REV. DR. HILL LEADS /. DRIVE AGAINST WAR
(Continued From First Page)

1t most of its reason and force are our militarists, army and navy men, and whose conviction is very deep, and, I am persuaded. sincere.
 At the other extreme stands a body of men and women who stinct is very virile and necessary part of the human. it does not therefore follow that war between nations must be, nor that if war ever be done away with civiliZa- ton will lose any element that gives it strength. virility and pro- gress. On the contrary. the convic- tion is very firm that in the doing away with war forces will be re- leased that will make for a new and finer vitalizing of civilization. and the world move forward into a nobler era.
 Masses Without Conviction
 Between these TWO groups is the greater mass of men and women who are without any real convic- tions on this subject, who live in more or less of perplexity. They hear set forth by one or the other of the above groups contending opinions, but from these derive nothing that gives them definite, well-formed ideas. In this uncer- tainty. and because of the unsettled state of the world, the uusatisfac- tory results of the Versailles treaty, and the almost constant fighting that has been going on in one and another portion of the earth, these incline rather to the belief that it will be impossible ever to put down war, that war probably will never be wholly abolished.
 "The question that becomes all importunate, then, is this-Can war be abolished? IT 1t were better for mankind and civilization that war be done away with. how can such q good be most surely accomplish ed? This is the particular theme to which we are to address our thought. In this I make no deflni- tion of war as though to distin- guish between aggressive and de- fensive war, as some have consid- cred necessary. If, as may be ad- mitted at the outset, defensive war is justifiable it may in all reason be answered that there can be no defense without aggression. Where ever then there be war there is az gressive war. Tn other words, war is just war. And I fancy that history since 1914 has not left us In much doubt as to what war is."
 Dr. Hill advanced the thought that war could not be abolished by alliances of various nations the re- duction of armaments, or the aboli- tion of secret diplomacy. None of these go to the heart of the matter.
 International Law Dueling Code.
 War IS imbedded deep in the whole psychical and institutional life of mankind" continued pr. Hill Tt has come to be accepted by all nations as a legitimate means Of settling national differences. With all it's horrors there are yet no laws against war. On the other hand 1t has been legitimatized by interna- tional jurisprudence. International law is really the dueling code of na- tions. It defines how war may be conducted. For example, the duel ing codes of oul foretathers regu lated such encounters so that one party might take no unfair advant- age of another, but that if one were to be killed he be killed with dL- politeness. Likewise international law provides that if man is to be

HIGHER RANK IS
NOW POSSIBLE IN
MARINE RESERVES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-For the
first time in its history the marine
corps is to have reserve officers
above the rank of major. In the
past none but regulars. ever got be
vond this rank. Now all this is to
be changed. An examining board
has recommended the promotion of
three majors to lieutenant colonel,
six captains to major, IA first lieu
tenants to captain, and 80 second
icutcnants to first lieutenants.
These recommendation were made
in accordance with new system
which combines seniority with sclce-
tion. Candidates were considered
in the order of their seniority, but
the board could pass over any of
ficcr who in the opinion of the mem
bers was not qualified for higher
rank. III this way an officer S SEN
iority is considered, but his promo
tion is based strictly on merit.
William G. Fay, former lieuten
ant in the regular establishment
who resigned arter 10 years of ser
vice, has been examined for the
same reserve rank. George X. Shul-
CT, formerly Il regular major, has
been appointed a reserve major.
Major Shuier resigned to become
treasurer of the state of New York.

NEW EERRER FRON OLD

RARE OVER-PRODUCTION

There is again good deal Of talk in the south
about movement restrict the cotton acreage. The
Fort Worth Texas, Start eegram thinks this is al
tackng the problem in entirely wrong and futile
way.
in the first place, general movement OF reduc-
ton is possible because every grower wants TO leave
the actual reducing to his neghbors. Also such at
tempted solution the fundamental problems OF
the cotton growers troubles still untouched.
The Star-Telegram offers suggestion Of its own.
1t says:
THE farmers of the south should raise as much
cotton the world needs of them, but they should
manage their business that they obtain a fair
ward for their labors They do this by coopera-
ton, by elimination of wasteful methods, by improve
ment of grades and by sounder financing"
There is in that argument, which could be
applied equally we'll to tie problems of other agricul
turists industry. There is always less dan
ger of over-production of any useful commodity than
there is of foolish handling of the crop after it's grown
or manufactured.

STANDARDS
ARE ACCEPTED BY
COTTON BROKERS

Practical use of the universal cot
ton standards in Elrope is meeting
with general satisfaction among
brokers and merchants, says Will
liam /. Holt department of agricul.
ture cotton expert who has recently
returned to Washington from
abroad.
Universal standards for grades
Of American cotton have progressed
lar beyond the pcrfunctory agree
nent stage in Edrope,' Holt says.
" They have been accepted III fact
by cotton exchanges and cotton as
sociations and put into daily use in
transactions. -
Holt WAS sent abroad to facilitate
the general use of the standards,
following the signing of agreement
between the department OF agricul-
turc and the cotton exchange of
Europe to use the standards in con
nection with American cotton going
to Europe. He says there is grow
ing interest in the standards throug-
out the trade from brokers to spin
nerS.
The trade appreciates, he says
the advantage of moving cotton
from the producer to the consumer
under the same class designation
and description. This means getting
away from the old system under
which the same bale of cotton was
frequently called one grade when i
lcGt the hands of the farmer in the
primary market in America, and an
other when it had reached the SPIN
yer. The trade wants standards
that can be used continuously with
out charge, and the present ones
seem fo meet that rrull1rem.pt -

PHOENIX MUSEUM
NOT THE STATE
MUSEUM, CLAIMED

TUCSON, April 19.-Claiming that
words of the Tucson delegates in
the Woman's Club federation in Phoe-
nix are being twisted and used to
the advantage of people promoting
the new state museum at Phoenix" a
resolution protesting the movement
to disregard the law passed in 1898,
creating a state museum in Tucson,
was unanimously passed at a meet
ing of the Tucson Womans club this
afternoon.
According to Mrs. Norma WEIGH
ardt, president of the club, the Tue
son women at the convention pro-
tested vigorously against the idea of
the new museum and based their
main protest on the fact that a state
museum already exists at the Univer-
sity of Arizona. Literature being
sent out over the state is disregard
ing this fact, they said. The women
declared to have been misquoted were
Mrs George Kit, of Tucson and
Mrs. Norma Weichardt, Tucson, both
members of the delegation to the
convention at Phoenix.
Mrs. Frederic Ransone, another
member of the Tucson club told the
organization, that in conversation
with Governor G. w. P. Hunt about
three months ago, the executive told
her that the matter of a museum in
Phoenix was purely local enter
prise"
