autocracies Democracies are surely not less likely than autocracies to defend the weak and anyone who says a Russian de mocracy in 1014 would not have de fended Servia is libeling the people "Beyond

Prominence is given by the London newspapers to a statement bv Sir Edward Carson to a correspondent in which Sir Edward declares: i "There is a great deal of very loose land mischievous talk about peace Some people seem to imagine we have onlv to conclude a treaty with Ger many and all will be well But 1 should like to ask what is to happen then? Are the nations of the world to pro ceed with prejriiations for the next cunflic to pursue their researches in science to the expansion and creation of still more deadly weapons of war fare to spend their resources in the creation of enormous cohorts of air planes and submarines for the destruc tion of unfortified towns and the mur der of the innocent women and next will come before the annual meeting of the stockholders of the company next month This was stal ed at New Ha en yesterdav bv Vice I'residert Edward (1 Buckland of tw New Haven The various states through which the company's lines tun he said had given permission for such an issue ami the stockholders would now be asked to authorize it The Manchester correspondent of the London Times understands that a a result of pressure on the board of control and the board of trade ar rangements have virtually been com pleted for resumption of dealings it th? cotton futures market Accord ing to this information certain restric tions will be imposed to suppress gam bling MORE MEN AT AYER Visitors Will Be Welcome To mor row The first contingent of the national army to arrive at Camp Deiens yes terday found exercises included in the training course while men who arrived Thursday were go ing through the of the sol Another 1 per cent of the quota leached Ayer yesterday and by to night 2111b men comprising the first 5 per cent will be in camp Vis itors will be admitted to the camp to morrow but will not be allowed in the company barracks or quart ers Jose Ynez Salazar Villa's former chief of staff has been killed in Mexi co This would have been important and interesting news a year or so ago but now most people are too busy to pay any attention to it dron that inhabit them to take advan tage of the experiences gained in this war in improvement of lethal ami poisoned eases for the destruction of humanity? And are we to live in daily terror tiiat at any moment another conflic' may arise which might almost lead to the extinction of civilization it "The truth is a treaty of peace does not necessarily secure peace in the only sense wherein it can be of anv I real use to progress and humanity We talk platitudes about a league of na tions to enforce peace without consid ering conditions essential to its suc cess Eut there was a league of na tions to protect Belgium there were solemn treaties and conventions at The Hague to apply the principles of humanity as far as possible in war and give effect to international law How did these avail on the outrbeak of the I Sir Edward then quotes the Ger man emperor as saying there is no I ternational law that treaties are I scraps of paper and so forth And adds: "I nave not yet seen a single sug gestion made as to how in the future these calamities are to bo prevented from recurring if the lawless temper of the Germans remains unrepentant and their power to repeat their crimes remain what it has been in the past relatively to the rest of the world President Wilson is right when he declares no terms signed by the pres ent rulers of Germany would afford the slightest security for the peace of the world and nothing is more certain than that just in proportion as the military defeat of Germany is incom plete the duration of peace will be short Whatever terms Germany might now bring herself to accept in order to cuperate her strength for anotiter aggression her people would soon forget such economic privations as they have had to endure and would I i tremain convinced they proved them selves invincible" Sir Edward asserted that if this wai ls to put an end to all war German militarism must be sufficiently crushed to make fresh aggression by her Im possible for a long time to come until it is no longer possible for the German poop themselves to be delud ed bv the legend of their invincibility in arms" In conclusion Sir Edward said that it was obvious that Great Britain must carry on the war until such victory is attained as will remove vir tually all danger of war in the future "And and man who tries whatever his motiie be to distract the atten tion of the country from this goal of deliverance is the worst enemy of real CAMP HAS CUP GIT PLATTSBURGER3 Will Encourage Athletic Competi tion at Ayer Much Athletic Material Among Recruits The Plattsburg cup won by the New England contingent at the last Platts burg camp in athletic competition with the New York regiment was presented to Camp Deven by the Plattsburg graduates yesterday to encourage ath letic competition among the members of the new national army who are to train at Ayer The cup will remain in competition probably during the life of the army and will be held in custody of the regiment winning the most points at interregimental meets to be arranged