the Monroe
Doctrine. At the close of the Civil
War the United States applied the
Monroe Doctrine in Mexico to the case
of Emperor Macmillan, at the behest
of the Mexicans, and the friendship of
the United States for Mexico had a
large part in giving that country the
moral strength to throw off the i'm
perial yoke and execute the Emperor.
WASl1INGTON. April "a. Failure of
the Allied powers to invite Mexica
to participate in the conference Of
ncutrnls at Paris has aroused Presi-
dent Carranza to bitter resentment,
which has been enhanced by the lnco1-
poration of recognition Of the Monroe
Doctrine IN the covenant Of Che league

Pig Headed Conduct
Of Selfish Capitalists In Past
Cause Of Unhappy Condi- >
tons of Today, declares
Ga1en Starr Ross.

Boston, Mass, In addressing a
meeting of the members of the AS
sociated Industries on a plan to pro-
duce industrial peace, at the Copely-
Plaza, Galen Starr Ross, of New York,
industrial peace as the
one big question of the day and urged
IAN efficiently organized, scientifically
conducted campaign of education to
bring the truths of industrial peace to
the back of the mind and bottom of
the heart of every individual, whether
a worker at the bench, in the office or
on the road as part of the sales ma
chinery.' These truths he defined as
"the truths about the principles and
forces necessary to the scientific con
duct of anything which accumulates
earnings for the stockholders or in
come for the worker"
''The unhappy conditions of today
between labor and capital" he declar-
ed, "are reaction from the pigheaded
conduct in the past on the part of
reactionary, selfshly-inspired capital
istic interests, which did not realize
that the human elements would make
its way into industrial science"
He said that in teaching the funda-
mental principles of cooperation and
the requirements of scientifs produc-
ton, there should be regular meetings
with addresses by staff of speakers
trained for the purpose.

Refnrest Bare Hillsides.

The scarcity of lumber for mine pill
lars and other mine uses has led to
the creation of forestry department
by several of the large mining COM
panies, one Of which has just refor-
ested Bear creek watershed with 5000
white pine and 5000 Norway spruce
trees.
Thirty thousand more trees are IN
process of cultivation at Hauto, Pa,
In the Panther Greek valley. When
timber is ready to cut in the vicinity
of the mines troublesome waits and
long hauls will be eliminated.
More timber in the anthracite re-
gion would stop floods, add to the
water supply, reduce the drought pc

try to add to its output. Many thou
sands of acres are available about the
mines for reforestation.
