Plan to Insure World's
Peace Halted bjj War
Continued from Tate One
with the representation that each nation
should have In the great court The confer
ence was approaching an amicable settle
ment of this detail when a brilliant repre
sentative of a Central American country.
Jealous lest that nation Bhould lose some
degree of precedence, started a fight, the
point of which was tho demand that the
smallest nations should have equal repre
sentation with the greatest Upon this point
'.he conference found that It could not agree
nnd It adjourned without having determined
the matter of proportionate representation
With such an Institution established and
supported by the public opinion of the
world, it would have been difficult for any
nation In the world to have refused to
refer Its claims to Judicial settlement So
might the great war have been prevented
However, the court was not set up Tho
members of the American delegation re
turned to their homes, proud of the progress
that had been made toward Judicial settle
ment of International disputes but cha
grined that the court should hive failed
of being actually organized because of
disagreement over a minor detail
Five years ago I talked with General
Horace Porter, who was a member of the
delegation. He said then that the world
had all but established a means of settling
Its difficulties but did not know it The
public, as a whole, never realised what
had been accomplished Thoso American
experts, who were about the onlj people
who knew tho value of the thing thit had
been done, strove vainlj to get some further
action In the premises Nobodj paid any
attention Years passed and the time foi
the next Hague conference approached It
was scheduled for 1916 Then the work
should be done In tho meantime they saw
war clouds gathering and feared that a
great calamity would break before the next
conference could take action
It was In Januarj, 10H. that Jamei
Brown Scott took the bull by the horns
and urged that something be done Imme
diately toward making this court a reality
According to the provisions of the agree
ment of the Second Hague Conference, it
was not Imperative that all the nations
represented should be parties to the ac
tions that established the world court Any
group, of nations might agree among them
selves that the difficulties arising between
them should be referred to a court They
might establish a court for that purpose
A small group might father the court and
might later Invite other nations to become
parties to It.
Here was a possibility of action. Why
should not a selected group of nations that
had agreed to the court at The Hague Im
mediately set It up? The International
specialists, after their six jears of watting,
asked the American State Department If
this proposal might not be put to certain
nations. The State Department gave Its
assent.
American International experts, headed
by James Brown Scott, went to Europo
The plan was that Holland should be
asked to make the proposal to eight na
tions Great Britain, France, Jtaly, Rus
sia, Austria, Germany, Japan and the
United States. Holland agreed. The Invl
tatlons were Issued to these nations to enter
the group that would make the court a
reality. Those invitations were being con
sidered on August 1, 1914, when Europe
went to pieces like a clay pigeon In the air.
Since the war broke the world has been
forced to look the situation In the face and
come to a realization that nations go to
war because there Is no other method of
settling their disputes. The plans of na
tions are that, after the war, there shall
be an agency to co-ordinate them and to
settle In accordance with Justice the dif
ferences between them. World public opinion
ha fairly well crystallized around a great
court on which all have representation, and
an International legislative body to make
laws for that court. The first Is a piece
pf machinery that may well be modeled on
the Supreme Court of the United States. The
second will probably be but an enlarged
Hague conference with Increased powers
So far there Is but one point of difference
between atudents of the situation There Is
.one gTOUp which h,olds that an armed force
must be put back of thla Suprmee Court of
theTvorld, and that this International fores
must see to It that all nations send their
troubles In for Judicial settlement, .The
othf faction holds that there will be no
m an armea rorc. M.-.the public

Allies to Accept Wilson
Reply as Joint Answer
Continued fr:n r-re One
decrees and discussion to lnnuence Ameri
can public opinion
The reply of President Wilson Is evidence
that they have failed In this
Germany's next step, then, diplomats
here believe, may be expected In the form
of a new outbreak of terror from her
U-boats
President Wilson's reply, which was re
ceived at the Vatican estcrda, was In
tentlj studied by tho Pontiff todaj.
The Pontiff is reported to have spent the
entire night studjlng the answer. He was
assisted bv State Secretary Ceretti, former
auditor of the papal legation in Washing
ton Those close to the Vatican declare tho
Pope rcgirds President Wilson a3 the out
standing power among the belllgeients He
Is therefore searching every phase of the
pole mlnutelj for nn American and possibly
an Allied directive pollcj that maj prove to
bj the key to peace
His hollners Is somewhat disappointed
over the reply received from the American
executive, but is still not discouraged
At the Vatican todav it was stated thit
when replies of all belligerents are re
ceived Pope Benedict proposes to Issue a
statement pointing out the questions of
peace on which all agree and separating
those on which there arc differences These
latter he proposes to moke a matter of
discussion In this way he hopes gradually,
by sifting out the agieed sections tn make
peace a matter of practical politics
According to rumors here Emperor Carl
of Austria and even the Kaiser have writ
ten the Pontiff Indicating pledges of the
widest democratization within their empires
The dispatch does not indicate whether
these letters were written before cr after
Pope Bendlct Issued his appeal, but It Is
reasonable to assume they preceded the
Pontiff s note
In spite of the decrees and discussion
within the Central Empires and the letters
to the Vatican It Is believed here the
"democratic" moves are designed for Ameri
can consumption rather than for the Teu
tonic people themselves
I'ailure of this plan nf autocracy then
leaves but one alternative new strokes to
crush Its foes, which may be delivered by
the U boats, through renewed attempts to
starve out England and prevent supplies
reaching the American army from the
United States
ALLIES NOT CONSULTED
ON ECONOMIC PROPOSAL
WASHINGTON, Aug 31.
Secretary of State Lansing said today
that neither Great Britain nor France hid
been consulted by this Government on the
economic proposal as outlined by the Pres
ident In his message to the Pope He said
that the general attitude of the United
States on this line was well known both
In London and Paris The fact that the
United States has purposeb refrained from
Indorsing the result of the Paris conference,
which df lared for a post-bellum trade war.
It was pointed out, showed the feeling of
this Government on the subject
President Wilson's reply has been re
ceived by the British Cabinet and the Brit
ish people "with enthusiasm which equaled,
If it did not exceed, the announcement that
the United State had entered the war"
This was officially reported to the State
Department today from London by Am
bassador Page While the text of the
Page message wa3 withheld, Secretary
Lansing made it plain that the President's
note has the approval of the British people
seemingly In every way
Germanj's woiren are likely to have much
to do In remolding Teuton peace opinion