later The Plattsburg graduates detailed there as instructors have been great ly attracted by the athletic possibili ties of the sturdy lot of men who are arriving each day while regular army officers also express satisfaction at the high quality of the material theyr to mold into an arm' There have been no rejections for physical unfitness as yet and there Uive been no cases of sickness notwithstanding the change of air water and living conditions Simple squad formations and e' ting up exercises have been given the recruits thus far and beginning next Monday there will be school sessions each evening when the captains will lecture on efficiency the ethics of mili tary administration and the necessity of discipline with a view of having the early comers do their share in whipping the later contingents into shape There were 4 11) arrivals yesterday including 41) from northern New York 15 from New Hampshire HI from Ver mont 250 from Massachusetts and 125 from Connecticut All of the first contingent from Maine and Rhode Isl and had reached Ayer previously As the nights have been chilly since the camp opened the men watched with interest yesterday the unloading of a large consignment of stoves for their quarters IN DIVISION NO 5 INSURANCE APPROVAL COUNTRY INDS ECHO IN CONGRESS Along With Denunciations of Our Present Pension System rom Our Special Correspondent WASHINGTON ri Sept 7 Probably the argument that it calls only for a few score of million dol lars from the public treasury will be very potent in passing the insurance bill through Congress The principle involved has met with sur prising approval from the country There is next to no opposition to the principle in Congress And yet as President Wilson has suggested in a recent statement it is one of till very most important matters of legislation Senate and House have been called upon to determine in connection with the war It is supposed the first year requirements from the govern ment in meeting the terms of the pro posed law will be SI fl 150 000 Hardly a congressman on the hill comments much about the insurance plan without some word in denuncia tion of the present pension system This applies to the northern law maker as well as to the southern for the former has usually been the more enthusiastic supporter of pensions Eut it is now heard on every hand that the government's present pension system especially the service pen sion is outrageous and unwarranted expenditure of public funds Pre sumably a good many of these law makers with veteran constituents would not say such things very loud out among their own people It is inconceivable that some ob jections could not properly be made however to such a sweeping matter of legislation as this insurance bill is bound to be The fact that Con gress is weary of big measures ac counts for the lack of vigorous op position in some quarters perhaps As a matter of fact the bill which Rep resentative Alexander of Missouri in troduced and which Representative Rayburn of Texas reported from the committee on interstate and foreign commerce is not very generally un derstood at the capitol outside of the committee that considered it The representatives are tailing it on faith and will vote for it on faith have tlm measure on my desk and have been waiting for time in which to study said Representative Greene of Vermont His case is un doubtedly that of a large majority of the House members believe the idea an admirable one for an insur ance feature to form part of a soldier's contract of enlistment It should make an excellent substitute for the present pension plan eliminat ing favoritism and appeals for special enactments by Debates in

the execution of the selective draft law at Washington yesterday epeated that no date has been set for a second call lor men for tlie national army and that so far as is known no second call is contemplated by President Wilson Killings Issued yesterday pro vide that a registrant whose order of liability does nut permit of his being selected for the first quota cannot even at his own request be advanced and sent with that quota The ac ceptance of substitutes for men select ed for military duty is prohibited and local boards are instructed not to con sider claims for exemption based upon a discharge of a registrant from the army navy or marine corps at the expiration of enlistment or for some physical disability since corrected Another ruling is that registrants may in certain circ*mstances be ex empted or discharged to enable them to continue in nonmilitary pursuits but after they are selected for mili tary service thev may not be assigne I to nonmilitary service After the publication of the pope's peace proposals the Roman Catholic newspaper Corriere I printed an article in which Italian soldiers were advised that they were freed from the oath of allegiance and urged to throw down their arms says a dispatch from Udine The paper was suspended for 15 days and its editor a priest and the manager were interned When Pope Benedict was informed of the incident he ordered that the paper be suppressed permanently Debates certainly' in the Senate promise to develop critics of the as sumption' that the insurance feature a now drawn will be altogether proof against further appeals to Con gress Some