ANTE-WAR TREATY
Ex-SeCretary of Navy Sees
End to Americas "ISoIa-
ton" in Pact.
By the Associated Press.

MONTREAL. N. c., August 2.-''It is
a fitting celebration of the centennial
of the first federated American peace
society" said Josephus Daniels, former
Secretary of the Navy, in an address
at the Presbyterian Assembly here last
night, that the Secretary of State
sails this week for Paris to sign a pact
with Is nations TO outlaw war. All
peace-lovers hail this voyage and this
new treaty with hope and JOY.
They trust ii is the visible token OF
an end of the long night of parochial-
ism and selfish interests. which have
held America in thrall since it turned
its back upon practical idealism to en-
brace material normalcy."
Mr.. Daniels reioined that no longer
any statesman invoked the creed that
was popular in 1919. 'let Europe stew
in its own juice: let us take care or
ourselves" He was thankful, he said,
that the proposal Of the Kellogg treaty
showed an official movement toward
assuming some responsibility for the
peace of the world
He quoted the Memorial day speech
of President Coolidge as showing a
recognition of the fact that the United
States interests are now so great and
so widespread" that any war in any
part OF the world concerns the nation.
This remuneration of war as an in
strument of national policy, originating
in France. accepted and enlarged to
include other countries. is further evi-
dence." he continued. that these two
republics. now as in the Revolution. are
giving TO the world an international
policy as in 1775 they created revolu-
ton in public affairs by establishing a
nation based on the consent of the gov
erned.
Such a government then was some
thing new and revolutionary. For gov
ernments q century and half later to
induce many nations TO renounce war
as national policy is quite as new
and revolutionary"

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The House Agricultural Committee has approved of the Vestal Bill to promote agricultural experiment tation work in Alaska.
 Dr. K. w. Allen, Chief of the Agriculture Department'soffic of Experiment Stations, told the Committee there is much need of further experimental work in AL aska. Some of the work already done is toward adaptation of plants to the climatic and soil conditions. The experiments con ducted in the United States are of little value to the Alaskan farmer, he said, and the measure would extend to Alaska the bene- fits of the Hatch Act, Adams Act, Purnell Act and Smith-Lever Act, all of which provide experimental activities in colleges in the work.

 There were lot of swell dressed people there, and among them was a handsome sheik;

Find Unexplored Mine
 Under French Railroad

LILLE, France, May 1S-The tens of thousands of passengers who have travelled by rail be tween Lille and Paris during the past ten years have, without knowing it, been literally riding over powder mine.
 Workmen repairing the grade crossing at Liberc0urt unearthed formidable collection of Ger. man shells varying in caliber from 3 to 10 inches connected with electric detonators, skillfully buried under the track. This mine had apparently been laid by the Germans during the retreat in 1918. but the wires leading to the detonators must have been cut preventing the explosion.
