of moonshine had been made. This
kind of intoxicant is said to be very
popular and to find ready sale at all
times.
Near Graves Station he found an
other stiff not so ambitious as the one
mentioned above, this one being a
simple lard can affair which was, new

quantity OF the joy-giving liquid.

PEACE PROBLEMS
TOPIC OF ADDRESS
National and International
Viewpoint Given by CoI..
S. c. VeStaI.

Problems of international peace are
best worked out through the knowl-
edge of national peace problems, Col.
Samuel c. Vestal instructor of the
Army War College. declared in an
address on Maintenance of Peace"
before the reserve officers of the 320th
Infantry last night, in the Graham
building, 14th and f streets north
west.
Domestic political questions are
settled by the vote in moral way in
the same manner that international
political questions are settled by war"
the speaker said. I'm the event of
the doing away of international wars,
the problem of domestic peace would
still exist he said.
Arbitration Failure, He Says.
National and international ques-
tions cannot be settled by arbitra-
tion," Col. Vestal continued. History
has proved this. Things are some
times presumably settled by arbitra-
ton, but the arbitration itself Is
brought about by force"
He then explained how the rest of
the world has the greatest respect
nations respect our potential strength" T"
Commenting briefly upon the league
of nations. he said that had the
United States been a member of a
league of nations at the time it
would have gone to war in 1914 in
stead of 1917. Referring briefly to
the text of the document, he pointed
out that practically the same prin-
ciples were proposed in it as were
contained in the holy alliance and
many similar agreements which have
proved themselves failures.
The speaker told of the so-called
open-door policy of the United States
with Asia, pointing out that whereas
this country had accomplished its OBJ
ject in commercial way, the
real cause for the adoption of the
policy was to keep several different
powers from forming powerful
military organization.
In conclusion, he pointed out that
peace could best be maintained by
preparedness, and related how domes-
tic questions are settled through the
usage of the ballot box. 1T is the
greatest duty of you, as soldiers of
the greatest government of all times.
TO uphold the results of the ballot
box" he said.

TOXIC, Dec. 4.-Yamanioto made a statement to the Associated Press to- day that the deepest impression was made on the people of Japan by the recent Thanksgiving proclamation of President Coolidge, in his reference to the great earthquake. He said.
 We noted that the President stat ed the year 1923 brought the Ameri- can people two tragic experiences one. the death of Harding, and the other the disaster of the friendly people of Japan. The coupling of our tragedy with the bereavement of your country is an indication of the sym pathy that has touched the depths ot our hearts. We are profoundly grate- full for evidences of friendship during our distress.