of the legislators are hop ing a strong sentiment will be found among the people of the country that the government is meeting its obliga tions generously with this legislation In that respect there was an interest ing expression from Pension Commis sioner Gaylord Saltzgaber This was in the early stages of the idea when officials of the executive depart ments were earnestly at work fashion ing a bill Mr Saltzgaber denounced the idea stoutly He said some or those ho benefitted the insurance would spend the money thus received and in the years to come would throw themselves upon the beneficence or Congress not to let rhe defenders of democracy suffer for want of food and thelter Representative Sims of Tennessee one of the interstate commerce com mittee wh reported the pending bill favorably and who 1 lieves heartily in the legislation says there mav be some likelihood of appeals for rerat ings which would open the way for special enactments by Congress not unlike the pi esent private pension bills "or says Mr Sims government board decides that the percentage of disability' with an in sured soldier is a given figure After a season examination by another board might result in a declaration of a larger disability and then of course requests upon Congress to approprite for the error in judgment of the first board that sat upon the The Saltzgaber opposition which apparently carried little weight in of ficial circles for the commissioner of pensions in these Inter days is far less influential than in the palmier days of pension activities and the declaration of John A Key an Ohio democratic representative chairman of the House pensions committee are largely behind the statement that th" pensions crowd of Congress will fio the bill One View Representative Wayne Harker re publican of New Jersey who made a minority report against the insurance bill is not opposed to providing prop erly for soldiers and their families He believes the legislation is not yet per fected payments are too Mr Parker after estimating that the insurance on HOOOJXIO men would be SI 2 1 0OOO 000 take care of out soldiers if they be and wise The annual figures show the possibili ties covered by this bill and the care with which it should fie considered in every item Th se possibilities are staggering It must be assumed that intelligent Americans would all insure If not the single men would be most likely to do so paying premiums out of their reserved pay No such scheme has ever been suggested for any armv It is due to the House that the bill should be more care'ully and fully ex plained than has been done in the report of the majority It involves many complicated subjects and is not easy' to President Wilson wishes the maxi mum of insurance raised from $50'0 to $10000 an presumably this re quest from him will )e complied with The administration of the new law as now drawn would lie placed with the treasury department along with the war risk insurance Indeed the soldiers' insurance bill appears as an amendment to the to authorize the establishment of a bureau of war risk insurance in the treasury de which President Wilson ap proved September 2 11)11 The pro posal of course is to utilize the wav risk insurance bureau which has a good organization Mr Parker has proposed that the enormous tasks of administration involved in insurance should be taken over by the war department and also in case of the sailors by tin navy depart ment Hundreds if not thousands of clerks including chiefs and commissioners in due numbers will be required Such an acquisition of administrative au thority is naturally looked upon with envious eyes by the bureau authorities The fact that the pension bureau with its great brick

organization is been ignored in the framing of the insurance bill may account for some of the opposition from that quarter Although the pension force is now composed of many superan nuated employes it also comprise many experts and the organization ramifies out into the states The pol iticians especially in the states of many civil war pensioners are in touch with this organization and may be somewhat responsive to its repre sentations Advance on Compensation The insurance is regarded in some quarters as a step forward from the compensation acts such as the states have adopted in many instances The federal govern ment also has its own com pensation act now become quite com prehensive It is claimed that with the enactment of tlie soldiers' insur ance law it will not be many years before the government will have to authorize state insurance That may or may not be but in any event sucli a prospect is not likely to prevent th' passage of the soldiers' insurance bill If the insurance companies are op posing the bill it does not mean all insurance men are in that category George 5V Perkins of New York now of political prominence among other things has indorsed the bill He used to lie a life insurance agent and a very successful one before he became identified witli the management of big New Y'ork companies may said Mr Perkins while at 'Washington "that if the government takes on this form of insurance as a war measure the people will want it continued in some form or other in time of But any problems of that kind Mr Perkins adds can be met when we are face
