Colonel Roosevelt If n man ob jects to the use of force in civil life to protect his home and rights, his position is logical, although ab surd and wicked. War made this country fit to inhabit. WASHINGTON. Deo. . Two revolu tionary plans for Insuring future world Pcaco today wore advocated before the Pan-American Scientific Congress, In sen Blon. here. In conflict with these proposals was Colonel Roosevelt's argument. In nn ad dress read to tho sociological department of tho congress, that war was as much a necessity ns pollco activity In civil life. When pollco are no longer needed In Now" Tork nnd Chicago, ho said, then It would bo tlmo to argue peace In Europe. Tho Colonel delivered himself of a sting ing criticism of pcaco ndvocatcs such as David Starr Jordan nno. Henry Ford. A "Pan-American court of Justice," with Joint treaties among- ill Pan-American nations for compulsory arbitration of differences, to keep peace, in tho "Western Hemisphere at least, was pro posed by Dr. Euseblc Bracamonte. of Salvador, at a meeting of tho Interna tional law section of the congress. Tho Becond peace plan was that ad vanced last night by ex-Secretary of State Ellhu Root. Ho proposes a new coda of International law after tho war to bo en forced, by force of arms, upon nations which violate It. "When this war Is ended," said Root, "the civilized world will have to deter mine whether what tie call International law Is to bo continued as a mere code of etiquette or Is to be n real body of laws Imposing obligations much more definite and lnevltablo than they havo been here tofore. Laws, to bo obeyed, must have punishment behind them. That punish ment must be caused by powers superior to tho lawbreakers." Mr. Root declared that international law had virtually become obsolete dating from Germany's violation of Belgium. Touching on the subject of disarma ment, Colonel Roosevelt raid: "The tnslc of getting nil the policemen, all tho col lego professors, nil tho business men and mechanics and also all the professional crooks In New York to abandon the reign of force and to live together In harmony undoubtedly would bo much easier than to effect a similar working agreement among the various people of Europe, America, Asia and Africa. "Discussion of the abolition of war will not have even academic value until a method of right living Is discovered at home which will spread so that tho po lice force of New York and Chicago can be abolished." "No intelligent man desires war," Col onel Roosevelt concluded. "But no Intelligent man who Is willing to think can fall to realize that we llvo In a great and freo country only because our forefathers were willing to wage war rather than accept the peace that spells destruction. "At present In this world and for the Immediate future It Is certain that tho only way successfully to oppose the might which la tho servant of wrong Is by means of the might which Is the servant of right. "The really essential things for men to remember, therefore, In connection with war are. first, that neither war nor peace Is immoral In lUelf. and. secondly, that In order to preserve the 'social values' It is absolutely essential to prevent the dominance in our country of the one form of militarism which is surely and com pletely fatal, that Is, tho military domi nation of an alien enemy. "If tho man who objects to war objects to the use of force in civil Ufa to protect his home and rights, his position Is logi cal, although both absurd and wicked " Francisco Capella y Pons', of Uruguay, at the international law section meeting said there was a marked tendency in American nations to settle external con flicts in a "sane and pacific" manner. The nine sections of the congress today divided into their 45 subsections. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, before the pub lic health section, declared that If "we class as drug addicts those who have acquired the habit for one or more of these drugs the number in the United States would be close to half or two. thirds of the population. The epidemic of typhus which Serbia has Just passed through is probably the last one which will occur in Europe or In any other part of the civilized world, unless conditions favoring epidemic are worse than have ever existed before, was the opinion expressed by Dr. B. W. Cald well He said that the lessons taught by this present epidemic permitted an optimistic view for the future. The dis ease In Serbia was due entirely to pre ventable causes, to Inexcusable Indiffer ence on the part of the Serbian military and civil authorities, he declared, and to "'carelessness amounting- to crime." Cutting- tho GordJan knot resulting from th tangle of various conflicting customs regulations, classifications and port prac tices and charges in the several Ameri can countries was suggested in a paper read at the morning session of the sec tion on transportation, commerce and taxation by F. M. Halstead, chief of the division of customs of the United States Treasur All of the countries. Including the United States, are guilty of maintain ing unreasonable regulations, he said, and, though international conferences have recommended uniform practices in sopie particulars, the recommendations have not yet been adopted. f .. 9 H JbiKe Finding Money U, & LOAN SOCIETY I.UWK9T KVTKS ON tU,3IO,Nl)., ,1NU ,lKMfcHr U7 N, Broad St. lUarnU if i Mustti stb Mnret flVENlHG One Year Ago Today Germans reinforco their lines In Belgium, Belgian authorities point out to United States thnt Germany's de cision to cancel consular exequa turs raises question of sovereignty in Belgium.
