DIPLOMATS IGNORE
PEACE PLAN WITH
TEETH

New York-(FP)-A peace plan
with teeth in it, proposed by Dan
ish general, has arrived in New York
from Paris, blown over, perhaps, by
the gust of ribald laughter which
went the round of European capitals
after the signing of the Kellogg
peace pact. Nobody seems to have
heard of Gen. Frits Holm before, and
naturally the big dailies have not
rescued him from obscurity. But
those who are familiar with his plan
admit that it would really stop wars.
Gen. Holm's peace plan is drawn
in the form of a projected law which
all peace- desiring nations are urged
to adopt AS war rs never caused
by the public at large but by mi
nority ruling class" it provides that
within 10 hours after the declaration
of war or the beginning of armed
hostilities with "any other nation or
faction of another nation" the fol-
lowing persons shall be drafted for
service as privates in the infantry
shock troops, the submarine branch
of the navy, or the air force.
/. The head of the state, if male,
whether president or sovereign.
2. All male blood relatives of the
head of the state who have attained
the age of 16.
3. All male civilian officials, and
military, naval and air officers, at
tached to the household of the head
of the state.
4. The prime minister and other
cabinet officers, as well as the as

to-wit: All members of parliament
arV or congressional bodies, of both
lower and upper houses, except such
members as voted openly against such

9. All bishops and prelates, or &C.
clesiastics of similar rank of the ma
tons Cnnstian and other churches,
whether state churches or no, WIN

conflict or war.
These enlistments as privates are
to be for the duration of the war, and
are to be enforced regardless of Che
persons age or health, which will be
passed upon by the medical authori-
ties after enlistment.
Drafted for service at the front as
nurses or servants in the medical
corps are all wives and female blood
relatives of those enumerated above
all female government officials, al
lady congressman who did not vote
antiwar, and the head of the state
if that office is filled by woman.
Every ex-private who has pawneC
crOix de guerre, an iron cross or &
congressional medal during a jobless
spell will doubtless give hearty as
sent to the following clause:
Promotion in rank, even for con
spicuous military or medical ser
vice, is denied the persons mentioned
above forever; but their services, i
worthy, may be recompensed will
available national decorations"
To fill the yawning cavities in gov
eminent left by the abrupt departur
of the best minds for the front, de
puties or vice officials are to be chos
en- at each election or appointed il
advance by the head of the state
The positions of all elected represen
