Jeing of an sage which prevents ue from entering the military service, we are endeavoring to render a little ae- sistance to the cause along other lines, To that end we have writen several patriotic eonge, and & pumber of ar- ticles for the public press bearing on conditiors that are at present con- fronting the vation, the Allies and the world. Qar first article, that one relating to lasting world peace, snd a world pesca court,” was writen in 1916, and was printed in a number of leading pa- pers in Pennsylvania, and in three hiecago daily papers, the suggestions, briefly stated, being as follows ; 1st fhe free use of all maritime ghwaye for all vations, 2¢:¢d. The disbauding of all stand- ing armies except such as are needed for domestic service, 8rd. The prevention of any nstion to wage war for conquest. 4tb, Universal freedom for all pna- tions toward the development and dis~ tribution of their commerce. 5th. The establishment of a world pesce court, 6th. That any nation refusing to abide by the mandates of a peace court ghall be socially, diplomatically and commercially denied the privileges of further intercourse with all other na- tions, thereby either to be forced into submission or made to perish. The forgoing views were submitted to President Wilson by letter prior to the time of their appearance in the public press, and antidating his fam- ous ‘‘ Peace without victory” mes- sage. GERMAN PRISONERS ON AMERICAN FARMS, Duripg last May we conceived the ides that if several hundred thrusand German prisoners now beld by the Allies were brought to . the United States and put to work on farms to grow and harvest crops, to feed the Allied armies and the destitute of Ea- rope, much needful service could and would be rendered. This idea became so impressive that we were about to give it to the Aseociat- ed Prese, but before action was taken Senator Hale, of Maine, who also thought of it, introduced it in the United States Senate, where action Is now pending.
