WOMEN ORGANIZE
TODEMAND PEACE
Official of Women's Peace
Union of Western Henri
sphere Tells Aims.
WORLD PEACE IS GOAL

Mrs. Edward Thomas, secretary of
the Women's Peace Union Of the
Western Hemisphere discusses the or
ganization of the association for the
benefit of women throughout the
country who are urged to petition
for complete disarmament:
eff you don't ask for complete dis
armament you will never have it.
That is why group Of women of
Canada and the United States met at
Niagara Falls in August and founded
the Women's Peace Union of the
Western Hemisphere.
Must Not Take Human Life.
We believe that under no circum-
stances is it right to take human life.
We pledge ourselves to work for world
peace and we leave our organization
open to any woman living in the West
ern Hemisphere who agrees never, un-
der any circumstances, to take part in
the hideous business of man killing.
If women had not asked for complete
suffrage we would not have it. Now
is the time to ask for complete peace
If two nations can live as Canada
and the United States have for a
hundred years why cannot every
nation do the same?
We believe it is possible to have
complete, immediate and universal
disarmament. And the way to dis
arm is to disarm.
We do not believe in scrapping bat
tleships to protect the chemical in
dustry. Along that line we have sent
the following resolution to the Ameri-
can Chemical society:
For Constructive Work.
We believe that it should be the
part of science to redeem history from
being record Of crimes, follies and
misfortunes. We appeal to you to do
constructive work instead of devoting
science to the devising of poison gases
and other destructive agencies. The
world is weary Of war Economically
sick, it is in sore need of the aid of
those who can solve the difficulty.
Now that we have suffrage and
women are beginning to understand
why, under existing economical condi-
tons and Imperialism, military sys-
tenn is a means to an end, they get the
full significance of Bismarcks' state
ment:
"Any fool can govern by mill
tary rule"
Women have it in their power TO-
day to create public opinion for
peace that will be more enduring than
armament. And so, as the disarma-
ment conference convenes we send this
greeting to them:
Women from pole to pole-unite!
Safeguard against war.
Peace knows no boundary.
Peace knows no enemy.
Peace has no trade barrier"

Remember Ride on
Dewitt Clinton Train
tBy United Press)

Lansing, Mich.-The tour of the De-
witt Clinton On. Y. CO. train through
Michigan brought to light that this
state can claim first honors in the mat
ter of having among it's residents first
passengers of the old pioneer Of the
twentieth century limited.
Mrs. Maryanne Mann, ninety, Grand
Rapids, claims to be the only living
woman who rode on the train during
it's period of operation. She was en-
thusiastic in describing her expert
ences when the train visited her To-
cality, claiming it was unsafe" for
children.
Despite her assertion, John T. Ber-
ner, ninety-six, marshall, claimed to
be the only living person who made
the initial trip with the train, says he
found riding comfortable at the age of
six, when his father, the conductor of
the train, took him on the first jour
ney. Berner was wheeled to the sta
ton at Marshall to view the old De-
witt Clinton on her exhibition trip
through the state.

ASKS AMERICA
TO KEEP IDEALS
DIR. Andrew Mclaughlin
Points Out Lesson of
Monroe Doctrine.
WAS NOT FOR Us

Pleading for America to keep scored
and inviolate the ideals which gave
birth to the Monroe Doctrine and made
it real power in the world history,
DR.. Andrew Mclaughlin, head of the
department of history in the Univers-
ity of Wisconsin, delivered scholarly
and interesting lecture at the Elks
club on Friday evening as the second
number of the course which is being
presented by Mrs. z. G.. Simmons. By
brief review of the trend of world
politics since the time that Columbus
landed in the new world until the
present day, the speaker pointed out
that the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine
had dominated the American people
and that spirit had helped to make
them the greatest nation on the globe.
"For centuries after the discovery of
the new world, America was a pawn
in the game of European politics." de-
clared the speaker. "When the Thir-
teen Colonies broke the bond of Eng
land, they started the course which
finally severed America from European
entanglemepts.
soul of America"
"The American people then took
their destiny seriously and they had
belief in a glorious future. With
the courage of these convictions they
faced the world. The Monroe Doc
trine was merely the stating of the
soul Of America"
The speaker then told Of the condi-
tions under which President Monroe
with the aid of John Quincy Adams,
formulated the famous message to
Congress, which in other words declar-
ed eve will stay away from Europe
and you will stay away from America
and American continents are now clos
ed to colonization" He told how a
stubborn adherence to the doctrine had
nearly brough US to war several
times, but each time we had emerged
successful. He also showed how the
practice of the doctrine had in recent
years been wrapped up in "Canal Di-
plomacy."
Not for Ourselves.
One of the interesting things point
ed out by the speaker was that while
the Monroe Doctrine protected other
American Republics from European in
reference, it did not protect them
from the United States. eff we do
not play right with these South Am
erican countries, sooner or later we will
have to suffer for it," warned the
speaker as he commented on the sit
uation. eve must do the just thing,
the right thing and the helpful thing.
We do not want any Irelands or Po-
lands on the conscience of the United
States"
1t was to be regretted that time
prevented the speaker from touching
on the effect which the recent war
had on the Monore Doctrine.

Hilarious Party at Maple
Inn Turns Into Near
Shooting Fest.
ARREST ONE GIRL
Lucille Smith Resents Being
Called Anything Except
perfect Lady,.

Maple Inn, a resort that has had an
unsavory reputation in court circles
and which has been the cause Of con-
siderable trouble in the police and the
sheriff's forces, broke into the lime
light once more when near-shootlng
affair at 1881 Salem avenue brought to
light that moonshine was flowing free
ly at the old-time resort.
Four men have been taken into GUS
today and one woman charged with
violations of the liquor laws. John
Jonissn will answer to the charge of
drawing a gun upon Lucille Smith and
her two confederates whose names were
not disclosed by the district attorney
are being held for questioning.
Drew Gun On Lucille.
After a rather strenuous party at
Maple Inn on Sheridan road it is said
that Lucille Smith accompanied by the
two men whose names are withheld at
present, left that resort and went to
ISL Salem avenue where apparently
Lucille was we'll known. After a few
preliminary remarks Ehe bartender,
John Jonissn, drew gun upon Lucille
and ordered her to go the back room,
it was said The two men who were
with Lucille protested and it was said
that it looked very much as If lead
would fly.
1t was then that Acting Desk Ser
geant Kirsch and officers Greb and
Clifford answered the riot call and
brought the party to the city lookup
Julious Schmidt, 772 Seventh avenue
was in the rear room of the saloon and
was just about to take drink of moon
shine which he avered that Jonissn has
poured out for him.
Is An Old Offender.
The entire party was questioned
closely by Chief of Police Logan and
Detective Rock this morning. Lucille
objected strenuously to any assumption
that she had been doing anything
wrong but it is known that rather
strong pressure has been brought to
bear upon her in the near past to force
her to tell about other parties that she
has been in. After close examination
the party was taken to the office of
the district attorney where they were
again put to close examination by
district attorney and Judge lCarkson.
