Old Diplomatic Rules
Have Been Played Out

"1n sense the old enterprise of
national law is played out. | mean
that the future of mankind depends
more upon the relations of nations
to one another, more upon the reali-
zation OF the common brotherhood of
mankind, than upon the separate and
selfish development of national sys-
TENS of law so that the men who
can, if may express it so, think
without language, think the common
thoughts of humanity, are the men
who will be most serviceable in the
Immediate future
God grant that there may be
many of them, that many men may
see this hope and wish to advance it,
and that the plain man everywhere
may know that there is no language
of society in which he has no broth
crs or co-laborers, in order to reach
the great ends of equity and of high

it was later announced that q mass
meeting would be called at Madison
Square Garden tomorrow afternoon at

The proposal, it is understood. is
that the men return to work without
prejudice, leaving the adjustment of
wages and other matters in dispute
to William S. Carter, head of the wage

Offices in the Grand Central Terminal
building. After this meeting Mr..
Cowie, with the approval Of Messrs
Banks and Blackman, issued this state
ment:
"ln the prolonged discussion it de-

men had been the result Of more or

matters were all cleared up at the
conference and a thorough understand

differences between the management

No Treaty Can
Pacify Europe,
Says Vanderlip
Real Remedy Is Provision
of Machinery and Raw
Materials so Ma lions
May Help Themselves

LONDON, May 10 (By The Associated
Press. s).-"There are no terms written
in the treaty that can bring peace 10
Europe" said Frank A. Vanderlip, pres
ident of the National City Bank of New
York, to The Associated Press before
sailing for New York to-day, after sew
eral weeks in England and on the Con-
tinent. "The real treaty of peace will
be the plan whereby Europe will be
able to get machinery, rolling stock and
raw material and be placed in posi-
ton to help herself.
"The outstanding feature of the sit
uation is the paralysis Of production
Much could be said of the financial po-
sition in which each of the nations finds
itself, but | have come to see that
there is something fundamental even
in the solvency of nations. There is q
direct train Of events, which begins
with the halt of industry, idle work.
men, the cessation of production, want,
social unrest, and then the danger of
the final act of revolution.
81 doubt if America comprehends the
extent Of the paralysis of European in
dustry. Of course, we expect idleness
throughout the devastated districts
that is omparatively small region
but there is partial idleness throughout
the whole industrial area of Europe in
neutral as we'll as in belligerent coun-
tries.
"ln England more than million
people are receiving regular grants
from the government because of unem-
ployment, and the number is expected
to grow as the British army is further
demobilized. This is costing the Eng
lish government a million and a quar-
ter weekly. In Belgium 100000 are re-
ceiving unemployment aid.
"The government of Holland is Civ
ing subsidized food to meet the condi-
tions of unemployment. Italy is deal
ing with an army of unemployed. Great
industries in Poland are prostrate. In
Czech o-Slovakia the limits Of disor-
ganization have been reached. Even in
a purely agricultural country like Ru-
mania the farmers are without animals
and there is not enough seed to plant
the field; so that granary will have
nothing to send to its hungry neigh
bors from this years crops
"Wherevcr there is war there is
wholesale destruction of machinery
In the occupied regions of France and
Belgium | have seen even far back
of the battle lines ruthless destruction

having made the FIGHT in 6 hours and
"a minutes at an average speed of 65
nautical. or RI land miles, an hour.
Tha NC-3. pioted by Commander
iohn H. Towers. commander of the
flight, arrived at 1881 p M, Green
wch time (6:31 New York time), hav-
ing been compelled toeput back to Hal
lax for propeller repairs after flying
fifty miles from that harbor. The
flying time on the successful trip was
hours and 56 minutes, or two min
utcs more than that of the NC-1.
Final Success Predicted
Both planes appeared to be in the
pest OF condition upon their arrival,
and officers and crews expressed con-
fldence that the two "hops" across the
Atlantic TO Lisbon, Portugal, would be
made without difficulty.
Weather conditions permitting, it is
e.pcctcd that the flight to the Azores,
distance of 1900 miles, will be at
tempted next week. The date originally
liked for the big jump" from New

bic came less than an hour after the
start.
Strong Wind Combatcd
The NC-1 was sighted about fifteen
minutes before she glided down into
me harbor and a small seaplanc
brought here for weather observation
Work went out TO meet her. The small
plane was compelled to aligit outside
the harbor, however, because OF a
strong wind which the NC-l had COM
Dated all the way from St. Pierre.
The NC came into the harbor from
me east, flying low. After she had
peen moored the aviators boarded the
mine layer Aroostook, where hot
meal and comfortable sleeping quar-
teis awaited them.

