Woman Judge Favors Outlawins
War.

Hot Springs, Ark, April 23.-
A world law making war a crime
and providing suitable punishment
for it, was advocated today by
Judge Florence E. Allen of Cleve-
land in an address before the ma
tional convention Of the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association, in
which she declared that America
should call a meeting of the world
for the express purpose Of out
lawing war"
When there is no law against
war we cannot even begin to en-
force the greatest rule Of equity
between nations. the law of the
sacredness OF life said Judge AL
len. who was the first woman Judge
| of common pleas court in the
United States.
Those who rely completely upon
world court for achieving peace
forget that such court cannot stop
war until there is a law forbidding
war. 1t is SO in our ordinary
courts If I have before me the
mos. heinous murderer. l cannot
| try him, much less sentence him,
unless there is a law defining and
; providing for the punishment of
murder. Any fighting, unless in
self defense, between individuals is
! criminal: any killing unless in self
defense. is murder. We have to
| make the world agree that inter-
national fighting. unless in self de-
fense, is criminal and is murder"
Judge Allen would adapt the
modern code from the ancient and
| make Thou shalt not war the
basic principle Of the international
law. She eXhorted American wo-
! men 10 take advantage Of the vote
for not only local and national,
but world good.
Shall we American women, ir-
;; vested with new power in govern
ment be inarticulate and nerve
| less?" she asked. Now is the
crucial time. and if the peoples Of
the world fail to grasp their op-
portunity. we shall stagger on.
physical and moral cripples TO the
spring of new strifes. We cannot
escape our liability. We have duty
of making ourselves articulate, Of
demanding that the peace on earth
spirit enter into world politics
Judge Allen advised subordina-
ting local affairs to international
questions, stating that it was more
vital TO any citizen to know who is
secretary Of state than who is may
or Of ones own town or governor
of ones state
We have to know shat the
government is doing and demand
that right be done" she continued
But most of all we must concen-
! trate intelligently for the abolition
of war as q means Of settling inter-
national disputes. We must de-
mand that war, like murder, be
outlawed"

Praise for Federal Reserve System

Toledo, o.. April 2G.-That the
Federal Reserve system of the
United States had done great ser
vice 10 the world and was a decid-
ing factor in winning the war for
the allies was the statement made
here to bankers representing the
Toledo Clearing House association
by John Jacob Arnold, of the Bank
Of Italy.
Mr. Arnold WHO represents his
institution in its foreign service in
this country said in part:
Previous to the great war Eu-
ropean bankers looked upon the
banking system of the United
States as {; rather incomplete af-
fair. but since the establishment OF
the Federal Reserve system tho
completeness Of your banking sys-
tenn is recognized by all the great
bankers OF the world Especially
are the London bankers apprecia-
tive Of it makeup and "esults it
has achieved since its beginning" :"
Arnold said he believed the
country was we'll on the way to
permanent recovery from the CT
fects of :he war. He said the
great need was production in the
famished countries Of Europe. The
vanquished should be sold raw
materials and their manufactured
articles bought in order for them
TO pay their debts. he declared,
continuing that there can be no
permanent business prosperity
until foreign trade relations are on
firm basis.