that peace Is not far distant

that the coming winter will be the worst
Germany his experienced since the great
Mruggle started vhome iropn are short.
Fats are scarce Smaller ra'.ons are in
force
The Kaiser himself begins to see tho
signs of trouble, for he has ordered the
newspapers not to print his name so much
and what he does Hence the Gcrnnn peo
rle are no longer fed on fulsome praise of
a leader whose authority Is to some degrco
becoming hated.
One evidence of food shortage Is the fact
that prisoners, aluaji scantily fed, are
now on lower rations than ever before
Turnip and beet houps sometimes flavored
with nettles, with now and then a potato,
constitute the bulk of the prisoners' diet
And to mike their lot worse, Germany Is
forcing them to work on the west front,
frequently In the direct line of fire
All this Is found In official reports here,
showing that a revolution mnj be nearer
than surface Indications show Confidential
messages Indicate that the Liberals are
growing bolder, and ofllchls believe that
when the full force of President Wilson's
mes'igo strikes thin party It will force a
governmental reforms thit will place power
In the people's hands rather than with the
Kaiser and his war lords.
This Government will ece that actual
translations of the President's repl to the
Pope reach Germany to correct Impressions
that America's spirit la one of butchery and
conquest.
Wilson has he'd out the first ray of hope
to the German people by showing clearly
tint peace negotiations can be undertaken
onco the plotting, murderous Hohenzollern
regime Is sidetracked
This Government will prompt! undertake
peace proceedings when this comes about.
It will notify the Allies that the reforms
have been accomplished, and that they must
fall In line with the peace negotiations

condition hru nf the uncertainty of the
action to be taken by the Federal authorities,
ard few dealers ventured to do much trad
ing. The best wheat, northern spring, JJ
bringing something around $3, while mill
prices for the lower grades ranged from
$2,30 to $2.60.
"However, most dealers wcro afraid to
touch t'ie market and those that did so
operated for wide profits."
Mr. Irwin also said that, the best winter
and spring 'wheat flours which have been
selling for $13.60 to $lfl per barrel of 196
pounds would now probably be obtainable
In a steady supply at a stabilized price of
approximately $12. He pointed out, how
ever, that It is too early to make predic
tions as to actual figures or whether bakers
would be morally obligated to reduce the
prlco of bread to five cents He expressed
confidence, nevertheless that the consumer
would surely benefit to some extent.
Advices from Milwaukee, state that the
great milling concerns located there had an
nounced that flour prices would be cut as
an outcome of the President's act. They
were not prepared to say how great the drop
would be.
'The price fixed will naturally mean some
reduction In the price of flour," said John
Crosby, of tho Washburn-Crosby Company.
"How much it will be reduced depends on
the Government. Tho Government will de
termine finally how much we are to be al
lowed for cost of manufacture."
A. C. Lortng, president of the Plllsbury
Flour Mills Company, said the reduction on
tho price of flour would make It "a great
deal less than this spring."
Farmers expected not less than $2.50 for
wheat. The price finally agreed on by the
Government committee will mean that
isorthwest farmers will receive, less than $2
for wheat, some grain men declare. Grain
men of tho Northwest arc Inclined to be
content with the figure set
That seven cents for a slxteen-ounce loaf
of bread, under the new price of wheat,
would give the bakers plenty of profit, was
tho opinion of I. G. Graff, president of the
Commercial Exchange
"In figuring out the fair price for a loaf
of bread, It must be remembered that the
big bakeries with their expert methods can
get 300 slxteen-ounce loaves from a barrel
of 190 pounds of flour. At seven cents a
loaf this would give them $21 When ou
consider that flour may sell as low as $10
a barrel under the new wheat prices, 'mvb'V ti
cent bread would leave the baker In a vryi ! 4j