Will not say the audacity. but the
steadiness of purpose which is nee
esSary in such novel circumstances.
And we must not be afraid of new
things, at the same time that we
must not be tolerant of old things.
We must weave out of the old ma
terials the new garments which it is
necessary cnat men should wear.
ut is great privilege if we can do
that kind of thinking for mankind.
human thinking, thinking that is
made up of comprehension of the
needs of mankind. And when think
of mankind | must say | do not al
ways think of well-dressed persons.
Most persons are not we'll dressed.
The heart of the world is under verv
plain jackets.
Heart of World Found
At Simple Firesides
THE heart of the world is at very
simple firesides. The heart of the
world is in very humble circum-
stances, and unless you know the
pressure OF life of the humber
classes you know nothing of life
whatever Unless you know where
the pinch comes you do not know
what the pulse has to stand, you do
not know what strain the muscle has
to bear, You do not know what trial
the nerves have to go through to
hold on
TO hold on where there is no glee
in life is the hard thing. Those of
us who can sit sometimes at leisure
and read pleasant books and think
of the past, the long past, that we
have no part in, and project the long
future, we are not specimens of
mankind. The specimens of man
KIND have not time to do that, and
we must use our leisure when we
have it to feel with them and think
for them, SO that we can translate
their desire into fact, so far as
that is possible, and see that most
complicated and elusive of all things
that we call justice is accomplished.
An easy word to say, and noble
word upon the tongue, but one of the
most difficult enterprises Of the hu-
man spirit!
1T is hard to be just to those with
whom you are intimate; how much
harder it is to conceive the problems
of those with whom you are not IN
innate, and be just to them. To
live and let live, to work for people
and with people, is at the bottom of
the kind of experience which must
underlie justice.
THE sympathy that has the slight
est touch of condescension in it has
no touch Of helpfulness about it. If
you are aware of STOPPING to help
man you cannot help him. You must
realize that he stands on the same
earth with yourself and has heart
like your own, and that you are help
ing him standing on that common
level and using that common impulse
of humanity

'ANNUNzI0 APPEALS
 TO WORLD AT LARGE
Makes Stirring Plea in Behalf
 Of Plume

Rome, Sept. 14.-"I a war volun- teer and Dutilated fighter, appeal to Victor Hugo's France, to M;lton's Eng land and Lil,colrs America. and speaking as an interpreter of the val orous sentiments of the whole Italian peeple proclaim the annexation of Plume to Italy," said Captain Ga or1ele 'Annunzio, speaking to an inn merse thrcng the day his 'irregular F" forces marched into Plume, according to reports reaching this city.
 Captain d'Annunzio, who is reported to have been quite ill and suffering a, high fever when he reached Plume went to the comm ar ders palace, be. ing borne along by crowd that seemed crazed with patriotic fervor. After entering the palace, he was asked to speak, and at once went to the balcony overlooking the crowd.
 1T am so i'll that I will say but 2 few words,' he tegan, with simple ges- ture. Tn the present. mad, coward 1y world there is one pure thing-our love for Plume. Plume stands like a over the sea of degradatio People of Fiume, do you confirm vour vote of October 30, last when vol, decided for arn exation to Italy?"
New Britain herald., 1919-09-18

Up from the crowd came a tre- mendous 'yes."
 Captain d'Annunzio then unfurled the tri-colored flag of Trieste, which he bore With him throughout the war and which was consecrated in Rome, pressing 1t to his lips while the people responded with wild cheers.
 Captain d'AnnunziO has a, force of more than 10, 900 men, which has oc- cupied the line separating Plume from Jugo-SlaV territory. This line has been strongly fortified. An immedi- ate inventory of the contents of ware houses was ordered, and it was found there wa a lack of meat and vegetables, but great quantities of wheat, flour. rice and sugar, which may afford sustenance for the city, should it be blockaded. Stirring scenes occurred when the d'Annunzio troops marched into Plume. When the first motor lorries hearing the sol dlers made their appearance they were surrounded by crowds, girls springiDg on the lorries and on arm ored motor cars and decorating them With flowers and green branches. It took an hour for the column to make it's way to Plaza Dante in the center Of the city. Inere the troops were welcomed by pr. Grossich, president of the Plume national council.
 You have by your action achieved what neither the present nor any past government could do," he exclaimed amid applause Now Plume is defin- itely annexed to Italy. Plume is now sister to other Italian cities. Italy Is in command here new
 pr. Antonio Vio, IT ayor of Plume, greeted Captain d'Annunzio and warn ed the people agaist mischief makers who, he declared, would mot fail to create trouble.' During the whole day the city remained in a state of feverish joy.

New Haven, Sept. 1S.-An official inquiry by the Northeastern depart ment awards to the 104th U. $. h. fantry the capture of the 210-nlil.i- meter gun now on Boston Common over the claim of Company B of the 102d Infantry. The question of per manent location of the trophy had provoked controversy, as New Haven claim ed 1t because Company B was originally formed here and had off cers from this city. The squad which claimed capture belongs here. A re- port was made public by Lieutenant P. H. English today. The 102d is given credit for capture of a gun of like caliber from the Germans in the Chateau-Thierry sector on July 21 and p, 1918, which probably was sal vaged by the French in the rear of the 18th Division.
